United States circuit court saying that
he forwarded his resignation to Presi-
dent Roosevelt on June >. to take effect
on June 4. The letter was written at
Wagon Wheel Gap. Col, where the
judge is spending the summer with his
family.
There hav been runors of Judge Cald-
Wells retirement Tor some time. Judge
Caldwell is y years old and his friends
expected him to resign in October but
Judge Caldwell held on in order to take
advantage Of the provisions of law
then pending to increase the pay of re-
tired judges. The bill has since become
a law and he will receive S6. 500 a year.
1t is understood that Judge w. c. Hook
of the United States district court Will
succeed Judge Caldwell
Judge Caldwell was appointed to the
United States district court of Arkansas
the place twenty-siX years. He was
made circuit judge by President Har-
rison. The Eighth circuit includes Iowa,
Missouri Kansas Arkansas Oklahoma
Colorado New Mexico Utah, Wyoming
and Indian Territory.
Judge Caldwell was mentioned as
candidate for vice president on the Rrv-
an ticket at the last election. In an ad-
dress before the Missouri Bar associa-
tiOn at St. Louis. Judge Caldwell took
an advanced position in opposition to
government by induction, and object
ed to it as a direct assault upon the most
sacred right of the people, the right of
trial by judge and jury. AS federal
judges have been particularly prone to
yield to the temptation 10 govern by in
junction, Judge Caldwells position was
considered remarka bic.
A typical story about Judge Caldwell
which was brought out by the gossip
concerning his possible nomination for
the vice presidency. tells OF a case in
which an attorney for an insurance
company was attempting to evade pay
ment of insurance on some technical
ground. The suit was brought by the
Insured AS the attorney was proceed
ing with is argument Judge Caldwell
interrupted him.

the attorney. The policy was issued p

And the premiums were paid?"
Yes -
And the house was burned?"
YES %
And it was not set on hre2"
No replied the attorney.
Well" said Judge Caldwell to the
attorney you can sit down. The jury

tiff
Judge Caldwell was horn in Marshall

mitted to the bar in 1852 and was pros

WATER ON THE BRIDGE
North Side Main Completed but
Break Isn't Repaired.

A 6-inch water main has been laid
across the Melan bridge. and as soon as
the break in the pipe near the pumping
station can be repaired. there viii be
water for North Topeka, and the clean
ing un process will be easier.
A big gang of men-as many as the
water company can employ, is at work
repairing the broken pipe near the
pumping station. At the point where
the break occurred. the pipes have been
washed out By the river, and have sag
ged. thus causing the break to occur.
The pipes are buried iu four feet Of
sand and have to be dug out. the sand
cleaned out and relaid
This work is progressing as rapidly
as possible. said Manager j. w. O'Neil
of the water company. We would hire
more men if We could get them We
have to- dig out the old pipes because we
have 200 surplus pipe Of size large
enough
Another gang of our men is working
ON the main across the Meian bridge.
This is merely temporary main. l
should think that the council would
want us to put our main ON the bridge,
under the pavement It would not in-
jure the bridge in the least and would
insure permanent water supply for
North Topeka. If The company had Tot
suggested that this be done I venture to
SAY the council would have forced us
to do it before this.

POLITICS ON BENCH.
Denounced by Justice Brewer
in Address at st. Louis.

st. Louis, June 6.-Justice David j.
Brewer, Of the United States supreme
court, addressed the Missouri Bar as
sociation today on THE Triumphs of
Justice" Justice Brewer first noticed
the fact that humanity was ever look
ing for a better day; that in the begin
ming might ruled all and man. in this
respect, was similar to the brute. He
traced the development of the conflict
between might and right and showed
how in the processes Of time the strug-
gle for right led to the Introduction Of
the judge into history He referred to
the clamor against injunctions and
pointed out how in harmony with all
other sciences. the preventive power
was more important than the curing or
punisning He appealed for higher
ideals on the part of the bar and the
bench. denounced politics in the bench
and demanded permanent tenure of
office

WATER IN BANKS.
In This Case 1t Wasn't Watered
Stock, Either.

Reports at the bank commissioners
Office develop the fact that not less than
a dozen banks in the state were partial
ly or entirely inundated during the re-
cent floods. The Citizens State bank
and the Shawnee State bank of North
Topeka and the Armourdale State Bank
of Commerce of Kansas City. were en-
tirely under water. Their vaults were
not water tight and the books and rec
ords We're completely saturated. The
officials maintain though that the con-
dition of the banks and each customers
account can be easily told, despite the
fact that these records were in water
for number of days
The Kansas State bank and the Horne
State bank. of Kansas City. Kan. the
First State Bank of Argentine, the Bark
of Perry, and the Farmers ana
DroVers' bank of Council Grove were
partially under water, but the records of
none of them were materially damag ged.
At Hutchinson and a number of other
towns, there was water TO the depth of
from one to three feet in a number OF
banks, but no material damage waa
done.

MAY USE THE BRIDGE.
Talk of Allowing the Street
Railway This Privilege.

Definite propositions were made by the
City Railway company Saturday night to
the city council for the right to use the
Melan bridge for two years for a street
car track to North Topeka An ordinance
was introduced comforting this right but
was postponed for final consideration until
the council meeting called for this even
ing.
In consideration of the right given to
run over the bridge the company agrees
to rebuild the south approach. which VIII
probably cost several hundred dollars and
also construct a pile bridge where the
north approach Of the bridge used to
stand. The pile bridge will probably cost
several thousand dollars. It will be built
wide enough and strong enough to carry
the wagon and pedestrian traffic as well
as the street car bridge. Most of the tim
bers from the old street car bridge can be
used in this structure
city Engineer McCabe was sick Satur-
day and unable to attend the special coun-
Gil meeting. and the council withheld ac-
tion pending his opinion.
There is some question as to whether
the city council has the right to author
ize the company to build the bridge.
The county commissioners claim this right
exclusively and the commissioners have
been invited to meet with the city coun-
Gil TINS evening and try 10 agree to what
ever the council decides to do.
Mayor Bergundthal and Councilmen
lNutz and Blossom of North Topeka are all
in favor of the proposed ordinance grant
ing a temporary right of way across The
bridge and so far there seems to be nc
very determined 0npositf0n To the nlsn
Unless such an arrangement is made it
may be yea or two before any street
cars are run in North Topeka.
The OF 7inance IS made up Of six sections
The substance of these is as follows
Section / grants the Topeka Railway
company. with all its appliances. the righi
TO operate its cars over the Melan bridge
Section ? provides that the company
shall at its own expense. rebuild tbs
south approach and pile structure over the
place where the north approach stood.
Section 8 provides that the right shall he
conferred only temporarily and shall mol
be continued for a longer period than two
years.
Section provides that all the work @.
construction shall be under the direction
of the city engineer and shall be com
menced Immediately after its passage.
Sections and provide for the accept
ance and publication of the ordinance

less have been put to work at the enor-
nous task of cleaning up North To-
peka. a few refuse to 60 back to work.
They are satisfied With living on the
charity of the relief committee, But

charge of the relief funds and when
it has been learned that they refuse op-
poitunities to go TO work they VIII be

Tt is one ,ne disgusting features of he
lal3r Of caring for the sufferers and it
has been determined that the only way to
protect the town from these parasites will
be TO refuse them aid. The citizens of To
peka have been thoroughly warned against
giving aid to persons representing them
selves to have been driven from North To
peka by the flood and the drones will find
aid from that source hard to obtain.
