GRAVEYARD GHOULS' WORK
Kansas Medical Students Steal Bodies
for Dissection
Police and Hilitis Called Upon to Save the
College Building From Destruc-
tion by r1ob

Topeka. Kan, Dec. 11.-Three cases
OF grave robbery at the Rochester ceme-
terry have been traced to students of the
Kansas Medical college in the past three
days, and popular indignation reached a
crisis in North Topeka tonight. and it is
feared that an effort will be made before
morning to either burn or otherwis ise dam
age the college. The first robbery was
that of The body of Mrs.. l. o. Van Fleet.
The husband of the dead woman became
unaccountably possessed of the belief that
the grave had been desecrated and had
an examination made. which disclosed
the work of the Qhouls- The body was
found in the dissec ing rooms of the col
lege. Further investigation revealed the
mutilated remains of Mrs. Dake, wife
of well-known citizen, and at o'clock
tonight p. H. Lillis identified the third
body at the college as that of his mother,
who died recently of consumption.
The police learned this afternoon that
there was movement on foot to assem-
BILE a mob to sack the medical college, To-
Gated at the corner of Twelfth and Tay-
lOr streets. This evening the faculty of
the college called on the police for protec-
ton. The students were all sent home
and the building is in the possession of a
large squad of policemen.
A detail of militiamen from Battery 3 of
this city is stationed at their arsenal to pre-
vent a capture of the arms stored below.
Upon the request of the sheriff, the COVER
nor has ordered the infantry company at
Lawrence to he ready to respond to call
at,any moment. The men are now assem-
bet at the station at Lawrence.
While it is believed the precautions that
have been taken will prevent any demon
stration tonight, there is great excitement
over the grave robberies. All the A. o. U.
w. lodges met tonight to denounce the out
rage and demand "a full investigation to
discover the ghouls.
Company H of the Kansas National
guard, at Lawrence, received telegraphic
orders to report in Topeka tonight, but the
order was countermanded in a message re-
ceived by Captain Mcclure at s o'clock.
Great indignation prevails throughout
should permit the robhing of graves when
from the cities by paying expressage. The
United Workmen resolved not to employ
any of the physicians connected with the
college and denounced Governor Morriil
Tor calling out the militia.
The mob, on advice of the officials, has
dispersed.
Rochester cemetery, from which the
bodies were stolen. is used by the poorer
classes of this city, and it is in secluded
nook, where the grave robber can operate
unmolested. Many persons whose rela-
tives have been buried there recently went
out today to open the graves and satisfy
themselves that the bodies had not been
disturbed.

OLD BILL vOSBURG
Makes II Interesting But Unpleasant for
Sheriff Tamsen

Makes II Interesting But Unpleasant for
Sheriff Tamsen
New YORK, Dec. i 1.-The trial today OF
Sheriff Tamsen, charged with criminal
negligence in allowing the three postoffice
robbers, Russell, Killoran and Allen, to
escape from the Ludlow street jail, re-
vealed facts anything but complimentary
to the custodians of the prisoners at the
Jail.
"Old Bill' vosburg, notorious conf.
dence man and father-in.law of Russell,
was the principal witness. He told how
he had been given pass to the jail which
the doorkeeper never took up, and how he
mad visited the Jail as often as five times q
week, taking liquor, money and firearms
to the prisoners. He was never searched.
Six days before the escape he carried in
three revolvers, which he gave to the pris-
oners in the Jail yard. keeper stood
near by in the doorway. at the time: On
cross-examination Vosburg admitted the
part he recently played in swindling
Farmer Cinfel of Nebraska, who paid $500
Tor $4,000 worth of green goods. Vosburg
explains that he did not sell Cinfel coun-
terfeit money, but, as he explained, ''only
pox full OF green paper with two 81 bills
on top" He admitted that his purpose
$500.
John Allen, who was prisoner at Lud-
low street in June last. explained that pin
ocle and poker were favorite games among
the warden and the s'star" prisoners. The
keepers also took part.
This closed the case for the prosecution.
General Tracy of the defense at once
raised the question of the state courts jur-
isdlction over federal prisoners. He moved
TO dismiss the case against Sheriff Tamsen.
Judge Allison decided to hear arguments
on that point tomorrow.

A BIG SCANDAL DNEARTHED
In the Affairs OF the VitiCultural
Commission
THE STATE HAD PROPERTY
Of Which Nobody Now Knows the
Whereabouts
Governor Budd Has Been Taking lnvestixa.
tion and the Saaried Officials Will BE
Called to Account

Associated Press Special Wire
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. IA big scandal
has been unearthed in the affairs of the
state viticulturaI commission. Thousands
OF dollars in state property, which, it is
Claimed. the commission should account
for and which it does not possess, has dis
appeared. On the eve of it's dissolution as
a state institution the commission is being
subjected to searching investigation by
Governor Budd and the board of exanri-
ers Enough startling facts have been dis
covered to warrant serious charges and
the secretary of the commission, Winfield
Scott, has been summoned to Sacramento
to explain. if possible. what has become of
the valuable property belonging to the
state.
Costly apparatus, which it is difficult to
duplicate, and which was purchased with
state money for the use of the commission,
has gone. no one knows where. Books,
furniture of all sorts, laboratory equip
ments and working outfits have disap-
peared without explanation. Responsible
ity. under the state law, rests with the SAL
aried officials who will be compelled to
answer, or the secretaries who have served
since the establishment of the board since
1881. They are Charles A. Wetmore. j.
II. Wheeler and Winfield Scott
Who is to blame, if any one is. must be
determined by the investigation, which will
commence before the stale board of exam
iners Friday.
Governor Budd has been making thor
ouRh investigation of the institution for
some time. and to him is due the credit of
the discovery and the exposure. All of
the accusations in the affair are based up
on the inventory of the property OF the
commission made by the secretary. This
inventory, compared with the books and
accounts of the state controllers office,
shows startling DISCREPANCIES. Property
which is considered imperishable and
which should not have been sold, loaned or
stolen. cannot be found.
Governor Budd has the facts and figures
at his command, and the investigation be-
fore the board of examiners promises to
be Of very great interest.

Scotland, on August I'd and November 7th,

Scotland, on August I'd and November 7th,
respectively. All attempts to induce
Bayard OF his staff to discuss the
matter failed, while the British Off
cials also declined to make any
statements on the subject. The St.
James Gazette this afternoon thinks
Bayard MAY resign after such an attack"
If so," the Gazette adds. "hs loss will be
regretted by all who come in contact with
such a fine example of dignitied, eloqnent
American statesman. But Mr.. Bayard's
indiscretion was so deliberate, we doubt if
he did not contemplate this result. After
all, we too, should resent if our ministers
made similar Statements
Although Bayard refuses 10 be inter
viewed, he has statee he does not intend to
tender his resignation.
The Evening Standard this afternoon,
commenting on the affair. said:
The pettiness of party warefare in the
United States was never more clearly dis.
played. Mr.. Bayard has gained the good
will of all classes here. The United States
has always been singularly fortunate in the
selection of its ambassadors to Great
Britain. and Mr.. Bayard has proved him
self worthy of the foremost rank. This
petty outburst of spite on the part OF
political clique will not tend to increase
our feeling OF respect for american politi-
cians.H
: Ihe Post tConservative) in an editorial
on the action of the house of representa-
tives at Washington on Uniled States Am
bassador Bapard. says:
Tue moral is that ambassadors called
upon to make speeches should discuss
authorship and Shakespeare. especially
when presidential election is in sight.
The Daily News tLibera) in an editorial,
says:
We do not desire to say anything very
emphatic in Mr.. Bavard's case, for that
might make Mr.. Call and Mr.. Barret; go
for him anew. But we believe him to be
the sort of man who will not scare worth
a rent.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 11.-"Never has
there been such successful receivership,"
said Judge Caldwell after he had closed up
the Santa Fe receivershp. "Of the one
hundred and thirty millions of bonds out
standing one hundred and twenty nine
millions have come in. The rest are scat
tered among persons who perhaps do not
know just what proceedings have taken
place and will come in in time. All are
protected, however, by the decree.
''The Santa Fe road was never in a bet
ter condition financially. Pursuant to my
order, all local debts have been paid leav
ing none outstanding. The employ yees
have been paid regularly every month,
and every thing is perfectly satisfactory on
allsides.
"The sale was very simple, considering
its immensity. 1t was cried as you would
cry the sale of pony. J. convened court
after the sale and confirmed the transac-
ton. then issued an order for the deed
to be made, which was formally done and
executed.
"The company has now possession of
the road, but will do nothing until January
l.. There is provision which says that
the road shall be turned over to the new
company when they present the deed and
demand possession, and it has been agreed
upon that they will not do this until that
time,''

VENEZUELAN QUESTIONS
Ambassador Eustis Playi1g the Role of
Peacemaker
No Information Received as to the Personnel
Of Crcspo's New Cabinet-The
Boundary natter

WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.-Ambassador
Eustis, it is understood, is continuing his
efforts to adjust the difference between
France and Venezuela, growing out of the
expulsion of the French minister to vene.
zuela. So far Mr.. Eustis' efforts have not
been crowned with entire success. There
is disposition here to question the ac.
curacy of the statement printed in London
to the effect that Venezuela regards the
matter of the arrest of the British chief of
of police by the Venezuelan officials at
Uruan as entirely separate from the
boundary dispute with Great Britain,
since it rests on the right of Jurisdiction
over the territory where the arrest was
made. No representations have yet been
made to our government on the subject
by any of the parties, which is probably
accounted for by the fact that up to yes
terday President Crespo had not received
the demand from England for the indem-
nifty.
The Venezuelan legation has not re-
ceived confirmation of the report of the
appointment of new cabinet by Presi-
dent Crespo, although such appointments
have been expected for weeks. Roias,
who is reported to be the new minister of
foreign affairs, preceded DR.. Pulido, the
retiring minister, and wrote the decisive
letter to Great Bri!ain refusing TO apollo
gize for the Uruan incident. His letter,
heretofore published, took the ground that
the Uruan matter is not a question of per-
sonal outrage to Police Inspector Barnes,
as claimed by Great Britain, but involves
the entire question of territorial rights
between Venezuela and Great Britain, He
urged that arbitration of the right of pos
session of the Uruan district was necessary
to determine whether the British police in
spector was rightfully or wrongfully there.
This letter was written year ago, when
Great Britain made her first protest. After
ward Roj.s gave way to DR.. Pulido, con-
servative diplomatist of mature years.
Roias is liberal, as we'll as a radical, SO
that his return to power is hardly con-
sistent with the reports from Caracas that
President Crespo is inclined to pay the in
demnity the British claim for the Uruan
incident.
