THE POPE MAY BUY A FOREST
Holy See Negotiates for Place
Who're POntiff May Walk.

Rome, June 2S.-Owing to the
precarious health of the pontiff,
after his recent illness, it is under
stood negotiations are now COINS on
between the Holy See and Prince
Torlonia for the purchase of Dine
wood, owned by the prince, which
lies close to the. Vatican gard ais.
This wood can be reached either by
means of an underground passage
or an archway and would enable the
pope to enjoy very much larger
area for his walks. This section al
lows a magnificent view of the To-
man Campagna towards the Medi-
terranean.

NATURAL GAS UPHEAVES
GROUND AT CHANUTE.

Chanute, June 20.--Natural gas
is upheaving the ground on the
Smith Day land, southwest of this
city, leaving a trail like that of
giant mole. The shifting of the
ground broke 6-inch main of the
Kansas Natural Gas company, and
a hedge in the path of the phenom-'
enon is topping.
The largest ''blister" covers an.
area the size of dwelling, the eart&
being pushed up feet about the
adjacent level. There are four such
blots at intervals of 100 feet. They
are some dirance from the nearest
we'll.
The tract is one in which the
Kansas Natural Gas company has
some of its best wells in the Chanute
field. Gas men account for the
freak on the theory that one of the
wells was not cased deep enough to
restrict the gas. The odor of the
gas is plain in the vicinity of the
''blisters."

UNITED STATES WON'T
ENFORCE PROHIBITION
Webb Law Expediates State En-
fOrcement.

Washington, June 20.-The Webb
law forbidding interstate shipments
of liquor into dry states is not
criminal statute and violations of
lit cannot be prosecuted in United
States courts. Attorney General
McReynolds has so declared in in
structions sent to every United
States attorney in the country. The
law merely prohibits such interstate
traffic and contains no penalty for
attractions.
"Its purpose" the attorney gem
eral said, sis to permit state laws
to operate in respect to intoxicating
liquors moving in Interstate COM
merce."
The law simply deprives shippers
of any privileges they might claim
on the ground of interstate COM
merce and permits the application
of state prohibition laws to inter-
state commerce in liquors.

GEARY WILL ADOPT
COUNTY ROADS SYSTEM.

Junction City, June 23.-Geary
county will adopt the county roads
system and the board of commits
sioners will designate the county
roads at their next regular meeting
which begins on July Z.
That the Golden Belt route will
be designated as one of the county
roads seems to be the general opin-
ion. The road law does not desig-
nate the number of county roads for
any county, but leaves that to the
judgment of the commissioners.

PRESIDENT SIGNS
SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
Does Not Favor Union Prosecution
Exemption.
ANTITRUST LIMITATIONS WIN
Other Funds, However, Can Be OBJ.
tanned for Prosecution of the
Unions and Farm Trusts
President Says.

Washington, June 24.-President
Wilson has signed the sundry civil
appropriation bill with statement
declaring that he would have vetoed,
It he could, the provision in 1t ex-
emptine labor unions and farmers
organizations from prosecution I'M
der q certain 100000 fund desig-
mated for the operation of the Sher-
man antitrust law. The president
characterized the exemption as "un'
justifiable in character and princi-
ple," but called attention to the fact
that the department Of justice pos
Bessed other funds with which to
enforce the antitrust law. The ur-
gent need of various government
departments for funds appropriated
by the bill influenced the president
to speedy action on the measure. The
bill carries $116,0O0.O00 in appro-
priations and was vetoed by Mr..
Taft March because of the labor
exemption clause. When the bill
was reintroduced and passed by both
houses in identical form by the pres
emit congress, this provision was the
subject of sharp debate.
The president said:
"If l could have separated from
the rest of the bill the item which
authorized the expenditure by the
department of justice of a special
sum of 100000 for the prosecution
Of violation of the antitrust law,
/ would have vetoed that item.
II can assure the country that this
item will neither limit nor in any
way embarrass the actions of the
department of justice. Other APP
preparations supply the department
with abundant funds to enforce the
law. The law will be interpreted
in the determination of what the
should do by indepen-
dent, and hope, impartial judg-
ments as to the true and just means
of substantive statutes of the United
States"

ARE GETTING TOGETHER.
That Is What Nebraska Republicans
Are Doing.

Omaha, Neb., June 24.-Forget
and forgive, was the keynote of an
address delivered last night by for
mer Vice President Charles w. Fair
banks at banquet given him by
800 Republican leaders of Nebraska.
The gathering was fairly represen-
tative of both wings of the party in
this state and good fellowship pre-
vailed.
To Nebraska Republicans the for
mer vice president recommended a
get-to-gether policy and that they
let be by-gones be by-gones. mo
proscriptive spirit should be kept
alive" he declared. mo matter how
differently good Republicans saw
their duty a year ago-that does
not matter now. The test of Re-
publicanism today is ones loyalty to
Republican principles now
Mr.. Fairbanks prefaced his ad-
dress with a declaration that when
he accepted an invitation to address
the annual mission school, now in
session in this city, he did not pre-
sumo he would be called upon to
make political address. He then
reviewed the achievements of the
party, at some length, detailing the
result of Republican legislation,
mentioning particularly the inter-
state commerce law and the 'Sher-
man antitrust laws. These two
laws, he declared, had served to pro-
tect the people against railroads and
industrial monopoly as has no 9TH
er legislation ever enacted.
Circumstances which unfortunate
ly led to party division a year ago
no longer exist. The Democratic
party is in full power and 1t can be
overthrow only by the united eff
fort Of the great body Of those who |
believe in the soundness and eff
cacy of Republican principles. Re-
that is to say, those who
believe in the political doctrines OF
the Republican party, are largely in
the majority throughout the coun-
.ry.
II have no doubt whatever that
he logic of events will bring. them
nto cooperation again. This much
o be desired result cannot be ac-
by coercion of any sort;
t must come about naturally, by 1
he exercise of spirit of tolerance Z
md patience; old scores should be 1
orgotten; as President Mckinley [

DROPS THROUGH BRIDGE
WITH NITROGLYCERINE

Chanute, June 23.-Dropping
six feet through a bridge on an auto
truck loaded with three tons of
nitroglycerine and living to tell the
tale is the experience of G. L. Cal
vert. The accident happened near
Thayer. Why the nitro-glycerine
did not explode is a mystery no one
has tried to explain. The explosive
was loaded on wagons and hauled
to the mining camp for which it was
intended.

Washington, June 23.-While
committees of both houses of con-
gress are preparing to press immi-
grafton reforms at the next session,
Speaker Clark is giving attention to
the other side of the question. Emf
grafton, the speaker said in a state
