SATURDAY TOO SOON
To Suit Some Members, for
Adjourning Purposes.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 25.-(Special) -Sev-
eraI of the more enthusiastic members Of
the legislature do not think an adjourn
ment will be reached next Saturday, and
will try to prevent ii, Notwithstanding the
resolution for adjournment has been
adopted by both the senate and the house.
The pay of the members stops next
Tuesday Most of them will consent to re-
main the rest of the week, but to go
across Sunday and enter another week
without any pay in sight means. If no ad-
iournment is taken that one win be forced
for lack of a quorum. The members are
already tired and anxious to get home,
and they simply won't stay. About the
only topics of interest remaining are the
fee and salary law and the matter of
selection of members of the court of visi-
tation.
1t is generally conceded by the lobby
now that Postlethwaite and Crum will be
on the board, and that Pollock of Winfield
will be solicitor, but further than that no
one will venture a guess.
Among the members there doesn't seem
to be any opposition to the fee and salary
bill excet in relation TO county attorney,
where a considerable increase is made.
Sheriff Daniels of Winfield said yester-
day: THE people of Kansas do not under
stand this matter. They do not want
their officers to work for nothing. Under
the present law a sheriff gets IS per day
and expenses for a trip, and his day is
not a day unless he puts in twenty-four
hours Why should a sheriff work twen-
ty-four hours when other people work
only eight or ten or twelve at the most?
Suppose we have TO drive twenty miles
out OF serve summons. That is a forty
mile tri. We get eight cents a mile, $500,
and forty cents for serving the papers,
amounting in all to $3.50. We pay $3.50
for the team, 50 cents for dinner and feed
and are left 90 cents for a days work
of fourteen hours. NobodS would ask a
man to work that way. The people don't
know how little we GET
A motion was made this morning to
have the house committee on employees
report the names of all employees that
could be dismissed after today, but the
matter bade fair to raise such a row that
the committees work was delayed.

STUBS and VOUCHERS
Are Gone Over by the lnVeSti-
eating Com mittee.
RECORD OF ROSENBAUM
Is Brought to Light--Public
Buildings Matters.

Guthrie, o. T, Feb. 25.-Cspecial)-The
star witnesses before the investigating
committee thus far have been Auditor
Hopkins and mis- deputy, E. P. McCabe.
The auditor made voluntary appearance,
in conformity with the terms of the letter
submitted to the committee Yesterday
morning, and brough with him the vouch-
ers and warrant-stubs covering the fiscal
operations of the military department Of
the territory from December, 1894, up TO
November 50, 1898. The documents were
handed out one at a time from tin box,
10 which they were returned after passing
the inspection of the committee. In this
manner the vouchers for warrants issued
during the administration Of Governor
Renfrow were gone over; also the warrants
during the first few months of the present
administration. The result Of this exam
ination shows up Phil Rosenbaum, for
merly quartermaster general and later adj
jutant general, in anything but favorable
light. 1t was shown that while acting as
Quartermaster general under Governor
Renfrow, Rosenbaum had rendered and
received warrants on duplicate and tripli-
cate vouchers; that excessive drayage bills
had been paid, and that what looked sus-
piciously like the forgery of Acting Gov
ernor T. ]. loves name had been COM
mitted. In one instance, at least it was
shown that a warrant had been issued
Upon a voucher submitted without the
governors approval, and it also appeared
that other vouchers had been materially
changed on the way from the governors
office to the auditors Office Captain D.
T. Stiles was recalled and asked TO furnish
the committee an opinion as TO the conduct
Of the military department while under
Rosenbaum's control and the witness criti-
cised the vouchers and pointed out where
in in many instances the charges were ex-
traVagant and unwarranted

was feeling ugly over what he deemed the
arbitrary rulings of President MeCredie,
and was bent on organizing a Filipino
movement to Unseat the presiding officer if
he persisted in ruling that a majority of
the council could not transact business
-Four other members Of the council ex-
pressed a willingness to support such a
revolutionary movement but Senator Bel
lamy declared that he would not stand for
it, and without his vote the other six
members are undoubtedly powerless to act
in the manner proposed by Senator Ha-
Yens. The latter contends that President
McCredfe is wrong in his ruling. even
though the rules may demand a two
thirds majority to change the rules govern
ing the deliberations Of the council. He
bases this contention on running section

duction. in justice TO them, however. il
should be stated that several Of the mem
bers who voted for the adoption Of Ha-

cious, and they insist that yesterdays
