Chief of the B. of l. E. Thinks They
Have Passed the Limit.

Cleveland, April 15.-Chief P. NJ. Ar
Engineers gave his opinion today on
the injunction granted by the federal
court in the Consolidated Steel and
Wire strike He said:
1T is necessary for the men to obey
the courts injunction. The Brother
hood of Engineers has been all through
the injunction mill and has a case now
pending in the United States supreme
court which will determine the valid
:ty of that style of government. In my
opinion, the injunction has gone to
lengths which are not permissible in
a. court of equity. No tribunal can stop
men from holding conversations with
other men provided no intimidation is
used. Every court since this was

of any citizen to use the power of
moral suasion. I am of the opinion
that the injunction will not stand

wellington, April 17.-Upon the sugges-
ton of County Treasurer Maddy the
board of county commissioners have
adopted a resolution that will cause the
redemption OF hundreds of town lots in
Sumner county that have long since pass
ed out of the original owners hands
On the first Tuesdays of each Septern-
Der from 1874 to 1898 the county has Dur-
chased all the tax sales certificates on
delinquent town lots for the amount of
taxes and penalties that We're charged
against them. Each year additional in
terest and penalties were charged against
the lots until the costs of REDEMPTION in
many cases exceeded the value of the

The resolution adopted by the board
at it's present meeting allows the owner
of any town lot or lots bought by the
county during those years that have not
in the meantime been assigned to anyone
else, to come in and redeem the. same by
paying up all back taxes. The county

CALVIN HAYES CONVICTED.
Jury Finds That He EmbezzIed $40
From a Client.

At 2:15 o'clock this afternoon the jury
in the case of the state against Calvin
Hayes returned a verdict of guilty of
enbezzlement. The jury placed the
amount embezzled at $40.
Calvin Hayes is the manager of the
Topeka Produce company and has been
in the commission business in this city
for the past twelve years. Last No
vember Thomas w. Pelham shipped
him two car loads of apples from New
York, which he was to sell on commits
sion, but Pelham claimed that he failed
to send him the price of the apples and
kept the entire proceeds arising from
the sale of the fruit He had Hayes
arrested on the charge of enbeZzlement
last January.
The defense that Hayes made was to
the effect that a large quantity of the
apples were spoiled when he received
them, and that he was not able to re-
alize on them. He claimed that in
stead of owing Pelham, the New Yorker
was indebted to him, and after his ar
rest brought suit against Pelham for
the amount of his commission.
Hayes was placed in the county jail
this afternoon His attorneys have
filed a motion for a new trial.
