Big Guns Involved

AS stated above there are a number
OF complicated points in the fight
which many persons are unable to un-
derstand. and II Is said that a number
of men higher uD in political circles
than those mentioned took an active
part in the matter. One Of the peculiar
thing is that. although Mr.. Chandler
has always been looked upon as a
Union Republican. Horace G. Knowles,
who is one of Addicks bitterest en-
emies in this city, brought him out for
the Office and succeeded in having him
elected. Mr. Hopkins. one OF the
strongest Regular members of the
court. supported Mr. Chandler for
president at the first meeting he at
tended How this was brought about
is another matter which has nos been
Given to the public.
The Quigley-Bach combine was back
of Mr.. Willis. and against the pew
president, although they are both rec
ognized as Addicks men.
The discussion over the Globe Print
ing COmpany's bill for the printing OF
the ballots brought out another side,
which, in the light of what has hap
pcned since. makes the matter all the
more complicated. Mr.. Chandler. who
had previously fought so hard against
the Silver Run dirt bill the Arrow
smith bill and the Seventh street bridge
bill. on the grounds that they were ex-
cessiye. was the only champion of the
ballot bill in the court Mr.. Willis
lead the fight against this bill, not
withstanding the fact that Mr.. Quigley
was interested in the matter, to the ex-
tent that, as clerk Of the peace. he
gave the contract for the printing OF
the ballots, and naturally wanted to see

room when, after the caucus of the
Republican members. Mr.. Chandler
was unanimously elected president
On the other hand. 1t is said that the
election Of Mr. Chandler was no sur
prise to a few Of his friends who were
on the inside. as the whole matter had
been arranged several weeks previous
and carried out Just as pre-arranged.
1t seems that the clerk of the peace was
taken completely on his guard. and did
not expect the move that was made.
Tho reports which were current on
the streets for several days previous to
the election. to the effect that Mr.
Chandler and his friends would COM

Hopkins, it is said, practically forced

caucus, and as they were in the major
ity Mr. Chandler was selected. This
accounts for the smooth manner in
which the affair was conducted in open
court, as the two had to abide by the
caucus.

CANNOT CONTROL.
Law Having Been Changed by Over

Topeka. Kans.. April 2O.-SeVeral of the
defeated candidates in third class city
elections last week have attempted to
contest the election of their opponents.
but an inquiry revealed the fact that they
have no standing in court. Under the
provisions OF the law governing elections
in cities of the third class no contests
are permitted. The election board can
adjust all differences between candidates,
and the decision of the board is final in
such cases. The law governing elections
in such cities was amended last winter
and the legislature omitted the section
providing for the settlement of contests.

AN INTERESTING SPEECH.
Senator Cumont Smith Talked on
"Words" at Unitarian Church.

Those who attended the lecture given
Sunday night by Senator Dumont Smith.
at the Unitarian church, were afforded an
unusual intellectual treat. Senator Smiths
subject was Words. and the speaker
had the close attention of very select
audience throughout his discourse. After
showing, in a charming manner, the
growth of language from the earliest
history of the Argan race, through centu-
ries of evolution to the English Ian
guage. as spoken at the present time,
the speaker dwelt upon the Importance
of precision of speech and the necessity
of instilling the habit of correct language
in the education of our youth. We ac-
knowledge the gracious compliment paid
the columns of the Eagle, that of all cur
rent dailies, the Eagle maintained the
highest standard of pure English. The
lecture abounded in mastery research.
and it is sincerely hoped that Wichita
may have another opportunity of enjoy
ing Senator Smiths scholarly attain
mentS.

ARR TWO INDICTMENTS

Topeka, Kans., April 20.-One of the
most interesting cases TO be brought Up
during the term of the United States Dis
trict court, beginning yesterday is the
case against William Martindale, vice
president OF the Emporia National bank,
at the time OF its failure in November.
be heard before Judge Phillips of Kansas
City. Mo. This is the first trial of The
Martindale case as a criminal case.
There are two indictments against Mr..
Martindale. The first indictment is for
the abstraction and misapplication of the
money, funds and credits of the First Ma
tional bank of Emporia. In the second
he is jointly indicted with D. NJ. Davis.
cashier of the bank. charging both with
enlightenment. abstraction and misappli-
cation OF the funds and making false en-
tries in the books of the bank.
1t is the purpose of the United tSates
district attorney, J. S. Dean. to CONSOLE
date these two indictments and try them
together so far. as Martindale is con-
cerned. When asked if any trace Of
DAVIS ldu DSeD IOunQ EQWdTQ Z MONEY
government national bank examiner, VINO
is here preparing the case, said that all
the answer ne could give to that ques-
ton was that Davis was fugitive FROM
justice. He added that it would be unfair
TO the government officials to say any
thing more about Davis.
One of the indictments against Martin
dale is TO the effect that he paid and
caused to be paid his checks drawn upon
the bank at a time when he had no money
or funds or credits in the bank, against
which he had right to drawf and at a
time when his account with the bank was
overdrawn many hundreds OF dollars.
and that there were then no credits what
ever due to Martindale, as Martinlale
then well knew This being true Martin
dale was using money not his own.
