WILkERSON IS MAD.
Says He Knows Nothing About May
Burnett

Ex-Sheriff John NJ. TVukerson is con-
sidera bly, exercised because it has been
intimated that he had something to do
with securing the testimony given by
the Burnett woman in the Collins muir
der case She is now in Jail for per
jury with a penitentiary sentence of
seven years hanging over her head.
It has been openly charged that some
one hired the woman to testify and as
Mr.. WilkersOn was working for the de-
tense he gets a large share of the crit
icism. In speaking of the matter today
he said: Il think my record in this
county has been clear and do not pro-
pose to have my character beSmirched
now. OF course I am able to prove that
I had nothing whatever to do with in
ducing the Burnett woman to testify,
but people keep insinuating that I am
responsible for what she said. 1 have
little money and I will spend every cent
of it before I will rest under any such
accusation. I never saw May Burnett
until after she had told her story re-
peatedly."
at the corner of Third street and Kan
attorneys for the defense of the story
was after the tai had been in progress
two weeks. A second hand man named
Lowe, for whom Mrs. Burnett washes,
says she told his wife the same story
she told upon the witness stand about
the time the trial commenced.
The Burnett woman is still in JAIL
and she continues to make threats that
she will tell alp but she refuses to
talk to newspaper men,"

possible to induce Miss Sherrod not to
be with Mr. Murphy, for her name is
no longer what it appears on the pro-
gramme. She has changed it to that
which the comedian in his curtain
speech last year said was significant of
happy in the distinction of being Tim s
wife, Her characterization in the
piece is bright and refreshing, and
creation which leaves no room for i'm
prOvement.
The company supporting Mr.. Murphy

capable Miss Charlotte Lambert as the
lobbyist" deserves especial mention.
There was one amusing feature to the
performance last night which the audi
ence probably did not appreciate. When
Miss SherrOd comes on the stage in the
elOpement scene during the third act,
she has in tow her pet bulldog, who has
been trained to be as quiet in his stage
appearance as his mistress. But last
who worried ''Bulger," and he had hard
~ reached a visible position on the
stage when he set up a savage bark
and save Miss SherrOd all she could do
to hold him back from the footlights.
A moment before she went on she had
stood in the wings and recOunted the
admirable qualities of the dog, and COM
mented on how beautifully he acted on
the stage. As soon as she returned to
the wings she took it all back and the
man who looks after the canine gave
him a sound thTaShing for his breach
of stage etiquette.
After the curtain on the third act it
has become customary for the bulldog
to take a curtain call by running on in
front of the curtain and barking at the
audience. He did this portion Of his
performance Creditably last night.

STANLEY'S INAUGURATION
It Is to Be Followed by a Public Re
ception in Representative Hall

Many of the details for the Inaugural
ton of Governor-elect Stanley were ar
ranged last evening by. the committee in
charge of the Inauguration ceremonies. 1t
was decided that, as there will be such a
large crowd to attend, it would be best
to hold the reception in Representative
hall. as that is larger than the Senate
chamber and not so likely to become
crowded. Another precaution against. a
jam was made by deciding to have the
Visitors enter the hall by the narrow
stairway leading up to the west entrance.
1t will be. slow. work getting. up, but it
will give those inside plenty of time to be
received" and pass out through the main
entrance before the hall becomes uncom-
fOrtably crowded.
The hall will be decorated with palms
and otherwise fitted up for the occasion.
About $3.50 win be expended on the dec
OratiOns, printing and music. An Orches-
ira will play during the reception and
MarshalIs band will furnish music at the
Inauguration.
Major A P. Shreve, who has been ap-
pointed sergeant-at-arms, has selected the
following to assist him: p. I. -Bonebrake,
George w. Crane, General J. K. Hudson,
NJ. c. Holman. Senator Anderson and NJ.
d. Henderson.
In addition to the committees appointed
some time ago to have charge of the de-
tails of the Inauguration, a reception com
nnittee composed of several hundred peo-
pie has been named.

CUBANS' FAVORITE SPORT.

Mss SRERROp,s PET DOG
Has an Important Patr in the Carpet
bagger-Mr. Murphy's Play
Well Liked.

With the same quizzical expression
of cOuntenance and the same dry humOr
which have placed him well up in the
ranks of American comedians, but with
a new play, Tim Murphy came back to
Topeka last night. A much larger audi
ence than saw him in "Old Innocence"
last year greeted him at the Grand
Opera House, and conveyed to him by
continued applause, which brought him
third act that it was an audi
ence pleased with his work and pleased
with his play.
1.-THE Carpetbagger'' is worthy of
Murphy's best efforts. 1t is described
as q political romantic comedy, and the
description is suitable. The comedian
appears as the ''carpetbag' governor of
Mississippi, a Chicago auctiOneer ele-
waited to the position of executive by ap-
having taken advantage of every oppor-
tunity to plumber the state he is sup
posed to govern. At the opening of the
piece he is on the verge of change Of
heart, and before the curtain falls on
the last act this change has been ac-
cOmplished and a woman is responsible.
There is sentiment in the play, but it
bears the characteristic stamp of Opie
Read, and the nOVeliSt's sentiment is
not of the wearying kind. 1t has COM
edy in sufficient quantity, and now and
then the dramatic is touched, but the
touch is in no instance too heavy and
the dramatic action only serves to fill
out the naturalness of the play.
Miss Dorothy SherrOd. who left such
a pleasant impression last season, is
still with Mr.. Murphy and makes a
charming Nellie Crance,' the COVER
nor's daughter. In fact, it would be inn
