Investigating Committee.

The state permanent school fund in
vestigating committee convened again
yesterday. This committee consists of
Senators Brown, Carpenter and Dill
lard and Representatives Hopkins of
Finney, Tucker of Douglas, Funk of
Marion, Fitzgerald of Dodge City, and
Hilton of Osborne. All of the men,
berS of the committee except Senator
billiard and Representative Hilton are
republicans. An adjournment of the
committee was taken to the 18th at
which time it is supposed that the
stenographer will have his notes trans
scribed. A subcommittee consisting
of Representatives Hilton and Hop
kins was appointed to list and check
up the bonds in the treasurer's office.
1t was also agreed that ex-Superin-
tendent Gaines and his witnesses
should be heard. An effort will be
made to get Bailey Waggener to ap-
pear before the board and tell what he
knew of some bond deals that seem to
have been questionable transactions.
1t seems to be the desire of the CON-
mittee to get at the actual facts in re-
gard to the condition of the state
school fund.

State Boarding Houses.

During the populist administration,
rule was strictly enforced that no
persons other than employees should be
boarded at the state institutions. This
was 80 strictly enforced that the assist
ant superintendent of the Topeka Re-
form school was not permitted to keep
his family at the institution. This is a
rule that must be enforced. If viola
tions are permitted there is nothing to
be done but admit every body.
Now things are changed. At the
reform school eleven persons who are
not even on the pay roll are permitted
to live at the institution regularly and
more than that number are frequently
there. Among the regulars is the "red
slipper" wife of Farmer" Glover.
His wife's mother also finds comfort
able shelter there. In the Topeka In
sane asylum DIR. Eastman permitted q
man who had been discharged for
abusing a patient to stay at the insti-
tuition for a full month. No doubt It
is common practise In these institu.
tions to permit such things. No wonder

Jim Hallowen Speaks.

In a Kansas City interview James r.
Hallowell, of Wichita, who wanted to
60 to congress when Jerry Simpson
went the first time, uses the following
language; mo, will not talk politics,
but really think If Morrill, keeps up
the old soldier gag much longer he viii
soon be out Of politics. Yes, mean
the guv'nor. He never fought in Q
battle and the only thing he did dur.
ing the war was to hand out sour
crackers and bad meat to the. boys who
did the fighting. I've said it many
times all over the state, and we people
down In Wichita don't love Morrill,
over much, anyhow"

GAINES SHOULD GO.
Opinions Of Some Prominent German-Amer-
leans.

Opinions Of Some Prominent German-Amer-
leans.
The feeling against Police Officer
Gaines is increasing rather than di-
minishing. The Germans of the city
are getting ready to take the matter up
and insist that such outrages as were
perpetrated in the Cruger and Etzel
cases are not permitted to take place
again.
Mr.. John Schmidt, of the Kansas
Packing house, and secretary of the
local German league, in speaking of
the Gaines affair said to reporter:
"This man Gaines ought not to be on
the police force. He is not the right
kind of a man. I have lived here q
long time and l know great many
policemen who have been on the force
for years and years and it has never
become necessary to abuse and pound
inoffensive citizens with their clubs. I"
Oscar Bischoff said: "All this
trouble was caused by having hot
headed policeman go to make an ar
rest. L have talked with these women
and they tell me they made no effort
whatever to resist the officer. They
could not talk to the policeman in Eng
ish and they asked for an explanation
of the arrest in German. The police
man did not understand them, and
they became very much excited and
used many gestures in trying to make
themselves understood.
"Gaines very likely thought from
their gestures that they intended to
fight him, and commenced to club
them. asked the women if they had
broom sticks or any other weapons and
they told me no, that they had nothing
whatever in their hands but that they
did throw their hands about in trying
to Iexplain that their husbands had
done nothing TO cause Gnem 10 De ar
rested.
"This affair has stirred these people
up to such an extent that they are talk
ing about leaving the country.
81 am the agent of the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship company and
they have been coming to me to see
about tickets ever since the affair.
They say they came to this country to
become citizens, but if they can't live
here without being clubbed by the po-
lice, when they are not breaking any
law just because they have not yet
learned to talk the English language,
then they want to 60 back to the old
country"

Burglar PardOned.

George Wilson, who is in the peni-
tentisry serving a five-year sentence
for burglary was pardoned Friday. He
was intoxicated when the offense was
committed, which was at Independ-
ence in 1892. 1t begins to look like
this pardon business was being worked
pretty frequently. There may have
been good reasons for psrdoning this
burglar but the public has not been
advised as to what they are.

That Alleged Penitentlary Scandal.


A few weeks ago the LeaVenworth
Times tried to get up sensation about
a plot by which one Mrs. Tsbing was
held up for money which she paid to
get a prisoner named Bruce Seward
out of the penitentiary. The ADvo.
CATE of August mentioned the mat.
ter, giving the names of those said to
be implicated. Among them was DR..
England, who was physician at the
panitentisry under Warden Chase.
The Times has since refused to publish
the following communication from DIR.
England, regarding the matter:
1 see in your issue Of the 2Sth what purports
to be an interview with one Mrs. Tabing under
the glowing headlines Of "Story OF Holdup,
ETC." Permit me to inform you that one Of
the "bunco steerers" referred to was an attor.
ney who glories in republicanism and who
took very large fee from Mrs. Tabing. But

regard to myself
1t Is true that Mrs. Tabing came to me to
take the case Of Sowards, saying that all the
lawyers wanted was to get her money. 1

agreed with her to try and enlist W. II. Hol.

SPECIAL ELECTIONS.

Governor Morrill, Issues PrOclamatIOns to
Fill Vacancies.
Special elections have been called in
the following legislative districts, the
date being the same as the regular
election, being November 5. The dis
tricts affected are six in number, OF
which four are in the senate and two
in the house, and are as follows:
Senator O'Brien of Wichita has re-
signed and removed to st. Louis. He
was a democrat, was indorsed by the
populists but acted with the republi.
cans In most important matters. The
populists have named I. p. Campbell
as a candidate for his seat and he has
democratic Endorsement. Harry Cor.
don, O'Brien'S law partner, has the
republican nomination.
Senator Lucien Baker of Leayen-
worth resigned to accept a seat In the
United States senate. Neither party
has nominated q candidate to succeed
him. His district is Leavenworth
county only.
Senator Dennison, populist, Of Edo
RADIO, resigned to accept the Office Of
Judge of the Central division Of the
southern department of the appellate
court. The populists have nominated
j. d. Joseph to succeed him. The re-
publican candidate is DR.. Richardson,
That district has but one county
Butler.
Senator Solon 0. Thacher is dead
and his district consisting of Douglas
and Jefferson counties will no doubt
return a republican. No candidate
has yet been nominated by amy party.
Representative John Schlyer, dem
ocrat, of Ellis county, rendered his res.
ignation some time last spring to &C.
cept an appointment as postmaster at
Hays City.
Representative Elric G. Cole, repub-
lican, Of Barton county, resigned to
become judge Of the Western division
of the southern department of the ap-
pellste court.
AS to the results of these elections,
there is but one district in the six
where the republicans are sure Of sue
cess. In at least three of the others
the chances are very favorable to the
populiSts, while the other two may be-
regarded as doubtful.

lOpeku UNIONS anu BUSINESS Men MAKE tn6
Celebration Success.
The day opened clear and warm and
the streets were crowded long before
the parade, which was the forenoon
event, was ready to move.
The parade was q great success. 1t
was headed by a squad of metropoli.
tan policemen, who made a fine ap-
pearance under the leadership of Cap
tain Gardiner Sargeants Donovan and
Ellison. Chief Wilmarth and the fire
department followed. The fire appar
atus and horses looked well and made
a creditable showing for the city.
Gormley's band, consisting of thirty.
six pieces, added to its already good
reputation and was generally compli-
mented.
The mayor and city council In car
risges, followed by carriages contain.
ing Hon. j. r. Burton and Mrs.
Annie L. Diggs, accompanied by prom
inent labor leaders, formed the next
section of the parade.
Then came in order the various un
ions OF the city, well represented In
point of numbers, appropriately
dressed with elegant banners bearing
the names of the various unions.
These gentlemen in point Of appear
ance were credit to the city and state.
The tailors with silk hats led, and
were followed by the cigarmakers,
who were followed by the BARRIERS, the
carpenters, the painters, and the print
ers, the latter having the largest mum.
ber in line.
A drum corps headed the second di-
vision, while Jackson's band, twenty.
five strong, headed the Third division.
The latter received many compliments.
Business houses represented in the pa
rsde were: G. w. Grubs, pianos; An
heuser- Busch hop ale; J. Thomas Lum-
ber Co., lumber; Chicago Lumber Co.,
lumber; Southwestern Coal Co., coal;
E. p. Ewsrt, coal; Kimbsll pianos;
Reed & Tomlinson, furniture; William
Green & Sons, grocers; Lukens Bros,
wagons; w. l. Miller, lumber, and the
Model Supply house.
Taken as a whole the parade was a
good and creditable one.
In the afternoon J. r. Burton and
John j. Ingalls, spoke to immense
crowds at Garfield park. These two
men are classed as two of Kansas
greatest orators and their efforts yes
terday were able ones, judged from an
oratorical standpoint. Mrs. DiggS ad-
dressed a large crowd in the evening.

THE ~. CARNIVAL.
The Gorgeous Display Set for

The Gorgeous Display Set for
the Evenings Of Oct. 1917.
Captain BurnsH is doing magnii-
Gent work in the drill in which be is
preparing about fifty young ladies
for the Carnival drill. The young
ladies are the representatives of as
many firms doing business in. our
city. These young ladies are to be
dressed according to the taste of the
firms in such way as to present to
the best advantage the various enter
prises OF our city. The drill in adj
dition to plain marching includes
such fancy marches as the forming of
the St. Andrews Cross, the Knights
Templars Cross, the figure eight. the
Knights Of Pythias badge, the Odd
Fellows badge, etc. in all OF which
the captain proves himself the eff
Gent drill master for which he is SO
we'll and favorably known. The
entertainment will doubtless be the
grandest thing of the kind ever seen
i'll this part of the country.
Even the drill through which the
Captain puts the young ladies from
time to time is an entertainment in
itself which it is worth going a good
ways to see. In the G. A. R. hall
where the most of the drilling is
done, it is not possible to get the
forms and evolutions complete on ac-
count of lack of room. However, in
the pavilion, which is to be erected
on Main street Oh the corner
near Mr.. Damon's residence there
will be platform space for the COM
plete drill.
The pavilion is to be 64x80 feet
with stage room 2Ox8O feet. The
walls are to he made: the top covered
with canvass and the room heated
with stoves to comfortable tempera-
ture for the audience.
The program for the entertainment
will he a grand affair. Besides a
gorgeous display Of beauty, which
the fifty young ladies would under
favorable conditions make in this,
the many unique features the mer-
chants are making for the display of
their business, can but make it a
most brilliant affair.
Between the leading parts of the
program there will be a short pro-
gram of an elecutionary and and mu->
steal nature. Prof. McCallum, the
Iowa elecutionist, has been engaged
to assist in this par, of the program
and will render some of his best Sc
lections. By way of home musical
talent, choice selections will be given
by our mandolin club, brass band
and popular male quartette.
Judging from the number of peo-
pie taking part in the program we
can easily see why two evenings will
be occupied. We learn also that
beautiful prize is to be given to the
lady who makes the best display of
the business. house she represents,
the audience to be the judges and
every ticket ballot to be cast at the
close of each entertainment. =
