TRIM STATE FAIR BILLS
FOR HUTCHINSON Topeka
House Ways and Means COMMITTEES
Cuts Appropriation.
For Salt-Sand City $4,000 and Capt.
tai City Only $4,000.
SENATE MAY RAISE 1
But Both Fairs Will Be Reduced I
Low Fund.
Recognition From State to Both Ex.
positions Here.

The house ways and means commit
tee today trimmed $4,000 off the
Hutchinson fair bill and cut another
$4,000 from the. appropriation bill
for the Topeka state fair. A total ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the two
fairs was recommended in the report
$4,000 for Hutchinson and $4,000
for the Topeka fair.
In their original bill, the Hutchin-
son institution asked for $1O8,OOO.
The bill included nearly $4,000 for
new buildings. All building items
were eliminated from the bill. The
Reno county institution also asked
ments. upkeep ard a revolving fund.
But many of the dreams of the
Hutchinson Fair association will new
err come true. The bill allows $4,000
for a revolving fund and $4,000 for
improvements of buildings now on
the grounds. Not one cent does the
committee recommend FOR new build
ings.
Topeka asked a revolving fund of
$4,000 for her fair. She wanted a
fund of $4,000 a. year to provide for
a revolving fund to meet premiums in
event of bad weather and the gate re-
ceipts failed to take care of the pre-
MUM list. The committee gives $40,
900 to be used during the two years.
1t is regarded as probable that the
senate will attempt to raise the ap-
preparation recommended by the
house committee. Members of the
house committee, through Chairman
Keene are inclined to hold, down the
fair appropriations sought by the two
state fairs. Both fairs, however, will
receive recognition at the hands of the
state and each will draw an appro-
priation, although there is every indi-
cation that the amount appropriated
will be far below the amount re-
uuested

hibited in the four counties. All re-
strictions in other parts of the state
are removed.

ACCUSES WILSON
Representative Good Of Iowa
Charges That the President
Influenced the /. c. G.. in East
ern Freight Rate Decision.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Representa-
tive Good of Iowa precipitated a live
ly wrangle in the house today by
charging that President Wilson influ-
enced the interstate commerce COM
mission to grant the five per cent in
crease in rates to eastern railways.
The incident occurred during the
debate on a motion by Gillett of Mas
sachusetts to strike out the civil sun
dry bill. a three million dollar ap-
preparation to continue the physical
valuation Of the country's railways.
The first to answer Good was Cor
don of Ohio, who declared it was the
first time any one had dared
to say so openly what Re-
publican members had been
whispering among themselves. He
had heard the charge. he stated, and
had gone to the president about it.
The president told him. he said, that
1t was untrue and that he would as
soon think of trying to influence the
supreme court.
Commissioner Daniels, who has
gone to Chicago to take evidence on
the question of increasing rates in
the west as asked by western rail-
roads will file recommendation ia.
voring five per cent increase, he
predicted.
And the interstate commerce com.
mission. under pressure from the
president, will grant the increase" ht
went on.

BATTLE IN SNOW
Troop Movements Are Difficult
In the Carpathians.
Austrians Find 1t Hard to Drive
Out Russians.

Berlin, Feb. 10.-A description of
conditions under which battles are be-
ing waged in the Carpathians is con-
tafned in dispatch to the Lokal
Anzeiger from its correspondent In
the mountains who says:
Deep snow lies in the Carpathians
and troop movements are confined to
the valley paths. These marches are
slow and deployment for battle Is ex-
treme1y difficult. The Russians are
pressing with very considerable forces
against Dukla pass and are contin-
ually bringing up new troops there.
''On the rest of the long front, the
Russians are in excel1ently fortified
positions. which are very hard to cap
ture. Under these circumstances the
operations of the allied Austro-Hun-
garian and German troops are slowed
up in spite of their greatest efforts
Successes which are achieved in turn
by both sides have only local signifi-
canoe.
"Speculations concerning far-seeina
plans are idle. AS long as natural
obstacles prescribe the conduct Of the
war on both sides, We must be salts
fled If we succeed in forcing the Rus
slams back step by step out of the
mountains borders and simultaneously
repel their attempts to break through
into Hungary"

contracting business with the object
Of putting the public in possession OF
all the details connected with the
award of any contract for bridge or
building in any city or county of the
state have been introduced by Sem

be published within 20 days after the
contract has been awarded, together
with explanations in the case that a
contract is not given to the lowest
bidder.

WILSON IS firm
President Will Call an Extra
Session of Congress
Unless the Ship and ApprOprf-
alton Bills Are Passed.

Washington, Feb. 10.-President
Wilson today definitely decided to call
an extra session of congress on March
8, If the senate filibuster on the ship
purchase bill continues. He will call
the special session both for appropria-
ton bills which fail and to make an
other attempt to force through the
ship bill in the next congress.
The presidents decision to call an
extra session, if the senate filibuster
continues, was reached at an early
conference today with Democratic
Leader Underwood and senate leaders.
1t was stated that the president
would not consent to drop the fight
for the ship bill either in the present
or next session. Another plan dis
cussed at the White House conference
was for immediate introduction for
passage in the house Of the Gore sub
stitute ship purchase bill with the
amendment favored by the Progress
sive- e-Republican senators.
A definite decision on this plan was
not reached.
House leaders said there was a ma
jority of from 26 to 80 in favor of the
legislation in the present house but
admitted prospects of such a bill in
the next house. with a greatly reduced
Democratic majority, was doubtful.
A proposition to tack the shipping
bill already passed by the senate and
now pending before the house was
considered by the president.
The Weeks bill provides for use of
certain naval vessels for commercial
purposes in times of peace.

FEES FOR WHOM?
Resolution in Senate to Draw
Up Bill of Settlement.
Close Controversy Over Right
to State Collections.

The controversy over the legality of
the collection of certain fees for their
personal benefit by the treasurer and
auditor Of state, which figured in the
last political campaign. has reached
the senate in the form of resolution
adopted today under which special
committee has been instructed to re-
port.

ators Bowman, Price of Clark, King,
Mahin and Trott, is instructed to ad-
wise the senate as to the exact status
of the fee controversy and to propose
a law which will effectually prevent

However" Mr.. Catlin said, ''if the

expect to boost 1t in every way and
will do everything possible to make it
a success. We will lend our support
to the management in every way and
will work for 1t just as enthusiastica1>

we will not do as we have in the past
is to go down into our pockets and
give our own money to keep the team
