Another Attendant of the Insane Asylum
Guilty of Gross Negligence.
The troubles at the state insane asy-
lum, under Dr. J. H. McCasey, continue.
The latest affair was piece of negli-
gence Of James Stewart, an attendant.
who last Saturday night allowed one of
the insane patients in his ward TO get
possession Of his keys.
In all asylums the strictest rules are those
concerning the keeping of the keys: but
late Saturday night Ed Harr, an insane
man, got Attendant Stewards keys. and
it was several hours afterwards that the
night watchman got the keys away from
the crazy man, without anything serious
having happened
Stewart was a favorite with DR.
McCasey and he was "allowed to resign
without an investigation and is now
probably on his way to Clarinda, Iowa, to
get another job on Dr. McCasey's recon-
mendation.
A few weeks ago Stewart abused an
aged insane man because he did not un-
derstand what he wanted when he told
him to put his slippers on. Steward hit
the old man on the head with the Slip
pers aud when complaint was made about
the affair he was transferred to another
ward

MAY NOT Be WAITE.
Colorado POpulist Convention
In Session at Pueblo.
The Anti-Waite Forces Are
Hard at Work.
THEY WON ONE POINT.
Hour for Meeting Postponed in
Their Interests.
Unless Waite is Nominated on
the First Ballot,
The Impression Is He Will Not
be Named.

PUEBLO, Colo, Sept. 4-The hour for
the meeting of the Populist state con-
vention has been changed from - o'clock
until 2 o'clock, by order of DIR. Coleman,
chairman of the state central committee.
This action was taken in the interest of
the anti w ate forces. which are being
marshaled by Thomas M. Patterson
Gov Waite's rooms, like the Patterson
headquarters, are constantly thronged
with delegates. The anti Waites lack a
candidate for governor. Congressman
Pence and Judge Bailey of Can
on City are most prominently
mentioned, but neither is inclined
to make contest against Waite. Should
the governor not be nominated on the
first ballot. he will not be nominated at
all a many delegates who are pledged
to him admit he cannot be elected.
A proposition has been made to Waite
to accept the Endorsement of the con-
vention as the Populist candidate for
United States senator in lieu of re-
nomination. The governor has not yet
replied to this suggestion. There is
likely to be a prolonged contest over the
organization of the convention.

JUDGES AND PASSES.
Judge HaZen Doesn't Ride Free
on Railroads.
He Returns the Passes When
Sent to Him.
A ROCKS co. JUDGE
Rides on a Pass But DOes't Be-
lieve In 1t.
Thinks Judges Should Hold q
Conference on the Subject

Judge z. T. Hazen of the Shawnee
county district court does not ride on
passes. The railroads all sent passes to
him and he sent them back.
Judge Hazen intends that his court
shall be above suspicion and believes in
avoiding the very appearance of evil"
When Il STATE JOURNAL reporter asked
him if he rides on railroad passes Judge
Hazen said: Il have no passes"
''Have the railroads ever offered you
any passes" asked the reporter
'.Yes; all the railroads sent me passes.
but 1 sent them back"
s'Then you pay your railroad fare
when you travel, do yOu?'
Eyes, / pay regular railroad fare when
ever 1 ride on any of the roads"
"What do you think about the pass
business, anyway, Judge Hazen?"
q don't think much about it When I
went on the bench / knew there was
good deal of feeling against judges ac-
cepting and using railroad passes, and
made up my mind that wouldn't accept
any passes, so when they were sent to me
I Immediately sent them back"
Judge Charles W. Smith, who resides
at Stockton, Rocks county, and presides
over the Thirty first judicial district
court, came to Topeka to draw his Au-
gust salary and talked to a STATE jour
NAL reporter about the practice of judges
accepting and riding on railroad passes.
My idea" said the judge, s'is that
judges should not accept passes for the
reason that the courts should be above
suspicion. While it is common
practice for judges to accept and
ride on railroad passes. do
not believe they are unduly Influenced
by them unless it is that they are infu-
enced the other way. The fact that a
judge il known to have a pass generally
makes him lean a little against the rail-
roads if anything. Still believe it is a
bad practice for judges to accept passes .
My idea is that all the judges in the
state should get together and agree
among themselves not to accept any
more railroad passes, while the pass busi-
ness might be regulated by legislation,
still think the judges themselves
should have manhood enough to notify
the railroads that they can't accept any
more passes even as a matter of cOurtesy.''

Considerable Evidence that the Forest
Fires Were Set by Men Wanting Work
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. A. Dispatches
from the upper peninsula of Michigan
show that the rainfall in that region yes
terday and last night has effectually put
a stop TO the forest fires and viii
be the means of saving millions of feet
of pine and lots of homesteaders'
crops and houses. The damage already
done, however, is immense and in many
localities total loss can only be avoided
by the Immediate cutting of timber.
There is considerable evidence that
many of the fires were of incendiary
origin, set by men who knew that the
scorched pine would have to be cut at
once, thus giving them work. The fires
will also force into the market much pine
that was. held by nOn-logging capitalists
for the purpose of speculation.
At any rate hundreds Of men will be
given Immediate employment 1t is

pine in OntagnOn county is burned

FORGED VOUCHERS.

A Sensation Created In the State Audit
Or's once.
There is considerable excitement in
the state auditors Office today over the
discovery of a forged voucher, and an
lnvesti CATION is now in progress which it
the state treasury of several hundred
dollars.
Last Saturday P. A. Mcpherson of
North Topeka who runs employment
agency on Kansas avenue presented at
the auditors office four vouchers for SO
each for the services of assistant SER
geant-at-arms OF the Republican branch
of the last legislature.
Each of the assistant sergeants-at-arms
serving during the legislative war was
allowed 50 for his services. but a large
number of men who served in that ca
pacity never claimed their fees. Many
others assigned their claims to other
parties.
Mcpherson who is a notary public
has presented for payment and re-
ceived 80 each on fifteen different
vouchers the correctness of the signature
on each one being sworn to by him.
Saturday he presented four vouchers
in favor or E. w. Po5ndexter of Topeka,
J. II. Moore of HoltOn, ]. II. E Vie
CANT of Leavenworth. and Elmer May of
hutchinson
Bert Brewster, an employe in the
1A4AbOA > OAANCS II a POA5@A0A AAACAA ~
Elmer May. and he happened to
remember that May had drawn his 50
some time last year. He thought there
must be something wrong, and he at
once wrote to Mr.. May asking him about
the matter. Today letter was received
from Mr.. May, in which he said he drew
his 50 in 1898, and had no further
claim against the state and that if
his name was signed to a voucher
of that kind it ia q forgery and he hoped
the forger would be hunted down and
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law.
This afternoon an employe of the
auditors office called on Mr.. Poindexter
who pronounced the signature purport-
ing to be his, forgery as he was in
Indiana August 25th, the day the voucher
purPorted TO have been signed
All of these vouchers were properly
made out and signed by Frank L Brown.
chief clerk of the Repu ublican house and
the forgery is simply on the signature of
the persona to whom the claims are due.
There are still about one hundred of
these vouchers unpaid and the discovery
of the crookedness at this time will
probably save the state several hundred
dollars
Mcpherson may not have forged the
names of these men, but as a notary pub
lie he attested to the correctness of their
signatures and he will be held respOn-
sible
He has not yet been arrested, but the
matter has been placed in the hands of
the attorney general.
