ARRAIGNED IN COURT.
Negroes Charged With Crime Have At
tOneys Appointed.

Just at the noon hour a quartette.
which resembled a four-flush of
spades, were brought before Judge
Dana of the district court. The first
member of the quartette to face his
honor was A Cantrell, who a year ago
got drunk and came near beating an
other youth to death. He had signi-
fed a willingness to plead guilty to the
charge of assault with intent to kill.
County Attorney Hungate and w. A. S.
Bird each made talk to the court in
which they pleaded for a sentence to
the reformatory rather than to the
penitentiary as Cantrell had never
been arrested before and bore good
reputation prior to the trouble which
landed him in jail on this charge.
Judge Dana was evidently impressed
with the plea of the lawyers for Can
trell received a sentence to the reform
atOry at Hutchinson in place of the
state Denitentiary.
Attorney Gilluly was appointed to
defend viii Johnson who was arrested
for stealing wheat from a Rock Is
land freight car as he made the state
ment that he was not able to employ
an attorney. Lee Sanders -ho was
arrested for larceny from a yelling,
made a poverty plea and he will be
defended by Otis Allen, who was ap-
pointed by Judge Dana.

charged with chicken stealing and
looked the part, when asked by Judge
him, said: NO, sab; I don't want no
lawyer in ma case at all" Judge Dana
appointed Ralph Bollinger as his at

MI. Rogers knew several other oil
people vaguely, too vaguely to enlighten
the commission. To all questions tend

Mr. Rogers was then excused and as
he passed Mr. Hadley he said, Good
bye" to which Mr.. Hadley responded.
Eugene Carney was the next witness.
He said he was a police officer at 20

who employed him.

PANKEY MAY TRY IT.
Rumor That Independent Telephone
Man VIII Be Legislative Candidate.

B. F. Pankey may be a candidate
for representative in the city district
comprising the Second, Third and
Fourth wards It is possible that ".
A. 5. Bird. who is at present repre-
senting the city district, will encounter
some strong opposition. Yesterday a
good sized boom started for B. T.
Pankey of the Independent Telephone
company. Mr.. Pankey has not made
up his mind what to do as he had not
expected to enter the race for about
two years.
Mr.. Pankey has been a resident of
the city and county for twenty-five
years and is one of the best known men
in the district. He has a way about
him of doing things and has been very
successful in anything he has ever at
tempted. Mr.. Pankey admits that he
has some ambitions along this line but
has not fully made up his mind and as
the time is so short for entering the
race he hardly knows whether his
business interests allow him to enter
the race or not. He is A years old
and has never been a candidate for
office.

UNDER new Law.
AIidshipnan Decatur viii Be Tried
Again for Hazing.

Annapolis. Nd, Jan. 9.-The first
the act of 1903, providing dismissal
for encouraging or cOuntenancing
hazing" began this morning, Midship-
man Stephen Decatur, Jr., of Ports
mouth, n. H, being on trial. This
charge is supported by one specifica-
ton, that Decatur cOuntenanced the
hazing of a fourth class man, Gaylord
Church, of Meadville. Pa. There are
two specifications. No courts martial
have been called under the latter act
previous to this because 1t was be-
lieved that the superintendent of the
naval academy had powers of sum-
mary dismissal under it. A recent
opinion of the attorney general holds.
however, that the power can only be
exercised after conviction before q
court martial. Decatur has already
undergone one trial for hazing and
was acquitted. He is regarded as one
of the best students in the class which
will graduate next month.
The next midshipman to be tried is
also a member of the first class There
are charges under both acts against
him, which are supported by four
specifications. Among the midship-
men of fourth class whom it is alleged
that Miller hazed is Henry G. Cooper,
Jr. of oxford. \. c.. the youth who
was stricken with paralysis in class
room about a month ago and whose
previous hazing was rumOred at the
time but denied by him.

BOHRER FAVORS UNION.
Wants Bee Keepers and Stock Breed
ers to Unite.

DR.. G. Bohrer, of Lyons, president of
the Kansas State Bee Keepers associa-
ton, is in the city today assisting in
arranging for the convention which is
to be held at the Copeland hotel. COM
mencing at 2 o'clock Wednesday. Mr..
Bohrer is trying to arrange for a joint
meeting of the bee raisers and the live
stock breeders who are in convention
at the state house this week. He said:
Il cannot see why a meeting of this
kind will not be of great value to all
concerned. Bee raising and stock
raising go hand in hand and we are
both breeders as far as that is con-
cerned. The bee industry is one that
has been neglected in this state and.
even at that it is one of the big inter
ests of the state and probably brings
in larger returns for the money in
vested than any other branch which
goes to swell the income of the breed
ers and farmers. Our interests are
mutual and as such interests We
should act in harmony towards their
protection. Delegates to the bee
keepers meeting are arriving from all
over the state and I expect the meet
ing to be the best one ever held in the
state

DIDN'T HURT MUCH.
Secretary Bonaparte's Reprimand of
Commander Young Was Mild.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Before his de
parture for Charlestown, Secretary
Bonaparte wrote q letter of reprimand
TO Commander Lucien Young in ex-
ecution of the sentence of the court
martial which found that officer guilty
Of remissness of duty in connection with
the boiler explosion on the gunboat
Bennington. The reprimand is not
what is known in the navy as a public
reprimand.' the nature of which nat
urally requires that It shall be admin
lstered in public manner. In view
Of the peculiar circumstances of the
case Assistant Secretary Newberry who
IS acting as secretary has decided that
the letter shall not be made public by
the navy department and that its pub
ncatton shall be left to the discretion of
the recipient. The reprimand is some
what mild in tone and the letter is not
altogether uncompIimentary to Com
mander Young. It is therefore not at all
unlikely that Commander Young will
himself consent to its publication.
