ROWING.

Interest in rowing was greatly added to
this year by the International rivalry.
Leland Stanford University went all the
way from California to compete on tho
Hudson in the intercollegiate regatta, and
the westcrners made mighty fine show
ing when they beat every crew on the river
except Cornell. and were only second
behind the mighty lthacans at the end OF
four miles. It was another feather in the
cap of Charley" Courtney. the dean of
the coaches. when he put another winning
crew across the line, but II was almost as
much of triumph for Frank Guarena,
the twenty-siS-y car-old coach of STAN
ford. to get his charges up into second
position after the long trip across the con-
linent. Al New, London Yale had u holt
day mt The expense OF Harvard, beating
the Crimson by five lengths. In the ma
tionaI fegGtta Mt springfield, Mass. there
WINS little to,it but Duluth. The boys from
that town won practically everything that
could be won. Bob" Dibbie. OF Toronto,
was again the best single sculler.

ONLY FALSE ALARM.
Congressman Taggart Writes to State
Officials on Federal Judgeship Act.

Congressman Joseph Taggart of the
Second Kansas district has written to
Governor Capper. Speaker Stone, and
w. Y. Morgan. lieutenant governor, to
assure them that the legislature felt
undue alarm about q new federal
judgeship for this state. Taggart as
sumed that the passage of the resolu-
ton is a confirmation of the report
that the legislature hasn't much on
hand that demands immediate atten-
ton.
Not only does the Second district
member assure the governor. ieuten-
ant governor and speaker that the
alarm Is premature, but states that
no such bill as mentioned in the reso-
luton has been introduced. The res
olution was offered by A. A. Doerr of
Pawnee county. minority house leader.
Taggart's letter is as follOws:
Il have just received a copy of
house concurrent resolution No. q,
from a reading of which it appears
that the legislature of Kansas, moved
thereto by 'rumor and newspaper pub
licity,' resolved against the esta blish-
ment of an additional federal court in
Kansas, and directed that copies of
the resolution should be sent to the
president and cabinet and to each
member Of the Kansas delegation in
both houses of congress.
LAS a member of the judiciary COM
mittee Of the house, 1 am in a position
to learn, perhaps at first hand. of any
movement looking. toward the ,eStah-
lfshment Of an additional federal
court. and I beg leave TO say. Cor the
further information of the Kansas
legislature. that no bill for the pur-
pose of creating an additional judicial
district in Kansas has been introduced
either in the house or the senate dur -.
ing the past four years. No one has
requested me to introduce such a bill.
and I have not heard of any such pur-
pose, either through rumor or news
paper publicity.
1.-The other members of the Kansas
delegation in both houses assure me
taht they have not been requested to
introduce any such measure. The last
attempt to divide the Kansas district
occurred on January 49,, 1911, when
house bill No. 1921 was introduced
by a Kansas member, apparently
without exciting public anxiety. The
judiciary committee refused to report
the bill favorably. No bill for this
purpose has been introduced since the
house became Democratic.
1T gives me pleasure to learn
through this resolution. that trouble
is unusually scarce in Kansas This
solemn and ceremonious protest =. is
conclusive evidence of the necessity
of borrowing trouble. venture ia
say that the president and cabinet
when they learn the facts, will join
me In this most cordial felicitatfon.''

Story of Gay Party Of States
men in Capital City.
One Lady kicked on Her Slip
per While Dancing.

Subrosa accounts of what took
place at a party held Saturday night
In one of Topeka's BILE
boarding houses party in which
those present were high state officials
and their ladies-are being circulated
in Topeka.
AS to how freely the refreshments
flowed, one may judge from some of
the things which are reported to have
occurred. Two young women. profess
stonal dancers, were engaged to add
gafety to the occasion, the story goes.
According to the pre-arranged pro-
gram, they were to do all the dane
ing. But a lot OF things not on the
program were started, when one of
the state officials proceeded to at
tempt to tango with one of the dane
ing girls. The attempt was a bowling
success
Not to be outdone, a~wife of anoth-
err. declared that as the professional
dancers had the honor of dancing with
the high state dignitary, she also
should have that honor. In an at
tempt to kick just as high as the tango
girls had done, her slipper flew off
with such force that it wrecked a
houseplant and nearly broke a win
dow glass.
According to all accounts, the party
was a great success, marvellous. a
most sensational success.

Legislative Committee ON Junket
Feared Ice i'm Missouri River.

Being unwilling to initiate the
scene in Uncle Toms Cabin in which
Eliza crosses the river on the floating
ice. the members of the special senate
committee which was sent to Lansing
to inspect the 8OO-acre section OF the
penitentiary island which has been
offered to the state for $4,000, re-
turned home without having ap-
preached nearer to the island than
the west bank of the Missouri river.

land we didn't have the nerve to
tackle the crossing. Neither did any
body else around there during our
stay. for the river looks bad just now.
The ice up stream has been breaking
and it is coming down fast-not float
ing smoothly, but turning over and
over so to make it exceedingly un-
safe for row boats. The penitentiary
steamboat has been sunk so we
couldn't go out in that. All we know
about the island is what we could
see from the shore. We spent our
time looking at the proposed improve
ments around the penitentiary"

the position.
Demands Resignation.
That there is a disposition on both
sides of the senate to accept the Cap
per solution for the dilemma was in
dicated by it's support by Senator
Price of Clark county. Republican,
and by opposition to the drastic Davis
resolution by Waggener and Carney
on the part Of the Democrats. Carney
closed the morning discussion with
the introduction of a substitute resO-
luton which would allow. Dean to
keep the salary already received but
calling for his resignation.
Senator Davis resolution would ac-
cept nothing less than the complete
humiliation of the Kansas Panama
Pacific exposition commission, COM
posed of Albert T. Reid of Topeka;
Frank Hodges of Olathe: H. E. Dean
of Kansas City, and Bank Commits
sioner Benson. all of whom are re-
quested to resign by its provisions. It
would leave the Kansas exhibit to be
completed by a new set of commits
sioners unfamiliar with the work up

ator Joseph L. ,Bristow presented to

tor Bristow f1iAdea this statement on
the floor Of the senate:' eae
IT desire to state that in one
branch of the Kansas legislature a
majority of it's members are Republic
can in politics. and the other branch is
Democratic in politics. This resOlu-
ton was passed by both bodies and is
signed by the governor, Mr.. CappeE. I
am myself in Thorough accord with its
declaration. There is no use of sec

there is not in many states that have

"J|TNEY" over AGAIN
Reconsideration ON Railway Measure
May Appear in House.

The vote by which the house late
Monday afternoon passed the "jitney"
railroad fare bill may be reconsidered.
A question as to the cOnstitutionality
of the law has been raised and an eff
fort will be made by opponents of the
bill to bring about a .rehearing and
reversal of the house action.
Moxcey of Atchison and Hawkins of
Pottawatomie, who led the fight
against the bill-affecting only the
Scott City Winona 1ine-now see a
