THAT LIBEL SUIT.
Other Newspapers More Worried Than
This One.

The chief counsel of the State Jour
nal in the $4,000 libel suit is sick in
bed and very naturally the case could
not be taken up today There appears
to be q rather unfair, not TO say un-
friendly, studied effort upon the part of
two or three newspapers to criticise
the State Journal because it was not
willing TO have the case tried today
during the inability of the lawyer who
has charge OF it to conduct the case
Mr.. Waggener was the counsel en-
gagged by Ar. AfacLennan to represent
him. Mr.. Waggener desired Mr.. Hack
ney ana Mr.. Waters to assist in the
case
The State Journal has been anxious
TO put this matter to trial, but 1t has
been deferred heretofore by the action
OF the plaintiffs. It is difficult to see
how any fair minded person could con-
stTue the serious illness of Mr. Wag-
gener to be in any sense an evidence Of
any desire upon the part Of the defense
to postpone the case Mr. MacLennan
is not an attorney and does not expect
to try his own case Neither do the
assistant attorneys desire to handle q
case involving $4,000 with the chief
counsel sick in bed.
Mr.. Coleman apparently has little to
lose and $4,000 to gain as his third of
the S45 GEO asked. He is quoted this
morning as saving that one Of his at
tOrneyS, Mr. HeSsin, is going to Europe
shortly, and that the case could not be
heard while he is away. Mr.. Coleman
is also quoted as saying that he would
not permit the absence of one Of his
attorneys to interfere with the trial As
Mr.. Hessin was brought into the case
some time after it began. It is accord
ingly. possible that the trial may be Sc
cured in a few days during Mr. Hsssin' $
absence. Mr.. Coleman is an attorney
himself and doubtless could take care
of his side with the assistance of his
three other lawyers who are not going

LEASE HEARD FROM
Wants Governor to Reimburse Her for
Fighting for Her Rights.

Mary Elizabeth Lease, of 81 East
one Hundred and TWenty-secOnd
street, Manhattan, New York city.
would like to have Governor HOch
take about S1,320.T0 out Of his con-
tingent fund for the purpose of pay
ing the bills which she contracted
fighting for her place on the state
board of charities and which the Pop
ulist legislature refused to allow her.
Mrs. Lease appeals to Governor
Hoch because she thinks he viii give
her a sQuarer deal than her erstwhiie
Populist brethren She says in a let
ter to the governor:
Because / believe in the ultimate
triumph of right and that you as the
chief executive of the state of Kansas
VIII accord me an impartial hearing.
I respectfully submit the following
claim.
s'The state records viii show that
the Leweiling administration sought
TO depose me from the position of
member of the state board of chart
ties demanded hearing as I was
conscious Of no Onense save refusing
to appoint at dwellings request sew
eral Democrats who came up for Of
fee
Governor Lewelling refused to hear
Mrs Leases case. and she therefore
took the matter into the suprem e
court. where she got a unanimous de-
cision in her favor. Afterwa rds she
tried TO get the PopuHst legislature to
allow her for the money which she
spent fighting for her rights, and fail
ed. She cites several instances to
show that the governor is authorized
TO pay such claims out of his con-
tingent fund.
Governor Hoch has not vet RENTED
the money which MIS- Lease wants.
Just when he win do so is rather
doubtful The bill which Mrs. Lease
files is as follows:

suits without fighting pitched battles

island was involved. His military
tactics caused him to be criticised and

confident enemy, falling unexpectedly
on their rear and turning apparent de-

Perhaps his most remarkable
achievement was at the battle of Sar-
atoga. where he hastily gathered SOC
men to meet the advancing columns
Of Gen. Castellanos. With his little
force of 800 and odd he met. defeated
and drove back the 2,6OO Spanish
troops under Castellanos in spite of
the artillery and unlimited ammunl-

four days. Gomez lost 65 killed and
