with violations of the pure food law.

State House Doesn't Offer Places for
Legislative Committees.

The state executive council has
quite a serious problem on its hands
in the matter of providing committee
rooms for the house of representa-
tives. At this time there is only one
a distinct committee room, while the
senate has six or eight very small
rooms. However, the senate can get
along, but something must be done
for the house.
Since the last session the executive
council has had to provide four new
rooms in the state house for the tax
commission, one additional room for
the board of health and two addition

now occupied by other officials in diff

There should be at least six ex-

means, railroads, elections and two or
three others should have large rooms
where they could keep important pa
pers and hold sessions with conven-
fence and comfort.

small, will do at a pinch. But the

Granville Men Accused of Fleeing
Oregon Farmer on Trial.

The preliminary hearing of the case
of the state against D. D. Burroughs
and William Quinlan was begun this
morning in the court of Topeka before
Judge Simon. Fred Briody, the COM
planning witness who was f1eeced out of
$685. repeated his story as it appeared
in last nights State Journal His tes-
timony is especially weighty because he
is positive that these are the men, and
that upon being arrested, Quinlan adj
mitted before an officer, that he had
seen Briody before, and Burroughs ad-
mitted that he and Quinlan had ridden
on the train with Briody.
Upon cross examination by Robert
Stone, counsel for the defense, he
questioned only upon the amount of
money Briody had expended in reach
ing Topeka.
More than a hundred friends of the
accused were present in the court room.
The prominence of the families of the
defendants serve to make the case one
of much interest. There are many re-
putable people in Granville and New
man who will swear that Quinlan was
at home at the time Briody was robbed
and Burroughs also has an alibi.
