JOKES WERE ALL MEAN.
DIR. Hoffman Made "A Call and Alurm
brought Ont Fire Department.

April fool jokers were not so nunler-
Gus yesterday as they have been here
tofore but hey were meaner, as several
people have realized. Among the vic
Tins was DIR. Hoffman. After his morn
ing round Of sick cases he returned to
his office and found a message on his
slate asking him to call and see pa
tent three miles away. He jumped
in his buggy, put the whip TO his horse
and after inquiring for nearly an hour
out in the neighborhood where the sup
posed sick lady lived, as 10 her resi-
dence it dawned upon him that il was
an April fool joke. The doctor is OF a
very even temper but If he caught the
joker after he returned he would supply
a patient for some other doctor.
Chief Walden was also a victim and
he has not put out a fire this year that
was any hotter than he was. Some
body sent a telephone alarm into the
department calling them out TO go
East Douglas avenue There was no
fire there. Others related similar ex-
pericences and on the whole the jokes
played Were the meanest the oldest
citizen remembers.

people were every day asking him why

| The board of education held its reg
ular meeting last night, Mr.. Jennings
/ in the chair
1t was the intention of the board to

ers of the public schools. Treasurer
/ Otto Eckstein, who not wishing to have
/ the school board immitate Cleveland

bonds in time of profound peace, sug-
! gested that there was no law for such

I Mr.. Eckstein said that he wanted it
understood that he was merely giving
his individual opinion but he said that
had been unable to find any law cover
ing the case. There was law under
which a bonded debt could he refund
ed but this issuing of bonds to pay
teachers salaries would not be re-
funding, it was funding.
After Mr. Eckstein had finished his
remarks the members of the board
looked around at each other as if each
one wanted to enquire, well. who
wants to issue any bonds, anyhow"
AT this stage OF the proceedings Miss
Jessie Clark, supervisor of music, came
in and took her seat near the table her
lace wreathed in dimples and smiles.
Mr.. Jennings is himself head of a fam
lily and he took the hint and modestly
asked Miss Clark, do you want any
thing?''
The Miss Clark stood up by the end
of the big long table and said she had
request to make of the board and by
way OF introduction she stated that
there would be a musicla jubilee at
Hutchinson, May Z, 8 9 and 10. Her re-
quest was that herself and nine or ten
other teachers be given a leave of alb
sence to attend the jubilee.
1t was moved and seconded that they
be given leave of absence Then Miss
Jessie smiled sweeter than ever and
said they wanted their pay to continue
and the motion was so amended. OF
course it passed unanimously and Miss
Jessie thanked the members of the
board collectively and individually
She even thanked the newspaper re-
porters, every one of whom had voted

1T WILL BE FAIR
HARRY BONE SAYS THAT CHASE
WILL GET A SQUARE DEAL
Committee Organized With
Senator Parker as Chairman--Work to
BE Commenced Next Wednesday,
Nearly One Hundred and Fifty Wit
nesses to BE Examined--There Was a
Kick on the Number Allowed the De
fcndant, But the Committee Desired TO
Give Him q show.

Give Him a show.
Hon. Harry Bone was in the city last
| night having arrived from Topeka in
the afternoon. He reports that the
| committee TO investigate Dick Chase
has been organized with Senator Par
! ker as chairman and that all will be
ready to proceed with the investiga-
ton next Wednesday. Mr.. Bone says
| that the cmmittee will make a thorough
investigation and that it will be abso-
lUtely without bias or prejudice. II
Mr. Chase has been guilty of the charge
preferred against him there win be no
white-washing and if not they propose
to thoroughly exhonorate him. He says
The committee is very anxious to get
at the facts in justice to Mr.. Chase as
well as for the credit and honor Of the
state of Kansas.
IF Mr. Chase is innocent" said Mr..
Bone, the cloud ought to be lifted
from him and his innocence established,
If he is not innocent of the charges he
ought to be punished as a warning to
others and to the end that the people
and tax payers of the state, who foot
the bills, may expect honest and effic-
lent work from their public servants"
w III not The coSl Ol the llltcStiSdtlOu
be very high"
II am afraid il will. Chase has asked
for los witnesses in all and the state
will have forty or forty-fiye. The COM
mittee has been criticized for allowing
Chase SO many witnesses, but under the
law he is entitled TO them on demand
and the committee could not violate
the law nor did they feel inclined to
deprive Mr.. Chase of any means of
proving his innocence. AS 1 stated be-
fore. the committee wants to be abso-
lutely fair. We will, Of course, rule
out any and all witnesses who cannot
prove anything beyond facts proven by
previous witnesses. This is all we can do
in justice to the accused and in compli-
ance with the law
'Will Mrs. Lease be investigated? ?"
Indeed, i do not know. 1 do not
think she will. l think that what has
been said in the papers originated in
somebody's joke. L have heard moth
ing seriously said about IL, but, OF
course, am not in position to say so.
My impression is that charges against
her are not contemplated
From what Mr.. Bone stated the in
vestigation against Chase will not cost
anything like the estimates made. He
does not think it will cost over $4,000,
Notwithstanding all the witnesses The
first part of the investigation will be
at Topeka and the latter part, the in
vestigation of the books, etc., at Lea
yenworth.
