Texas for property loss; and under this
bill it is proposed not only to allow
these claimants to reinstate their
claims, but it is proposed that the
government shall assume the burden OF
proof, of showing that the amount of
property which was taken away was
not correctly found by the secretary
of the interior in his investigation. You
are not only going to allow these at
torneys and claim agents to make the
claims lawful which were unlawful at
the time they filed them, but you are
going to preclude the government from
its right to show what the actual dam

And so I conclude, Mr.. Chairman.
that instead of this being q bill to do
equity, it is a bill to favor a certain
lot Of claim agents and attorneys who
presented these claims a quarter or hall
century ago, who were defeated then,
and who now propose, by the help Of
this congress, to be reimbursed for
their trouble then. and to be paid their
attorneys fees for prosecuting these

TWO DIE AT LEAVENWORTH.
Negro Soldier Takes POison-WeH
Known Man browns Self.

Leavenworth, Kan, April 15.-Jacob
Filling, well known Leavenworth man,
committed suicide here by jumping
from the terminal bridge into the Mis-
souri, river.
Filling left his home apparently in
good spirits earlier in the morning.
Shortly before noon he walked up to
the toll office at this end of the bridge
and purchased a ticket He walked
out to the center of the structure, took
off his coat and climbed upon the rail-
ing. There he paused for moment to
wave his hat two or three times, then
he leaped into the river on the south
side of the bridge. He was drowned.
At almost the same time that Filling
was ending his earthly existence by
jumping into the river, Mack Tomlin,
a colored soldier in the army service
school detachment, committed suicide
by drinking carbolic acid. He left
note saying he was in trouble land
couldn't get out" Investigation by
Colonel Davis disclosed the fact that
Tomlin had been entrusted by an Off
Ger with some clothes to be repaired.
When he was asked to return the
garments he was unable to do so, hav-
ing sold them. Rather than face a
trial he took his own life.

MENINGITIS KILLS THREE.
state Officers Will BE Asked to Tell
Cause of Death.

Leroy Kan, April 15.-Three
deaths have occurred in Leroy in the
past two days from unusual causes
and strange surroundings The first
was that of Andy Slagel, age 40 who
died on April IL; the second was the
death of William Baldwin, age 3S. on
April IL, and the third was Saturday,
when Oscar Wright succumbed.
The last named is a young man
about % years old. The local physi-
clans are at a loss to explain the
deaths, although they are agreed that
symptoms may be those of spinal
meningitis.
All three of the men were employ
ed on the Missouri Pacific coal chutes
at this place. Slagel was sick thirty
six hours, Baldwin about the same
and Wright was sick about twenty
two hours. A section of the spinal
cord and a kidney were taken from
the body of William Baldwin and sent
to the state bacteriOlogist at Tokepa
for examination. Baldwin had been
suffering from an injury received in
his back some time ago when a lump
of coal fell on him. One doctor pro-
nounced his death as being caused
by uremic poisoning.

HIS DAUGHTER TO BLAME.
Girl Only Is EIopes, Gives Age as rs
Years

Stevens, Kan, April 15.-Angry in
deed was j. c. Caldwell of this city
when he learned of the elopeTnent of
his daughter Edna with Mr.. Walter
Floyd of Dermot, Kansas. Edna is
only 15 years old and neither of her
parents had consented to Floyd s
courtship. When the daughter disap-
peared Mr.. Caldwell learned the truth
and proceeded to Santa Fe, where he
yociferously declared that he would
have both Floyd and Probate Judge
Friend arrested and prosecuted to the
full extent of the law as the girl was
under age.
A little closer investigation, how
ever, disclosed a peculiar feature of
the case that caused parental love to
cool his wrath. Edna had deceived
both the probate judge and her f1ance
as to her ago till after the ceremony.
Mr. Caldwell swallowed his pill of Bit
terness and returned home.

Who Made The Error =?

There is small cannon mounted
at the northeast entrance OF the War
Department, trophy Of the RevOlu-
tion, which has inscribed upon the
plate OF its Jrunnion the following:
Captured at Yorktown, 1775." What
Is remarkable about this error-for
Yorktown was not captured until
l7Sl-is this: that for half score OF
years this little gun has stood at the
door through which have passed
more officers OF the Army and Navy
than any other door 10 The c0untry;
for it is the most frequented entrance
Tn the building. Yet in all that time.
nnne uf them have detected the error.
Aunther claim To distinction held by
the lutte gun is that IL was undoubt-
edly the first cannon ever captured
by the United States, having been
taken by Benedict Arnold 10 the at
tack on st. Johns, Canada, during
his expedition iG 1775. Though un-
placed 10 its position as the
first trophy to be seen by a visitor to
the Temple OF the War God. it is a
post Of honor TO which its history
well entities it.
