Judge Hazen Calls His Methods Dis
honorable.

Judge Hazen this morning passed up
on the case of DR.. J. 3. ingalls,, of Gin
ton, Mass, against Drulissa Merritt of
Topeka.
The suit was brought by ingalls, to Sc
cure the first lien upon a piece of pro-
perty on Fillmore street, between Tenth
and Eleventh streets. In making his de-
ciSion, which allowed DIR. Ingalls, the
first lien, Judge Hazen said: Il can not
make this decision without considering
the dishonest and dishonorable methods
concerning the transactions.
Judge HaZen reviewed the case ex-
planning that the firm of Hunt & Evans
secured a mortgage on the property for
DR.. Ingalls, and sent him the note and
mortgage and later without his consent
made copies of the mortgage and fore
closed on the property in their own
name Evans then left the firm and J.
H-Hunt mortgaged the property to Mrs
Merritt, an old colored woman. and
placed the mortgage in the Bank of To-
peka as collateral security. Judge Ha-
zen held that DIR. ingalls,, who had CIV
en- no authority and who knew nothing
about the mortgage being foreclosed had
the first lien upon the property.

CALLS 1T AN INSULT.
Tillman Bitterly Resents the
Presidents Action.

WASHINGTON, Feb 24-The following is
the letter from the White House with
drawing Mr.. Tillmans invitation to dine
there tonight:
white House, Feb 24-The president
regrets that he is compelled to with
draw the invitation to you TO dine to-
night at the White House.
GEO. B. CORT ELYOU.
Secretary to the President"
Commenting upon the letter Mr.. Till
man said:
The president, of course. has the
right to invite any one he chooses to
dine with him officially, or otherwise
and also has the right to withdraw such
invitation. AS 1 am not conscious of
having done anything personal, or Off
cial which gives the president the right
to insult me, 1 am surprised at his ac-
ton.
THE invitation to the dinner came to
me unsought and Unexpectedly, and so
far the withdrawal is concerned it
is a matter of absolute Indifference to
me. 1t is the motive behind it which
seeks to put me in the condition of un-
worthiness to meet the president and
senate. Prince Henry, the presidents
guest, cones from a country where
custom makes it obligatory upon any
man who regards himself a gentleman
to promptly resent an insult and the
method is by challenge to a duel. That
was once the custom but it is now OBJ
Solete in the United States, and we
have been forced a people here to
cling to the old Anglo-Saxon rule of
considering the lie direct as the first
blow, and no man could hold up his
head in decent society should he being
near enough to answer the lie with
a blow not give it.
"As for my being in contempt of the
senate which I presume is the excuse for
this insult at the hands of the president,
that 1 deny. 1 have been guilty of
breach of the rules and the privileges of
sitting
as court. but as a Legislative assembly

and / ready to abide by it's judgment
and action 1t has the right to arrest me
and to hold me in custody until it makes
disposition of my case, but it has no right
TO gag me and the president has no right
TO judge me guilty of conduct unbecom-
ing a gentleman unless he bellies all his
antecedents. which lead to believe
that he would have done just I did
under the circumstances. As to which of
us is the gentleman in this matter. in
view of the unsought invitation to dinner
at the White House and its indecent with
dra wal. / am willing to abide by the de-
cision of all rave and self-respecting

THEY Will KEEP OUT.
Knights and Ladies of Security Won't
Mix in Council Fight.

Tt has been decided by those members
of the knights and Ladies of Security
who are opposing the candidacy of Ma
tional President w. B. kirkpatrick for
member of the council of the city of To-
peka that the lodge should refrain from
taking any part in the city council con-
troversy. The big fight which has been
made President Kirkpatrick cam
didacy will henceforth be confined en-
tirely to personal work among the mem
bers of the lodge.
The lodge members who have been
opposing President Kirkpatrick insist
that they We're not making a personal
fight on Mr.. Kirkpatrick, but that they
are opposed to jeopardizing the stand
ing of the lodge by having the national
president become involved in bitter
political fight of purely local nature
The three councils of the knights and
Ladies of Security which exist in To-
peka have through their officials made
public statements concerning the fight
on Mr.. Kirkpatrick, in which they state
that the lodge does not want to take
cognizance of any political factions, and
that it does not seem wise to interfere
with the candidacy of Mr.. Kirkpatrick,
provided he thinks it best to make the
fight. The lodge members will express
their opinions of Mr.. Kirkpatrick in the
politician for their president, they can
vote Mr.. Kirkpatrick out. This seems
to be logical and sensible way for the
lodge to settle it's family affairs.
The only statement which deserves
comment is the one signed by Presi-
dent w. T. Horn and Secretary Mrs.
e, A Allen, of Council No. 2. This
statement is as follows:
ITO the Public:
Having noticed in the State Journal Of
Thursday evening, February 20, q state
ment to the effect that Topeka council No.
2 of the Knights and Ladies of Security

sire to denounce the article as absolutely
untrue, as action whatever was taken
by the council with reference to appoint
ing any such committee. Respectfully,
wv r. HORN,
president Topeka Council No. 2.
MRS. Il. A. ALLEN.
Secretary"
This statement is misleading. because it
asserts that the State Journal printed
something which it did not. No such
statement as is claimed appeared in the
State Journal The State Journal stated,
under authority of President Horn him
self that resolutions condemning the can
didacy of w. B. Kirkpatrick were passed
bv Council No 3 1t was afterward found
that no resolutions were passed and the
State Journal made a voluntary correction
of the error.
