GAMBLERS GET RESPITE
Attorney Eugene Hagan Asked for
Another Postponement.

Mike Thompson, Wood Fowler,
lobe Tobias and 81 Hurst who enter
ed a plea of guilty before Judge He
zen to the charge of maintaining a
gambling device, did not appear in tn e
district court this morning to receive
sentence as per the schedule an
nounced.
None of the defendants were in the
court room Judge Hazen announced
that late Saturday he received a letter
from the attorney for the gamblers,
Eugene Hagan, written in Washing
ton, d. c., and stating that he wished
to be present when his clients receive
sentence and announcing that he
would be in Topeka by May l ?. Judge
Hazen also received a telegram this
morning from Mr.. Hagan announcing
that he would leave Washington to-
day and that he would be here in time
for the court to pass sentence on the
four defendants on or before Thurs
day of this week. Judge HaZen an
nounced that the passing of sentence
would be postponed until Hagan cOulC
be present
The gamblers through their attor-
neyS and friends, suggested the plan
of entering a plea of guilty to the
charge of maintaining a gambling de-
vice If the case against them under
the CubbiSOn law would be dismissed
after the penalty under the plea of
guilty had been carried out. County
Attorney Hungate agreed to this if the
gamblers would enter the plea of
guilty in advance of the day for trial
to insure Hungate that it would not
be necessary to be prepared and have
the witnesses here.
The understanding was that the
gamblers would be sentenced to six
months in the county Jail. The first
delay was secured by Hagan, the day
the plea of guilty was entered, asking
that the sentence be deferred until the
defendants could prepare to go to Jail
and until he could be present.
Inn m ~
blers began pulling all the wires they
could to secure mercy. They do not
relish a jail sentence, such as was
agreed upon, and the gamblers have
been trying to have a fine of $500
each imposed upon the four instead of
a term in jail
Emissarie of Mike Thompson and
the other three have been trying to
secure leniency from the court by
working up a sentiment for a fine in
stead of a jail sentence on the ground
that the county needs the money.
County Attorney Hungate said this
morning: Il expected the four de-
PENDANTS in this case to appear this
morning and be sentenced. However.
tn matter is in the hands of the court
and the postpOnement requested by
the attorney was proper. There is
still another case hanging over these
defendants. It has not been dismissed
and it Will not be until after they have
carried out the sentence of the court
IN this case"

THEY HAD A CIRCUS.
The Sells-Sterne Combination Opens
in Topeka.

The Great Sells-Sternes circus was
pulled off according to schedule Satur-
day afternoon. The principal lesson to
be gathered from the performance was
that the initiative ability and start

complete juvenile circus. laid, set and
Matched in the fertile brain of a bunch
of boys.
Only one feature of the real circus
was eliminated. There were no women
trapezists or bare-backists. These is
sues were ably handled by boys. The
small boy can get along nicely without
any feminine assistance or interference,
except from his mother. Perhaps his
elders could, too. but they never try
it very extensively

RIGHTS OF TAXPAYERS,

taxpayer has an absolute right to
make such examination, but that
the enforcement of that right by man.
damus is within the discretion of the
court, depending upon the showing OF
proper case for the exercise of tAr
right. The court declares that a citizen
and taxpayer should be allowed to
make a general examination of the
books of the municipality when this
is important to the public interests
but that this should not be lightly
grained or permitted with unneces-
sary frequency, and that only trust.
worthy and reliable person should be
allowed to make it, subject at all
times and at every stage to the super
vision of the court. The fact that an
ordinance requires a submission of the
books TO the inspection of certain Off
GERS as committees, and that the grand
jury also has a right to an inspec-
ton. is held insufficient to defeat the
right of a citizen and taxpayer 1t is
also held that the fact that the per-
son seeking the inspection is political
ly hostile to their custodian does not
deprive him of the right, unless it is
sought with corrupt purpose, merely
to further his animosity. Neither is
the fact that it viii produce worry and
