FALSE IMPRISONMENT

New York, Jan. 25.-The Times says.
John G. Carlisle. who was secretary OF
the treasury under President Cleveland.
has been sued by an indignant cab
driver for $1,000 damages. The cab
driver alleges that Mr. Carlisle falsely
caused his arrest and compelled him to
remain in the Tombs prison for three
weeks. The papers in the case were pre-
pared some weeks ago. but owing to the
difficulty Of getting at Mr.. Carlisle ne
was not served until this week. and then
the service was made by one Of the
plaintiffs attorneys. instead of by a reg
ular process serveH. Mr. Carlisle was so
busy with his work in preparing his
brief in the Porto Rico case before the
United States supreme court that the
process servers had difficulty in serving
the papers.
Richard F. Leake is the cabman suing
for damages According to his COM
plaint, on the night Of December p,
1898, Mrs. Carlisle returned to New York
city from Washington and engaged a
cabman at the Twenty third street ferry
to take her to her home. After she en-
tered the house she discovered that a
Sealskin cape valued at $3.50 was miss
ing. The next night Mr.. Carlisle, who
had a description Of I4eake, went with
a policeman to the ferry entrance and
there pointed him out as the man who
had taken the cape. Leake was arrest
ed and the next day was held by Magis~
trate Crane to await the action Of the
grand jury An indictment was found
against him, and In default of bail he
was committed to the Tombs. He was
tried before Judge CoWing in general
sessions on January 13. 1899. and was
acquitted. His defense was that he was
on theater duty the night the cape was
supposed to have been stolen. and that
ne had not been near the ferry he
declares in his complaint that he was
made i'll by mis- confinement in the
Tombs.
The case will come up for trial in the

Old law REVIVED
County Attorney InqnisitiOns
Provided For in New Bill.
Purpose Is to Secure Evidence
Against Liquor Sellers.
1T SCORES AT FIRST.
Secures Favorable RecOmmen-
datiOn In the House.
Lively Discussion Anticipated
Over Its Provisions.

The passage Of the county attorneys
inquisition bill" was recommended by
the house judiciary committee for pass
age today. 1t was reported this morn
ing and recommended for passage as
amended in the committee.
The provisions of this bill were in the
original Murray prohibitOry act, which
the supreme court held unconstitutional
because a certain section conferred ju-
dicial authority on county attorneys.
Since that decision that section of the
Murray act has been imperative.
J. 7. Richardson. of Pottawaton1ie,
evadeS this Objectionable section by pro-
V1dlng that when a witness refuses to
give Information concerning violations
OF the prohibitory act the county at
torney shall certify that fact to a JUS
tice Of the peace. The justice thereupOn
conducts the inquiry as to whether or
not the witness had a right to refuse
to answer and fines him for contempt
There are two penalties in store for a
witness who refuses to answer. First it
is a miSdemeanOr to refuse to testify
and second the reluctant witness Is IL
able to fine for contempt.
Richardson's S bill originally gave the
county attorney a fee Of IS for CON
Quoting the inquisition. The committee
struck 1T out He also had it made COM
pulSOry upon a joint keeper and his wife
to be included in its provisions. They
would be liable to testify against them
selves But the committee struck this
out also in the course of their lengthy
consideration of the bill, and insure to
defendants their constitutional right not
to be compelled to incrilninate them
selves
This bill promises to make a lively
fight on the floor of the house when it
comes up in committee of the whole. 1t

THAT GRAIN TRUST.
Legislature Has Notion to Investi-
gate It

Representative H. O'Donnelrs resolu-
ton for joint legislation with Missouri
to knock out grain trust methods at the
mouth of the Kaw, where they operate
against Kansas farmers, was adopted
by the house The resolution reads:
Resolved by the house of representa-
tives. the senate concurring therein,
that a joint committee be appointed
composed of five members, three from
the house and two from the senate. to
confer with the legislature of the state
Of Missouri now in session, relative to
legislation necessary to prevent discrim-
ination being made against any shippers
Of grain BY elevator men or other hand
lers of such commodity"
There was a disposition to demurr on
the part Of some members who remem-
bered the fate of the stock-yards joint
legislation Of four years ago. 1t was
contended that Kansas lost heavily by
that movement; that 1t was tricked by
the sister state, which now has the
stock-yards and Kansas has only the
bill she passed. This of course is not a.
full statement Of the facts The bill
passed before is not operative.
Stephen Cave. of Haskell, spoke in
ago as a Spectator and saw it all. He
expressed the fear that Kansas would
have its faith shattered again and little
good would come of it.
The vote was a confusion of yeas and
nays. but the speaker declared the resO-
luton adopted
