LAW DECIDED BY
! GAME OF POKER
N
Kansas Legislature Committee
Settled Tangle by Playing
Freeze-Out.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 14-The congress
sional apportionment act. adopted by
the legislature of 1883, which now is in
the statute book, was won in poker
edly, for it is literally true that dead
lock in the senate committee on con-
gressional eapportionment was broken
by freeze-out game Of draw poker.
There were two bills, and one was put
up against the other on the issue of the
game. The bill which now is the law
won and was made the majority report
of the committee. This gave it the adj
vantage and it was adopted by the
senate. .. - .......- 49,. :
The committee consisted Of thirteen
members, but for some reason one did
not participate in the, deliberations, and
SO it came that day after day and week
after week the vote between the two
bills was tie There were seven SEN
ators who were candidates for congress,
and they lived in what afterward be-
came the second, third, fourth and fifth
congressional districts They were w.
J. Buchan Of Wyandotte county, E. F.
Ware of Bourbon, E.. H. Funston Of
Allen, R: w. Blue Of Linn, w. P. Hack
ney Of Cowley, Harrison Kelley Of Cof-
fey. and Perry Hutchinson Of Marshall.
A. P. Riddle, who was lieutenant gov
ernor,. made them all members Of the
superintendent committee, which gave
no candidate the advantage, and the
aside and watched the contest.
The committee met in a room Of the
Copeland hotel every afternoon and
night Many bills were brought in,
but finally all were rejected except
two, and the advocates Of each stub
bornly fought for the majority report.
The IN thirteenth member might have set
tied the issue with the. stroke of a pen,
but he refused to go into the contest,
February, when one night Mr.. Buchan
proposed that the seven candidates
take out an equal number Of matches
apiece and play poker until one man
had frozen out all the others, which
would give him the right to select the
bill that should be the majority report
Of the committee.
It has been published that the poker
game settled the contention, but that is
for the successful bill the right Of way
on the senate calendar. Both were re-
ported and the issue was fought out on
the floor Of the senate.
The proposal to submit the question
to game Of poker was made by Mr..
Buchan. All were willing except Mr..
Funston and Mr.. Kelley, who demurred,
saying Iney knew nOth1ng OF tne game.
When they finally consented and began
ness was not marker to their skill.
IT was hard game; Mr.. Buchan
said. We soon froze out Blue and
Hackney. Hutchinson dropped out by
IL clock. This left only four in the
game, and it happened that each bill
had two champions. Ware and [ were
for one bill and Kelley and Funston
for the other. y
while the four played Hackney, Blue
and Hutchinson looked on. The story
Of the game soon reached the hotel
lobby, and politicians who lived in the
house crowded the room and guyed the
players. At 10 O'Clock Funston lost
his last match and dropped out.
1t is nonsense, he said. Think
of settling this question by cards! :,

WINTER SPORTS. AND PAS7ZlZES.
BADGER BANK IS
BADLY BUNGED
All That Minnesota Money Must
Go to Pay Up
Bills.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Madison. Wis, JAN 14.-George F. Downer.
the graduate manager of athletics of the
University Of Wisconsin,, has discovered a sur
prising state of affairs in the finances of his
department, which, he says, is an abomlnable
Inheritance from the former manager, Charles
II. Fitzpatrick.
It was supposed that the badgers finished the
football season several thousand dollars to the
good that all bills paid and goodly stack
of cash was on hand for the support OF the
track and basebell teams and the crews which
are always dependent upon the profits OF the
football season.
Manager Downer complains that he finds a
great pile of unpaid bills and depleted treas
ury, and he says he will make report public
as to the exact situation. Bills that. were due
months ago and should have been paid have not
been settled, and the creditors pressing for
payment but the money is not available.
e Mr. Downer does not now make any charges
OF dishonesty against Mr.. Kirkpatrick, but de-
clares the management bad and that the
statement given out that the Athletic association
was free from debt and had money in the bank
is utterly false and that he wants 1t to be
known.
1t appears that there remain some matters not
cleared up by the former manager, who now
resides in Chicago, but there is no charge OF
'sgrafting' made against Mr.. Kilpa trick. The
disclosure Of the fact that the Athletic asso-
citation Of Wisconsin is still povertE-stricken and
in debt has caused distinct sensation here as
the exact opposite impression prevailed. and
an investigation will be made, it is said. not
to convict anybody OF stealing. but to gather
lessons Of promptness of payment and good bust
ness management for the future

Buchan began to cross-lift Kelley.
''The milking process has set in,'
observed bystander.
Whenever either conspirator would
get a good "hand' and catch Kelley
"in'' the other would, raise and so by
repeated raises Kelley was mulcted Of
his matches. Finally at 2 o'clock KEEL
minutes Ware let Buchan freeze him
out and their bill won. .,..
| MI. Buchan was late arriving in the
senate chamber next morning, and Mr..
Funston sought to take a short turn
on him by offering the other bill as the
majority report. But "Bill' Hackney
protested, saying that the, other bill
had fairly won in the poker game and
should be given the right of way. This
set the senators to laughing and, amid
much merriment, but after sharp de-
bate, the Buchan bill was passed and
sent to the house, where it was adopted
| without change. ~
While they lost in the poker game,
Mr.. Funston and Mr.. Kelleywon in their
respective, congressional conventions
and served in congress until the popu-
list tidal wave, Mr.. Kelley going down
in 1890 and Mr.. Funston in 1892.
Mr.. Kelley became a populist after
his defeat and died in 1897. MIR. Bu-
chan was defeated for state senator in
1890, and since then has mixed little
in politics. Mr.. Ware moved from
Bourbon county to Shawnee and has
just resigned the office Of commissioner
of pensions. Mr.. Blue moved from
Linn county to Cherokee and has served
one term as representative at large.
Mr.. Hackney moved to Ohio in 1898
becoming a democrat, but he is now
back in Cowley county and is repub-
| lican again. This winter he will be
4 in the legislature. Mr.. Hutchinson still
lives in Marshall county. Mr.. Funston
is living on his farm in Allen county.
