Mayor Billiard could not be expected
to retain him. 1t is not known just at
the present who will be selected to
head the police, but Mayor Billiard
takes Office on Friday next and it is
almost certain he will announce his
appointment to this position within a
few days at the latest.
Chief Eaton is expected to resign.
Reports to this effect were heard upon
the streets today. Seen in regard to
them, the head of the police depart
ment said: 81 have no statement to
make as to my future at the present
time"
Defeat With Grace.
Mayor Green is taking his defeat at
the polls with grace. He was at his
office in the City building, as usual,
this morning and appeared to be un-
concerned. Speaking to a State Jour
nal reporter, the mayor said: II was
defeated for reelection by the voters
of Topeka. AS to the causes which
led to that defeat there is but little to
say. The vote of Tuesday shows to me
that the people of this city stand for
an open Sunday-that is Sunday the
aterS and places of amusement, re-
gardless of what the state law says
upon that subject. 1 suppose I was
beaten because 1 was not giving that
kind of administration. I tried to give
the voters an honest, law enforcing
government, but the vote of Tuesday
was not an endorsement of that kind
votes, to my mind, declared for an
open Sunday. But they can not have
it, 1 was not the father of the Sunday
closing measure. I simply carried out
the state law. The liberal vote de-
feated me.
Proud of Administration.
GAS to my administration, 1 want to
say that I am proud of 1t. I kept my
oath of office. I carried out the law
to the letter. just as I found it.
tried to do my duty, my whole duty,
without fear or favor and I am proud
to say that 400 or more citizens
thought 1 did. 1 want to thank my
many, many friends who worked for
me in my fight. L have nothing to
complain Of made my fight. I was
defeated. I gave the people the best
that was in me. The voters decided
they wanted a change. I can go out
of office feeling that I have done my
duty"
Tandy Would Make Good.
Commissioner w. G. Tandy: ct
knew 1 would be a winner. 1 have
hundreds Of friends in this old town
and they elected me. / am going into
Office to give Topeka the best I can
in the way of work and thought. What
I want to do is to make good. I am
going to Justify the confidence i'm
posed in me by doing my best every
minute"

Mrs. Evans Frightfully Mis-
treated at County Jail.
Autopsy Proves She Was Sick
All the Time.
HAD HEART TROUBLE.
Also Suffering With Severe Case
of Pneumonia.
Physicians Had Her Doused
With Cold Water.

Mrs. D. E Evans, who died at the
st. Francis hospital Monday morning
after having been removed to that in
stitution from the county Jail, did not
die of starvation. Such is the report of
DR.. H. H. Keith, coroner, after an
autopsy held over the woman at 8
O'Clock this morning by Drs. Men
ninger, MaGee, Keith and Amis. The
autopsy was held at the Bomgardner
undertaking rooms.
Neither was Mrs. Evans shamming the
stupor in which she lay for several days
at the county Jail, according to these
same physicians. That Stupor- was
caused by a heart trouble which weak
ened the woman and probably assisted
materially in ending her Iife.'
Pneumonia in one of it's worst
stages caused the death of the woman
who was charged with planning with
G. v. Stamey to burn household goods
and collect the insurance money Her
lungs were solid. There was no indi-
cation that starvation had caused her
death. Organs which would have been
affected had such been the case were in
normal condition. The woman was fat.
This would not have been the case had
she starved to death.
Physicians Were Wrong.
And so, it seems, the physicians who
stated that the woman was shamming
and advised the officers to throw cold
water upon her and strike her with
their hands were not only mistaken and
caused a sick woman additional suffer-
ing but caused men who would not
misuse any prisoner much less a wo-
man, to take part In it.
The woman was the victim of a heart
trouble which caused these spells ac-
cording to a statement made by DIR.
Keith this morning after the autopsy.
She was not shamming.
'I examined the woman long time
ago and found her in bad condition"
said DR.. Keith this morning. Her
pulse at that time was 160 and her
heart was wearing itself out as fast
in the valves of the organ, caused these
spells of stupor which it was later an
nounced were sham. But they were
Did Not Starve.
s'The woman did not starve herself to
death. She was fat Her illness had
emaciated her to some extent but she
did not die for want of nourishment
She caught bad cold some way. That
settled on her lungs and killed her. Her
lungs were solid. No wonder she died.
s'I do not believe anyone is criminally
responsible for the death of the woman
and there will be no inquest. merely
held the autopsy to determine what
caused the death Of the woman and we
cerned the case is now at an end"
In Pauper's Grave.
Unless the dead womans relatives
are heard from before Saturday the
body will be buried in Potter's field.

clared officially elected by the city
council Friday night. Each candidate
for mayor carried their wards.
1t was one of the most exciting ard
enthusiastic elections in the history of
Topeka and according to the campaign
literature distributed before the cleo
tion, was a clean victory for the So
called wet" and a defeat for the
branded "drys." In fact there was no
such thing as wet and dry ticket,
in the common sense of the word, but
it pleased the will of certain campaign
ers to name it thus-and they lost the
day.
]. B. Billiard and H. P. Miller won out
easily over their opponents as repre-
eentatives of the so-called wet tick
ct. Billiard and Miller ran side by side
all through the city and even carried
their banners right through the Green
precincts without the tattering of a
thread. Miller came within but two
votes of running even with Billiard and
in the Green wards, Miller ran far
ahead of Billiard on his own ticket.

and shame that San Francisco should
be seoffed at in such manner.
Both have. expressed their intention
of going to the interior department
Monday morning and making an en-
deavor to secure the inside information
of the department for the home city.
Representative Hayes and L intend
to. see Secretary Ballinger Monday
morning about the Hetch Hetchy mat
ter said Kahn tonight There is no
reason why San Francisco should not
be allowed access to this data, and I
consider the treatment it has received
at the hands of the department an in
justice to the city.
Il feel sure that we will get the data.
1t strikes me that it would be a wise
move on the part of San Francisco to
send several engineers with the dele
cation coming here, in order that they
can go over the government en-
gineers figures"
Hayes was no less emphatic in his
declarations that San Francisco was
receiving. a raw deal He said:
Mr.. Kahn and l are going to the
interior department Monday morning
