Hardness of Supreme Court Mandate
Gives Him Time.

The representations of the supreme
court has defeated the intent of a prose-
cution for liquor selling in Shawnee
county. A month ago the supreme court
confirmed the verdict of the district court
in finding Charles Hoffman guilty on two
counts for selling liquor y The mandate,
however, has not been sent down and
Hoffman has left the city, according to
reports of the sherfff's officers.
Hoffman was convicted a year ago in
the district court. He was charged on
two counts with selling liquor to Roy
Dutton, a 16-year-old boy. Hoffman would
have 50 days to serve in the county jail
and would have to pay fine of 5000
After the decision of the supreme court
was made known Hoffman vanished. His
wife is on his bond for $500.
Another case which has been lost in
the archives of the supreme court is the
case of Fritz Durein, who was tried and
convicted in the district court about the
same time as Hoffman Durein'S case
has not been passed upon by the supreme
court

TO CLINCH 1T.
Chairman Larimer Begins His
Rule by Car Like Methods.

To make it a "cinch'' that the Hughes
faction shall control the Republican
city central committee, H. G. Larimer,
the newly elected chairman, today an
nounced the appointment of the follow
ing executive committee: John Steele,
s. T. Leachman, w. T. Calvin, c. H.
Titus, c. F. cambridge and Geo. Lar
kins, together with the officers of the
committee who are members of the ex-
ecutive committee ex+ efficto.
1t has been customary in-sthe past TO
allow the committeeman at large from
each ward to act as meS1bers of the
executive committee, but this year
there were one or two of the commit ee-
men at large who were not sufficiently
friendly to Col. Hughes. F. r. Simon
therefore fixed it so that the new chair
man should appoint anyone he pleased
for the executive committeeman.
Chairman Larimer knocked out w. S.
Eberle, F. G. Dreaming and J. W. Gleed.
Eberle and Dreaming were supposed to
be too friendly to Mayor Bergundthal,
and the Third ward was given no rep
resentation because both. H. G. Larimer,
rotary, are from the Third ward.
The executive committee will hold a
meeting at once to make plans for get
ting out a good registration in the
wards where contests are expected.
This means the Second and Third
wards. No trouble is expected else
where. c. K. Holiday, the Republican
candidate in the Second, offered the
committee last night to pay just dou-
poses, whatever that might be, because
of the fact that he has a hard hight in
his ward, and wants more help than
some of the other wards.

AS an American 1 am an enthusiast,

Providence in the affairs of men. That
this grand and glorious republic with
all imperfections is to be the most
beneficent and remarkable government
instituted on earth. Not only embody
all that is wisest and best from the
philosophy, jurisprudence and legisla-
ton of the past but will be the most
powerful in the diplomacy and policy of
other countries. More and more she
will become the mentor, the arbiter, the
umpire. All the while she will be solv-
ing the problem of personal liberty, in
dividual freedom and independence in
its application to all the affairs of life
Through commissions, upheavals and
revolutions of agitation and sentiment
will be constant evolution. The present
widespread exposition and punishment
of official corruption, bribery and
boodlerism, the revolt against machine
politics and bossism, will all have a
Vivifying and purifying effect for civic
righteousness and higher citizenship
by arousing a spirit of patriotism and
abating existing evils and abuses. Re
forms and improvement will come.
Every good citizen will realize more fully

FRANCHISE IS WANTE
City Railway Again applies to
Commissioners.

The Topeka Railway company has
renewed its efforts to secure from the
board of county commissioners a 80
year franchise over the roads and
highways in Shawnee county The
franchise asked for is practically a
blanket franchise"
On January 20 the railway company
submitted a carefully prepared fran
chise which the officers of the road
asked that the commissioners grant.
There were no restrictions in that
franchise, and the board announced
that no franchise would be given I'M
less the extensions proposed by the
railway company be designated
To-Day the Topeka railway company
submitted a new franchise, signed by
L. e. Myers, which the company asks
the board to pass. This new franchise
is supposed to be in accordance with
the announcement that the board of
commissioners would not pass a "blan-
ket franchise but this new one is
blanket enough.
The franchise submitted to the board
states that the Topeka railway COM
pany desires to make extensions of its
lines. and provide switches. turnouts
and wyeS in order ito give the patrons
of said lines a more perfect and COM
pleta service
The franchise furthermore provides
that the Topeka railway company may
build and extend lines of railway
''along and through such highways as
may be necessary for the PURPOSES
above mentioned ana as shown on the
plat hereto annexed" The plat shows
some small extensions and switches
and yves. but does not show any ma
terial extension or change.
Where the blanket feature of the
franchise comes in is that the prayer
and the franchise ask that the board
grant and give to said the Topeka
Railway company the right and au-
| thority to reconstruct, build extend
maintain and operate over. along and
through the public roads and highways
aforesaid AID such other public roads
and highways as may be necessary fol-
the purpose herein set out. for the
period of 80 years from the date of the
grant here prayed for" The clause
and such other public roads and high
ways" seems to be the blanket part.
The franchise further provides that
the company may be allowed to fur
nish in connection with the railway
heat, light. power, by pipes, conduits
poles. wires. cables or other methods
and appliances and that the company
carry passengers, baggage, express and
freight.

OPERA COMPANY STRIKES.
Singers Leave the Stage at New
YORK.

New York, March 1s.-The French
Grand Opera company of New Orleans,
which began at the Casino theater on
Monday what was to have been three
weeks engagement, struck last night
after the audience was seated and after
a wordy warfare left the house in a
body. The singers refused to appear
because back pay was not forthcoming
to several of them. Today Mr.. Charley,
the manager, started for New Orleans
to raise money and when the members
of the company were informed of his
departure they summarily quit.
1t was decided today to disband the
New Orleans-F'rench Opera company,
the members of which refused to sing
last night, claiming that their salaries
were overdue. The company began an
enga cement in this city on Monday, the
intention being to open in Paris after
a short run here. 1t was said that Man
ager Charley appealed to his New Or
leans subscribers for financial assist
ance, but failing to secure it, he gave
up the engagement here. The company
numbered $50 people and has been heard
in many parts of the country.

PAGE IS TURNED DOWN.
a. @. Larimer Elected Chairman of
Republican City Committee.


The old Republican city central COM
mittee wound up its affairs last night
and turned over the business of the
Republican campaign to the new COM
mittee. which Immediately organized
for the ensuing year. H. Ward Page,
who has been chairman for year
past, was a candidate for reelection,
but was turned down. Harry G. Lar
inner was elected chairman, and W. G.
Ralston. assistant in the city attorneys
office. was elected secretary.
The election of Larimer to the chair
manship was a move of the radical law
and order and Hughes people. He was
also supported enthusiastically by
Nick Chiles. who stood in the back
part of the room and rooted for him.
The fight on Page has been brewing
for the fight was the fact that Page
managed the campaign of A. w. Dana
for judge of the district court. The
law and order people claimed that in
SO doing he had worked against their
interests. City Engineer McCabe. a
well known prohtbitionist, worked
against Page for personal reasons. his
brother, A J. McCabe, having been
defeated by Dana.
Col J. w. f. Hughes was also active
in securing Pages defeat. as he has
aspirations for the mayoralty for next
year and was afraid Page would be
unfriendly to him. All the negroes on
the committee voted against Page,
who received seven votes out of q
cast. W. c. Ralston was included in
the Larimer slate. Ten votes were
cast in favor of w S. Eberle for sec
rotary, although he had made no effort
to secure the place and had not taken
part in the fight on Page. There was
no fight over the secretaryship.

GAYLORD GOES FREE.
Now Some One Has 800 Costs to
Paw.

The county will probably have to pay
800 for the expenses of the trial of S.
F. Gaylord, charged in the city court
Gaylord was found not guilty. and
Judge NcCabe decided that the prose-
cution was malicious and that the
complaining witness. D. B. Simpson,
should be charged with the costs.
The criminal proceedings appear to
have been invoked by private parties
to aid in the collection of &. bill. Gay
lord bought a bicycle from Simpson.
Gaylord owed $32 on the machine when
he went to joplin. Simpsons attorney
wrote Gaylord threatening to prose-
cute him on a criminal charge if the
money was not paid at once. A COM
plant for GAYLORD was issued by AS
sistant County Attorney Jamison and
Sheriff Lucas went to Joplin and
arrested Gaylord. The rest of the his

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-06-11

Speculation on the stock exchange
was listIess and featureless except for
the rise in Ontario & Western, result
ing from efforts to dissolve the voting
trust, says Banker Clews. Some
strength was also noticeable in the
coalers, based upon recent heavy tom
mage and still another stimulating
factor was the rumor Of settlement
between the Hill and Hartman fac
lions, which probably lacks confirma-
ton. One of the most depressing
features was the condition OF the iron
trade and the growing supplies of pig
iron in the face of curtailed produce
ton. Still another Encouragement is
the labor situation and the deplorable
state OF anarchy which exists in GER
tain parts Of Colorado. Just now
the cause Of labor is suffering severely
from reckless and foolish leadership.
Public opinion, which has long favored
lettering the condition of the working
man, is now being thoroughly aroused
against present methods in unionism,
and is likely to become as intolerant OF
labor monopoly as it has been of cap
ltalistic monopoly, particularly, when
either can only be attained by intimi-
dalton, murder and loss Of rightful
personal freedom. Possibly radical
unionism has reached It's climax. and
henceforth let it be hoped we may wit
ness unions governed by reason and in,
telligence instead of brute force.
