DODDRIDGE ON STAND.
Cross Examination of Former Missouri
Pacific Official Is Continued.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 11.-When
the hearing of the railroad rate case
was resumed in the federal court here
this morning, w. B. Doddridge, for
mer general manager of the Missouri
Pacific road, again took the witness
stand. Continuing his cross examina-
ton of yesterday, F. w. Lehman an
attorney for the state, sought to dis
prove Mr.. Doddridge's statement of
yesterday that it costs the railways
twice as much to earn dollar haul
ing state freight as it does to make
the same amount hauling interstate
traffic
isn't it true there is a delay and
expense attached to getting interstate
freight through a large terminal point
such as Chicago" asked Attorney
Lehman.

less delay was the reply.

not?"

Spouse OF Mr.. Doddridge.
There is a similar delay of about
80 hours in getting freight through st.
Louis? % continued Lehman.
'"rhat depends on conditions, though
I would say freight is usually delayed
there at least one day.
On further questioning Mr.. bod
bridge agreed that the through freight
was really local freight at the points
where it was picked up and where it
was delivered and that the two classes
were to great degree dependent on

Mr.. STUBBS IS COMING
His Time Will Be Taken Up With
Appointments.

w. R. Stubs is expected to come to
Topeka some time this week and then
there VIII be a lot of buZzing about ap-
polntments- Many statesmen have
neen making the pilgrimage to Law
renee for the purpose of talking things
over with the next governor, and OF
course there are rumors about how the
various jobs will be parcelled out.
The close friends of Stubs say that
he is making no promises and will not
have his slate ready for announcement
until after he is inaugurated. 1t is the
general opinion that Stubs as gov
ernor will make good appointments.
His long experience in big business al
fairs have doubtless shown him the
importance of selecting men for Varl-
Gus jobs with reference to their ab1l1ty
rather than their influence. Mr.. Stubs
broke into politics five years ago as d
champion of business administrator
of state affairs, and a denouncer OF the
custom of giving jobs as reward Tor
political services. 1t is up to Mr.
Stubs to continue that policy as gov
ernor, and his friends believe he Will
do it.
The place where Mr. Stubs is likely
to get into hot water as governor OF
Kansas will be his lack of tact and
Stubs is a believer In the
doctrine of the Big Stick, and he uses
the stick to accomplish his ends he IS
hated by many politicians because they
say he is dictatorial, domineering and
to listen to reason. They say
that he will go down in Kansas politi-
cal history as Stubs the stubborn
But as governor Mr.. Stubs may FOOL
people who are expecting him to de-
velope the tyrannical characteristics OF
a Turkish potentate-
The administration of Mr.. Stubs is
an important one for the Republican
party for it may either cement the
party into a strong and cohesive organ
izatfon. or it may split 1t into hostile
camps which will bring about its ruin
in the next campaign.

STUBS BACKS GETTY.
Wants to Have Wyandotte Man Seated
as Senator.

Concerning the contest which James
F. Getty is going to make for the of
flee of state senator from Wyandotte
county, the Kansas City journal says:
1t was announced from Republican
headquarters that Governor-elect w.
the seating of Senator Getty and is
anxious to contest the election. Mr..
Getty was the leader of the square
dealers" in the senate at the last ses-
sion and the dope is that Governor
Stubs wants him as his best man in
the senate at the coming session.
While the new governor is not TAX
ing any hand in the local contest, he
was very anxious that Mr.. Getty be re-
elected and returned to the senate, as
he needs him for a leader in that
branch of the legislature" said Chair
man J. w. Radford of the county COM
mittee. Mr.. Getty was one of the most
aggressive members of the last senate
and he is just the man to back up Mr..
Stubs and his policies"
The fact that Governor-elect Stubs
is interested in Mr.. Getty. will, it is
thought, help his chances of being seat
ed. Should he succeed in retaining his
seat in the senate he will lead the ad-
ministration forces in that branch of
the legislature.
1t is also announced that three other
Republican candidates who were de-
feated at the recent Wyandotte county
election will join with Mr.. Getty in
making the contest. The four con-
testants will be Senator James F. Get
ty, Judge L. c. True DR.. A W. Lit
tie and Louie Chapman. It was an
nounced that papers will be prepared
and filed at once, Notwithstanding the
fact that Getty and True have until
January 1 to file. All four contests will
be filed at the same time and a joint
fight made.
Judge True was defeated for the court
of common pleas judgeship by H j.

BAIL IS DENIED MORSE.
He May Get Out When Bill of Partic-

New York Nov. 11.-Bafl has been
denied Charles w. Morse, the finan-
cier, who has been sentenced to Is
years Imprisonment at hard labor, at
the closing of the United States cir
cult court of appeals, and it now
seems certain that the former multi
millionaire must remain in the Tombs
prison at least until December 3, next
when argument on the writ of error
that has been granted him may come
up.
Judge Lacombe. Ward and Coke of
the United States court of appeals
rendered the decision. One loopho1e
is left open to Morse's counsel in the
decision and that is that the judges
decided that while bail was denied it
was done without prejudice to a re-
newal of the appeal after a bill of
particulars is fled"

E. Il. Marshall Appointed Assis-
tant Bank Commissioner.
Ben Johnson of Topeka Is Given
Place as Examiner.
BOOST FOR ALBRIGHT.
Spanish War Veterans Pass
Resolutions Endorsing Him.
Ask That He Be Retained by
Governor Stubs.

The first official act of Capt. w. S.
Albright, the new state bank commits
sioner. was to appoint E. E. Marshall
as his assistant. Mr.. Marshall has
been one of the examiners of the de-
partment, but fell and broke his leg a
few months ago. He has been unable
to get around much since. Before be-
coming connected with the bank de-
partment he was superintendent of the
Hutchinson reformatory.
To succeed Mr.. Marshall as bank ex-
aminer, Capt. Albright appointed Ben
johnson of Topeka who was one of the
nation for sheriff at the recent pri-
mary. Mr.. Johnson was formerly en-
ployed in the state treasurer's office.
A boom has been started for Capt.
Albright as head of the bank depart
ment under the Stubs administration.
1t is likely that if J. N. Dolley does not
want the place it will go to Albright
Dolley can probably pick any job he
wants under Governor Stubs, and it
has been regarded as likely that he will
choose to be bank commissioner. In
that case Albright would have to stand
back. Otherwise the chances are eX-
cellent for Albright's appointment.
Capt. Albright was a captain in the
Twentieth Kansas, and at a meeting of
the United Spanish War Veterans held
in this city last night a resolution was
adopted endorsing Capt. Albright for
bank commissioner and urging w. r.
Stubs to appoint him to this office.
This meeting was addressed by Col. E.
c. Little of Abilene, department COM
mander of Kansas. The resolutions
follow:
'Whereas, Captain w. S, Albright
has recently been appointed state
bank commissioner for an unexpired
term by Governor Hocn; and
Whereas, We believe that such ap-
pointment is based, first upon Captain
Albright's we'll known fitness for the
position and. second, upon his excel
lent personal character both as
citizen and as a soldier; therefore
be it
Camp No. 8, that we hereby heartily
indorse and approve the action of
Governor Hoch in making said APP
pOintment for an unexpired term, and
we further strongly urge upon Gov
ernor-elect w. r. Stubs the claims of
Captain Albright to an appointment
for the full term to succeed himself;
thorough acquaintance with the work
Of the banking department, his well
known industry in the service of the
state make him an ideal man for the
position; and for these reasons, as
well as for the reason that he was a
soldier of honorable record in the
war with Spain, we most earnestly re-
quest that at the end of the short
term of which he has just been ap-
pointed, he be appointed to the full
term to which his record justly en-
titles him. Be it further
resolution be handed to the news
papers of this city and that a copy
hereof be forwarded by the adjutant
to w. r. Stubs, Governor-elect."

To Statements Made in Council About
Topeka Bread.

To the Editor Of the State Journal:
The council proceedings in the State
Journal of the 10th inst. in regard to
the bakers of the city making ''un-
healthy, soggy and half cooked" bread
full of alum to give it size and acid
to give it the proper weight" is not
only untrue in every particular but
gross wrong to the business interests
of a class of citizens who have the
health and welfare of our city quite as
much at heart as any of the council
men who INDUCED in such wanton re-
marks as you attribute to them. Even
if we were dishonest enough to use
such means to sell our bread we would
not be allowed to do so as the pura
food inspector makes a thorough eX-
animation of our products too often to
permit it. We do not use alum or acid
or any other deleterious substances in
our bread and we think you should cor
rect the false impression the report is
calculated to make.

He was Quietly Lynched.

Beloxi, Miss, Nov. ia negro

criminal assault upon Eliza May Haus-

taken from his cell in the Jail here last
night by an armed mob of several hum

half mile from town. The young girl
was assaulted by the negro on a road
near Backbay. After beating her over
the head, he dragged her into a nearby
wood where he left her lying for dead
in a pool of blood. He was captured
and taken with his bloodstained clothes
before the girl who positively identified
him.
