The Governor also stated that Tom had been a model convict, rendering much assistance upon state capital work and to the sec retary of the capital commission he also stated his pardon would serve as an incentive of reward to other convicts.

 None of the Whitehouse rela- tives could afford to pay for lot in the cemetery, so he would have been buried in a pauper's grave had it not been for J. F. Wood Mr. Wood was a member of a Kansas regiment during tue Civil war and when he learned that the deceased had belonged to the 2ud Kansas regiment in the Spanish American war, he practically do- mated his work and use of his hearse and used the money allow ed by the railroad for his work to buy a lot in the Odd Fellows cemetery.

LAWYERS ID PROBE
KANSAS CITY BAR ASSOCIATION TO INVESTIGATE LOSS OF
 GRAND JURY NoTEs.
COMMITTEE MEETING CALLED
Requesr of Prosecuting Attorney conk ling for an Investigation Has Been Referred to Grievance Committee by President Reynolds.

Kansas City. April 27,-It now ap pears certain that the loss of the grand jury notes fin the Hyde case will be in vestigated by the Kansas City Bar as. sociation
 A meeting of the grievance commit tee of the association has been called by Alfred Gregory chairman, to dis cuss the matter. Mir. Gregory said he was not sure the committee would get together at once, because of the short notice given some of the members wha had other engagements. meeting will be held at any rate at the earliest time possible. T. H. Reynolds, presi dent. has been asked by Mir Gregory to meet with the committee.
 MT. Reynolds, who received the let ter of Virgil Conkling. prosecuting at torney, asking an investigation, said he would refer the communication to the chairman of the grievance com mittee. He said MT Conkling's let ter. in his opinion, constituted suffi cient complaint to justify proceedings by the committee
 Under the bylaws of the associa tion." he said, "the grievance commit tee is charged with the investigation of these matters, and if it subsequent ly recommends that special commit tee be appointed, it shall be done. and that committee will be charged with the duty of prosecuting to such an ex tent as the association may direct. and the association pays the costs of the proceedings
 MT. Gregory said that there would be no partisanship in the investigation.
 T notice the county prosecutor makes the suggestion that partisanshir may have something to to with it." he said. 50 far as I am concerned. desire to see fair and impartial in. quiry into the matter. and am strong ly in favor of the appointment of a special committee to make the inquiry If it can be done under our bylaws do not even know the political com plexion of our grievance committed members and do not care what theil politics are"
 The members of the grievance com mittee are: John I. Williamson. Landry Harwood, J. s. Botsford. H. L. Jost and Aired Gregory MT. lost is an assist ant prosecutor and probably would not serve if the grievance committee make the inquiry. Of the grievance commit tee as at present constituted, William son, Harwood and Jost are Democrats and Gregory and Botsford Republicans The grievance committee therefore is bipartisan with Mir.

HEAVY FROST HURT TENDER VEGETABLES
More Damage to Crops Here Monday Night Than Sundays Freeze Fruit Injured Little From
 Present Indications.

Frost Monday night followed the freeze of Sunday night and, of the two, the former did most damage. Much corn will have tu be replinted, though most of it will not be killed. Tomatoes. beans and potatoes and som other tender garden truck were badly nipped, and gardening iis general got bad backset. Tn \ seed merchants are doing good business today ia seed for re planting.
 The peaches, protected as thew were by ample foliage, were littleI harmed, only those on the topI and outer limbs suffering. Gen. orally speaking, the trees still have more young fruit than they can mature.
 Polk county farmers generally have not planted cotton yet, and little of that in the ground IS up where it could be hurt.
 Along the Kansas City Southern.
 The following is a message sent by Superintendent E. II. Holden of the Southern division of the Kansas City Southern re. garding the condition of fruits and vegetables on part of his district:
 Hattield--Vegetables ruined.
 Granuis- No damage to peaches, very little to berries; vegetables all killed.
 De Queen No damage to peaches; berries damaged con- siderably; vegetables ruined.
 Gillham = Vegetables ruined, about 75 per cent damage to ber- ries and peaches.
 Horafio-No damage to peache {; vegetables ruined, no damage to berries.
 {, c. Greene, the chief dispatched here, sent the following message to w. Coughlin, general manager lof the road, concerning the con- ditions on the district between | Stilwell and Mena:
 "Heayy frost and some ice oyer distri;t Monday night. All truck reported badly damaged and in majority of places killed. Corn killed to ground, but farmers think it will come out. Fruit and berries not appreciably Tn. jured."
 The Cold Elsewhere. The reports from other points indicate that this unreasonable cold spell was very general. ex- tending all over Tennessee. the most part oi Louisiana. Georgia and Alabama. In the Dakotas there is snow three feet deep on the level with drifting to many times that depth.
 This county, being largely guarded, as tits, by the mountain ranges, has suffered less than many farther south.
