GRAND JURY AT WORK.
Bringing Out Evidence Against
Wyandotte County Boodlers.

Kansas City, Kan, Dec. 12-The
Wyandotte county grand jury is still
probing into alleged irregularities"
in paving contracts awarded by the
council, and it is said that a web of
convict1ng evidence is being securely
wound around several ex-councilrnen
IT is believed that so far the most
valuable witness examined is T. H
Moore, a contractor who did consider
able paving and who was before the
grand jury the second time yesterday
1t is also stated that W. W. Atkins,
Moore's partner, and W. N Woodward
a promoter who were also called, are
developing into valuable witnesses.
When Moore was examined Thurs
day he, it is understood, talked very
little, but yesterday he unbosomed
himself more freely, and during forty
i've minutes disclosed information
which 1t is believed will lead to more
than one Indictment. Moore, it is said,
admitted that he paid both for the
privilege of getting the work and for
having his bills accepted when pre-
scented.
W. N. Woodward. a promoter and
contractor, will also be recalled. Mr..
Woodward is said to have talked free
ly also. Woodward is the man who
filed an affidavit with a notary public
to the effect that a member of the city
council tried to hold him up for ST. 600
to assure the acceptance of the engi-
neer's estimates on paving Packard
street.
Eight witnesses testified, including
the three who were recalled from the
day before. The jury was excused at
$3.50 o'clock until Monday. Attorney
General Coleman left for Topeka i'm
mediately after adjournment.
T. ]. Barker, Jr., a bookkeeper at
the Wyandotte State bank, and resi-
dent of the Third ward, where most of
the paving was done, was called. Bar
ker was questioned for thirty min
utes.
After the examination of T. J. Bar
ker, the jury was excused for dinner.
The afternoon session began with Ed
ward ]. Barker, a lawyer, and one of
the wealthy men Of the city. He was
also retained about a half hour.
William T. Fletcher a contractor and
promoter, was called next. Fletcher
bad been subpoenaed for Thursday and
had remained in the hall on the out
side constantly after the examination
began. Fletcher, it is said, stated that
he bought member of the administra-
ton a suit of clothes after having been
granted a contract for a brand of brick
he was promoting. He is also reputed
to have made the remark that two
members of the council tried to extort
S. 600 from him in order to assure the
acceptance of contract.

It Is secondhand but Nevertheless
Interesting.

T. A. Cordry, editor of the Salina Ev-
ening Journal, is in Topeka today on
his way to Kansas City. He came
down this morning with Eugene Debs.
who lectured in Salina last night. Mi.
Cordry says Debs has the details of
next years presidential campaign all
figured out.
''Debs says that the Socialists will
have a complete ticket in the field next
year from president down." said Mr..
Cordry today. HE figures it out thai
the Democrats will win, although he
says the Republicans could win if they
really want to, as they are in better
shape than they have ever been. But
he says a panic is just about due, ana
the Republicans are planning to WORK
shenanigan on the Democrats and
unload the panic on to them. Debs says
he has inside information that Hanna
will fight Roosevelt and that Roosevelt
really does not want to be nominated
because he sees the panic coming and
does not want to be held responsible
for it. The trusts are fighting Roose-
the Democrats win. Debs says there
is an imitation of values all along the
line, that crops have yielded more than
there is a demand for, and as conse-
Quence the bottom will drop out OF
prices and there will be a panic. The
Republicans do not want to be respon-
sible for it so they propose to unload
the responsibility on to the Democrats,
according to Debs' idea.
'sDebs is a mighty companionable
man personally. He is as pleasant as
can be, and he gives a good lecture set
ting forth the socialistic IDEAS"

PUTS FOOT ON IT.
Washburn Socialist Club Sup
pressed by Faculty.

Washburn's "Socialistic club COM
posed of half a dozen students inclined
to a belief in socialistic doctrines, has
been suppressed by official action of
the Washburn authorities. President
Plass has notified the members of the
club that such an organization could
not be continued as college fnstitu-
ton.
While the reasons for the action of
the president are not known, 1t is sup
posed to have been brought about by
the large number of letters received
by Dr. Plass from friends of the col
lege, urging that the apparent endorse
ment of socialistic principles by the
college be repudiated. 1t is understood
that If the socialist club continues to
exist it will have to be entirely outside
of the college circles, without any real
or apparent connection with college
affairs.
AS a matter of fact the socialist club
did not amount to much, being composed
principally of a few young men who want
ed to study the principles of socialism
and not of confirmed and hardened advo-
Gates of that theory. Where the club
made it's mistake was in taking the name
Socialist club" If 1t had called itself a
social science club" or a Christian So
cialism club it would probably have been
all right, but straight socialism was going
too far.

MURDOCH AND BAILEY.
They Have a pheasant" Interview
Today.

Colonel Thomas Benton Murdoch,
editor of the FL Dorado Republican,
was a pleasant caller on Governor
Bailey today. In fact, both of them
were pleasant. Each ''joshed'' the other
just as though the Walnut valley
statesman is not doing his utmost to
get Governor Bailey out of his job.
Colonel Murdoch was in the office of
Secretary of State Burrow when the
governor ran across him.
why don't you come over and call
on me and be social?" asked Governor
Bailey, slapping Murdoch on the Shout
der. You need not try to look sour.
The Creator never intended that mug
of yours to do service for sour man.
1t is hard to imagine how a jolly, good
natured fellow like you can have SO
much venom in your blood as you try
to let on sometimes"
The two ''jollied" one another along
this line for some time, when the gov
ernor said:
What are you fellows trying to do
with me, anyway
1--WE amt trying-we're just doing
it," responded Col. Murdoch.
Eyes, you are" said the governor in
credulous1y.
You're not so bad yourself, Bailey"
said Murdoch tits your environment
that is wrong-your environment, en-
vironment, environment These last
words were said dramatically.
Then Governor Bailey led the way to
his private office, and from the sounds
of laughter that came forth the indl-
cations are that the two had "a real
good time"

ICE COVERED WALKS.

The supreme court today knocked
out a feature of the mechanics lien

decision of the Marshall county district
court, refusing to give Ada Spangler
damages against the ST. Joseph &
Grand Island Railroad company for the
loss of an eye during riot on a Sun
day excursion. The opinion of the court
is delivered by Justice Burch. It is a
dramatic story of the incident and a
picturesque description of an average
Sunday excursion.
The lower court upon the trial of the
suit for damages against the railroad
company sustained a demurrer. but
upon the facts recited by Justice
Burch the supreme court reversed the
lower court and sent the case back for
a new trial

Says He Wants to 60 to the
Penitentiary.

Ercie Bigley, who was arrested charged
with stealing a valise, has filed a request
with Assistant County Attorney McNary
that he be sent to the penitentiary.
Bigley was arrested about two years
ago and convicted of stealing a harness.
He was convicted and, as he was young,
and it was his first offence, he was sent
to the reformatory at Hutchinson. After
he was there a short time he was parOled-
He is still on parole Now he prefers be-
when he has finished his term then he
will be free. He fears that if he is re-
turned to the reformatory that when he
is released he will be sent to the pen

Bigley is the man who sawed a bar and
escaped from the city prison.

NO JUDGE IN SIGHT.
Governor Bailey Silent About
the appointment.

Governor Bailey is still extremely
sphinx-like regarding the appointment
of a supreme justice to succeed Judge
Pollock. 1t is uncertain just when an
appointment will be made.
Every mail brings in additional en-
dorSementS for various candidates.
Judge Clark Smith of Cawker, is evel-
oping considerable strength. 1t is ar
gued that the Sixth district has the
same claim to the vacancy as the Third
district, because the Sixth lost its JUS
tice last year through the death of JUS
tice Ellis, while the Third lost it's JUS
tice by appointment, but really gained
a better one in it's place. For this rea-
son some of the Sixth district states
men argue that if geography is to cut
any figure in deciding the appointment
Judge Smith should get at.
