FIRST STATE TEXTS
OUT SEPTEMBER 10

Formal announcement that the
new Kansas histories and primers,
printed by the state, to be used in
all the public schools this winter,
would be ready for shipment by
September 10, was made yesterday
by w. D. Ross, state superintendent.
In circular letter to the city and
county superintendents Ross also
states that the new agricultural
texts will not be available until Oc-
tober 1, or later. These books must
be used exclusively in the common
schools over the state.
II am advised that in some cases
the primer, Kansas history, agricul-
ture and classics heretofore used are
being bought for use next year"
notes Superintendent Ross. "In view
Of this fact it has occurred to me
that it might be well for superin-
tendents to put notices in their To-
cal papers warning against this"

SUES TO TEST MILK
ORDINANCE AT HERINGTON

Alva Smith, a Herington dairy
man, has brought action in district
court here to test Harrington ordin'
ance, effective recently, which re-
quires all persons selling milk OF
cream there to register their cows
with the city clerk and present GER
t!ficates signed by veterinarian
saying that the animals are healthy.
Mr.. Smith is trying to recover from
the city SO which he paid for having
his cows examined, and So which
he paid to the city when he regis
tered his cows. The city charges
fifty cents for registering each COW.
Some time after the Harrington
city council has passed an ordinance
designed to protect the health of the
patrons of the dairymen there, a
bill was presented to them for the
examination of the COWS. The dairy
men had their herds examined all
right, but they had charged the ax-
pense against the city. The council
refused to pay. This suit follows.
The dairymen declare that the Or
dinance is illegal.

pearance only, especially when in
tended to deceive"
Two telephone systems in one town
don't mean that every house or office
must have two phones. The lines of
the two companies can be inter-con-
nected. In Chicago, for instance, the
Bell and automatic phones can be
hooked together so that anybody who
has one phone can talk with anybody
who is on either Bell or an auto
matte phone line. This was the gist
of Ferry's technical report. He argued
that the practicability of interconnec-.
ton should be known to all who are
studying the phone situation.
The clash between Aid. Merriam
and State Senator Sam Ettelson was
the feature of the afternoon. Ettel-
son said: When home rule for Chi
cago was before the legislature it was
charged that Chicago politicians use
the public service corporations to
play football with and to curry favor
with the people. Now want to say
that action in the matter of this sale
of the automatic telephone property
to the Chicago Telephone Co. will
heighten that impression. 1t weak
ems your case for home rule"
Merriam: do you mean to say
Senator Ettelson, that if we don't
give your corporation what it wants
that Chicago won't get home ruler"
While Ettelson hesitated for a re-
ply, Ralph Shaw stepped up to Et-
telson and whispered. Ettelson re-
piled: "Mr. Shaw says, tell him that
if the cap fits, put it on"
Merriam: you are in a peculiar
position, Sen. Ettelson. You are a
member of the state senate which
makes laws that affect corporations.
And you are at the same time the
paid attorney of the Chicago Utilities
Co. You know that campaign funds

for what took place before that"

jeers shook the room when Merriam
ended the incident, saying: 81 hope

Ralph M. Shaw promised he would

Hawaiian sugar planters. and the bulk
OF the Hawaiian sugar crop for several
years last has been unloaded at Sa-
lima Cruz shipped across to Port Mex
leo and then reloaded. Other inter-
national traffic also has been secured,
and shipping service on both sides was
improved. 1t was figured that the
Tehuantepec route shortened the dis
lance between San Francisco and New
York by 1850 miles, as compared with
Panama. Since transshipment OK
cargo was necessary over both routes,
the saving in sea distance was there
fore important and undoubtedly had
much to do with the large traffic which
the Tehuantepec route secured.
British interests here. as elsewhere
In Mexico, are vitality concerned in the
outcome II Is not presumed that
Lord Cowdrey and his associates have
transferred any OF the obligations.
They also secured valuable oil conces-
sions on the lsthmus OF Tehuantepeo
and are understood to have large hold
ings of lands. The connection of Sir
| Lionel Garden, the British minister,
with land company In lower Mexico
was explained in the news dispatches
from the City Of Mexico some time
| ago.
At one time some American money
! was invested in the railway line
known as the Pan-American, which
branches off from the Tehuantepec
railway at San Geronimo and runs
down to the border of Guatemala. The
money was in the bonds which were
| turned over to the American con-
| tractors as the different sections were
! completed. These bonds were guaran-
| teod by the Mexican government.
Later the government took over the
| railway and made it part of the Mexi-
can system.
Two American capitalists who had
held official positions in Washington
and in Mexico we're the intermedi-
aries. They were supposed to have
made a good deal of money by the
transaction.
In view OF later developments this
may be doubted. They got control OF
the international bridge across the
| Suchiate river to Guatemala But
since President Cabrera of Guate-
mala was in no hurry to join up the
Guatemaan lines with the bridge, the
expected profits from the tolls on
traffic across the river did not mate
