GEORGE CLARK CAUSES DELAY IN
THE SLATED APPOINTMENT.
TELLS A STARTLING TALE.
WILL DO NO MORE THAN TO CAUSE
DELAY, HOWEVER.
Brown Wants an Ex-
ira Session I'm AuSust-Brciden-
thai Says There VIII BE
More Complete Fusion
This Fall.

Topeka, Kas., June 19.-(Special) The
state board of charities had an interesting
time at its meeting in this city to-day, and
as a result the order placing DR.. Pitcher in
charge of the Winfield asylum on July
was revoked. temporarily at least. At the
meeting yesterday it was decided to make
change at Winfield on the date given
above. George Clark, the only Republican
member of the old board that fired Pitcher
entered most vigorous protest. He gave
the board some inside history of Pitcher
that opened the members eyes. After the
meeting was over last evening" the Pop
members told Clark that If he would tell
the same story before DIR. Pitcher to-day
the board would hang up the appointment
He said he would be only too glad to do
so. This morning Pitcher was summoned
before the board and Clark related the
same story. Pitcher denied it in toto. 1t
was in reference to his official conduct and
his private character. The board how
ever, said that, inasmuch as the charges
had been made by member of the board,
they warranted an investigation before the
appointment was made. Clark said to the
other members that he told the story be-
cause ii was his duty as a member Of the
said: Now have made myself clear,
and, If you think 1t is good Populist poll
tics, you can go ahead and appoint
Pitcher" His talk frightened the Pop
members. The board will meet again the
latter part of the month, when il is eX-
pected that Pitcher will receive his COM
mission. Governor Leedy has ordained
that Pitcher shall he appointed supern-
of the board have not the manhood to
resent his dictatorial policy.

SWEET SPRINGS PoSToFFIcE.
Difficulty Which Led TO Delay of
James Smiths Confirmation
Adjusted.

Washington. June 19.-<Speciol) The trou-
ble over the postmastcrship at Sweet
Springs, No. is IN "a fair way toward set
ucment. The president sent to the senate
the name of James Smith. Senator Vest
objected to the confirmation of Smith, and
as the senator claimed Sweet Springs as his
summer Rome request was made to the
postofiice department that Smiths nominal
tiOn bc withdrawn. An investigation of the
opposition in Sweet Springs to Smiths NOM
inatiOn developed that IL was largely due to
the fact that the present postmaster and
Smith could not come to an understanding
as TO what would be a proper adjustment
for the furniturG in the office furnished by
the present postmaster. They have come 10
terms at last, and although Senator Vest
has not as Yet withdrawn his protest IL is
believed at the department that Smiths
nomination Will now 20 through without
much further delaN.

FUSION THIS FALL.
Chairman BreidenthaI Says 1t Will Be
More Complete Than Ever
BEFORE.

Topeka. Kas., June 19.-(Special) Chair
man Breidenthsl. of the Populist state
committee. stated to-day that there would
be more complete fusion of the anti-Re-
publican forces in Kansas on county tick
cts this fall than ever before, and that 1t
will be surprising If the fusionists do not
gain a large number of county officers. He
will not venture any opinion. however, on
the campaign next year. He says IL Is too
far off even to make a guess as to wheth-
er the anti-Republican forces will be
strongly united then. Breidenthal predicts
that the Socialist-Labor party will make
great gains next year and elect at least
fifteen congressman, IL not twenty-five.

Friends Urging Governor Leedy
to Convene the Legislature.

Topeka. Kas., June 19.-(Special) Rep
resontative Brown. of Pratt, cribber of the
Brown maximum freight rate bill. and his
wing of the Populist party are bringing
pressure to bear on Governor Leedy to call
an extra session of the legislature for Au-
gust. Mr.. Brown says that the farmers
can get away from their work better then
than any other time. He is convinced that
his bill can never be passed, but he thinks
a compromise measure can be agreed upon
and thus pull the Pop party out of the
hole. Governor Leedy is afraid to call an
extra session. He is afraid that the mem
bers will not only refuse to pass a maxi
mum freight bill, but will take up and
pass bills abolishing the Metropolitan po-
lice boards, the state board of pardons and
a half dozen other useless boards which
furnish places for ais tools.
