RAILROAD BILL PASSES.
A Protest Filed by Many of the Pop
ulist Members

Representative Outcalt was the only
Populist member of the house who
stood out against the will of the ma
jority and voted against the railroad
bill on final passage.
The vote was taken at o'clock yes
terday afternoon and the bill was
passed by a vote of 121 to l. 1t was
Immediately sent to the senate.
The support of the measure by the
Populists is explained by the following
protest, filed for record in the journal
of the house:
"First-We protest against this bill
because it is not the measure we have
promised the people.
'Second-Because this measure has
met with the full approval of the rail-
road lobby, and because we believe it
was drawn at the suggestion of the
railroad attorneys of this state and de-
spite the fact that this bill has met
the sanction and approval of men high
in our party, we feel that it is a make
shift and an evasion, a compromise,
and we are convinced of the fact that
a compromise is no more nor less than
a defeat.
yet. feeling that we have done all
we could to redeem our pledges, and
inspired by the hope that our worst
fears may not be realized, and that
some good may result from the passage
of this measure, we are constrained to
vote aye"

cause of amendments made in the
house.

SENATORS ANGRY.
They Denied the Charges Made by R.

SKETCHOFMAYOR FELLOWS
Particular Mention of the Present
Candidate for Reelection.

few days ago the Journal presented
sketch of DR.. ]. 3. Hibben, who is a
candidate for mayor on the Republican
ticket. Today it presents a sketch of
Mayor Charles Fellows, who is a candi-
date for reelection:
Mayor Charles A. Fellows was born in
Albany, N. Y, on May IS, 1862. He re-
ceived his early education at Home
Lawn seminary in that county, and
learned the carpenters trade under his
father, who was a well known contrac-
tor. He came to- Kansas in 1884 and
worked at his trade in Wamego one
year. He then removed to Topeka and
continued at his trade until 1888, when
he formed a partnership with F. E.
VanSant in general contracting bust
ness.
Among the buildings built by Mayor
Fellows are the Dickinson county high
school, the Temple, Texas hospital, the
Kansas building at the Worlds fair,
an addition to Campbell university at
Holton, Mount st. Mary's academy at
LeaVenWOrth,th the Spooner library build
1nP at Lawrence, the new Crawford
opera house at ST. Joseph and numerous
Santa Fe depots between Chicago and
Denver.
When Mayor Fellows was married in
1885 at Wamego he was employed as
foreman the John d. Knox mansion
in Potwin- The affair was as simple s
1T could well be. The marriage was
Rolemnized in the evening. Mr.. Fellows
brought his bride to Topeka at once
and the next morning at o'clock he
was in his place among the carpenters
in POtwin earning $2.75 per day.
1t was his work on the John D. Knox
mansion that first gave Mayor Fellows
a start He attracted the attention of
Mr.. Knox, who was then a leading
banker, and Jonathan Thomas, who Is
capitalist and lumber merchant. These
two men started Mayor Fellows and his
partner into the contracting business
for themselves, and after that Mr.. Eel
lows worked no more by the day, and
1t was not long until the firm had
place in the front rank in Topeka.
In 1890 Mr.. Fellows had his first taste
of politics. He was elected to the city
council from the Fourth ward and serv-
ed until he was elected mayor, two
years ago.
Mayor Fellows has not been known as
q politician, but he has developed apti-
aude in politics. He has held the re-
sponsible position of mayor of Topeka
for two years.
No matter how honest or we'll mean
Sng the mayor of Topeka may be, there
Is seldom one who does not make ser
9ouS mistakes. Mayor Fellows has kept
close to the council. He has never at
tempted to run counter to the senti-
ments of that body, and if any serious
mistakes had been made their RESPONSE
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1897-03-03
bility would have been shared with the

bility would have been shared with the
city fathers.
While Mayor Fellows is not fluent
speaker, he has, perhaps, had more de-
mandS made upon him in the line of
speechmaking than any mayor Topeka
ever had. He has responded to no less
than so invitations to address dairy
mems conventions, agricultural socie-
ties, medical conventions, soldiers
meetings, and the speeches he delivered
have always read well. They are not too
long and they are sensible.
Mayor Fellows is the youngest mayor
Topeka has ever had. He is but So years
old and his only experience in public
life was secured during the two terms
he served in the council and the two
years ne has been mayor of Topeka. He
lives at us Lincoln street in a cottage
which has been his home for years.
There are different methods of pro-
ceedure in politics. Mayor Fellows be-
HeveS in the quiet kind of a campaign.
He works under cover
Mayor Fellows now has the support
of many good citizens which he did not
have before, while on the other hand he
has lost that of a large number who
helped him to his first term
The State Journal is not committed to
any candidate in the present campaign.
Our citizens are well acquainted with
both the young men who are candi-
dates. Both have many good qualities
The Journal will present the claims of
each fully and fairly, and the people
must choose between them for them
selves

and I told the reporter, and I swear to
God that told the truth. 1 did not de-

of this body, but I thought it my duty
to tell the truth. If the boodler did not
tell me the truth, certainly am not to

Senator Helmick followed Senator Ii
tuS:
my name was also included in the
interview said he. Il never knew that
there was such a man as Boyd. 1t is
certainly very fiimsy authority for any
person to cast reflections on senators
from the statement of a man of this
character. Such a man as Boyd never
accosted me, and L leave it to the SEN
ators to judge if there was ever such
man as Boyd on the floor of this SEN

Senator Lewelling: 81 want to say
that the paragraph as far as am con-
cerned is absolutely false My position
on this matter is we'll known. 1 have
always believed in strict legislation for
the regulation of the stock yards, and
I want to say to the senator from the
short grass country (Titus) that l will
answer to my constituents for my act
ions, but not to him.
Senator Helm: My name was also
included in the paragraph. This is the
first time that 1 have ever heard that
1 was anything but an honest man.
have never been approached by any
such a man as Boyd. I have always
been in favor of placing the stock yards
under the control of a commission, and
voted in this way today"
Senator Farreley: MY name was too
in that list. I think the senator from
Harper has done a great injustice to
the senators named. But am charita-
BILE enough to believe that it was not
done in a malicious spirit, but rather
under the pressure of excitement. be-
lieve that it will be a lesson to the
young man. (Senator Titus is the
youngest member of the senate) AS
far as I am concerned the statement is
absolutely untrue
Senator Titus again took the floor.
This time he said:
IF the senators will examine that ar
ticle carefully, 1 think that they will
find that there is nothing that casts
reflection upon them. L certainly meant
none. The actions of the senators on
this floor during this session prove
more than 1 can say in regard to their
record. They seem to be willing to stand
on their record, and am ready to stand
on mine"
Here the matter was dropped and the
investigation of Tutcher taken up.

MCCORMICK ARRESTED.
His Investigation was Short and
Nothing New was Shown.

AS a sequel to the occurrences which
caused the warrants to be issued for
Boyd and Tutcher yesterday morning
a third warrant was issued for a man
named George Mccormick yesterday
afternoon. Mccormick is a grocery
man of Clay Center, Kan, and his ar
rest came about in the following man
ner.
Shortly after the converting of the
senate yesterday afternoon Senator
Johnson secured the attention of the
senate and said:
Il have been told that the sergeant
alarms has stated that I telephoned
r. S. Boyd this morning that a war
rant had been issued for him. I want
to say that I don't know this man
Boyd. that I never to my knowledge
saw him, and that I don't know that
there is such man living"
Here Senator Campbell took the floor.
II think 1 can explain said he. This
rumor originated with a man named
Mccormick, who I understand stated
that Senator johnson had telephoned
sdrhen want to say that Mr.. McCor-
mick is a malicious liar" said Senator
Johnson.
Mccormick was arrested on motion
of Senator Sterne and shortly after
wards brought before the bar of the
senate and examined. He stated that
he was in the telephone room of the
senate when Senator Johnson entered
the telephone box to use the telephone
He said that he did not hear what Sen
ator johnson said over the telephone,
and never made a statement to the eff
feet that johnson had been talking
with Boyd.
Mccormick was then discharged, and
on motion of Senator Forney, Sergeant
alarms Gray was brought up for ex-
animation in reference to what he
heard.
Mr.. Gray stated that he was in the

telephone room for few seconds while
Senator Johnson was using the tele-
phone, and that he heard him say that
a warrant had been issued for Boyd,
and that something was up.
This concluded the investigation.
In reference to the matter Senator
Johnson said:
4 did not go to the telephone to tele-
phone anyone, but was called there I
will not say who the party is that
called me up just now, but it was not
in reference to anything concerning the
legislature. It was not party who
is in any way connected with anything
concerning the legislature. I don Z
know now whether 1 viii say anything
further about the matter before the
senate
