Former Topeka Doctor Is Granted
- Parole.

DR.. ]. c. Brownfield, formerly of To-
peka, has been paroled from the state
penitentiary by Governor Hoch. DR..
Brownfield has served four years and
three months of his seven year sentence
for perjury in connection with the sec
ond trial of Jessie Morrison, for the
murder Of Clara Wiley Castle in But
Ter county. DR.. Brownfield testified at
the trial that he was passing the Cas-
tie home before the murder occurred
and that he had heard Clara Castle call
the Morrison girl into the house. He
became badly entangled on cross-exam-
ination and finally was arrested on a
bench warrant and convicted of perjury.
It was suggested to the governor that
he issue a pardon to the physicieus and
make it conditional on good behaN ior in
the future. The parole, however, will
have the same effect.
He was a vender of patent medicines,
which he made himself. His parole was
secured by ]. C. Waters of Topeka.

And Shipping 1t Here for Use
I'm Their Locomotives.
COSTS $40 AT MINES.
Cheaper They Say Than to Use
Cars and Engines.
Which Are Needed So Eadly for
Other Traffic.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 29.-The Harri-
man railroads are buying coal in Aus
tralia and shipping it to the United
States for use in their locomotives. The
coal costs the railroads $40 per ton at
the docks in Australia. and by the time
San Francisco is reached the cost has
become enormous. But so scarce are
freight cars and motive power on the
Hartman system that it is warranted
in paying this price rather than to
take the cars and engines from general
traffic and devote them to the coal
business.
Out in Wyoming the great coal
companies of the Union Pacific are
almost at a standstill. Fire in the
Cumberland mines prevents work at
that place and the No. l mine at Rock
Springs, which produced 1000 tons
daily, is closed because of lack of ma
1000 tons daily from that field alone.
1000 tons daily fro mthat field alone.
Several steamers are en- route from
Australia now with bituminous coal

portation will continue until the coal
famine is over.

CURTIS IS SWORN IN.
1t Is Now 'senator Charles Curtis of
Kansas

Washington, Jan. 29-The oath of Of
nee was administered today to Senator
Curtis of Kansas. Mr.. Curtis, besides
being elected to the full term beginning
March 4 next also was elected to fill
the unexpired term caused by the res
igna of Senator Burton. His imme-
diate predecessor was Senator Benson.
whose term expired when Mr.. Curtis
took the oath of office.
1t was quite appropriate that Chas.
Curtis. senator-elect from Kansas.
should be sworn in as such and take
his seat on Kansas Day. Also appro-
PIRATE it was that he should do so on
this day, since he is the first native
BORN senator Kansas has had in its 46
years of its existence. Further appro-
PIRATE was the fact that the oath was
taken not only Kansas birthday
but only four days following the new
senator's birthday for Curtis was Al,
one year older than the state, on jan
uary 25. Shortly after the senate met
TO-DAY at noon Curtis credentials were
presented by Senator Long for both
the unexDired term and the full term
commencing March A. Senator Long
then presented Senator Curtis at the
desk, the vice president administered
the oath of office and Mr. Curtis af-
fixed his signature to the senate roll.
then he was led to his seat by Senator
Long and received congratula tions of
senator's and representatives. Mr.
Curtis seat is on the same row as that
two from his colleague. This is on
the rear row of the Republican side.
1t is unusual for a new Republican
senator to secure a seat on the ma
jority eide for he generally has to sit
for two years on the Democratic side.
Senator Long was fortunate in secur-
ing an assignment for the junior sem
ator on the majority side. The new
senator will have the craftsmanship of
the committee on Indian depredations
with rooms in the terrace of the ca D
itol. This committee will be vacated
today by Burkett of Nebraska who
succeeds the late Senator Alger as
chairman of Pacific railroads. Cur

Tonight ;he sixteenth annual BAN

the history of the club. there will be
plenty of room for everybody, for the
spread will be on the main floor OF the
Topeka Auditorium. About 400 will
sit down at the table promptly at $50
Another innovation will be the pres

about 1900 people, will be reserved
for ladies,
All the magnificent and expensive
decorations of the Kansas Midwinter
exposition, which used the building
during the past two weeks, are left in

the banquet will surpass anything in
the history of the club.
One of the attractive features which
is promised the banqueters is the
opportunity of hearing the big Audi
torium pipe organ, which will furnish
part of the musical programme. In
addition to the pipe organ. there will
be music by the Kansas university
quartette. and by Steinberg's orches-

occasion by Chalk Beeson, repre-
sentative in the legislature from Ford

Topeka to attend the annual banquet
TO ride on free transportation furnish

road friends. There has been some
discussion as to what effect an anti
pass law would have on the future of
the club. Ono of the officers of the
organization said today in speaking of
the proposed law:
IF the legislature should pass the
law prohibiting the giving of passes
to political conventions only. it would
simply mean that people would all at
tend the Kansas Day club banquet
and practically make the ticket. The
convention would meet at its own ex-
pense ana ratify. The primary cleo
ton law would also be a big thing for
the club. for it would be the best op-
portunity afforded the people am
bilious for office to get before the Re
publican leaders of the state. A pri-
mary election law would double the
attendance at the Kansas Day ban

Helmick Has Been in Washington.
Parks Helmick of Chanute is
member of the legislature, and looks
like the governor of Oklahoma. Those
are the only two indictments which
have ever been brought against him.
He was born in Illinois in 1875, and
came to Kansas in 1885. First he liv-
ed on a farm in Morris county, and
then, in 1898. went to Baker univer-
sity, where he dipped into oratory
good deal. and carries the scars to this
day. He also has some gold medals
and things which are trophies to his
eloquence during his college days. He
graduated from Baker in 1899, and
went to work for Charles Scott on the
lola Register In 1903 he went to
washington for one session as private
secretary of Congressman Bowersock
and then bought a half interest in the
Chanute Tribune with which he was
connected until year ago. He is now
in the real estate and insurance busi-
ness. Helmick jumped right into the
spotlight when he came to Topeka
this session as representative from
Neosho county. and was appointed
chairman of the committee on oil and
gas in the house. He was the author
of the resolution which was recently
