Chief BALL Not to Blame.

The action of the aldermen Tin regard
to the moving Of the big engine Wene-
movet was entirely uncalled for at the
meeting Thursday night. Chief Ball
took the Wenemovet out of Casco SIS
house, but it went to the Portland Com
pany for repairs, and is now being paint
ed. This was done by vote OF the COM
mittee on fire department as appears on
their records. Chief Ball merely carried
out the orders tof the committee. Fur
Their than that, the sWenemovet and old
Cumberland are of the Same size and
power, and when Wenemovet was taken
from Casco's house old Cumberland was
put in it's place. The action of the al
dermen. however, amounts to nothing, as
tile order failed of concurrence in the
common council.

OWEN, MOORE & co.
The Worlds Fair Lectures.

DR.. Gunnison lectured at Congress
square church last evening, on the Co
lumbar Exposition. 1t was hard night
for lecture audience, but those who
were present were treated to about a
hundred principal views of the buildings
and objects of interest.
AT City Hall, Mrs. Josephine Nichols
lectured on the same subject. Owing
to the fact that the operator was not the
lecturers regular operator there were
some bitches, but Mrs. Nichols has a fine
collection of pictures, and they have
been well selected. Today, at 10 o'clock,
matinee performance will be given.
This is grand chance for the school

The Senate Investigating
Committee in Session.
JOE HUDSON SEEMS TO Be IN IT.
The BOOdler and the Doodle We're Of the
Regular Republican Brand.

The senate committee appointed to in
vestigRte Joe Hudson's charges against
Fred ]. Close, Attorney General Little
and others, held It's first session in the
senaGe chamber on Thursday, March 16.
The committee is composed Of Senators
King, Forney, billiard, Thacher and
Parker. No witnesses being ready, the
taking Of evidence did not begin until
Friday at 2 p. m, when Hudson was put
upon the stand. While nobody seemeI
to doubt that the sensational charges
made by the Capital were largely fab
rication, it was expected that the windy
editors testimony would be interesting.
For it was natural to presume that some
body had worked the Kansas City crowd,
and it was quite natural to infer that il
any boodling was being carried on the
major would surely be into it. The
theory that he had squealed because he
did not get his share was not altogether
unreasonable. But when he come to tell
his little story it was so thin that the
committee were afraid the bottom would
drop out Of the case before it was fairly
opened. And they were only rewarded
for their perseverance, by the evidence Of
some of the later witnesses, which put q
different shade on the case. After the
ordinary form of oath had been admin-
istered to Major Hudson, Senator Dill
lard opened the examination by asking:
did you write the editorial that sp-
peared in the issue of March 81"
The witness answered that he did and
was then ordered to state why he wrote
it. He continued:
"For weeks prior to the meeting Of the
legislature there had been rumors reach
ing me relative to legislation against the
gambling dens in Kansas City, Kansas.
1t was common talk that this legislation
would be prevented il possible in the in
terest Of these concerns"
Senator billiard asked Mr.. Hudson to
name some person who had mentioned
the rumors to him. He replied that he
could not remember any special persons.
~ did not pay much attention to the
talk" he said. "After Senator Tsylor's
bills were introduced / heard more than
ever. asked Senator Buchan what he
know about it. Il don't know anything
about the methods there / do not know
who is conducting their business here. /
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-03-22

that he had been in Topeka working for
himself and for Cunningham and Mitch
ell; Kline and the other gamblers were
for Sharpe and Miller. Witness knew
Legate, but did not know that he was
mixed up in this affair; had heard that
money was used for legislative purposes
and also that Legate had keptlt.
J. J. M'ALENEY,
the Populist representative from Wyan-
dOtte, did not offer any startling evidence
on Friday "a he was not permitted to di-
gress from the charges made by the
CGpGtaL He had heard that from $1,000
to $4,000 had been raised TO secure the
appointment Of Cunningham, Mitchell
and Pray. He had favored the two frat
named but had afterwsrd changed his
mind and opposed them. He had heard
A. r. Ford say that 1t was not the 4,5O0
paid to Legste that was worrying the
gambling fraternity Of Kansas City, but
they wanted to know what had become
of the other $4,000 they had raised.
When Mr.. McAleney was recalled on
Saturday the questions asked led to
some new and startling evidence, such
as to cause the Doodle editor whose
charges had brought about the investi-
CATION to regard as q reaction. On
being asked il any attempt to bribe him
or buy his vote was made during the
legislature, he replied that there had
been, and his statement was substan-
italy as follows:
II had an offer Of money during the
session and it was from Cyrus Leland.
(Mr. Leland is a prominent republican
Of Doniphsn county and has been hold
ing the position Of revenue collector.)
was asked to meet Mr.. Leland in Room
l6, Keith building, and did so; Leland
spoke Of the situation in the two houses
and told me what the supreme court de-
cision would be, he told me he wanted
my vote to help elect q United States
senator; he said he would give $1,000 for
my vote. told him that it would be
worth more than $1,000, but told him l
would act as stakeholder, and there is
where the serious hitch came in. Ie-
and said there were q number Of promi-
nent politicians whom he could trust
and two bankers in this city, but / don't
know their names. Hs said he couldn'5
Zive me the cash as it would place him
at my mercy. The amount agreed upon
was 5000, but we could not agree upon
the stakeholder. He really offered me
only 1000, but If we could have agreed
On the Stockholders could have got the
5000. I told Leland that the time Ady
wanted it, larger sum had been offered"
In the oross-examinatioh Mr.. McAle-
ney said: "Rossington was the man Le-
land first wanted me to vote for. In the
conversation about the state printer, I
do not know who he was working FOR, but
inferred that it was Hudson. Crane
was the nominee, but there was report
lCOntnalsd on page %
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-03-22

was invited by that ring to take charge
of their business before this legislature,
and told them that / couldn't afford to
do it, he said"
g asked him il he could give me any
information, so that l could get at the
schemes to defeat the legislation. Later
on, after wrote the article, l saw Sens-
tor Buchan again. He said, you seem to
be after them down there. He said that
the job had been SO bunglingly done that
everybody knew about it.
"The night Of the I'd, about 8 o'clock,
Mr.. John Mofitt aAd Mr.. P. HI. Coney
came to my room at the Copeland hotel
and STAGED that they had some informa-
tion that it was important for me to
know"
In reply to Mr.. billiards. question con-
cerning the personality of the men, Mr..
Hudson said that Mofitt is q railroad
man and demo-pop and an Outspoken
friend Of Gov. Lewelling. Coney is q
pension agent in this city.
Mr.. Mofitt stated that he and Judge
Fitzgerald had been to see Gov. Lowell
ling and had related to him certain facts
in regard to efforts of a certain ring of
Kansas City gamblers relating to mis- sp-
pointment and to Legislation, and they
urged him to bring about an investiga-
tion to ward off the disgrace that would
follow publication of the facts. He
said that in and during the conversation
with the governor, he (the governor) &C
knowledged that he knew money had
been paid to parties for legislative pur-
poses. He said the governor did not
state who had paid the money, and
think, he said, that Lewelling knew that
the money had been paid to Legste, but
/ am not sure about that. Coney corro-
borated what Mofitt said. Mofitt said
he was friend Of Lewelling and did not
want to be mixed up in it. He said he
was afraid he was in the hands Of lot
Of men who would ruin him unless he
got out Of the trouble. He also said
that Close and Little were present when
the last 81, 800 was paid. Upon being
made aware Of the contest against Tsy-
lor's bill / drew the conclusions stated
in the editorial"
Mr.. billiard said: "How did you come
to arrive at the figures, 1880?
Mr.. Hudson-"It came to me from
three or four different sources that that
was the amount"
"Mr. Mofitt stated that draft for
$1,000 had been paid to Legate some two
or three weeks prior, and that 81, 800 had
been paid to Legate in the Palace hotel
in North Topeka. No statements we're
made to me by Mofitt or any one else
duplicating Gov. Lswelling in connec-
ton with this transaction"
Thefollowing colloquy ended Hudson's
testimony:
Question-"Did you ever say anything
to Close or Little about the matter?''
Answer No, sir"
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-03-22

"Did you know, except what Mofitt
said, that the charges were trueS"
"No, sir"
"Upon what you have said then you
based your editorisl?"
"Yes, sir"
"Is there anything further you desire
to sayY"
II think not"
Senator King asked the witness il be
had any direct knowledge that Gov.
Lewelling said that money had been
paid, to which he replied as follows:
"Nothing except what was said to me
by Mofitt"
"Have you any knowledge Of the
parties that this money was paid toP"
"Nothing except Legate's word for it. y
The startling developments" Mr.. Hud-
son had talked about in his paper were
as yet not forthcoming, and when he
had finished his hesr-ssy story the
listeners looked tired and Disguised
The next witness to be heard was
J. X. CUBRIsoN.
The representative from the Tenth
district was not in so bad predicament
as his predecessor. He did not pretend
to know so much. He said he was never
offered money for his influence in the in
terest Of any candidates for police COM
missioner, or to effect legislation; had
seen Legate in Kansas City number Of
times lately, but never in company with
Pete Kline, Mr.. Little or Mr.. Close; had
heard the rumor that money was raised
to defeat Taylor's anti-lOttery bill, and
that Kline had collected the money and
pocketed it; did not know that it was
true. Witness thought that as there
were no city ordinances there against
gambling, The gamblers did not care who
was appointed police commissioner.
j. J. McAleney, s. s. King, j. X. P.
Barker and W. T. Quarles, all of Kansas
City, Kas, each testified on Friday, and
Mr.. McAleney's evidence was continued
on Saturday. Mr.. King was Populist
candidate for United States senator. He
did not pretend tc know positively re-
garding the charges. He had met Mr..
Legate once at the latter's request, and
Mr.. Legate had urged the witness to use
his influence to secure the appointment
Of 8. s. Sharpe and g. H. Miller as COM
missioners and to oppose Cunningham
and Mitchell.
Mr.. Barker is chairman Of the Wyan.
dotte county Populist committee. He
said Mr.. Strickland, the democratic
chairman, had offered him inducements
to work in the interest of Mr.. Quarles
for chief Of police. He also had heard
the rumors Of money being raised to get
a board of commissioner who would be
friendly to the gamblers.
Mr.. QuarleS had not been subpenaed
but asked to be put on the stand. He
said he had not authorized any one to
use money in his behalf. He admitted
