tor Quay the repayment was clearly
proven In this connection District At
forney Rothermel claims that he has clear
1y established the fact he started out to
prove. namely. that $4,000 of the state
deposit in the bank was set aside for the
use of Senator Quay, and whether he used
it himself or loaned it to others is not ma

Hopkins, they say, appears to have used
fictitious names for loans, presumably to

QUAY He had the reputation of being
a heavy Speculator in the stock market
and the inference is that the defense will
attempt to prove that Senator Quay had
no knowledge whatever of the alleged

Mr.. Shields put a different complexion

MONEY AS A WEAPON.
Gompers Says That 100000 Is Bet
ter Than 100000 Men.

Washington, April 19.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, was the principal witness
before the industrial commission to-
day. Mr.. GOmpers' statement touched
chiefly on the trades union defense
fund.- methods of organization, the
general theory of strikes, the incorpora-
ton of trades union and the use of the
boycott.
He said the defense fund was the
greatest safeguard of the trades union.
The Federation of Labor was now ac-
cumulating one. He had always found
that the higher the dues and the larger
the defense fund of any trades union
the better and stronger was its organiz-
alton and the less liable was it to be
forced into an actual strike.
Briefly, he said that an employer
would engage in a fight with 100, 900 men
a good deal quicker than he would fight
100000.
The question of laws to provide for
the Incorporation of the trades union
did not meet with Mr.. Gompers' ap-
proval. He said that employers and
corporations could have no more dead
ly weapon against organized labor than
the legal right to sue it and mulct its
treasury.
The fact that an incorporated union
could also sue an employer for a
breach of contract was not a COM
pensating advantage in his eyes.
If a trades union was strong and well
organized enough'to get the terms from
its employer, the law could not get any
thing more for it. If it was not strong
enough to dictate terms or reasonable
arbitration then the law would not be
likely to help it. The boycott, Mr..
Gompers declared, was not a legal but
an inherent right which had been exer-
ciSed under varying names from time
immemOra BILE. He considered it a use
full and legitimate weapon of labor. Mr..
GomperS was preceded during the fore
noon by o. f. Clark, chief of the Order
of Railway Conductors. His testimony
was largely confined to the discussion

ROBBED A JOINT.
Tell Tale Articles Discovered In the
Home of Jacob SPAIN.

John SPAIN, a Russian, was arrested
Tuesday afternoon by Constable Stone
street of the city court and officer Hen
bricks for being implicated in the rob-
bing of c. F. Wheeler's joint on Kan
SaS avenue in North Topeka.
Spahn's home near the Inter-Ocean
mills was searched and several bottles
of liquor and a box of cigars We're found
hidden in the bed, behind trunks and in
the cellar. 1t ranged in variety from
absinthe to plain whisky. SPAIN was
locked up in the city Jail.
The officers also wanted John Kahline
but he could not be found. This morn
ing he stepped into the city Jail to see
SPAIN.
rs John here?" he asked of Jailer
Hopkins.
Yes SIR said Hopkins.
May L see him ?''
You may. Come this way and the
officer led him to the cell room, unlocked
the door, allowed him to enter, locked
the door, read him the warrant for his
arrest and put his name down on the
docket.

ATWO RINGED COURT.
Two Cases on Trial at One Time In
District Court.

The Shawnee county district court
has been operating in rather peculiar
manner for a court. It has been run
ming as a sort of two-ring show, with
a judge presiding over each ring. 1t
comes about in this way:
The foreclosure suit Of Katherine
Moeser against H. w. Euler came up
for trial, and as Judge Hazen had
scored Mr.. Euler in a former suit he
was Sworn off the bench when his
case came up for trial. M. T. Campbell
was chosen as judge pro tenn. The fore
closure suit adjourned to the court of
appeals court room, and Judge Hazen
went ahead with his part of the court
as though no other case was up. That
is the way the ''two-ringed court came
about.
The foreclosure suit is a mixed af-
fair. The allegations are that when Mr..
now deceased, when Mrs. Mann was
suing for a divorce, he entered into a
stipulation with Mrs. Mann's attorney
by which the divorce was to be granted
and she was to receive $22 alimony.
Judge Hazen, knowing of the Stipula-
ton, signed the journal entry without
reading it carefully, and it turned out
that by it's provisions Mr.. Mann had
decided his wife a piece of real estate
valued at 81 800 The same day Mr..
Euler, it is alleged, secured a deed to
the property from Mrs. Mann, paying
her 1925, and he placed a mortgage for
$3.50 upon the property, giving the mort
gage to Mrs. Moeser.
Mr.. Mann, supposing the property
was his, gave another deed to w. l..
Burns. Mrs. Moeser now brings fore
closure proceedings on her mortgage,
but Mr.. Burns claims the property by
reason of his deed Mr.. Euler claims it,
and Mrs. Burns also claims an interest
il it. The case is not yet concluded.
