KANSAS NEWS.
A New Constitutional Question
Raised at LeavenwOrth.
Rights of a COlOred Man on Trial
in Court.
COMPLEXION OF JURY.
Lawyer Townsend Claims Must
Have Some Negroes
COMPLEXION OF JURY.
AS They Are Taxpayers and
Should Be Represented.

Leavenworth, June ia question
new in the courts of Kansas was raised
at the trial of Robert jackson, the col
ored boy charged with burglary and
larceny in Chickering hall, which was
tried in the district court.
The question which was raised is the
one affecting the constitutional rights
of colored men, when they are tried
by juries composed of white men, and
when no coloTed men have been drawn
on the jury.
Jackson was discharged by the jury
as there was nothing beyond circum-
stantial evidence on which he could be
convicted and the evidence was not sat
isfactory to the jury.
The question of the right to try
Jackson by a jury of white men, on
which no member of his race had been
chosen as a juror, was raised by one
of his attorneys, w. B. Townsend.
When the case was called for trial
Townsend objected to the empaneling
of a jury, and moved to discharge the
prisoner and quaSh the Indictment, for
the reason that the constitutional rights
of the prisoner had been violated in
this: that as in Leavenworth county
there are several thousand colored peo-
pie who are eligible to serve as jurors,
none had been drawn on the panel for
this term of court.
The motion made by Townsend was
overruled by the court and a jury was
empaneled by the court to try the case.
After the jury was empaneled Town
send objected to the trial being pro-
ceeded with and objected to the intro
duction of evidence, and rendered testi-
mony to show that no colored man had
been chosen on the jury. The court
also overruled this motion and the trial
was proceeded with.
After the evidence had been offered
and the arguments made, the jury dis
charged the prisoner for want of suffi-
cient evidence to convict him, the evil
dence being purely circumstantial.
Il would have appealed the case"
said Townsend. ''if the prisoner had
been convicted"
This question which was raised by
the attorneys for Jackson is not a new
one. Some time ago, it was raised in
Texas in the trial of a colored man,
named Carter, for murder. In that case
the question was raised and after the
trial the case was appealed, finally go
ing to the supreme court of the United
States on the constitutional question
whether a colOred man has a right to
have men of his own race on the jury
where a large per cent. of the tax
payers in the county are colored men.
The case was decided by the supreme
court by remanding the case to the
lower court for a new trial.
The question has never been raised
in Kansas, but it is one which will
probably be raised.

STRONG MEN LIFT WEIGHTS.
Anderson, the Swede, Defeats Rolan-
dow For the Championship.

New York, June 11.-Arvid Anderson,
the Swede, won the strong man cham
pionship Of the world at the Grand Cen
trail palace by defeating George Ro-
landoW. The contest was very even
and the ninth event, putting up a 150-
pound dumb-bell the greater number of
times, decided the contest. Anderson
put the bell up thirteen times. while
Rolandow failed after eleven.
Rolandow entered a protest at the
manner in which Anderson raised the
bell, as he put it up with a jerk in
stead Of a straight lift. AS there was
nothing in the articles about the way
in which the bell had 20 De lifted, the
Judges decided in Anderson's favor, and
the Swede won the contest with one
point in his favor, the total points be-
ing: Anderson, 5; Rolandow, f.
After the end Of the contest the two
principals gave an exhibition of
strength and cuickness. Rolandow's

TwINE FOR DEALERS.
Stores Will Be Allowed to Handle the
Penitentiary Product.

Salina, June IA. Barnes, chief clerk
of the Kansas penitentiary, made ar
engagements here to put the product of
the penitentiary binding Irvine plant on
the market in direct competition with
the trust Irvine. The penitentiary di-
rectors have heretofore sold to farmers
direct and have shut out dealers. This
has caused dealers to work against the
state Irvine and for the trust product.
with the result that the sale of the pen
itentiary Irvine has been greatly
abridged
After Monday" said Mr. Barnes,
farmers can buy direct of dealers. If
the dealers buy in 5000 pound lots they
can get enough discount to give them
a small profit. Even If we don't sell
a pound of Irvine we-vill have saved the
farmers of Kansas 5000, 900 at least by
reducing the price. I met a man from
Kingfisher, Ok, today and he says
Irvine there is selling for twenty cents
a pound while here in Kansas it is only
twelve cents"
The penitentiary Irvine viii be placed
on the market here for ten and one-half
cents. which will probably result in a
further reduction in the trust Irvine.
The same thing will be done throughout
the wheat belt.
