TAX ON TOBACCO
Use Revenue to Build National
Highways, Says j. M. Miller.
National Old Trails Association
Elects New Officers.

Kansas City, April 3O.-A tax on to-
bacco to raise a fund to build national
roads was advocated by former Con-
gressman J. NJ. Miller, of Council
Grove, Kan, at the night session of the
convention of the National Old Trails
association here.
In support of the suggestion that
the Panama canal machinery be used
to build roads, Mr.. Miller said:
''The building of the Panama canal
at a cost of half a billion dollars is a
good investment but I believe that
$4,000 miles of permanent national
highways would be a better investment.
1t would be an investment in which
every man, woman and child in the
nation would share the profits every
time they used foot of road
Walter Williams. of Columbia, Mo-,
took exception to the idea of using the
Panama canal machinery for road
building.

on road across Missouri, to say nothing

chinery be used to dredge the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers.

TROUBLE AT LISBON.
ReyolutionarieS Obtain Release OF
Prisoners by Daring Plan.

Lisbon, April 30.-Revolutionaries by
daring plan secured the release during the
night of a number of prisoners arrested
during Sundays political disturbance in
the capital and confined on board the
Portuguese cruiser Republica in the har-
Dor.
Armed men dressed as sailors clamhered
on board the cruiser at o'clock III the
morning and demanded that the prlsoner2
be handed over to them. At the same
moment three shots were fired from the
guns on the cruiser. This made it appear
as though the affair was being carried
out with the connivance of the oTf1cerS
and crew. The prisoners were then given
I1D bv their guards and landed before the
naval authorities in the harbor understood
what was going on. They had d1sap-
peared before any action could be taken
against them.
The firing from the cruiser caused great
alarm in the capital, many people assum-
ing that a fresh revolution had broken
out and that fighting was gong on

and sixty-seven penniless men who
said that they had been working at
Dayton cleaning up wreckage left by
that they had been driven from the
city as .'undesira ables' without receiv-
ing wages which they said were due
them from the city of Dayton, arrived
here today. The men explained their
plight to the police who laid the sub
ject before the United Charities. Only
few of the men belong in Chicago.
Many of them come from cities near
Dayton, and from other parts of the
country.

said work was slack in Cincinnati, and
he left his wife and family at Cincin-
natl to get work at Dayton.

Cry for Labor, Says Dayton.
Dayton, April 3o-City and relief
authorities were much exercised over a
story from Chicago that men had been
driven from Dayton as ''undesira bles''
The officials deny that injustice could
have been done the men except in a
few unavoidable instances. The action
of the authorities was taken to rid
the city of imported laborers who be-
came intoxicated and continued unfit
and unwilling to work is the statement
of city officials.
There is a crying need for hundreds
more workers than we have been able
to get. There is a labor famine in
every class of work. We can use a
thousand laborers in the work of clean
ing the streets. Mechanics and arti-
sans of every trade are in the grea test

CITY MAY Get IN
COffeyvilIe Plans to Issue
Bonds to Develop Field.
Kansas Natural Company Re-
fuses to Pay Price.

Coffeyville, Kan, Jan. 4.-One of
situation here, as suggested at meet
ings of business men held here, is to
call an election for the purpose of
voting upon a proposition either to
set aside $4,000 of the city's funds or
to issue that amount in bonds, the
proceeds to be used in making a test
for gas.
There is said to be several hundred
acres of undeveloped land in the gas
field about ten miles northwest of
Coffeyville, which the owners are said
to be willing to lease to the city. The
Kansas Natural has refused to pay the
owners more than 500 per well and
they have refused to make leases. This
is in the territory where Coffeyville
has obtained its main supply up to a
year ago. The Kansas Natural recent
ly has brought in two or three strong
wells there.
The plan, after the test is made, is
not fully determined upon. If plenty
of gas is found, the city may buy the
distributing system of the local COM
pany or it may sell the supply to the
company. The concern now is to get
the gas. If the test is a failure, the
city will be out the $4,000, but will
have the satisfaction of knowing there
is no more gas available.
w. H. Shepard of the Coffeyville
Gas & Fuel company said that the
company would abide by the decision
of Mayor Rice and the city commits
sion to fix the new gas rate at the
lowest price at which the company
can escape bankruptcy.

MASONS FEAR spy
If New Hotel Is Built Lodge
Roo unjust Move.
Guests Could Look in Upon
Degree Work.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. Aft the new
hotel is located on the northwest cor
enr of First and Main streets, it's
guests may be able to see the secret
and solemn degree work of the York
Rite Masons through the windows in
the, north side of the building opposite
the corner. For these windows must
be open in hot weather. They are the
only means of ventilating the lodge
hall.
Therefore the lodge may sell and
move to a more secluded and quiet
site. J. J. Fegtley, secretary of the
lodge said:
1--WE Masons will have a mighty I'M
comfortable time in the summer I'M
less we move out of here when the
new hotel is built. Because We'll
either have to keep our windows shut
or have an audience at the hotel win
dows.
Now the Masons have no faith that
the future hotel occupants will be
good enough to draw their window
curtains and go to bed when degree
work is going on in plain sight across
the street.
The Masons already have about de-
cided that the corner will be too valu-
able anyway for a lodge corner and
also too noisy.
