Gov. Bradley Takes Summary Action
to Protect Brown Vote.
Louisville, KY, Nov. AT 6 o'clock
tonight Col. C. C. Mengel received or
ders from Gov. Bradley to send to the
polls the Louisville Legion, which had
been under arms at it's armory all day
in readiness for a call. Up to this time
the election had been one of the quietest
ever known here. A few arrests foE
alleged interference with voters were
made, but there was less than the
usual amount of friction between the
workers
When the polls closed at o'clock,
the inspector representing the interests
of the Brown ticket, appeared and de-
manded admittance to watch the count
This was done under a mandamus in
junction issued by Judge Loney of the
circuit court, shortly before noon, re-
straining the city authorities and Off
GERS of election from interfering with
the Brown inspectors. About the mid
die of the afternoon, the republicans
secured a similar order for their in
spectors on representations that they
were threatened with interference.
In number of places the inspectors
were refused recognition, and Gov.

by Judge Loney, reciting that state of
affairs. Judge Loneys letter to Gov.
Bradley follows:

PARSONS. DEFEATED.
Man Who Refused to Vote
for Lodge Turned
Down.

Springfield, Nov. 7.-Senator Parsons
is defeated by 612 in the Franklin
Hampshire district. He had his own
majority of $500 last year to overcome.
His majority in Greenfield, his own
town, was 447. An analysis of the votes
here was that the vote shows that the
voluntary work done for Parsons who
had to create his own machinery was
very effective as far as it went. 1t did
not extend widely enough and the strict
party vote in the hill towns pulled the
regular republican candidate, Mr.. Haz-
elton. through

JOHN COLLINS MOTION.
Lengthy Document Filed - MI. Jet
more Promises Some Surprises.

An amended motion for a new trial
in the Collins case has been filed by the
attorneys of John Collins.
The document is lengthy one con-
tanning p sections, each a specific basis
for the granting of a new trial tc John
Collins. It however follows closely the
usual form of such documents.
1t is claimed that new evidence has
been discovered. The "Nello affidavit
furnishes the basis for this claim. The
misconduct of the jury is charged, the
claim is made that the court erred in
instructing the jury and by refusing
special instructions. The fact that jur-
ors talked about the case among them
selves and others is cited. The jurors
are also charged with having read
newspapers during the progress of the
trial. Drinking liquor is also enumera-
ted as one of the shortcomings of men,
bers of the jury.
Fault is found with the manner in
which County Attorney Jetmore adj
dressed the jury. He is charged with
having appealed to their passions and
also with misstating the evidence.
County Attorney Jetmore said today
that he will file counter affidavits as
soon as possible and there will probably
be some on file before the week is over.
He says that he has some surprises in
store for the defense.
No date has yet been fixed for the ar
gunents for the new trial. That will
not be arranged until all the afhdavits
have been placed on file.

GOOD ROADS DISCUSSED
BY the Commercial Club at It's Meet
ing Last Night

The Topeka Commercial club last
night decided to continue the annual
banquet feature and the matter was re-
ferred to the committee on entertain
ment with instructions to report time
and place for the banquet.
The original motion was made by A.
later than March Is. D. o. Crane
thought that date too early and it was
finally decided to leave that question to
the committee.
Whether or not ladies are to be ad-
mitted to the banquet is a matter that
is making some trouble. Mr.. Steinberg
thought that there should be no ladies
at the banquet.
there is a room in Topeka large enough
to accommodate the club members and
their wives.
1t was finally decided that the ques-
ton should so over, although w NJ.
Forbes made a motion that the ladies
should be included.
F. w. Benedict brought up the ques-
ton of securing the Improvement of
roads leading to Topeka. Il have been
doing what I cam said he, but so far
I have met with but little success. I
they said they had no authority and I
have not been able to find out who has
the necessary authority to act in the
matter, and / think that it is about
time that we discovered where we are"
J. B. Billiard said: This is a, very
important matter Every business man
in Topeka ought to be interested in the
Improvement of the roads leading to
Topeka, for nothing could be done that
would do more to help business in the
city. Then there is another phase to
this question. If we start to build roads
we will give employment to the idle men
and there are hundreds of men in To-
peka ready and willing to work who can
find nothing to do. Some days dozens
of men apply to me for an opportunity
to earn something to support their fam
lilies. They are ready to work and anx
ious to do so, but they can find nothing
to do. This project would give them
work.
S. H. Downs said that there should be
a reform in the method of improving
roads. He thought the legislature should
take some action
D. Q. Crane said that he had been
working for years to have the road to
the cemetery improved and had met
with only Indifferent success. He be
Heved in taking some action.
E. w. Benedict moved that commit
tee should be named to cooperate with
the legislative committee on good roads.
President Brigham named E. w. Bene-
die, D. o. Crane and S. H. Downs.
John E. Frost, H. D. McNeely and
Miller Bros. were elected to member
shin.

NINE MEN TO DECIDE
The Much Vexed Question of Locat-
ing the New Asylum.

The senate this forenoon considered
the embarrassing question of locating
a new asylum in Kansas, and decided
to name a special committee of nine
members, five from the house and four
from the senate to perform the work
The senate has once refused, during
this session, to establish a new asylum,
but an effort is being made to rescind
this action and a bill carrying an ap-
preparation of 500, 900 to build a new
asylum, was taken up today. 1t also
carries $780, 900 for each of the fiscal
years following the completion of the
building.
The place at which the asylum shall
be located is left blank in the bill, but
the special committee is authorized to
select the location, after which the ap-
preparation becomes available for the
construction of the new institution
The senate voted for two or three
days, in an effort to locate an asylum
but quit after reaching a deadlock
Then Senator Lewelling came to the
rescue with the resolution providing for
the appointment of the special com
mfttee from the two houses. This was
adopted.
The original bill provided for the pur-
chase of $50 acres of land for the insti-
tuition but was amended, fixing the
amount at $40 acres.
The consideration of this subject was
not completed when the senate adjourn
ed for dinner.

POOLROOMS RAIDED.
officers Capture Seventeen Women
Players in Places Above West
Side Saloons.

Chicago, Feb. 9-Amid feminine shrieks
and pleadings several detectives ralded
two pool rooms on the West side which
are patronized by women, yesterday after
noon, and arrested seventeen fair gam
blers, whom they bundled into patrol wa
gons and took to the Desplaines street
police station.
Betting the detectives say, was being
conducted without restriction when they
entered the places. The women patrons,
who appeared to be of the working class,
wagered freely the races, as was evil
denced by the number of tickets found in
their possession when they were taken to
the police station.
Mayor Harrison and Chief of Police
Ripley ordered the raid. Several days
ago they received information that pool
rooms were being conducted for the espe-
cial use of wonaenr on the West side, and
after investigation the matter was
placed in the hands of Captain Hayes. He
detailed Detectives Fftzmauriee, Bonner,
Russell, Healy, Larkin and Cowdrey to
close up two pool rooms which he knew
of.
The prisoners had scarcely arrived at
the DespIaines street sta ton when ex-Al-
derman Rogers and Albert S. Miller APP
peared to secure their release on bond.
