Upton SURPRISED.
English Yachtsman Not Yet Certain
of Course He Will Pursue.

London, Marc 13.-Sir Thomas
Upton, challenger for the Americas
cup, expressed the greatest surprise
this morning when informed that the
New York yacht club had declined his
challenge because it did not comply
with the condition of the deed of gift.
Neither Sir Thomas nor the Royal
Ulster Yacht club has yet been Off
cially notified of the rejection of the
challenge. Sir Thomas said he had
not had time to consider whether he
would amend the conditions of his
challenge so as to meet the objections
of the New York yachtsmen. He ex-
poets, however, to confer with his de-
signer Nicholson, of Gosport, on the
subject Immediately.
Sir Thomas, of course, fully recog-
nizes the right of the New York Yacht
club to decline his challenge because
of the stipulation that the defending
Yacht must be of the same size as the
challenger. Nevertheless. he is great
Nv disappointed, as he fully expected
that the challenge would be accepted

TEN new BOARDS.
Were Created by Legislature But 100
r.-s.- Offices Abolished.

Ten new boards were created by
the legislature just closed. Some OF
these boards are self-supporting, but
offices for some 35 or 40 people are fur
nished by the new jobs which the
Democrats have established by legisla-
tive enactment.
The new boards created at this ses-
sion were:
Board of correction.
Osteopathic board
BARRIERS board.
State textbook commission
Chiropractic board.
Registration board for trained nurses.
Educational administration board.
Irrigation board.
Board of fair managers.
Hotel commission.
Some of those are very nice. pleas
ant and well paying jobs. For in
stance the three members of the edu-
cational administration board eacn
draw a So, 500 annual salary. The hotel
commissioner gets $4,000 year and MS
assistant $500. But it is figured that
this department will be self-supporting.
At least no appropriation is made for
the department. Board of correction
members-three of them-each receive
81, 200 a year. Members of other boards
created draw a per diem.
Killed Off Oil Inspectors.
Yet for the ten new boards created,
the Democrats at one fell swoop re-
moved three times as many men from
the state pay roll as will find Office
under all of the new jobs. That was
when the legislature voted to put the
1875 deputy oil inspectors out of bust
ness and put eight competent men in
charge of the oil inspection work of
the state.
But in addition to the new boards
several very agreeable offices were ere
ated by legislative enactment. One of
them is the fire marshal, who draws
50 900 salary with an assistant at 81,
500 Another is the moving picture
censor, who should be able to realize
a neat income from the fees for in
spection of motion picture films.
One of the old standard per diem
jobs that has gone out of business with
this session of the legislature, however,
is the board of regents of the edu
cational institutions. The Is men and
women who will serve as regents of the
three big educational institutions until
July i, will be replaced by the three
members of the educational board who
will have charge of all of the func
tions. PERFORMED by the regents in for
mer years.
So with the creation of places for
some 40 new employees, the legisla-
ture has put out of business some $50
men and women who in former years
have drawn a paycheck from the state.

NORTH SIDE NEWS
Over Supply of Apples on
Hands of Farmers.
Large Stocks Cause Depression
in Market.

The farmers of northern Shawnee
county have an over supply OF apples
on hand. d. De Backer, of North
Kansas avenue, has 5000 bushels in
cold storage. Will Stock of Fatrview,
has 5000 bushels and Mr.. Taylor, of
Granville, 500 bushels. The small
farmers have all the way from one
to fifty bushels in storage. Last fall a
number of the larger grocery stores
bought apples directly from the or
chardS and put them in cold storage
so that there is no market for the tar-
mers' apples in the stores. The COM
mission men stored their own apples
and there is no market there Tor the
farmers. The farmers who have a
big supply say that peddling does not
pay them, although they can sell one
bushel half as cheap as do the mer-
chants. The only market which seems
to be open for the sale of apples is in
the south. The north, east and west
had the largest apple crop on record
Last year at this time, the best ap-
pies were selling for 75c per bushel,
where they now sell for 40 cents.
