The fight on the bill preceded the
speech of the fish and game warden
and the Kansas fish scientist was
given a reception that was not on the
advance notices. Robertson called the
senates attention to the fact that the
bill did not carry an enacting clause.
Price, who presided, said the commit

date and passed the matter. Then
there was trouble over the wardens

but Reed . thought $1,000 sufficient.
Travis was for generosity in the office
and wanted the amount increased to

salary amendments went over to the
general amendment order.

Myers, chairman of the fish end game
committee, refused to answer questions
and declared that ne had not prepared

having read the document.
Hodges saw no reason why the bill
should not be further reduced He
stood for brevity, he declared and
asked to remove an er.tire section. His
suggestion was we'll taken and this en-
couraged Robertson TO urge the scalp

making great progress. Three pages of
the document had been reduced to one
and the members saw economy in the
printing of the 1911 sessions acts.
Caldwell almost broke up the meet

half dozen suggestions of improvement

porated in the Reed resolution and

Vim. Harvey Brown Is Still Fond of
Topeka, However.

Topeka has made a marvellous
change since 1 used to come up from
K. Z. to oratorical contests, more
than twenty years age said William
Harvey Brown, who stopped in To-
peka few hours Thursday on his way
to England. and eventually to Sails

he has become a naturalized citizen.

then the frontier of South Africa. He
is now one member of the law making
body of the country.
I'VE used to come up here to To-
peka,'' he continued, land paint the

when the police would interfere. In
passing through the country my i'm

air of prosperity that the other states

ably with any city of its size 1 have
seen in this country.
"I would not be surprised if Rho
desia will become the next great coun-
try which will be affected by the on
rush of civilization, but the great
handicap will be the large negro popu-

those of the Transvaal and then there

supply Europe beef, the millions of
acres of South African weld will fur

ply the European demand. Last year
thousands of bushels of corn were
shipped from Rhodesia to London, and
the tobacco industry bids fair to be-
