His Bill for $500 Is FavOrably
Reported in House.
Claim for Civil War Stores Has
Calendar Place.
CURTIS KEEPS BUSY.
Introduces Bill for American
Indian Memorial
Genuine Regret Over Defeat Of
Calderhead for Reelection.
SUNDAY.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE committee
on war claims of the house has report
ed favOrably a bill to pay to Charles
Flanders, Of Kansas, the sum of $500.
This is a claim for stores or supplies
alleged to have been taken by or fur
nished to the military forces of the
United States for their use in the civil
war. The bill occupies a prominent
place on the private calendar, and is
expected to be reached at an early
time.
Senator Charles Curtis has presented
bill in the senate authorizing the sec
rotary of the treasury to pay to An
geline Gray, widow Of James L. Gray,
tie sum Of $500, for losses sustained
by the latter by the taking of % sacks
of corn, % sacks Of wheat, and the use
of 81 yoke of cattle for six days, and
the loss Of 10 head Of cattle by Colo
RADIO company of volunteers in 1864.
Mr.. Curtis also introduced a bill ap-
propriating the sum of 100000 for the
erection of an American Indian me-
mortal and museum building in Wash
ington.
The secretary of the treasury has
submitted to congress a deficiency es-
Innate of $12,S00 for subsistence at the
western branch of the National Homes
of Old Soldiers at Leavenworth. This
amount is in addition to the regular al
1owance for that purpose
The secretary of the treasury also
submitted another estimate of $1,000 for
tro Leavenworth home which is de-
sired for the purchase Of additional
land for the home.
There is genuine regret in the house
over the defeat of Congressman W. A
Calderhead for reelection. This feel
ing extends not only on the Republican
side Of the chamber, but the Demo-
cratic as well. In all the years of his
service Judge Calderhead has been
considered generally by his colleagues
as one OF the ablest men in congress-
Well knowing that he has been for
many years one of the most useful
members in the lower house of con-
gress men come to him most every
cay and give expression of their sor-
row for his defeat. For many years
he has been measured as being one Of
the most conservative men in congress,
one Of the foremost men of the nation
in the matter of national currency and
banking laws of the country, and many
leading questions Of the day his wis
dom and recommendations have been
sought by his colleagues. 1t is con-
sidered in congress that the defeat of
Judge Calderhead is not only a severe
loss to Kansas, but one far greater 70
the nation. Speaker Cannon probably
realizes this more than anyone else.
Naturally, he has a great regard for

of 1900 feet without finding any fur
ther indications of gas below that
