CITY MAY PAY 1T.
Believed Hydrant Rental Judg-
ment Will Be Settled.

City officials were not inclined much
to conversation about the effect or iEi-
portance CT the decree in the suit
brought by the Topeka Water COM
pany to forecIose the mortgage against
itself.
There is nothing to be said yet"
said City Attorney Spencer. This is
too important a matter TO talk about
without careful deliberation. I won t
attempt TO make any comments off
hand; 1 suppose that later on I will be
called upon to give the city council a
communication in writing on the SUBJ
ject."
Mayor Bergundthal said: st don't
know anything about this. Talk to the
lawyers"
In connection with the progress of
the water company's efforts to clear
up it's title, the city seems to have
commenced the cultivation of a mys-
terry. The Summerfield case, as it is
called, which involves the payment Of
$13, 900 in hydrant rentals, was recent
ly won by the water company, and the
questi is whether the city shall ZAP
peal to the United States court of ap-
peals. Last night City Attorney Spen-
Ger asked the ways and means of the
council what he should do about it,
and the committee Immediately went
into executive session to tell him.
When the executive session was ovef,
each members of the committee stated
that he had pledged himself not to tell
what had taken place. Each one said,
Spencer is going to do the talking
for u.s."
When City Attorney Spencer was
asked to tell what the city will do, he
said:
Nothing was decided by the commit
tee There is no hurry about it, and
the committee decided to just let the
matter rest for awhile
will the city try to compromise the
case with the water company?'
mo, nothing of that sort is on foot"
"Are you waiting to see how the city
ownership deal will come out before
settling?"
mo, that's not tive simply decided
to watt
The probability is that the city will
not appeal the case, and it seems to be
merely a question of delaying the evil
day of settlement. The city probably
wants to hold back a little and see that
the water company is acting in good
faith in the city ownership deal before
it decides whether or not it will make
any further fight in the hydrant rental
case. The water company is very anx-
ious to get the $4,000. and the city
knows it.

BURTON FACES A JURY.

SwindIe
Postmaster General Payne was sub
poenaed as a witness by the defense
last week and Senator Burton expect
ed to prove by him that his, Burton )
action was not against the interests
of the government Mr.. Payne, how
ever, cannot be here. He is i'll and it
is stated that his physicians viii not
permit the subpoena to be served on
him.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Payne is an
extremely sick man, and private re-
ports which have been received here
from Washington state that it is quite
possible he may never be able to attend
to the duties of his office again. 1t
has been given out that Mr.. Payne has
been suffering from the gout, but the
facts seem to be, according to the
stories from Washington, that Mr
Payne has been very much worried
over the postal investigation and scam
dals, and he is on the verge of a nerv-
Gus collapse if, indeed, he has not al
ready collapsed. These reports may be
exaggerated, but certain it is that ME-.
Payne's illness is of a very serious
nature.

American Election Methods.

Washington, March 22.-Secretary
Taft has acted on a number of import
ant questions in connection with the
government of the Philippine regard
ing which he has been corresponding
recently with Governor Wright
In response to an inquiry made Iy
the latter as to the disposition of
claims for rent and for damages owing
to the occupation of churches and con-
vents by American troops, Governor
Wright has been instructed that in ac-
cOrdance with an agreement made at
Rome the apostolic delegate should
present these claims to the commits
sion in Mexico. This agreement was
reached on the ground that whatever
damages were allowed are due to the
church and not the friars.
Governor Wright was instructed to
notify the delegate that if. he will
present these claims General Wade,
commanding the Philippine division
will investigate and report on them
and that the secretary of war then will
make suitable recommendation for
congress for the settlement of the ap-
proved claims.

Wright that he has decided to allow

the Philippines until April 10 in order
to have the ship repair three military
cables and also to lay a cable from
the town of Legaspi Albay province

MR.. DYER's STATEMENT.
Reviews the Charges Against Senator
Burton.


D. P. Dyer's statement of the case to
the jury was made this afternoon and
was as follows:
Colonel D. P. Dyer, United States DIS
trict attorney, made the opening state
ment for the government After read
ing the indictment he said that the
charges against Senator Burton We're
based on section 1882 of the revised
statutes of the United States.
According to this statute, said Colo
mel Dyer 1T is unlawful for any sena-
tor or representative to accept pecunlary
fees for any service rendered to any
person or concern in any matter IN
which the government IS directly OF IN
directly Interested.
..fThe government will endeavor to
show by witnesses that the defendant
accepted certain sums of money from
the Rialto Grain & Securities company
for his influence in certain matters
pending before the postoffce depart
me1t in which the government was dl-
rectly or indirectly interested
1T is not the contention of the gov
ernment that Senator Burton used ms
influence for any matter that IN itself
is unlawful. The government does not
take cognizance of the character of the
matter in connection with which, 1t IS
alleged that Senator Burton received
compensa ton for using his influence for
the benefit of the Rialto Grain & Sc
curities company.
THE government charges and will en-
deavor to sustain these allegations by
testimony of witnesses and exhibits of
checks and letters, that Senator Burton
was engaged to represent the Rialto
Grain & Securities company in matters
pending before the postoffice depart
ment. in which the government was
either directly or indirectly interested,
for stipulated sum per month and that
five installments were paid to and ac-
cepted by Senator Burton.
1.-The Rialto Grain and Securities
company of St Louis was formed in
| September 1902. Shortly after it began
business, we will endeavor to prove,
certain complaints were lodged with
! the postmaster general regarding the
use of the mails bv the company.

MR. DILLON NAMED.
Appointed Special Master to
Close Waterworks Deal.

Judge Pollock of the United States
circuit court yesterday entered a de-
cree in the case to clear the title to
the Topeka waterworks property. The
property will be sold at the Shawnee
county court house. on a date not yet
set, to satisfy three existing mortgages,
subject to the first mortgage, which the
city of Topeka viii assume. The court
appointed H. p Dillon special master
to conduct the sale.
The three mortgages are known as
the first mortgage, the first consoli-
dated mortgage. and the third mort
gage. The last is subject to both the
others, and the decree of the court
practically sets it aside. The first
mortgage is for $270. 0O0 as it now
stands; the first consolidated mortgage
with accumulated interest is for $607,-
652.62; the third mortgage is for $550,00O
and interest. The order of the court is
to dispose of the property to the highest
bidder at public auction, subject to the
first mortgage bonds, and that the pro-
ceeds be applied upon the first consoli-
dated bonds. and the remainder to be
set against the third mortgage.
The city has agreed to pay $620000
for the waterworks. The amount due
on the first consolidated mortgage is
over S600.000 and to this must be added
the pay of the special master and the
costs of the proceedings. After the
$270.000 still due on the first mortgage
bonds is subtracted from the purchase
price of 100000. there will be $350000
left to apply on the consolidated bonds.
Consequently it can be seen that the
third mortgage Is practically Cancelled.
The decree provides that after the sale
is made the holders of all the mort
cages shall sign the deed of conveyance
which gives the property to the highest
bidder.
1t is not likely that a sale can be
made before the first week ir May, be-
cause it has to be advertised three
weeks,
