COUNCIL TO MEET.
viii Discuss the DR.. Judd Case
Tonight.

At 2;2O this afternoon, a special meet
ing of the city council was called by
Mayor Parker for this evening at s
O'Clock. at which time the question Of
hiring an attorney to prosecute the
charges against City Physician c. r
Judd win be settled.
The meeting this evening viii DraeE
cally settle the question OF whether or
not the prosecution of DIR. Judd will be
continued. The vote on the employment
of an assistant city attorney will to a
great extent be a test Of the attitude
of the council on the case. One member
of the council said today:
IF we can't get the council to en-
pJoy an assistant city attorney to pros
ecute this case, we might as well give
UP the attempt to Gust Judd"
Councilman CLANCY, who would be IN
favor of employing an attorney, is out
of town. Councilman Bergundthal IS
fast set in his determine ton to fgnt
Mayor Parker in the Judd case. 1t is
therefore very likely that the council
will refuse to employ anyone to present
the city's side of the case against DR..
Judd
1t has become necessary to employ an
assistant city attorney in this case be
cause City Attorney Spencer is too busy
to work up the evidence against DR..
judd. It looks as though the city ought
to be willing to give the charges a fair
hearing by employing someone to take
City Attorney Spencer's place The cost

We hope to play in Topeka some time
but it is so late in the season now
Sig. PadereWSkis idea of the size Of
Kansas is short indeed He was offer
ed a date to play in Topeka. He declin-
ed saying that it would interfere with
his Wichita concert. He said that while
in New York IF he wakes in time to
view the miles and miles between To
peka and Wichita he will discover that
he might play good many concerts in
the state and they would not interfere
with each other in the least.
But Paderewski is oblivious to Kan
sas, and for that matter Kansas is OBJ
livious to him All except Wichita.
There are few celebrities that pass
through Topeka who escaped the grasp
of the mighty hand of Depot Master Pat
Sherman. He has shaken hands with
Blaine, Mckinley, Roosevelt, Funston,
Sullivan and others but he did not meet
the great pianist. In fact Sherman did
not know he was peacefully sleeping
within his bailiwick If he had the
slumbers might have ceased.
Madam Paderewski accompanies her
husband on his travels. She watches

one year in the county jail for petit
larceny. Malone was charged with steal
ing a twenty dollar bill, which consti-
tutes grand larceny and means a term
in the penitentiary. but the jury decided
that it was only 1885, which is petit
larceny and let Malone off with a jail
sentence. Governor Stanley couldn't
figure out how a twenty dollar bill could
be marked down to 1885 by the jury,
so he refused the parole.
Others who were refused paroles
were:
Henry Holbert. sentenced to eleven
months in jail for assault at Manhat-
tan
William Stose, sentenced from Sum-
ner county, to six years in the peniten-
tiary for burglary.
Alex Brown, sentenced from Lyon
county for five years for criminal as
sault.
Joseph Harper, who is in the county
jail in Douglas county for not paying d
fine and costs. He has been in jail three
or four times before, and if he is enti-
tied to be released the county commits
sioners have power TO release him.

CONVICTS REWARDED.
Performed Dangerous Tasks
and Terms Are Shortened.

Today was pardon day with Governor
Stanley and he departed from a rule
which he laid down when he first went
into office. The rule was never to COM
mutee a penitentiary convict's sen
tenee so that he would be released dur
ing some future governors term of Of
flee. His theory has been that if a pris
oner is not worthy of an Immediate par
don. it will do him no harm tokstay in
prison until he has been sufficiently
punished, and the governor who is then
in Office can take the responsibility of
turning him loose.
But today Governor Stanley granted
three communications and two Of those
nuted will not be released for sew
eral years. These three prisoners work
ed on the retimbering of the peniten-
tiary mine shaft, a dangerous under
taking, and the communications are to re-
ward them for that work. Others have
been similarly rewarded heretofore

WILL TALKlT OVER.
Business Men to Discuss Kansas
City Trolley Line.

Some of the prominent business men
Of the city are circulating a call for
special meeting, of the Commercial elup.
to DISCUSS the question OF kansas
City-Topeka electric line. Those who
favor a Kansas City line viii be given
an opportunity TO. present their case,
and an expression will be given as to
the attitude Of the Commercial club on
this important question.
Many Of the business men who signed
the petition to the council for a Vine
wood Park railway did so under the as
sumption that the Kansas City electric
line had nothing whatever to do with
the case. Since it has become apparent
to nearly everyone that the Ninewood
Park road is likely to be an entering
wedge for the Kansas City electric line,
those who signed the original Ninewood
railway petition are DESTROYS of quail
flying their former action.
Some of those who signed the petition
for the NineWood Park read did so
without underst landing that by so doing
they pledged them selves to great ex-
tent in favor OF the Kansas City Tope-
ka interurban line. And many of those
who at the recent meeting of the Com
mercial club voted in favor of a resolu-
ton indOrsing the NinewOod road did
not fully understand the possible effee It
of their action The proposed meeting
of the Commercial club viii give the
signers of the original petition and also
the Commercial club as a whole a
chance to set itself in the right light on
this point.

In 1910 the sugar production Of the
world was 1.150OoO tons; in 1900, $500. 600
tons-a gain of about $50 per cent. while
the number of consumers had increased
by only so per cent. In this country
each person now eats three pounds Of
sugar where formerly he ate one. In
1870 all but per cent of the sugar came
from beets; in 1900 cane yielded 1850, 600
tons. and beets yielded 5,950,0o0 tons, or
about 6S per cent of the whole. This
change has not come about in the Or

It has been caused by the bounty sys-
tenn More than half of the yield Of
