MUST HAVE HIGHWAY ENGINEERS
Attorney General Dawson Says Kan
cas- Counties are Obliged by Law
to Appoint Read Experts.

Topeka, June $40 prevent the
wasting OF the money of the people in
the Kansas counties where improved
road work is to be carried on this year
a county engineer must be appointed
to supervise the work. If the, county
surveyor is not competent to handle
the work or has too much work to do
an additional engineer is to be Sc
lected.
John s. Dawson. attorney general, in
an opinion regarding the appointment
of county engineers, holds that every
county must have an engineer before
road work can be done and before
money collected as taxes for special
road building can be spent.
There are about 30 counties in the
state which have voted money for
good roads, varying in amounts from
$4,000 to $4,000 for the year.

LIKE THE ELSIE SIEGEL CASE
CHINESE BEING WATCHED FOR
MISSING CHICAGO GIRL.
Chain Of Dives Covering Entire coun-
try and Owned by orientals,
10 Discovered.

Chicago, June 1.-The existence OF
a chain of resorts, managed by white
women and peopled with white girls,
which depend upon the Chinese Of the
various cities OF the country for their
patronage, was one OF the startling
disclosures made in the police in
vestigation of the disappearance Of
Catherine O'Brien, 16 years old, from
the home of her parents here.
Four detectives have been working
on the case since the O'Brien girl was
last seen.
Houses are operated in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, st. Louis, Kan
sas City, Denver. Pueblo, San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles. Seattle, Portland,
Tacoma and in China, according to In
formation cleaned, and although ope-
rated by individuals, are united under
mutual protection and procuring
agreement.
That Catherine O'Brien, who visit
ed the establishment kept by Chinese
in this city, is an inmate, possibly as
a prisoner, of a similar house in some
other city, is the theory upon which
the police are working now.
1t is also possible she may have
shared the fate of Elsie Siegel, daugh-
ter of Gen. Franz Siegel, who was
found murdered in the room Of Q
"christianized" Chinaman in New
York. The slayer has not been cap
tured. Government officials here ad-
mitted the existence Of such chain
Of houses was known to them, and
declared they have been working for
months toward clearing up the con
dltions.

GOMEZ SAYSLET
MARINES LAND
Is Willing for Americans in Cuba to
Guard foreigners.
CUBANS PURSUING INSURGENTS
Rumor of Battle In oriente Cannot be
Contradiction Plant Attacked
But Assailants Driven
Off

Havana, June president Gomez
telegraphed Gen. Monteagudo, the
commander-in-chief of the Cuban
army, who is at the scene Of the
hostilities in the province of oriente,
stating that the general might permit
American marines to land on Cuban
soil to guard foreign property. The
dispatch added that the Cuban forces
then might retire from guarding such
places and devote themselves to pur-
suing the insurgents.
The newspapers during the after
noon published extra editions saying
a fight he'd taken place in Oriente
province and that 100 rebels had been
killed. No confirmation of this story
is ob:ainable from government
sources.
The extras also say that the United
States auxiliary cruiser Prairie has
landed marines at DaiQuird. This lat
ter statement, however, is improbable.
Mine Property Attacked.
Interest in Havana centered on the
question whether the United States
gunboat Paducah would land marines
at Daiquiri to protect the property OF
the Spanish-American Iron company
The American legation received
advices from Daiquiri that the plant
Of the iron company had been at
tackled, but that its assailants were
held in check by 40 guards. who later
were reinforce by 100 other men
This combin force drove off the in
surgents. On the arrival of the Padu-
cab the fighting was over and appar-
emily there was no necessity for ex-
tending the aid of American marines.
Paducah on Watch.
Later in the day Col. M2rti, chief
of staff of the Cuban army, and Lieut..
Col. Consuegra sailed from Santiago
on the gunboat Hatuey for Daiqufri
to explain to the commander of the
Paducah the situation on shore and
to inform him that there was no
necessity for landing American forces.
1t Is understood here, however, that
the Paducah will remain on watch
on DaiQuiri.
A rumOr was current in Havana at
night that the negroes in the capital
intend to rise. but apparently there
was no basis for it. No extraordinary
police protection was ordered.

RICH PLANTER BACKS REVOLT
Cuban Trouble Due to Disappointment
Of Land Owner Over Failure
to Sell to Gomez.

Havana, June 3.--Reports from
Guantanamo intimate strongly that the
rebellion among the Cuban negroes is
backed by Col Jane, a rich planter
owning much land surrounding the
naval station, who has grievance
against the Gomez government. Col.
Jane, it is said, desired to extend his
plantation to Bahia Honda and that to
make this possible he offered to trade
the Cuban government other land in
exchange for the government land that
he wanted, the government to pay him
the difference in value. The govern
ment refused to pay and Col. Jane be-
came angry at the Gomez regime.

Republican National Body Faces Many

Preparations Completed for Opening
Meeting Thursday Morning-Wm.
Barnes, Taft Leader In New
York TO be Present.

Chicago, June 5.--PreparationB are
now completed for the meeting Of the
Republican national committee Thurs
day morning. The body faces tangle
such as, perhaps, never has con-
fronted q national committee OF the
party on the eve Of a convention.
The right of newly chosen commit.
teemen to seats; the question OF open
hearings of the more than 200 dele
gate contests; the prospect OF a fight
70 the finish on the selection OF Sen
ator Elihu Root for temporary chair
man; and the belief that Col. Roose-
welt and his associates will carry
into the convention their fight for the
seating OF their contesting delegates
nre some OF the problems engrossing
the attention of Chairman Harry s.
New and the other members OF the
subcommittee on arrangements.
It IL the belief Of national commit
teemen now in the city that the right
Of r. B. Howell of Nebraska to the
seat now held by Victor Rosewater
will be settled as soon as the COM
mittee meets for organization. The
calling of the roll will bring Mr.. Rose
waters seat into controversy, 1t Is ex-
planned.
Barnes May Hold Proxy.
Roosevelt forces are awaiting the
arrival OF National Committeeman
William l.. Ward of New York, who is
looked on as the prospective leader Of
Roosevelt activities in the national
committee. Reports that William
Barnes. Jr., Taft leader in New York.
might hold proxy In the committee,
further complicated the situation.
Rumors we're current that Rooss-
welt win be on hand before the con-
,xention preliminaries are out of the
way. 1t was asserted by Republican
leaders who arrived from the East
that the colonel expects to be here
not only to take part in convention
proceedings, but to direct the activi-
ties Of the Roosevelt flying wedge"
which is being organized and drilled
eOr propaganda work among the dele
Gates.
New Contests Added.
4 Two new contests and two cases
where the number of delegates ex-
ceeds the allotment, were added to

TO MAKE OCEAN
TRAVEL SAFER
Bill lust introduced Safeguards Lives
Of Liners Passengers.
SUGGESTED BY TITANIC WRECK
Stringent Regulation and Control OF
Wireless Communication One OF
Important Points Embodied
in New Laws.

Washington, June Am all-inclu'
sive bill, to be denominated the
ocean safety act of 1872" designed to
cover all the navigation lessonS drawn
from the Titanic disaster, was intro.
duced by Senator Nelson of Mime
sofa, chairman of the commerce com
mittee, which through subcommit
tee investigated that disaster.
The bill includes stringent regula.
tons for better wireless equipment,
continuously operated on ocean and
Great Lakes vessels carrying 80 OF
more persons, just as provided in Q
bill which has passed the house and
almost Identical with d bill already
passed by the senate. This wireless
section vests control of the apparatus
in the master of the vessel and TO
avoid the wireless communication be.
ing shut off by failure Of the vessels
engines, requires a powerful auxiliary
power supply that can communicate
100 miles at all times.
Recognizes Foreign Laws.
The Nelson bill would recognize
foreign steamship laws whenever they
are as effective as American laws and
regulations: would equip every pas.
senger craft leaving an American port
with sufficient lifeboats to accommo-
date everybody aboard, together with
other safety equipment; and would
create commission of Ave persons to
investigate here and abroad merchant
marine construction. 1t would require
rigid port examination, boat drills,
define qualification Of seamen; PEN
alize failure to assist any person in
distress at sea: and make criminally
liable any master, managing owner,
steamship director or principal resi-
dent agent of a foreign steamship for
sending from an American port yes
sci so unseaworthy as to endanger
life,
No Duty on War Material.
The 100000 provision of the naval
appropriation bill for great wireless
station system is designed to provide
direct control of the American naval
vessels from Washington throughout
all probable spheres of action" and to
maintain the direct communication
with the insular possessions and Alas
ka, despite the possible failure or de-
struction of cables. It is regarded
by the navy department as vital to
national defense.
Free admission of war material
from abroad is urged by the admins
tration, not because any such pur-
chases are now contemplated, but be-
cause the navy department might be
forced to buy abroad in emergency.
The house bill would make it impossi-
BILE for the government to procure
powder If the government factory at
Indian Head, Nd, should be disabled,
and the senate committee corrected
this.
