THE LATE SCOTT T. JONES

Oakland has been doubly unfortunate
in recent months through the visitation
of the Grim Reaper, but no citizen will
be more universally missed than our
late friend Mr.. Scott 7. Jones, whom to
know was to love for those traits of
character than made him man in the
broadest term of its application. For
more than quarter of century The
Republican enjoyed his condolences and
now since he is gone to his "place of
habitation" to last through all eternity,
his words of admonition, his many acts
of sheer kindness, his ability to advise,
always rightly and conscientiously, will
remain pleasant memory. 1t was an
honor to have the friendship of such a
man.

Look at that, ye thirsty ones of
earthl Behold it! See its purity
How it glitters, as if a mess of liquid
gems! 1t is a beverage that was
brewed by the hand of the Almighty
himself. Not in the simmering still

Gus gases and surrounded by the
stencil of sickening odors and rank
corruption, doth our Father in heaven
prepare the precious essence of life,
the pure cold water; but in the
green glade and grassy dell, where
the red deer wanders and the child
loves to play-there God brews it.
And down, down in the deepest val
leys, where the fountains murmur
and the rills sing; and high upon
the tall mountain tops, where the
native granite glitters like gold in
the sun, where the storm clouds
brood and the thunders crash; and
away, far out on the wide sea, where
the hurricanes howl music and the
big waves roll the chorus her
aiding the march of God-there He
brews it. that beverage of life.

GRAB AUTO THIEVES
The Police Have Been Engaged in q
Roundup This Week.

Following issue of a warrant by the
county attorney Monday for II. T.
Hamm on charges that Hamm stole
two auto tires from the rear end of
Richard Halls car last week, two
more warrants for persons alleged by
the police to be connected with auto
thefts in Topeka recently were issued
today by Robert Carver, assistant
county attorney. The warra nts issued
today were for Sam williams and
Walter Brown, an automobile driver.
The police claim that Williams, Brown
and Hamm formed a sort of an al
lance in connection with the thefts.
Evidence that an organized gang of
peka was obtained by the police Mon
day night.
Last Wednesday night the Kinley
Ford agency garage was entered and
six new auto tires and a Ford radiator
were stolen. The same week the two
tires were stripped from the rear end
of Halls car. Judge Ferry of the
law firm of Ferry, Doran and Dean
reported to the police this morning
that pair of auto drivers fine gloves
had been stolen out of his car the
same night of the Hall robbery while
his car was standing across the street
from Halls.
This morning w. H. Saunders of
North Topeka. a driver for the Amer
lean Express company. appeared in
an affidavit at Garver'S request
whereby ne stated that Brown sold
him the radiator which was stolen
from kinley's garage. Saunders gave
other evidence that was responsible
for the Williams warrant.

RATE CASE OPENS TO-DAY.
Public. Utilities Commission Hearing
H. u. Request for Higher Rates.

Another session of the long drawn
ont passengers rate case is being heard
before the public utilities commission
The passenger rate case has been
before the public utilities commission
since November. 1914. Several hear
ings have been held but the commits
sion has made no indication as to the
time when a decision will be an
nounced. For nearly a year it has
been generally understood that Joseph
L. Bristow and members Of the COM
mission would hold the case in abey-
auce until some time during the early
stages of the campaign.
The railroads are asking fifty per
cent increase in intrastate passenger
rates. The commission may order a
smaller increase or refuse to grant an
a.dVauce in existing rates. In that
vent. it is probable tho railroads will
t7lce their troubles 10 the courts.
Recently seven Kansas railroads.

neutrality, apparently has left the
United States for Mexico with the in
tention of launching a new revolution
against the CarranZa de facto gov

Gals here indicates that he hopes to

To Meet Other Leaders.
Diaz left New Orleans Friday for
Havana, where several MeXicanS
whose names have been associa ted
with his in reports of a revolutionary
movement, were understood to be
awaiting him. Teodoro' Dehesa, a
former governor of Vera Cruz, and
General Aurelianion Banquet, war
minister under Huerta, were reported
to be among them. Although Diaz
eluded the federal agents detailed to
watch him, department of justice Of
ficials said tonight that since no evil
dence warranting his arrest had been
found and as he left the country, &C
cording to reports, as a private citizen
of Mexico and not as leader of any
organized revolutionary movement.
nothing probably could have been
done to detain him.
OaXaca, where Diaz is expected to
launch his movement, is the only
state that has held aloof during the
fighting of the past two years.
Alverez in Denial.
San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 29.--Ac-
aareling to G.SP. -Alverez, who recently
issued a statement for the cientificos
junta here to the effect that this party
or ia ction had abandoned all idea of a
revolution in Mexico, Felix Diaz has
left Santiago de Cuba for Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, and will return to the
United States in a few weeks.
General Diaz owns extensive inter-
ests in Brazil, investments he made
several years ago. said AlvereZ, and
there need be no fear of his contem-
plating heading activities in Mexico.
He has not been here for several
months and we have evidence of his
being at Santiago dc Cuba within ten
days IN the form of a message from
him in which he stated he would sail
in a few days for Rio de Janeiro."
