KANSAS DOODLE SCANDAL.
Padded Pay Roll Found by Auditor
Causes Governor to Consider
Calling Grand Jury.

Topeka, Kas., Nov. 16.-Kansas is
face to face with a legislative Doodle
scandal, and the governor is consider
ing calling a grand jury to probe into
the state of affairs at the Kansas cap
ital. The auditor is going over the
vouchers Of the Legislatures employees
and has turned up a padded pay roll.
Sidney Brakeman, a house employe,
who worked the last ten days of a
90-day session as an assistant serge
ant-at-arms, was paid for only ten
days. Someone else collected on a
forged voucher the other 80 days
salary.
w. S. Harris, a Kansas City (Kas.)
politician, was on the pay roll as jan
itor and received pay for all the term
except $14, which the Kansas City
(Kas.) representative kept out to pay
the clerk for putting Harris name on
the pay roll. Harris said:
81 did not go to Topeka and did
no work for the legislature, though a
check was issued to me l did not
ever know what position l held in the
legislative appointments and would
have gone to Topeka and earned the
money which | later drew from the
state If | had been notified to do So"

NOT CREDITED
At WASHINGTON
No knowledge Of a Colombian
army Marching On Panama.
WOULD KNOW IT IF 1T WERE so
IrsurmOuntabIe Obstacles to the
Advance of an Army by Land
and LikelS to BE Some by
the water Route.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The state de-
partment has no knowledge of the
marching = an army of Colombia upon
the isthmus, and the officials state that
were any such movement in progress,
it would certainly be informed by its
agents in the south, the cables being
still open. The officials scout the idea
that any such march is in progress, as
the president of Colombia is said to
have described to the ~presidentof Ecua-
dor.
The "Army' Not Formidable.
1t is assumed here that the army"
said to be marching on Panama was
nothing more than the few men, per-
haps 500 all told, who were about to
embark at Buena Ventura, a few days
ago, when they were turned back from
the isthInus by notice of the determine
ton of the United States naval COM
manders to allow no landings in that
quarter. These troops a not reach
the isthmus by water, and the officials
here are positive that they can not do
so by land. The character of the coun-
try is such that there is no subsistence
for an army on the route of the wild
mountain trails, and the passages
through the morasses that lie between
Colombia proper and the isthmus. Even
if there were subsistence, the trails are
so rough that it would require many
weeks or even months for even a small
army to make the journey.
Obstacles In the Way.
But there are more than physical OBJ
stacles in the way of the approach Of
an army upon Panama. The officials
do not care to express publicly their
plans, but enough has been CLEANED
from the instructions given to our ma
val commanders to make it evident
that never again will the isthmus be-
come the seat of warfare SO long as the
United States government can prevent
it. The difference between the present
situation on the isthmus and that
which existed last year when Comman-
der Mclean prevented armed troops
from crossing the isthmus by rail is
just this:
Protection % the Railroad.
The authorities have now determined
to extend the lines of protection to the
railroad. They will not allow hostile
forces, no matter whether they are Co.
lombian or Panama troops, to come in
to collision anywhere near the railroad,
and to prevent such collisions it will
be necessary to extend the neutral zone
clear to the north and south boundaries
of the Republic of Panama.
wait Till We Come to the Bridge.
Officials here will not make such a
statement publicly; they simply say:
"Wait till the emergency arises" But
it is known that such were the plans OF
the naval commanders, and as there Is
70 indication of a change in these
plans, not the slightest apprehension Is
felt here of the encroachment of any
Colombian army upon Panama.

ON THE CHARGE OF BRIBERY
Indicted For Furnishing Money to
Buy Votes in the legislature.
Price Stone, Cole COunty's P~rOsecut-
ing Attorney, Said to Have Ac-
cepted Money Not to Prosecute.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 16.-An in
dictment charging bribery was re-
turned against William Ziegler, head
of the Royal Baking Powder trust, in
court with the final report of the grand
jury Saturday afternoon. The indict-
ment alleges bribery in connection
with the alum legislation in the Mis-
souri, Legislature in 1901.
The indictment against Mr.. Ziegler
alleges bribery in two counts. 1t states
that he was instrumental in securing
the vote of certain state senators on
the alum repeal bill in 1901, for which
legislation Agent D. ]. Kelley, of New
York, was indicted on three separate
counts. 1t is believed that Ziegler is
indicted in the Farris, Smith and Mat
thews cases.
In addition to the Ziegler indict.
ment, a true bill was found against
F. E. Luckett, of this city. The in
dictment charges Mr.. Luckett with at
tempting to influence certain members
of the special venire in the Farris case
to decide in favor of an acquittal or
hang the jury,
The indictment does not charge that
Mr.. Luckett used any money in at
tempting to influence the jury, but as
serts that he importuned Peter Ellis
and M. M. Daugherty to remember him
when it came to making up their de-
cision in the case.
Mr.. Luckett is a former prosecuting
attorney of Cole county, and was an
attorney selected by Senator Frank
Farris to assist in the defense. He
did not take an active part in the trial
In the courtroom.
Four indictments were returned
against Prosecuting Attorney r. P,
Stone of Cole county, charging him
with accepting a bride of $500 from
Charles Glenn and Peter Ellis to not
prosecute the case against Peter Ellis,
of this city. Two counts against the
prosecuting attorney charge him with
accepting illegal fees and n charges
him with riding on a railroad pass.
Following the indictment of Prose
cutting Attorney Stone, Judge HAZEL
suspended him from office and appoint
ed Frank M. Brown to fill the office
until the case against Mr.. Stone has
been tried. The cases are set down
for trial on December 3.

FROM COLOMBIAN SOURCE.
Colombia Will Not Submit to 18th
milan Independence.

New York, Nov. 15.-Cabling from
Panama, the correspondent OF the
Herald says direct communication has
been re-established with Bogota, capt.
tai of Colombia. He forwards the fol-
lowing dispatch sent from that city I'M
der date of November 10:
Acting President Jorge Holguin
said to-day that Colombia never will
recognize the independence OF Panama.
MY government will exhaust its last
drop of blood and it's last cent in put
ting down the rebellion" he said. Il
wish to make the announcement to the
world that we will not submit to 18TH
milan independence
Gen. Rafael Reyes, who has been ap-
pointed generalissimO-in-chief of Co.
lcmbia's fighting forces, and who has
left for the coast, has a large and well
equipped army. He announced that he
had left behind a force of 100 900 men
ready for any emergency?
All departments and parties have
promised unconditional support and
financial aid to the government. The
people are furious over the revolution.
1t is asserted in Bogota that the
isthmian move is not unanimous. The
government declares that it has assur-
ances from the interior provinces Of
Panama that they are not in sympathy
with the rebellion and a be relied up
or. to assist in putting down the re-
bellion.
The Colombian government and tho
people are satisfied that patriotic senti-
ments will prevail and before long "the
isthmus will realize the error of its
course and will return to the mother
country before Colombian blood shall
flow in torrents.
