NTopr ar.rEMprED BURGLARIEs

MORE ATTEMPTED BURGLARIES.-'
Several tramps attempted to force an
entrance into the residence of the
Misses Bauer. corner of King and Payne
streets, sometime after II o'clock last
night, by cutting Stats from window.
The noise they made attracted the at
tention of a gentleman living near by,
and ne raised window. The tramps
seeing this movement ceased their al
tempt at burglary aud proceeded under
the window aud ordered him to close
it by threatening to shoot him. Officers
Young. Beach, Smith, and Jones were
appraised of the affair and started on
search for the tramps, going into West
End in attempts to come up with them,
but they managed to elude the officers.
Two thieves attempted to enter
James Webster's house, on Alfred street,
between Gibbon and Wilkes, last night.
They had placed a LADDER to the win
dow, but having been discovered were
driven of. Officer Griffin found case
knife which the thieves left, also the
ladder which was improvised after a
crude fashion. The burglars were ev-
identity bent on getting into Webster's
bed room for the purpose of robbing
him.
Sometime during the night thieves
entered Mr.. Julias Dreifus's store, on
the strand, between King and Prince
street, ard it is said, stole a jug
of whisky. Private Waterman GEM
berger found the front door
open and gave an alarm. Strict
search was made in the neighborhood,
but the thieves could not be found. 1t

when they heard the Waterman return

emit democrat) OF Barber county made
dissenting report giving his reasons
for the reinstatement of Chase.
The reports were Rled last Wednes-
day, but for some reason the governor
did not Immediately remove the warden
from Office. It may have been because
he was bothered so much by applicants
for the WRrdenship and the ninety other
positions at the institution, or perhaps
it was because the findings in the ma
jority report were such a miserable Bpol-
ogy for the recommendation 1t con-

OF the charges, made by A. M. Bum
and others, the msjOrity find the follow
ing NOT TRUE: That Chase had indulged
in profsne language in the presence Of
convicts; that he had employed as as /.
sistant mRtFon q woman known to be q
prostitute; that he had written to Gov.
srnor Lewslling letter which had un-
due influence regarding the investigs

that he had appropriated state money

for their private use at the states OK.
pense.
The above were the most serious
charges. AS an excuse for the Warden's
removal they find that there were
grounds for the following charges, al
though the evidence does not clearly
sustain them all; cruel, corporal punish
ment Of the oonVicts; assault and battery
against J. F. Mcdonald (neither pris.
oner nor employe), who had called the
warden q vile name; paying officers for
time they did not work; employing
members Of his own family; getting pro-
visions from the store room ut less than
actual weight, and from thesprison farm
without pay (the latter item iB OF some
vegetables and milk from the farm; the
committee did not presume to state the
Vslue); appointing as superintendent Of
the mine his son, who had no previous
experience in mining: receiving oontri-
buttons from the officers and employees
to pay expenses OF this investigation.
The committee finds that the system Of
bookkeeping is inadequate for the insti-
tuition, though 10 is the same that has
always been used there.
The above conclusions were drawn
from about $500 worth Of testimony,
much of which was given by sx.conviots

and the gang that made the charges, oil

liCRn chairman.

absolutely untrue:
In the charge Of having permitted
corporal punishment, by beating con-
viCts with clubs, large prison keys, slug
shots, steel knuckIes, billies, hands and
fists, and permitting keepers to pinion
limbs and members 80 as to cause great
pain and permanent and serious injury,
find that ever since this has been q
penitentiarY, there have been means
and instruments Of punishment in use
in that institution invented by the first
warden, and used by every warden more
or less since that time for the infliction
Of punishment, which were unauthorized
by law and not justified as q means Of
punishment; that Mr.. Chase provided
himself with no new implements, but
fell in very naturally to the methods of
punishment in vogue before; that dur
ing his period of warden, several con.
Victs have been severely punished, and
the only justification can find for such
punishment, is that it was such pun.
ishmsnt as previous WRrdsns had in
hiCted, and the conVicts were inCorri-
gible snd RmenRble to no persuasion or
less meEciful treatment; but for the pun
ishments used in this penitentlRry by
every warden, each one Of them should
be criticized FOR his conduct, Mr.. Chase no
more than the others; but it is not OF
that gravity that I, as a citizen Of Kan
sas end q member Of the committee,
would ever agree to any Of their diSmis-
sails on that account.
1t was the duty of the legislature, dur
ing it's numerous sessions sincs this hes
been state, to have kept a more dill
gent and ViRilant eye upon this institu-
tioD, Bnd the criticism is more justly
ohsrgeable to the legislature OF the state
Of Kansas than to those various ward
ems. And IL this investigation Is prOduC-
tive Of any good, it is in calling the at
tention Of the legislature to these long
existing evils over q quarter of CEN
tury in duration. find that keeper

was not Rmensble to any persuasion or
reasoning, and who made q visi0us at
tack upon such keeper at time when
they were alone in the cell room and
when the life OF the keeper was at the
mercy Of the burly convict, and that he
acted in self defense.
The testimony does not disclose that
any permanent injury was ever caused
to any convict in that psnitentisry bv
she punishment he received, and that
they all, who were 80 punished, had it
within their means to stop such punish
ment almost instantly by obedience to
the discipline OF the institution.

I find that there was a difficulty at
the penitentisry between the warden
and one Mcdonald, resulting in an as
sault and battery by Mr.. Chase upon
the person of Mr.. Mcdonald, under

by Mcdonald to Chase; that Mr.. Chase
