MUST WORK 1T OUT.
st. Louis Bogus Lord Is Fined
$500.

st. Louis, Feb. 4-The self-styled
Colonel F. Seymour Darlington of Lon
don, S w, and His Majesty's Horse
Guards" who married Miss Wilhelmina
Grace Cochrane of Kansas City, Kas-, Il
week ago, after a courtship of but three
weeks, at the home of her sister. Mrs
R r Elliott of 1855 West Belle Place,
was fined $500 by Judge Tracy in the
police court Tuesday. The charge was
disturbing the peace" of James z i.
Cochrane, his brother-in-law. The
colonel has no money, and must go
to the Workhouse It will require one
years labor on the rock pile to liqui-
date his fine.
The charge and his hasty trial and
sneedv conclusion of the court shocked
was dressed with scrupulous care. His
clothes which are of a very ordinary
texture, seem to have been selected with
a view of being as fOppiSh as possible
He prizes them highly. His oVercoat,
which he carried with him from his cell
was purchased at a Broadway clothing
house. 1t is of the SO variety All his
clothes are very new His hat is one

mock diamond adOrns a blue tie. which
the colonel never gets tired of adj
justing. On the ring finger of the lefg
hand a circlet. with initials. is worn
He is proud of it, too, and always holds
it so IT can be seen
The charge against harrington grew
out Of his fight with Cochrane. At the
conclusion of the evidence, Judge Tracy
said, addressing harrington:
Under ordinary circumstances it is
not regarded the province of a police
magistrate TO say much when passing
sentence on persons brought before him.
This, however is an unusual case. It is
certainly q sad commentary on our
times and customs that educated, cul-
tured American girls fail so easy a prey
to the wiles and tinkling cymbals OF
foreign titles.
and Cochrane are charged with conduct
tending to produce a breach Of the
peace.

lord had won his sister by playing the

national capitol reserved for the statues
of makers of national history. and it is
in one OF these that Mr.. Waggener
wants either a marble or bronze bust
of ingalls, placed.
The resolution which he proposes is as
follows:
Whereas. In the rotunda of the ma
tional capitol at Washington, is reserved
a niche for the bust of one or more OIL
the citizens of Kansas, who have con-
tributed to her honor and glory of the
state, and.
whereas. It is the desire of all our
people to perpetuate the memory and
fame of John James ingalls,, who at the
birth of the state conceived and gave
us the significant motto, Ad Astra Per
Aspera,' and who, upon every page OF
Kansas history. has left the impress of
his genius and learning; therefore,
be it
tiVes, the senate cOncurrIng, that tie
bust of John James Ingalls, be placed IN
the rotunda of the capitol at Washing
ton, and that our senators and repre-
sentatives in congress be requested to
take such steps as may be necessary to
have his bust, in bronze or marble,
placed in one of the inches reserved for
the state of Kansas
The question of who has been the
most distinguished Kansan" has been
one which has always created dissen-
sion, and whenever the subject of plac-
ing somebody's statue in one of those
Washington inches is preached it nearly
always starts a row. Waggener's reso-
luton win probably do so at this time.
While many people admired Ingalls,
brilliancy they did not like him as a
man.
The respective friends of Charles Rob
inson and James H. Lane have always
been at swords points over this niche
proposition. They were the leaders of
the opposing factions in Kansas in the
early days and each had warm friends
and violent enemies. Although Lane
committed suicide upwards of forty
years ago, and Governor Robinson has
been dead for several years. the war IS
still kept up between their surviving
partisans Whenever Governor Robin
sons friends have proposed that his
bust be placed in Washington as the
first governor of the state and one OF
the leaders among the brilliant men who
founded the state, the partisans of Lane
have Immediately started a fight on the
proposition Whenever Lanes friends
have insisted that his bust be placed IN
the Washington niche because he was,
up to the time of his tragic death the
most powerful influence in Kansas, the
Robinson men have started row
Meanwhile new generation has come
on in Kansas and there have been sever
al turns to the political wheel ingalls,
and Plumb both served their state for
years in the United States senate and
they. too, have passed away. but they
have left admirers who believe that
each of them is entitled to the Washing
ton niche

AFrER THR BARvEsTER TRusT
Legislature Gives Committee Addi-
tional Investigating Powers.

The harvester trust investigation has
been given another start and the house
today on a reconsideration passed the
senate resolution giving the investiga-
ton committee additional powers.
Representative Hill, a member of the
investigation committee, started it by
saying some members had voted
against the resolution by a misappre-
hension, and he moved a reconsidera-
ton It developed that Hill had not
voted with the prevailing side and
johnson of Decatur, a fusion member
called him down
Then Hugos tried to move a recon
sideration and Johnson called him
down, too. kirkpatrick said he had
voted with the prevailing side and
would move the reconsideration, but
by that time it was discov cred that the
resolution had already been messaged
back to the senate and was out Of the
hands of the house.
Then a motion was passed recalling
the resolution from the house, and it
was called up for reconsideration today
and adopted without dissenting vote
1t gives Che investigating committee
power to find out just how the trust is
doing business in Kansas. and requires
it to report within five days in order
that legislation may be PASSED at this
session if it is deemed necessary.

OVER ooBURN's REPORTS.
House and Senate at Loggerheads on
Postage Bill.

The senate and house are already at
loggerheads. It is over the appropria-
ton for sending out Secretary Coburn's
biennial report. The senate bill called
for an appropriation of $4,000. 1t would
require this amount for the entire edi-
ton if sent out by express or mail to
individual parties who ask for them,
but the house ways and means commit
tee cut the amount down to $4,000, and it
suggested that the books be shipped by
freight to the county clerks and dis
tributed by them.
The bill in this shape passed the
house. and the senate sent it back to-
day without concurring Then the
house. on motion Of Chairman Francis
of the ways and means committee, re-
solved that it wouldn't recede from its
position, and a conference committee
was asked for.
Evans, Speer and Beeson were ap-
pointed as the house members of the
conference committee.

WHIPPED BUcKLIN OUT.
Too Many "Farmers" Oppose His
Thresher's Lien Bill

The house today killed Bucklin's
thresher's lien bill, but Bucl0lin gave his
opponents a run for their money, con-
sidering that he is on the minority side.
The bill was to give threshers a lien on
the grain they threshed until they are
paid for their work, if they believe they
will not otherwise be paid
1t aroused the opposition of jerks of
Franklin, Nation OF Neosho and Stavely
of Usage, all lawyers. who insisted that
it would work a hardship on the farm
ers. Bucklin replied, polxing fun at the
farmers" who were taking such an IN
terest in his measure. He contended
that it would work no hardship on the
honest farmers, and said the honest ones
had to Indirectly pay the bills of the
dishonest ones in increased rates fOA
threshing.
Enright, a lawyer, joined Bucklin in
defending the BILL but Stubs. Kramer
and Linton, who announced themselves
as farmers, opposed it, and it was finally
killed.
