CALHOUN WINS
PRESIDENCY Of
ORANGE COUNCIL
Chosen to Head 1909 Body After
Contest With Raymond
E. Smith.
JOSEPH A. BIRKHOLZ is
MADE MAJORITY LEADER
Arrangements Made for Reforms
in System of Paying Off De,
partment Employees.

Following a contest between Courcil-
men William A. Calhoun and Raymond
e. Smith, both representatives of the
Second ward of Orange in the Common
Council of that city, the Republican
members of the 1909 body, at a caucus
last night. decided upon Mr.. Calhoun as
president of the incoming Council.
which will organize on Friday at noon.
There had developed opposition to Mr..
Calhoun's choice as presiding officer,
but it was not sufficient to change the
sentiment to victory of his colleague.
Majority Leader Joseph A. Birkholz,
who has been in charge of the manage.
ment of affairs from the floor during
the year, was the unanimous choice of
his colleagues for the same position
next year. The caucus also decided to
rename Building Inspector William
Henry M. Matthews for the usual term,
as his period of Office expires with the
present year. The committee forms
lions for the coming year were only
tentatively arranged and there will be
several establishments. Councilman Ed
ward Cheetham, chairman of the wa
ter committee, the only body drawing
a salary in addition to service as Coun-
Gilman, will be renamed.
Owing to the large number of special
and adjourned meetings during the
year, the Council decided to meet regu-
larly twice every month on the first
and third Mondays. At the present
time there is scheduled but me meeting
a month, though several other meetings
are usually arranged for. Last year
there were on an average three meet
ings every month.
Following an arrangement to create n
reform in the system of paying off de-
partment employees and which was
suggested by Mayor Shoenthal last
week in his final message to the body.
the caucus last night decided that
hereafter each employee of the city
should receive his voucher from the
city directly and hat no department
head should be constituted as paymas-
| ter TO dispense the money to his subor-
dinates.
Another change decided upon was
f! that providing for the treatment of
| bills to come before Council. The ar
rangement now in vogue is for the bill
to be received at an open meeting, read,
referred to committee, to travel through
| subcommittee, receive signatures of
members, then reach the finance COM
mittee and finally be ordered paid by
Council. II the future all bills will go
direct to the auditor. who will certify
to their correction and see that proper
affidavit is attached. After that the
members will o K them and order them
paid in committee.

A BRAVE WOMAN.
Returns Suddenly to Her House
and Finds Burglar.
With the Aid of a Pitchfork She
Induces Him to Leave.
MOVED TOO SLOWLY.
Little Bourbon County Lady
Then Tried ShO' gun.
Marched Thief Before Her TO a
Gang f Section Men
Who, Instead of Helping Her,
Advised Her to Release Him.

Fort Scott, Kan, Dec. IA story of
heroism on the part of Mrs. John
Thomas who resides near Edwards
Junction has reached this city.
Mrs. Thomas had for some time been
working around the yard, and on re-
turning to the house she found a
strange man ransacking one of the
rooms in search of valuables. She qui
etly secured a pitchfork, and entering
the house compelled him to leave, hold
ing the pitchfork in threatening po
sition and telling him that she would
jab him with it if he did not go at
once. He left the house, but seemed
to be in no hurry of escaping, evident
ly thinking that she would do nothing
more after he had gone.
AS soon as he left the house Mrs.
Thomas secured a shotgun and loading
it went after the intruder She caught
him only a short distance from the
house, and pointing the gun at him or
dered him to throw up his hands and
march towards the junction. She fol-
lowed closely behind telling him that
she would shoot if he attempted to
turn around or make move other than
as directed by her. Sne marched him
to the junction, intending to telephone
for the officers, but on arriving there
she found a number of men employed
on the section. She asked that they
search him, but they refused. She then
stated that If they would cover him
with the gun she would do the search
ing The men told her that she had
done wrong in marching him to the
junction and advised her to release
him, which she finally did, after or
dering him to get away as fast as pos
sible.
Had the men displayed one-half the
pluck that Mrs. Thomas did, or had
they remain silent and let her done as
she wished. there would have been an
other burglar to bury or try at the next
term of the district court.

Samuel Wynan of Reno County Weary
of Life Shot Himself.

Hutchinson. Kan, Dec. 7.-Samuel
Wyman, father of John NJ Wyman of
this city, and who has been living with
another son, Dawson Wyman, in Bell
township, was found dead at the farm.
The body was lying submerged in a
tank of water when discovered by his

head told the story.
Just after breakfast Dawson went
out to the field to shuck corn. He re-
turned to the house about II o'clock
and it was then that he found the dead
body of his father. Dawson is a single
man about 3S years old and he and his
father, who was 76 years Old lived to-
gether and alone at the farm, which Is
two miles west and three-quarters of d
mile south of Lerado.
He had been i'll for long time and
had suffered much pain. He had often
made the remark that he might as
well get out of the world and cease to
be a bother and end the pain" These
spells of depression came on him ire
quently of late and it is thought he
must have been respondent.

FARM LANDS DAMAGED.
Suit Asking Spring River Power Com

Columbus, Kan, Dec. IA suit
asking that the Spring River Power
company be enjoined from operating
it's big water power plant at Lowell.
south of this city, has been filed in
the district court here by Captain H.
r. Hubbard. one of the largest land
owners in Cherokee county. Hub
bard in his suit, says that the dam
built by the Spring River Power COM
pany, which cost 1 million dollars,
was constructed contrary to the laws
of the Kansas statutes and for this
reason the company should be en-
joined from operating the plant.
In the building of the dam thou
sands of acres of rich farming land on
either side of the river for miles up
it's course were practically destroyed.
This invasion of the river affected a
large body of Hubbard's land, which
he asks that the court grant him
damages to the extent of $4,000. At
the present time plans are under way
to take over the holdings of the
Spring River Power company and
merge them into a II million dollar
corporation for the purpose of giving
greater power and fuel to the Joplin
and Pittsburg mining district.

The presidents comments on the
Panama editorial are based on state
ments made by a prominent New York
paper. not the New York Sun which
the Indianapolis News printed at the
same time, with many other papers,
giving full credit to the source from
which they obtained it. In making th,,
editorial comment to which the presi-
dent takes exception the editor of the
News credited its information to the
New York paper making the charge
and distinctly disclaimed any respon-
sibility for its accuracy. This editorial
was published in the ordinary course
of the daily routine of the editorial
department at a time when I was
absent from Indianapolis, and there
fore could not have been inspired by
any personal motive.
During the campaign information
reached me that Mr.. F'oulke had in his
possession a letter of the nature of the
one now made public and I was further
Informed that 1t was left by the presi
dent to Mr.. Foulke's judgment whether
the letter should be used in the cam
paign. When this information reached
me I at once telephoned Mr.. Foulke ex-
tending to him the use of the columns
of the News for this purpose but Mr..
Foulke did not see fit to avail himself
of the opportunity during the cam
paign. So much for the personal criti-
cism of me by the president. The News
will deal editorially with the presidents
explanation in due time"
