witnesses who had been examined
might remain in the court room. The
attorneys for the defense objected to
allowing witnesses to remain because
many of them would be witnesses in the
trials of Davis and Culton later, in
which practically the same issues were
involved.
Judge Moore, however, ruled that wit
nesses who had testified might remain.
Policeman Wingate Thompson was
the next witness introduced. He was
not in the state house yard when the
shooting occurred, but arrived as the
crowd was carrying Senator GoebeI out
of the yard. He saw armed men at the
entrance to the executive building and
recognized John Davis and Berry How
ard among them.
Detective Dee Armstrong of Louis
Vile said that after the military au-
thOrities allowed the detectives to enter
the executive building several days af-
ter the shooting, he visited the various
state offices for the purpose of securing
the names of persons who We're in the
building at the time of the shooting.
He said that Secretary Powers refused

shooting and declined to say who was in
charge, but said that he CPowers) was

party, and of ex-senator Charles H.

The Santa Fe company has laid out
in lots a large tract lying east of the
Santa Fe and Union Pacific junction
and are Selling the same on favorable
terms, largely to employessin the shops.
The company has about 35 acres here
almost entirely unimprOved and quite
accessible to the shops by way of the
railroad bridge. The building up of this
tract would be a great addition to the
First ward. One thing needed, how
ever, is an extension along the railroad
bridge affording a ready and safe foot
ing across the river. The bridge is al
ready largely used for crossing by shop
men living on this side, always with
more or less risk and sometimes to the
annoyance of the company. 1t would
pay the citizens of North Topeka to aid
in the construction of a safe walk out
side of the bridge, and probably the
railroad company would give some aid
to this enterprise. North Topeka needs
a local Improvement society to look af-
ter and assist in such matters.

EXPLAIN TO M'KINLEY.
Kentucky Republicans Tell the
President How 1t Is.

Washington, March 23.-Co1 Andrew
Cowan, a merchant of Louisville, KY,
Samuel J. Roberts, editor of the Lex
ington Leader, and John Marshall, Re
publican lieutenant governor of the
state, all prominent Republicans and
friends of Governor Taylor called at
the White House before the cabinet
meeting today. and had a half hours
conversation with the president on the
political situation in Kentucky. On
leaving the executive mansion they
stated that they had called on Mr. Nc
Kinley for the sole purpose of explain
/ ing to him the exact situation in the
state and what led up to the present
condition of affairs.
They said that they advised the presi-
dent that they did not want federal
troops to be sent to the state or any
federal interference whatever. They
had not asked for a congressional in
vestigation they said, nor would they
ask for one, as they did not want it,
On February 21, the principal parties
in interest had signed an agreement
by which each party agreed to sub
init the questions involved to the courts
for final determination and to abide
by their decision. This agreement next
aggrieved might appeal from the lower
court to the court of appeals, and then
to the supreme court of the United
States. This part of the agreement is
was said, read as follows:
Should any party after the final de-
termination of the causes by the court
Of appeals desire a writ of error to the
supreme court of the United States to
review such determination. it is agreed
that such writ shall be Immediately ap-
piled for and diligently prosecuted, if
secured, and that all parties to said
causes will unite in an application to
said federal supreme court to docket
and advance said causes and to give
them the earliest hearing and determl-
nation possible"
OUu anu MS asssUCIdtes claim the
GOebel partisans have done a number
of things which indicated that they
were not acting in good faith. Never
! theless- they did not expect any serious
ciashiug, but on the contrary ->elievers
that all the interests involved would
abide by the decision of the supreme
court of the United States.

KINSINGER TALKS.
Promoter of Vinewood Park Railway
Says He Is in Earnest.

George J. Kinsinger. of Kansas City,
chief promoter of the proposed new su-
burban motor line to Vinewood park.
is in the city and this morning set men
to work tearing up the old dummy"
engines used on the old East Side Cir
Gle road.
THE people of Belvue addition are
anxious to have the road run there
said Mr.. Kinsinger. "I have told them
that we would make no hasty decisions
but give all a hearing before work is
begun. Two motors are being expert
mented with at Kansas City and In
dianapolis. They are gasoline motors
and if found not to be suited to our use
electricity will be used.
I think the reason the road did not
pay before is because business was in 4
critical condition. We own our right Of
way and the greater part of the track Is
in condition to be used. New rolling
stock and equipment will be bought.
This has no connection with the
Kansas City , Lawrence & Topeka Elec-
trio railroad. We do not intend at any
time to sell out to them but of course
if man offered all a plant is worth the
offer would be considered. This is not
a catch penny game. We intend to re-
build the road and pay for it. 1t viii be
running this summer and We will have
the best attractions at the park that IS
possible to have. We hope to make ad-

IMPORTANT STREET LAW.
Property Must Be Assessed For I'M
provements According to Ben
efits Derived

Indianapolis, Ind, March 23.-The law
Of this state that provides for the as
sessment of the cost of street improve
ments directly against the abutting
property, without regard to whether or
not the property has been benefited has
been passed on by Judge Baker of the
federal court He decides that the
improvements, now in vogue under the
Barrett law, is unconstitutional. This
decision was rendered in the case of
James Charles against the city of
Marion and the Warren -Scharf Asphalt
Paving company. Some time ago the
court granted a temporary injunction
against the same parties, restraining
them from proceeding with the i'm
proveTnent Judge Bakers ruling was
on the demurrer to the complaint for
want of facts sufficient to constitute
cause of action.
This ruling is virtuallySto the effect
that the Barrett law is unconstitutional
in that it provides for the taking of
private property for public uses with
out adequate compensation and without
due process of law. 1t is in line with
a decision rendered by the supreme
court of the United states over a year
ago in an Ohio case, wherein the same
points were raised 1t was held then
that the assessment of property for
public improvements could not legally
that the benefit to be derived by the
property should be the basis of assess
ment.
Under this ruling the Barrett law pro-
vision for the assessment of costs Of
street improvements Is unconstitutional
and it may seriously affect the maxim g
of improvements in this state this year.

HE IS THE MAN..
idaho Governor Shoulders All
Blame For Idaho Outrages

Washington, March Ex-Governor
Stuenenberg,, of Idaho, continued his
testimony before the Occur d'Alene in
vestigation today. being cross-examined
by t. c. Robertson, attorney for those
prosecuting the charges.
The governor stated that if any ar
rests were made prior to the issuance
Of his proclamation it was with his au-
thority and approval, and because of
his general authority as the chief ex-
ecutive of the state. Before General
Merriam went to the scene of disorder
the governor had a talk with him and
told him to take such steps as were
necessary to maintain order. When
further questioned as to just who was
responsible for arrests. Governor Stu
enenberg said:
Il assume responsibility for every ar
rest in Shoshone county by General
Merriam or any one else"
He was asked if he assumed this re-
sponsibility in the case of a man
brought from Montana and amounting,
1t was alleged, to kidnapping
Governor Stuenenberg answered that
if it amounted to that, he assumed re-
spOnsibility for it.
Chairman Hull at this point stated
that he had received a letter from Ad-
1utant General CorDln saying tnat the
H-- department. vas not IN possession
of the official rolls of prisoners.
The governor went on to testify that
he assumed responsibility for any ar
rests made by deputies outside of the
state, although ne did not claim author
ity beyond the state. He did not know
that his state deputies made these ar
rests, buc if they did, he was the re-
sponsible official.
Mr. Robertson asked if the regular
in, xs-af frt1 fsaf1a
confined was not at Moscow, Idaho.
The governor did not know of this; the
use of the stockade or "bullpen" was
not the result of any specific order, but
The Topeka state journal., 1900-03-23
was due to the requirements of the oc-


casion
A spirited controversy among mem
bers of the committee occurred when
Mr.. Cheney, an attorney for the de-
fense, interposed an objection to one
of Mr.. Robertson's questions. Repre-
sentative Sulzer interposed a vigorous
pprotest against objections from private
counsel. He added that it had become
apparent that the majority of the COM
mittee, through an attorney, was try
ing to shift responsibility"
He declared that this was ''an outrage
on the minority Chairman Hull re-
piled that he resented the insinuatiOn
that the ma jority represented one side
or the other, and he denied that the
majority had taken any such attitude
as that suggested by Dir. Sulzer
When asked if he was consulted as to
institutfng the permit system Gov
ernor Stuenenberg said Attorney Gen
eral Hays reported to him that after
consulting with mine owners and citi-
zens in the Coeur d'Alene district he
dating back several years, and that he
had accordingly written out a procla-
nation forbidding mine owners from
employing men belonging to organiza-
tions believed to be criminal
The previous testimony had shown
that the governor approved the course
of Lieut.. Lyons in putting union men
to work at the Tiger-PoOrman mine.
The governor said he did not consider
this a violation of his own proclama-
tion as the case was exceptional, and
ed. He reserved the right to act as
circumstances required.
At noon the committee took recess
until o'clock.

TEST CORONER LAW.
Question About Fees of Jurors the
Issue in Law Suit.

The board of county commissioners
of Shawnee county is the plaintiff in
suit just filed in the district court in
which the amount involved in the petit
ton is only 81. 1t is in reality test
case to try the question of the fees of
jurors in inquest cases.
The suit is brought by L. M. Carter,
who was one of the Jurors who served
at the inquest over the body of Walter
Roof on February 8. The inquest began
on one afternoon but the verdict was
not rendered until the following morn
ing, and each of the jurors put in a bill
against the county for two days service
at 81 per day. County Attorney Pagan
allowed only 81 to each man, and this
is why Mr.. Carter has brought his suit
against the county for the other dollar.
The law simply says that jurors on
inuuests shall receive a fee of one dol
lar, but it does not specify 81 per day.
Mr. Pagan holds that the 81 fee covers
the entire inquest but the jurors claim
eli ii was a per ,iiviII sst5siil Of
fered to pay the costs of the suit if the
case was brought into court and the
county should be beaten.
