.DREYFUS OF THE K. P'S.
John A. Hinsey Restored to Rank
After Seven Years Fight.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-John A. Hinsey,
the Captain Dreyfus of the Knights of
Pythias. after suffering for several
years expulsion from his lodge on a
charge of embezzling a million dol
lars, has been exonerated and rein
stated. Hinsey, who is head OF the
claim department of the Chicago. Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway and one
time a political power in Milwaukee,
was restored at the recent biennial con-
vention of the Pythians in Boston. The
official action of the order was an
nounced here last night.
The charges against Mr.. Hinsey
were made by Ogden Fethers of
GAINESVILLE, Wis. when Fethers was
supreme chancellor. Hinsey was in
dicted and charges preferred against
him in his lodge. He fought the in
dictments and they were quashed and
all the subsequent civil suits which
were started he either won or they
were dismissed.
Throughout II all he had one friend
John C. Burns. also of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway. Mr..
Burns worked constantly to have the
whole affair investigated.
The end came at last at the Boston
convention on final roll CALL which
resulted 80 to 80 in Hinsey's favor.
Hinsey, after a seven year fight
against degradation, was restored to all
the rights and privileges and his former
good standing as a true Knights of
Pythias

MOTIVE FOR KILLING.
Possibly It Ides i'm Mrs. Hains's Suit
for Divorce.

Boston, Aug. ia possible motive
for the killing of William z. Annis at
the Bayside Yacht club last Saturday
by Captain Peter Hams, Jr., may be
found in the fact made known today
that Mrs. Hams had filed a suit for
divorce against her husband, the pa
pers having been served on Captain
Hams August 10. In her suit Mrs.
Hams made sensational charges
against her husbands character and
demanded a public hearing.
Mrs. Hams believe that Captain
Hams and his brother concluded that
Mr.. Annis was behind the bringing of
the accusations and had suggested to
Mrs. Hams that the only way she
could clear herself of the charges pre-
ferred by Captain Hams in his divorce
action was by demanding that her case
be tried In open court.
Charles H. Libbey. of Boston, father
of Mrs. Hams, said that his daughter
returned to her fathers home on June
2 after having been cruelty beaten and
illtreated by her husband. Mr. Libbey
said that Captain Hams attacked his
wife at Fort Hamilton last May and
after the beating he is alleged to have
given her. medical aid had to be called
In, her body having been covered with
outs and bruises.

KANSAS DOES WELL.
Little Child Labor Here Thanks to Mr..
johnson.

your child labor conditions in
Kansas are good, not so much because
of your excellent laws as because of
the work which is being done by w.
A. L. Johnson, your state labor COM
missioner
This is the statement of Stephen P.
Morris, special representative of the
National Child Labor committee, who
was IN Topeka Tuesday, and assisted
in the organization of a state child la
Dor committee.
The meeting was held at the High
school auditorium, and was attended
by Warden Haskell of the state peni-
Tertiary, J. S. Simmons, of the Re-
formatory board, and many other
prominent people interested in the
movement.
Mr.. Morris said in speaking of Kan
sas conditions: Your labor commits
sioner. Mr.. Johnson. has been doing
wonderful work to bring child labor
under proper control in this state. He
has co-operated with the school auth
critics, and has made an excellent rec
ord. There is some child labor in the
packing houses. candy and box fac
tories at Kansas City. in the coal
mines at Pittsburg and in the glass
factories at Coffeyville. but it is all
under proper supervision and re-
straint.
You should have some additional
legislation here so that the continue
ton of such conditions will not de-
pend upon the sympathies of a good
official like Mr.. johnson. but should
be insured. regardless of who the Of
ficials may be-"

OF the schools more equitably, so that
it may not be regarded by any as an
unjust burden but as an investment
which will contribute in the largest
way to the welfare of the entire city.
If the progress which has been made
in the past few years is continued. and
if the schools are operated at the low
est cost to the taxpayers consistent
with the efficiency of the schools, there
Is ground for reasonable expectation
that the expense of maintaining the
schools in the following years will rela-
lively decrease.
Six and three-tenths mills is the tax
levy schedule which will be submitted
to the ways and means committee OF
the council at it's meeting on Wednes-
day evening. 1t is probable that this
levy will be approved by the commit
tee and in turn by the council on
Thursday evening.
In the previous schedules the levy for
Marshalrs band was entirely forgotten
and unprovided for. The city made a
contract with MarshalPs that in turn
for free weekly band concerts at the
various city parks a levy returning
something like $500 would be provided
for and the city was obliged to provide
for this levy.
In the revised schedule as presented
this provision has been made. The
first schedule submitted called for a
levy of 7.9 mills or $350,000. the present
one of 6.3 represents s279,090 or close to
$71 900 of a reduction.
The proposed increase in the water
works funds is not made and it re-
mains practically at the same figure
that obtained in 1907. The reduction in
water rates therefore cannot come
about on January LIST and consumers of
city water will have to be content with
the one reduction made on July LIST for
one year at least.

made a moderate increase in the levy
for 1907 and advanced the salaries Of
teachers in the elementary schools so
that those who receive the highest SAL
airy. in their tenth year of service, may
now receive $500 per month for
nine months, or $4,000 per year. The
action of the board in advancing the
salaries of the teachers, upon whose
efforts the value of the schools to the
community depends, has been general
ly approved. and there is no question
about the city receiving full returns
for the money thus expended.
1.-THE following table shows that
aside from the increase in salaries
there has been an actual decrease in
the general cost of maintaining the
schools in the last three years This
is somewhat remarkable in view of
the extra expense involved in the an
nexation of the State street and Quin-
ton Heights schools within this per-
iod; and the growth of the high
school, which in 1898 enrolled only 8
per cent of the total enrolment of the
city schools. while in 1908 the high
school enrolment was over II per
| cent of the total for the city. The in
crease in the cost of teachers salaries
| from year to year is accounted for In
part by the advance in the salaries of
teachers in the elementary schools,
and in part by the necessity for in
creasing the number of teachers in
| the high school. and also by the fact
| that fewer teachers of limited exper-
| fence are employed at the minimum
salary In the. elementary schools.

This is the levy as proposed now:

Decidd efforts are being made in
most of the cities and counties of the
state to make a showing of reduced
taxes, though here and there are in
stances of similar problems that con-
front the taxpayers of Topeka. The
tax levy for the Abilene county high
school is causing considerable com
plant on account of it's size and it is
stated that a protest will be filed on
account of its size. The Abilene Re
Hector says: at is said that the high
school board expects to use some of the
money to build an addition to the
school building but it would seem that
the right way to raise money for that
is to issue bonds"

with the school plant as now pro-
vided, including buildings, furniture
and equipment. there is no reason TO
anticipate any considerable increase In
the general operating expenses of the
schools within the next few years,
even IL the normal growth of the city
in population and wealth should con-
tinue.
During the past year the cost of the
schools has been kept well within the
amount available for their support,
and a reduction of nearly $4,000 has
been made in the amount of unpaid
warrants drawn on the general fund In
previous years. For 190S-1909 levy of
ITO mills will provide for the support
of the schools and for the retirement
of a like amount of outstanding in
terest bearing warrants.
Eject of the New Tax Law.
I'm providing for the support of the
schools for 190S-1909 it is not necessary
to take advantage of the increase in
the valuation of taxable property re-
sulting from the change in the method
of assessment In 1907 the increase in
the valuation over 1906 was $433, 1903. 90.
If there had been the same increase in
1908, with no change in the method OF
, assessment, a tax levy of 20 mills for
all purposes including general support,
buildings, and interest on bonds the
same as in 1907. would have produced
S25S, 230. So, which lacks but $7-S35-00 of
the amount which would be raised by a
6 mill levy on the new valuation
1T is to be hoped and expected that
the effect of the new tax law will be
to distribute the burden OF the support
