POLICE BOARD MEETS
George Spencer is Made the
Secretary,
COLONEL TOLER Is BOSS
Jocelyn to be Fired in Feb
ruary--GambIe Resigns.

When Col. H. G. Toler accepted the APP
bointment of police commissioner yester-
day morning and assumed control Of the
board he handed all his gubernational
cards back to Governor Leedy with COM
pliments. He also turns his back on the
capitol building at Washington for police
commissioner, never get TO congress. 1t
was a smooth piece Of political diplomacy
on the part of Governor Leedy, for he per-
manently sidetracked an opponent that
he didn't dare to fight. 1t was smooth
in that way. 1t will aid Leedy in securing
the delegation from Sedgwick county
but as 10 the vote at election time, that is
easily within the limits of question with
two sides. Uncle John Leedy will not be
the next governor of Kansas Even the
vote of Sedgwick county wouldn't elect
him, but when he removed Jos Furnish
from the police board he simply tossed a
hat full of good Pop votes out of the win
dow The time, though. had arrived when
Leedy had to take sides in the fight here.
Sedgwick county's delegation stands first
in the Pop state convention The Spencer
Jocelyn element had lain down on Leedy
for the removal of Furnish. the Cone men
demand Jocelyns removal the governor
must do something or lose the support of
both factions. Monday Rufus Cone step
ped down and out as sheriff. He had no
patronage to nand around-the fact that
he was retiring to private life helped
Leedy TO make up his mind, SO he let
Furnish out.
This is direct slap at Lewelling and
Cone and all those voters in the Pop
party who do not see fit to muck around
the Jocelyn machine.
1t is said that the governor has promis-
ed also, as a sort of compromise, to re-
move Jocelyn in February. A Populist
who ought to know says this is the case
and that while he is no Cone man the Sc
curing of the delegation for Leedy in the
next state convention makes such a step
necessary.
In pacifying the factional feeling on one
side Governor Leedy intended to put the
management of Pop politics in this cOun-
ty into different hands. Jocelyu and
Spencer lost. Spencer was boss. but yes
terday morning at the first meeting of
the new board he accepted the empty
honor Of being secretary. Jocelyu was
made chairman. but ii was plain to the
most unobservant yesterday that the po
lice department commission and all had
passed into the hands of a new boss.
Whether George Spencer wants to now
or not he will take back seat. JocelyU
never was anything but a figure-head for
Spencer and George Lock to work with
and now Spencer will be dumped into
the same heap.
At a meeting held yesterday morning
Spencer was made secretary and Joce-
lyu chairman Of the board. officer Gam
BILE resigned and II. T. Pryor was put in
his place.

GENESIS OF THE BROWNIES
Palmer Cox Talks About His Funny
Little People.

Palmer Cox. the man who invented the
modern Brownies and who originated the
various Brownie fads, travels with the
great Brownie show. He appears in the
pIav but once at each performance and
that is in the third act, where he draws
a Brownie on sheet of paper in full
view of the audience, explaining the orr
gin of the Brownies. briefly.
Mr. Cox was seen by an Eagle reporter
last night, to whom he recited brief his
tory of himself and his connection with
the Brownieland. Palmer Cox is 81 years
of age His appearance would strike
one as being that of well-tO-do business
man rather than that of an artist or
literary man, and in this there is some
reason. Mr.. Cox explained that after
having grown to manhood. he left his
home in Quebec, Canada, and with many
other young men at that time, sought his
fortune in California. 1t was in the days
Of railroad building and Mr.. Cox made
money in helping TO build some of the
railroads running TO California, as con-
tractor He helped 10 drive the last spikes
that completed the Union Pacific road
About eighteen years ago, having some
leisure, he applied himself TO writing
short children's stories that he had form
uIated in his own mind for years, and
published them in San Francisco news
papers 4 few years later he removed to
New York. where he at once launched
out into the literary world writing short
chlldren's stories. illustrating them. This
was the first creation OF the Brownies
and they first appeared fifteen years ago.
The idea, Mr. Cox said. he got from
Scotch legends Both the Scotch and
German languages had many pretty st0-
ries Of a race Of little people, who lived
in Fairyland, but the popularity az which
was that they we're all men. They loved
to do good and happy was the family

kindness Of the good Brownies This is
what suggested the idea Mr.. CoN's first

Kansas boys who have attained fame in
their chosen professionalism Of the stage.
The former halls from Lawrence and the
latter from Topeka. They are doing a
specially act with the Brownie company

Last evening they received five encores
and the audience would have had them
playing all night if they had been willing.
Mr.. Newhouse said:
