BOYCOTT STILL ON.

Claflin business men and citizens
are still maintaining their boycott on
the Missouri Pacific and say the sam
will be continued until they receive
information from the powers that be
that the city will have a suitable new
depot in a reasonable length Of time.
They are routing all Of their ship
ments, both in and out, so that the
Pacific will get only the short haul,
and the company officials are taking
notice of the falling off in business
and last week had a representative
to call on the Claflin business men
and see If the matter could not be
adjusted in an amicable manner. The
city of Claflin does a wonderful
amount of business considering the
size of the town, and there is no
doubt but what II the merchants con-
tinue to give the Gould lines the
short end Of the business they will
get the new depot all right.

HOUSE REFUSES TO REVOKE
TAFT's CIVIL SERVICE ORDER.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 14.-An at
tempt to revoke President Taft's re-
cent order placing fourth class post
masters under the classified civil SER
vice and to remove from. classified
ton assistant postmasters and clerks
in first and second class postoffices
by an amendment to the postoffice
appropriation bill, failed in the house
today. The bill carrying $27S, 4S9, 7S1
was passed.
The amendment offered by Repre-
setative Cullop, Indiana, provided for
the revocation of the executive or
der of October Is, 1912, by which
President Taft exempted some 10000
fourth class postmasters from the
political job class and of the or
der of September 80, 1910, which elias.
sified assistant postmasters and pos
tai clerks in first and second class
offices, was defeated in a roll call
vote of 141 to LOG. The Republicans
voted practically solid against the
amendment, and they were joined by
many Democrats.
An amendment prohibiting the pay
ment of per diem expenses to post
office inspectors engaged in investi-
eating or recommending applicants
for positions as fourth class postmas-
tiers under the new order was incor-
porated in the bill.
An attempt was made by Represen-
tative Murdoch, Kansas, aided by
Representative Hobson, Alabama, to
place in the bill an amendment to
prevent the carrying through the
mails of publications printing liquor
advertisement into prohibitive states.
The committee was voted down in
committee of the whole and was rul-
ed out of order when the bill appear
ed in the house.
The bill shows an increase Of about
81 900, 900 over the postal appropria-
lions for the present year, due in
part to the expenses Of the parcels
post.

TAFT NAMES PosTMAsTERs.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 14.-Presi'
dent Taft has added to the long list
of postmaster nominations awaiting
confirmation by the senate the fol
lowing appointments from Kansas:
H. E. Adams, at Summerfield; Jo
seph E. Aldrich, at Sylvia; Henry
Avery, at Wakefield; Eva NJ. Baird
az Spearville; James NJ. Brown, al
Wilson; Charles T. Dallam at HoXie;
Frank w. Elliott, at Edna; Bert Fan
cher, at Claflin; Frank E. George
al Altamont, and Charles w. Halves
at Augusta.
These nominations are all reap
pOintments. The commissions oil
some of those named for re-appoint
ment expired several months ago;
others do not expire until late il
January Or in February. It is evi
IDENTIFY the plan of the administration
to leave no postmaster vacancies fol
the Democrats to fill on their ad
vent into power. 1t seems probable
now, however, that many of these
postmasterships including some o.
the juciest postmaster plums in Kan
saS, will be at the disposal of Presi
dent-elect Wilson Immediately upor
taking office. The fight being made
by tie Democrats in the senate tt
prevent the confirmation by tha
body of postmaster appointment!
made by President Taft during thu
/ present session of congress, if sue
cessfully maintained to the end o
the session, will leave all thes'
places for President Wilson to fill.

promises to receive the endorsement
and support of the Democratic mem
bers Of both houses.
O'Connor's resolution asks that
three members be appointed a COM
mittee at once to proceed with the
investigation and to report its find
ings to the governor and members of
the legislature.
The Committee.
1t prescribes the appointment OF
one member of the committee from
the house, the appointment of Sec
ond member from the senate and the
appointment of third member by
Governor George H. Hodges. 1t urges
the investigation of every state Of
flee and state department under the
Stubbs administration and for rigid
investigation of the expenditure OF all
moneys in appropriations and contin-
gent funds by all departments.
It also demands that the employ
ment list of the last legislature be
looked into and that report be filed
concerning the number of people on
the states payroll and the actual
service performed for the state in re-
turn for the pay checks received by
these employees. 1t covers a search
ing investigation of every state, char
table and penal institution and de-
mands that a report be filed concern
ing the business administration and
expenditure of funds in these institu-
lions. The house adjourned at noon
to Thursday morning.
The O'Connor resolution created a
sensation in the house. 1t is the cher
topic of conversation in legislative
circles today. Orr, Democrat floor
leader, will lead the fight for the
passage of the measure.
The following are among the more
important bills introduced in the
Kansas house today:
Bulk sales law, bill to exempt
women from jury duty, creation of a
board of control Of educational insti-
tutions, the initiative and referen-
dunn, the three-fourth jury verdict,
amendment to the primary law to do
away with petitions, printing of text
books by the state.
The Kansas State Real Estate
Mems convention, in session here to
day voted to ask the legislature to
pass a law requiring all real setate
agents to register with the secretary
of state. They would under this law
have to have a permit to do business
and pay the state fee Of $40 per
year.

RAISED A ROW.

Charley Welsh was carrying lit
tie more of load of whiskey, Wed.
nesday afternoon, than is good for
the ordinary mortal or for the peace
and sanctity, and about supper time
went into the Ferguson restaurant
near the depot and proceeded to raist
a row. Joe Mccain, who was in the
restaurant at the time, didn't like
Charley's style of behavior, so he
threw him out. Then Charley hunted
up his trusty gun and coming back,
shot through the window at Mccain
several times but his aim was mighty
bad, and aside from some broken
glass and some scared people no
damage was done. Welsh was placed
under arrest and is in Jail on a
charge of carrying weapons and dis
turbing the peace.
