A REVIEW
Of the Penitentiary Scandal and the
Governors Action in Connection
with the Affairs.
Warden Chase Accused Of Stealing Pub
lie Funds and an Investigation Asked
but the Governor Declines to Order
the Investigation as the Law Re.
quires.

On Tuesday, July 81, Gov. Lewelling
promulgated his final decision in the
penitentiary investigation, in which he
declines to take further notice of the
charges preferred against Seth w.
Chase, the warden, by ex-Chief Clerk
Yarroll and ex-AIine Superintendent
Bum. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Yarroll made six distinct charges
and specifications. in brief as follows:
1. That Chase did wilfully and know
ingly take from the appropriation for
boarding moneys, at three different
times, sums aggregating s535.45. and
that he used the same for the purchase
of hogs, and that he refused to make
any recounting, as provided by law.
9. That he collected rebate on the
purchase of 10000 pounds of bacon pur-
chased of Armour &c Co.. of Kansas
City, Kan, and that the records of the
institution make no showing of such
settlement.
3. That Chase placed the name of his
daughter, C. G. Chase, on the pay roll
in the month of May, 1898. as assistant
keeper" contrary to the statutes.
4. That Chase permitted officers of
the penitentiary to take their meals in
the hospital kitchen, and to obtain
from the penitentiary store and butcher
shop, farm and COW barn articles of
food for the use of their families, in
violation of law.
). That Chase appointed a woman of
i'll repute to the position of assistant
matron.
6. That he, at divers times, used
threatening and abusive language. I'M
becoming a gentleman. in his attempts
to coerce the chief clerk.
Mr.. Bum. the ex-mine superintend-
ent, charged Chase with dereliction of
duty in pla cing in charge of the mines
incompetent and inexperienced men,
endangering life and valuable public
property; that John Chase, a son of the
warden, is carried on the rolls as assist
ant engineer. receiving pay for work
performed by others; that he disobeys
the superintendent's orders, writes
notes to convicts in the mine, leaves
his post of duty without the consent of
the superintendent, etc, etc.
The demand for an investigation of
these charges by a legislative commit
tee came from leading populists in all
sections of the state. John w. Breiden-
thai went before Gov. Lewelling and
told him that the statutes plainly pre-
scribed his duty, and that any evasion
upon his part would be condemned by
the people of Kansas.
Wholly disregarding the appeals of
scores of populists who were unwilling
to see the governor whitewash Warden
Chase, the executive, as a mere pre-
tense ordered the board of penitentiary
directors to meet at Lansing and in
vestigate the charges. That meeting
was held and the disgraceful pro-
ceedings which took place have
gone to the people. 1t could more

Good-by, Brer. Kelly. You know the
company you are going into. You
have said heap of mean things about

thought you were a good republican

congressional convention at Lawrence,
July 10, and even later. Whew. Took

WILL PAY FOR IT.
Chairman Breidenthal Proposes to Pay
the Expenses Of Populist Candi-
dates for the Legislature.
Appeals to the People for Money for This
Purpose Already Spent Four
Thousand Dollars and Needs
More Money.

The popu1ist party, which was to b
party of political purity and an enc
my of the spoil system, has forgotten
its original profession as the following
letter which was sent out by John
w. Breidenthal, Chairman Populist
State Central Committee" indicates
Notwithstanding the contributions Of
the state officers and employees of the
state institution and that of the lot
teries and joints of Kansas City, Topeka
and other cities as shown by the affida-
Wits which appear in the public press,
Mr.. Breidenthal is now appealing To
the people in a letter dated July % a
follows:
I'm order to keep up the campaign in
the lines mapped out by the committees
we must have more funds. The COM
mittee has already expended over 81
900. 90, most of which has been contrib
uted by the state officers and employees
We now issue an appeal to our friends
and desire to find one thousand popu-
lists who will contribute $500 each
Will you not be one of this number? III
so send your remittance at once.
The people in the western part OF
the state are unable to contribute any
thing to the campaign fund and in or
der to elect members of the legislature
in that section, the campaign expenses
must be paid by the state committee
We must secure control OF the next
legislature.
I'm order that this letter may not
fall into the hands of the enemy, please
write your reply on the back of this
sheet and return same to me.
John W. BREIDESTHAL,
Chairman State Central Committee"
Mr. Briedenthal proposes to pay the
expenses of the election of the members
of the legislature in the western coun-
ties. This special interest is doubtless
because he is candidate for the United
States senate and populist like he
wants to make sure of his own job and
therefore seeks to elect members Of
the legislature who will favor him for
the United State senate
It will also be observed that he is
very anxious that this letter shoul3
not fall into the hands of the enemy
and that none of them should be circu-
lated even among the populist breth.
rem because it might interfere with his
senatorial ambitions, so he asks that
the reply be written on the back of thu
letter and to be returned to him.

Defending a Bad Lot.

Four columns of the Topeka pop.
Press recently were taken up with
apologies, denials and explanations
concerning the populist administration.
Chapman, you are defending bad lot
If you would be honest and denounce
corruption where you know very well
it exists instead of trying to whitewash
the culprits, You would gain and de-
serve the respect of the people, even
though you have gone wrong.-Law-

SINGING RESOLUTIONS.
A Mass Convention Of the POpullsts Of
Topeka, DenOunce Lewelling and Ask
That His Name Be Taken OF the
Ticket and Reputable Man Substi.
tuted in His Place.

On Monday evening following the
publication of Justice Aliens sensa.
tional letter in the Sunday papers, a
mass convention of populists was held
at the courthouse in the city of Topeka.
After speeches by number of the pop
ulists present, the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas. 1t is well known that the
police departments of the cities of the
first-class, under the direct control of
Gov. Lewelling, are organized to pro-
tect and encourage saloons, joints,
dives and houses of prostitution. and
itis also believed by the residents of
said cities that such encouragement
is given in order that those in author
ity may levy tribute upon those in
charge of such dives and brothels for
their own personal gain, in absolute
disregard of the laws of the state and
public decency and morality. and again
as an evidence of such general belief
we cite the letter of Associate Justice
Allen to Lieut.-Gov. Daniels; therefore,
be it
Resolved, BY the populists of Shaw
nee county, in mass meeting assem-
bled, that we demand that the popu-
list state central committee be called
together and that said committee take
l.. ID. Lewelling off of said ticket, and
that they substitute in his place some
reputable man as the candidate of the
peoples party for governor. Be it fur
Their
Resolved, That the chairman and
secretary of this meeting mail copy
of this resolution to each member of
the state central committee.
