TRAINMEN EXPEL
DETECTIVE SPY

Denver, May 30.-In the convention
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men Thursday, E. L. Weiant who ap-
peared as a delegate of lodge No. Of
Chicago, was openly accused of being
a spy. While the excitement among
the delegates was at fever heat he
was searched and declared to be
guilty. Only the example of Grand
Master Morrissey saved the men from
offering violence. He was taken to his
lodgings, where he surrendered his de-
tective star and his notebooks and
papers. He left Denver at o'clock.
From the beginning of the conven-
tion Weiant had been in Denver. He
is said to have worked for the Colo
RADIO & Southern and the Illinois Cen
trail, and to have been a member in
good standing in the Chicago lodge,
where his real business was not sus-
pected. He became engaged to Thiel's
detective agency of Chicago. but it is
not known for how many years he has
acted as a spy over his companions.
1t is stated that Weiant was under
suspicion from the day he reached the
clay, and that Thursdays exposure is
ing given the assurance of safety he
was arraigned before the convention.
Grand Master Morrissey called the
meeting to order and stated that he
would hold every delegate personally
responsible for what might follow.
After an ineffectual denial, Weiant
admitted everything and was taken un-
der guard to his room at the Grand
Central hotel. There he was photo
graphed. His expulsion from the
brotherhood followed his exposure. His
description will be sent to all the
lodges in the United States. Canada
and Mexico.

things being equal in political appoint
ments He was turned down and an
other man appointed and he brou9h mt
quo warranto proceedings in the dis
tlict court to oust the other man from
office. but the court ruled against him.
The chief allegations of error made
bv Mr. DeVer are as follows:
The cout erred in its construction
and Interpretation of the veterans
preference law; also erred in holding
that under that law the veteran appl-
cant must possess equal qualifications
and ability to those of any other avail
able persons before he is entitled to
preference: also erred in holding that
the law in question is against public
nolicv if it intends that the veteran ap-
plicant. whose qualifications and abil-
tiles are less than those of any other
available person. shall have preference
over such other person.
1.-The court erred in holding that the
mayor alone is in this case the sole ana
exclusive Judge of the qualifications OF
the veteran applicant and of what are
necessary qualifications to fill the office
of city attorney; also erred in holding
that the action of the mayor in that re-
gard cannot be inquired into in a pro-

The chief difference between the fig

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1903-09-02

Mr.. Kelly asks with much gusto, if
the legislature of 1901 appropriated for
these two years $5 157.755-15 and collect
ed in full from the levy and fees, $4,603,-
$3.50, where did the state get the
$3.50. 1885 to pay the difference2'-
Mr. Kelly knows that in 1901 $412,-
O05.02 of the appropriations was unex-
pended and that for the year 1902. $685.
1925 was unexpended, hence that there
was no difference to pay, but instead
that there was an increased balance
left over
