FOR STATE NORMAL.
Legislature Looks With Favor on
100000 Appropriation.

A 100000 building for the State
Normal school at Emporia is one of
the items in the big educational ap-
preparation bill now in the hands of
the legislature which promises to es-
cape the pruning which that measure
will undoubtedly get In the confer
ence where the measure will finally
upon the necessity OF the measure.
largely due to the energetic campaign
carried on in it's behalf by Senator
W. NJ. Price of the Greenwood-Lyons
district. The building fund may even

lection to that feature OF the bill. the
other building items OF which bring

of senators and representatives made
tied the normal at its busiest hours.
They got mixed up in the throng of
students in the halls at the close Of
the chapel exercises and were SO tram
pied and hustled in the congested pas
sage ways that all returned to Topeka
with a thorough conviction that EN-
poria needs more room. The ways
and means committee of the house
has been studying the educational ap-
preparations preparatory to tussle
with the senate bill and It has been
agreed by the house committee that
whatever cuts are made the normal
school building item should be left
alone

IN SUPREME, COURT.
Important Cases Before Higher Court
Following Recess.

Washington, Feb. 23.=Following a
three weeks mid-term recess, the SUI
preme court reconvened today. Many
decisions were expected, the court
having devoted the recess period to
their preparation.
Heading the list of cases specially
advanced for argument today was that
Of Leo M. Frank of Atlanta. Although
technically assigned for hearing to-
day, Franks case will probably not
be reached before Thursday or Fri
day. eFf
Among other cases to be argued
this week was the suit OF the Ramapo
Water company against New York
City, growing out of acquisition of the
water company's property.
1t was also expected today that the
court would advance for hearing April
the appeal of the Harvester Trust
from the decree of dissolution secured
by the government, which proved that
the trust controls IS per cent OF Unit

implements. s~7-*- sTk .~r<f'S

by the legislature of 1915. and already
approved by the senate, will bring this
sessions appropriations up to the as
founding sum Of approximately 49,
pr1atton ever made by any Kansas
legislature, but the greatest increase
ever made by any legislature in the
history OF the state.
Slap ut Democrats.
do not question the motives OF
increase In appropriations, but the fact
remains that some OF the members
who are now urging this increase. are
the very ones who were most deeply
concerned two years ago in keeping
down appropriations. Then they re-
luctantly appropriated 81 66,983s for new
buildings at state educational institu-
tons, while now they are insisting that
1850, $50 be appropriated for the same
purpose. And all this in the face of
the fact that our assessed valuation
actually decreased $5.0OO,O0O last year.
that our population has not increased.
and that business conditions which
were then satisfactory, are now much
certain and unstable markets, an I'M
usual number of laboring men are out
OF employment and business condi-
tfons are far from satisfactory. All
individuals are curtailing expenses.
The state cannot afford unnecessarily
pose this additional burden upon the
people.
1 urgently ask a reconsideration Of
the appropriation bills; for the elimi-
nation of every item calling for an ex-
penditure which can by any possibility
wait for more prOpitious times. 1 have
studiOusly refrained from any attempt
to encrOach upon the functions of the
Legislative branch OF our state govern
ment. but I cannot and I will not ap-
prove expenditures which believe to
be unwise and unnecessary and extrav-
agant at such time as this. I most
earnestly appeal to you to lay aside
the particular benefit Of any section
of the state or of any institution of
the state in which you have a special
interest. In the light of conditions as
the are, and not as we would have
them, 1 urge you to cnsider solely the
good of the state as a whole; the best
interests of all it's people.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR CAPPER, Governor

700 Poles Down.
There are in the neighborhood Of
200 poles down in the second Santa
Fee district, between EmporiA and
Ottawa Junction. All poles are re-
ported down between Ottawa Junction
and Olathe. Poles arc practically all
down between Holiday and Turner.
The eastward track between Ottawa
Junction and Edgerton is obstructed
with poles and wires Between Read

Twenty-Five poles down this side Of
Santa Fe trains No. 8 and No. ~,
which run ov0. the cutoff, came by
way OF Topeka this morning because

On the Atchison branch of the
Santa Fe. communications were made
as far as Nortonville this morning,
but wires were all down between that
point and Atchison and st. Joseph.

The Rock Island was nearly. free
