The brnctng weather gave the Tiger
coaches an opportunity to give the
squad another long day OF practise.
The entire squad, barring Captain Hart,
who is devoting himself solely to his
college work, appeared on the field yes
terday at 10 o'clock, and a short time
was spent In passing the ball around.
The coaches then took aside the drop
kickers and place kickers and worked
q long while with them. Among the
best kiokers of the day we're Farr and
Baker, who played or the freshman team
last season. The punters held the other
part of the field, while the rest Of the
men caught and run back the kicks. A
short drill in formations closed the
mornings work.
In the afternoon the squad was d.
vided into teams, and almost the entire
time a devoted to perfecting them in
the plays which the coaches have
taught them.
In the absence of Captain Hart, IAN
ford B. White, captain of last years
championship baseball nine and end on
last seasons football team, was APP
pointed to the position of acting cap

The footballers were busy at Yale
Field yesterday for the first time this
year and to the surprise of Captain
Howe and Head Coach Field more than
sixty men reported for the first days
work. The practise began earlier than
usual and the chill in the air made the
men lively. Some of them wanted to
scrimmage, but this will not be allowed
for a week or more.
The number of the coaches yesterday
was unusually large for a first day.
Field was on hand, of course, and so
was Arthur Brides, who is to be with
the team all fall. Others were Jack
Owsiey, head coach of Shevlin's famous
team and Earl Kistler and Springer
Brooks, respectively fullback and end
on Captain Daly's team. Kistler will
have charge of the freshmen later, but
until they com will assist in coaching

strange and interesting character. He
looks like a coffee-colored Irishman

irish looks are a part of his strange
story. He is not only the sole ball

perhaps the only member Of that race
in America.
He is not a Cuban, but a native Of
the Canary Islands, living lately at

husband during his lingering illness,

fatally shot her 14-year- old son, Ger

The compact was found in a sealed
envelope in the woman's room.
keene once was a prosperous far
mer, but, according to the compact
the family had become Impoverished
and discouraged during his long sick
ness. He was SO years old and his
wife year or two younger.
The document found in a dresser in
Mrs. Keene's room along with several
farewell letters to relatives, bore the
names of both Mr.. and Mrs Keene
although the husband, apparently,
had been too feeble to make more
than his mark, his name being writ
ten by his wife.
The document recited briefly the
family troubles, the result of Mr.
keene's illness. In it his death was
predicted and it was stated that as
both the parents thought it would be
wrong to have their son remain in the
world to suffer the troubles they had
experienced, Mrs. Keene bound her
self to do away with herself and
their son, as soon as possible after the
death of the husband and father
Friends of the family who were in
the house today assisting in preparing
the body of Mr.. Keene for burial,
heard shots upstairs. They found
the boy. Gerald, in his bed chamber,
with a bullet wound in his right tenn
pie. So close had the revolver been
held to the childs head, probably
while he was asleep, that the hair
about his temple was singed The boy
was alive but unconscious when found.
He lived less than an hour.
The door of Mrs. Keene's room was
broken in and her body was found
stretched on the bed. She had placed
the revolver muzzle to the roof of her
mouth and fired, death probably being
instantaneous. The revolver was on
the bed beside her.
In letters to relatives, to whom
small gifts were made of personal be-
longings, the husband and wife asked
to be buried in a double casket, and
that their sons coffin and theirs be
placed in the same box for final bu-
rial

Makes Charges Against Stewart,
Also Against Cone.
COOKE IN STATEMENT.
General Agent for klaw and

Ayers Booking Agency Will Not

Charges that he has had to run the
gauntlet of political privilege pullers
after favors, are made by Manager E.

the Wichita Eagle. Following the
leasing of the Forum for the presenta-
ton of ben Hur." February 81 to
March 1, he has made complaint about
Commissioners Cone and Stuart,
charging that Cone pulled for rela-

pulled for printing.
The attention of E. G. Cooke, gen
eral agent for Klaw & Erlanger, who
is in Topeka arranging for the stag
ing of Ben Hur' at the Grand opera
house March 2, 8, A. was called to
the interview last night. Mr.. Cooke
said:
Mr. Martling leased the Wichita
Forum without any strings tied to it.
Commissioners Stuart and Cone now
want to tell him where he must hold
his seat sale. What business is it of
theirs where or how Mr. Martling con-
ducts his affairs. He is a recognized
citizen of Wichita and has been in
timately associated with the public for
more than twenty years. AS 1 under

HITS PORK BARREL. !"
White Charges Effort Is Being Made
to Defeat Reform.

Emporia, Kan, Feb. 13.-Speakine of
the dilatory tactics of the legislature,
w. A. White says editorially today in
the Gazette:
Reliable information comes from
Topeka that the senate lodge is making
a pork barrel. The pork barrel con-
slstS OF two new state normal schools
independence for the Pittsburg nor
NAL, which will make it a full fledged
institution, hungry for big appropria-
tions; an extra insane asylum for some
senator's town who Will join the COM
bine, and a hundred thousand dollar
appropriation for the state fair at
Hutchinson.
With the pork barrel agreement
will go an agreement to defeat the
Republican platform pledges. The idea
is to raise the taxes, cut down the ed
ucational institutions, excepting the
three unnecessary normal schools, and
discredit the progressive wing of the
Republican PARTY. Unless the con-
science and manhood of the senate as
serts itself, this plan will be consum-
mated.
There is yet one other recourse. The
people of Kansas should let the stand
Pat senators who are planning this
raid upon the treasury and this rape OF
progress know just what the people
think. The right for progressive prin-
ciples was fairly mace and honestly
won in the late campaign. The people

at the election, end there can be no
excuse that there is not good work.

ties for these things; for a public utili-
ties bill; for the Oregon plan of elect
ing senators; for an employers liability
law and working mans compensation
act; for the initiative and referendum
fer good reads, and for a recall.
Yet, to throttle this legislation, to
cut down the State Agricultural col
lege and cripple the university, to
check progress now and muddy it's
spring, that is the objecty of the re-
dictionaries in the Kansas senate who,
by a pork barrel, are making the tax
payers of Kansas pay the bills of the
bribery that shall hogtie the voters
of Kansas.
isn't it time for Kansas people to
let that standpat senate know what is
coming to it,"
