TO REPAIR TRACKS
Railroads Prepare to Rush
Work in Flood District.
Work for Unemployed Farm
Hands Assured.

New Orleans May 27.-Railroads in
submerged territory north and east of
Melville, are organizing repair gangs
to rush the work of repairing road
beds and bridges damaged by the wa
ters from the Torras, Dog Tail, Panther
Forest and Beulah breaks. The large
demand for labor will be met by a
supply made available by idle farm
hands.
The Texas & Pacific, Southern Pa
cific and the Vicksburg, Shreveport &
Pacific, sustained considerable damage
by the washouts. Section and bridge
gangs probably will be the first to be-
gin repairs. The Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley on the east bank of the Mis-
sissippi was washed out in several

The crevasse at Hymelia, 30 miles
above New Orleans, has widened to
more than $500 feet and is consider
ably wider than the river at that point.
The government forces have been with
drawn, only a few laborers remaining
to load tools and equipment Thou
sands of sightseers visited the crevasse
yesterday.
The army supply departments are
gradually withdrawing from the upper
food districts, the officers directing
their attention to that country north of
Morgan City swept by the Hymelia
and Atchafalaya floods. The supplies
are adequate and inspectors report con-
ditions as excellent.

MIDSUMMER HEAT.
Slight Relief Promised Tonight, Show
ers Likely.

midsummer brand of weather
has been dealt out the past day or two
in Topeka. Slight relief, however, is
expected tonight. Sunday was the hottest
May 26 on record in Topeka, and the
mercury is hovering around the high
mark for May 81.
There has been considerable rain in
North Dakota and other states to the
north and northwest. Generally fair
weather is predicted for tonight and
Tuesday, although Sunny Flora says
there's the possibility of a shower be-
fore night.
The wind is blowing IL miles an hour
from the southwest.
The report of Section Director T. B.
Jennings for the "a hours ending at Z
O'Clock this morning reads:
Most of Kansas has been without
rain during the past two days, but
showers are reported from the extreme
northeastern portion of the state and
from western Missouri. Midsummer
temperatures continue over the dis
trict- There was considerable of cloud
mess reported this morning.

SHOT BY YAFARMER
Dan Blakley, Strawberry Hunt
er, Mistaken for RObber.
A. C. Clark Fills Intruder's Leg
With No. 6 Shot.

Dan Blakley, of Highland Park, was
seriously shot today by a G. Clark,
as he was crossing the Clark farm,
one mile north of Pauline. To the Off
GERS, Clark said that he thought Blak-
ley was a robber. More than 40 No. 6
shot were found in the Highland Park
mans legs.
This morning Blakley started to Pau
line to hunt wild strawberries. Near
Pauline he crossed the Clark farm. He
was walking slowly and keeping a close
look out for berries and said he knew
nothing of trouble until he was shot.
DR.. C. M. Hensley, county physician,
was called but Blakley refused to go to
a hospital and was taken to his home
Clark explained that he saw Blakley
crossing the field and yelled at him
to stop. He said he thought the man
was a robber and somehow Blakleys
sauntering walk didn't appeal to the
farmer. Perhaps Blakley didn't hear
the ruralist tell him to stop. At least
he didn't stop. So Clark used both bar
rels of his gun in a greeting to the
mysterious visitor.
At noon today Clark had not been
arrested. Blakley's condition is not
serious, although the doctors will speno
the greater part of the day picking
shot from his legs.

The President Will Continue
Speaking Until Polls Open.
ONLY SOUTH DAKOTA LEFT
Probably Neither Candidate
Will Visit That State
As Both Claim to Have Enough
without 1t.

Newark, N. J., May 27.-This was
another day of hard riding and fast
talking for President Taft and Col
onel Roosevelt. Tomorrow New Jer-
sey will instruct her 2S delegates to
the national conventions and the last
full day of the primary campaign was
utilized by both candidates to it's last
hour.
teorlike trips of the candidates made
it apparent that the state was at the
crisis of big political battle. The
billboards which stretch for miles
along the railroad lines famed with
political posters.
The newspapers are full of political
advertisements and campaign litera-
ture has been distributed by the ton.
Colonel Roosevelt started from
Oyster Bay early this morning for
what may be his last day of cam
paigning before the national conven-
ton unless he decides to go to South
Dakota. 1t was said the colonel
might visit the latter state if Presi-
dent Taft spoke there, but that the
presidents intentions were unknown.
Colonel Roosevelt's itinerary includ-
ed a number of large towns in the
central part of the state, and tonight
he expects to wind up at Princeton
and speak from a balcony of Prince
ton Inn. The selection OF this roS-
trum, it was said, was due to the re-
fusal of President Hibben of Prince
ton to let any of the university build
ings be used for political meeting
unless nothing derogatory was said
about President Taft, who was the
institutions guest recently at Presi-
dent Hibben's Inauguration.
Mr.. Taft will continue his cam
paign up until the polls open at
o'clock tomorrow. Today he started
from New York, where he spent Sun
day and last night for a tour of the
towns along the Atlantic coast. His
days work will end at Atlantic City,
where he will spend the night.
Governor Wilson will make his last
speech before the primaries tonight
at his home in Princeton. The
woodrow Wilson club of the univer-
sity plans a torchlight parade, which
will march to the governors house
and call him to his front porch.

property, he no longer will object. 1t
is thoroughly appreciated here that the
Cuban president must assume a rather
resentful attitude toward what might
appear to be an invasion of the island,
lest the patriotism of the Cubans be
stirred to resistance.
Should he persist in his objections,
however, American naval commanders
will not remain Indifferent to the de-
mands of Americans for protection
wEere it is clear that the Cuban gov
ernment cannot afford it.
Admiral Osterhaus' fleet, which is due
at Key West Wednesday will not move
at once into Cuban waters unless
something should happen in the mean
time to demand its presence there.
The signal for the disposition of the
ships among Cuban ports will await
it is said the decision of American
Minister Beaupre at Havana. If
however, destroyed telegraphic COM
munication hampers. Mr. Beaupre in
getting inforrna ton as to events in the
eastern. end of the island whore the
disturbances are focused, the state de-
partment will act independently of his
suggestion The prospects of a set
tIement of the Havana dock strike
were reported to be brighter today

Trouble Ahead for Fourth
Street White Way.
City OverIoOks Fact That Plant
Is Too Small.
MILLER ASKS FOR $4,000
But City Commissioners Only
Laugh at Him.
Motion Before Board This
Week Will Decide All.

If the board of city commissioners
vote down a motion which will be pre-
sented by Commissioner Miller at the
next session Thursday morning. the
great white way on East Fourth street
will receive a serious setback. The
Miller motion asks for $4,000 to
make improvements at the municipal
electric light plant. Unless this money
is spent Commissioner Miller declares
the city is in no shape to take on ex-
ira lighting-in other words the East
Fourth white way.
The city commissioners are con-
fronted with the proposition of either
spending $4,000 for electric light i'm
provements or refuse to grant the pc
Fourth for great white way from
Kansas avenue to the Santa Fe tracks
at Holiday street.
The Miller proposal will fall like
a thunderbolt on the other members OIL
the commission. The Fourth street
white way has been accepted as GER
tainty and the city engineer and SUI
perintendent of the city electric light
fications. No one dreamed that
Commissioner Miller had a surprise
package awaiting the improvement
plans. And Miller is firm.
Laugh at MiIler's Plans.
The other city commissioners take
the Miller threat as a joke. They re-
fuse to listen to his request for $12,-
900. They laughed when he mention
ed it-and they probably will laugh
Thursday morning at the Miller mo-
ton. From appearances, however. 1T
looks as though Miller will be the last
man to laugh-and he will smile long
and loud if the commissioners do not
vote him $4,000.
From reports on the municipal cleo
trio light plant-the equipment is not
complete to handle another special
lighting system. When the Kansas
avenue white way was contemplated
the city thought at some length before
they granted permission. Commission
er Miller says the plant can furnish
current to light the lights but in this
event no other new street light could
be installed in the city this year-nor
any year until improvements were
made.
1--WE must have another unit" ex-
planned Mr.. Miller "If we took on
the Fourth street proposition, we
could not fill the wants of persons all
over the city in the residence districts.
And If our power failed we would
have nothing to fall back on-we
would have to allow the city to re-
main in darkness until we could make
repairs. Another unit at cost OF
about $12, 900 would help us in case of
emergency.
"When we granted the Kansas ave-
nue. white way last year the commits
sioners agreed to give us $4,000 in
case another extension was made. The
commissioners seem to have forgot
ten this. But the law says can have
the money under the special lighting
levy-and we must have 1t If the East
Fourth street extension is granted"

STUBBS EXPLAINS 1T.
Tells Why He Wants to Put Candi-
dates on Record.

Governor Stubs had not heard from
Senator Curtis up to noon today in
regard to his proposition that all the
United States senatorial candidates
agree to abide by the result of the pri-
mary election. In explanation of his
proposition, the governor said: at is
simply a matter CT agreeing to abide
by the vote of the people at the August
primary and give Kansas direct vote
on senator this year instead of waiting
until the states ratify the congression-
al action in this matter. If the candi-
dates agree to this, then they will be
barred by their own action from ap-
pealing to the legislature over the vote
of the people in August. Under the
present Kansas law the legislature
elects the senator. 1t is only morally
bound by the choice of the August pri-
mary Four years ago Senator Long
did not appeal from the August ver-
dict thai went against him, and Bris-
tow, the winner in August, was for
mally ratified by the next session of
the legislature. But I hope that this
year the matter will be settled ahead
of time and it make sure chat the
choice of the people will be- the final
chOice.''

June fst.

Kansas pro rata of this increase in it's
capital stock.
Some time ago the board tried to col
iect from the Frisco@on fifty millions
valuation, but the supreme court held
that the Frisco had been admitted to
do business in Kansas under the old
charter law and was exempt from fees
But the court intimated rather plainly
at the same time that if the Frisco
ever increased its valuation that it
would have to pay fees on the increase
The increase has now been made and
the charter board will decide this week
what to do about getting the states
