ACCUSED OF BRIBERY
Leland Said to Have Improperly
Offered Money to Capper
and McNeal.

Attorney General Boyle said today:
IF can secure evidence in support of
the charge that Cy Leland offered Tom
McNeal or Arthur Capper $50 to hold
back the stock yards bill and not pub
lish it in the official paper, I will at
once begin criminal proceedings against
him"
The story that Leland made an Of
for $50 referred to by Mr.. Boyle was
one which the investigating committee
had intended to spring, but the decis-
ion of the supreme court prevented.
Consequently Representative O. O.
Outcalt before going home yesterday
made a statement in which he impli-
Gated Leland in the alleged boodling
point, an effort to bribe the publishers
of the Mail and Breeze.
AS the stock yards bill, known as the
JaqutnS measure, was passed by the
legislature, it reduced the charges at
the yards and other items of expense
to which patrons were subjsGted at
least one-haf This was something
which Leland did not desire to see done
and he made an earnest effort to pre-
vent the publication of the bill, but was
unsuccessful, and it became a law.
Both McNeal and Capper admit that
Leland made them the offer of $50 to
hold the bill back if but for a week
It was evidently Leland'S scheme to get
it reconsidered and secure some chang
upo1A<his friends, the stock yards com
pany, for which he was the grand chief
lobbyist
When questioned concerning the
transaction, Mr. Capper was 10th to
discuss it, but admitted that Leland had
made such an offer. Asked if he could
explain Leland's reason for wanting the
bill held back, Mr.. Capper said: mo.
l confess cannot I have my own
ideas about it, but it is simply a theory
which do not care to discuss
Tom McNeal said: Yes Leland
came to Topeka and asked me to pre-
vent the publication of the bill the
week in which it was passed by both
houses. 1 told him, we had no discre-
ton in the matter but would publish it
when so ordered by the secretary of
state. I had a talk with Capper about
it, and he conceded in my opinion
saw Mr.. Bush and told him a party rep
resenting the stockyards had asked us
to withhold the bill, but we would not
do so unless he authorized it. He de-
clined to hold the bill back and ordered
US to print it, which we did
Asked if Leland made him specific
offer, -McNeal said: Yes he intimated
that the stOckyards company did not
ask people to work for them for Moth
ing, and told me I could get $50 for pre-
venting the publication of the bill See
ing that I did not look favorably on the
proposition, he intimated that 1 could
get more if 1 desired"
For this one act Mr.. Boyle SAYS he
will prosecute Leland if he can get
good evidence. If there is any better
evidence on earth than that which Cap
per and McNeal could give, or evidence
which would be more quickly accepted
by the court, Mr.. Boyle will never find
it. The testimony of those men alone
would be unimpeachabIe, as both are
men of the highest integrity, "even
though engaged in the newspaper bust
ness" as one of their friends put it to-
day.

LONDON ALARMED.
Fears for the Safety of the Queen Dur
ing the Jubilee.

New York, June IA dispatch to
the Journal from London says:
The English papers briefly comment
on the attempt on Faures life. but do
not give it political Importance. The
event produced great uneasiness in the
public mind, enhanced by the approach
of the jubilee, since it is recognized that
there is always the possibility that
some fanatic or madman may make an
attempt on the life of the queen during
her progress through the city on the
22nd.
All sorts of sensational rumors are
circulating, one being that the police
intend to take some action with re-
spect to persons now in Soho, the for
eign quarter of this city. This would
probably mean that the authorities are
about to make arrests on quite whole
sale scale, and that suspects, being
brought up at Bow street, would be re-
manded for week to enable the pO-
lice to make inquiries.
At the expiration of that period and
when the jubilee is over the police
would offer no evidence and they would
be released. Improbable as this may
sound, savOring so much of German
and French police tactics, there is no
doubt that many foreigners believed it
and left London.

HAYES SENTENCED.
Judge Hazen Gives Hin Two Years
in the Penitentiary.

There was a sensational scene in the
district court room today when Calvin
Hayes. the aged commission merchant,
convicted of embezzlement, was
brought before the court for sentence.
With tears in his eyes and trembling
hands he stood before Judge Hazen and
made a plea for Justice"
Hayes was pale when he was brought
into the court room by Deputy Shee-
han. He sat near o. J. Hit, one of his
attorneys, and talked to him eXcitedly
while Judge Hazen was diSpOSing of
some small motion. When Judge Ha-
zen turned to Hayes and asked him
what he had to say, Hayes arose
Yes, have something to say" said
Hayes I know have been convicted
by a jury, but I am not guilty I don't
owe this man who had me arrested one
cent but 1 can prove on the other hand
that he owes me about $75.
There was one man on the jury who
wanted to be fair. He held the jury for
19 hours because he believed that I was
not guilty. He finally consented to a
conviction under pressure, and I have
here his AFFIDAVIT
Hayes then proceeded to show how
the transaction under which he was ar
rested was perfectly honorable on his
part. He said that the apples con-
signed to him by Mr.. Pelham were not
Saleable.

lived in Topeka for u years and can

dealings with them 1 was willing to
pay Mr.. Pelham all owed him. but I
was not willing to pay him more, and
am not now. I am an old man. have
a family of eight children and an aged
mother who is dependent upon Nne for
support. This is a shame, a burning
shame"
Mine is not a. pleasant duty" said
Judge EIazen, but you have been con
victed by a jury, and it is necessary for
me to pass sentence. It is the order of
the court that you be confined in the
penitentiary at hard labor for a term
of two years"
Hayes made no reply to the sentence.
Once he started to interrupt the judge,
but was checked by his attorney.
The case Will be taken to the su-
preme court and Hayes will probably
not be taken to the penitentiary for
some time. Hayes is an old offender
though he has never been before the
court before. Many people who have
made consignments to him have COM
planned that they were never paid
Since his arrest there has been one
complaint of that kind from a man who
consigned him a car load of potatoes.

drawn by Cleveland.
Does Not Prescribe any Partic-
ular Form of Government.
United States Will Pay the
Islands Debts.

Washington, June IA treaty for
the annexation of Hawaii to the Uni
ted States will be sent to the senate
soon after the return of the president
unless present plans are altered. The
treaty has been written and all its de-
tails were fully agreed upon before the
president and Secretary Sherman left
for the south. There is no doubt, it is
said, of the presidents acquiescence in
the terms of the treaty, for the reason
that he was made fully aware of them
before he left.
The treaty is on the general lines of
the treaty negotiated during the ad-
ministratiOn of President Harrison and
withdrawn by President Cleveland. It
provides for annexation without the
eXactiOn of conditions on the part of
the Hawaiians as to the form of gov
ernment to be VOuchsafed to Hawaii
leaving that question to be entirely
disposed of by the government of the
United States. The United States will
agree, however, to assume the debt of
the present Hawaiian government, but
will come into possession of all the
Hawaiian crown lands and other pos
sessions.
Several senators have received defin-
ite information concerning the exist
ence of the treaty and are we'll ac-
quainted with its terms, though they
refuse to discuss the matter. The
knowledge of the existence of the
treaty has been communicated to mem
bers of the committee on foreign rela-
tiOnS and to the finance committee. In
the Republican caucus the subject of
the treaty had been limited at but in
rather a vague manner. Senators as
serted that there were in progress ne
gOtiatiOns looking to annexation, but
they would not aver that they knew
a treaty had been drawn, nor would
they give any assurances that it would
soon be sent to the senate. In private
conversation with other senators, how
ever, they gave information that was
whom they talked, that the treaty was
now drawn and only awaiting the sig
nature of the two governments to com
plete it.
It is known that the approval of the
committee on foreign relations is as
sured, as eight members of the COM
mite have approved its terms. This
will enable the cOmmituee to speedily
report the treaty to the senate so that
it may be taken up Immediately after
the tariff bill is disposed of. The SEN
ate has been canvaSsed to a certain
extent by senators favOring annexation
and while there are some senators who
are non-committal, the supporters of
the proposition say they believe they
can count upon the tWO-thirdS vote
necessary to insure ratification. The
especial friends of the president about
the senate say that the treaty was
made in accordance with his views and
that it would have been sent in some
time ago but for his eXactiOns as to
details

IN WATER A LONG TIME.
Policemen Drink Liquor to Warm
Themselves Up and Take Too
Much

Patrolmen Jas. S Kesson and B. F.
Kidney of the police force have been
suspended from duty by Chief of PO-
lice Henry Steele pending an investi-
cation by the police board of charges of
drunkenness which have been made
against them.
Both men are on night duty this
month. Saturday night they worked at
the Santa Fe bridge searching for the
body of Will Henry, who was drowned
there. They were in the water for a
long time, and when they came out
they are said to have taken liquor to
warm themselves up. Their bodies
being weakened by exposure to the
water is given as the cause for their
not being able to endure the exhilara-
ton. They are said to have gone on
their beats in an intoxicated condition
and when ordered off duty by Sergeant
Owen refused to obey him. Chief
Steele was called upon for authority,
which resulted in their being sent home

Kidney were not. Mr.. Wilson Keith,
member of the police board did not
wish to talk of the matter when asked
by a reporter but finally said: I'VE
didn't hold any meeting about it Satur-
day night as Mr.. Henderson was not
there. I understand that Mr.. Steele
suspended the men until the matter can
be investiga ted. Yes, I believe the
charge is drunkenness. 1 believe the
men had been in the water quite
awhile"
Mr.. Kesson used to be a blacksmith
in the employ of DR.. McCurdy, while
It is quite proba BILE the board will be
lenient with the men as the liquor was
not taken with any intention of ViOIat-
ing the rules of the force.

DROWNED POOL.
Denver Boy Meets Death in Nata
torium

Denver, June 14.-Charles English,
aged II years, residing at West COlfax
avenue and the Boulevard, was drown
ed at the Broadway natatorium at ten
o'clock last evening.
To pass away last evening he with
three or four school chums went to the
natatorium to enjoy a bath. The boy
could not swim and so splashed around
in the small four-foOt pool with some of
his comrades, who were also unable to
take care of themselves in the deeper
water.
At $50 a gong is always sounded as
a warning to the bathers that their
time is up. The boys who had ac-
companied English were occupying one
room and when he did not appear they
commenced to call for him, and finally
they notified the expert diver. who is
always kept there for such emergencies
With two or three assistants he COM
menced diving in all parts of the pool
until one of them finally discovered the
crouching form of boy in the place
where the fence separates the four foot
pool from the deeper portion. The fig
ure was quickly brought to the surface
and efforts were made to resuscitate the
lad, but in vain.
