New York. Nov. PA double trag-

TUIhEY TURNS DOWN CLAIM.
Ground Is That Governors Secretary
Drew Two Salaries.

State Treasurer Mark Tulley has re-
fused to place his o. K. on a warrant
for $3.50 drawn in favor of Charles
Kellogg, confidential stenographer to
Governor Hoch, on the theory that an
employe of the state should not draw
two salaries at the same time for
work done for the state. He is OPP
posed in the stand which he has taken
by Attorney General F. s. Jackson,
who has o. KID the bill of Steno-
grapher Kellogg.
Kellogg draws a salary of 1928 a
month from the state for his duties as
stenographer in the office of the gov
ernor. A short time ago the steno-
grapher in the attorney generals Of
flee was absent for short time and it
is said that the work was done by KEEL
logg during this time for her with the
understanding that he should receive
his pay from the state During this
time Kellogg drew his regular salary
Of $125 per month and then put in
his voucher of $3.50, the disputed
amount
Attorney General Jackson and Au-
ditor Tulley have held several con-
ferences about the claim and Jackson
insists that 1t was the intention of the
legislature to permit claims of this
kind to be paid. Tul1ey does not claim
to be able to read the minds of the
legislators who made the law, but in
sists that the statute is clear on the
case and that Kellogg is not entitled to
the additional amount claimed and
sites the statute as a base for the
stand which he has taken. This Sec
ton provides that an employee accept
ing money appropriated by the legisla-
ture in excess of his salary shall be
guilty of a felony. AS the matter
stands at the present time it appears
that Mr.. Kellogg will be compelled to
get along on the salary allowed him
as stenographer for Governor Hoch.

some criticism which followed the
designation of Brigadier General Will

head of Brigadier General Frederick
Funston, the senior brigadier general,

the war department that prior to Gen
eral McCaskey's promotion he had
personally received letter from Gen
eral Funston in which he stated that
he had no objection to General Nc
Caskey's promotion ahead of himself,
because of General McCaskey's char
acter as a soldier and his Civil war
record and that he would gladly have
made this statement officially were 1t
not for the fact that this would be as
Stunning that the war department in

IN EVENT OF ACQUiTTkL.
Trials of Other Miners Leaders May
Be Abandoned.

Boise, Ida, May 10.-William D..
Haywood, secretary and treasurer OF
the Western Federation OF Miners, has
been placed on trial for completely in
the murder at Caldwell, Ida. on Dec.
30, 1905, of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg. Haywood is one of four
defendants charged with the murder.
The others are Charles b. Meyer.
president of the federation; George A.
Pettibone, former member OF the eX-
cutive committee of the federation,
and Harry Orchard. The last named
Is expected to be the most important
witness for the state against Hay
wood, Meyer and Pettibone. He Is
said to have made confession and
1t has been the task Of the prosecution
to endeavor to corroborate this con.
fession wherever possible. The fact
that Haywood's case Is the first called
for trial is regarded as indicating that
the prosecuting attorneys believe their
strongest evidence is against the sec.
retary Of the federation. The outcome
of his case will determine the action
to be taken with regard to Meyer and
Pettibone. Should there be convic-
ton of Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone
will be called for trial In the order
named On the other hand, an ac-
quittal of Haywood undoubtedly would
mean an abandonment of the cases
against the other accused officers OF
the miners organization.
Orchards Trial VIII Come Last.
Orchard will not be tried until all
OF the other cases are disposed OF. 1t
Is said that the evidence against him
Is so strong that he cannot hope for
other than conviction Of murder In
the first degree regardless OF the YER
diets upon the indictments against
HAYWOOD Moyer and Pettibone.. Or
