Philadelphia, Aug. 24.-Fredericl

RADFoRD DENIES IT.
Hasn't Refused to Furnish Evidence to
Grain Dealers.

J. w. Radford, Kansas state grain in
spector has issued a denial of the
charges made by E. D. Bigelow, secre-
tary of the Kansas City board of trade.
Radford says that the Missouri grain
SPECTATORS have access to plenty OF
evidence concerning corrupt practices
among the members OF that Organiza-
ton, and he denies that he has refused
to furnish any evidence
1.-The board certainly has all the evil
dence which has been submitted in the
case of the grain dealers against the
Kansas grain inspection department to
abolish the weighing of wheat" said
Mr.. Radford. This is sufficient to show
that someone on the board of trade was
doing crooked work.
Mr.. Radford has written a reply to
the letter sent to him last night by Mr.
Bigelow, secretary Of the board Of
trade, and published in yesterday morn
ing's Star. In this letter Mr.. Radford
said: The bare fact, unsupported by
any other evidence, of a member loading
out five cars of wheat with only 10000
pounds on one day, having them weigh
ed and inspected, then set back and I'M
loaded and having them reloaded with
GO, 0C0 pounds ana shipping them out;
and doing the same with five more cars
next day, is a case of willful and pre-
meditated fraud, In my judgment, and
if your rules are not sufficient to brand
that class of work as fraud I think 1t
is time you were apologizing for the
rule and taking steps to remedy it. -
Mr.. Radford says he viii consult his
attorneys before deciding whether he
will appear before the board of trade
committee appointed to look into the
case.

New Haven. Conn, Aug. 24-George
Adams of Waterbury lies fatally
wounded at the home of Clifford Bar
mum, in Middlebury.
Adams was shot by a woodchuck. He
went to Middlebury a few days ago on
business. Last night, with two farm
hands and his wife, he went in pursuit
of a woodchuck which was in a burrow

to push the woodchuck under the water
with the butt of his rifle. AS he did so

NEW ELECTION IS CALLED.
Clay Center to Vote Bonds Over on
Sept. Fl.

Mayor George Hanna of Clay Celter.
who was in Topeka Thursday, says of
the outcome of the bond injunction case
in that city:
Coleman & Williams got the injunc-
ton, but we beat them on the main
point at issue, which was the constftu-
tionality of the law. We held. a meeting
Of the council the night that the case
was finished, and decided that rather
than appeal the case to the supreme
court we would have another election. We
at once called the election for Septem-
Der Fl, and passed the necessary ordi-
nances.
This lawsuit has cleared up all posi-
Bile question about the validity Of the
bonds, and that is quite point gained
for US. We will have no trouble selling
them -

cFBf.V FRANCHISE REFORM

The agitation for franchise reform in Ger
many indicates that the Socialists have at last
awakened to a realization of the fact that for
their purposes the state parliamentS are far
more important than the imperial Parliament.
The major part OF the legislation which they de-
sire is TO be enacted, if at all, by the state
parliaments. In the imperial Parliament they
can do little more than protest against the
policy of imperial ministers. 1t is only in the
state parliaments that they could abandon OBJ
struCtion for construction, and when they got
control enact the domestic, industrial and social
legislation for which their theories and their
leaders call. 1t is quite probable that the rea-
son why the organizers of the imperial Par
liament-Bismarck chief among them-were so
ready TO give universal suffrage TO the people
was that they knew the real repository of polit-
cal power would remain in the state parla
ments. for which there was, and was likely to
be- no universal suffrage
In the Prussian Chamber of Deputies the Con-
servatives hold one hundred and fifty seats and
the Socialists not one, Yet the returns of the
imperial elections in Prussia show. that the
Socialists among the people are three times
numerous as the Conservatives. In view of
such an anomaly, no wonder that the position of
the Socialist party in Germany is regarded, as
Count Posadowsky says as a riddle. The most
numerous of the popular political parties is alb
SOIuIely unrepreSenJeQ IN the nOnllnillY pOpu-
lar" branches of parliaments or in those parlia-
ments which are most directly concerned with
the welfare of the people.
Nor is 1t only the Socialists who thus suffer
practical disfranchisement and lack of repre-
sentatiOn The leaders of commerce and of in
dustry exert no adequate influence in political
life. They are overshadowed and their power
nulllfed by the nobility and the iunkers. That
Is the rule in the parliament of nearly every
one of the German states and that is why with
the existence of Reichstag so representative
Of the German people. there is still so little adj
vanCement Of the real interests of the people.
The people have great voice in the parliament
which has little TO do with their affairs, but
they have almost voice in the parliaments
which have much to do with their most vital
interests The appeal is strong. therefore, to
what we may call the Liberal bourgeoiSle to
join the movement which the Socialists have
started for franchise reform Such union of
forces has already been made in Baden. and 1t
may extend throughout the empire. If II does
it may well prove irresistible.
