II was out over your residence portion
this morning and I am surprised at what
I saw. There is every evidence Of pros
perity. new buildings going up and re-
pairs being made. I was taken through
your parks. For q city Of the same size
I never saw nicer parks than those which
Wichita has I think that your mayor
and the men who worked on that idea
deserve great credit While your people
may not know it, that park will be one
of the finest In the United States before
many years pass away.
The business men Of this city are
bright and they always have been. Your
people realize that If some one would
tell them different they would immedi-
ately dispute the statement. We know
that the business mon know business oD-
portunities when they see them
'The more I see Of this city the more
pleased [ am that decided 10 place the
shops here. The employees can have good
homes. They can be happy. In a crowd
ed city Ike Kansas City there is not the
opportunity for the shops men to get out
and have fresh air and recreation like
they would have here, and this one
thing alone is worth a great deal to us"
How long do you think it VIII be be-
fore trains VIII come into this city
from the south. Well, let us put it at the
first Of July Of next year The road to
Kansas City from this place win proba-
bly, take longer TO connect, because some
of the route has not yet been. selected.
what about a depot for Wichita?"
THAT matter has received no serious
thought yet, for have had other things
in my mind. However, Wichita viii have
a good depot and you can rest ass Ired
Of that. The depots of the Pittsburg and
Gulf are Of the best materials and we do
not propose to take a back seat for any
line IN the matter Of depots for Wichita.
1t may be possible that we viii cooper
ate with some other line in building a
depot here. bptsthat IS too early for ne
70 say definitely on any Of these points.
'That Wichita will be taken care of
every. proposition there can be no ques-
ton and another thing which I wish to
emphasize is that Wichita is bound to
he a, large city. and not very many years
hence. either"

you think It will cost him each year?
Eorty-eissht cents. Do you think there
is a farmer in this county who would
begrudge 48 cents a year, in and Of some
thing that would open up a market for
him, if he understood the proposition.
If the bonds were voted without the far
rners knowing it, not one Of the would
suspect that his taxes were raised. The
fact however, is that the Orient road
will reduce the farmers taxes instead
OF increasing them. The Orient road,
if the propositions carry, would increase
my taxes $50 per year had it not been
that it viii pay more into the treasury
than it will take out. 1 am aware OF
that. To my mind the farmer never gets
the worst OF local taxation. The liberal
man who lives in town is the man who
pays the heavy taxes because as in the
case Of the Cudahy packing house en-
terprise, he is called upon for donations
that. in many cases, are larger by far
than the annual tax Of the average tax
payer. Several men gave as high as
$500 to the Cudahy packing plant which
viii benefit the stingy man, the absentee
property owners and the farmers fully
as much as it viii him If we vote for
the bonds we will simply make every
man pay in proportion to his interests
and that is the right way to do things.
81 earnestly hope that the bonds win
carry. 1t is three times a better propo-
sition than we have ever had before and
7 doubt If we shall ever again have one
to equal It."

PoMERoY's SANITY DOUBTED.
Acquitted of the Charge of yjoIating
Mnii Regulations

Charles n. Pomeroy, man about SO
years OF age, was yesterday acquitted in
Criminal Court No. of the charge of vio-
lating the United States regulation relating
to the sending OF obscene literature
through the mail. The jury which rem
dered the verdict stated that this concIu-
sion was reached because of the uubal-
anced condition of the mind of the de-
fendant, and he was held for examination
as to his sanity
The principal witness against POmeroy
was his sister whose home is in Connec-
ticut. The defendant is laboring under
the delusion that one of his relatives left
him a great amount Of money amounting
TO some thousands over three millions of
dollars. Pomeroy several months ago made
efforts to draw some of his imaginary
wealth from different banks in this city,
and being unable to do so. concluded that
the bank officials were Withholding his
money at the instance of his sister He
thereupon wrote several letters to his sis
ter. and received no reply. He told one
Of his friends his trouble and also stated
that he would write his sister letgr
which she would be obliged to take
notice of.
Pomeroy was correct in this conclusion.
His sister did take notice of his letter. but
not in the way he expected. The epistle
was of such nature that she complained
to the postoffice authorities. and
left the letter in their hands with instruc-
tions to prosecute the writer and sender.
The letter, sent her by her brother. Miss
Pomeroy testified, was filled with vile Ian
guage POmeroy was represented by AttOr-
ney Albert White who made plea of in
sanity on behalf of his client. and several
physicians were called to substantiate this
line of defence

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
The Treasury Department Carpet-
Laying Contractor Criticised

The Central Labor Union met last night
at typographical Temple. There was
full representation of delegates from thir-
ty-four of the affiliated unions, and Presi-
dent Szegedy was in the chair 1t was
stated that Carriage and Wagon Makers
Union No. l had decided to circulate a
card bearing the names of all the local
carriage and wagon builders who employ
members of the union exclusively A let
ter was also received from the Church
Conference Association extending to the
Central Labor Union an invitation to at
tend the meeting which will be held in
this city April $3.50.
The grievance committee to which was
referred the matter of the letting of the
contract for cutting and laying the carpet
in the Treasury building. reported that 1t
was ascertained that the contractor was
doing the work at least 30 per cent less
than the usual price. 1t was also stated
that the men employed had to work on
Sundays and were only paid at the rate of
S. per week. while the wages Of carpet
layers and uphOlsterers is from $l2 to SIS
per week. Further than this. IL was re-
ported that the labor employed is COM
PEELED to work longer than eight hours a
day. BY vote of the union the secretary
was instructed to write to the proper au-
thoritles and protest against the manner
in which the work was being done. as it
is in violation, of the eight hour law.
House bill 1886, providing for an increase
in the wages OF letter carriers, was en-
dorsed.
The secretary was also instructed to
write the secretaries of the Journeymen
Stone and Marble Cutters, Encaustfc and

EFFORTS TO SAVE MUM.
An Attempt to be Made to Secure n
New Trial.

New Trial.
Tracy L. Jeffords attorney for Charles
L. NcUin, who was on Saturday last con-
victed Of the murder of Robert Turner,
yesterday stated that today or tomorrow
he would file a motion for a new trial
in the case. During the trial Mr.. Jeffords
noted many exceptions to the rulings of
Justice Clabaugh, who presided and it is
upon these the hope for new trial is
based. Even If the motion for the new
trial is overruled. it is understood that
every possible means will be resorted 10
by the defendant TO escape the penalty
OF death upon the gallows, virtually i'm
posed by the verdict of the jury which
found him guilty.
There is hardly any doubt that the de-
fendants counsel will. in the event that
the motion for a new trial IS overruled
take an appeal to the Court of Appeals for
the District. and. If unsuccessful there, 10
the Supreme Court of the United States.
1t is stated that McUin's relatives are
very prominent in politics in the section
in which they reside in Tennessee, the
home of the defendant. This statement
is borne out by the fact that McUin has
been within the tolls of the law before
but has been able to escape punishment.
Knowing this. General Anderson attorney
ACA tiV bAANth A7t<1btS III INT DiStl iCLr was
prepared to prove McUins former record
in case his reputation was made matter
of defence. This was not done. The de-
fendant admitted on the witness stand
that he was convicted of murder in Ruth
erford County. Tenn, and sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment in the penitentiary
This was in 1895. and at the expiration
of one year he was pardoned by the Gov
ernOr of the State.
II ig al hat
charged over a dozen times with serious
offences. In the event that the higher
courts affirm the decision OF the Supreme
Court OF the District in the case, it is
believed that an appeal will be made TO
the President for clemency

eruor Steunenberg's Agent.
Bartlett Sinclair. State Auditor of Idaho,
and the agent OF Governor Steunenberg in
the Coeur d'Alene region during the min
ing trouble, was witness before the House
Committee on Military Affairs yesterday.
Intense interest was manifested in the
hearing throughout the day. and an un-
usually large crowd was present. Every
point was stubbornly fought out during
the day. the Republicans voting solidly to
sustain all objections and the minority
carefully raising objections. Messrs. Sulzer
and Hull had some warm alterations, and
the cross-examination of the witness
promises to reveal some startling facts.
When examined by Attorney CLANCY for
the defence Mr.. Sinclair demanded that he
be allowed to object and refuse to answer
certain questions. Mr. Cox ordered the
witness to sit down and answer what was
asked of him. stating that if Mr.. Sinclair
had come with his answers cut and dried
he would get himself into trouble.
After stating some matters leading up
to his appointment by the Governor, ,he
witness said: II was instructed to
take the train and meet J. c. Bas-
sett and tell him to go to the seat of the
trouble. Mr.. Bassett declined to go. We

as his representative, and when the mill

Objection was made TO the insertion OF
the so-called biased articles in the "Spo-
kane Spokesman Review" produced by the
witness. On a vote the articles in ques-
tion were ordered 10 be admitted to the
record Representative Sulzer then an
nounced that he intended to have the fair
and unbiased articles in the San Francisco.
New York, and other papers printed in
the record.
Representative Hay then presented re-
solution asking that newspaper clippings
on the other side of the case be inserted
in the record as clippings stated to be
prejudiced against the miners had been
admitted. The resolution was defeated.
Bartlett Sinclair then read the newspa-
per clippings which had prejudiced and in
huenced him into demanding martial law
