Charge of Osborne Farmer.

Bert P. Walker, who has been doing
kansas Men and Matters" on the
Topeka Capital since the death of
Harmon Wilson nearly year ago, has
resigned his place on the Capital and
left Monday for Osborne, where he
takes charge of the Osborne Farmer.
The Farmer is one of the oldest and
best newspaper properties in the Sixth
district. Mr.. Walker is an old en-
ploye of the paper and is well ac-
Quainted with the work which he will
have there. 1t has been his ambition
for a good while to get hold of a good
country newspaper of his own.
The Farmer is what is known as

ty, and Mr.. Walker will probably con-
tinue it along the same lines. A bit
ter fight is now on in Osborne county
over the nomination of the Republican
candidate for representative.
Mr.. Walker is a thoroughly wide
awake newspaper man and the Farm
er could not be in better hands.

CONVENTION HALL.
The Question of Use as Theater Under
Discussion.

1t is uncertain whether the dove of peace
has rested upon the District building, which
has been the center of the controversy over
the proposed Belasco production at Conven-
ton Hall or not, although indications point
to a possible settlement of the controversy.
The Commissioners were considering the
application for license for the perform
ance Of Mrs. Carters Andrea" when Mr..
Darneille, the District assessor, as has been
stated in The Star, suddenly issued a license
for the performance, which stated in spe-
cific terms that the hall might be used for
theatrical purposes.
The Commissioners, upon inquiring as to
why Mr.. Darneille had taken up and set
tied a question to which they We're giving
consideration, were informed that the issue
of licenses was matter over which the
Commissioners had no jurisdiction.
Today a conference was held between
Engineer Commissioner Biddle and William
G. Smythe, representing David Belasco. In
which Mr. Smythe told Col Biddle he felt
certain that the alterations in the hall pro-
posed by Mr.. Belasco and necessary for the
production will be entirely satisfactory to
the Commissioners.
He was not able to state in detail the
changes contemplated, but he said that
Mr.. Belasco and his force of employees have
carefully studied the electrical. building
and other regulations Of the District, and
that these regulations will be fully COM
piled with by MIR. Belasco.
Mr.. Smythe further stated that tomorrow

ton win meet Col. Biddle, and in company

the Elyria Savings Deposit Bank against
Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick, Mr.. Chantler, IN
statement today said:
I'm Ohio it seems to be necessary in fore
closure proceedings to notify lien creditors
and make them party defendants. The
mortgage referred to in the Cleveland tele-
gram was security for personal loan,
which was paid off long ago and a satis-
faction piece was sent at that time to Mrs.
Chadwick, who probably neglected to place
the same on record.
Associated Press Man Admitted.
Just after Mr.. Fay had left the jail. and
about noon, the Associated Press represen-
tative admitted to the matron's quar-
ters, where Mrs. Chadwick is. She was
sitting upon a couch with silken robe
thrown across her lap, and was resting her
chin in her hand. a picture of mingled de-
spair and anger. The prisoner did not pre-
sent the trim appearance she has hereto
fore. Her features showed the traces OF
anxiety and the nervous tension she has
been under, while heF eSes flnAhed with
spirit as she saw her visitor approach.
"Who gave you permission to come here2'
she demanded before a question had been
asked. She was angered over something,
and refused to discuss any topic whatever.
Nothing Further Today.
She was told that the promised statement
she was to make was anxiously awaited by
the people of Cleveland, as well as all other
parts of the country, and the public inter-
est in the case was again pressed upon her,
but she maintained the spirit of resentment
against everybody, and especially the news
papers, for printing the interview that
President Beckwith had with her yester
day.
Finally Mrs. Chadwick said: ,tI have
made my last statement; will have moth
ing further to say, and she closed the in
terview. During the conversation her nurse
Freda sat beside her, stroking the prison
ers hands and trying to soothe the enraged
woman.

THE NEW YORK sENAToRsH1P.
Senator Platt's Views on Yesterdays IS
Conference.

Senator Platt of New York was very
much interested today in the account in
this mornings New York papers of four
hours conference between Governor Odeli
and his lieutenants In New York yester-
day. at which it was said that the Odell
faction had practically decided that ex-
Gov. Frank S. Black should succeed SEN
ator Depew in the United States Senate.
Senator Platt was not inclined today to
view the results Of that conference as in
any way decisive. He said that 1t was
merely a meeting between Governor Odell
and his immediate followers. and does not
forecast the action of the legislature. Sem
ator Platt added that Senator Depew was
still In the senatorial race and that his
prospects were in no way diminished by
Yesterdays conference.

vention Hall and explain exactly the
changes to be made. He said that If any
changes or precautions in addition to those
already planned are deemed necessary by
the authorities they will be made.
This whole affair has given rise to
great deal Of comment in the city for the
two phases which it has presented, one the
question of authority between the assessor
and the Commissioners, and the other the
question of the safety Of the public in the
aters and places of amusement.
1t is believed that whether license has
been issued or not the Commissioners will
see that the regulations to which every
theater in the city is compelled to comply
with will be enforced at Convention Hall.
Within the year the local theaters have
each been put to thousands of dollars or
expense IN meeting requirements of the
authorities for the supposed purpose OF pub
lie safety.
It was pointed out that either these re-
ouirements were frivolous or unnecessary
or they should be enforced at convention
Hall when that structure is turned INTO g.
theater for however short or long time.
