He has lived in Kansas for forty years
and was one time chief justice of the
supreme court. He is a Marion county
product and is close friend of Hen
derson Martin. He is being boosted in
Topeka today by Taylor Riddle of Mar
ion, a power of Democratic state poll
tics.
1t is stated without a doubt today
that Judge DOster will make his an
nouncement in few days. Despite
Henderson Martins declaration that
he will refrain from supporting any
candidate for the sena atorial garb, there
is no doubt that Judge Doster will meet
with Martins approval. The Fourth
district Will make a great fight for the
TOpekan.
Henderson Martins Statement.
The statement made today by Hem
derson Martin reads:
"A Topeka morning paper contain
ed column article yesterday that is
about as near the truth as it general
iy reaches. 1t alleged that members
OF the public utilities commission in
tended to try and seize about all the
places on the next Democratic ticket.
According to this article, 1 am to be
candidate for United States senator.
Judge Helm, our commerce counsel,
is to be a candidate for attorney gen.
eral; Mr.. FEEDER, our secretary, is to be
a candidate for state printer.
am authorized by Judge Helm
dnC MT. FeQer to say that under no
circumstances will they become can
didateS for the offices named, or for
any other office.
Although L had determined several
weeks ago that L would not be a can
didate for United States senator, it was
not my purpose to discuss the matter
until some time later on. The paper
referred to has been SO unfair and so
untruthful concerning the administra-
ton that L am not willing to permit it
to use my name, or the names of any
members of our board, for the sole pur-
pose of trying to stir up strife and dis
content in the Democratic party 1t is
evident that the entire article is for
that sole purpose.
The office of United States senator,
and especially from our splendid state
is the highest office in the gift of the
people, with the exception of the presi-
dent, but it is a rich mans job-and L
am not a rich man. AS chairman of
the utilities commission feel that our
board can and is doing a great service
Tor the people of our state.
Il am deeply interested in all that per-
ta1ns to the welfare of Kansas and L
doubt whether it is possible for any other
service to Kansas than the public utilities
commission. This is further reason
why L shall not be candidate for United
states senator. 1 shall not take sides
between the distinguished Democrats who
intend to contest for the nomina ton for
that office, and
Il voice the sentiments of Judge Helm
and our secretary when 1 say that neither
OF these gentlemen will take sides in the
contest for the candidacy for United
States senator. When 1 leave my present
place it is my intention to resume the
practice OF law. H. S. MARTIN"

The graceful Shakespearian exit of

afternoon by a bomb-like announce

his proposed candidacy for the United

vision in the constitution which pre-
vents the final passage of an amend
ment to the constitution and laws on
the same day as introduced, except by
unanimous consent. The first intima-
tion that there would be such objection
TO unanimous consideration to the
amendment of the constitution came
this morning when G.. H. Lamb filed a
protest against its consideration today.
Mr.. Lamb, however, agreed to with
draw this objection if there was
strong sentiment in favor of the
amendment. There was no doubt of
the strong sentiment in favor of the
admission of women, and if the session
is held over until tomorrow 1t will cost
the grand lodge $1,000, and there will
be no change in the result.
This special session of the grand
lodge of the A. o. U. w. of Kansas is
going to amend its laws and constitu-
tion so as to admit women into. the
order. 1t may not be done today, but
it will be done before this special grand

IT IS UP TO 81.
This Is Warmest Day Since Early in
September.

Kansas came as near suffering from
the heat today and Thursday as the
state did the first of September but
Frosty Flora promises cool weather
for tomorrow. The weather man even
went as far as to say that overcoats
will not be uncomfortable. Today was
9 degrees above normal with the wind
blowing 10 miles an hour from the
south. Tomorrow will be partly
cloudy with a slight chance of rain.
Mr. Flora believes that the present
fall will surpass this season in pre-
vious years. Very little more warm
weather is predicted.

For and Against the Report.

This report started the fight. 1t was
signed by two of the members of the
good of the order committee, Hugh p
Farrelly of Chanute, and Fred Bell
of Wichita. George K. Ratliff, the
third member of the committee whose
lodge, Parsons lodge No. 1, instruct
ed against the amendment, brought in
a minority report against the admis-
sion of women. The lineup for the
big battle which was started by the re-
port of the committee, developed the
leaders. There will be many strong lead
ers in the ranks of the women, and
among these will be Hugh Farrelly,

With the establishment of through

Violation of Law.
That made It a violation of the law.
The manufacturers of the oleo protest
ed their innocence and good faith. The
department believed them. They had
sold the yellow oleo at a price that
didn't contemplate payment of the
other 924 cents tax: II 1t were imposed,
they would have to dig up from s1,000, ,O0J
to s1.y00. .OO0 of back revenue taxes;
moreover, some people who didn't think
they were necessarily so innocent,
wanted them prosecuted, and Judge
Lands got busy with his grand jury
as soon as he heard OF it. 1t looked
both expensive and dangerous.
The Treasury has been nefotiatins
for a compromise of the law. 1t is un-
derstood that this compromise looks
TO taking about 100000 instead of the
81, 10000 or more that Is due under a
strict construction.
Some Of the Congressional investiga-
tors, learning of this pending compro-
mise, have decided that 1t will hot do.
They don't believe the oleo people are
SO innocent as they claim anyhow they
want to be sure of 1t. The compromise
Of the tax affair has been held up, and
in few days a searching inquiry will
be started. it is not yet certain by what
committee.
The oleo tax law has been, of all the
measures committed to the Treasury,
the most difficult to enforce. With but
ter SO costly as now, multitudes of
people want a substitute. They prefer
1t to look like butter. .Unscrupulous
dealers want to accommodate-and fire.
quently to deceive-them. Here is the
favorite way:
|. Ways of Retailers.
A storekeeper buys a firkin of COL
ored oleo. which has paid the 1o-cent
tax; also. say. ten firkins Of uncoiored.
which has paid one-fourth cent tax He
puts them in his cellar. A small pack
age Of coloring matter does the rest; he
colors up the uncolored stuff. sells-it to
customers as colored. and when an in
ternal revenue agent comes along to
ask about, 1t, the storekeeper says:
'Oh. that elored oleo I've been selling
came out Of the firkin of colored stuff
Go and see
And there's no way to disprove the
statement The inspector may know to
a moral certainty that the storekeeper
lies; but he must actually see the
coloring matter put in, or the proof isn't
sufficient. The law gives no power to
break into places, and in actual effect,
1t can't be enforced.
Secretary MacVeagh in his report last
year declared this oleo law had made
more crooks than other on the books
1t has been proposed to repeal the dis
eliminating tax. and substitute q
straight internal revenue tax OF cents
per pound; require internal revenue
stamps on every package of oleo; and
let ii be sold under that tax whether
1t be colored or uncolored. 1t is calcu-
lated that this would stop frauds. and
produce about s2.e00.0o6 more revenue
than Is now produced.

WOMAN'S CHARGES
MAY FORCE PROBE
Alleged Abuse of Crow Indians
Startling in Char
acter.

That the charges made by Mrs. Helen
Pierce Gray concerning abuses on the
Crow Indian reservation in Montana
are going to lead to a sharp contro-
versy in the Senate Indian Committee
has become clear.
Senator Townsend, of Michigan, who
introduced the resolution to- turn the
charges over to the Attorney General
for an investigation, is determined to
press the matter and insist on a probe
Of the facts.
Mrs. Gray's charges are startling in
character. They allege the Indians are
being robbed and despoiled and this
with the connivance Of the Interior De-
partment- 1t is the position of Senator
Townsend that an Investigation should
be made, and no counter attacks on
Mrs. Gray should be permitted to OBJ
scure the real question.
