 Rabbi Newfield Chairman.

JUMPED HIS BAIL
William Poland Turned
Up Missing In the Su-
peri0r Court This
Morning.

When the case OF VIM. Poland was
called in the superior court this morn
ing, that worthy failed to respond, and
his bail of $3.50 was declared forfeited.
The county authorities have suspected
that since the bail OF Poland was re-
dnced from $500 to $3.50 by the superior
court he would fly rather than face what
was almost a sure conviction of felony,
and, under the circumstances, just why
steps were not taken to insure his APP
pearance for trial is not clear.
That Poland jumped his cash bail OF
$3.50 is not surprising; the HERALD call.
ed attention to this risk at the time the
bail was reduced, and was threatened
with contempt of court by hair trigger
attorney for so doing. 1t was known
that Poland had money, and would, Of
course, rather pay $3.50 than do a stunt
in the penitentiary, and the blame for
his escape belongs somewhere, and
should be placed where it belongs. 1t
is but due to the police Of Aberdeen to
say that the fault does not lie with
them. They did their full duty in the
matter, and the responsibility rests
with the county authorities.

COST OF POLICE
A City Of 1000 Paying
Nearly $4,000 a Year
for Police.

The Sunday Sun brings up the subject
of the cost of the city police in an at
tempted eulogy of Marshal Anstie for
which it deserves some credit. Not,
however, for the truthfulness of its state.
ment, but for having drawn attention to
the subject at this opportune moment.
Here is the article:
"The city police department, while
one OF the most expensive in the state OF
cities OF the same size, is also-paradoxia
as it may semitic least expensive,
Since Marshal -nstie took charge of the
work the number of arrests made has
been over 100 per cent greater than it
ever was in previous years, and this is
not the case because crime has increased
in the city but because more attention
has been paid to duties and the vicious
and criminal elements have been kept
under proper supervision. This is the
reason why the police force is the least
expensive in the state, az the fines COL
lected have totaled more than enough to
pay all salaries and office expenses"
Now, as it has become automatic in
Aberdeen that "when you see it in the
Sun you know it isn't so," the assertion
that the fines collected were more than
paying the cost of the polite force
naturally created doubt, and led to the
investigation of the records, and the
discovery that the police force of the city
was costing 5000 month, or $1,000 a
year, as follows:
One marshal, at 49,. "a
Three regular police, at $50 ........ Isl
Five special police, at $75 .......... 375
1Otdl. $O0l
The receipts last month from police
court fines amounted to just $1l2.25
leaving deficit CT $51775. Comment
would be superfuous.

BERCUNDTHAL THE MAN
Ccontinued from Firat Page.l

tration might be expected from him.
Bergundthal's friends claimed that
with the field clear Mr. Rergundthal
would carry the First, Third, Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth wards, and would get
a larger vote in the Second ward than
Hughes could possibly get. They
claimed that BergundthaIs majority IN
the First ward would be SO much larger
than the majority which Hughes could
get that it would more than Compensate
for the small losses which would result
from Hughes retirement Bergundthai
they claimed, was a new candidate ana
had made no enemies. that he would
get a much larger vote of the business
men of the city than Hughes would get,
and would be equally acceptable to the
law and order people There is not the
slightest question of Bergundthals
stand on the prohibition question.
IN spite OF all the arguments. the
seven loyal Hughes men voted for
Hughes and the seven loyal Bergund
thai men voted for Bergundtha1. and the
deciding vote was cast for Mr.. Ber-
Bundthal by J. w Robinson.
ABOUT MIR. BERGUNDTHAL.
Mr.. Bergundthal goes into the con-
test unhampered by promises and with
a splendid record in the city council
to warrant his claim for Republican
support. He says: If I can't use my
own judgment about how to conduct
the office Of mayor of Topeka do not
want the place.
Mr.. Bergundthal has served two
years in the council, and the best in
dex to his popularity is the fact that
he defeated Representative J. b Belts,
one of the best men in the ward, at
the primaries for the nomination. One
of the things which he did while a
member of the council which demon
strated his sincere interest in the city's
welfare was the manner in which he
handled the Santa Fe shop land deals.
The council intrusted to him personal
~ the work of buying $4,000 worth of
land from many different owners and
selling off the Improvements on that
land to the highest bidders. In this
work Mr.. Bergundthal was obliged to
assume nearly all of the responsibility
for the work, and his accounts when
the last deal was closed showed him to
be one of the most careful and cOnsci-
enuous business men in the city.
That is the kind Of a man Topeka
needs in the position of mayor at this
time, for the city finances are in bad
shape.
Mr.. Bergundthal has lived in Topeka
for eighteen years. For sixteen years
he was chief clerk for the Jonathan
Thomas Lumber company Two years
ago he went into the real estate bust
ness, and now has one of the most sue
cessful offices in the city. He is A
years of age, and has two children,
boy 20 and a girl of Is. He lives at
1874 North Jackson street, which has
been his home continuously for sixteen
wears

RAP At OSTEOPATHS.
Mr.. Waggener Loses His Fight for
Them.

The doctors and lawyers had round
up in the house Monday afternoon. 1t
was when Bale Waggener and Adams
of Sedgwick started fight to relieve
the osteopaths of the provisions of the
state medical law.
A bill was up to allow the secretary
of the state medical board to grant tenn
pOrary certificates to graduates of ac-
credited medical or OsteOpathic schools,
who should come into the state between
the quarterly meetings of the board.
Mr.. Waggener moved an amendment
to except OsteOpaths from the workings
of the state medical law altogether. He
said there wasn't an Osteopath on the
state medical board, vet the law pre-
scribed that applicants shall be examin
ed by those members who belong to the
same school of medicine as the appli-
cants. He also pointed out that physi-
clans who had practiCed for seven years
in the state were entitled to a license
without passing an examina ton, while
Osteopaths could get no license under
such circumstances, no matter how long
they had Dracticed.
Il know of one Atchison osteOpath, -
said Mr. Waggener. who not only had
his application turned down, but the
board refused to return the SIS he had
advanced for his fee"
"The trouble with that man." retorted
DR.. Lewis, is that he never showed up
for examination although he was writ
ten to time and again.
Waggener's amendment was voted
down, and he then proposed one to give
the OSteOpaths licenses without eXamin-
alton if they had practiced five years in
the state. DR.. Lewis said he would have
no objection to it if the time were made
seven years. the same as the require
ment for physicians, but he kicked on
five years, and the amendment was lost.
Then Waggener moved a seven year
provision. but that, too. was defeated
On top of it all. DR.. O,Donnen moved to
strike osteopaths from the title of the
thereby removing the provisions to give
osteOpaths even temporary certificates.
The debate was participated in by
Waggener and Adams of Sedgwick for
the lawyers and Lewis. O'Donneu and
HutchesOn for the doctors.
Belts of Shawnee moved a reconsider
alton and the motion went over until
Wednesday afternoon for considera ton.

MTST BE ANITALIAN.
Nc Hope for Any Other Nationality
in Papal Succession

New York March 3.-Much uneasiness
is caused among English Roman CathO-
lies by the reports from Rome of the
increasing feebleness of the pope, says
the Tribune'S London correspondent
The vatican keeps its secrets more close
ly than any foreign Office in Europe and
Cardinal RampOlla is not likely to create
alarm by premature disclosures. The
influential Roman Catholics here are re-
mem bering the pope's advanced age and
are not treasured by the press dis
patches giving an account of the con-
sistOry or by statements of his physical
conduct. They know that there must
be limitations to his extraordinary vi
tality Cardinal Vaughan is expected
to exert so much influence as Car
dinal Manning did in his time
in determining the succession and
he is reported to be convinced that the
relations between the vatican and the
quirinal require an Italian pope and that
no foreign cardinal can adequately rep
resent the claims of the papacy to tenn
poral sovereignty.
Rome is in a state of strained ex-
pectancy, as the widest rumors are in
the air says dispatch to the Tribune
from that city. 1t is said that the cere-
mony today cannot possibly take place
as the Dontiff is in the last stages Of
exhaustion.
When his holiness received the gift
of new sedia gestatoria, he said
smiling:
1T IS likely to carry my successor
oftener than me. I hope for the bearers
sake he will be as light as 1 am"

new TAX BILL.
Bale Waggener Introduces a
Substitute Measure.

Bale Waggener today introduced a
new tax bill which he will urge as
substitute for the one which Is now
pending before the house He had it
advanced to general orders and set for
consideration along with the other Dill.
The new bill provides for state tax
commission composed of the state audi
tor and two commissioners to be APP
pointed by the governor on September
3d. 1903, for terms of four years. This
commission has general supervision Of
taxation matters. but no provision is
made for township or county assessors
other than now exist. The commission
is given power to examine witnesses I'M
der oath and to go into the books and
business of any corporation and compel
every body to show up their property
The bill also provides for a penalty
of a fine of from 800 to 81, 600 or i'm
prisOnment from six months to year
for assessors who violate in any way the
provisions of the law
Morton Albauoh thinks it would be
great mistake not to pass a tax bill
Il think the legislature should by al
means pass a tax bin, Mr.. Aibaugh
said today, and further than that i
think it should be as near like the bill
as originally introduced as possible In
the main that was good bill
Governor Bailey still insists that a tax
bill should be passed, and he told der
egation of representatives so when they
called on him this morning.
L want to see a tax bill passed. the
governor said today shortly before he
was driven home by the grip. i have
told the fellows so when they have come
to see me, but some people Overestmate
my Influence with this legislature about
400 per cent. am not a member of the
legislature, so I have no vote in the
natter but 1 am telling the members
that tax bill OF some kind ought to be
