GARDINER IS LET CUT.
Former Chief Donovan Refuses Ser
geant's Commissfon-Ross Named.

The police force knows as much of
it's fate as it did yesterday, which is
nothing at all. John Gardiner, first
sergeant, is the only man who has been
let out. His place was rendered to Tim
Donovan, the former chief, who decid-
ed that he didn't want it, and preferred
a job as detective. Josiah Ross, a de-
tective on the old force, and a reliable
competent officer, was therefore ten
dered the sergeant's position, and he
accepted.
While none of the other positions
have been changed. 1t is rumored that
A. E. McCullom, the one-tfme chief of
police who was discharged after he had
been proven a failure, has something to
say about the makeup of the depart
ment, and will approve the discharge
OF the competent men now on the force
and the filling of their places with ex-
spoilers and policemen who were dis
charged for cause under former admin
istrations.
Chief Eaton is besieged every hour in
the day by a dozen or more applicants
for jobs, who bring with them some
reason why present incumbent should
be discharged to make a place for
themselves. Some of the officers, who
have enjoyed a good reputation for
years, are being charged with every
crime from petit larceny to arson and
running a joint. Just how much of
this will be credited by the powers be-
hind the throne, remains to be seen.
Chief Eaton is evidently DESTROYS of
doing what is right, but political graft

was arranged, but no definite action
was taken toward the removal of pa

as Jennie and Mary. They are accused
of selling liquor in defiance of the law
at No. 116 East c. street. This street is
commonly known as East Norris street
and is in North Topeka. The place was
raided by the forces in the sheriff s
office on April 1.
The Lawsons are charged with five
counts for illegal sales of liquor and
one count with having maintained a
nuisance at the place in question. 1t is
not likely that the case will come up
for trial for some time The defendants
are out on bonds to the extent of $500

LABoRERs ASK HIGHER WAGES
Demand an Increase of Fifty Cents
Per Day.

At meeting last night of the mem
bers of the International Building La
borers' union. composed of about sixty
of the colored laborers of Topeka, the
organization voted to ask the contrac-
tors of the city for an increase of fifty
cents per day. The following resolu-
ton embodying their request was
drawn up and will be presented to
their employers:
ITO the building contractors of the
city: The International Building La
borers' union No. will ask the fol-
LOWING scale of wages to take effect on
May Is. 1907: For hod carriers and
mortar mixers, $3.50 per day; for side
wheelers, scaffold builders and other
mason helpers. $2.25 per day, eight
hours to constitute a working day.
Finding ourselves, unable to sup
port our families and pay our honest
debts at the present rate of wages with
the greatly increased price of the
necesSaries of life, we think it no more
than right that we should receive what
we are asking for
There are about sixty members of
the associate in the city. AT the
present time bod carriers and mortar
mixers receive 81 per day of eight
hours, while helpers. wheelers and
scaffold builders receive $1.75.
