WHERE IS THAT TRUNK?
One Full of Gun Cotton Speeding
Across the Country.

A trunk full of gun cotton, suffi-
cient to wreck a train or a railway
station, is speeding through Kansas
today on a passenger train. The
trunk, with it's dangerous contents, is
said to be the property of Dr. Her.
man Bodenheim, of New York, who
was arrested Thursday in st. Louis
on the charge of unlawfully trans
porting explosives. Bodenheim is
said to be a manufacturing chemist
in New York and the trunk is on its
way from New York to San Fran
cisco.
Federal officers all over the coun-
try today We're looking for the trunk.
IF someone sees a passenger train
leave the track suddenly with a ter
rifle explosion said one official, DIR.
Bodenheim's trunk will have been
found
The trunk has been definitely
traced through St. Louis and Kansas
City, but there all clues were lost.
No definite statement has been
made by the government authorities
of the supposed purpose of the rout-
ing by passenger train of such a guam
tity of the explosive. One explanation
which was offered today was that by
shipping the explosive in dry state
arrested man had been enabled to
underSell competitors
A report from Kansas City, Mo-,
says that the shipment was made over
the Santa Fe. According to Santa
Fe officials in Topeka, no word has
been received by them from govern
ment authorities regarding the trunk
and they believe that it is not on a
Santa E'e train.

HELP TO KANSAS
Government to Fight Foot and
Mouth Disease Here.
Secretary Houston Gives ASsur-
ance From Washington.

For the purpose of combating the
dread foot and mouth disease in Kan
sas one of the best experts in the
United States bureau of animal in
dustry will be sent at once to this
state, according to a telegram received
this afternoon by Governor Capper
from d. F. Houston, secretary of ag-
riculture at Washington, d. c.
The telegram from Secretary Hous-
ton also stated that the federal gov
eminent would do everything in its
power to cooperate with state Of
ficialS in stamping out the epidemic.
The sending of the experts of the
federal government to this state is the
result of kilograms sent to President
Wilson, Secretary Houston, and DR..
A. d. Melvin, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, Thursday by Gov
ernor Capper, asking that in view of
the critical situation in the state DR..
Melvin be sent to Kansas to take
charge of the work.
According to the telegram received
by Governor Capper today DR.. Melvin
is ill and unable to take charge of the
work. However, the cooperation of
the best federal expert the govern
ment can produce is promised.
Due to the recent fresh outbreak of
the epidemic among a herd of SIS cat
tie and 1S5 hogs near Ell Dorado the
Situation is regarded as critical by
state officials. According to advice
received in Topeka by state officials
the cattle and hogs IN this herd will
be killed tomorrow. No new out
breaks of the disease were reported
today.

gram from Governor .Capper of Kan

LEGISLATIVE
DEADLOCK STILL ON

quietly admitted that there was but
the slightest hope of an agreement.
With each days disagreement, the
members become more restless. Some
of them are already threatening to
go home. Representative Schmidt of
Marshall county, Democrat, said he
was going home tonight and wouldn
return until someone came after him.
He is tired and disgusted, he said.
Yet the real trouble lies in the flu
ture. The constitution provides that
the governor may call the legislature
together in special or adjourned seS-
sion if both houses fail to agree on
a date for going home. In case the
governor adjourns the legislature, it
means the members must come back
without per diem or mileage. Such
action would work a hardship on the
house members, many of whom are
farmers and live in the extreme west
ern portion of the state.
Governor Is Hopeful
Il do not want to call a special ses-
sion or adjourn the legislature said
the governor today. Neither do 1
believe such course will be neces-
Sary. On the other hand the SituatiO
is becoming more grave and complex
than at any time since the appropria-
ton bills were considered
In the senate today there is a spirit
of grim determination and less tend
ency to yield than at any time since
the fight started. AS soon disa-
greement of the conference commit
tee is reported. 1t is probable that the
senate will move to adjourn until
Tuesday morning. In the meantime
the house will perhaps ask for an
other conference or originate a reso-
luton fixing the time for final ad-
jOurnment.
An adjournment resolution will re-
ceive little consideration at the hands
of the senate at this time. The sem
ate resolutely declines to adjourn.
Neither will it consent to the passage
of the house appropriation bills.
Uncertainty of 1t All.
That leaves but one solution. The
governor will be forced, under such a
situation, to adjourn the legislature
until a given date-probably until
late April or early May-and bring
the members back to Topeka without
pay. All of which adds to the uncer-
tainty of the situation.
If the legislature is adjourned by
the governor. several members have
threatened to resign. Others will re-
fuse to come to Topeka until they are
arrested by the ergeant-at-arms and
brought to the legislature.
If both houses should agree on an
adjournment without making appro-
priations, a special session will be
called. That means a reorganization
of the two houses. In such case an
effort will be made to overthrow the
present house organization.
