Work Of Drake Commission.

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 16.-The Drake
commission during it's Investigations
brought out the personal collection by
county treasurers of interest on pub
lie funds deposited in banks. Because
Of the criticism aroused, half a dozen
former treasurers paid voluntarily into
the county treasury total of $214,000.
which they estimated they had thus
received. Other matters brought out
affected the sale of turnpike roads to
the county, in which large commits
sions were paid for disposing OF the
roads. The case which was carried to
the supreme court was a dispute over
rentals, but it followed favorable ac-
ton on the refusal OF Cashier Davis
of the First National bank to disclose
what he considered to be the confiden-
tfal business matters Of depositOrs
His arrest and removal from the city
followed at once by his release on a
writ of habeas corpus served in
Springfield hotel at 8 o'clock in the
morning, were sensational incidents
in the investigation, and the legal fight
which followed it.

CoiumD us, ", Oct. io.-Ine DraEf
investigating committee created b.
the Ohio Democratic senate at its ses.
sion last winter, to inquire into the
government of Hamilton county and
the city of Cincinnati, is no more. The
Ohio supreme court in decision holds
that the committee is without any
power whatever. The case in which
this decision was given was one
brought by the Robertson Realty com
pany OF Cincinnati against State Audi
tor w. d. Guilbert, to compel him to
issue his warrant on the state treasury
in payment of rent for rooms occupied
by the committee in its work in Gin
cinnati Judge Smith of the Hamilton
county common pleas court had held
that the committee was without power
and under this decision the state audi
tor was unwilling to permit state
funds to be used by the committee.
This test case was agreed upon, but
it brought up only the question OF
whether the committee had the power
to expend state money given by the
resolution under which it was ap-
pointed.
If the decision had been in favor of
the committee in this case there would
still be the question Of whether it had
any power to conduct an investigation
to compel the production of books, pa
pers and records and the attendance
Of witnesses. But the supreme courts
decision settles the whole matter. The
Drake investigating committee is held
to be without power or authority, and
will never meet again.
This case is to be reported. Attor
ney General Ellis, representing the
state auditor, filed a demurrer to the
mandamus petition of the attorneys
for the committee and for the realty
company, and the court sustains in it's
decision this demurrer and dismissed
the mandamus petition.

g done on convention day.

The republican county convention
will meet. in Mitchell next Tuesday
to select 81 delegates to the state
convention. Two or three insar-
gents supporters have made the
rounds of several townships in the
effort to try and land some of the
stalwart delegates in the i~nsurgent
department, in the hope that they
might secure some recognition on
the delegation. 1t is not at all likely
that they will be able to accomplish
anything in that direction. 1t is a
straight fight for supremacy over at
Sioux Falls and inasmuch as this
county went for the organization
there is little room for the insur-
gents to hope that they will be given
anything that will tend to weaken
the stalwart situation at Sioux Falls.
We are quite positive that the insur-
gents would concede nothing to the
stalwarts we're they iu a like
position.

The result of the primary election
s3is still unsettled, according to the
latest returns. and 10th the stall
warts and insurgents are claiming
the state. Reports coming i'll from
some township in a county have
changed the aspect of things TO a
considerable extent IN taking a sup
posedly IIslirgent county or a stall
wart county and placing them in
different columns from where they
were tirst announced. These changes
have placed the stalwarts and insnr-
gents on nearly an eve basis. With

conceded that It is very close with

1t is regrettable that the primary
election was not decided with more
definiteness n way or another last
Tuesday. 1t would canse less fric-
ton in the state convention June 8
and would give the factions of the

monte things after the convention
is over. The vote was so close
throughout the state that it cannot
positively be determined which are
the absolute victurs until the first
test comes on the floor of the conven-
ton. The insurgents had a meeting
at Sioux Falls Thursday night and
mapped out things how they were to
be done on convention day.

AS TO MR..

Kansas City Star: To begin with,
In a question Of ~veracity between
the president and ex-senator Chand-
Ter, the country is not going to
doubt the president. But there are
some things that point especially to
the New Hampshire MAJ as the dark
object in the Washington woodpile.
Mr.. Chandler is a republican and
has been honored by the republican
party. He lost bis office through tile
influence of the Boston and Maine
railway, and has since nursed a
righteous grudge against railway
corporations. he has devoted much
of his time to the furtherance of
railway legislation, making speeches,
giving interviews and writing PAM
phlets. but he has acted more as
a man bent on revenge than as pub
licist Jealous for reform. He has
hated the CONSERVATIVES republic
cans OF the senate as much as he has
hated high railway officials. He has
cultivated the most radical leaders
of both parties in Washington, be-
ing especially friendly with Senator
Tillman.
Now it is quite conceivable-and
developments have made it plausible
that Mr.. Chandler would have pre-
feTred the enactment Of a rate law
by the vote Of a Democratic majori-
~ and a republican minoIity rather
than by d republican majority sufS-
Client to pass the bill. First, in the
hope that a bill thus passed would
be more radical second, because such
q process would have been humili-
ating to the ssconservative', 1epub-
licans.
at any rate, Mr.. Chandler APP
preached the president as the repre-
sentative Of Mr.. Tillman, who was
In charge OF the rate bill. The presi-
dent on the one hand and Mr.. Till
man and Mr.. Bailey on the other
discussed the phases OF the rate bill
through this self-invited informed
SA0Ay9@JOSO o. IL ISOoCsClU udU 9OlS-
cussed the same points with repre-
sentatiyes OF both parties, directly
and indirectly. MI. Chandler led
the democrats to believe-at least
they profess to have believed-that
MI: Roosevelt had entered into an
agreement to do certain things on a
bi-party basis. When the president
finally preferred the Allison amend
ment rather than the plan discussed
With the democratic leaders, he
acted entirely within his rights as an.
official and as a man.
Bur Mr.. Chandler thus lostvvhis OPP
pOrtunitY to pose as--the Nemesis Of
the railroads. His particular plan
did not go through. Thereupon,
although a republican, he Joined
with the most radical Of democrats
and helped to prepare q statement
designed TO embarrass the admins
TRACTION. About the worst aspect OF
the Bailey and TIllman attack on
the president is that they should
have relied for their information
on Mr.. Chandler. considering his
personal grievance, his vindictiye
spirit and his Willingness thus to
embarfass republican president

BOY SAVES BANK.

After fastening the doors of nearby
houses by setting heavy eye-screws in
the door frames and fastening the door
knobs to them with ropes, eight rob-
bers attacked the front door of the
Traders Bank, of Bridgeburg, village
on the Canadian side of the Niagara
River, opposite Buffalo, with batter
ing ram, early on recent morning.
Ralph G. Young, eighteen years old,
was the only person in the bank.
Armed with revolver, he went to an
upper window and opened fire. The
thieves replied with revolvers and shot
guns, some of the gang meanwhile con-
tinuing the work with the battering
ram.
With his face streaming with blood
from shattered glass and splinters of
wood, Young kept up the fight for
twenty minutes. The stout oak doors
resisted all the efforts to break them
down, and. alarmed by shot fired
from up the street by an aroused vii.
lager, the thieves fed.
