Kansas City. Mo-. Feb. s.-Governor
Dockery will tomorrow announce the ap-
Dointmen. of William T. Kenper and Frank
P. Sebree TO be Police Commissioners of
Kansas City. While Kemper is City Hall
Democrat Sebree is an executive officer Of
the County Court wing Of the party.
There is no question about Kemper con-
trolling the City Hall Democrats. but until
Sebree was named there were grave doubts
about the nominee from that side Of the
house controlling the Shannon men. Joe
Shannon, leader of the rebellious county
men. tonight settled that by giving out
the following interview:
TT means peace in the party. My hands
are tied. l cid not expect this. The Gov
ernOr had entirely thrown us. slipped the
band on and run rope around our wrists.
Nothing the Governor could have done,
il he had gone out of his way to ohlige me,
instead Of resorting to strategy to compel
the opposition here to put up by our boys
in the county. For six years Sebree has
been our candidate for Mayor. our County
He is as honest as the day, as watc.l.ul as
a needle to the compass. as sterling as
gold and as fair a man al ever trod the
earth.
We have been charged with being in
rebellion because We wanted to be. State
committeeman WaiSh mas been charged In
the same terms. l want to say now that
the Democrats never had better lot Of
men, 1t never had more useful lot of men
and it never had more sincere lot Of men
than our crowd. All We wanted was a fair
deal. We wanted 1t in the county in the
city, and we still want 1t in the State. The
Governor has indicated his fairness. We
will meet him more than half way. This
goes for the county and l am almost secure
to say II will go for the city.
III our State Committeeman. Mr.. Walsh,
gets the same bundle Of palms We have
been handed-well l cannot commit Mr..
Walsh. He is decidedly his own coun-
selor'
Alderman Fendergast has declared the ap-
pointments suit him entirely.
Will T. Kemper is wealthy man. a re-
tired grain dealer. and a native Of the
northern part of the State. Frank sebree
WAS horn in Howard County fifty years ago.
His brother to-day is the Naval Governor
of one of the new Pacific islands. Frank Is
a lawyer by profession. and, while residing
in Saline. served two terms in the Iegisla-
ture. He made the race here four years ago

Nothing could be more important here po-
litically than the reconciliation of the Dem

trouble contracted through ex-
posure. On the morning after the
first frost Bill was discovered in
the basin of the park fountain,
limp and pale. He was buried
with appropriate ceremonies, but
was unfortunately disinterred with
in short time by Gypsy and the
pups. When last seen he was in
the mouth of the heartless terrier
who, followed by her progeny, was
disappearing under zone of the
warehouses. His final resting place
is consequently matter of specu.
lation. During the summer Bill
laid several eggs, which never

self from the fifth gallery of the
dollhouse to the stone floor forty
feet below, fracturing his leg and
thigh and receiving internal in
iuries from which he died 4e hours
later. He was unconscious when
he was picked up and did not re-
gain consciousness.
Schwartz was sent here from
Minneapolis four years ago, and
his term of servitude would have
expired the 9th of next month.
While he was never violently in.
sane, it was known to the officials
that he suffered from a species OF
intermittent dementia of an ap-
parently harmless character and
everything that could be done by
the authorities to make his lot
easier was done. There can be no
doubt that he was temporarily
insane when he planned the deplor-
able act. He had many good
qualities and was rated as a good
prisoner, never having been in
punishment nor lost his grade.
Schwartz was 26 years of age,
and left father and large family
of brothers and sisters to mourn
his loss. The remains were taken
in charge by his relatives and were
removed to st. Paul Wednesday.
