Receivers of the Kansas City. Mexico &
Orient Railway company will be asked -
recommend that the general offices OF
the company be moved from Kansas City
to Wichita. Argument to back up this
request that will be made to the receivers
in a few days is contained in the state
ment that the present general offices are
located in a city not touched by Orient
lines. while if they are located in Wich-
tia the offices will be in direct touch with
not only the operation but the traffic de-
partmentS of the road. Wichita is the

Other Items of General Interest

Effective the last day of this month,
the railroads Nth headquarters in To
peka, announce that they will adopt in
addition to their regular rules the in
terstate commerce commission regula-
tions for the transportation of dan
gerous articles and explosives
These regulations have been forward
ed to the railroad headquarters of the
Santa Fe and Rock Island in Topeka
and distributed over the systems from
this city. The rules really are nothing
more than the regulations adopted by
the American Railway association sew
eral years ago but now that the in
terState commerce commission has been
awakened to the fact that there is merit
in them, the railroads have Joined
hands gladly.
The fact that heavy penalties have
been fixed to be applied to the shipper
and the carrier who disregard the rules
of packing and shipping dangerous ar
ticles and explosives, has attracted at
tention in railway circles.
Must Mark Packages.
Sections 2S5 and 236 of the act of
March 4, 1909, require the shipper of
dangerous articles to describe and mark
his packages properly and to inform
the agent of the carrier of the true
character of their contents. Heavy
PENALTIES are PROVIDED Tor the shipper
who knowingly SoicftS the tranSporta-
ton of dangerous articles without
complying with these requirements, as
well as for the carrier that knowingly
transport them.
To promote the uniform enforcement
of law and to minimize the dangers
to life and property incident to the
transportation by land in interstate
commerce of dangerous articles other
than explosives, the regulations are
prescribed to define these articles for
freight transportation purposes, to state
the precautions that must be observed
by the shipper in preparing them for
shipment, and by the carrier in hand
ling them while in transit. 1t is the
duty of each such carrier to make the
prescribed regulations effective and to
thoroughly instruct its employees. and
of shippers to properly acquafnt them
selves Herewith.
Specifications as to containers meth
DDS of packing for shipment, ETC., will
be considered and prescribed from
time to time. Orders prescribing such
specifications will be given effective
dates as conditions and Investigations
may appear to warrant.
The bureau for the safe transpor-
tat1on of explosives and other danger
Gus articles, maintained by the rail-
ways under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Railway association, is an efficient
bureau in charge of an expert chief
inspector. This bureau will make in
spections and conduct Investigations
and will confer with manufacturers and
shippers with a view to determining
what specifications and regulations will
within reasonable limits afford the
highest degree of safety in packing and
preparing these dangerous articles for
shipment.

Willard S. Nichols, Wealthy Banker of
Colorado Springs, Lived Here.

Willard s. Nichols, who died last
week in Colorado Springs, came to To
peka in 1857 and lived on the farm
Immediately south of Washburn college
Colorado Springs paper prints the
following notice of his death:
Willard S. Nichols, a wealthy and
prominent pioneer banking and mining
man of this city, died suddenly OF
paralysis of the heart at 6:15 O'Clock
last evening as he lay on a couch in
Nevada avenue. Mr.. Nichols, who was
73 years of age, had been feeling I'M
usually well, and news of his sudden
death came as great shock to his
many friends.
Surviving Mr.. Nichols are his wife,
Mrs. Harriet L. Nichols; a daughter,
Miss Louie Nichols and two sons, John
L. Nichols, a bookkeeper at the Elk
change National bank, and Frank w.
Nichols of Denver. The funeral pro-
badly will be held from the residence

neers. He came from Topeka. Kan,
where he was one of the earliest set
tiers, in the early '70s and in 1873 took
up a homestead at Summit park, near
Woodland park. In 1875 he married

ing here Mr.. Nichols engaged in the
wholesale grocery business in which he
continued until 1901 He became in
terested in the development of the Grip
pie Creek gold camp and grubstaked
many prospectors in the early days of
the camp. The Mary Mckinney, in

one of the largest mines of the dis
trict. For the last 20 years Mr. Mich
OILS had been interested in the banking
business in this city He was one of
the organizers of the Colorado Savings
bank.
Mr. Nichols was a man whose ster-
ling worth of characters cannot be
overestimated; man of strong friend
ships and with broad civic ideals. His
fund of general information was almost
inexhaustible, he having been a great
student of literature and current af-
fairs since his retirement from active
business

HYDRAULIC DUMPING POST.
French sHeutoir' Will Hold Train at
High Speed.

The Orleans railway has recently
installed in it's station at Tours,
France a hydraulic heutoir, or bump
ing post, which looks something like
coast defense guns The Revue Cen
cradle des Chemins de Fer says, sit is
analogous to hydraulic brakes en-
ployed for killing the recoil of can
mons or the shock of wings of turn
ing bridges of large dimensions and
apid evolutions.' 1t will absorb the
force of train of 400 tons moving at
16 kilometers an hour. In tests made
with a train of . cars loaded with
coal at speeds up to over 10 kilometers
an hour, the load was shifted in the
cars with slight damage to the cars
the loads being above the line of the
shock. The bumper was not damaged,
nor the locomotive and the engineer
felt only shock mot presenting for
him any danger"

Although believing it was possible
that r. f. Wells had left the salt

that Judge Jones wronged Gen. Hamp-

ton with stamping out independent

what Irby said of your fellow towns
man, John Gary Evans" He read from

including traitor" liar" and several
other terms of like severity. He did
not say when or in what circumstances
this Language was used by the late
Senator Irby.
Gov. Blease read an editorial printed
in the Charleston News and Courier OF
April II, last, in which the methods
employed by the Atlanta detective en-
ga ged in the Beach case at Aiken by
Solicitor Gunter and Mayor Gyles

The speaker declared Jones would

would not make "that man" governor

nor in reality.

everything they could to get him TO

never find Ben Tillman lined up with

if you take the niger out of my
speech there is nothing but froth left,
but found out today that if you take

Judge Jones, the governor said, has
not told him because he was afraid
"Gonzales" would take him out and
spank him, whether or not he would
order out the militia to defend negro
"who laid his hands on white Wo-
man."
Sarcastically referring to the sup
port of Judge Jones candidacy by

'Tis music around on Jones' mound"
Replying to Judge Jones declara-
ton that specified persons, formerly
LEGISLATORS from this county, had
voted with Jones on the separate
coach bills, the speaker said that all
of these were dead. but one, Stanyarne
Wilson, "and he,'' said the governor,
"is quietly sleeping in private life. I'm
satisfied if he were here he would say
he was sorry he voted that way
The governor declared that the men
who earn their bread by the sweat OF
their faces would reflect him because
he was the one governor whom the
newspapers could not control.
Long continued applause broke out
as the governor retired. His, speech
was the last of the day.

Jones, that it is easy to commit crime

Speaking of the pardon of John
Black, he exclaimed: "No State can
stand for such Endorsement of graft
