HORROR and FEAR
They Strive for AScendancy in
the British Mind.
Sinking of the Falaba and
Aguila Brings a Shock.

London, March 30.-England's hor-
ror over the torpedoing of the steam
ers Fa1aba and Aguila, with loss of
life now estimated at 144, gave way. to-
day to grave concern for the safety
of other big passenger carrying lin
ers about to enter the German war
zone"
Representatives of big shipping
companies besieged the admiralty Of
fices early today. They were assured
that extraordinary precautions have
been taken TO protect transatlantic
liners from New York from submarine
attacks during their passage through
the Irish sea.
All night crowds thronged about the
office of the Elder line here inquiring
for relatives aboard the liner Falaba.
Early today the officials of the Elder
line admitted they had practically
abandoned hope for 10 passengers
and crew of the Falaba still missing.
TrawlerS raked the waters off the
south coast of Wales today and re-
ported sighting a number of dead
bodies
Reports from F'ishguard regarding
the exact loss of life aboard the Aguila
were still contradictory, but the ad-
miralty still reported % of the Aguila' S
crew and three passengers missing.
The London press today expressed
the horror of the nation over the
sinking of the Falaba, and Aguila with
heavy loss of life to non-cOmbatants.

Petitions Out to Pave West

Shawnee Must Awaken to Value

Petitions calling for the construc-

city limits to Mount Hope cemetery on
the West Seventeenth street road, are

to be about 100000 a mile.
If the plan now discussed is carried
out the cost of the Improvement will

The city will be expected to pave

ON DECK
He Has Arrived at Brownsville
to Take Charge
Of the Situation Growing Out
of Mexican Hostilities.

Brownsville, Texas, March 30
General Frederick Funston arrived
here today from Fort Sam Houston,
Texas to watch the border situation
during the Villa attack on Matamoros.
Three batteries of field artillery from
San Antonio are due tonight. There
had been no renewal of hoStilitieS be-
tween the Villa and Carranza faction
late today and nothing to indicate
when they would be resumed. The
United States artillery is being brought
here to guard against firing across the
border, two persons having been
wounded here during fighting last
Saturday.
Villa soldiers who fell wounded in
Saturdays attack on MatamoroS are
said still to be lying where they fell,
and today H. G. Harrison, an Ameri-
can Red Cross official sought permis-
to bring them in. The commander,
Gen. E. P. Nafarrate, replied he had
men out gathering the wounded and
placing them in MatamorOS hospitals
as rapidly as possible.
1t was reported the Matamoros gar
rison has planted dynamite at the ap-
proaches to the town and believe it
could prevent 10000 men from passing
these mines.
General Funston, commanding the
department of the south, will take
command of the situation at Browns
Vile and has been given discretionary

TEST KANSASLAW
Suits on Corporation Tax Filed
in Court Today.
Frisco and Memphis Roads May
Go to Federal Bench.

Two suits, which it is understood
are intended to be carried from state
into federal courts, for the purpose of
testing the application of the Kansas
corporation tax to railroads engaged
in interstate commerce, were filed in
the Shawnee county district court this
morning by r. R. Vermillion and W.
T. Lillerton, attorneys for the receiv-
ers of the Frisco road and for the
Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis
railway. Both petitions ask merely
for recovery of the amounts of cor
poration tax paid under protest today
to J. T. Botkin, secretary of state.
The tax amounts to $4,000 in each
case.
The present case is an attack on the
Kansas corporation tax law, recently
sustained by the state supreme court
in the injunction case brought there
by the Memphis road, from a new an
gle. The tax is attacked on constitu-
tional grounds of being double taxa
ton in that the roads already pay
tax on physical valuations; that it is
an interference with interstate COM
merce, and that it is an effort to col
lect a tax on money employed, at least
partially, outside the state of Kansas.

Mrs. Hand related in a circumStan-
tial way the events preceding and fol-
lowing the death of Storrier, whom
she describes as having been a conf
Dental -.iend. She identified the let
terS which had been taken from Stor-
been in the act of restoring to Stor-
rier letters written to her by him dur
ing his absence from Topeka while
working as 1ineman between here

did not pursue this line of inquiry,
the letters serving to establish the fact
of the close friendship which existed
between the two.
Asked for the Letters.
HE came to my house. where I
have been living only since March "a,
about half past eleven o'clock in the
morning I should think it was,' said

had gone there Sunday afternoon but
had been transferred back to Topeka.
