session at the court house and from
the way business is piling up in
front of the board an adjourned
session will be held The board
will be In session until Thursday
afternoon. This morning road petit
lions were presented from Cheever
and Lincoln townships.
The contract for wiring the court
house was awarded to the Salina
company. The Salina firm bid
$3.50, a drop OF $50 from their for
mer bid OF $3.50 when because of
technical errors the commissioners
rejected all bids. ]. e. Valentine
bid $549. which included specifica-
tions valued at $40 for which Mr..
Valentine was not to be paid should
the contract be awarded him, so
that there was only 50 difference
in the bids. The court house will
be wired throughout, vaults and all.
The work Will be begin as soon as
the material can be brought here.
Plans for rebuilding the arch at
the front entrance of the building
were submitted by j. L. Kruger,
who has the contract for tearing
down and rebuilding the arch. The
plan that probably will be adopted
by the commissioners provides for
a single arch, with a large eyebeam
to join the columns at either side
and give strength to the new work
that the former arch did not possess.
Some sort of decoration will add to
the improvement of the front of the {
arch. The same railing as CT the {
Did arch will be used.

PICK SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE
Certificate Of Election Unnecessary
in Kansas, Dawson Rules

Topeka, April 6.-Kansas may e
ahead and elect a United States
senator by direct vote and feel con-
fident that the election will be le-
gal. John s. Dawson, attorney gen.
eral, has written an opinion to that
effect, Senator j. L. Bristow and
Senator William Howard Thompson
concurring. The two concurring
senators base their findings on the
election and judicial committees of
the United States senate.
Letters from both United States
senators from Kansas were received
stating that the law applying to
the election of state officers would
apply to the election of United
States senators until the legislature
may act next winter.
Ever since the passage of the.l
seventeenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States pro-
Viding for the direct election Of
United States senators, there has
been some question as to how Kan
las should get her next senator
INTO the senate after he is elected.
Many lawyers asserted that a spe-
ial session Of the legislature would

aw so that proper certificate of
lection could be granted the per-
on who receives the popular vote
or senator.
The United States senate has al
eady found a condition similar to
hat in Kansas in other states.

Absolute Prohibition Will Prevail
After July 1, Secretary Rules
ISSUES A SWEEPING ORDER
AbOlishes Officers Wine Mess and
Alcoholic Liquors from Every
Ship and Shore
Station

Washington, April 6.--Absolute
prohibition will prevail in the Unit.
ed States navy after July next.
Secretary Daniels has made pub
lie a sweeping order, which not on
ly will abolish the traditional wine
mess" of the officers, but will bar
all alcoholic liquors from every
ship and shore station of the navy.
This order, constituting one Of
the most notable victories ever won
by the prohibition forces, was is
sued on the recommendation of
Surgeon General BREASTED. 1t was
brief and to the point:
THE use or introduction for
drinking purposes of alcoholic liq-
quors on board any naval vessel, or
within any navy yard or station, is
strictly prohibited, and commanding
officers will be held directly re-
sponsible for the enforcement OF
this order"
In a statement Secretary Daniels
said:
Il am in hearty agreement with |
the views expressed by the surgeon |
general in his paper accompanying |
the recommendation. There should
not be on shipboard, with reference
10 intoxicants, one rule for officers
and another and a different rule for
he enlisted personnel. The saddest
hour in my official life is when an
officer or enlisted man must be
for intoxication.
During the last week It has been
ny painful duty to approve a court
martial for dismissal from the serv-l
&c Of an officer for intoxication. He
old me that he had never tasted
drink until he did 90
d the wine mess on his cruiser.
Dthers who have been disciplined
Or drinking to excess have made
Imilar statements to me.
Officers are now commissioned
t the early age Of 20 years. Has
be government q right TO permit /
lis temptation which too often de- !
.roys the highest usefulness Of
Dung officers? / think not" 1t

FIGHT RESERVE
BANK SELECTION
Disappointed Cities VIII Try to
Change Committees Decision
TO FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
Five Members on Board, Which Has
the Power to Redistrict Ter
TitOry or Change Bank
Location

Washington, April 4.-There is
every indication here that the an
nouncement of the reserve districts
and cities by the reserve bank or
ganization committee has given the
signal for several cities which were
disappointed to overturn the COM
mittee's decision and. bring about
redistricting of the territory, or at
least, a change In the reserve cities
named.
Under the law, the decision of
the organization committee is not
subject to review except by the fed
eral reserve board. This board
probably will not be named by Pres
ident Wilson for several weeks, but
meantime 1t is believed those dis
appointed with the committees an
will bend every effort
toward paving the way for changes.
1t was pointed out that both the
secretary Of the treasury w. G..
and the comptroller Of the
currency, John Shelton Williams IT
the organization committee, are ex-
officio members of the reserve
board, and hardly could be counted
upon to reverse themselves. The
president has given no intimation
Is to who the other five members
will be.
The committees plan was criti-,
lied in congress and there were re-.
,orts of keen disappointment from
everal cities which were in the
ace for reserve banks. and which
