BABB TO GET BAIL.
Judge Decides That Murder Is Bail
able Offense

John Babb. bound over to the district
court without bail, charged with murder
in the first degree for the killing of Will
Smart, a negro, on Santa Fe train No.
II, October Is, will be allowed to furnish
bond. This was the indication given at
the close of a hearing on a motion before
Judge Dana in the district court this
morning The matter was taken under
advisement as to the amount of bond re-
CURED but it will probably be either 1000
or $4,000, the former sum recommended
torney 7. !. Schenck.
In binding Babb over for trial in the
district court during the January term,
Judge E. R. Simon at the preliminary
hearing in the court of Topeka stated
that his best judgment without investga
ton. was that the charge of murder in
the first degree admitted of no bail and
suggested a motion before the district
court. The county attorney had argued
that the offenSe permitted of no bail and
the judge held the same view.
Judge Joseph Reed for the defense con-
tended that it was bailable. Otis Hun
gate was retained by Babb to associate
with Reed in the trial. They showed to
all but offenses punishable by death are
bailable, the amendment enacted to the
statutes of 1907 repeating death sentences
consequently makes all charges bailable.

GATHER IN FORCE.
Lawyers Invade the Commercial Club
Today.

1t appeared as though the business
men of the city like flies were at
tracted to the Commercial club quar-
tiers this noon. When the 149th man
made his appearance on the scene Or
ders were given to the effect that it
was impossible to accommodate the
150th arrival who came in due course
OF time.
In the room occupied by the Tope-
ka Advertising club at their noon
hour meetings was a gathering of ST
members of the Shawnee Bar as
ISOLATION who met for a social good
time. In the small private room met
eleven of the principals of the city
schools upon the invitation of Supt.
L: D. Whittemore. There was also
another meeting of the Good Roads
committee of the Commercial club
with the idea of planning the financial
side of arrangements for the coming
convention of the National Good
Roads association.
The meeting of the lawyers was
considered great success and 1t was
decided to hold similar gatherings
each Saturday at the noon hour. At
ter considerable discussion, of the
question it was decided to eliminate
business from these meetings and
make them purely social in nature.
Judge Dana WHO expressed the be-
lief that meetings of this description
part:
1.-The social life among the lawyers
of the city has been sadly neglected
It has been work, work, work.
1.-The delays in legal proceedings he
continued, "have attracted the atten-
ton of the president of the United
States They are greater than they
ought to be. 1t is impossible for the
trial court to do more than simply be
a moderator. think that the trial
judge might be allowed more liber-
ties than he is in the western states.
II am very much in favor of these
meetings. The members of the Shaw
nee Bar association seem to take less
| interest for the good of the associa-
ton, not only in a social but in bust
ness way than they should. If we car
only get together and stand together
and have an understanding that we
are all members of one profession il
would be good thing"

association and the members of the

70 earth. In the policemen's union
the officers have a formidable weapon
with which to fight the crusaders. 1t
is possible there will be a stirring ap-
l cal to Governor Deneen to include a
demand for legislation in his message
al the special session of the legislature.
He will be asked to request the enact
nent of q bill empowering the chief
OF police to discharge any department
mead at his discretion. The officers
hold that this would make a veritable
car out of the chief.
Walter Fisher, the famous civic
leader, is taking an active hand in the
fight. He has a powerful organization
Of citizens behind him and he is the
kind of a man that fights to a finish.
A study of the constitution and by
laws of the union" reveals that the
whole plan of the organization is
copied from that of The policemen's
union of New York.
In New York, it has been charged,
the policemen's union possesses and
exercises the power of getting" any
police official whose head it goes after.
At one time, in order to throw" an
unpopular commissioner, the whole de-
tartrent went on strike" disregard
ing orders from headquarters and en-
forcing the excise laws so vigorously
that the mayor was compelled to re-
,.love the unpopular police chief in
order to patch up a peace with the
politicians, WHO Hdu peen urIVen into
{, state of frenzy.
It is said that every police commits
c.oner in New York within recent years
has owed his downfall to the machina-
lions of the policemen's union and that
Police Commissioner Bingham's recent
fall was due to the fact that the
union" got him.
From the city hall recently have
come numerous reports that there is a
rebellion among the policemen against
certain reforms which Chief of Police
Steward is trying to inaugurate. A
rpecif1c instance was cited three days
ago with reference to orders of the
chief relative to gambling and the
search for the bomb throwers.

Federation May Ask Churches OBJ

Toronto, Ont, Nov. 13.-"Labor Sun
cay" is a suggestion laid before the
American Federation of Labor in a
resolution introduced at today's session
by Secretary Frank Morrison. The res
olution would designate the first Sun
day in September of each year. as an
occasion when the churches of America
devote some part of the day to a pre-
sentation of the labor question. It also
recommends that the various central
and local labor bodies be required to
cooperate in every legitimate way with
ministers who thus observe laborers'
day.
