He TALKED TOO MUCH.
Representative Martin Subpoenaed
Before Trickett.

W. H. Martin. representative from
Wyandotte county talked too much in
the house during the course of the de-
bate on the "inquisition BILL
Mr.. Martin declared that there were
rs Joints and 100 gambling houses in his
ward in Kansas City, and that Trickett,
the assistant attorney general knew all
about them and was making no effort to
close them up.
Mr.. Trickett came back at Mr.. Mar
tin with subpoena to come up before
him next Monday at o'clock and tell
what he knows. The inquisitfon" will
be tried on Martin himself.
IF Mr.. Martin knows of so many
gambling houses and blind tigers run
ming in Armourda1e it is more than
anyone else knows" Mr.. Trickett said.
"He will be given the chance to give
the court and myself the benefit of his
information at 2 o'clock Monday after
noon.
Representative Martin was opposing
the passage of the Ham bill, drawn by
r. S. Jackson, attorney general, when
he made the statements.
In Kansas the county attorney Is CIV
en- mower to summon before him any
nerson who has knowledge Of violation
Of the LIQUOR law for the purpose of OBJ
tanning information upon which to base
complaints. An act designed to give
the county attorney the same power

hing law is also in effect.

these SO called refunds out in truth
and in fact they were rebates. 1t is
possible, and barely probable, that he
obtained the money from his compen-
sation, he representing a very large
clientage, but while the evidence is
not clear nor satisfactory in all details
a jury could we'll find, and was JUS
titled in finding it was a fact that
money thus obtained was from the

Judge Mcpherson concluded:
"Some days since it was announced
that the defendants did not care to
prolong the contest, but would change
their pleas from not guilty to pleas of
guilty. This court believes that 1t is
its duty by reason of the foregoing
facts to show them consideration and
eliminate the Imprisonment feature,
imposing, however, substantial fines.
I'm view of the entire situation and
of all the foregoing facts and in the
full belief that the vicious practices
Of these defendants and the payments
of rebates have been stopped, and in
the belief that the practice of rebat-
ing generally over the country has

office of the United States attorney of

der of imprisonme emit.
The fine imposed upon Thomas to-
day was 81 900 heavier than that i'm
posed two years ago, while the fine
assessed against Taggart was the same
amount as previously.
Judge Mcpherson took occasion to
say that he believed the firms that ac-
cepted the rebates were as guilty as
the defendants and the railroads and
that he had never been able to under
stand why they had not been indicted
by the grand jury. He would have
liked, he said. to have had the mem

of conscience and principle. to protest

Mr. Gompers states that the services
of some of the foremost lawyers in the
country have been secured, and that
the case will be carried to the United
States supreme court. The action
against the American Federation of
Labor and its officials was brought in

ment of pension Claims on account
of physical disability were brought
