Brunlze Fails Id Apnear.

The case of the state against John
Brunke was set for trial in the city
court this morning and for the second
time the defendant failed to put in an
appearance for trial. Some time ago
divorce proceedings were filed by his
wife and shortly after this he met his
wife on the street with another man
and a scene ensued which resulted in
his arrest on a charge af assault Since
these occurrences an adjustment of
the family affairs has been brought
about and Brunke feels that the mat
ter in the city court should be dropped.
Judge McCabe took a different view
this morning and issued an alias war
rant for his arrest and appearance be-
fore his judgeship in the city court
The trial of the case will proceed as
soon as the court officers manage to
secure service on the defendant. At
that time he will probably have an op-
portunity to explain to the court his
reasons for nonappearance and show
cause why he should not be fined for
contempt of court.

His appointment.
THIS MAY BLOCK II.
Senator Long Surprised at Turn
Of Affairs.
Vernon Spends S2Oin Telephone
Tolls Yesterday.
THIS MAY BLOCK IT.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Booker T.
Washington, temporarily at least, and
possibly permanently, has blocked the
nomination of Prof. W. T. Vernon as
register Of the treasury. Senator Long
called at the White House this morn
ing and was informed that the seIec-
ton of a register of the treasury would
be delayed for a month or two in order
to straighten out the tangle. Vernon
will get a good job of some sort, but
possibly not the one he wants.
Booker Washington came to Wash
ington Saturday and had an interview
with the president at night At this
time he endorsed Williams, the Chi
cago negro lawyer. Booker Washing
tons action IN this contest has sur
prised Senator Long and other meme
bers Of the Kansas delegation, who
had been led to believe that Vernon's
appointment would be thoroughly sat
isfactory to the negro educator of
Tuslzegee.
The president intends to reappoint
negroes to the offices they now hold
and the register Of the treasury is one
of the most important places now
filed by any one Of that race. When
the contest became hot between VIII
hams on one side and Vernon on the
other, the president passed the matter
over to Secretary Shaw. The secretary
made a thorough investigation and
finally. endorsed Vernon.
When it became known that Vernon
had Shaw's endorsement it was accept
ed by some of the members of the
Kansas delegation that Vernon's VIC
tory was assured. The president, how
ever, will place much dependence on
Booker Washington's recommenda.-
ton and the pronounced stand taken
by the latter has put Williams IN the
lead.
Vernon's activity in his own behalf
is shown in his untiring use Of the
long distance telephone. He called
Senator Longs Office from Kansas four
times yesterday and this morning at a
total expense of some twenty dollars.

HEARST LOSES.
Court OF Appeals Denies Appli-
cation Of His Counsel
To Open Ballot Boxes in Mayor
ality Election Contest.

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 13.-The court
of appeals in decision handed down
today in the New York city ballot box
cases sustains the contention of coun-
sci for Mayor George B. Mcclellan and
denies that of attorneys for William
Randolph Hearst and his colleagues
on the Municipal Ownership league
ticket. The court holds, as was ar
gued by former Chief Judge Parker
and his associates, that the courts
have no power under the election law
to order by mandamus the opening of
the ballot boxes and a recount and re-
canvass of ballots.
The case relates directly to the vote
for mayor, comptroller and president
of the board of aldermen cast in the
second election district of the Sixth
assembly district of New York county,
at the election of November z, last,
but is of the utmost importance in
Mr.. Hearst's contest for the mayoralty
of New York city and is fundamental
in its effect upon the electoral system
of this state under the present election
law.
The decision was rendered by
divided court, five to two, the majority
comprising Chief Judge Cullen and
Judges Gray, O'Brien, Haight and
Werner, Judges Bartlett and Vann dis
senting.

my personal opinion that the present

Three Witnesses Examined.
The first witness called was J. W.
Radford, the state grain inspector. Mr.
Radford testified as to the number of
grain elevators at Kansas City and
their capacity; the number Of mills
and their capacity. and concerning the
general grain conditions from the point
of the shippers.
John A Myers of Hutchinson, s. S.
Reynolds Of GrainheId and Geo. w
Fieser, member of the legislature from
Kingman county. were all placed on
the stand to testify to the same point,
namely, that five years ago, the rail-
road had in effect a lower rate than
at the present time on shipments of
grain from interior Kansas points to
Kansas City.
The railroad attorneys did not cross
examine any of these witnesses and
their testimony was not OF sensational
character.

pany and the two former officials are
included in one Indictment in which
there are ten counts against the COM
pany and against each of the two men.
These charges are that the railroad
company, with the sanction of the two
officers, paid illegal rebates to the
packing house firm of SchwarzschiId &
Sulzberger for the purpose of procur-
ing shipments from the concern. It is
also charged that the railroad company,
with the same object in view, gave free
transportation to employees of the pack
ing house company.
The Indictment, which was returned,
is based on testimony given to the
grand jury by B. S. Cusey, traffic man
ager for Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
who has appeared before the Jury on
two separate occasions. Cusey was one
of four employees of the packing house
firm who were indicted sometime ago
for soliciting rebates. All of them
pleaded guilty and each was fined So
600 by Judge Humphrey.
Three specific violations of the law
against the granting of rebates are
mentioned in the Indictment. The rail-
road company is charged with having
refunded 81 per car on "A cars of dress
various eastern points in December,
1908. A similar rebate is alleged to
have been paid on % cars of dressed
beef shipped from Kansas City in jan
uary. 1904 The railroad company is
also charged with having refunded So
500 in passenger fares paid by the pack
ing company between January 1, 1903
and September 1, 1904, for transporta-
ton of its officers and agents
Neither Mr.. Fairborn nor Mr.. Wann
was arrested, but they were informed
of the fact that a indictment had been
voted against them and were notified
to come into court and give bonds.
United States District Attorney Morri-
son declared that he would ask each
of them to give bonds to the amount
of $1,000. The railroad company will
be asked to enter an appearance
through one of its general officers.
