BOYS PESTER THE THROOP.
They Rush Into the Hotel to Sell Papers
and Are Arrested.


and Are Arrested.
Pension Agent George W. Click was in
police cOurt-as a witness-today. He
and G. a. Kimball. the Rock Island
freight agent, were there to take the part
of two newsboys who were arrested for
disturbing the peace.
The arrest was made a week ago by
Officer Wellman. He arrested them in
front of the Hotel Throop for disturb
ance which the boys created the night
before. Governor Click and Mr. Kim
ball witnessed the arrest. The boys
were doing nothing when they were ar
rested, and they thought it was an out
rage. They told the officer so. and
said then they wanted to testify as wit
nesses in the case when it came for
trial Wellman could have told Gov.
Click and Mr. Kimball that the offense
of the boys was committed the day be-
fore, but he did not and they labored
under the Misrepresentation that the
arrest was policeman's freak
The boys were George Diment and
Ben Nathanson, II years old They
were tried this morning and R. Nathan
son, who runs second hand store on
lower Kansas avenue, defended the bows.
W. R Kennady, who has a drug store
In the Throop hotel, testified that the
boys had disturbed his business. They.
with some other boys who sell evening
papers, crowd into the Throop and
onto the steps leading to his
drug store and ask everyone
around the hotel to buy papers of them
Mr. Kennady said he had the "newspa-
per privilege" around the Throop hotel
and that the boys were infringing upon
his rights. He also said that the bows
swore at him every time he ordered them
| away.

hotel said: Il have ordered the bows out

JOBS AT LANSING.
Some of the Referendum Crowd to
Be Rewarded,
BUT ASA BUM IS NOT ONE.

General State House News Pertaining
so the Departments-PersO and
Notes.
It has at last been definitely settled
that Asa Bum, one of the leaders of the
''Referendum" crowd who worked up
the charges against Warden Dick Chase
which led to the recent investig alton,
will not get place in the penitentiary
mines under the Republican administra-
ton.
Bum expected payment for his services
to the Republican party by an appoint
ment to a good job when the Republi-
cans would again get control of the pen
itentiary.
He,is an old civil engineer and the
place he had picked out for himself was
one he held for short time under the
Populist administration, that of mine
superintendent.
It is said that when Dave Naill accept
ed the appointment of deputy warden.
he did so with the conditions named
that he would not be compelled to hire
any Objectionable members of the "Ref-
erendum" crowd.
1t has been agreed that two me mbers
of this crowd are to have places under
the Lynch administration. These two
fortunates are c. II. Black and Ed Simp-
son.
Black was formerly employed under
the Populists as mine officer and Simp-
son wore the title of "Pit Boss" They
are, it is said, to have their old jobs back
again.
Bum is the only one of the crowd who
has not been given q positive promise OF
a place and he is also the only one OF
them who still hang around the state
house and the Copeland hotel.
Cy Leland. who engaged Bum to work
up the case against Dick Chase. will now
have to provide some other way to pay
him for his services, or Bum may &C
back to the Populists and do the .Repub
Iicans as much harm as he is supposed
to have done their opponents in the las
campaign.

WHY VOTED NO
The Juror Who Held Out in the
Novels Trial
GIVES his REASONS FOR so DOING.

Was Not Influenced by Race Preju-
dice, He 8ays-Jury stood Eight to
Four on First Ballot.
James Jordan, the colored man who
refused 70 the last to vote with the eleven
others of the jury for the conviction of
Frank Novels as the murderer of Mrs.
A. D. Matson, lives in North Topeka in
Evans addition. He is a we'll dressed
man and wears heavy black beard. His
conversation betokeus Intelligence and
his demeanor, truth.
He talked freely with JOURNAL re-
porter today regarding his stolid stand
for Novels freedom.
81 did exactly what I thought was
right" he declared, according to the
evidence and the instructions by the
Judge as 1 understand them. It is u mis-
take that said that 1 believe Novels
guilty way down in my heart What
did say was this: Novels may be guilty
but it has not been proven beyond a reas-
enable doubt.
Judge Hazen told US that if we had
any doubt of Novels guilt we should
give him the benefit of it and did.
"The statement that the vote stood II
to l for conviction on the first ballot is
also in error. The first ballot stood to
for conviction. The second ballot stood
10 to 2 On the third ballot A. NJ. H.
Claudy left me and the vote stood as it
did on the last ballot, II to for convio-
ton. There must have been ten ballots
taken, and 1 held out simply because 1
believed l was right, according to the
law and evidence"
did you know Nevels?"
"Not until after l went into the jury
box"
as it true that you are a relation of
Lawyer Jamison, one of NevePs at
torneys?"
This Mr.. Jordan would not absolutely
deny, but answered much as Mr.. Jamison
did yesterday.
81 do not know that am" he said
"We both came from Nashville where
we went to school at the same time"
"Did race prejudice have anything tc
do with your decision in the matter?"
mo, sir; not in the least If I had
been thoroughly satisfied that Novels
killed the woman l should certainly have
voted for his conviction"

Jerry, ex-Gov. Click and Joe Lowe that

anxious to talk about his farm and he
