misconduct in the United States court
against DR.. A. w. Mccoy and DR.. L. M.
Minick, two members of the board ap-
pointed to examine old soldiers who
make applications for pensions.
1t was said by the old soldiers who
have been active in the investigation of
the alleged misconduct of two members
of the pension board that there are now
on file in the office Of V. Warner, pen
sion commissioner, Washington, D. c.,
fourteen affidavits of applicants for pen

gether with a personal appeal to him
to act and cause an investigation.
When the attention Of the commits
sioner of pensions was called to the
case he ordered H. A. Kingsley of To-
peka, a special examiner for the de-
partment of pensions, to come here
and make an investigation. Mr.. Kings
ley came and took fourteen deposit
tions here and in Kingman- It was
said in the meeting that so far as the
pension department was concerned the
investigation stopped when the aff1-
davits were forwarded to washington.
Congressman Victor Murdock was
openly charged with smothering the
investigation. A number of old SOL
diers called on him when he was In
Wichita last fall and asked him to
cause the discharge or resignation of
two members of the pension board

bers whose scalps the old soldiers are
after are said to have been Murdock's 8

meeting yesterday because It was an
"open'' meeting. came in for a share
of the cannonading. He was criti-
cised for a speech he made before
Eggleston post, G. A. r. It was said
that his stand was the cause of the
post laying on the table a resolution
to aid in the investigation. He was
said to have made the remark that
to go on with the investigation would
cause many old soldiers to lose their

HOW WHITE SUMS IT UP
Tells How Hoch Paid stubbs, Kelly and
the Railroads.

Emporia. kan, June 21=In the
Fmporia Gazette, discussing the Hoch-
Stubbs controversy, William Allen
White returns a verdict of not guilty
on behalf of Stubbs to the charge that
Stubbs made Hoch. White adds Stubbs
isn't all that he should be; he is about
40 per cent decent, which is larger
than the average in Kansas po1ues'
where the average pouuclan some
years runs as low as Is per cent good
The White editorial is as follows:
1.-The esteemed Kansas City journal
inquiries if Stubs made HOch To
which inquiry the Gazette on behalf Of
the defendant desires to file a plea of
not guilty. Stubbs isn't all that he
should be; he is about 20 per cent de-
cent-which is larger than the average
in Kansas politics, where the average
politician some years runs as low as 1 .
per cent good. But there is 10 use OF
abusing Stubbs. Stubbs helped to
make Hoch governor-there can be no
question about that. But further than
that Stubs is not culpable. And there
was this to be said in extenuatiOn Of
Stubbs; he was new in Kansas politics.
He was a serious wrong done to a good
man, and Stubbs impulsively tried to
right the wrong by making the wrong
ed man governor. So Stubbs made
or helped to make-Hoch governor.
And here is where Stubbs made a seri-
> ,
whom Stubbs knew at the time to be
q crook. to help make HOch governor.
Stubs allowed railroad money to go
into Reno county and buy the pri-
naries to make Hoeh governor. Stubs
allowed J. B. Case and Joe Richards,
on behalf of the railroad interests, to
help make Koch governor And so
naturally Hoch was grateful to all of
them. HOch was grateful to Stubbs;
and in SO far as he appointed clean,
afflntanf tn office "a
the state an honorable administration
Of public affairs-and certainly he has
done that-HOch has shown his graft
tude to Stubbs. Furthermore, inso-
much as Hoch has shielded Kelly from
the law has kept him out of jail has
allowed him to go scot free after vio-
laing the law, Hoeh has shown his
gratitude to Kelly. STUDIOS should moi
complain of that. He accepted Kelly
help when it was needed, and should
not object to Hoch paying his debts
moreover insofar as HOch has stood bX
the vested interests, and has promoted
corporation politics, and he did thi.
by his silence before the state cOnven-
ton, Hoch has paid his debts to The
railroads who contributed the money
to buy Reno county for him in tn,
primaries two years ago. Stubbs car
hardly object to that. Stubbs accepted
the railroad help in the work of nomi
mating Hoch, and he should not obiec
when Hoch pays his railroad debts
The cold fact of this whole business
IS that Stubbs got just what was com
ing to him in the Hoch matter. I
stream can not rise higher than it
source. There has come out of thl
nomination Of HOch Just what has pu
into 1T. Good intentions. high aspira
tions. impractical honesty, practica
dishonesty. railroad influence and tn
longing Of great people for somethinl
better than they had. Hoch option

Come in. .Parson,' the president
called to Davies. 1t is you I want to

beamed upon him.

president asked.

SERIOUS MUTINY.
Russian Government Again Has
Trouble at sevastopol.

st Petersburg, June 21@A serious
mutiny which for time threatened
to place the fortress of Sevastopol ia
possession Of the mutineers, was sup
pressed yesterday, according to a spe-
cial dispatch to the Novoe Xremya.
The mutiny was started by battalion
of fortress artillery which declined to
obey orders, whereupon the men were
promptly disarmed. Two other bat
talions then mutinied ana took possess
sion of the guns in the north shore
batteries, but on the appearance of
several loyal regiments of infantry the
mutineers abandoned the idea of fight
ing and returned to their barracks.
General Neplueff, commander of the
fortress of Sevastopol, is represented
to be greatly concerned about the
temper of the sailors as well as the
soldiers of the fortress. That the
morale of the whole army is being
shaken by the revolutionary propa-
ganda is proved by the continual exten-
sion of the rebeIlious outbreaks among
the troops. 1t appears to be confirmed
that the BolschOff regiment at Ryazab b
has driven out its officers and burned
the armory. Another report says the
soldiers deliberately attacked the Of
ficers club at Ryazab, killing one and
wounding. two officers. A panic pre-
walls in the town.
Four companies of the Viborg regi-
ment, stationed in St Petersburg. have
presented demands which were ac-
ceded to and they have returned to
duty. The soldiers of the notorious
Zemenovsky regiment. whose name
became synonymous with repression
owing to the deeds committed by these
troops at Moscow, are reported to have
/ held a meeting and to have decided
that they can not any longer endure
the public opprobrium and must wipe
out the stain on the regiment
