GRAND JURY STILL SITS.
Although Judge Hazen Recommends That
They Adjourn

Although Judge EIaze1a Recommends That
They Adjourn
There is an apparent lack of harmony
between Judge y H. Hazen and the grand
jury. Judge Hazen called the jury un-
der protest, and now that the jurors have
completed the fifth week of their session
he thinks they ought to adjourn. The
Judge il powsrless. however. TO do any
thing more than recommend, for the
only way to adjourn grand Jury is for
it to adjourn itself But Judge Hazsn
used his authority to recommend strongly.
When the grand jury filed into the dis
trlct court room late Saturday afternoon,
it was generally supposed that they were
going to announce their adjournment
But such was not the case. When Judge
Hazen found out that was not their pur-
pose he said. "Gentlemen. this court
has no authority to hasten your adjourn
ment, IT is matter that rests entirely
with yourselves. DID this court have the
right L WOuld adjourn you now. or would
have done SO long ago.
"You have now been IN session i've
weeks and it seems to me you have con
sidered everything which required your
Immediate attention y on have no author
ity which is not vested in the county
attorney. Your sessions are costing khe
county about 500 a day. As an officer
1 can say nothing, but AS citizen Of To-
peka and a taxpayer I would suggest
that your labors are completed and that
you should now adjourn"
Judge Hazen further called attention
to the fact that ten indictments In five
weeks had cost $4,000
Juror @. P- Bolmar inquired of the
court if the grand jury could adjourn for
a week or two and then reconvene, in
order to give the mem bers chance to
attend to urgent private business. Judge
Hazen replied that it could not do SO, for
when the jurors accepted their trust
they did so at the risk of sacrifice to per
sOnal considerations Judge Hazen re-
minded the jury also that Ia no event
could il stay in session beyond the end
Of this term of court which viii be early
in January.
The jury retired TO its rooms, and a
motion to adjourn was lost by a vote of
to 10 Z. p. Bolmar repre-
sents the anti journment faction.
He said to JOURNAL reporter
last night. "We consider our oath to do
our full duty paramount to everv other
consideration and we will adjourn when
we have completed everything that is
properly entitled to our attention There
are number of matters still pending be-
fore the jury what they are it would be
violation Of confidence to say. We will
adjourn when there is nothing more for
to do.
Samuel Kerr. foreman. is one Of those
who favor adjourning and going home.
County Attorney IL. O. Stafford says the
jury has a number of cases they want to
investigate further before adjourning.
One of them is in regard to the gambling
house on east Seventh street.

WAsHINGTON. Dec. 10.-Senator PEI
fer IS after even more fame than that
which accrues to him as the owner Of
the most luxuriant beard IN congress. He
seeks to become known as the man who
smashed the funeral junket Should he
accom- plish his aim he would be more
famous than the world renowned man
who broke the bank at Monte Carlo.
For many years it has been the custom
Of con gress to furnish q formal escort Of
representatives and senators on the oc-
casiOn of the funeral OF member of eth
Oh house, and there has grown a suspicion
based somewhat upon the size of the
this kind, that these funeral parties are
not such m0urnful episodes as they
might be. Stories have become current
Of empty champagne cases and other
relics of jOvial embellishments
Senator PETERS blll is brief and quite
to the point 1t provides simply that
whenever, during a session Of congress,
a senator or representative shall die

house of which he is member shall ap-
point special committee Of its members

vides that no action requiring the ex-
penditure of public money other than

81. JOE AND GRAND IsLAND


The United States court OF appeals ak
St Louis has decided the famous 81. Joe
and Grand Island bridge case, which
was an important factor ia state politics
two years ago.
This bridge property had up 60 the
time Of the lastRepublican administration
been assessed As a part Of the property
Of Doniphan county, bur when the state
board OF railroad assessors Of which $.
q. Slower, G. NJ. Hovey and John n. Ives
were mber, assessed railroad prop
erty of the state they also assessed the
st. Joe & Grand Island bridge.
Cyrus Leland who has been a member
of the board of county commissioners of
Doniphan county for many years con-
tended that the railroad assessors had no
business TO assess the bridge and that 10
should be assessed by the township AS
SCISSOR where it was located
Injunction proceedings were brought
in the United States court here TO re-
strain the sheriff from collecting the
taxes. Commissioners Leland made "A
political issue of the bridge case and i'm
Republican circles, il is generally admit
ted that it was the fght~On this bridge
matter, along with their other blundera
as railroad assessors, that prevented
Messrs Hovey and Stover from being re-
nominated two years ago.
About a year ago Judge Riner decided
this case In favor Of the DOniphan county
officials and it was appealed 20 the Court
OF Appeals at St Louis. which has now
confirmed the decision OF Judge Riner,
making a big victory for Cy Leland,
complete
one years taxes on this bridge amount
to about $4,000, and a second suit had
been instituted TO prevent the collection
of last years taxes. but this suit was dis
missed on the receipt of the decision OK

IT IS NOT UNSAFE.
He Says the Bankers Interests
Will be the Public's.
They viii Expand and Contract
as Times Require.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-Secretary Car
Isle appeared before the house commit
tee on banking and currency today to
present IN detail the features Of the new
currency plan proposed in his annual re-
port and endorsed in the presidents mes
sage. He took up each section Of his
recommendation
First to repeal all laws requiring or
authorizing the deposition Of United
states bonds as securities for
circulation, and second. to permit
an unimpaired capital, but require
each bank before receiving notes to de-
posit a guarantee fund consisting of
United States legal tender notes. includ-
ing treasury notes of 1890 to the amount
of 30 per cent upon the circulating notes
applied for. This percentage of
deposits upon the circulating
notes outstanding TO be maintained
a all times, and whenever d bank retires
its circulation in whole, or in part, its
guarantee fund to be returned TO it in
proportion TO the amount of notes re-
tired
Mr. Carlisle said he. was satisfied that
the present law requiring the deposit of
bonds 10 secure circulation prevented
the elasticity of the currency.
The provisions" said Mr.. Carlisle,
give ample protection without the de-
ent law"
BIr Carlisle said the practical value
Of a reserve fund Of currency was shown
ii 1898. There was a demand for money,
aggregating $4O,OOO.OOO The treasury
did its best to meet the stringency, but
by the time the notes were ready to dis
tribute, the demands had gone by and
many of the packages of notes were re-
turned unopened.
Chairman Springer asked how the
Il Il Pal
more plan.
Mr. Carlisle explained the technical
difference. The Baltimore plan pro-
posed a deposit Of 80 per cent under GER
tain conditions, while the treasury plan
proposed a deposit Of 80 per cent When
a bank fails the treasury plan contem-
plated an assessment on all national
banks. they in turn having a lien on the
failed bank
Representative Hall, suggested that
there was prevailing opinion that it
was unsafe to place the entire question
of expanding the currency in the hands
Of corporations aud banks.
1T will work automatically" said Mr..
Carlisle, ssbanks will not expand the cur
rency unless the public needs it. Their
interest will be to expand and contract
as the common interests demand it.
These interests will therefore control at
all times"
The secretary stated that this fexibil-
ity was much more desirable than Il rigid
system by which a fixed amount of cur
rency was always outstanding. At one
time the stringency was SO great that the
banks drew out $13.OOO,OOO under the
pressure. and if it had not been for the
Canadian banks which sent currency
into this country, serious results might
have ensued. Mr. johnson Of Indiana
asked If the Baltimore plan did not con-
template government liability.
Ar. Carlisle said that the ultimate
liability was on the government by the
Baltimore plan and on the banks by his
plan
