GREEK COLONY
in A TURMOIL
J. Kapsimalis Is Appointed
Consul and His Country
men Demand His, Removal
CRITICIZE HIS ACCENT
Opponents Declare That He
Murders the Language of
Homer When He Converses

To the astonishment of the Greek
colony of this city, ex-Sheriff Henry
Martin was removed last Tuesday from
the office of Greek Consul and j. Kap-
simalis was appointed in his place.
The colony IS up in arms against
the new Consul, who took charge Of
the consulate last Thursday. Various
charges are made against him by his
fellow countrymen, and a petition for
his removal is being drafted
One of the accusations made against
the new Consul is that his Greek ac-
cent is not beyond reproach. He talks
the language made immortal by Homer
like a tongue-tied Hottentot telling
about baseball game, so his op-
ponents declare.
His predecessor. ex-Sheriff Martin.
was regarded as an excellent Consul
h1lt the Greek lingo was too much for
him. Word reached Athens from the
Greeks of San Francisco that a Consul
who could talk the language was want
ed. So Martin was removed and the
appointment OF Kapsimalis was an
nounced.
The entire Creek colony is opposed
to the new appointment. 1t is assert
ed that kapsimalis speaks neither
Greek nor English, but a sort Of pot
pourri of both. There are other COM
plants against the new representative
OF his Grecian Majesty.
The opposition, which consists of
nearly the entire Greek colony, declares
that Kapsimalis wormed himself into
the good graces of the Greek Govern
ment by representing that he had done
work which was performed by others
AS soon as his appointment was an
nounced he was removed from the of
fee of president OF leading Greek
society. Already 200 names Of prom
inent Greeks have been signed to Pc
tition for his removal from the con-
sular job. When the petition is ready
copies of it will be sent to the Greek
Consul at New York and to the Foreign
Office in Athens.

many Of the famous characters of the

for its wealth and culture, it never rose
to any great importance as a business
center until the completion of the spur
of the Missouri Pacific from the main

Letters from various sections of the country leaves no
doubt that the railroads have commenced a systematic eff
fort to coerce the country editors into opposing railroad
rate legislation, or at least into silence regarding the mat
ter. From the number of letters received at the Com
moner office, it is evident that not all of the editors will
be coerced. Notice is called to the matter in The Com
moner in order that the editors who are approached may
know that others are being likewise tempted.-The Com

The fans Of Versailles were treated to
a game Of ball last Tuesday afternoon
which might be called professional from
the fact that the lawyers and doctors
were pitted again each other for honors
in the base ball arena.
The largest crowd that over witnessed
a game of bali in this city assembled at
the base ball park, and all who went out
to see the game came home highly elated
as the humorous features sandwiched
in fully repaid everyone who attended
the game.
The doctors opened the ball and piled
up five runs before the legal frater-
nifty could nolle pros the case. The
lawyers then came in and proceeded to
give the doctors a lesson from Black
stone, but it was . short one, only two
lawyers succeeded In finding the plate.
The second inning the pitchers held
the lines and neither team succeeded in
reaching first base. In the third the
doctors started in to give the ball an
einetic, but were called down after two
runs had been made. Tho lawyers then
shifted the breezes, walked up to the
trough, and before C%allicotte, the pitch
er, knew what had happened he was
knocked out of the box, and legal points
TO the number Of seven were registered
i'll their favor. This was a bigger dose
than the doctors anticipated, hence they
concluded to do something desperate,
and swatted the ball to the extent Of five
scores, and then goose-egged the legal
lights in one, two, three order.
In the fifth the lawyers siinnered
down to a more moderate gait, hut man
aged to rush two owe the plate, while
the doctors landed three more before
the lawyers could have them stricken
from the docket.
In the sixth inning each team secured
two runs, leaving the score 10 to Ii in
favor OF the doctors.

STATE OF KANSAS LACKS
PROTECTION FOR MONEY
Funds In Hands Of Treasurer Thomas
7. Kelly Are Held by Him Under
Bond That Is Worthless.

Topeka, Kan, dispatch: Governor
Hoch announces that nothing can be
done 10 get State Treasurer Thomas
demanded that the treasurer give a
bond OF 100000 to repair the old
bond. which was made invalid by the
Doylin failure. and which would pro-
tect the $1,000 OF the states money
on deposit in the demnct First Ma
uonal bank. Kelly refused to give tho
bond and the governor, after numer-
Gus conferences with his legal advis-
ers. decided that nothing could DO
done TO enforce the demand.
AS the matter now stands, there is
absolutely no protection for the state
funds C. J. Deylins name on Kelly's
bond IS, OF course. worthless. and sew
eral months may elapse before the
filing OF the new bond.
Most Of the money owned by the
state now Is ON deposit In various
banks outside OF Topeka as provided
by the state depository measure. At
torney General Coleman has sent no.
tlCCs TO these banks that they are not
TO send any OF this money in to the
state treasury until further orders
from him. This will obviate the nee
csslty OF the treasurer handling any
OF the money and will probably last
until the new bond is fled by Mr..
Kelly in accordance with the state
depository law.
ON account Of late developments in
the Devlin failure and the efforts on
the part OF the governor TO get the
state treasurer out Of office. II is difIi.
