Missouri Bribery Cases.

Missouri is somewhat wrought up
over the discovery that there was a
systematic effort at bribery during
the session of the legislature. The
fight came up between the manu-
facturers of baking powder. 1t
seems that two years ago law was
passed prohibiting the sale in the
state of baking powder containing
alum. During the last session a
bill was n reduced to repeal
the anti.alum law. 1t seems the
baking powder companies were
somewhat lavish in the use of money
and provided themselves with a
goodly supply of $1,000 bills and
proceeded to distribute them among
the state senator's where they thought
they would do the most good. One
senator displayed seven of these
bills at one time,
The grand jury has taken the
r her up and the senator's are
ing asked where they got the $1,000
bills. Already seven indictments
have been returned four of the par
ties being state senators. 1t begins
to look like spirit of reform has
struck poor old Missouri and that
she is waking up to the real condi'
ton of affairs. Missouri statesmen
come pretty high when it takes a
thousand dollar bill per capita to
make them see things right.

could, run lot of our persona

great deal of money passes through
his hands each year without any
real check upon it. Suppose that
some time the city chanced to get
in a clerk who wished to speculate
a little, how easy matter 1t would
be to manipulate affairs to his own
profit. We believe an auditor should
be provided for.

US SEE

Chanute is becoming somewhat
of business concern. The mayor
and council have the affairs of a
prosperous, growing city to look
after. The city owns the water
works. If it were owned by COM
pany or private individual, there
would be superintendent at a sal
ary of of say $I2oo, besides the
usual employees. The city also owns
the gas plant. If this were owned
by separate concern it would re-
quire at least one good salaried
man at the head, say $T2oo for him.
Soon we will own an electric light
plant requiring another good salary
of S1aoo. The city employs clerk
who is supposed to look after all OF
these utilities, under the supervision
and orders of the mayor and coun-
Gil. The work is getting to be
enormous and still the mayor ana
council are expected to do 1t, year
after year, without any compensa-
ton whatever. This is entirely
wrong. Our mayor and council
men are generally business men who
have business of their own that re-
quires all.their time,yet are asked TO
assume all these responsibilities and
do all this work for the public, TO
the detriment of their own affairs,
without compensation.
This is all wrong and the people
do not ask it of them. They should
be paid a small sum for their work,
not salary but slight compensa-
ton for their time There is scarce
ly week that we do not have
council meeting and frequently tour
or five in one week, to say nothing
about the committee work ana the
running necessary to see about this
and that. We would suggest that
an ordinance be passed allowing
each member of the council $500
per wear and the mayor 5000. 1t
might look little gally on Its face
but such a move is right and the
people will not object.
Business men do not want their
associates to do so much gratis WORK
for the public. Besides if these
councilmen then got little care
less about some matters, the papers
of the town would not feel anyways
modest about calling their attention
to the little shortcomings, and any
citizen who had a grievance would
feel at liberty if they did not come
up to his expectations at all times.
While we are on this subject we
also wish to suggest that this city
needs another officer very badly
We need an auditor whose duty
it should be to carefully check all
accounts and bills before they are
payable and keep careful tab on
all receipts and expenditures. Our
city clerk is the general fiscal agent
of the finances of the city and a

Seth Wells in his paper, the Re-

makes a few remarks. Seth states
that he wants It distinctly under

His statement that Burton has prac-

true. From being at one time the

has no following.

YALEBANK DIRECTORS MEETING
No Further Shortage Diseovered-Fun
 eraI of MT. Bushnell.

No Further Shortage Diseovered-Fun-
 eraI of Mir. Bushnell.
 The meeting Of the directors of the Yale National bank was held yesterday morning, but at its conclusion it was stated that there was nothing of much importance to be given out beside that which was already public, with the pos sihle exception that the exact amount of shortage had now been found to be s1s,- o34.
 The accounts in correspondent banks in New York. Boston and Philadelphia have all been checked I'D and they have been found to be intact. This in formation confirms previous statements to tine eceet that all of the shortage was in the local bank. Hence the bond of S2O,OoO is ample to cover all of the deficit caused by the desalcations.
 The funeral services over the remains of the late Mir. Bushnell were held last evening 9. the residence, 1919 Chapel street. and were quite largely attended. The 2allbearers were Eli Mix, Samuel Reed. B. D. Hubbard. Peter Bowman, Dwight Blakeslee, and Judge James Bishop. The remains will be taken to Clinton, Conn.,, this morning where the burial will take place.

 Constable F. ,. Flynn susd-Yals
 News to Fight Suit instituted by At-
 aorney Carl 4. msarS.
 Through Attorney Bernard S. Lynch, Attorney Blum, of Boston, yesterday brought suit against Edward s. YOe- mans and William T. Dill, the New Haven brokers, for SSO,o0O. Bank de- posits in various New Haven institu- tions were attached by Deputy Sheriff Higgins. J. Birney Futile, acting for the defendants, has arranged that a bond be given and the attachments re- moved.
 The suit arose out of stock dealings in which the local company transacted the business for Blum. The plaintiff claims that he understood and believed the defendants to be principals in the deals, and as such he sues them. The defendants claim to be only agents and say that Bucklin & Co.,, of Boston, who recently failed, are the principals. At- l terney Lynch holds that the local con- cern is responsible, and it is probable that the point will be made the basis of l big legal battle.
 J. Birney Futile has this to say about I his clients:
 "They assume no liability and are | merely agents for the transmission of orders.
 My clients are doing everything in ! their power to protect the interest Of the New Haven customers. It is man. ifest that no broker could do business on commission of one-eighth of one per cent. and be liable for the entire 1 sum involved in the transaction"
