Little Hope of Recovery of Veteran
Depot Master.

Patrick H. Sherman, one OF IopeKa
early residents and for the past %
years depot master at the SANTA :
station, is seriously ill at his nome at
POS East Eighth avenue.
Pat sherman is one of the widely
known men of the city and particularly
among railroad people. His first trip
through Kansas was as a plalnsman
and this occupation was broken the
year of SO when he was brigade wagon
master under Colonel Henry Imam IN
the early seventies he served on the To-
peka police force and was also city
marshal He became Santa Fe depot
master in 1881.
Dr. Mark L. Bishoff of the Santa Fe
hospital staff has been in attendance
upon the old employee but has almost
given up hope of his recovery. Mr.
Sherman seemed to gain strength last
night but was worse again today. He
is dying from Bright's disease.

UNCLE Joe SPEAKS.
He Holds the Newspapers Responsible
for the Reciprocity Treaty.

Washington, May 6-After Representa-
tives Collier of Mississippi and Carter OF
Oklahoma had spoken in favor of the free
list bill today, former Speaker Cannon
took the floor in opposition He referred
to it as the Balm of Gilead" offered by
the Democrats to the farmers because or
the passage of the Canadian reciprocity
bill, Then dissecting the measure he en-
deavoIe to show that its benefits would
not be important.
Mr.. Cannon demanded to know why live
cattle, rice and other products OF the
south ha6 not been put on the free list
bill, when these products or the nortnern
farmer had teen deprived of protection
by the reciprocity measure. he lnllmAteQ
that southern members on the ways ana
means committee had kept the tarlH pro-
lection on southern products
And you wool raisers of Montana ana
Wyoming are in a bad way, ne ADDED
unless Texas comes to your rescue.
Renewing an attack on RECIPROCITY MI
Cannon said:
II believe this secret agreement never
would have been made II II nag no hot oe ;es
demanded by the great puohshins IN
tereStS of the country
President Taft'S speech at the puollsh-
ers banquet in New York, he salo' was
fine piece of humor, better tnaa any
thing of Clements
Gin it the president urged the publish
ers to be constant in favoring the pas
sage of the reciprocity bill without amend
ment.
Mr. Cannon also referred to the Associat-
ed Press, saying it was made up OF the
publishers, and that in turn the pubhSn-
ers made up the Associated Press- ne
declared II was great organization and
that he would not kill it if he could .
81 lose my temper over the RECIPROCITY,
said Mr.. Cannon. ST felt that those VINO
represent two-thirdS of the people were
willing to sacrifice the others to answer
the hYsterical cry raised by the dema-
gogues, the Democrats and the neWspa-
pers." ia
He predicted that the Democrats would
be overthroWn in the next election.

INDIAN WINS RACE.
Beats 900 Other Runners
in Modified Marathon.

New York, May 6.-Tewanima, the
Carlisle school Indian finished first in
the II mile Marathon race today from
the Bronx to City Hall park. His time
was 1 hour minutes IL seconds. This
is within 8 minutes of the American
record. Masterson of the Mohawk
Athletic club finished second and
Harry Smith of the Pastime A. c..
third.
If all the entrants had toed the
same line standing one yard apart,
they would have stretched across a
track more than 3-5 of a mile wide
There is no such avenue in the world
and they had to get off at the crack
of the pistol as best they could, with
the stronger runners at the back of
the mob. The start in squads would
have taken too long. Among the best
known names on the lists were Will
liam Kramer, Alex Ahlgeren, Fred
Bellars, former cross country cham
pion; Harry McGinn and Lewis Te-
wanima, the Indian from Carlisle
school. They were the favorites. One
thousand athletes started.
