ing up for the office of United States
senator

The House case seems to be sticking
just now in the effort to secure a JUS
tice of the peace mot unfriendly to
the law There is another difficulty
in the way. 1t does not seem to be
known in just what county this al
legged offense was committed. In that
event, it might be difficult to find a
justice of the peace who had juris-
diction, unless the governor instructs
the attorney general to go through all
of the counties and see if he can find
a justice who will fit the crime.
If the proper justice should not be
secured and he should undertake to
imprison J. r. H. for contempt of
court, the Man Who Refuses to An
swer might possibly have case Of
damages for false imprisonment, and
then, too. if he were in prison, there
seem to be a whole lot of judges who
might release him from durance vile
1t is said that a district judge or
probate judge or most any kind of
judge might get him out of jail, so
upon the whole, there seems to be
more chances for getting House out of
Jail after he gets in, if he does get in.
Now comes Mr.. House today, and in
an interview printed in this paper,
breaks that silence to the public which
he would not break to the inquisitors-
He declares that his offense is not civil,
but political, and that the governor
wants to punish him. Think Of the
governors wanting to punish a mem
Der of the staff of Mr.. Capper's IN
surgent daily organ! He declares that
he neither wants to break a law, or
b1-aaI faith and in 60 that
the governor takes the position that he
is breaking one, and win have to break
the other His position must be admit
ted to be rather solid when he states
that it is based upon the foundation
that he will not permit abuse or con-
demnation to affect his ideas of the
right Mr.. House is a cold water man
evidently, for he says he has thrown
much of it upon Governor Stubs de-
sire to be United States senator, so
much that this fervent desire has siz-
zled when J. f. H. squirted it.
Coming from a member of the staff
of the paper with which he is con
nected, it must be admitted that he is
rather severe upon the governor when
he intimates that he may reveal to
the voters of Kansas the real nature
of the skin game that is being put over
on them in the name of reform 1 shall not
murmur at the length of it, whether that
be months or years If the discussion
which will inevitably result serves to ze-
veal the futility, the utter insincerity. the
hypocrisy and the entirely selfish mo-
tives of the present reform administra-

chance to be the humble instrument by
which the bluffing, bulldozing, grand

POTASH FROM SEAWEED-
The department of agriculture has an
nounced that solution of the potash
supply question is 10 be found In the eN-
traction of potash salts from the seaWeed
of the Pacific ocean. This seaweed IL
seems, itself extracts the salts from the
water of the sea. Analysis has shown
that the matured weed contains from %

chloride. 1t is estimated that about
100000 tons OF potash can be produced
annually in this way, to be sold at about
$40 the ton.
We suppose that the department OF.
agriculture knows what IL is talking
about. bat we are not very enthusiastic
over the proposition just now. II Is evil

machinery for extracting the salts and
other costly apparatus must be prepared

Besides these men, there are eighteen
additional murderers now in the death
cells of Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton
prisons who must shortly pay the death
penalty unless now trials are ordered
by the highest court of the state,
The eight doomed men all are guilty
of crimes which at the time Of their
preparation excited wide interest. Five

are Italians, who. with robbery in view.

husband. One stabbed her to death as
she was being held by the others. The
sixth member of the gang, Santo Zanzo
already has paid the death penalty, II
having been established that he &C
tually did the stabbing. He was ex-
ecuted on July last.
The three men who complete the list
of doomed are: Joseph Ferrone, also an
Italian, who murdered his wife in New
York city on October "a last by cutting
her throat; John w. Collins, a negro,
who on July /, 1911, shot and killed Po

and John Matuszewski, who shot Po-
liceman Charles Schaeffer. of Buffalo,
on September II last
Seven Of these men are in Sing Sing,
and, according to officials Of the state

They probably will be killed on Mon
day.
KarusZewski, who is awaiting his
end at Auburn prison, will be executed

TECHS PLEA FOR
$4,000 IGNORED
House Refuses Appropriation
for Heating PIant-Schoops
Friends DiSpIeased.

The house, not to be swerved from
Its strait and narrow path of economy,
has turned down the $4,000 appropria-
ton of the Georgia School Of Technol-
ogy, of which the institution stands
woefully in need.
The Tech proposed to raise $4,000 by
its own efforts, if the state would pro-
vide the $4,000, but as the state has
refused, the matter is all off unless the
house can be persuaded to reconsider
Its refusal to come across
The Tech needs additional heating
apparatus The outfit it now has ut
terly is inadequate. AS the matter now
stands it is impossible to use some of
the class rooms in very cold weather,
and the faculty is forced to abandon
them for days at time
Last year Tech, which is one of the
foremost institutions of its kind in the
country, spent for new buildings and
equipment something like $15O00O. and
rs per cent of the money came from
sources outside the state of Georgia.
Inc friends of Tech are saying that,
inasmuch as the school does so much
for itself and obtains so much outside
help, the state of Georgia, which owns
the school and stamps it with the seal
of its proprietorship might help along
little more than it does.
The house will be asked to reconsid-
er the bill and friends of the school are
hopeful that the appropriation yet may
be made.
