POLICE ARE REBUKED.
Jury Releases Homer Gregg
Who Was Badly Treated.

The jury in the district court this
morning marched out to the jury room.
turned around and within two minutes
marched back to the jury box and
handed in a Verdict to the effect that
Homer Gregg was not guilty of disor-
Derby conduct.
The case was the outcome of a raid
made by the police SOME months ago
on Oscar Krauss' harness shop and
Gregg's restaurant in North Topeka.
The police searched Krauss' harness
shop for liquor and then went through
Gregg's restaurant. No liquor was
found in either place. Gregg was alb
sent. His wife was there and was
greatly excited by the conduct of the
officers. After the police went through
the places Henry Steel and some other
citizens held an indignation meeting
on the street corner and soundly bera
ted the officers for their conduct. Gregg
came home about that time and heard
what had happened. He went to the
officers and demanded to know what
they meant by such actions. There
was a large crowd and the officers were
being lectured in no uncertain Ian
guage. When Gregg pushed his way
through the crowd and demanded to
know what was going on the officers
arrested him. They said they had a
warrant for him. Gregg demanded that
they produce it. When the officers
failed to show the warrant he resisted
arrest Gregg got away but the next
day went to the police station and gave
himself up.

FLAGS LOWERED.
Navy Department Pays Tribute
to Memory of Whitney.

Washington, Feb. 3.-News of the
death of William c. Whitney caused a
painful impression here, particularly
among the employees of the navy de-
partment and among naval officers who
had served under the Whitney admin
istration. The first class loved him be-
cause of his many warm traits of
heart, his generous acts and the activ e
sympathy he always manifested in the
welfare of the humblest workers in the
department. He was always seeking to
better their condition and the clerks
owed to him many indulgencies which.
made their lot happier and their work
less onerous.
Naval officials held him in high es-
TEEN because of an abiding belief on
their part that to William c. Whitney
was owing in great measure the pres
ent magnificent naval establishment.
He is regarded by these officers as the
father of the American modern navy.
Official notice of the late secretary S
death was taken today when the flags
over the navy department building and
the annex were ordered to be placed
at half mast and to be kept so until
after the funeral.
EULOGISTIC ADDRESSES.

dresses concerning the late William c.

es of the legislature today and the

Spect to his memory.

way, and granting the building to any
body it wants to, free of charge. There
fore when the council grants the use or
the Auditorium to somebody ION the
usual terms" it is a little bit difficult
to determine exactly what is meant.
The people who get the building seem
to construe it to mean "free'-at any
rate they frequently don't pay any
thing.
The city clerks record does not indi-
cate whether the people who were
granted the Auditorium actually used 1t
on the date specified. 1t does not al
ways show clearly the purpose for
which the building was to be used.
In addition to the state poultry show,
which does not seem to pay anything
a t all for the use of the building-not
even the light and heat bill-and the
Midwinter exposition, which pays for
light and heat, but nothing else-the
