BIG FELLOW"lS NAMED
Supervisor LOnergan Says Gallagher
Distributed Bribe Money.

San Francisco, Cal, March 21.-
The grand jury met at 10 o'clock this
morning and resumed its investigation
of the alleged telephone graft ASsis-
tant District Attorney Heney and Sc
cret Service Agent Burns were present
and interrogated employees of the Pa
cif1c States Telephone & Telegraph
company which have been summoned
body. Although 81 indictments have
already been secured in connection
with the granting of a bill of $4,000
and the alleged payment to the su-
pervisors of $62, 900 for franchise
said to be worth $1,00O,OOO to the
home company in the attempt on the
part of the Pacific company to pre-
vent the advent of competition in this
city, Burns has declared that the
probing of the telephone scandal has
but commenced.
The nature of the secret indict
ments, which were withheld yester-
day, is being closely guarded by
Heney and Burns but it is rumored
that a telephone official is among
those named in the true bill. In an
interview published this morning.
Supervisor Thomas Lonergan was
quoted as saying that he never had
any direct dealings with Ruef in the
matter of bribes but received the
money from Supervisor James L. Gal
lagher who distributed the alleged
bribe funds to the board and was
known as the 'tbig fellow" Lonergan
declared that much of the money he
had received in this manner was lost
when his home was destroyed during
the disaster last April.
That the alleged corrupt city faith
ers will be removed if they do not re-
sist is practically admitted by Dis
.trict Attorney Langdon, but just what
steps will be taken and when. has not
yet been decided. Heney, Burns and
Langdon have been too busy present
ing evidence to the grand jury to con-
slider the method of procedure by
which the supervisors may be re-

HOPKINS WONT QUIT.
viii Make Still Hunt Against Anthony
at Primary.

Though Dan Anthony's name is the
only one to appear on the official ballot
as printed for the First congressional
primary on March %. it is claimed
that sly movement is on foot to
write in the name of John S. Hopkins
by those opposed to the nomination
of Anthony.
Though friends of Hopkins would
be inclined to do this anyway, it is
stated that plan is one Matched on
generous proportions and includes not
only the friends of Hopkins but sew
eral of the other candidates who have

mittee of the Shawnee Republican
central committee at the Copeland this
evening. The meeting is called for the
purpose of fixing the polling places
both in the city and the townships in
the county.
Since there is no well founded op-
position to Anthony, the polling places
will not be held in every precinct in
the city. The plan which will receive
the approval of the committee pro-
vides that one polling place shall be
fixed in each ward where it will be
accessible to all. On this account and

vote will probably be very light.
John S. Hopkins resents the story
that is being circulated that he is not
in the race just because he has not
paid his assessment. He announces
that he is campaigning the district and
making speeches in the interest Of his
nomination. He was at Atchison last
evening and has already visited Lam
caster, Efin ngham, etc.
Hopkins would like to arrange for
a debate with Anthony, the idea back
of it being an exposition of the reasons
why each man solicits support for the
nomination. There is not much ex-
pectation, however, that any arrange
ment of the sort will come to pass.

PRINTERS LOSE.
And Street Car Men Win in Butte,
Montana, Strikes.

Butte Mont, March 21.-Nothing def
mite has yet developed in the newspaper
situation though it is admitted by some
of the members of the Typographical
union that the printers have lost their
fight with the publishers and that they
have been ordered by the international
Typogra phical union to return to work
on the terms demanded by the publish
ers. The printers were in session dur
ing yesterday and after long discus
sion adjournment was taken until this
evening, when John Baker. district or
ganizer. sent here by President Lynch
of the l. T. u. will give out a state
ment. 1t seems practically settled that
the printers. are to return to work at
the old scale in effect prior to May 81,
1906. 1t is probable that the newspapers
will resume publication early next week,
or as soon as the necessary operating
forces can be gotten together.
The street car situation was cleared
up last night by the street railway
company giving in to the workingmen's
union and agreeing to pay the scale Of
$3.50 per day.

Want NO BOTCH.
Rebuilding East Steps of Capitol
Is in Doubt.
Ten Thousand Appropriated May
Not Be Enough.
MIR. FAIRCHILD'S IDEA
Wants Work Done on Plan OF
North Entrance.
Would Wait for Action of Next
Legislature.

Ten thousand dollars was appropri
ated at the last session of the legisla-
ture with which to rebuild the east steps
of the state capitol, replacing the
crumbling limestone steps with quarry
granite.
The question now arises, Does the
state want these steps rebuilt on the
present design.
Several of the members of the exec
utive council, who will have charge of
the expenditure of the 100000 think
that the steps should be reconstructed
with broad, massive entrance such as
adorns the north and south wings, in
stead of being simply rebuilt on the
present plan of direct stairway up to
the main entrance.
But to rebuild the old steps on the
new plan would cost a good deal more
than $4,000. The estimate of $4,000
was made by State Architect Stanton
on the basis of simply replacing the
existing steps with granite steps If
the executive council comes to the con-
clusion that the more elaborate en-
trance should be constructed, the $10,-
900 appropriated may be turned back
into the treasury, and the next legisla-
ture requested to increase the allow
ance.
There is a radical difference of opin-
ion about the advisability of changing
the present plan of the entrance. The
state architect, who made the estimate
on the cost of replacing the present
steps with granite, is inclined to the
opinion that architectural1y the present
plan of steps is more suita BILE.
E. T. Fairchild, state superintendent
of education, is a strong convert to the
other view of the case.
In my opinion" he said this morn
ing, 1.-The north entrance to the state
house is one of the most massive and
altogether pleasing architectural effects
in the country. 1t seems to me that in
reconstrueting the east steps we should
follow that plan of construction as far
as possible. The present steps are GER
tainly not very handsome and 1 believe
that while we are rebuilding them, we
should do it right. 1t will probably
cost more than $40, eco, and if so, we had
better wait a couple of years for the
next legislature to make an appropria-
tion large enough to do the work pro-
perly.''
The executive council will probably
take up the matter of advertising for
bids on the construction of the new
steps as soon as the plans can be pre-
pared by the state architect.
The material to be used, according to
the state architects plan, is quarry
granite This is the granite taken dt-
rect from the underground strata of
granite The north and south steps
are made OF surface or boulder granite
which is less expensive.

FOR MILEAGE BOOKS
They Will Be Ready for Public on

It has been decided by the railroads

general attorney, and J. NJ. Conneli,
general passenger agent of the Santa
Fe, called upon the state board of rail-
road commissioners yesterday, and ex-

quired to have the tickets Autographed,
and arrangements made for a clearing
house for the interchangeabl books.
The board decided to allow the rail-
roads until May 1 to complete these ar
rangements. Until that time, the peo-
pie of Kansas will either have to pay
the full cent fare or get a political
free pass from some friend.
