diate shipment of $4,000 blankets to

The men were in heavy marching or
der.
All on the Move.
Washington, March Still under
guise of peaceful maneuvers, the ad-
vance of the army toward the south
proceeding in perfect order.
1nnumerable kilograms are being
received by General Leonard Wood,
chief of staff, reporting that his sud
den orders flashed from the capital
only three days ago are being carried
out with rapid1ty and precision. The
staff officers, having set the machinery
in motion, are enjoying a respite to-
day. The telegraphic advices indicate
that all of the men ordered out are
now moving rapidly southwark with
ample commissary and ammunition
supplies.
Captain Johnson Haygood, of the
coast artillery and a member of the
general staff, has been ordered to San
Antonio. Texas, to join the staff of
Major General Carter, commander of
the army division which is being con-
centrated at that point.
The navy, like the other arm of the
fighting establishment is carrying out
its part of the operations without any
semblance of a hitch. The vessels OF
the fifth division of the Atlantic fleet
have been supplied with their COM
plements and are prepared to sail for
Guantanamo at the word of the secre-
tary of the navy.
The real purpose of the unprece-
dented movement of soldiers, sailors
and marines is still enshrouded in
mystery.
Official Washington persists in the
announcements that the movement is
a technical military experiment and
that it has no relation to the Mexican
situation.

q message TO the Legislature announC-
ing the veto of the mortgage registra-
ton bill.
Following is his message:
Topeka, March 9, 1911.
ITO the House of Representatives:
''I respectfully return to your honor
able body without my approval Sen
ate bill No. 1876. entitled:
IAN act providing for a registra-
ton fee on mortgages CT real prop
erty and for their exemption from tax
alton after being recorded, regulating
the effect of non-payment of regiStra-
tion fees and prohibiting the enforce
ment of mortgages upon Which regis
tration fees have not been paid as
herein provided, and repeating all acts
and parts of acts in conflict herewith
THE man who owns a mortgage
owns property that is a better and
safer investment than land itself and
pays a higher rate of interest without
labor or effort on the part of the
owner
81 can not believe it is wise or just
for me to strike from the tax rolls
of this state fifty-seven million dollars
of the best and safest interest bearing
property in Kansas which now pays
annually into the state treasury more
than one-half million dollars in taxes.
The argume lent that this law would re-
duce the rates of interest is wholly
disproVen by the experience of Cali
sofa and other states. After an eX-
haustive investigation of the subject
am satisfied that this law would in
crease the rates of interest in Kansas
and make money more difficult to Sc
cure.
Il recommend that this bill be
amended so that a recording fee be
charged all mortgages recorded in
Kansas and that every mortgage which
pays a tax in Kansas be credited with
the amount paid for recording fee. This
amendment would bring into our treas
ury several hundred thousand dollars
additional money and would not dis
criminate between the citizen whose
money is invested in mortgages IN
Kansas and the one whose money Is
invested in f. rm lands, resident prop
erty in cities, notes, grain, live stock
or other forms of property.
| Respectfully submitted
wv. R. STUBBS.''
| A veto of the voting machine bill
was also sent in. 1t follows:
Topeka, March 9, 1911.
To the House of Representatives:
I return herewith senate bill No.
134 without my approval. The bill
is entitled:
AN act to enable counties, town
shipa and cities to purchase and use
voting machines at all general, special
and primary elections; providing for
the payment thereof; creating a Kan
! sas state voting machine commission
and prescribing its compensation, dur
ties and powers; esta blishing rules for
the care and use of voting machines;
providing for election boards of three
members in certain cases; repeating
chapter 1S4 of the session laws of
1901 and all acts and parts of acts
relating to the use of voting machines
and suspending the operation of all
laws and parts of laws when incon-
sistent with the provisions of this
act"
] recommend that you exclude from
the provisions of this bill all town

plete without one Irish hunter, at
least. Steeple chasing was the nat
ural race of such a country and it
was run to perfection on the Cur
ragh where even royalty entered
horses for the more important events.
"Macushla" tells an exciting story Of
a fine mare, the last of the racing
string of the Fitzgerald family, being
entered for this celebrated steeple
chase in the hope that the winnings
will free the ancestral estates from
debt. Sir Brian Fitzgerald, the part
played by Mr.. Olcott, is a young bar
onet who has come from his Ameri-
can plantation to take possession Of
the estates he has inherited and his
efforts to life the encumbrances form
much of the interesting theme of the
romance. It is needless to say, that
after many handicaps, Macushla. for
such Is the mares name, wins the
race and the estate is saved from the
auctioneer's hammer. Love creeps
into the story, too, for what Irish
romance could be complete If Cupid
were not in evidence. Sir Brian finds
his childhood playmate and despite
the fact that she is only the daughter
of servant on the estate, offers her
his heart and hand, and makes her
Lady Fitzgerald. Manager Pitou has
provided "Macushla" with some ex-
quisitely beautiful stage settings,
particularly those of the first and last
acts, and there Is a company Of rare
excellence in Mr. Olcott's support.
