WILL POLITICS RUN 1T
Or Will Ilse Best Chief of Police To-
peka Ever Had BE Restored?


The resignation of Chief of Police
Wilkerson is in the hands of the
board of police commissioners.
He submitted it last evening
with the positive statement that he
would refuse to serve longer as chief of
police. The resignation will be accepted,
and there will be fight for the appoint
ment as his successor.
Following the regular rule Captain
John w. Gardiner would be promoted to
the position of chief, and in this case it
would be refreshing to see the commits
sioners do the right thing.
Captain Gardiner has spent many
years in the police service in Topeka.
He has filled every position
from patrolman to chief, and no man is
better acquainted with the criminal ele-
ment in Topeka. If the police depart
ment were conducted outside the bane-
full influence of politics, Capt Gardiner
would be promoted without a protest
from the board or anyone else.
A great effort is being made to secure
the appointment of Sergeant Frank Eli
son as chief OF course a good part of
sion element and his appointment
would mean their victory, though
the Masonic fraternity is also
attempting to secure his appointment.
1t would be an unheard of thing for an
officer who was reprimanded for one of
the most gross violations of duty while
in charge of the night force, only a week
or two ago, to be now elevated to the po-
sition of chief over the heads of two
other officers who have always done
their duty, but politics will accomplish
almost any thing.
If Captain Gardiner is appointed chief
Sergeant Donovan will probably be pro-
NOTED to the captaincy and PAtroIman
McElroy, Lucas or Owens who have all
made excellent records will move up to
the vacant place.
The resignation of Chief Wilkerson
was the result of the Pickett trial for
damages. He says that there is no doubt
that Judge Hazen is right when he
holds that under the recent de-
cisions an officer is liable for dam
ages when an arrest is made without
a warrant He said: 81 can not afford
to keep the position. / have some prop
erty, and it may be swept away almost
any time. There are now damage suits
amounting to almost $100,0 900 against me,
and / can not afford to have any more
brought. and SO the easiest way is to get
out"
The lack ofharmony among the off,
GERS probably has more to do with the
action of Chief WiIkerson, however, than
the fear of damage suits. The chief has
not been consulted when patrolmen were
named and he has been treated
very much as nonenity. Sergeant Eli
son was an applicant for the position of
chief and his position as sergeant was
naturally somewhat EN- barrassing.
President Foster of the police board
said today that chief may not be elect
ed tonight though there will prOba bly, be
an election. He says that the only
application for the position outside
the force is from Captain H. NJ. Phillips
who is in command of battery B. &. n G.
Capt Phillips has been an active Repub-
lican but he has had no experience with
the police department.
The man for the pla ce is John Gardi-

Small Item
In the Present River and Har-
Dor Bill.

From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 30 Congressman
Miller, who has had the case of Ex-Con-
sui John L. Waller in charge, is uncer-
tain whether any attempt will be made
to do anything further in Walters be-
half. Waller now having his liberty, he
says, nothing else can be done except to
protect him in his rights to his conces-
sion in Madagascar.
Efforts in such a direction he thinks
would be better made under an admins
tration more favorable to Waller than
the present one.
1t is dou btful therefore if the Kansas
delegation will attempt to do anything
further at present. Waller's release, the
most urgent point, being gained, matters
of indemnity and his rights in Madagas-
car are not so pressing.

RIGHTS OF coRPoRArroNs.

Congressman Broderic<'s Bill to Save
Railroads from KeOrGanizinG.
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Feb. 90. - Represents
tive Broderick has introduced a bill pro-
viding that whenever a sale of the road
equipment, lands, franchises, privileges,
and other rights and property of the At
lantic & Pacific railroad company is made
by virtue of any mortgage or other
power authorized by act of congress, the
purchasers at such sale, and their asso-
ciates or assigns, shall constitute a new
company, which shall have and shall be
entitled to exercise the same rights,
powers. privileges, grants, and fran
chises, including the franchise to be a
corporation.
MIR. Broderick explains that now when
railroad is sold by the supreme court
the purchasers have not the rights of the
corporation which did exist but have to
reorganize as a new corporation. The
price which can be obtained for the rail
road properties is therefore less than it
would be if the purchasers succeeded to
the rights and privileges of the former
company.

the Brown Trial.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 29.-Miss Matte
Overman has taken the public further
into her confidence and with every ap-
pearance of unconcern confesses her
own shame and dishonor On Thursday
night she had declared that several
months ago she had repented her attempt

she was a crafty, planning liar, until
last Saturday night. when she deter
mined to tell the truth, and for the first
time explained to the Rev. DR.. Brown
the full meaning of the letters she
wrote.to Mrs Tunnel rejecting on MI
Browns morality.
Miss Overman was too Ill to continue
her testimony last night and she YVES ex-
cused until next Tuesday.
Capt. w Z. Cool testified that in the
Howard bible class in what used to be
the pastors study, but is now the PASTORS
Office, he was introduced by Dr. Brown

attacked the witness fercely on cross
examination.
Don't you know / have had such an
opinion of you for two years that 1 would

Pastor Brown, shaking his pencil me-

"Do you think / would tell lie in the

Brown.

OVER THE VETO.
The Arizona Land Lease Bill GoeI
Through by Big Majority.


Through by Big Minority.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29-The Arizona
land lease bill was today passed over the
presidents veto 200 to 8.
Mr., Lacey, chairman of the public
lands committee, in support of the bill
said that the house was confronted with
the constitutional interference of the
president on bill that had passed both
houses unanimously.
Mr. Lacey explained that the bill was
identical with that authorizing Oklahe-
ma to lease her educational lands for
school purposes, which had been pre-
pared and passed by the last congress at
the request of the secretary of the
interior and the commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office. As result of the Okla
homa bill. $4,000 had been realized in
that territory last year, while under the
former system but $4,000 had been OBJ
tanned. Was it now implied, he asked,
that the governor of Arizona was not
as competent to lease these lands as the
secretary of the interior 1890 miles

TODAY'S PRIMARIES.
Impossible at This Hour TO Predict
Which VIII Win.

The Republican primaries to elect del
egates to the two county conventions to
be held next Wednesday, are being held
this afternoon.
The polls opened at o'clock and will
close at z o'clock.
There are large numbers of workers at
the polls in each ward looking after the
interests of Major T. J. Anderson and
Judge j. b. johnson, who are contesting
for the Shawnee county delegation to
the state convention.
The voting is lively in most of the pre-
cincts, but it is impossible to predict the
result.
There is no opposition to the Curtis
delegates to the congressional conven-
tion, and that part of the election is sim
ply a matter of form.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 29-Kansas con-
gressmen are just now flooded with ap-
plications for seeds. But there are no
seeds. Secretary Morton still refuses
to distribute any under the old appro-
priation aud the resolution in this con-
gress requiring him TO do so will not be-
come effective in time to do any good
this year.
1t is perfectly useless therefore for re.
quests to be made upon congressman for
seeds because they are unable to have
any sent out Constituents will save
themselves disappointment and their
congressman trouble by remembering
that the secretary of agriculture has es :
teemed himself greater than congress
aud refuses to recognize its action in pro-
viding for free seed distribution.
