NO MORE GARNISHEE.
Good News to All Santa Fe EN-
p1oyes.
JUDGE CALDWELL so DECIDES

est-PersOna1s and General Notes.

Other Railroad News OF Varied Inter-
est-PersonaIs and General Notes.
The wages of employees of the Santa
Fe are no longer subject to garnishment.
A few months before the Santa Fe
went into the hands of the receivers. an
order was issued signed by General
Manager J. J. Frey, to the effect that any
employe whose wages were garnisheed
as many as three times would be dis
company. This order largely reduced
the number of garnishments for the
time, but since the employees of the COM
pany have been working SO few hours,
their wages do not amount to enough to
meet their obligations and the number
of garnishments has been so largely in
creased that it has for some time taken
the entire time of one man in the trea-
surer's office to attend to that business.
A few days ago the receivers presented
this matter to Judge Henry G. Caldwell,
of the United States circuit court. who
has now issued an order cutting off all
garnishments. In this order he says the
employees of the court who are operating
the Santa Fee will receive the wages
earned by them personally, and that pro-
ceedings to garnishee, from the state
courts will not be recognized.
While this is seemingly benefit to the
employees, yet it will be a hardship to
some whose wages are at this time bare
ly sufficient to supply their families with
the necessaries of life.
Many merchants who are usually will
ing to extend credit to Santa Fe men,
will insist upon a cash basis of trade
when their rights to garnishee the wages
of their customers are cut off.

Hockey Jim" Fusion, colored, one of
the worst criminals that ever committed
a cowardly or vile deed in Topeka. has
returned to his old stamping ground
after brief but exciting sojourns in
Wichita and many other adopted homes
He is as mean as ever and the sharp
dangerous iron hook on the stump of his
right arm is still there and sharp and
dangerous as ever. Jim tried to kill a
man in Wichita a few days ago and
skipped town, SO Chief Cone notified
Chief Lindsey to capture him if he came
here.
evening near the Shawnee mill He had
been drinking alcohol and was feeling
mean. He was a bad man to handle
Donovan ordered Hockey Jim to 'scOme
along" but instead of doing so he raised
the dreadful hook over the SerCeant's
head as though to strike. Jim is strong
as an OK, and the officers hand instinc-
lively went for his revolver. There might
have been serious trouble, but for the
gathering of crowd and with it Officer
Summers. Together they marched Fusion
to the Jail. There Jim became more ugly
and unruly- He made several efforts to
use his hook but the hook was finally
unstrapped and locked up. In court to-
day Fusion was fined SO for being drunk
and disorderly.
Several efforts have been made to get
Jim to quit wearing his hook. 1t is a
deadly weapon. On one occasion he in
serted the hook under the rib of a vic
tim and lifted him off the pavement sew
eral times. Hockey jim" ought to be in
the penitentiary.

THE OLDEN CHURCH FUSS.

Police Judge EnsmIngsr Called to Pass
Upon 1t.
The police court today resolved itself
into an ecclesiastical council to try JEFF
Davis, the colored ssilver tongued ora
tori for heresy, and to hear both sides of
the case, in which Rev. G.. d. Olden, of
the Second Baptist church, is charged
by some of his lambs with appropriating
church funds at Chattanooga, Tennessee.
On Monday night called meeting of
the church was held for the purpose of
talking over finances, and also to talk
over jeff Davis move in circulating
handbills containing the charges against
the pastor. The church was we'll filed
and the meeting had lasted some time
when jeff Davis himself entered, and
took seat near the back door.
There is some argument as to
whether Davis is a member of
the church or not. Some say he is, and
others who side with the pastor in the
quarrel. say he has been expelled for
nom attendance.
Two of the pastors deacons ordered
Davis to get out. but he insisted that he
was member and refused to do so. The
deacons are said to have put him out and
for this Davis had them arrested for
assault They are L. ID. Bradshaw and
III. Edwards. 1t took more than an hour
to try the case and at the end of that
time Moderator Ensminger decided that
the deacons were not guilty of any as
sault and ordered them discharged. If
kicking over the traces is heresy there
appears to be little doubt that J eff Davis
is hereto of the worst stamp.

KEEPING IT DARK.
The Charge of Corruption at the State
PenitentIary.


G. G. Clemens is still fighting for an
investigation of the charges of corrup-
ton at the state penitentiary.
He says he proposes to keep up his
fight until the administration is forced to
investigate, and he thinks it won't be
long until political reasons will force an
investigation.
Governor Lewelling in an effort to get
around the responsibility of an investi-
CATION has referred the charges to the
directors of the institution but as they
are said to be parties to the corruption it
is not likely that any startling revela-
tions will come from that source.

But if these men who are stealing trains
are not willing to work they should be
dealt with by very strong hand.
"The stealing of a train and bringing
stolen property into the state, these
offenses alone, do not constitute any
cause, of. action in a federal court. 1t
belongs to the state courts. In order to
have the case come within the jurisdic-
ton of the federal courts the men must
have interfered with the United States
