MAY NOT STAND.
Extra Session Laws Possibly tncon-
stitutiOnal-POps Consider
nbIy Worried.

TOPEKA, Dec. 2i.-(SpGcial) The Popu-
lists are considerably concerned over the
question as 10 whether the call issued by
the governor for the special session is
constitutional. In his proclamation the
governor did not cite any emergency for
issuing the call, as the constitution pro-
vides. Neither did he say anything about
an emergency in his message. He could not.
because there was none. The Populists all
along. until to-day, have contended :hat
the governor was the sole judge of whether
there was an emergency, and that as the
courts could rot review his acts, The call
would stand and the acts of the legislature
be constitutional
In looking up the decisions of the Kansas
supreme court to-day, the Pops found that
II had not been settled that the acts of the
governor could not be reviewed. The only
decision in which that question was men
toned was in the 2Sth Kansas, in which
the court said that the question had never
come up for settlement in Kansas. Nothing
since that time bearing on the subject was
found.
An examination of the supreme court re-
ports Of ten other states developed the fact
that in each of those states the court held
that the acts of the governor were review
able by the supreme court. This discovery
has somewhat disconnected the Populists.
They are afraid that the state supreme
court will review the acts of the governor
in calling a special session. decide that
there was no emergency and hold for that
reason that the legislature was uncon-
stitutionally organized and the laws passed
by it were, therefore, unconstitutional.
Chief Justice Frank Doster wrote Gov
ernor Leedy's message to the special ses-
sion of the legislature. This information
is vouched for by a Populist state official
in whom the Populists of Kansas have the
utmost confidence Leedy's message was
a legal discussion Of railroad legislation. 1t
contained phrases and points that the gov
ernor never thought of.
Who wrote it?" was asked by everyone.
including the Pop legislators who are
familiar with Leedy's style of writing.
They were all agreed that Leedy didn't.
The question remained unsolved until this
Populist state official unbosomed himself
to-day.
Now it IS perfectly clear to all. The
message sounds just like Doster. The long
sentences. if nothing else. would give that
away. Doster can write longer without
getting to a period than any other man
in the state of Kansas; in fact as long as
Representative Jimmie Cassin can talk
without drawing a breath. Many of the
ish. The legal discussion on law points
is in line with Dosters utterances in pri-
vate and on the stump. In order to hide
his identity. the chief justice threw in a
few paragraphs criticising the United
States supreme court. That is Leedy $
favorite theme and Doster mentioned it so
as to make the public believe that the
governor really did write the message.

MORGAN RAIDERS DUG OUT.
Proven by n Knife Uncovered in the
Prison After Many
Years.

COLUMBUS. O.. Dec. 24.-Ofcals of the
penitentiary to-day succeeded in finding
knife that was probably secreted by
Thomas W. Bullet. of Louisville. Ky, who
was one of the Morgan raiders. who was
imprisoned with the famous Confederate
in the prison during the civil war and who
was one of the number to escape from
the prison. Mr.. Bullett recently told how
and where he had secreted the knife and
expressed the belief that 1t was still in
was said that the knife was one of four
teen which was hidden when the fact of
their possession was exposed. The place
of conCealment was said to have been in
an air shaft used as a ventilator. and after
persistent search il was found at the bot
tom. where ii had dropped at some time
since the raiders left the prison. 1t was
nearly rOtted away. a second knife was
also found in the tunnel.
The discovery is of especial interest.
since it settled q much mooted point-the
means of escape of the prisoners. TIE
most of the prison officials believe that
the first knife is the one described by Mr..
Bullet and If that be true it proves be-
made their escape, as has always been
claimed. by the tunnel route and not by
the aid or connivance of any of the prison
officials. This point is given emphasis too.
by the fact as stated by Mr.. Bullet that
the raiders took no stock in Warden Mar
ion in fact disliked him. but he was anx-
iouS that the truth should be known. for
lieve the warden's memory of any odium
that might have attached to it by reason
of the escape of General Morgan and his
six companions.

MORE COTTON MILLS CLOSED.
Six Thousand Operatives Are Now Idle
on Account of the Augusta,
Ga, Strike.

AUGUSTA. GA. Dec. 2i.-The Augusta
and Enterprise cotton factories of this city
closed down indefinitely this afternoon
adding about 5000 more to the unemployed
of the city. Five weeks ago the Southern
Manufacturers Association reduced the
wages of the mill operatives. Those of the
King and Sibley mills of this city and the
Langley and Bath in South Carolina re-
fused to accept the cut. The employees of
the Augusta and Enterprise returned to
work al the reduced scale Because of an
agreement entered into by the Southern
Manufacturers Association, the first named
mills were compelled to close down in
order to force the striking operatives in the
other mills to return to work.
There are in the neighborhood of 5000
people in and around this city out of en-
ployment because of the shutting down of
the mills.
