What the ex-queen's attitude is tow
ard the candidat tes for delegates to con-
gress is uncertain. She has great influ-
ence with the natives and if she gives
advice to vote for Wilcox or Prince Gu
pid it will practically mean the election
of the one she favors. Prince Cupid,
who is her favorite nephew. is the Re-
publican candidate In a speech this
week he denied that the ex-queen favor
ed Wilcox.
Prince Cupid said he told his aunt
that the best interests of Hawaii de-

make the fight as Republican. The
ex-queen VIII not talk on the subject
and she claims to be strictly neutral
but her confidential agent. ]. o. Carter,

WENT HOME TO REGISTER.
Governor Stanley Makes a Sudden
Trim to Wichita.

Governor Stanley expected to spend
today in Topeka, but he suddenly dis
covered last night that he had not yet
registered this year. and he went to
Wichita today to attend to that import
ant duty. so that he will be able to vote
this year.
Before going, however. he issued
commission to B. f. Hudson. of Atchi-
son, to- succeed Judge Bland as judge of
the district court ofAtchison county.
The commission dates from last Satur-
day. This makes Judge BANDS resig-
nation effective, and Judge Hudson will
hold over for two years.
Governor Stanley also issued two pa
roles before he left. One was for Chas.
Thompson, who was sentenced to the
penitentiary about two years ago for
term of ten years for manslauzhter-
Thompson is young man who lived
in the western part of Jewell county.
He was in Lebanon, Smith county. dur
ing a celebration there in September.

travelling gambler named Jackson, was
struck on the head with a rock. from
the effects of which he died. Thomson
was arrested for the deed and was con-
victed of manslaughter on circumstan-
tial evidence. His father is now in the
Topeka hospital for the insane. sent
there largely as result of his sons
conviction.
The whole town of Lebanon and all
the country around there have petition
ed for Thomoson's release on parole.
Among those who wrote personal letters
to the governor in his behalf were Judge
Picker, L. NJ. Linton. ]. b. Dykes, and
county officers of both Jewell and Smith
counties. ]. r. Burrow signs q promise
that Thompson viii be given employ
ment, and everybody certifies to his pre-
vious good character. and there was
considerable doubt as to his guilt. For
that reason Governor Stanley paroled
him.
The other parole was issued to John
Hall, who was sent to the oenitentiary
in 1889 on the charge of stealing a team
and wagon. Hall was soldier in com
pany NJ, Rcosevelt'S Rough Riders. He
brought quantity of relics home with
him from the war, and according to his
story agreed with another man to travel
through the country selling them il the
other man would furnish a team. They
met in Olathe. but the man could not
meet him in Enlpcria later. Hall did so.

turned it over to him. the two went to
a restaurant for supper The other man
heard he was to be arrested and fed.
Then Hall took possession of the team
the other man had turned Ove- to him
and was himself arrested for stealing
the team and wagon. He was convicted
and sent to the Denitentiary but his
story made sufficient impression that
Judge RurriS, who sentenced him, and
some of the jurors and the county at
torney who convicted him. asked for his
release that he may support his family.

portant one. 1t may be productive OF
immediate results on the situation
The conference in Mr.. Thomas office
lasted a little more than one hour. When
the participants dispersed they declined
to make any statement as to what had
transpired.
Added significance was attached to
Mr.. Truesdale's words in view Of the
fact that until today he has steadfastly
adhered to the statement that no step
in the direction of settlement had been
reached During the conferences of last
week he reiterated this statement with
emphasis and as late as Saturday after
noon he refused to admit that any pre-
gress had been made The other opera

talk when seen as they entered the
building. ]. P. Morgan left his yacht

preached as he came from it, but one
and all refused to say anything. 1t was
announced, however, that the conference
was informal.

MUST MOVE BODY
Mrs. Buttons Remains Were
Illegally Buried.
J udge Hazen's Opinion Regard
ing Cemetery Case.
LOT is NOT PROPERTY.
Family Burying Groond for the
Family Only.
No Others Have Right to Be
Buried There.
LOT is NOT PROPERTY.

Judge Hazen issued a mandatory in
junction this morning in a very pecu-
liar case, that of the heirs of Henry
Vesper against Mrs. Anna Kutz and the
Topeka Cemetery association. The suit
was for the removal of body from
lot in the Topeka cemetery, and the de-
c1sion of the court is a mandatory one
and the wish of the Vesper heirs must
be carried out
Henry Vesper bought a lot in the To-
peka cemetery. His wife died, and he
buried her there. One of his children
was subsequently buried in the same
lot. and at his death he was laid beside
them. A short time before his death,
however. he married a second wife.
After his death this second wife's moth
er, Mrs. Button. died. and was buried
in the Vesper family lot, although she
was not a member of the family. This
was done by the widow of Henry Yes
per. without the Sa notion of his other
heirs. three sons and his daughter, Mrs.
Rooster. Then the widow married one
Ed Kutz, effectua1ly removing herself
from the Vesper family The Vespel
heirs declare that they did not know of
the burial of their step grandmother in
the family plot until some time after it
occurred, and that when they made the
discovery, they demanded of Mrs. Kutz
and the Topeka Cemetery association,
which had abetted her in fheinterment of
an alien on the Vesper family lot, that
the remains be removed. This the de-
that Mrs. VeSper-Kutz had an equal
right with the other heirs to the prop
erty of Henry Vesper, deceased, and
that the burial lot was his property,
therefore she had a right to bury any
one she wanted to on her half of the
ground not already occupied. Also, that
there was only room left for two graves,
and she had used but one of them, her
lawful share.
In making his decision Judge Hazen held
that a cemetery lot was not to be classed
as property. That it was purchased for
but one purpose, that efs burial, the ceme-
terry association reserving certain rights,
and therefore being unable to give a
property title to it. That it was not prop
erty because the courts could stop its use
for anything but a byrial place, and that
no one, whether he owned the lot or not.
could build a house On it or-use it in any
other way except, for its ffftepded purpose.
He also hetd that. a burial Tot Is purchased
with the, Intention tsl1at 1T should be a
resting place for the family, andsnot for
outsiders except in case where the heirs
were all agreed to the arrangement The
court also cited precedent to establish his
right to issue a mandatory injunction, a
question which has been contested in the
state. There is no case to be found exact
ly parallel to this one, but Judge Hazen
read a decision given in the state of New
York which was similar.
