HINSHAW HAS HOPE.

Report of Another Confession That is Be
lieved Will Bring His Release.
Rev. William E. Hinshaw, the alleged
wife murderer In whose fate interest
has again been revived by the report of
another confession, is one OF the most
cheerful men within the walls of the
Northern Indiana prison. Hinshaw,
who, has never given up hope that his
innocence would be established, has al
ways asserted that Noah Bsney, who
also made a confession about year
ago, was one of the principals in the
tragedy, and that he was aided as an
sccomplice by "Kid' Whitney.
The latters confession made at JEFF
fersonville has caused Hinshsw to be-
lieve that the time for his pardon is
drawing near. The prison officials say
that Whitney's confession practically
corroborates the confession made by
Baney while in 1rison at Michigan
City. The only particular discrepancy
is that each charges the other with fire.
ing the shot that killed Mrs. Hinshsw.
Persons who have been brought into
close relationship with Hinshaw and
who enjoy his unlimited confidence, are
firm believers in his innocence. Whit
ney's confession, which was wholly
voluntary and of the convicts own seek
ing, is looked upon as confirmatory evi-
dence of the strong presumption of the
preachers innocense. Hinshaw is still
engaged in hospital work. He is a
model convict and his abiding faith
that the world will some day learn that
he is innocent and that a terrible wrong
has been worked in his conviction and
incarceration is all that sustsins him in
the days Of his enforced servitude

ITS FIRST BANQUET
Tammany Feasts and Crates
at Sons of Herman Hall.
WILL GO TO HUTCHINSON
In a Body TO Attend 0rganiza-
ton ofBroWn's Democracy.

Tamnany held its first social meeting
and banquet at the Sons Of Hermann hall
over Jim Tapp's store last night. There
was a good crowd present, but all OF the
Tanmanyites did not get out until late
in the evening. The social and banquet
was held after the regular weekly meeting
at which considerable business was trans
acted.
At the business meeting It was decided
TO attend the first meeting Of the new
Kansas Democracy, as launched by
Brown, which is to be held at Hutchinson
September /. Tammany will go in body
Of at least one hundred strong, and a
green tiger will adorn the coat lapG Of
each adherent to the order. The fact that
Tan1many Is to attend the meeting Of the
Brown Democracy does not, at this time,
mean that It is to endorse Browns move
ment but it is going to be present In
order to see what kind Of an organization
Brown will have and what kind of a
swath the movement is likely to cut IN
Kansas politics. 1t is probable that Tam
many will take Sanford's band with II to
Hutchinson and let the Democrats up
that way know that Tammany, born in
Wichita and nurtured in its infancy in
Sedgwick county, will take the privilege
Of grazing and switching its tail in the
uttermost parts of the state.
The doors were opened for new members
and twenty-six new applications were read
by the secretary. They were all acted
upon and received into the order. The
new members were entitled to seats at
the banquet table.
It was decided to hold weekly meetings
until after the election. These meetings
will be held on Friday nights and the
program is to consist of speeches by prom
inent members of the order, select music
and delicate refreshments. At the first
meeting in October an invitation win be
extended to the fusion county candidates
to attend and take part in the delfbera-
lions Of the order.
The secretary announced that some per-
manent arrangement should be made for
q hall, and 1t was decided to rent the
Sons Of Hermann hall for one year.
The business having all been disposed

and the tiger was led back into his lair
Tor the rest of the evening. The banquet
was a grand feast, at which toasts re-
latlng TO political, religious and social
problems were spun with oratorical beauty
from above the festal board The banquet
lasted until IL O'Clock.
A great deal of interest seemed to have
been manifested in the new Democracy
which is TO be launched at Hutchinson.
A prominent leader said, however, that
Tammany, as an organization, would not
take any stock in the Brown movement
unless it were organized properly and
adopted the correct principles. In case It
were 50 organized he said Tammany would
endorse it and work earnestly for its sue

SCENE ON SOUTH LAWRENCE
Patrolmau Stewart Lands n Beligerent
Foe.

Last night at about o'clock there was
a disturbance on South Lawrence avenue
and a crowd at once gathered. Some
stranger in the city had accumulated too
much booze and attempted to show how
the city should be run. officer Stewart
was promptly on hand and found the man
too intoxicated to know what his mission
was on earth. He was laid out on a line
of dry goods boxes back of the Golden
Eagle and did not seem to realize that he
was responsible for his actions. The pa
trolman tried to induce him to go home
and behave himself, but he showed fight
and attacked the officer in vigorous
manner The officer at once returned the
courtesy and guarding the blow with his
right hand landed on the under jaw or
the belligerent citizen. and then called
upon one of the bystanders who had gath
cred, and the two took him down to the
station. There he was searched and re-
corded. and later attempted another at
tack on the officer. but the latter at once
landed him safely in the cell. He will
meet Judge Mitchell this morning and ac-
count for his lack of wisdom.

L|NWOOD TORN UP
Band of vandals Dig Up
Drainage Pipes.
THREW SEATS INTO RIVER
They Desecrate the Entire
Forty Acre Park.

Linwood park Is scene Of rubbish and
dirt heaps and confusion. Between mid
night and daylight yesterday morning
somebody went to the park and with dew
fish persistency dug up the drainage
pipes, destroyed the watering troughs.
broke up the seats and threw them into
the river. The work is one of the most
cespicable pieces Of vandalism ever per-
petrated In this city. Linwood Is a beau
tiful park of 40 acres, or was. but the
result of yesterday mornings proceedings
leaves IL now torn up and disarranged till
1t hardly looks the same place and will
cost hundreds Of dollars to fix It up again.
The amount OF havoc perpetrated could
not have been done by less than three or
four or half dozen men, and they must
have put in half the night. The pipes were
simply dug out OF the ground and broken
up and shattered and carried to the river.
The water trouRhs were torn down and
taken away and every thing that could be
moved was destroyed. 1t is thought TO be
a piece OF malicious deviltry planned be-
forehand, to be a spite job to accomplish
some purpose in the future.
Park Commissioner Dixon thinks the Of
ficials have clue to the parties and they
will make 1t unpleasant for whoever did
the work. A policeman is kept at River
side and in fact all the parks are watched.
but it has not been considered necessary
to keep night watchnlen about any of the
places. The need Of a policeman about
the parks has been to prevent fast driv-
ing, pulling flowers and disiguring the
ornamental fixtures. No one even had
suspicion that there was anybody who
would be 50 utterly unsusceptible to the
Importance and the sacredness Of the
parks as to detract from their beauty in
any way. The parks are not private prop
erty nor corporate concerns for making
money. They are the property Of the poor
and the Well-to-do alike, a driving ground,
a cool retreat for those who cannot go to
the sea or the mountains or to the forests
Of the north. The parks are free minis
trations OF pleasure to the laboring man
and his family and the raggedest boy in
the city is just as welcome as the mayor
Of the city or any councilman or business
man In the city. The destruction of the
fixtures of Anwood is a most reDrehensl-
BILE piece Of crime-worse than theft-it is
a robbery of the public, a burglary Of
every home, Of every man, woman and
child in the city. The park commissioners,
Mayor Ross and the council have worked
hard and spent good sums OF public money
70 FIX up the parks and the vandals who
desecrated Linwood should be pursued and
caught and severely punished.
