GOODWIN TO STAY.
Mayor Says He Won't Remove Him or
Accept Resignation.

Mayor W. H. Davis intimated strong
" this morning that he would do moth
ing whatever concerning the removal
of Chief of Police A. G. Goodwin.
HAS Chief Goodwin rendered his
resignation" was asked the mayor this
morning.
IF he had I would not accept it
under fire. said the mayor decislvely
and his lips compressed themselves in
a tight line. Il don't think it would be
fair to the man himself to accept a
resignation at this time or to consider
it. 1t would be doing Goodwin an in
justice"
The mayor closed up and said Moth
ing further.
1--WE have done our duty as a coun-
Gil and we can do nothing further,
said Councilman S. A. Swendson. I
did not expect that the mayor would
do anything and it is not a matter OF
surprise to me to learn of this attitude
which he has adopted. I don't think
that the council will take any further
action, in fact I can't see what they
could do. The mayor is vested with
the authority over the police; he has
the sole power
You can lead Davis but you can't
force him. said a prominent council
man this morning. II have known him
for great many years. AS long as
you let him have the opinion that he
is running things it is all right, but II
you try to use S1edge hammer methods
you lose out. It seems to me mis-
take was made when Swendson's reso-
luton was introduced. believe that
Davis would have been amenable to
reason but with the introduction of
that stringent resolution, why it sim
ply made Davis obstinate"
This view was expressed by another
councilman who has had occasion to
meet the mayor in various ways for a
number of years. HE is not a man
who can be driven into anything, .
said ne. 'I was considerably surprised
that the members of the council hadn't
learned this. am not surprised at all
to learn that he has taken this stand.
He will take his own sweet time to it.
He don't want to be forced into an ap-
Dearance of being dictated to nor does
he want to be compelled to adopt a
course of procedure"

NOT A CLUE is FOUND.
Autopsy Proves That E. NIcKibben
Was Beaten to Death.

An autopsy on the body of Ed Nc
Kibben. the man who died at Keith'st
hospital Sunday night as the result of
an attack by unknown persons, was
held at sheuabarger's undertaking
establishment this morning.
Dr. Rhodes. who conducted the au-
topsy, found that both Of McKibben's
lungs had been affected by severe blows
with some blunt instrument, and that
the spleen had been split by the force
of the blow on the left side.
DR.. Rhodes decided that the injuries
were received about 4s hours before
death. Pneumonia, caused by the con-
gestion Of blood in the lungs, was the
direct cause of McKibben's death.
An inquest will be held this afternoon
The detectives have been unable to find
any clues, and the officers Of Jackson
county have been notified that McKib-
ben probably received his injuries in
some camp on the Union Pacific cutoff,
where he had been working.
Two brothers. George and Gale Nc
Kfbben. os Atchison, came to Topeka
this morning.

HOW BOULDER PLAYS.
X. Z. and Washburn VIII Find the
Colorado Team Hustlers.

Boulder, Col, Oct. 24.-Boulder is in
great rejoicing over the result of the
game with Wyoming. With seven min
utes left to play in the second half of
two wenty-five-minute periods, the
score stood So to in ColoradO's favor.
Formations like clockworks clever
headwork and lodging on the part of
Captain Roberts, Galley, Moore, Frud-
gian, Christensen, Salberg and Farms
worth made the varsity attacks ire
sistible.
Though the Wyoming boys put up a
plueIy and dogged defense they were
unable to make their downs. Their
weight was fifteen pounds less to the
man, so that the ColOradoans plunged
through the visitors lines regularly for
gains of five to fifteen yards. When
the visitors had got the ball and were
forced to kick on third downs, Farms
worth broke through and blocked their
punts.
Wyoming people pronounce the
Colorado team far superior to the Utah
and Mines elevens whom they have
already played.
This is the team that K. U. will play
next Saturday and later Washburn will
play.

TO POLICY HOLDERS.
Col Little Suggests That Kansas In
surers in New York Life Organize.

To the Editor of The State Journal:
The pOIcyholders of the New York Life
Insurance company can easily elect Off
GERS who will administer the company s
affairs in the interests of the policyhold-
ers To do this it is not necessary that
they should send the proxies to somebody
in the east they do not know.
Permit me to suggest that the policy
holders in Kansas hold state convention
at Topeka and by vote select some Kan
sas policyholders to attend the next cleo
tiOn of officers and cast the votes of the
pOllcyholders from Kansas. If this were
done they could be represented by some
body they knew and without doubt other
states would follow their example and we
could have a revolution in the affairs of
the company such as is very much de
sired The pOlicyhOlders in each county
could designate representatives from that
county to go to Topeka.
If Gov. HOch will name the day I will
agree as one policyholder to come from
Abilene to Topeka for that purpose and
believe that practically every pOlicyhold-
er in Kansas would back up such prop
Osition. This is a very simple easy and
practical method and viii reach the de-
sired conclusion with a minimum of ex-
pense and trouble I write this as a poll
cyholder who has an interest in his pol
icy. ] viii contribute my share of the
expense in sending one or more good men
to New York for this purpose.

Two JOINTS ARE RATDED.
An Applicant for Job on Police Force
Found in One.

The police became busy last night
and raided two joints, the Gregg place
in North Topeka and the Luttjohn place
back of the Midland hotel. Officers
visited several other places with war
rants, but found the rooms unoccupied-
Chief Goodwin swore to the complaints.
At the North Topeka place, 500 Kan
sas avenue. Homer Gregg, who has
been one of the many applicants for the
job of patrol driver. vacated by W. S.
White, was found in charge. The largest,
heaviest bar ever captured by the To-
peka police was found in his place, and
the officers had considerable difficulty
in removing it to the station. Beside
bars the police captured a lot of wet
goods, beer. whisky and gin.
At the Fourth street place Henry
Luttjohn, keeper. and George Davis,
who was found in the place wearing a
white apron. were arrested, and the
bar fixtures and numerous kegs. and
bottles of liquor confscated. The ice
chest was too big to haul away, 50 the
officers dismantled and left it.

The Newark Advertiser does not ap-
prove the plan to erect monument to
the late General Sewel at the expense
of the State. It says
The revival of the project of an eques-
trian statue to the late William j. Sew
ell, to be paid for by a legislative ap-
preparation, is not well advised. A pub
lie memorial Of any kind, paid for by
private subscription, as was the statue
to yice-President Hobart at Paterson,
and the statue TO Frelinghuysen in Mill
tary park, would meet with no objection.
Nobody proposed that the State should
pay for the Hobart or Frelinghuysen
memorial.
General Sewell had hosts of friends in
the State when he was alive. To many
men who have survived him he was a
benefactor. He dispensed offices and
enioluments with lavish hand. He
made Governors, judges and State of
fcers by a mere expression of his wishes.
He helped many men in business life to
acquire wealth. The beneficiaries of
William ]. Sewell would exhibit only or
binary gratitude if they should subscribe
the whole amount necessary for public
statue. There are friends and admirers
of Sewell who would doubtless be glad to
testify their regard for the dead by sub
scribing to a statue fund.
If the State Legislature is to appropri-
ate money to honor the memories of de-
parted public men with monuments it
should begin with those who did distin-
guished service for the State or who
were illustrious in the service of the ma
ton. 1t cannot be claimed that William
]. sewell was pre-eminent among Jersey
men in these respects. He was gall
liant soldier in the Civil War, but the
State has not yet honored the memory of
Phil Kearny, or of General Mott, or
other distinguished soldiers. There is no
statue to that splendid sailor, Commo-
dore Stockton, and none to the Jersey
men who won fame in the war of the
revolution.

of large number of complaints through
