the Automobile association, started
out for a spin in his automobile the
other day, and everything worked
finely until he reached Broadway and
Seventy-second street Then the ma

part could induce it to go.
He worked away until he was ran
idly getting into state that he felt
could only be relieved by strong Lam

children made him refrain from ex-
pressing hlmselI: In the group was a
little girl with long golden hair and

it seemed as If he really must saw
something. and, turning to the little
miss, he said:

LIKES THE NEW BUILDING.
George r. Peck Commends Enterprise
of Topeka Club.

Geo. R. Peck of Chicago, the general
attorney for the c. NJ. e. St Paul TALL
road, was in Topeka to attend the meet
ing of the DeVlin creditors. In speaking
of the great bank collapse in chicago,
Mr.. Peck said:
All this happened since I left Chicago,
and 1 am not posted on any details ex-
cept what I have read in the papers. I
know MT Walsh very well, AnG he is a
very able man. was much surprise d
to hear of the affair. In many ways it
seems to be like the Oevlin situation.
Mr. Walsh seems to have handled his
finances in a similar way to Mr.. Dew in.
There are no new Developments IL the
place at the meeting mere The arrange
ment made here for the appointment Of
trustees seems to be satisfactory.
I went over and visited the new To-
peka club yesterday, and an greatly
pleased with it. It certainly IS a fine
club building, and is a credit to Topeka.
It is great thing for a. town to have
that sort of an institution; it gives the
business men OF the town a place at
which they can entertain their friends.
Asked concerning the opinion held by
railroad men on President Roo sevelt' s
utterances on the railroad situation in
his recent message, Mr. Peck said:
From what have heard, judge that
the railroad people are very well salts
fed with President Roosevelt's messag &c.
1t nleases them because it is more con-
sentative than they had expected"
Concerning the Fred Dumont Smith
affair Mr.. Peck said: Il knew Mr.. Smith
slightly. and must say that the affair is
greatly to be depiored. I don't know a
thing about the merits of the case

FORAKER'S POINT.
Shows Where Courts Operate Faster
Than Interstate Commission.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-In the sen
ate today Mr.. Foraker obtained leave
to have printed the record in a number
of cases recently before the interstate
commerce commission involving
charges of discrimination in beef ship
ments.
He said that after taking -cognizance
of the cases the commission had not
reached its conclusion for almost
three years, whereas the United States
court for the northern district of Hi
nois had taken the matter up and
reached a final decision within five or
six months.
The matter had been introduced, he
said for the purpose of showing that ex-
listing law affords a remedy for many
of the evils of which COM plant is made
and also to show that there ls greater
celebrity in the courts than in the inter
state commerce commission
The court had, he said, reversed the
finding of the commission and he said
that If the commissions decision had
gone into immediate effect the railroad
company would have suffered a wrong
full loss of $4,000, 900.
The senate went in executive session
at 127 p. m. and at 2:10 adjourned.

TAKE IN ADDITIONS.
This Is Discussed by the City
Council.

The taking in of certain tracts,
plated and unplatted, adjoining the
city limits will be considered at a
meeting of the ways and means COM
mittee of the council this evening.
The principal tract is the Heery and
Norton addition which contains some
$500 residents and over which To-
peka and Oakland are at war. the re-
naming tracts are NIelrose addition,
lying west of the city between Sixth
and Tenth avenues; a small tract ly-
ing east of Topeka avenue and south
of Twenty-hrst street; the two blocks
on the west side of College avenue
and extending south from Huntoon
to the city limits and Boswell avenue,
running north two blocks from Sew
enteenth street.
These latter enjoy all the privileges
Of paved streets with electric lights
and connection by private sewer with
the cfty's sewers and yet pay none
of the taxes which city property is
assessed with.
How to connect Heery and Norton
addition with the city in order to
take it in is the question which is
bothering the committee. There is
some intervening unplatted land which
makes it difficult to extend the city s
limits SO that it will touch the addi-
ton.
An ordinance raising the salaries of
the sanitary department will be acted
upon by the committee. The ordinance
Will be recommended back for passage
and will probably be formally passed
by the city council Friday evening.
Under the ordinance the salary of
the city physician is Increased from
$55 to SIS month, the sanitary ser
geant from $55 to $65 and the four
policemen from s55 to $50 The in
crease viii probably become effective
with the beginning of January.
Funny requests are made on the
mayor. One of the latest is from W.
H. Charley of Paterson, N. J., who
incIoses five cents and asks the mayor
to send him a souvenir postal card of
the city building. He is collecting
them from all over the United tSates.

IN AT THE DEATH.
James Holstine Claims That He Saw
Two Murders.

James Holstine seems to be a. very
omnipresent Individual in Cherokee
county. A few days.ago he fled an affi-
davit with Governor Hoch stating that
he was an eyewitness of the killing of
Frank Bruner, the ex-Topeka base ball
player, by Charles Parmenter, a saloon
keeper. His affidavit laid the blame
wholly upon Bruner. and tended 20 clear
Parmenter, who wants d pardon.
Holstine says that he did not testify in
that case because he left the state and
did not know when the case was tried.
Today Mr.. Holstine flies another SEN
sational affidavit in support of an ap-
plieation for pardon for John Maxwell
Again Mr. Holstine seems to have been
Johnny -the-spot, for he claims that
he saw fight in which Maxwell Killed
one Owen Fern. Holstine says that
Fern attacked Maxwell. and Maxwell
killed him in self defense. EIe also says
that friends of Fern came to Kim, md
told him that if he testified in the case,
they would do him NJ, and ne left the
state to avoid testifying.
There is a strong effort being made
to get d pardon for Maxwell. Judge
Slzidmore and number of other
prominent Cherikee county people
called on Governor Hoch this morn
was convicted of mansIaughter in the
second degree on May 6, 1905. and
sentenced to serve from three. to five
years in the penitentiary. The lead
ing people in Cherokee county seem
to think that Maxwell should be par
doned. He is a Woodworking man
and has a wife and four children de-
pendant upon him for support. At the
time he got into trouble he was get
ting high pay as pit boss in one of the
mines. The claim is made that Fern,
the man who was killed, was a MEM
Der of a clique called "the dirty doz-
en-" and that Maxwell was only de-
Tending himself when he killed Fern.
Another application for pardon
which was presented to Governor
Hoch at length today was that of
Harry Bowes of Leavenworth. a col
ored man sentenced IN April. 1904, for
a statutory crime. The application is
endorsed by Mrs, Frances Edwards,
the complaining witness; Mrs. Julia
Price, the girls mother; J. H. Gill
patrick, judge; Lee Bond, county at
torney; Stance Myers, sheriff, and
Frank Ryan, clerk of the district
court.

GROCERS WIN.
Interior JObbers Given Missouri
River Concessions.

The state board of railroad commits
sioners this afternoon issued its formal
order to the railroads operating within
the boundaries of the state compelling
them to put into effect on January 10.
1906, from interior points the same rates
which apply from Missouri river points
on grocery commodities.
The rates in question are those which
were argued by the wholesale grocers
of Wichita, Hutchinson, Salina and
Cofeyville before the board of railroad
commissioners.
This is victory for the iobbers of
Wichita and other interior points Who
contended for the same concessions
granted Missouri River jobbers.
