The committee divided on party lines
and the minority, Senator Cooke, Of

finding the charges not sustained by the
evidence. The republican members
were Senator Wilcookson Of Logan and

myer, for consideration from the gov.
ernor's contingent fund, prosecuted,
while Senator ThRcher, Of Lawrence,
and Judge @. E. Foote defended.
The trying Of the case was an enor-

parts OF the state TO testify "a to
whether the defendant was in the habit
Of drinking intoxicsnts, Most Of those
from outside of Topeka were Of such
character Rs could be hired to testify to
anything. Yet the prosecution did not
pretend to show anything against the
honesty, competency and integrity Of
the defendant. This ia admitted by
both reports. The testimony was fn-
isned two weeks ago and the committee
adjourned to give time for transCribing.
Last Friday the arguments were heard
and on Saturday evening the members
Of the committee, after falling to agree,
made their two reports. The majority
report is az follows:
"Ws find from the testimony (which
is transmitted with this report) that the
said William Rogers is, and has been,
since the commencement Of his term Of
Office as q member of the board of re-
gents Of the University Of Kansas, Rd..
dictsd to the excessive use Of intoxicst-
ing liquors. We, further find that his
conduct and the example he sets are
detrimental to the best interests Of the
State University, and We recommend
that he bs removed"
The minority report, more in accord.
snoe with the facts, is as follows:
"Ws, the undersigned members II the
legislative committee, appointed by
your exCellency, the Hon. James A.

Hon. Charles Lobdell, speaker Of the

the direction and advice Of his physi-

he used the same both in his committee

do not find that William Rogers either
used intoxicating liquors to excess or
kept the same in his committee room as

COMMITTEE TO INSPECT,
Members viii Visit Ninth aud Robinson
Street This Afternoon

This afternoon at 8 o'clock the streets
and bridges committee of select coun-
ell will make a personal inspection Of
Robinson and Ninth streets and all the
territory involved in an ordinance
which is on its passage and provides
for extensive improvements on those
thoroughfares. The committee expects
to meet all the West Side councilmen,
property owners and representatives Of
the West Side board OF trade.
This proposed personal inspection of
the locality has been caused by u possi-
bility of $4,000 of damages to property
owners. This contingency is not posi-
lively announced. but rather than take
chances the select council at it's last
meeting decided that the committee
should carefully examine the district
and confer with those persons who will
be affected by the improvements.
The ordinance provides for widening
and regarding the streets, and building
retaining wall along the eastern side.
The ordinance involving the moving Of
the trolley tracks from the side to the
center of the street is a separate meas
ure and has only passed two readings
in select council.
