HOW TOPEKA LOST.
Explanation Of Why the Festival
Chorus Failed to Win at Ottawa.

Members Of the Festival chorus which
was beaten at Ottawa by both EmpOria
and Ottawa Choruses. offer the follow
ing explanation Of how It happened:
The director. II IS alleged. had given
up all hopes Of even second prize sew
eraI days before the contest on &C
count Of delinquency Of singers in at
tending rehearsals- He had mentioned
this prospective defeat. however. only
to a few Of the committee. as he wanted
the chorus to have the benefit Of the
participation in the contest and in the
Creation The average number Of
singers al the last few rahear sals was
not over SO. and yet the chorus that
sang for the prize at Ottawa numbered
L16-
Emp0ria and Ottawa choruses had
every member present at every re-
hearsaL This seems TO be one reason
why Topeka got licked
The different musical professors and
directors of ability said Topeka should
have first prize SO far as the Elijah
number was concerned but that she
might be beaten on second uuTnbe Dy
E-uporfa- One competent judge who
has heard the same Elijah number
BY the Boston Handel and Haydn, -
by the Worcester Festival chorus and
numerous other Of the older organiza-
tfous said that T0peka's rendition was
bv far the best and most artistic he
had ever heard, and that the monot0n-
Gus rendition by the other choruses
were unartistfc and not up to date
The sdiudfCatOr. Mr. Matthews OF
Chicago said that Emporia and Otta-
va both gave IL better than IOpek4
did and his opinion was what settled
the matter While the members OF the
committee and Of the chorus feel a ut
tie blue over their defeat by one man :
opinion. they are satisfied with the
work they have done and they are en-
thusiastic in their discrimination to
whip everything in sight next season

The committee fled the financial
statement with the report 70 the gov
ernCr- The important features Of the
report except the minority report sub
mitred by the Republican member Of
the committee Frank Grimes. were
given in the State Journal Saturday
evening
Mr. Grimes report which IS trans
mttted TO the governor with that Of the
majority OF the committee. says
II Is my opinion that the testimony
that had heretofore been given TO the
committee consisted of surnise. fla
vOrad principally with perjury. and was
the outgrovTLh Of Jealousy and political
quarrels-
The committee seems to have been
appointed for the purpose OF finding
something and having been dISappoInC-
ed desired in a ma 0rity report 10 i'm

prove
I am as fully anxious as is any mem
Der Of the majority 10 see evil prac-
tees reprOached and punished. and as
far as I am concerned did all in my
power TO Investigate the facts. but the
evidence which was given in does not
IN any way carry out the majority re-
port, and If the members signing the
report believed differently they are IN
der obligations as good citizens 20 i'm
mediately bring criminal prosecution ID
test the strength OF their opinions
As TO whether or not a special seS-
sion should be held, that is something
that this committee has no business
with Any report On that matter is
simply buncome-
a special session costs a thousand
dollars a day, and If the honorable
gentlemen VINO compose the legislature
are OF the character that the majority
report seems 70 indicate, the people
don't want them TO sit again
The suggestion in the ajority re
port is no doubt true that the com
rnitree was considerably hampered by
the questions raised from the begin
ming by the various persons as 10 the
legality Of the committee The under
signed believes that Illegal c0nbIna-
tons and proceedings and designs are
very often hampered by courts but the
courts generally in the end decide
about right IN this case there vas
no question upon that point, which fully
sustains the position OF those who IN

Ke:cham was awarded verdict of
$22 900 by jury in Judge Clifford s
court this morning in suit against
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
for $25, 200 damages for being blacklist
ing: Ketchan was blacklissed for
participating in the strike of 1894. The
railroads attorney will appeal The
C ase, but Attorney Strong ASSERTS that
he will fight them through to the high
est court in the country, such confid-
ence has be in the right cf the claim.
Other sui,s will be at once instituted.
The Ketcham case is an important
one ipasmuch as the outcome concerns
the laboring classes all over the coun-
try. The case as one of q number
brought against the railroad companies
as result of the great s,rike of 1894.
1t was tried once before but the jury
failed to agree. The finding of jury
estab ishes an important precedent as
t gives the labor'ng men rights to
l. clare themselves in times of strikes
and other labor differences.
