BRIBERY IN KANSAS CITY.
Public Prosecutor Has Names and
VIII Proceed to Investigate
Damaging Charges.

Kansas City. Mo. April 23.-Her-
bert 5. Hadley, prosecutor of Jack
son county. said yesterday:
Information has come to me in the
course of the last few days that bri-
berry had recently been effected in Sc
curing the passage of ordinances in
the city council. | have the names
of those. who. it is said, were bribetl.
the names of those who did the brib-
ing and the names of the witnesses
who have the knowledge necessary to
convict.
Il shall personally investigate these
reports. and if | am able to secure
any reliable and tangible evidence
that bribery has been done in Kansas
City during the course of the las
three years, the period covered by tho
statute of limitations, / shall ask
Judge Wofford to summon a special
grand jury for the investigation of
the charges.
Il am confident, however, that no
such disgraceful condition exists in
Kansas City as was found in ST. Louis.
Still, if this crime has been commit
ted. then both the brihe-giver and the
bribe-taker should be sent to the
1enitentiary."

A Long Sentence to Serve.

The supreme court recently passed
upon very interesting and peculiar
case One Brady was convicted on
twenty indictments for illegal sales
of liquor at Jonesboro. and fined in
various amounts, making a total for
fines and costs of about $4,000 Being
unable to pay these fines. Brady was
sent to the county farm to work them
out at 10 cents per day. At"this rate
his term of Imprisonment for twenty
days of illegal liquor selling amounts
to something over twelve years. The
law governing Illegal sales of liquor
makes each day a separate offense, and
the twenty indictments were merely
for twenty days sales. A writ of
habeas corpus was sought from the
Craighead circuit court Various
grounds were alleged by counsel. but
the petition was denied and the case
went 10 the supreme court on GER
tiorari. The main contention relied
upon in the supreme court was that the
judgments assessing the fines and pro-
viding for Imprisonment unless paid.
since it was not specified in any of
them when the Imprisonment there
under should begin, took effect concur
rently, and that when the longest of
them was served out. the prisoner was
entitled to his release The supreme
court. however. took the view that the
imprisonment in such a case was not
8 l. ,.I.-
means of collecting the fine, therefore.
unless Brady is granted a pardon he
will have to serve about twelve years

Byrd Walker. serving a life term for
murder was last week pardoned by
Gov. Davis. Walker was convicted of
killing Andrew Burns in Logan coun-
ty in 1899, the trial taking place in
Franklin county on change of venue.
He was sentenced to be hanged. An
appeal was taken to the supreme court,
and the verdict of the trial court affirm
ed. An appeal then made to Gov.
Jones. who commuted his sentence to
life Imprisonment. There were no eye
witnesses to the killing. but the dead
man was unarmed and the circumstan-
ces were sufficient to convince the
jury that it was a case demanding the
extreme penalty. Walker and his
friends always eontended that Burns
had threatened his life. and that he
was of opinion when he killed him
that his own life was in danger.

LADIES' LINGERIE.

White is seen in all kinds Of cos
tunes and is by far more stylish
than any other color.
1t is the fad of the moment to put
touch of lace trimming on every ar
ticle of clothing. and up to date stock
ings have a lace insertion finish wo-
ven in the design.
Straw hats for wear with tailor
suits are of the wide sailor shape,
with slightly rolled brim and rather
low crown, trimmed with a silk scarf,
the ends of which hang in streamers
at the back.
A new and dainty effect in floral
garniture consists OF rosebuds formed
of the palest shade of rose-colored
chiffon. These are small in size and
worn in clusters on all sorts of light
boas and hats.
There is little showing of chiffon or
tulle. Bur lace hats will remain in
great favor just as lace gowns will
do. The lace will be thinner than il
was in the winter, but it will still be
trimmed with roses.
Corn flowers are being revived and
will be conspicuous on summer hats
Roses are tound in every shade. PAN
v blossoms are made into flower
toques. trimmed with deep violet rib
bon and look very handsome.
Gray is a favored shade. Silvery
grays that combine nicely with black.
whether of velvet, chiffon. lace or
moire. are selected by some. Others
add touches of orange. velvet. hello
trope or green's of soft or vivid hue.
Lace collars have changed their
style; they are quaint and purely OF
the 1880 period All sorts OF new
laces are making their appearance
every day. Melted lace colored silk
lace. dyed to match the new fabrics,
are among those most admired.

SUBPOENA JOHN NICHOLSON.
Gen. Funston Asks to he Permitted
to Face an Accuser whom He
Believes to be Myth.

Denver. Col, April 23.-Gen. Funs-
ton yesterday telegraphed Senator
Lodge. chairman of the senate com
mittee on the Philippines, asking him
to subpoena John Nicholson, who is
said to have been sergeant in the
Fourth cavalry. and examine him un-
der oath regarding the use of the
.water cure" Nicholson is reported
to have said at Norfolk. Va, that Gen.
Funston originated the water cure" !"
and practiced it almost daily for sew
eral months.
Gen. Funston said:
Il am inclined TO believe that Mich
olson is myth. l knew every non
commissioned officer in the troops of
the Fourth cavalry that were under
my command, and there was no ser
geant named Nicholson"

Washington, April 23.-Although no
statement is as yet obtainable as to
the reasons for dissolving the Smith
court-martial, it is understood that
the president is desirous that he him
self should review the proceedings of
the court martial instead of having
this reviewed at Manila. as would
have been the case had Gen. Chaffee
convened the court. 1t also is under
stood that the court will consist of
the same members named by Gen
Chaffce, so that there is no reflection
upon that officer involved in the
course adODted

an increase of over 100 per cent. The
quantity of butter made on farms, how
ever, increased but 37.3 per cent. and
