Officers Appear to Be Slow to
Make Arrests.

The only arrests made by the police
since Saturday were a few DRINKS.
Five of these unfortunates faced the
court this morning and received a fine
of SIS each. Another person named L.
Heary, got an extra charge of disturb
ing the peace and resisting an officer.
1t seemed that he called at FrisbeeS
chilli house on East Fourth avenue, and
shocked the proprietor and his family
by using language of an ultamarine
hue. Frisbee could not abide the one
sided conversation, and called for the
piece" Officers Pavey and Lucas
responded, and started for the station
with Heary and a companion named E.
Harmell, who was also 1aboring under
a load of spirituous liquors. HarmeIl
came along with Pavey without a muir
muir, but his friend Heary objected to
the company of Lucas, and refused to
tread the road to Incarceration. Lucas
got as far the bay market at the
corner of Fourth and Jackson streets,
but had to wait for reinfOrcementS.
Sergeant Golf came and took wing,
but still the prisoner was too husky.
Two more policemen were required to
start him and they carried him hog
fashion" until he promised to walk the
remaining distance alone. After care
fully summing up the evidence the
court decided that Mr.. Heary had about
SIS worth of amusement. and that he
should be charged full value.
The entire police department is specu-
lating on the changes to be made in the
city pay roll. Some of them express an
opinion that only a few, probably five
or six of the present force will fall
beneath the axe. Others are confident
that the present gang will be represent
ed by a sad memory only. Still others
declare their belief that the headsman
will spare about a half dozen of the
pick of the force. If policeman smiles
the others look upon him with suspic-
ion and decide that he has made good
with the new Administered ton. Sergeant
McElroy says he has been the victim
of four political diSmiSsals, and can
stand fifth, if the new slate gives his
space to some one else II
is the general opinion that the
force will only be trimmed at the lower
end, and that the old officers will not
be dethroned. who will be chief?' is
the topic of the day Hank Lindsay
and Tim Donovan are the accepted can
didates, and the police force is about
equally divided in their guess.

TO COLLECT BACK TAXES.
Leavenworth County After an Old
Time Dodger.

Leavenworth, Jan. 13.-The board of
county commissioners have passed
resolution instructing County Attorney
Michael to commence suit against John
G. Douglass to compel him to pay his
back taxes or sell his property This
will be a test case of the law passed by
the last legislature regarding the collec-
ton of back taxes
Chairman Bleakley of the county
board in speaking of the instructions
to the county attorney, said: we
thought we would open the ball with a
case against Douglass. He is the big
gest tax dodger, and If we can't stick
him we can't stick anybody. Douglass
is in arrears $4,000 on six lots alone.
The back taxes due on his residence
property alone amounts to $4,000. He
has paid them but one year since 1869.
In addition there is due on five other
lots to which Douglass holds the title,

MAYOR PARKEG'S IDEAS.
Topeka's new mayor is not much of
man to talk. Il hate to see my name in
the newspapers he declared to a re-
porter for the State Journal Il don.t
like to have the newspapers mention it
every time Sneeze.
That is characteristic speech for
MIR. Parker. He is a man of few words,
and his interviews with a long line of
Off1ceSeekerS and friendly politicians
who were at his office this morning
were very short.

regarding appointments, Il have not

around me, and get the situation Ill
hand Yes there are number of can
didates for the office of chief of police.

titled to appoint before 1 make any ap-

G.. c. Clemens is another whose posi-

attorney for Mr.. Parker in the long liti-
cation.
Mr.. Parker is a mayor whose mind is
his own, however, and the general SEN

make his own appointments. Mr.. Par
ker is accustomed to do things to suit
himself, and it is certain that no one
can dictate his policy.
III. c. IinQSPV'S boom for chief of
police is based on the good work which
Mr.. Lindsey did for Parker during the

County superintendent Rogers and
the county commissioners have clashed
over the bridge question again.
Last week Mr.. Rogers went to the
brick yard bridge west of town and
condemned the steel cylinders used in

by Rogers and ordered the work on

In the letting of the contracts for the
bridges there was a large amount of
bad feeling shown between Young and
Hoover. The two commissioners found
that the material being used in the
bridge was up to the requirements of
the specifications.

RAINED HOT IRON.
Firemen Fight Fire Under
Difficulties.
Iron Plates Fall Around Them
in Shower.
A LOSS OF S275.OOO.
Big Building Full of Barley
Consumed.
Property Belonged to the Amer
lean Malt Trust.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-A loss estimated at
$2I5.000 was caused by a fire that broke
out at 1:45 o'clock this morning in the
plant of the J. F. We'll branch of the
American Mailing company. The prop
erty is situated at Fifty-second street
and the Panhandle railroad tracks.
The fire started in the elevator, a great
structure $50 feet high, covering an area
300 by 200 feet and having a capacity of
100000 bushels of grain. 1t was filled
with barley almost to its capacity. The
building was destroyed and the con-
tents are almost total loss.
Just south of the mailing company's
plant are the Panhandle's freight yards
and at the outset of the fire there was
serious menace to vast amount of
rolling stock.
The burning elevator set a great
glare aloft in the light of which scores
of men scurried back and forth in siren
uous efforts to roll the Panhandle
freight cars away from danger of igni-
ton. In this they were only partly sue
cessful, for several freight cars were
destroyed.
Adjoining the elevator was a pickle
factory on the west owned by ]. We'll.
Great efforts were made to protect this
plant, but it was somewhat damaged.
From the roof of this factory the fire
men fought the flames in the elevator,
but they worked at great disadvantage,
owing to the great height of the build
ing. When the flames broke through
the roof of the elevator, large sheets of
iron plates fell from the building and
greatly added to the danger of the fire.

and there was sufficient blaze to throw
them clear of the building, endangering
the lives of the men working near

Avenue Hotel.
CONFLICTING STORIES.
Said That James Booth Wanted
to Marry Her.
Heard Sister Say Something
About Killing Old Man,"

Mrs Marie Stanley. who is charged
with the murder of James Booth at
ottawa Friday night, was captured In
Topeka at the Fifth Avenue hotel sat
lirday at midnight by Sheriff Menden-
hall of Kansas City. Kansas, and Ser
eeant McElroy and Policeman Nolles
who assisted in searching the hotels
Sheriff Mendenhan was notified by
telephone from ottawa that the woman
had gone to Kansas City to visit an
uncle named William Bendure who lives
at 1915 North Mill street. The sheriff
at once called at Bendure's home and
was told that the woman had left, but
her destination was not known.
Sheriff Mendenhall watched the trains
for several hours, but could not find
her, and about midnight came to To-
peka- Assisted by the police ne made
a round of the hotels, and at the F1ftn
Avenue was informed by the night clerk
that such a woman had taken a room,
and had registered as Mrs. Lennon.
The officers were shown up to her room
The sheriff knocked at the door, anu
when she answered the summons, in
formed her that she was wanted Tor
murder. The woman denied eryth1ng,
that her name was Stanley, or any OF
the other names by which she is known,
but she filled the description so Well
that the sheriff was confident he had
the right person, and she was taken in
station for several hours, until an early
morning train, and while there she con-
fessed that her name was Stanley, but
denied any connection with the murder
of Booth. She said further that she
was is years old, having been married
when she was Is, but had been deserted
by her husband. She said she had
heard her sister say she was going to
kill the ''old man" and get his mone-A
but she knew nothing about the murder
until told by the sheriff.
While Mrs. Stanley was held at the
police station the officers returned and
searched the room, and were rewarded
by finding a gold watch which had be-
longed to the murdered man, which
spoiled her story and proved that she
had some knowledge of the crime. She
had thrown the watch under the bed
while the officers were waiting for her
to dress.
When asked by the officers why she
registered under an assumed name she
replied that she had friends in Topeka
and did not want to be bothered by
them. Sheriff MendenhaH returned
with her to Kansas City early Sunday
morning, where she was turned over
to Sheriff Costigan of Franklin county.
Mrs. Stanley is a blond and good look
ing. She showed no signs of fear while
being questioned by the officers, and
continued to declare her innocence of
the murder after confeSsing her name.
She told the sheriff that she had known
Booth for a long time, and that he had
asked her to marry him, but she had
refused.
