TRUCE M Nail CONTEST

Kansas City. April 10.-A truce has
been arranged in the railway mail
contest between the Atchison, Topeka
G. Santa Fe Railway company and the
Pennsylvania and Missouri Pacific
Railway companies. Beginning this
morning the Santa Fe fast mail leaves
the Union depot again instead of the
depot at Twenty-second street and
Grand avenue. as it has been doing
several mornings, thereby causing the
eastern mail brought in by the Mis-
souri, Pacific to miss connections west
and south. The Santa Fe fast mail,
however, will arrive in Chicago thirty
minutes later than at present-at 1:45
o'clock-and leave at 2 O'Clock. 1t is
not known what arrangement has
been made to reimburse the Santa Fe
for taking out the eastern mail, for
during the mail weighing season it
receives nothing for carrying the mail
west and south of Kansas City.

BRYAN KICKS ON MARTIN

Washington, April 10.-William j..
Bryan said he regarded the election
of Thomas M. Martin of Virginia as
minority leader of the senate as very
unfortunate for the democratic party,
saying Mr.. Martin represented the re-
dictionary element and the rule OF
seniority invoked in his behalf would
not stand examination.
THAT rule,' Mr.. Bryan said, may
do in the army. In representative
government tue man who is still in
the senate because the people have
not had a recent opportunity to put
him out. ought not to speak with more
authority than the man who comes
fresh from the people.
"The line, however, has been drawn
and we will make much better show
ing this year than two years ago."

noon to resume his work. Mounted
Policeman Collier and other members
of the force have gone to other parts
of the territory to take up other lines
of duty. Detective Tim O'Leary and
Sheriff Secundino Romero were prac-
tically alone on the job. 1t has been
rumored that the special detectives
employed on the case have ceased
their operations. They are men who
do their work. quietly, however, and
may still be on the job.
The return of Captain Fornoff was
plentiful denial of the report that the
investigation had come to a close.
Captain Fornoff, it is understood, will
begin once more. Every phase of the
situation will be subjected to a rigid
examination 1t is not unlikely clew
will be discovered and the identity of
the perpetrators of the deed will be
learned. Captain Fornoff has had
considerable experience as a secret
service officer and has, met with sue
cess. When he returned from Santa
Fejthis afternoon he had the air of a
man who had come to stay until some
thing was unearthed. He admits the
case is the most battling one he has
ever had to cope with. But that does
not mean he is discouraged.
Captain Fornoff has the assistance
of one of the best detectives in the
business in the person of Detective
O'Leary. Sheriff Romero and his
deputies have the reputation of being
able to deliver the goods when called
upon to do SO, and they are also en-
gagged in an endeavor to unravel the
mysteries of the case. Immediate de-
velopments, however, are not expect
ed. The work from now on will be
slow and careful. 1t may be weeks
or months before the kidnapers are
caught, but the officers believe that
they will be successful eventually.
