open discussion Presiding Officer Mclean
called upon City Attorney Adams for an
opinion. He said he had been looking the
matter up during the day and had pre-
pared the following one. which ne believed
covered the case as it stood upon the
statute book:
wichita, Kan, April Z. 1893.
ITO the Hon. Finlay Ross, Mayor Of the
City Of Wichita.
THE question having been raised as to
whether the police judge in a city of the
first class is elective or appointiye, in re-
ply to your request for an opinion in rela-
ton thereto, 1 have the honor to state:
By an act of 1881, paragraph 632, General
Statutes Of Kansas, all cities of the first
class elected a police judge. By chapter
123, laws 1885, paragraph 632 is amended,
and all acts and parts Of acts in conflict
Herewith repealed, and police judge under
the laws of 1895 is omitted from the list of
elective officers, the effect of which would
be to leave the police judge appointive in
cities Of the first class.
The appointment Of all officers of cities
of the first class is provided for by section
633, paragraph 70, General Statutes of
Kansas, 1881, which section provides that
the mayor shall appoint all necessary Of
ficers in cities of the first class, who shall
hold office for the period of two years
from such appointment and until their
successors are appointed and qualified.
Hence 1 am unable to find any authority
for the election Of a police judge in cities
of the first class. GEO. w. ADAMS,
"City Attorney"
The question is now one that may have
to be settled by law. and Attorney Adams
stated that if entered into by either con-
testant would probably have to go to the
supreme court before it would be finally
disposed of.
The council made no changes in the orig
inal count, except to record several strag-
Cling votes for persons not regularly nom
mated, and then adjourned
The canvass made last night is the official
count, so far as the city offices are con-
cerned

bash Avenue

In yesterday mornings Eagle an ac-
count Of the loss of a little boy named
Lochins Kaylor. who had come down town
from Fairmount TO purchase some meat
and missed the car home, not returning at
all during the night, caused a great deal
OF anxiety on the part of his mother and
many of the neighbors around and about
Paramount college All through the night
a search was kept up, the police were no
titled and by daylight large number were
talking of the mysterious disappearance
Of little, nine-year-old Lochins.
The account published in the Eagle had
been read by Ernest, the transfer man
who stands at the corner of Douglas and
Main streets. He was interested as the
little fellow was lost, on one account, be
cause he had missed the last car, and
Ernest felt it was to some extent a re-
sponsibility. He was watching every lit
tie fellow who passed him and 10 his great
surprise, about S O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. a bright little fellow came toward
him and remarked: Are the cars running
YETI" When told that they were, the
little fellow dashed down the steps leading
to the street railway Office and began
gathering up several bundles he had left
the night before. When about to leave
the office, Ernest hailed him and asked him
his name. When told it was Kaylor. Err
nest said: Are you the boy that is Iost?"
The little fellow said he did not know,
but that he had missed the last car the
night before and left his packages of meat
in the Office and then went off to stay all
He said: q don't see anything funny
abou5 that" and then stepped aboard the
car and went back TO his anxious mother.
who had spent a sleepless night wonder
ing what had become Of her little boy.
Ernest, the street car man, telephoned
the police that the little fellow had turned
up all right and the search for the little
wanderer was at an end.

BIG DYNAMO IS HERE
Mr. Brooks Said to Have
Purchased Old Line.

Information has leaked out that ths
street railway and electric light people OF
Boston, Mass, and Contractor j. Holt
Gates, of Chicago, have finally got settled
down to something that looks like business
1t was rumored around the city building
yesterday that ]. Holt Gates would reach
this city not later than Saturday night,
and several letters have been received by
some of the city officials which contained
some important information concerning the
street railway. II is understood thar-Mr.
Brooks of Boston, the wealthy banker,
who furnished the $4,000 in cash to put up
as deposit for the Church people, had
decided to place more money where it
would do the work and build the road and
light plant. Mr.. Brooks son has pur-
chased the old Batchelder franchise for
$4,000 and the elder Mr.. Brooks has init
mated that as he is now probably the most
deeply interested person in the street rail-
way, that he will put in $4,000 more and
the work Will go ahead at once # the city
will agree TO refund him the $4,000 for-
feited, at the end of the time when the

There has arrived in the city and was
unloaded at the Rock Island depot dyna-
mo for the electric light plant that is a
150-arc light machine and is said to have
cost over 5000 besides many lamps and
other machinery we're in the lot The
freight bill was over $500 on the machinery
and it took all the Rock Island force at
the depot all day yesterday to unload the
car. Information was obtained from mem
bers of the council that another car of
material would reach the city in a few
days, and that it was being fayorably con-
siere to take the proposition of Mr.. Brooks
under consideration at some future time
when it looked as if his company meant
to give Wichita an up-to-date and first
class street railway and electric light
plant
There are other details connected with
the deal that are between Mr.. Brooks and
the Church company that do not concern
the public, providing they get what mas
long been desired, and that is a new
street car service that will be a benefit to
the city's future and welfare.
