STATEMENT.
The Vermont Senator Talks of His
Observations in Cuba.
THE REPORTS NOT EXAGGERATED

Stories ofStarvation and Distress Com
firmed by the Impartial Investiga-
tlon of n Statesman who Sought the
Information For His own Guidance.
Washington, March Ex-senator Red
field Proctor, of Vermont, who returned
Sunday from an extended trip to and
through the Island of Cuba, yesterday
afternoon made a statement to the
senate of his observations on the ISL
and. From many view points the
statement was remarkable. Every
element of sensationalism had been
studiously eliminated from it, and,
except so far as the facts recited were
sensational, it bore not the slightest
evidence of an effort to arouse the
public mind
Every statement made by Senator
Proctor was with that clearness and
precision which characterize the accu-
rate demonstration of a problem in
mathematics. Calm and dispassionate
to a notable degree, the utterances of
the senator aroused a breathless in
terest. Every person within the sound
of his voice was convinced that he was
putting his observations into careful
terms, lest he might subject himself
to the criticism of being emotional.
One of the best Characterization of the
statement was made by Senator Frye,
of Maine, few minutes after it's de-
livery. TT is." said he, Just as if
Proctor had held up his right hand and
sworn to it."
The statement dealt with every phase
of life in Cuba, and was listened to
with breathess interest. The senator
stated that he went to Cuba entirely

THEY AGREED
And Both Thought Prof. john
stone Was Wonderful.

They happened to meet by accident in
the postoffice. One man is well known
merchant in Topeka and the other is
merchant in -Salina- They talked in
subdued tones and their faces wore ex-
pressions of earnestness and thought.
Said the Topeka merchant:
st haven't the slightest doubt but that
my wife will be perfectly restored You
know in what a wretched condition she
has been and how we have tried nearly
everything under the sun in order to
give her relief. She started on her sec
ond months treatment yesterday and I
never saw such a change in anybody in
all my life. It's simply marvellous, and
how he does it don't understand. She
sleeps well, eats well, and her nervous
condition is barely noticeable. He says
he will cure her in three months in ALL
''Well. if he said that said the Sa1ina
merchant, as he stroked his beard COM
placently, he'll do it. I went to him
last September, when he first came to
Topeka, and you know the amount of
money have spent in trying to get my
diseased and weakened nerve structure
cured, and you know what a time
have had in doing it. Last summer I
went to Chicago, treated with a special
ist for two months, paid him three hun
dred dollars, and he left me in a worse

after Prof. tombstone gave me the first

my vitality back and I haven't for one
moment felt that mental or physical

druggists do not carry"
I asked him about that and he told

merchant. We'll, he can have my en-
dorsement any time he wants it"
He has mine already said the mer-
chant from Salina, as the two left the
office and walked slowly down Kansas
avenue.
It is but doing Prof. tombstone justice
to say that when one is giving the relief
and permanent cures which we hear he
IS accomplishing every day, he is, to say
the least, entitled to the confidence of
the community, and that he holds this
confidence there can be no question,

A CHANGE DEMANDED.
Judge Wells Says the Board of Par
dons Should Be Abolished
or Given More Power

One of the propositions that will be
brought before the special session will
be one to abolish the board of pardons.
Glen Fairchild has prepared a bill to
repeal the law creating the board and
he will urge it's passage. In discussing
the matter today, Judge Wells, chair
man of the present board of pardons,
said.
1.-The board either ought to be abol-
ished or given more power. If it is con-
tinued I would recommend that the gov
ernor be required to act on the recon-
mendation of the board and prohibited
from issuing a pardon until the board
has acted on the case. Furthermore, I
would give the board power, where they
deem the case justifies it, to order a new
trial for a criminal already in the pen
itentiary. It has been clearly evident
in several cases that have been before
this board that the defendant did not
have a fair trial, but we were not pre-
pared to say that he ought to be par
dOned. We are not supposed to try a
case ourselves, so there is no recourse
left to US except to leave the man to
suffer in the Denitentiary, when his
innocence might be proven by a fair
trial, or else turn him loose when we
are not sure that he ought to be turned
out
Then again, 1t sometimes happens
that after a man has been sent to the
penitentiary, subsequent developments
prove that he was innocent of the crime
for which he is being punished In
such cases a pardon is not a vindica-
ton, it is simply a forgiveness. The
court record shows that the men was
convicted of a crime and a pardon will
not change the record. In such cases a
new trial ought to be ordered and the
record made to show that the accused
was innocent.
1T may be argued that an appeal
might be taken to the supreme court
when a man does not have a fair trial
but not one out of ten of the men who
are sentenced to the penitentiary have
enough money to pay for a transcript
of the evidence which is necessary to
bring the case before the supreme
court"

THE AUDITORIUM.
A Movement to Deprive the Fund of
$4,000.


Ten thousand dollars Of the audi
forum fund Is in danger.
Some one in the city council, accord
ing to a statement made by W. c.
Stephenson of the auditorium assOcia-
ton. is inaugurating movement to
divert the $4,000 Of the old coal hole
fund into a bond fund. to be used for
the redemption of the viaduct funds
which become due the middle of Janu-
airy.
OF course, the council can not afford
to do anything of this kind. The legis-
Iature has granted the authority to the
city to use this fund in the construction
of an auditorium The citizens of To-
peka have contributed large amount
of money in addition The auditorium
project and a large number of other
enterprises were interrupted by the war.
The people of Topeka are bound to
have an auditorium and they will have
il soon. It will be a disgrace to the
capital city if this matter is not pushed
from now on. 1t may be necessary for
the coming legislature to modify the
old act under which the auditorium was
to be built, but that is a matter largely
of form.
SO far as the viaduct bonds are con
cerned the city has a sinking fund set
aside to meet many of them and the
remainder, owing to the excellent imam
cial standing of Topeka. will be refund
ed at a lower rate of interest than the
city ever paid.
Learning of the project to divert this
fund and lose $4,000 to the auditOriu47,
a meeting of the auditorium assOcia-
ton was this morning called to meet
( the Commercial club rooms at eight
o'clock tonight Every member of this

One Texas Gentleman Deliberately
Kills Another on the Street.

st. Louis, Dec. 20.-A special to the
Republic from Dallas, Texas. says:
Colonel I. G. Randle, one of the best
known men in Texas. was shot to death
near the city hall at o'clock this even
ing by H. P. Erwin of Forney, Texas.
Colonel Randle was talking to friends.
when Erwin walked up briskly, and
with the words I've got you now"
fired FIVE shots just as Randle drew a
revolver. Randle dropped dead, shot
through the brain. Erwin at once sur
rendered, but declines to discuss the
killing, further than to declare that he
was justified, that it was the result of
former trouble, and that Randle had
threatened his life at various times.
For nearly a year Randle has been
identified with extensive electric street
railway and other important enter
prises. He shot and killed Ed. Randall
in 1892 Erwin has served a term in
the penitentiary for forgery.

The report that the Vanderbilt lines east
CHICAGO & NoTthwestern and the Union

seems to be not improbable. although the
joining Of forces is not likely to be effect
ed for a good while to come. The consOli-
Shore roads it is understood, has shown
results saffsfacfOry 70 the int
which brought 1t about that they are
planning to extend the plan to the Michi-
gan Central and other lines of the Wander
bilt system. While the Chicago & North
western is not actually part of that sys-
and their holdings of Union Pacific securi-
entail in the direction of that railroad sys-
TEN. By increasing their investments in
Union Pacific stock to an extent neces-
sary to give them control they would have
a fine route to the far west by the New
York Central and the West shore to Buff
falO. by the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern and the Michigan Central thence
TO Chicago. from Chicago to Omaha by the
Chicago & Northwestern and from Omaha
westward by the Union Pacific. The
Union Pacific is still regarded most
likely to be the purchaser of the Chicago
& Alton. If it should take over that road
it's own subsequent absorption by the Van
derbilt system would give the latter an al
tentative route between Chicago and the
far west. the Alton extends from Chi
cagO to Kansas City, the terminus OF the
Kansas City branch of the Union Pacific,
which joins the main line at Cheyenne.

STOPPED BY ENGLAND.
A Filibustering Expedition TO Help
Aguinaldo Arrested.

Chicago. Dec 20-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington, says:
Great Britain has given another strik-
ing example of friendship for the United
States and at the same time. has taken
action which is looked upon in the light
of a recognition of the sovereignty Of
the United States over the Philippines
A hlibustering expedition organized to
go to the support of Aguinaldo has been
suppressed at Hong Kong, by order of
the British authorities.
This information came to the state
department few days ago in cable
gram from Consul General Wildman
and has just been made public. The
reason for keeping the information
secret was that the department desired
to ascertain, if possible, the source of
the expedition and who was responsible
for its organization.
Consul General Wildman. so far as
can be learned, has not yet been able
to- get these details.
