Kansas City, Kan, July ia plan
whereby Huron cemetery, the old
Wyandotte Indian burying ground ad-
joining Huron park in Kansas City,
Kan, may be purchased by the city
and added to the park without disturb
ing the graves, instead of being sold to
the highest bidder as ordered by an act
of congress several years ago, is being
prepared in the form Of a definite pro-
position and will probably be submit =
ted to the city commissioners within a
few days.
The act of congress which repudiated
the treaty made by the government
with the Wyandottes, giving the land
to them without condition for a bury
ing ground, provided that the land be
sold and the proceeds divided among
the surviving members OF the tribe.
The act specified that if an offer of
$40, 900 was received the cemetery might
be sold at private sale, falling which,
it must be sold to the highest bidder.
Although the act was passed several
years ago, the efforts of Miss LYDIA
Conley, who studied law for that pur-
pose and has waged a legal fight, have
so far prevented the sale.

be purchased by the city and preserved

SAPP WILL CONE.
Volunteers to Give His Testimony
Before Attorney General.

Judge E. E. Sapp, of Galena, comes
TO the front and puts an end to the
squabble between Governor Stubs and
Attorney General Dawson. He volun-
teers to come to Topeka and testify
provided the hearing is public. His
letter to the attorney general follows:
Il see by the paper today that the
governor is insistent upon an examina-
ton OF myself in reference to what
purported to be statements made by
me in the newspapers, and there seems
to be an intentional misconstruction of
which I did say in reference to having
satisfactory understanding with YOU
What I intended to convey, and what
believe did convey, was, that we
were in harmony in the method that
you had devised for the enforcement
of the prohibitOry liquor law. I will
be very glad, if it will aid you in any
way, to come to Topeka at any time
you may suggest, to give you such in
formation as the governor seems de-
sirious of my giving, that will in any
way aid you in the enforcement of the
law in this county. And probably it
would be better, because there seems
to be misunderstanding of what 1
have in fact said. In your letter YOU
ask me what mean by the word
him As remember I was talking
with the county attorney and the sher-
if and Mr.. WickerSham in reference
to the disappearance or the sale of the
and as the conversation was general
cannot say which one said, that the
selection OF the deputies had been made
by. as I understood, Mr.. Lindsay I
then went to Judge Lindsay and said
to him: Mr.. Lindsay, I understand that
whoever raided that place appropriated
to their own use, or sold, ten cases of
whisky and about 80 barrels of beer.
q meant by the word barrel, one half
barrel and one-fourth barrel but in our
conversation we had always mentioned
them as b2rrels). We cannot enforce
the liquor law in This county in that
way. 1t brings discredit upon the Of
ficers attempting to enforce the law,
and I insist upon the punishment of
these men. I understand that Mr..
Wickersham bought some of this beer,
and it ought not to be difficult to find
out who these men were that sold this
liquor This is the substance. I think.
Of what I said to Mr.. Lindsay
afterwards. uron the examination
in the John Martin matter, the sheriff
was placed upon the stand and the
warrant given him for Identification.
The warrant upon its return showed
that they had obtained IS packages of

LARGEST IN COUNTRY

In the fiscal year which closed June
80. the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railway completed 2,O4s miles of
metallic circuit telephone train dis
patchers' circuits and added this mile
age of lines to the circuits now being
operated. This gives the Santa Fe the
largest mileage of telephone train dis
patching circuits in the United States.
The total of 6,431 miles are now in use
on the Santa Fe.
As it requires two wires for each
circuit. 1852 miles of new wire was
required for this purpose.
This announcement has been made
by L. NJ. Jones, general superinten-
dent of telegraph of Topeka.
Mr.. Jones reports that telephone
dispatching will cover the Rio Grande
division, $50 miles, and the new Can
yon City line to Coleman, Tex, 312
miles, in the near future. This work
IS under way and will be completed
as fast as possible
In addition to the mentioned work
last fiscal year, 1,754 miles of wire
was strung for the handling of rail-
way and commercial messages by tele-
phone and 643 miles of wire for the
handling of messages by telegraph.
Two hundred miles of new pole line
has been constructed along new lines.
This includes Cap Rock to Coleman,
Tex: Slayton Junction to I1amesa,
Tex; also from Lometa, Tex. west. In
addition to this ESQ miles of old pole

San Bernardino, Cal. July 13.-The
largest number of workmen ever en-
ployed in the local Santa Fe shops are
now doing overtime duty in repairing
the large number of engines damaged
by the Seligman and Barstow fires.
More than 1900 men are now en-

for at least the balance of this month.
The extra hours will probably be
maintained for the same length of

day shift of about twelve hours, COM
mencing at O'Clock il the morning
and quitting at z O'Clock at night. The
night shift works about ten hours,
embracing two score men or more.
Several engines to be used in the

SANITARY DRINKING CUPS.
Burlington Follows Practice Over
Country.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 1S.-Railroads
throughout the country are speedily
complying with the new sanitary reg
ulations made compulsory by a num-
Der of the legislatures.
The Burlington system has taken
the lead in the installation of individ-
ual drinking cups on all its lines
north and west. Though the new law
affects the Burlington only in Illinois
supply all ~ patrons in every state
with the new individual cups.
Special automatic devices have been
installed so that every car will be fur
nished with an apparatus to supply
travellers with the individual cups.
The individual paper drinking cup is
made of pure celluIose. It folds fat
and can be carried in pocket, purse or
satchel.
P. S. Eustis, passenger traffic man
ager Of the Burlington system, has
personally directed the installation of
the automatic devices. He said: For
some time Wisconsin has had the ban
on the so-calIed death cup, it being
customary on trains running through
the state of Wisconsin to have the
porter remove the drinking cups at
the northern or southern boundary of
the state and replace them after the
train had traversed the other bound
airy line
1.-THE Burlington system, seeing the
wisdom of such a measure, determined
not only to comply with the law with
reference to these Individual states,
but to extend it's application every
where on the system. The individual
drinking cup with the proper safe
guards is being installed in all Bur-

COST OF TRUST BUSTING
Government Has Paid Special Prose

Washington, July 13.-The govern
ment paid to Special assistant prose-

in addition to $2,345, 035 in salaries to
the regular assistants, according to a
report furnished the house committee
on expenditures in the department of
Justice. The committee was inquiring
again into the cost OF the trust bust
ing campaign of the government, but
the figures supplied by the department
OF justice were substantially the same
as those recently made public.
The figures showed, among other
things. that Frank B. kellogg had not
only been paid $4,000 as special coun-
sci in the Standard Oil and other cases
from September 80. 1907, to February
2, 1911, but had spent more than $22,-

Graves Should Be Protected.

Graves Should Be Protected.

bidder for building purposes and the
consequent opening of the graves
would be breach of faith far from
creditable- AS a park, the graves may
be fenced off and remain undisturbed.
The open spaces can be improved with
walks, benches and flowers, with en-
frances by steps from Seventh street,
Minnesota avenue and from Huron
park Owned by the city, the expense
OF proper upkeep would be assured"
Miss Conley said that she would con-
sent to no plan which did not provide
absolutely that the graves would not
be disturbed. Mr. Anderson said tha-
while the matter has not been formally
considered by the mayor and commits
sloners, they have expressed them
selves as favoring the plan, and that
it will probably be given official con-
slderation within a few days Com
missioner James A. Cable said that he
favored acquisition by the city provid-
ed the price was not too high, and ex-
pressed the opinion that the land
would probably bring $4,000 if sold for
building purposes.
An order was issued by Judge John
G. Pollock in the United States dis
trict court week ago to the effect
that the wooden watch tower in the
cemetery must be torn down by July
20 by the Conley sisters and that if
not removed by that time it is to be
torn down by United States marshal.
