PANICS IMPOSSIBLE.
Hamlin Says Permanent Prosperity
Is Near at Hand.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 27.-Pros-
perity that is near is at hand was told
of here by Charles S. Hamlin, gov
ernor of the federal reserve bank
board, and Jacob Schiff, New York
financier, who spoke before the Kan
Sas City Bankers club.
Prosperity that comes to stay was
spoken of by Mr.. Hamlin, who de-
clared the day of panics is past.
Il can say with complete confidence
that financial panic never again can
occur in this country" he said. In
dividuals and banks may stumble and
fall but they can never again carry
down with them in financial loss and
confusion the whole structure of the
nation"
Mr.. Schiff told of his observations
in various parts of the country
The exaggerated speculation you
see in Wall street is only the forerun-
ner of a change for better times,' he
declared. wall street is a much bet
ter barometer of American business
than you think it is in the West The
Wall street speculator has keenly
sensed the end of the depression that
has prevailed the last few years.

UNCLE JOE DANCES.
Substitutes a Waltz for the Promised
Virginia Reel.

San Francisco. Cal, April 27.-Con-
gresham Joseph G. Cannon, of Illi-
nois, kept a promise made five years
ago by dancing a waltz in the New
York state building at the Panama
Pacific exposition. The former speak
err is a member of the congressional
party enroute to the Hawaiian islands.
The promise was given at the time
San Francisco and New Orleans were
fighting for the possession of the ex-
position Mr.. Cannon, then speaker
of the house, declared that If San
Francisco should be selected as it's
site, he would visit the grounds and
participate in a Virginia reel.
Tonight, after banquet given in
honor of the congressional party by
Senator James D. Phelan, of Cali
fornia, Uncle Joe" was reminded of
his promise, which he fulfilled at
once. Owing to a slightly bruised
knee, a waltz was substituted for the
more strenuous hoe down.
Congressman Cannon will celebrate
his seventy-ninth birthday anniver-
sary on May z.
The 100 United States senators and
representatives composing the party
will sail tomorrow for Honolulu.

FIGHT ON BIRD LAW.
Called Unconstitutional by Kansas U.
S. Court-Houston Says Not.

washington, D. c., April 81
Many of the press comments on the
decision of the United States district
court, rendered March 90, at Topeka,
KAN holding that the federal m1gra-
tory bird law is unconstitutional, in
the opinion of the department OF ag-
riculture, are erroneous and are apt 10
mislead the public concerning the real
situation in this matter.
1.-THE Kansas decision, like a former
decision to the same effect in the
eastern district of Arkansas, is limited
in its operation solely to the district
in which it was rendered, said Secre-
tary Houston to the correspondent or
the Topeka State Journal.
Neither decision he said, settles
or nullifies the law, and the exact con-
trary has been held by the United
States district court for South Dakota
The Arkansas case has been appealed
to. and is now pending in the United
States supreme court. The act OF con-
Rress protecting migratory birds
stands effective until the supreme
court finally decides the question or
its constitutionality.
I'm the meantime, it is incumbent
on every law-abiding citizen to OBJ
serve its provisions and the regula-
tions. 1t is the duty of the department
to enforce this law, and the officials
in charge will endeavor to do so as
long as it is in force Reports or V1o-
Iations will be carefully investigated,
and when sufficient evidence is Sc
cured they will be reported for prose-
cutiOn.
In this connection it should not be
this as in the case of other United
States laws, is subjected to prosecu-
ton any time within three years from
the date the offense is committed"

INSANE WARD GROWS.
saTruskett'' Bill Believed Will Cause
Increase of Insane Prisoners.

Leavenworth, April 27.-The crimi-
nal insane population at the state
penitentiary at Lansing is increasing
very rapidly and the present insane
ward has become so crowded that
some of the insane prisoners have to
be kept in the south cell wing. Off
Gals, 90, believe that there will be a
more rapid increase in the future as
the result of the passage of the so
called Truskett bill passed at the last
legislature.
The population was added to yes
terday by the reception of Charles
Vermillion from Wyandotte county
This makes the population committed
under the criminal insane act at the
present time 26, the largest it has
ever been since the law was enacted
in 1911. Altogether there have been
81 committed by the courts to this
hospital OF this number three have
been released, one died and one has
escaped.
