JOHN A. LIE E AGAIN.
Says He Is Tired of Being
Criticised, Abused and
Denounced.

jefferson City, Mo-, March -.
Speculation regarding the Grand
Jury which is to convene to-mOr.
row has narrowed down to whether
John A. Lee will be made a de.
PENDANT because of his testimony
before one of the Cole County
grand juries.
Attorney General has received a
letter from John a. Lee, supposed
to be written in Evanston I'll. but
pOstmarked st. Louis, last Satur-
day, in which he SAID he was not
fit mentally, physically or iinan-
cially to be hauled before juries any
more. to be crit cised, abused and
denounced
In reply to this letter, Mr.. Had.
lev wrote that it would be to his in
terest TO come. Tonight Mr..
Hadley tr led to get Lee over the
lOng.distance telephone, but was
told by the Chicago operator that
he would not come to the phone.
Mr.. HadIey does not expect Lee to
appear.
Causing CONSERVATION to the
pass hunters, the Attorney Cen
eral has summoned Colonel w. II.
Phelps of Carthage. The subpoe-
ma was marked served" but
doubling ones insist that the Col
Onel may not be here.
When he departed last week he
was suffering from "A severe strain,
which threatened to send him to
West Baden. Whether he will be
able to return before the session
adjourns only Phelps and his ply
stefan know.
Just what Mr.. IIadlcy has
learned about the big bills of two
years ago is nor known. Cole
Hickox was here Sunday. /. l..
Page will be subpoenacd if the
bribery. witness bill passes the
Senate tomorrow Editor Page re.
fused to tell anything about the
$1,000 bill which he had changed
in jefferson City last session.
Prosecuting Attorney NJ. p.
BeIch, Democrat, is opposed to
going into any information. The
expense Of long Grand Jury SEES.
sion does not appeal to Mr.. Belch.
though the General Assembly will
reimburse Cole County for money
spent in the previous investigation.
Many Republicans are showing
the lack of intelligent leadership
by opposing the the passage of
this bill, but it is hardly thought
this opposition will dwlndle away
before it will come into the open.

There was no debate preceding
action on the bill
1t is recalled that two years ago
Cole Z. IlickOX of California and
Irwin l.. Page of Bonnie Terre,
Mo, refused to tell the Cole grand
jury whence they had obtained
bills Of large denomination which
hand come into their possession.
Page had a 81 600 and Ilickox two
Of the 500 denomination They
say TO divuIge the source of their
sudden prosperity would subjcte
them to criminal prosecution
If the anti.bribcry bill was on
the statute books, HickoX and
Page could be compelled to testify.
This is the first measure Gov.
Folk has champioued and failed to
pass. Some day there will be an
explosion II ere and the story OF
the defeat Of this bill will be told
in the rcmotest corner Of Missouri.
More politics than anything
else behind the defeat Of the bill.
After the result had been AN.
nounced several minutes, Senator
b radlry arose and said he had
been improperly recorded as not
voting. He asked to have his vote
recorded as voting aye. The
clerk had not heard him, neither
had the reporters ut the senate, as
Il favor, put his name on the rec
ord rs voting for the bill. Senator
Walker moved that the clerk be
instructed to record Senator Az
cry as having voted for the bill.
Avery was in the house Of repre-
scntatives when the roll was called.
The senate authorized Avery's
name so recorded so that the rec
ord shows Avery rs voting for the
bill and makes the aye vote l3
votes.
The bill which was defeated has
some features that were considered
revolutionary by people who do
not regard bribery us in class by
itself in crimimoIogy, Gov. Folk
will make something of an issue of
the bill. 1t will he heard of often
hereafter aud probably will be-
come Il very vital factor in future
politics.

Wheat Harvest Being Pushed and
Good Yield.

| For the Reflector.
CHAPMAN, Kas., June 26.-The
wheat in this vicinity 10 the finest
crop that we have had for years. On
the river bottoms it is very heavy
and we'll filled and stands up we'll
which makes it less difficult for the
binders. Farmers as general thing
are making better time and cutting,
more acres per day than they usually
do The wheat on Chapman creek
bottoms is just as heavy as on the
river bottoms, while ON the uplands
it is very uneven. Some fields are
heavy while other fields are heavy in
spots, the corn stock wheat being
generally pretty light. About two
thirds Of the acreage OF this time Is in
the shock. This week will finish all
the harvesting il the weather stays
favorable. Threshing machines will
commence threshing Tuesday in some
Of the fields Of early soft wheat.
1t is the general opinion here that
Noble township has the best wheat
crop that has been raised here in
number Of years, In quality of grain
and yield per acre. The acreage 10
not quite ss large as in some Of the
past years but at this same time there
are some large fields.
J. W. Shepherd, two miles esst Of
town, has 800 acres on the river
bottom all Of which is very heavy and
over one.half of which will average 40
bushels per acre.
A. H. 0esterhaus has 100 acres one
lalf mile east of town vAriously esti-
mated at 80 to 45 bushels per acre.
P. Seaman has 200 acres on the
POTION southwest Of town which will
make all round 80 bushels per acre,
M. P. Sapborn has ITO acres south
1 town on upland that will yield rs
o IS bushels per acre.
o. L. Thisler has wheat that will
make IS bushels. Could mention
ozsns OF farmers that have from 80
0 $50 acres all Of which will make
6s yields.

Anticipating the presidents state
ment concerning Paul MortOn's re-
spousibility for the violation Of the
interstate commerce Law, BY tbeSsnta
Fe, the Outlook Of last week has the
following comment which seems to
set forth very sensible and reason
able view OF the principle involved 10
the &C ntroverSy.
The question at issue" says the
Outlook, sis believed to be whether
Mr.. Paul Morton, who was 40 officer
Of the Santa Fe railroad when the re-
bates were granted, should be per-
Sonally prosecuted, as well as the
corporation, for this violation Of the
law. And 1t 10 assumed 10 certain
quarters that the reason why Mr..
Morton Is not to be prosecuted is that
he 10 q personal friend Of the prssi-
dent, and Is member OF the presi.
dents cabinet. We do not wait for
the promised official statement OF the
question, because 1t 10 easier to fore.
stall false impression than to cor
rect 1t after It has been produced. 1t
is 9 recognised principle Of law, the
justice Of which 10 apparent upon the
mere statement Of 1t, that while Q
partner is responsible commercially,
he Is not responsible criminally, for
the acts Of his partner. II one mem
Der Of Q firm makes firm note, the
other partners are bound by 1t; but
II he forges Q note. the other partners
Gan not be sent to jail for it; II he
buys goods In the partnership name,
The other partners are liable for the
iebt; but II he adulterates goods the
,ther partners can not be punished
OR the adulteration, unless they can
20 proved to have had guilty knowl'
'dge Of the transaction. In other
words, crime is purely personal act.
The same principle applies to corpora
ions. II a corporation violates law,
can be punished, and indirectly all
be officers, and indeed all the stock
olders, will suffer in consequence.
md the officer or officers Of the cor.
Grafton who directly participated in
