W. {. STANLEY HERE.
Ex-Governor Thinks There Will Be No
Special Session.

w. E. Stanley, ex-governor of Kan
sas, is in Topeka today on law bust
ness. In speaking Of the political stu
alton, he said:
81 hardly think that there will be a
special session of the legislatures; some
way out of it will be found. - don't
governors, action is. Perhaps he
thinks that by making this move right
now, and getting in line with public
sentiment good and strong ne can re-
establish himself. and become a can
didate for the United States senate
THE question of who will be the
next Republican nominee for governor
is in very nebulous state, and may
remain so for some time. 1t would
not surprise me much to see it remain
uncertain until after the Republican,
national convention. The result Of
that convention will do a good deal to
determine the course of events in Kan
sas. If the national convention nomi-
mates Foraker, or Fairbanks, or some
man of that kind, it will be a very diff
ficult matter to pull the candidate
through IN Kansas, and some OF these
people who are now talked of as can
didates for governor may prefer to
stay out of the race.
81 would like very much to see g.
L. Davidson of Wichita get the nomi-
nation. He is a man of great ability
and beyond reproach in his private ana
public life. He has a will of his own
The only thing against him is that he
isn't much of a. mixer, and can no,
make a rabbie rousing speech. But
If he could get about a hundred dele
gates for him down in that section of
the state, and come to the convention
with strong fighting organiza-
ton, I believe he would nave a good
chance to land the nomination"

TO BURY HIS OWN DEAD.
None Comes Forward to Aid Green
hauIgh in Last Service TO His Wife.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-The third dra-
matte scene in the Zion City tragedy
the death of Mrs. Letitia Greenhaulgh
will pass today almost without at
tention. The first occurred last
Wednesday when the old woman was
killed by unbelievable tortures, the
second was the midnight coroner's in
quest, when son told of the part he
and his sister had played in the crime.
Today an undertaker's wagon, ac-
companied by single mourner. Adam
Greenhaulgh, the old man who called
the victim of the religious fanaticism
his wife, the father of two children
locked in cells on the charge of matri-
eide, will carry plain black casket to
the burial ground.
No friends have signifed their
willingness to act as pallbearers. AS
late as this morning a search must be
made for some church officer to pro-
nounce the last word as the coffin is
lowered into it's resting place. The
grief stricken old man must lend his
own strength to this last Office for his
dead.
With the disclosures of an awful
crime, the sect whose teachings had
led to insane frenzy deserted its fol-
lowers who had carried their doctrines
to the extreme. They diSowned the
participants in the outrage The I'M
responsible for concealing the crime,
was the only man to undertake the
funeral arrangements.
The five prisoners in the county Jail
a aukegan-Harold Mitchell, Mary
Mitchell, his wife; Jennie and Walter
Greenhaulgh. the son and daughter of
the victim of maniacal religion, and
Mrs. Louise Schmidt, showed they
were overcome with the weight of
their guilt.
The gift of tongues" which turned
them into bowling fanatics, has passed
away. Held to the. October term. of
the grand jury long days of waiting
face them until they are confronted
with the irrefutable evidence of their
deadly violence. Son and daughter
in the court room will be confronted
with the broken. splintered bones re-
moved from the body of the dead wo-
man at the coroner's autopsy.

STATEMENT FROM NJ. BROWN

Topeka, Kan. Sept. 81, 1907.
Editor Topeka State Journal, Topeka,

see in this mornings Capital, as
saw in last nights Kansas City Star.
an article to the effect that Judge
Hazen, as referee in the Uncle Sam Oil
company bankruptcy case. had decid-
ed the mortgage bonds valid and had
given Tucker power to name the trus-
tee in bankruptcy. Each of said artl-
cles is false and misleading. Judge
HaZen decided nothing of the sort. He
held that the original holder of a bond
had valid claim for only the amount
of money ne put into the bond, and
that whether the mortgage be valid or
not, such original holder of bond had
the privilege of waving it and stand
ing as a general creditor. In making
this decision, Judge Hazen repeated
the assertion that II am not now de-
Gliding the right of a stockholder in this
company or anyone else to vote the

cles are caused to be published by
Tucker to brace up his supporters and
those whom he is deluding into be-
lieving that they can dictate the choice
of trustee.
The undersigned represents several
hundred of claimants who now have
/ their eyes open and are against Tuck
er's questionable methods of doing
business.
Judge Hazen did decide that the
dividend" for which Tucker as agent
of dividend check holders had filed
some 900 claims. was illegal and I'M
authorized because the Uncle Sam
company under the evidence had never
had any net earnings from which to
pay dividends. -4s
Judge Hazen also decided upon
some claims filed by those opposed 20

In passing upon formal proofs of
claims filed by a large number of per-
sons claiming d return of money paid

to them by the company through
