The Police Sergeant Not Reappotntod by
the Police Board.
The Topeka board Of police commits
sioners met last night as prescribed by
law, and reelected most of the old po-
licemen.
Chairman Whiting and Commissioner
Krauss, composed the board at last
nights session, as Commissioner Yount
is sick at his home in Lowman Hill
As predicted in last nights JOURNAL,
Sergeant Henry Steele was not reap
pointed, and the commissioners announce
that his appointment is simply withheld
pending an investigation.
Officer Capron was reappointed as the
commissioners are determined to keep
him on the force for political effect
They excuse his reelection by saying
North Topeka people demand his reten-
tion, as he is one of the few men who
can control the toughs of Redmon-
vile. 1t is understood, however, that
the commissioners would readily drop
Capron if they could do so consistently
with the fight they have made in his be-
half.
Officers L. j. Darr, c. Whitney and ID.
E. Carruthers were not reelected, al
though it is understood that Carruthers'
reappointment is simply withheld pend
ing an investigation.
The commissioners refuse to say why
they did not re-elect the other two OH
GERS, but it is understood that Darr leans
be satisfactory to the administration.
Darr says he always was a Republican
until two years ago, he was at the pri-
mary to vote the Republican ticket when
his vote was challenged and he then
voted the Populist ticket for spite.
The old officers, with the exception Of
those named, were reelected and L. S.
Davis, who has been acting as a special
policeman, was made a regular patrol
man.
Four special patrolmen were placed on
the roll for temporary use in patrolling
the western part of the city, and two
men were named as specials subject to
the call of the chief, who will be in line
of promotion to regular places on the
force.
Officer Dagg will act as night sergeant
pending the investigation of Officer
Steele.

OVER ROCKY ROADS.
COxey's Commonweal Starts
Across the Mountains.
Thousands of Coke Workers
Watch It's Departure.
MARCHERS NUMBER 800
Another Branch TO Start From
Faneuil Hall
The Western Industrial Army
Still at Ogden.
MARCHERS NUMBER 800

UNIONTOwN, Pa, April 1.-THE de-
parture of the commonweal< for the
mountain trip was made at noon. The
line was well formed and a noticeable
feature was the fact that seven of the
men who deserted Tuesday night re-
joined the columns. There were 300
men in line. The stop tonight will be
near Chalk Hill, eight miles. Scenes of
bedlam occurred in UniontOwn last night.
With the Jail filled with coke workers
who are said to be implicated in the saw
age murder of Chief Engineer Paddock,
strikers who are not in the best of humor,
it was feared that the city would be given
up to a night of bedlam. The alarm
was realized to some extent soon after
dark, when commonwealers and coke
drawers got into a drunken brawl in
front of the McClelland hotel. Officers
were hurriedly summoned and two of
the warriors who had become the worse
for liquor were taken to the crowded
Jail.
When the army started out today there
workers in toFn who saw it for the first
time.
With the staff officers we'll grouped
behind the drummers and fifers, and
with their banners flying at the head of
each commune, the crusaders tramped
over the miserable pavements with no
more friendly greeting to break upon
their ears that the universal exclamation
of, ''Well, for Gods sake!"
There was no cheering. The wretched
and forlOrn appearance of the men stilled
the nOices of the strikers, who had come,
it is believed, to jeer the common veal

Judge Bradley Stands 1t as Long
as He Can,
And Then Orders the Specta-
tors Out.
ENOUGH OUTRAG ES
Had Been Committed in That
Court.
Phil Thompson Afraid Miss Pol
N lard Might Shoot.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Col. Phil
Thompson finished his speech today
against Madeline Pollard.
"She was walking arsenal" said the
lawyer again. Talk about Kentucky
colonels, and the turning up coat tails
here in this court house to see if there
were pistols. Did you see that look on
that woman's face when she came into
the court house. Why, l was afraid to
sit beside the colonel for fear a stray
bullet might hit me-"
Major Butterworth, whose mild man
ner is in great contrast of his colleague,
began his remarks by expressing gratiti-
cation that this trial must soon be brought
to an end. Upon those who were to blame
for bringing it before the public, the
burden must rest.
There was no wrong to be righted by
this suit. Even to save the lives of the
two nominal principals, the incorruptable
judiciary of the country could not afford
10 deal with such a mass of contagion,
nor should the hearthstones of the cOun-
try have been invaded by it for any pur-
pose. He would not use harsh lam
guage to Miss Pollard, but he would that
some had whispered into her ear the
words the Master had said: "Go and sin
no more"
Some people had been solicitous for
fear his (Butterworth's) had been mis-
placed.
He had known the defendant and as a
statesman, soldier and friend. and you
may speed it on the lightnings that to
whom Ben Butterworth was friend in
the days of his prosperity he will not
turn his back in adversely. This
statement was followed by outbreak
of applause from the spectators.
Judge Bradley leaned forward and
raped his desk.
Now you may clear the court room, y
he said to the bailiffs. 1--WE have had
enough of outrages in this court room. =
+ No one stirred and the judge said:
Every one who is not a member of the
bar will have TO leave the court room
Several men got up and started out,
when one elderly spectator inquired
"Does that apply to members of the bar
from away; L am lawyer from New
York.
Il take it for granted no attorney would
disgrace a court with such demonstra
tions. All lawyers from outside the city
are welcome here. But there are others
sitting here that are not members of the
bar to my knowledge"
More men were ushered out by the
bailiffs. but more than half the spectators
remained.

COKE WAR on AGAIN.
Scenes of Riot and Destruction Renewed
in PennsyIvaniM Today.

Scenes of Riot and Destruction Renewed
in Pennsylvani@ Today.
UNIONTowN, Pa, April 11.-War has
begun again in the coke region and the
situation today is most critical. Rioting
and raidinC have been the programme
400 strikers assembled at 7:39 today at
the Youngstown works of the III. G.
Frick company near here. About sixty
coke drawers were in the pit when at
given signal, the strikers swooped down
upon the plant from every direction.
The workers fed for shelter to the
company's store, which was guarded by
only six employees. The 400 Hungarians
demanded that the workmen be given
up. This was refused at first, but after
several attacks the workmen were given
up. They were treated to all sorts Of
insults and some of them beaten with
clubs.
Sheriff Wilhelm was notified at once
and started for the scene of trouble. The
rioters had left for the Leisenring's, tax
ing the Youngstown workers with them.
The sheriff gave chase with twenty
deputies, overlook the mob and ordered
them to disperse. The leader of rioters
answered them they were on the public
highway and had equal rights with the
sheriff.
A deputy took charge of one of the
men when the strikers surrounded the
posse and forced the authorities to give
up the man. The sheriff's force then fell
back and the strikers continued the
march toward Leisenring. Twenty more
deputies have left here to join Sheriff
Wilhelm. Trouble is inevitable as the
strikers are all armed.
AT Youngstown, it is said an attempt
was made to shut off the air from the
mine, which would have resulted in suf-
location and death for the workers.
Two Hundred Coopers Strike.
ST. LOUIS, April 11.-AIl the coopers
In the city, some 200 or more, went on a

ssWON'T WORK, so STARYE.
The Condition of Unemployed in Aus
traIia is Recoming Desperate.

VANCOUVER, B. c., April Ill The
latest flies of the Australian papers re-
ceived by the steamer Arawa, contain
little else than sensational accounts of
burglaries and labor troubles. In all the
colonies the burglars have organized
themselves into a standing army, and in
Sidney and Melbourne they have been
making night sorties-
In New South Wales, South Australia
and Victoria last month, 337 burglars
were captured red handed and brought
to justice. John Mckay, 80 years old of
Melbourne, shot and killed burglar
who broke into his store. Twenty three
burglars were reported shot by house
holders.
The unemployed in South Australia
and Victoria are becoming desperate.
They appealed to Premier Patterson and
Sir George Dibbs in deputations of over
thousand. Dibbs replied: Don't come
bothering me; / have kept you long
enough You will not break stone for n
living; then starve." The deputation re-
turned to the city and camped in the
park. They were ordered off and on re-
fusing to move, over hundred were put
in prison.
