Governor Savage has no faith In rain
makers. Yesterday a man with an "Im
proved method" called at tho cxecutlvo
ofllce to solicit a contribution ot 15.000 to
an Interstate ralnmaklng fund and the
governor, after listening to the story, vol
untarily agreed to drink all the rain he
could produce.
"I wouldn't walk across the street for all
tho rain theso men could make," declared
tho governor today. "I know something
nbout rain and tho conditions which pro
duce moisture You can go into a room
nnd with chemicals produce a shower ot
water, but enough chemicals to make an
Inch of rnln over one acre of ground would
tost over $400,000."
The man who called on the governor and
asked for the contribution was Ilov. W. J.
I'ylo, pastor of tho Ilarlani Place Meth
odist Kplscopnl church, St. Louis. He said
his method consisted In tho use of ex
plosives and chemicals and he declared that
(or $20,000 he could bring down a liberal
shower of water over tho states of Ne
braska, Knnsas, Missouri and Iowa. He
told Governor Savngo tho Kansas City
Hoard of Trade, tho St. Louis Chamber of
Commerco and tho governors of Kansas
and Missouri bad his proposition under ad
visement and that several thousand dollars
hnd already been subscribed.
Governor Savage gave the rainmaker no
encourogemcnt. Mr. I'ylo talked with sev
eral citizens concerning his proposition,
but as tho subscription was not forthcom
ing he- left on an evening train for Dei
Moines, wliero ho will attempt to interest
the Iowa state authorities la his plan.
Tho Convict Tranaferred.
On recommendation of tho Medical Ex
amining board Governor Savago has or
dered two convicts transferred from the
penitentiary, ono to the Hospital for In
curable Iusano at Hastings and tho other
In tho Hospital for Insane near this city.
They aro John Taylor, serving life sen
tenen for murder committed In Lancaster
county, and Estclla Wurzburg, serving a
IH'u years' sentence for shooting with In
tent to kill in Dakota county. Taylor will
bu sent to Hastings and the other convict
' Lincoln asylum.
Tho removal of theso two convicts will
1 under a law pasBod by the last legis
lature, which authorizes tho governor, upon
ho recommendation ot tho warden and th
ilcdlcal Examining board, to transfer any
Insane convict to one of tho state hos
pitals. Tho board met yesterday and ex
amined tho two convicts and today tho
findings were approved by tho governor.
