A COAT OF WHITEWASH

Applied to Superintendent Hitchcock by
the State Board of Charities.
The state board of charities (exce pting
Mrs. Lease) today announced their deci-
sion in the examination Of Superinten-
dent Hitchcock of the state reform
school.
Whereas, a complaint was upon the
18th day of April, 1894, filed with Gov.
l. d. Lewelling agains Superintendent
Hitchcock of the reform school, and was
by the governor referred TO our board FOR
investigation. Said complaint was duly
verified and signed by d. T. Jones and
E. w. Justus.
The board on the 23d of April pro-
ceeded to examine into the charges after
due notice to all parties interested. The
compliments were represented by their
attorney Noah Allen and uperintendent
Hitchcock by his attorney, John Madden
of Emporia and Senator III. B. Kelley of
Lawrence.
The examination continued until May
4th and fair and full investigation was
had After hearing all the evidence on
each side and arguments of counsel, the
board do find as follows, to-wit:
That that the charges Of inattention to
his duties misconduct and inetficiency
against Supt E. G. Hitchcock of the
State Reform school, are not sustained
by the evidence.
NJ. A. HOUSEHOLDER, Chairman.
n. NJ. HINSHAW, Secretary.
w. S. WATT, Treasurer.
WALTER n. ALLEN.
State Board of Charities.
Noah Allen closed his argument at
o'clock yesterday afternoon and the
board met after supper and decided to
retain Hitchcock superintendent.
Noah Allen was seen by a JOURNAL re-
porter.
sWhat do you think of the decision.
Mr.. Allen?" he asked
''Well, it is no more than expected
replied Mr.. Allen, ''but they will hear
from me again in the matter. l intend
to pour hot shot into them all along the
line"
His plans as yet are not made public
1t is understood that he will demand an
investig CATION. by the governor, though moi
expecting TO get one. In regard to this
he said:
81 hardly think it would do any good,
for, from the fact of the governors not
paying any attention to a letter l sent him
asking that the superintendent be re-
lieved from office pending the investiga-
ton, and not even dignifying it with
much as an answer, ] do not think L
could get fair treatment"
Mrs. Lease says that she declined to
vote because she had not heard the evil
dence. The board however, attempted
to use her name which she says she ex-
pressly forbid

Legislative Work.
Attempts to Excuse His HypO-
crisy and Secret Sin.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 5.-The recep-
ton to be rendered to Colonel W. {.
Breckenridge at the opera house today,
is the one absorbing topic of conversa-
tiOn. Several hundred friends of tie
congressman from other parts of the dis
trict arrived on the early trains this
morning, and the town presents an ap-
pearance of unusual hustle. The event to-
night, which has been arranged by some
OF his personal and political friends, will
partake largely of the nature of u public
reception, but his address in reply Will
be virtually the opening of his campaign
for reelection to congress, and will deal
almost entirely with the political issues
of the district. If he makes any allusion
whatever to the recent trial it will be
tP take the ground that his per-
charged against his public
record or against the years of
interchangeable service he has rendered
both to his district and to the country 1t
large from his seat in congress 1t is
thought by Col. Breckinridge's friends
that before his personal campaign is far
advanced the opposition to his renomina-.
tion by memb bers of mis- own party will
give way before his magnetism, and the
charm of his OratOry.
Lexington is crowded with the parti-
sans of Col. w. c. p. Breckinridge who
have gathered from all over the Ashland
district to give the opening OF his can
vasS for denomination a greater spectac-
ular send off at his own home.
The meeting is at the opera house at
O'Clock and preparations have been
made to seat 1000. Many of those who
will attend are opposed to the renomina-
ton of the late defendant at Washington
but it is expected there will not be any
hostile demonstration.
Isreckinridgs's Address.
Colonel Breckinridge's speech was
in congress, beginning with the first cleo
ton OF Cleveland. and he pointed out
that no man in the Democratic party had
taken more advanced ground on the
tariff question or done more to unity the
party on economic measures.
He replied to the claims of his oppo-
nents that he is a flowery orator, but not
4 practical statesman, by reciting with
great particularly his labor commit
tees and on the floor of congress.
The concluding portion of his speech
was devoted to the scandal and the oppo-
sitiOn to his nomination moral
grounds He denounced and defied
those who are asSailing him in the news
papers and says he Will vindicate himself
to his devoted friends and confound
those who seek to betray his usefulness.
This personal address differed from
other published utterances since the trial
IN one important feature. Responding
to the charge of hypocrisy in taking a
leading part in religious and moral
movements, while living a double life,
he says he was all this time making
atOnement for secret sin which he
dared not confess and doing everything
in his power to keep others from follow
ing in his footsteps.

MIR. HARRIs0N'S LIQUOR.
Students at Stanford University Object

students at Stanford University Object
to Paying for Wine He Drank
SAN FRANCISCO. May 5.-Ex-President
Harrison left trouble behind him at the
Stanford university. The student body
is full of woe. The professors are dis
rrbed- The servants are under sus-
picion. All this was not caused by the ex-
presidents lectures on international and
constitutional law. but the liquor which
he drank and did not drink while quar-
tered at the college.
But it was not so much the drinking
which General Harrison did at PaIo
Alto, as that which he hoped to do but
did not, which brought woe into Encina
nall When the ex-president came to
the university loudly heralded and warm
ly welcomed he was assigned to quarter
in Encina hall.
Encina hall is a sort of boarding house,
with rules and regulations and guar
alitee fund made up of an assessment of
81 levied upon each boarder. The guaran-
tee fund is for the purpose of providing
Tor the payment of furniture broken by
any of the boarders. One of the strictest
rules governing Encina hall is that un-
der no circumstances shall liquors or
cigars be taken into the building. and
the students were at once informed that
they would be justified in throwing out
of the window any one breaking it.
But x-President Harrison, not being
a prohibitionist, broke the rule and, be-
ing a large person, politically consid-
cred, was not thrown out of the window.
1t Is said that Mrs. Stanford herself sent
him some rare wines and choice liquors.
He also provided himself literally with
other wines and liquors and also some
choice cigars by the ordinary means of
bargain and sale.
But somewhere in Encina hall there is
at least one person not respector of the
liquid rights of ex-presidents, who are
also professors of constitutional law.
Some one stole part of Gen. Harrison's
liquor and portion of his cigars. Now
an effort is being made to force the stu
dents of Encina hall to pay for that sto-
len tipple which was valued at $50 and
therein lies all the trouble.
That ex- President Harrison should not
suffer in purse he was reimbursed and
the students of Encina hall were taxed
to make good the amount. But
the students did not suffer and they
have not learned chow sublime thing
it is to suffer and be strong," so they
kicked. The money was to be taken
from that guarantee which they had de-
posted to insure the repairs of furniture,
whisky not being furniture unless in in
ternational law.
They could not see just the connection
of their fund and the liquor brought
against the law of the hall. They are
loud in their protest the college paper
has taken up the fight and peace is afar
off

EMPoRIA, Kan, May -5.-The hail
storm and water spout of last night was
not so severe in this city as thought dur
ing the alarm, but at Reading, ten miles
northeast of this place considerable dam
age was done.
The hail was SO forcible that in one
instance some went through shutter,
windowpane and heavy curtain. Lots
Of them went through the roofs, some of
the chunks of ice measured II inches
in length. Some cattle were killed and
most of the herds stampeded- The herd
of David Nickel got on the railroad
track and as it was storming very hard,
a stock train ran through the herd and
killed several steers.
All kinds of crops, gardens and fruit are
ruined. One man who was out in the
storm has not been found yet. His name
is Marshal Welsh.
At Lebo, in the northern part of Coffey
county, the Baptist church and the dwell
ling houses were blown down and a wO-
man named Mrs. Cochran badly hurt

PENCE MAKES A STIR
In the Coxey Trial Today at
Washington.
Mr.. Pence Said the Judge Was
Helping Prosecution.
MOVED TO DISMISS CASE
But the Judge Overruled the
Motion.
Progress of the Other. Coxey
Detachments.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 5.-There was
a falling off in the attendance of con-
gressmen in the trial of commonweal
leaders, which was resumed in Judge
Miller'5 police court today. Representa-
tive Sibley, of Pennsylvania, had seat
within the bar. After Officer Law, of
the police force, had told him Browne
and Coxey ran across the grass of the
shrubbery and were arrested, James
H. Forsythe, a clerk in the district sur
veyor's office. tried to point out upon a
map of the city where the capitol
grounds lie, but the attorneys for the de-
fense made objection that it was not
competent.
After considerable argument he was
permitted to state what, upon hearsay, he
thought were the boundaries of the
ground.
Judge Miller recalled Officer Law and
asked him several questions
Representative Pence arose and cre-
ated something of a sensation by declar-
ing that it was evident the court was en-
dedvoring to help the prosecuting officers
out of hole from which they had shown
absolute incapacity to lift themselves.
''Can you show any impropriety in the
questions?" asked the judge.
Il can object that the questions are
absolutely improper and misleading"
responded Mr. Pence
Judge Miller responded with consider
able show of warmth that it was his
privilege and sworn duty to elicit all the
facts in the matter.
Mr.. Pence asked some questions of the
officer, and it was shown that although
he was recorded as the complainant in
the case, he had not entered any COM
plaint. He could not tell how it hap
pened that charges of disorderly conduct
and assault had been entered against
Browne and Afterwards withdrawn.
The officer denied that Browne had
been dubbed, ard when he was asked
whether Browne had not been roughly
used, the judge said that was not in the
case. sss
Several members of the police force
testified to the events preceding the
rest of the three defendants, and the
prosecution having closed, Congressman
Pence moved to have the case dismissed
on the ground of insufficient evidence.
Judge Miller overruled the motion,
and to give the lawyers for the defense
an opportunity to consult, he adjourned
the court until Monday.

Mr.. J. w. Ady in regard to the

senator while his contest case is pending

There is rule or statute emitting
the contestant for a seat in the United

any other amount Such a contestant is
not even entitled to the privileges of the
floor of the senate. Neither has there been
any allowance of 81, OO0 or any other
amount to me for prosecuting this case. L
have thus far paid every dollar of ex-
pense connected with the same out of

BANK TAX DECISION.
The Supreme Court Acts ON the Cloud
County Case.

The supreme court today reversed the
decision of the Cloud county district
court in granting an injunction against
the collection of bank taxes. The Citi-
zens' national bank of Concordia secured
an Injunction against the collection of
taxes by the county clerk on the
ground that the indebtedness of the
bank should be deducted from the
value of the stock and only the differ
ence be subject to taxation. The court
holds that all money of whatever char
acter, corporate stocks and Tnoneyed
capital of every description are subject
to taxation without deduction for in
debtedness.
There was another case of the same
character from Concordia and another
from Garnett.

The Supreme Court Decides That 1T /
Need Not Dome.


Need Not Be Done.
The supreme court today handed down
a decision denying a peremptory writ of
mandamus to compel the Dodge City,
Montezuma s. Trinidad railway COM
pany to replace its track and operate its
road. The road is twenty six miles long,
extending from Dodge City to Montezu-
ma It has never paid expenses, and
the road has been partially torn up and
the road abandoned. The Rock Island
for time operated the road, but finding
it would not pay operating expenses
they abandoned it.
The promoter of the road, A. T.. Soule,
expended over 100000 in building the
road, but it was never operated under the
original management. Soule wasted
piles of money in western Kansas.
