Senator Nelson Loyalty joins in derid-
ing the Wilson bill as a free trade
measure when its author, in introduce
ing it, apologized for the overdose of
protection in it, and in charging it
with responsibility for the panic of
1893. Yet it was this same senator
who, in 1889, declared that he was in
favor of giving the people cheaper
clothing, cheaper fuel and cheaper
shelter-cheaper because relieved of
the burden Of unjust taxation. He now
contends that, because they were given
cheaper clothing, fuel and shelter, the
industrial and manufacturing world
was frightened and both capital and
labor were driven out of active en-
ploymentl" Thus the senator joins

Chief of Police John NJ. Wilkerson
will help to pay the attorneys for his
subordinate and the ofdeers of the force
are expected to contribute. The chief
has always warmly taken the part of
Gaines.
The attorneys for the defense are A
II. Vance. r. B. Welch and D. r. Hite.
Mrs. Cruger sits among the many
women inside the attorneys rail. They
are friends of both families. The crowd
in attendance is not very large compared
with the one which clamored for admit
tance to hear the Coulter case.
The greatest trouble was experienced
in getting jury. The examination was
begun about 9:30 and noon adjournment
WAS taken without one having been
secured.
Perhaps the main point in the case is
whether Gaines was beating Mrs. Rob
bins over the back with hose at the
time Albert Cruger struck him. If he
was doing this, as claimed by the prose-
cution. it will be claimed that Cruger
had right to defend the woman. If,
however, the policeman was simply
pushing her off with his hand, as the
defense wants to prove, the prosecution
will be materially weakened.

GILSEY HOUSE AFIRE.

Guests in the New York Hotel Badly
Frightened Bat No One Hurt
NEW YORK, Feb. 4-Fire started in
the drying room in the basement of the
Gilssy House early today and caused
much excitement among the 224 guests
in the house, many of whom became
hysterical while others fell down stairs
in their efforts to escape from the build
ing.
For a time the Railways were filled
with smoke and there was every indica-
tion that the building would be con-
sumed. The fire was discovered while
the guests were still asleep The watch
man touched off the automatic signals
which communicated with the various
floors of the hotel TO alarm the guests,
aud then hurried to the nearest alarm
box and turned in the fire alarm.
Aroused by the ringing of the auto
matte signals, the guests scrambled out
of bed and iuto whatever clothing they
could first lay their hands on, and then
bolted out of their rooms into the hall
ways. They found them filed with
smoke. There was no end of screaming z
by the women and shouting by the men.
many of whom rushed for the elevator,
while others ran madly for the stair
ways. In their efforts to reach the
ground floor and the street several wo-
men fell down the stairs.
Others crowded into the elevators and
were hurried down to the dining room
floor. The elevators took load after load
of the frightened guests to places of
safety. The women were crowded into
the dining room and the men were al
lowed TO care for themselves Many of
the guests had nothing on but wraps or
pajamas. While in the dining room
a number of the women became
hystericaf and physician had to be sum
moned. The servants were on the sixth
door and thinking that retreat had been
cut off by the flames, made for the fire
escapes and climbed down to the first
floor in the sight of hundreds of people
on the sidewalks
The total damage will not amount to
more than $500.

Gaines, who was a special policeman,
had gone there with Henry Schriber of
Wabaunsee county, to arrest Tom Rob
bins for stealing wagon tongue.
Robbins was a brother-in-1aw of Cru
ger and the latter was at the Robbins
home at the time. After Gaines arrested
his man the other members or the fam
lily tried to get his prisoner away and
Cruger advanced with a piece of wood,
or gas pipe, and hit the policeman.
Gaines jerked his revolver from his
holster and killed Robbins.
The ex- policeman's defense will be
that he was dazed by the blow. He does
not think he would have shot the man if
he had had full use of his faculties.
"If there had been any shoot in me 1
would have shot when he came at me
with the pipe and said, You
-, I'll get you,'" says Gaines.
Gaines appeared in court today clean
shaven, except his sandy moustache. He
is a tall, rather slim man, loosely Joined
together His bones are large He
wears blue uniform without brass but
tons and sits most OF the time with his
arms folded before him. When Gaines
appeared in Justice Furry's court for pre-
liminary examination he had two revoIv-
ers strapped TO him, although not then a
policeman, but there are none on him to-
day.
Gaines was suspended by the police
commissioners few days after the kill
ing and has never been reinstated He
says he will never again be policeman.

Been OutrageOusly Treated.
CHICAGO, Feb. Airs. Lydia Spauld-
ing began suit in the superior court to-
day against the Pullman Palace Car
company and the Denver & Rio Grande
Railway company for -$10U,000 damages
for alleged false arrest and Imprisonment
Mrs. Spalding, who according to the
bill, is "a hotel keeper in San Francisco,
claims that last June she bought a
ticket over the Denver & Rio Grande,
from Santa Fe to Denver, and a ticket
from the latter city to New York, whence
she expected to sail for Europe
She also purchased at San Francisco
a sleeping Car ticket to Denver The
plaintiff alleges that when the train
stopped at Leadville she was taken from
the Pullman car and conveyed to the
Leadville jail, not even being given
time to all her clothing
feet square, in which there were ten male
prisoners, some of them locked up for
desperate crimes.
The room, the plaintiff says, was filthy
and filed with vermin aud the walls
covered with obscene pictures. She
remained in Jail forty eight hours
when she was released. Mrs. Spaiding
says that no charge was preferred
against her and at no time was she taken
she had several thousand dollars
in money upon her person
and quantity of variable
jewelry, all of which was taken from her
and never recovered.
1t is charged thasthe arrest was brought
about by employees of the sleeping car
company with the object of robbery and
that they were successful in that object.

made any complaint, Or charged her
with any offense for which she was ar

CY LELAND'S TRAP

| To Divide Shawnee County So as to
Render Hts Opposition to Him
Harmless.
Major T. J. Anderson has finally, after
much coaxing, decided to be candidate
| for delegate at large to the Republican
national convention and has made a for
NAL announcement of his candidacy.
Major Anderson said to a STATE JOUR-
NAL reporter today: 81 really do not like
the idea of going into politics again, as
said when 1 went out of the postoffice
was through with poIitics except as a
voter 1t is only after being urged by
my friends and being petitioned by them
to enter this race that have finally con-
sented to do So"
| Major Anderson said he was not for
| Cy Leland or against him for national
committeeman. but thought that it would
| be time t , elect national committeeman
after the president is nominated. He said
he would expect to make his entire fight
in Shawnee county, and if he succeeds in
taking this county away from Judge J.
B johnson, he W ill use that prestige in
asking support from other counties.
He said he would not make fight out in
the state.
that Major Anderson's candidacy is a Cy
Leland scheme to bring a light on John
son in his home county and if possible
in that way prevent his working out in
the state.
The fact that the names of L s. Ferry
and T. +. Dorau appear on the petition
asking Major Anderson to be a candi-
date as is pointed out gives color to the
statement that it is Leland scheme.
MIR. Doran was deputy revenue col
lector under Cy Leland, has always been
recognized as LeIand's leading striker
in Shawnee county. Mr.. Ferry, Mr.
Doran's law-partner, is police judge, to
which position he was appointed by the
board of police commissioners at the
dictation of Cy Leland through Gov
ernor Morrill,.
Mr.. Ferry receives $75 month for his
services as police judge and the money
goes into the treasury of the law firm of
Ferry & Dorau. Mr.. Ferry has made
the unqualified statement that he does
not owe bis appointment to any of the
young politicians around Topeka or
older ones either. He is quoted as say
ing that tom Doran got that job for
him through his influence with Cy Leland
and that at Cy Leland's direction Cover
nor Morrill, dictated TO the board of po-
lice commissioners whom they should
appoint as police jndge."
The fact that these gentlemen are
supporting Major Anderson in this kind
of a fight it is said clearly shows that it
is part of Cyrus Leland's programme.
Major Anderson's candidacy is also
considerably embarrassed by the fact
that the man who was most interested in
circulating petitions asking him to run
for delegate is Mr.. j. G. Slonecker
Whether with good reason or other
wise does not appear, but it is a known
fact that Mr.. Sionecker considers Judge
]. B johnson his bitter enemy and ever
since Judge Johnson's candidacy was
first announced, Mr. SIonecker has been
looking for an opportunity to head him
off from his ambition.
