FOLK REMAINS
IN KANSAS CITY
Amazing Amount of Graft Un-
C0vered-HeadS to Come
Off This Week.

Kansas City, Mo, May 1s.-There will
be complete reorganization of the
Kansas City police department as a re-
suit of the investigation that is to be
begun here next Tuesday by the local
board of police commissioners. The
shake-up will include several of those
higher up. This statement was made
late today by an official high in authori-
ty, and coming on top of a two days
personal investigation of the situation
by Governor Folk, is taken to mean that
sensational results may be expected to
follow closely after the meeting of the
board next week.
Because of alleged developments late
tonight. Governor Folk decided to re-
main in KANSAS City until Monday, and
possibly longer, and continue to per-
sonally aid in the police investigation.
The governor would make no state
ment as to what the developments were
that kept him here. but it was learned
from other sources that unless present
plans miscarry at least two prominent
police officials. John Halpin, chief OF
detectives, and DR.. G. B. LOngan, police
surgeon. both of whom have been on the
force for years, will be removed Tues
day Immediately upon converting of the
board of police commissioners.
Governor Folk was still in conference
with the police commissioners at mid
night
Governor Folk had intended to leave
the city late tonight, but in the light
of the developments changed his plans
quickly at the last moment.

Rooseveit's Undesirable Citizens
Letter Attracting Attention in
High Russian Circles.

St Petersburg, May E.-President
Roosevelts utterances in which ne used
the words undesirable citizens in ref
erence to f. II. Hartman and Messrs.
HAYWOOD, Meyer and Pettibone have just
been received here by mail and are at
tracing wide attention. The phrase has
particular interest for Russia on ac-
count of the intimate connection between
political and industrial questions here
and the similarity between the murder Of
Ex-Governor Steunenberg and political
crimes in this city.
The Novoe Nremya has published an
editorial in which, after ignoHng the ref
erence to the capitalist, it halls Mr..
RoOsevelt's utterances with regard to the
officials of the Western Federation of
Miners as the all-important statement
needed to inpart to the discussion of in
dustrial problems that sincerity which
for so long has been lacking. The paper
suggests that the outspOkenness of Pres
ident Roosevelt may perhaps inspire the
duma. which shrinks from the discussion

FIourishing Condition.

The 10-cent fiction loan collection, es-
tablished by the public library a few
months ago. is now reported in a most
flourishing condition. The collection now
contains 1876 books, all duplicates of those
on the free shelves, and these have, since
February .. earned sufficient TO pay for
themselves. and are now earning money
for new purchases
One thing that is noticeable is the care
taken of them; although they have been
in constant use. few of them show any
sign of wear.
