FOR A GRAND JURY
Petitions for One Are at Last in
Circulation.
They Must BE Filed Early Next
Week.

Petitions asking Judge Hazen to call
a. grand jury for the January term of
the district court are being circulated
The first petition circulated this
morning started off with the signatures
of P. 1. Bonebrake, John E. Frost,
Warren NJ. Crosby, Edwin Knowles, L.
NJ. Penwell
The petitions which are being circu-
lated read as follows:
ITO the Honorable 4. T. Hazen, Judge
of the District Court of Shawnee
County, Kansas.
THE undersigned tax payers OF
Shawnee county, Kansas, herewith
pray that you order a grand jury drawn
and summoned in accordance with law
to attend at the January, 1905, term OF
the district court OF Shawnee county
Several petitions are being circulated
in various parts of town and very few
persons decline to sign. Nine out OF
ten taxpayers ask no questions but say
they think a grand jury would be
good thing and they sign Immediately
A few people strange to say wonder
what there is for a grand jury to do
and query as to the need OF a grand
jury They should hear Mr. P. L. Bone
brakes comment: Il am in favor of
grand jury 1t would be a menace to
all rascals and tend to repress them;
The state house disclosures and scandals
call for official action, but Mr.. Coleman
does nothing to clear up the good name
the way.
A grand jury has the power to sum-
mons witnesses and to examine them as
TO the violation of any laws Anyone
having knowledge of the violation OF
any law can give evidence before the
grand jury of such violation ana the
jury can then make a thorough eXaml-
nation by SummOning all witnesses nee
essary to give testimony. Witnesses
can be summoned by the grand jury. IL
necessary, from any county in Kansas
Many attorneys think that the
proper way to bring all prosecutions
for all crimes is through grand jury
as in that way the prosecuting at
torney can make a thorough inveSt1ga-
ton and secure all the testimony
necessary for the prosecution. and then
when the indictment, and arrests fol-
low he has the evidence with Whlch
to prosecute.
The petition praying for a grand
jury must be filed with the judge OF
the court at least 40 days before the
beginning of the term of court at
which the grand jury shall be in ses-
sion. The next term of the Shawnee
county district court begins January
O. 1t will therefore be necessary to
later than Tuesday, November 2s, for
it to be filed the required time prior
to the next term of court.
There must be 400 signatures to the
petition of Shawnee county tax pay
ers. To be certain that there will be
more than the actual number of sig
natures necessary and to reflect the
sentiment of the people.
The grand jury would be in session
only as long as it is found necessary
and when the grand jury has COM
pleted its work and returned it's in
dictments the Judge of the court can
then dismiss the jury.

VEIL OF MYSTERY.
1t Covers a New and Important
Woman Witness
In the Trial of Nan Patterson
for Young Murder.
LETTERS ARE SECURED
Which 1t Lis Said Show His Life
Was Threatened.
Other Documents Are Hinted at
by the Prosecution.

New York, Nov. 25.-A new and i'm
portant witness whose identity thus far
has been carefully concealed, will be
brought forward by the prosecution in
the trial of Nan Patterson for the muir
der of Caesar Young, according to a
story which gained circulation today.
Beyond the statement that the witness
is a woman, that she is young and that
she was well acquainted with both
Caesar Young and the woman now on
trial, the report was indefinite. OF the
nature of the disclosure which the wit
ness is expected to make nothing could
be learned. That the testimony is con-
Sidered of great Importance by the
prosecution, however. seems apparent.
According to the report the woman is
constantly under the guard of detec-
tives. The calling of this mysterious
woman to the witness chair is said to
be only one of the many startling fea-
lures of Assistant District Attorney
Rand'S case.
Almost of the same Importance to the
strength of evidence are several docu-
since Miss Patterson has been prison
er in the Tombs. 1t has been claimed
since the arrest of the young woman
that the prosecutor had secured possess
sion of letters. which it is alleged show
that the defendant made threats
against the life of Young, but the doc
which it is said will be prOduc
ed as a complete surprise are of a diff
ferent character.

completed the seventh biennial report
of his department and it is now in the
hands of the state printer. 1t shows
that there are now 525 state banks. %
private banks and one trust company

During the biennial period there
have been only three bank failures and
two of these were due to the dishon-
esty of those in charge. The Cimar-
ron State bank was closed on Septem-
ber Is, 1902, and its depositors have
already been paid 80 cents on the dol
lar. The Toronto bank. the failure of
which was caused by the speculation
of the owner, w. P. Dickerson, went
under in January, 1908. Dickerson
was arrested. released on bond. and
then fed out of the country, forfeiting
his bond His depositors will lose
amout $4,000. The Bank of High
land was the third failure. This was
the famous MARCEL failure, caused by
the forgeries of J. E. MARCEL. the
cashier.

Washington, has been closed by direc-
ton of the comptroller of the currency
because of insolvency, and National
Bank Examiner Eugene T. Wilson has
been appointed receiver. The failure
of this bank, according to- a statement

farmers, and in their midst. closely
watched, was Dennis Garbally, the
tramp. Garbally is the man who was
arrested Monday afternoon by Deputy
Paddy Belts. Belts picked him up be-
cause he caught him washing a shirt
in the Kaw river.
When Lucas saw the prisoner, and
thought of his long ride, he was thor
oughly disgusted. Taking Mr.. Gar
bally firmly by the ear he led him to
the railroad track, pointed toward
the TroDic of Cancer and remarked: :
Now you git, and hump yourself
about it. Tarry not, and don't let me
catch you in this county again."
Mr.. Garbal1y, hobo, hastily made
his adieux. and faded gracefully away
to the southwark.
The farmers had found him about
two miles north of Wakarusa, where
he frightened a woman by his gen.
eral appearance. A posse of husky
farm hands, armed with shotguns,
pitchforks and other junk, escorted
him to town and then sent for the
sheriff.

ALBRIGHT IS NAMED.
Spanish War Veteran Will Be Audi
tors Chief Clerk.

State Auditor Wells today appointed
Captain w. S. Albright as chief clerk
in the auditors office. Captain AL
bright will spend a few days familiar
izing himself with his new duties, and
will begin active work in the auditors s
office about December 1.
For the past four years Captain
Albright has been deputy bank COM
missioner in Morton Albaugh's office.
He had had sixteen years experience
in banking before he went into the
bank commissioner office. When
the Spanish-American war broke out
he enlisted in the Twentieth Kansas

enworth company, serving in the Phil
ippines.
In view of the probability that the
coming legislature may require con-
siderable extra work in the auditors
office the coming year in preparing
new sets of records and books, Auditor
Wells wanted a capable man for his
chief clerk, and for that reason the
place was offered to Captain Albright,

NO YELLOW FEVER.
Its Existence Indignantly Denied by
Cuban Health Authorities.

Havana, Nov. 25.-"We challenge
the United States marine hospital
service to point out, as alleged, that
several cases of yellow fever have
appeared in various parts of Cuba"
was the response of DIR. Carlos Fin
lay, chief of the department of health
and sanitation, when shown a dispatch
from Washington assigning that as
a reason for instructions of the United.
States to Minister Squires to call at
tention of the Cuban authorities to
the unsanitary condition at Santiago
and elsewhere in the island and urge
prompt and thorough remedy of those
conditions. DR.. F'inlay who has a
high reputation as a, yellow fever ex-
pert, asserted with confidence there is
not a single case of the disease in
Cuba. 1t was not within possibility,
he added that half dozen marine
hospital inspectors stationed at Cuban
ports should have discovered cases
which the thoroughly organized health
department of Cuba has failed to dis
cover, and more than improbable that
they should know of such cases and
yet fail to call the attention of the
Cuban department to them. DR.. Fin
lay reiterated that the only case origi-
mating in Cuba in more than three
years was that of the American, Scott
Fuller, at Punta De Sal, which was ex-
tremely light and of questionable au-
thenticity. Suspicion attached also to
Fuller's attendant but the disease has
not developed. Health officers at ali
CUBAN ports, Dr. F1nIdy SAID, treat all
fever symptoms in arrivals from Car
ibbean and South American ports as
suspicious and also all others that are
in the least questionable. These are
invariably detained and isolated until
they die or are cured. DR.. Delago, a
Cuban, who is the United States hos
pital inspector at Havana, disclaimed
any knowledge of yellow fever cases
this year, except in six persons who
al rived from Mexicoa and who were
isolated. OF these two died and the
others recovered.
Cuban officials unreservedly admit
AMI condemn the bad sanitary condi-
tfons III some of the eastern cities. DIR.
Guiteras, the yellow fever expert, has
been summoned to inform President
Palma of the existing conditions.
Minister Squires has received no
direction from Washington, but will
again take the matter up Informally
at an audience with President Palma.
IT is now generally held that President
Palma should undertake sanitation
wherever it is needed, without waiting
longer for congress to give authority. |

LIGHTED PIPE AND GASOLINE.
Combination Causes the Death of Five
Italians.

Italians perished in a fire which last
night destroyed the old Noble grain
warehouse at North Bend. For some
time sixty or more Italian railroad
laborerS have been sleeping in the
building. One of them was washing
a pair of overalls in a pail of gasoline,
when a spark from his pipe fell into
the pail, causing an explosion that
scattered the burning oil.
instantly there was a panic among
the Italians, most of whom had been
asleep. They fought madly to escape
from the burning man. One leaped
from a window and was picked up
with a broken leg.
It. is believed the five who perished
were trampled upon in the rush to
get out. Their badly charred bodies
have been recovered.
