NOW COLEMAN DENIES.
Says That He Never Said He Would
Sue Bailey.

Attorney General Coleman appears
to take exceptions to an editorial
which appeared in the State Journal
on Saturday, referring to Mr.. Cole
mans alleged statement that he in
tends to sue Governor Bailey for the
return of the money which Governor
Bailey used for the maintenance of
the executive residence on the advice
of the attorney general, but which the
supreme court has since decided was
used wrongfully.
The State Journal innocently asked
when Mr.. Coleman intended to bring
suit to get back into the state treas
uIy the $4,000 which has been posi-
lively stolen from the treasury, and
concerning which Mr.. Coleman has
the data in his possession.
Mr.. Coleman has at times been re-
ticent about talking to the State
Journal, but he sometimes gives to
other neWspapers his intentiOns-if he
has any. The Kansas City Star of
Friday, April Z, contained the follow
ing:
Topeka. April TT am willing to
allow Ex-Governor Bailey a reasonable
length of time in which to pay back
the money he used for his groceries
before beginning suit against him
said Attorney General Coleman today.
Asked what ne regarded as a reason
bic length of time Mr.. Coleman said.
g We'll. I think the ex-governor
should have some time in which to
put up the money. I simply want to
know that he does not intend paying
it back before I commence action
ct has been estimated that the
amount due the state from Mr. Bailey
is about $1,000. He expended $4,000
of his maintenance fund provided for
the executive mansion by the legis-
lature but at least $500 of this Went
for repairs and keeping up the
grounds. The attorney general has
never written to the ex-governor in
regard to the latter's debt to the state
It is expected that some action viii be
taken before the supreme court ad-
journs for the summer vacation
This interview with Mr.. Coleman
has been reproduced elsewhere, and it
was on the strength of this statement
that the State Journals editorial was
published. Now the following ap-
pears in a Topeka paper;
Regarding a piece in the Topeka
State Journal about his speed, At
torney General Coleman says.
Any newspaper or person who
states that I have ever said a word
about bringing an action of any kind
against Ex-Governor Bailey speaks a
falsehood.
s''Any actions shown to be neces-
sary or proper by the investigation
promised by Governor Hoch, and au-
thorized by the last legislature. will be
promptly prosecuted, but they will not
be announced beforehand through any
newspaper or other third party. Meth
er will they be commenced until the
investigation is made, although all the
''dogs of Egypt or Kansas may join
in the yelp. "

HAzEN LOSES IT,
Judge Dana Sustains the City
Liquor Law.
Isn't in Violation of the City
Charter Act.

Judge Dana, in the district court,
this afternoon decided that the city
ordinance regulating the sale of liquor
is good and that it is not in violation
of the city charter law.
The ordinance was attacked by z.
T. Hazen on a motion to quash the
cases of Vincent Kaczynski and R. F.
Hodgins, who were arrested and
charged with violation of the ordi-
nance by Chief of Police Stahl. Ha-
zen claimed that because the city
charter law provides that the penal
ties for the violation of the prohibi-
tory law shall be a fine of not less
than 500 nor more than $500 and
Jail imprisonment of not less than 80
days nor more than six months, and
the city ordinance provides that the
Jail sentence shall be from 80 to so
days. that the city ordinance was void
because it did not provide for exactly
the same jail sentence as the city
charter act.
The finding of the city ordinance void
would mean that 15s appealed liquor
cases, brought in the police court on ac-
count of raids by Stahl, and appealed
to the district court would be wiped out
Judge Dana held that as the mimi
mum fine and maximum fine and the
minimum jail sentence and maximum
jail sentences of the ordinance are
within the maXimuIns and minimurns of
the city charter act that the ordinance
is within the scope Of the charter act
and is not void.
The question will be brought before
the supreme court at once by Judge
Hazen in an application for a writ of
habeas corpus in another case.

Tuberculosis.

Atlanta, April 1S.-Dr. Augustus P,
Clarke of Cambridge, Mass, delivered
an address of Some clinical expert
ences in the treatment and preventing

losis congress today. He said in part:
1.-The suppression OF or the greater re
striction against the carrying on of
noxious trades or methods OF manufac-
ture has often been attended with ben
eft. The Withholding of licenses OF sta
bles unless such buildings or premises
were made to conform to the require
roents Of the public statutes and the
location to be used was sufficiently re-
mote from surrounding dwellings, mas
been instrumental for great good IN
deed the boards of health have IN our
own state almost unlimited power Tor
the suppression of practices that Would

notwithstanding all this, matters now
and then have been allowed TO go 70
such an extent hat they have been faI
from being innOcuous. It may be sa1o
tI,at the boards Of health possess almost
unrestricted power for the abatement
OF IInsanitary conditions, the same docs
not hold true for allowing such condl-
tions to continue. Such members are
amenable to the appointing power and
may be subject to the action OF the
grand jury.
