FRANK FOSTERS REMOVAL.
Governor Morrill, Opposes the Presi-
dent of the Police Board,
IT IS SAID, FOR POLITICAL REASONS.

The old Ellison Fight Said to BE Sill
On-A. X. Rodgers Appointed In
Frank Fosters Place.
Police Commissioner Frank Foster was
somewhat surprised last night when he
went home and found note from Gov
ernor Morrill, informing him that his ser
vices as police commissioner were no
longer required. At the same time A.
&. Rodgers was appointed.
Mr. Fosters most intimate friends had
no thought that there was any movement
to dispose of the president of the board,
and his most active enemies, while they
hoped that he would be removed, did not
think that he could be disposed of for
some time.
With the removal of Commissioner
Foster and the appointment of a. K
Rodgers there is an Indication of the fact
that Cy Leland and Governor Morrill,
have not given up the carrying of Shaw
nee county. Both removal and appoint
mont bear the stamp of the shrewd
political worker, though on the surface
there is no evidence whatever of that
fact.
There are two factions in the
police department One is repre-
sented by Sergeant Frank Eli
son whose greatest desire is to
be chief of police and the other by Chief
Gardiner, who is not a politician but a
faithful public servant who enforces all
laws These factions were at war dur
ing the administration of Chief Wilker-
son.
Sergeant Ellison has the unqualified
backing of the resubmissionists and he
also has some outside influence. In the
contest for the position of chief after the
resignation of Wilkerson, Ellison made
a strong fight for the place, and among
the people who requested his appoint
ment was A. Z. Rodgers, who has now
been appointed to succeed Commits
sioner Foster who was Ellison's most Bit
ter opponent.
With the removal of Foster and the
appointment of Rodgers the admin stra-
ton homes to secure two points. Rodgers
is q man of irreproachahle character, but
he is favorable to Ellison, who repre-
sents the resubmissionists. If Rodgers
votes for Ellison for chief at the annual
election April II, it will insure his cleo
ton, for Charles z. Holiday, the Demo
cratic member and resubmissionist has
always been friendly TO him.
The election of Ellison as chief of Do
lice would satisfy the resubmissionists.
and Governor Morrill, hopes that this will
turn the tide in his favor, and the law
and order element may be deceived.
That ia said to be the politics of the re-
moval of President Foster
Commissioner Foster has made few
trivial mistakes and this gave color to the
reasons given by the governor for his re-
moval that he was not in harmony with
the other members of the board. He is
conscientious but be had no tact and did

the right things in the wrong way.
No one questions the integrity of Mr..
Rodgers. He is a man of ire proach bic
character and stands high in church cir
Giles but it appears as if efforts are being
made to make him the instrument of the
state administration and Cy Leland, If he
do es not keep his eyes open.
There has been one thing in the ad-
ministration of the police department
recently which has been condemned by
everyone It was the employment of
spoilers" against disorderly women.
who would themselves break the law TO I
the purpose of duplicating someone else.
This has been the practice recently in
the raids upon disorderly places. When
the house was raided the spotter, who by
his action had also made himself a law
breaker was allowed to escape, or was
booked at the police station and then al
lowed to go.
In the raid upon the Herman house
this week one of these despicab BILE crea-
lures was sent there ahead of the officers,
They started with him to the police sta
ton and Sergeant Donovan allowed him
to escape" The, sergeant was acting
under orders and under the circum-
stances was not to blame for what he
did, though the public had no way of
knowing the truth of the matter.
While the police department should
employ detectives to ferret out crime, a
man who would visit disorderly house
for the purpose of committing acts by
which the women there were to be
proven guilty, is so low that instead of
being paid for such work he ought to
be tarred and feathered. Aside from the
despicable character of such doings the
spotter himself is a violator of the law.
In exposing and convicting an illegal
liquor seller this is not the case. The
jointist is law breaker while the pur-
chaser is not
What MT. Rodgers Says.
Mr.. Rodgers said to JOURNAL report
er today: "The appointment was a total
surprise to me. About o'clock last
evening the governor called me to his
office and said he was about to remove
Mr.. Foster and asked me if would &C.
cept the place. l told him l ould like
to think it over till after supper, when
told him saw nothing il the way of an
acceptance. The governor then dictated
the letter of removal to Mr.. Foster and
gave me the com mission.
"'I want the prohibitory law enforced,
said the governor to me.
"'It shall be- said !, Il am in favor of
the enforcement of all the laws"
P. l. Bonebrake, ex-president of the
board of police commissioners, said in
speaking of the action of the governor:
II have nothing to say now as to the
matter except that in the police depart
ment the tramp, bum and chicken thief
are accorded hearing. 1t seems to me
that Mr.. Foster should have at least had
the courtesy of being heard before re-
moval"

WANT A WHOLE HOLIDAY.
Men in the Santa Fe shops Desire a
Change
In FHE SCHEDULE OF HOURS,

| So That They Can GeG All OF Saturday
as a HOlIday-Other Kansas Rail
road News.
There is a movement ON foot among
the employees of the Santa Fe shops in
this city to petition the superintendent of
machinery for a change in the working
time.
AZ present the shops are working
eight hours a day, opening at 8 o'clock in
the morning, and since last January have
been closing at noon on Saturdays.
The half holiday on Saturdays is the
cause for the desired change. Is is the
opinion of a majority of the men that if
1t is necessary to cut the working time
each week, it would be to their advant-
age to have an entire day off in place of
the half holidays. the half days work
being made up by change in the work
ing hours. They will therefore ask in
their petition that they be allowed to
work nine hours five days of the week,
with a holiday on Saturday. This will
make the total working time each week
As hours, an addition of one hour over
the present time.
1t is probable that if this change is
asked for by the men it will be acceded
to by the Santa Fe officials. Although
the half holiday plan each week has not
been made a permanent feature, it is IN
doubleday the intention of President
Ripley to continue this reduction in ex-
penses until traffic materially increases.
Last Saturday the shops were closed the
entire day, and will also be shut down
the entire day tomorrow. but this is the
result of unusually light earnings this
month which make a heavy reduction In
expenses necessary.
II is the general impression in railroad
circles, however, that the present ex-
tremely light traffic which has caused
the reductions in the mechanical depart
mont, will not last long. The usual spring
shipments of stock will shortly COM
mence, and at least a portion of the
immense supply of corn stored in this
state will move during the spring and
summer.

terfnne what It's effects may be in the money

producis has been active. Cotton is unchan nced
and somo slackening appears in the foreign
demand. Wheat and corn are higher, without
dlstinct reason Wheat receipts at western
points were almost dou ,lo last year s, but A.
lantic exports were little larger than last year.
