wORKINGFOR GEN.HowARD
Dick Blue is Supporting Him as
Franklin Substitute.
From our Special Correspondent

From Our Special Correspondent.
Washington, April 14.-It is believed
that Congressman Blue and others op-
posed to Governor Smith will support
General o. 0. Howard as a substitute
for General Franklin on board of man
ayers of soldiers home. Howard, it is
said would accept. Opponents of
Gov. Smith are making a hard fight
for him.
Representative Steele. one Of the
members of the board Of managers, it
is said. has received a 1ettel from Gov
ernOr Morrill, endorsing boEh Smith and
Franklin and Blue is today very much
incensed at Morrill, for his action. Sol
diers' home election resolution viii

In regard to the above dispatch from
Was shingtOn that Congressman Blue is
greatly iucensed at a rumor that Gov
ernOr Morrill, had taken sides in the
national soldiers home controversy,
Governor Morrill, said this afternoon to
a State Journal reporter:
Il received a telegram last night from
Congressman Blue, in which he asked
me whether the rumOr we're true or
not.
Il answered him that it was not. The
truth of the matter is this:
Il was a member of the board Of
managers of the soldiers home for
over three years and was instrument
tai in the Introduction of the Keeley
Institutes.
Fl also knew something about the
methods used When this matter
came up. though I took no sides what
ever in the controversy, I wrote Rep
resentattve Steele, a member of the
board of managers, a letter in which I
said I thought no force was used in re-
quiring inmates to take the cure.
TT was no endorsement of either
Franklin or Gov Smith, but merely the
expression of my opinion, which I felt
called upon to give.
1T was to this letter. and under a
miscOnstruction or misunderstanding
of the same. I suppose, to which Con
gressman Blue took exception"

THEY ARE HERE.
American Volunteers and Salvation
Army Will Rival Each Other
Tonight

Topeka now has a fun hedged or
ganization of The American VoIun-
ters, the seceeding branch Of the Sal
walton Army, and there is trouble
ahead.
The new organization has drawn
from the ranks of the Army and the
rebels are making a canvass of the
city to raise funds to furnish and light
their new hall,
J. d. Jencks, who is one of the Off
GERS of the Volunteers in Topeka, is
somewhat exercised about the action
of Mulvane. I'VE have a right to so
licit subscription . said he today, "and
there is no attempt made to deceive
anyone The subscription paper states
plainly for what the funds are to be
used Let it be known that the Saliva
ton Army has no authority over this
new movement and we do not ask their
permission to solicit for the further
ance of its cause We are distinctively
American and we ask only Americans
to support the movement. What mon
ey We get will be used here and not
shipped across the water to bespangIe
the rich wardrobe of royalty.
The Volunteers win hold street meet
ings just as the Salvation Army does.
The first meeting, Mr.. Jencks says, will
be held tonight at the corner of Fifth
street and Kansas avenue. This is also
the place at which the meetings Of
the Army are held and the two meet
ings will probably divide the attention
of the people on the streets.
The Volunteers have rented a hall at
312 Kansas avenue and they expect to
have it ready for occupancy next Sun
day, when Brigadier General Fielding
who is at the head Of the Volunteers in
the west will probably be present.
