GRAHAM PARDONED.
Sentence of Convict Who Helped
QueIl Mutiny COMMITTED.

Governor Stanley returned last night
from the penitentiary at Lansing with
determination to reward Floyd Ora
ham, the negro convict who aided War
den Joe Tomlinson in suppressing the
instruction in the : coal mine. This
morning the governor kept his word and
conmuted Grahan's sentence so that it
will expire at once. The necessary
papers were made out today and signed
They Will be forwarded to Lansing and
tomorrow Floyd Graham Will step out
from behind the iron doors a free man.
Graham was sentenced from Fort
Scott on October 4, 1892 A fifteen year
sentence was put upon him for enter
ing a shop and holding up the shop
keeper. He secured S1.95. He. had just
wandered into the town from nowhere
and. as there had been several hold
up games of this kind happening about
that particular time. feeling was intense
and Graham's offense was made an ex-
ample.
Graham you'd have had about tire
moro years to serve yet. His commuta-
ton for fair to good behavior. which
could not exceed 1914 days, would have
let him out some time in 1904
Graham was refused a pardon on April
%, 1899. The board of pardons recon-
mended a Communication Of sentence TO
eight years because Graham was only 4
boy in his teens when the crime was
committed and they regarded the SELL
tence as too severe. Three marks were
against Grahan's prison record however
fighting, talking in cell and hiding oai
to try for escape. The governor refused
a pardon.
Grahams climb of 700 feet up the shaft
to bring the news of the guards peril
and his leading of the rescuing party i'll
to the mine has turned the tide in his
favor and Governor Stanley very brisk
" and cheerfully granted the commuta-
ton this morning that he refused two
years ago.

Mayor Of Chicago's Chinatown. who came
here recently to iron out difficulties existing
between the local Chinese factions. has
found q task beyond his diplomacy and has
called in City Attorney Frank Gordon as
an arbitrator.
Both factions have agreed to abide by the
decision Of Mr.. Gordon ana the final near
ing fs scheduled for tomorrow.
An agreement has been reached touching
certain phases of the condition. Doctor
Wong Song. against whom one faction has
been warning, Is to leave Kansas City.
That Is agreed upon by both factions. Fan
tan games are to be taxed and lottery
games VIII pay tribute for the support Of
the Chinese Masonic society.
The problem vet to be solved involves the
method of collection. Twenty-Five cents fs
10 be collected from the winner of each
game Of fan-tan. and 10 cents as a contri-
button levied for each lottery drawing. But
the contention comes in the selection of a
person who Is to receive and handle the
money for the society-who fs to be the GO
between between the gamblers and the Of
5cers Of the society. This is the question
