POLICE HAVE A CLUE.
Think They Are ON the Trail of Men
Who Beat Miss Heclert.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 11.-At last a
distinct clue to the De Soto attack has
been discovered by the Lawrence police.
A saw was found in the shack owned
by Tom Middleton which bore the San
ia Fee inscription. The saw is one that
is ordinarily kept in coaches or on the
walls OF stations. The police are of the
opinion that the saw is connected close
w Eith-the assault on Miss iona Heck
ert and unless something unforeseen
ours an arrest viii be made very soon
and the De Soto mystery cleared away.
The gang of FOUNDERS which makes
the Middleton shack its headquarters IS
composed of many of the Jail birds of
Lawrence In 1t are Tom Middleton,
Tough" Brooks, Dock Burns, Arch
Hazlitt, Bob Ingalls, and a few others.
OF these, quite a number are now in
jail Bob ingalls,, Brooks. Middleton
and Burns are under the care of the
law, and there is evidence collecting
which will help to thoroughly do away
with the gang.
A warrant is to be sworn out against
Middleton for stealing the saw and in
this manner other evidence will develop.

NOTES FROM THE LEGISLATURE

A half dozen senators have evidently
entered a race to see who shall wear the
laurel for being the best dressed man,
or rather the ofteneSt dressed man in
the body. These six have appeared in
a different suit each 4daysso far. The
winner will be announced in due time. j,
Some of the solons who are partici-
pating in the deliberations of the pres
ent session of the legislatu are evil
IDENTIFY wise only in the positions that
they occupy. Several of them have alb
solutely no idea of the meaning of some
of the bills they have introduced nor
what these bills would accomplish if
enacted into law. The bills are handed
to them by friends or heads of state de-
partments and are presented in some in
stances without even having been look
ed at by the introducer.
. John F. Kelly, a brother of Treasurer
T. T. Kelly, has got a job as docket
clerk in the house. He does not retire
as assistant state treasurer till Monday.
During the course of the session of
the senate yesterday afternoon and
while the body was working in the COM
rnittee of the whole, Senator Young,
who was in the chair, announced that
senate rule No. 20 would be enforced.
This rule prohibits smoking in the
chamber while an actual session is in
progress. A howl of protest went up
from several of the senators who are
nicotinely inclined. Senator Getty jok-
ingly told the chair that the rule had
lost force two years ago because of the
statute of limitations. Senator Young
replied that the rule would be enforced
for the time being, evidently meaning
while he was in the chair. If the rule
is enforced all the time the senate is in
session 1t might not be a bad idea. 1t
would certainly make the place more
a he
wives, daughters and friends of the SEN
proceedings to attend the sessions. AS
it is now the senate chamber takes on
the hues of a club room within a few
minutes after a session starts. The air
is blue and thick with smoke and to
one to whom smokes offensive it is we'll
nigh impossible to remain in the gal
lery for even a few minutes.
A meeting of the senate committee on
railroads was held yesterday afternoon
but no business Of moment was trans
acted. The many railroad bills which
have been introduced SO far We're talk
ed over informally. Senator Tucker,
chairman of the committee, said the
committee believed that several other
railroad bills along lines similar to the
ones already introduced would be put
in, and that it would be useless to at
tempt to try and get down to work un-
til all the important bills on this par
ticular subject had been presented. No
date was set for the next meeting of
the committee.
