Governor Says That He Had Not
Heard That
Kelly Had Not Returned the
Money Taken.
SUPPOSED OF COURSE
That Treasurer Had Obeyed
Gubernator1aI Mandate.
'sWhere Ignorance Is Bliss, 'Tis
Folly to Be Wise.'

Governor Hoeh Is a regular subscriber
to the State Journal, pays ten cents u
week for it, for the six evening issues
and the one Sunday morning paper,
but he is a busy man and is not always
at home when the paper arrives.
Asked this morning whether he had
observed the story in Thursday even
ing's paper concerning the failure Of
State Treasurer Kelly to return the
1000 that he drew from the state to
Il didn't see the story"
When informed of its contents he
said:
4 had supposed that Of course Mr..
Kelly had returned the $1,000"
What are you going to do about
it % was asked.
7 don't care to discuss that now
said the governor. Il haven't thought
about it."
State Treasurer Kelly himself
seemed TO be amused by the state
ment that he had never really paid
out the $4,000 for the bond, although
the money had been drawn from the
state.
I wish I knew he said. where I
could get d bond for nothing. Tn
fortunately I am unable to find any
body who is viii to do business on
that basis"
rs the statement true was asked,
that you have not returned that $2,-

Mr.. Kelly gave an evasive reply. de-
elining to answer the direct question.
If the editor of the State Journal
had yesterday taken Sc, 600 that did
not belong to him, he would have been
in jail today. or been obliged to give q
big bond for his appearance-bu Kel-
"; well, Kelly and Devlin did as they
pleased and like Tweed of old, stand
back or go to Europe and say: "Well

NO DIVIDENDS.
DepositOrs of the Defunct First
National Bank
Will Not Get Anything at
Present.
THEY MUST WAIT.
THEY MI
WAIT.
Receiver Bradley Makes the
Announcement Today.
Matter Of Preference, He Says,
Must Be Decided First.

A dividend to the deDositors of the
First National bank viii not be paid
until the matter of preference regard
ing some Of the claims of the depositors,
such as the state, the county and the
city's are adjusted.
This announcement was made this
morning by Receiver J. T. Bradley of
the First National. He promises, how
ever, that this settlement of preferences
will be forthcoming in a short while.
Until the status of some of these
large claimants is settled first we can't
proceed to declare a dividend said he
this morning. 1--WE are working on this
matter now and it is shaping itself
around We will be able to bring It
about in a short while. There would
be no use in declaring a dividend and
start to pay it out and then be held
back from making payments by a re-
straining order from these claimants
who think their accounts should be
shown a preference. Such an act would
only throw things in worse confusion.
For that reason we don't want to set
tie upon any payments of dividends IN
til this matter of preferences has been
clearly settled.
However slight their claim of posi-
tion may be on the matter of a prefer
ence they don't want to relinquish it.
A man never wants to give up any
slight advantage which he may have.
believe most Of these claimants will
be content with the decision Of the
comptroller of the currency on this mat
ter; it is possible however that some
of them may not be content apd win
endeavor to bring suit"
''T think it is rank said Mayor W.
H. Davis this morning with reference
to the delay of the payment Of a
dividend s'I believe that they ought
to declare a dividend, no matter how
small it may be.
There are a lot of people who need
the money and they need it badly.
Others have plenty of money and can
afford to wait but anyone who had
lortything to do with the bank right
after It failed should be able to re.
member the way some of those def
pOsitors were caught.
"a great number of people check
edFon their deposits daily. They paid
for their clothes and food that way
and when the crash came they were
caught in actual want. They should
declare dividends just as often as they
could possibly declare them, regard
less of the amount No matter if they
are small they should be paid. Il
would tend to relieve a great deal OF
want and suffering

FOSTER SEES HOCH.
Talk Over Joint Situation-Both Re-
fuse to Be interviewed.

''T can't say a word; have given
my promise. and I can't talk
This is the statement made by
Frank Foster of Topeka as he emerged
from a conference with Governor
Hoch this morning which lasted for
nearly an hour and which was un-
doubtedly about the joint situation in
Topeka
It is believed that something of in
terest is likely to take place soon con-
cerning the local situation, but what it
is remains mystery. Assistant Attor-
ney General Carver seems to be quiet
and the statement was given out some
days ago that there would be some-
thing happen when Attorney General
Coleman returns"
Governor Hoch was asked this morn
ing what developments are taking
place in the joint proposition, and said,
as usual, that he could say nothing
what about the interview with
Frank Foster?' was asked.
The governor smiled Sagely.
Are you going to appoint L. w
Keplinger as assistant attorney general
in WyandOtte county % was asked.
f'I haven't anything to say about
that situation just now,' replied the
governor.
Mr.. Keplinger is attorney for the
firm of Keplinger & TFickett, and came
to Topeka Thursday night for a con-
ference with Attorney General Cole
man and Governor Hoch. It is said
that it has been decided that Keplinger
will be apDOinted.

DRENNING GIVES UP.
Drops Ten Liquor Cases After Losing
One.

City Attorney F. G. Drenning made
good his boast that "he would set the
law violators squirming." But the
squirming seems to have been to the
benefit of the violators as they man
aged to squirm loose and not a single
conviction was secured although II
cases were on the docket for trial to-
day.
The first case called for trial was
the case of the City VS.. Roy Daniels
who was charged with maintaining d
nuisance at Ala Kansas avenue, the
place Familiarity known as the Owl.
This case went to the jury this morn
ing and they very promptly returned
a verdict of not guilty though the
place is one of the most notorious III
town and one of the few places that
never has been closed even tenn
porarily.
The failure of the jury to convict in
this case taken in connection with the
failure of his efforts yesterday seemed
to take the wind out of the sails of the
city attorney and he Immediately pro-
ceeded to dismiss the other ten cases
that had been placed on the docket for
trial today. The cases were mostly
cases brought under the reign Of Chief
of Police Frank StahI and were cases
where the defendants We're charged
with being found in disorderly houses.
The city attorney claims that the
cases were brought without sufficient
evidence having been secured. The
only culprit IN the lot to lose by being
arrested on the charge was one ". B.

Attorney Sehoch is in consultation
with County Attorney Otis Hungate and
injunction proceedings viii be instituted
Immediately.
"Of course we are going to fight it,
said Major Anderson this afternoon.
We are going to make it hot for them,
too. The expression is general against
allowing the Auditorium to be used for
a purpose of that character. The busi-
ness men up and down the streets are
all os one mind aboIst a.
1--WE have engaged w. H. Schoch to
fight the letting of the Auditorium for
that purpose and we propose to win
the suit. One prominent business man
said that he would be one of fifty to
put up 800 to build a hall for the
chicken show; that shows the spirit
with which it is regarded"
The suit is to be brought on the
grounds that the show is injurious to
the pipe organ and that it distinctly
hampers the enjoyment of the public
in the use of the Auditorium Wit
nesses will be introduced to testify to
this affect
