COURTS CAN'T HELP DICK.
Warden Chase's Application for an Injunc-
tiOn Is Denied.

Topeka, Kan, March 1S.-In the dis
trict court today Judge Hazen denied
the application Of Warden Chase for an
Injunction to prevent Governor Nor
rill. Lieutenant Governor Troutman
and Speaker Lobdell from appointing
a committee to investigate the manage
ment of the state penitentiary.
Judge Hazen rendered the decision
at some length, having first put it on
paper. He began by first holding that
the law under which the committee
might be appointed was legal. He
then held that the courts may enjoin
an officer where his acts were purely
ministerial; but where an act depends
on the discretion of an officer or offers.
courts should not interfere with that
discretion.

Mint at Carson City, New da. Has Sprung
Mysterious Leak.

Carson, New, March 1S.-Andrew Ma
son, government mint inspector and
superintendent Of the New York assay
department, has ben in Carson for the
past week inspecting affairs at the
United States mint in this city. An
article in this evenings Tribune to
this effect has given rise to rumors
that something was wrong at the mint,
as heretofore the presence of govern
ment inspectors has been known to the
public on the day of arrival. The fact
that so much secrecy has been OBJ
served caused ugly rumOrs and this
evening 1t was learned from Hirsch
Harris, meter and refiner, that some
thing was wrong at the mint and a
shortage had been discovered about a
month ago. 1t was learned that some
thing over $4,000 had mysteriously dis
appeared and that five clean-ups which
were made in quick succession, as it
was thought that some clerical error
had been made. failed to reveal the
cause Of the shortage. Refined gold and
silver to that amount has disappeared
from the melting and refining depart
ment and Inspector Mason expects to
be able to clear up the mystery in a day
or two. Mr. Harris also stated that
the reason so much secrecy was observ-
ed was that it was not deemed advis-
able to give the matter publicity as
that might prevent the discovery and
recovery of the loss. No direct charges
have been made as yet and it will pro-
badly be some time before the mystery
is unraveled
The presence of General Bob Heating
in Carson to whom several mint en-
plOyes, including Superintendent Adams
owe their positions, is a significant fact.
