The report was presented by James

Mr.. Leonard reported that where the

MAX WARDALL BUSY.
Removes Seattle Chief of Police just
Before Mayor Returns.

Seattle, Wash. Sept 30-Charles w.
Wappenstein was removed from the Of
flee of chief of police by Acting Mayor
Max WardaH at 4:3o o'clock Thursday
afternoon, two hours before Mayor
Hiram C. Gill returned from his three
weeks yachting cruise in northern wa
ters.
Acting Mayor Wardall kept his ac-
tion secret until late last night. The
removal is a result Of the charges that
force the law in the restricted district
and that there are laxness and irregu-
larities in the police force.
Wappenstein Reappointed.
Chief of Police Charles w Wappen-
stein, who was removed from office
yesterday by Acting Mayor Max War
dali was redppointed today by Mayor
Hiram c. Gill, and Immediately put in
charge of the police force. Wappen-
stein was supposed TO be in Seattle for
several days awaiting Mayor Gilfs re-
turn from Alaska.
Charged With Ezxtortion.
Soon after the departure of Mayor
Gill on a pleasure cruise to Alaska TWO
weeks ago. Acting Mayor Wardall made
an investigation of vice in Seattle. In
sensational statement he cnarged the
chief of police with eXtorting money
from gambling houses and other re-
sorts He declared he had visited the

been in Suez but had seen no vice dis
trict so revolving as that of Seattle.
The city council appointed a COM
mittee to investigate and the public
welfare league hasten its campaign al
ready begun, for the recall of Mayor
Gill The league obtained a tempor-
airy injunction to prevent the opening
of disorderly houses in the southern
part of the city and to forbid the city
from leasing street to the owners of
the proposed dives.
Wappenstein left for Los Angeles soon
after Mayor Gill went out and dropped
out of sight when the storm broke.
Wappenstein was removed from the
position as chief of detectives of Gin
cinnati on June Il. 1885. He was re-
moved from position on the Seattle
detective force I'M 1901 after a investi-
eating committee@ had reported him

Stimson." Then Mr.. Murphy gently
closed his door and went to bed.
This is how the situation appeared
to stand. The leaders had been un-
able to agree on any one. Manifestly
it would be out of the question to pre-
sent the names of Is candidates to
the convention for a decision on the
floor. Therefore it remained Mr.. Muir
phys duty as the leader of the largest
number of delegates to name the can
didate. And this, Mr.. Murphy did
this morning before the convention as
sembled.
dates that issued from the conference
was the presence there of the names
OF Judge Parker and Mr.. Shepard 1t
was the first time Parker's name had
received serious mention, while a ma
jority of the delegates had seemed sat
isfied that Mr.. Shepard was absolutely
out of the running. These two names
were the only ones that received the
least shading of preference from those
who were questioned as they emerged
from the conference. Judge Parker
announced he would accept the nom
ination although he has not made any
active canvass. He would be accept
able to Tammany and to the Demo-
cratic league and Thomas NJ. Osborne
who seems to be the only man the
leaders can see for second position on
the ticket, would be willing to run
with him.
One opinion of the conferees was
that it was desirable to nominate 81
candidate who could take the field and
meet the active campaigning of Theo-
dore Roosevelt without loss of time

Why did 1 do it? oh, just for in

The police announced they wouI,I

ports that she had received threatening

Wahlenmeyer is not insane.
The police are proceeding on the
theory he thought to gain reward for
having saved" the house and its oc-
cupants from some mysterious bomb
thrower" and that his mutilation of his
clothes was to substantiate this claim.
WahIenmeyer demanded an audi
ence with Mrs. Palmer. but the watch
man. the first person encountered,
summoned the police. Wahlenmeyer
at first told a story of having seen an
other man placing the bomb at the side
of the house and of struggling with
him. Later the prisoner confessed to
having put the explosive there himself
and having cut his clothes to bear out
his first narrative.
Later Wahlenmeyers' mother and
sister were found at their home here.
They declared the young man suffers
from an aggravated form of hypochon-
dria, amounting to dementia at times.
This. the police stated after the inter-
view. probably accounts for Wahlen-
meyers action last night.
Wahlenmeyer is said to have been
connected with a garage at DeS

P. Bissell. as permanent chairman, ad-
dressed the convention in part as fol-
lows:
AT the present time we find through
out the country many Republicans who
call themselves 'prOgreSsiVes, and
when we analyze their progressiveness
we are gratihed to find that in most
cases it consists in the condemnation
of their own party's standpat' dishon-
est tariff revolution and their advance
ment to the advocacy of tariff reform,
so long and so consistently urged by
the Democratic party.
we are pleased. too, to find that this
progressiveness has led to the adop-
tion of recommendations made by the
last Democratic president for the reg
ulation and control of interstate pub
lie service corporations and of the rec
Ommendation so elOquentIy urged by
the last Democratic candidate for pres
ident. for the prevention of corrupt
practices and the interference of cor
porations in politics. by insisting on the
publication of campaign contributions,

Mr.. Bissell then went into what he
termed the 'wasteful and extrava CANT
use of public funds in state and ma
tion.
Charges Prohigacy.
Today" he said, I'VE find the pro-
fiigacy and recklessness of the Repub
lican administration calling for the ap-
0TOnTiatinn of t6P
fabulous sum of two billions of dollars.
A comparison of the last four years of
Democratic administration with the last
four years of Republican administra
ton illustrates with graphic and telling
force the strenuously spendthrift phase
of Rooseveltism and it's feeble proxy,
Taftism.
7 have dwelt upon this public ex-
travagance for the purpose of expos
ing the underlying cause of continued
high tariff taxation on the necessari ries
of life, and the betrayal of the people
by d revolution of the tariff upward
instead of downward, as promised by
the Republican platform and the Re
publican candidate.
rs it not easy to understand why
the cost of living is so high. why the
burdens of taxation are so heavy and
why the promises of a substantial rev.
olution of the tariff downward have
been broken?
1.-The Democratic party is now and
always has been loyal to the principles
advocated by the founders of the Re-
public. We are not in sympathy with
the doctrines of a so-called new ma
tionalism' which disregard loyal self
government and forget the limitations
of the constitution.
I'VE are opposed to this dangerous

Bank Guaranty Case in Supreme
Court.
States Attorneys Claim That
Tribunal Has No Authority.

Washington, Sept. sO.-The legal con
test over the constitutionality of the
Kansas law guaranteeing deposits in
state banks was further complicated
today when representatives of the state
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-09-30

went on record in the supreme court of
the United States as opposed to that
court issuing a writ directing the court
of appeals of the Eighth circuit to send
up for review its decision upholding
the conStitutiOnality of the Jaw.
The national banks of Kansas on
July 21 filed in the supreme court a
petition for the writ OF ceruorari, which
is now opposed.
In a brief today Attorney General
Jackson and his associates for the
state express d belief that adequate au-
thority exists for the national banks
to appeal from the decision of the
court of appeals but they claim thai
the supreme court has no authority to
issue the writ directing the case to be
sent up for review.
Asked today about the brief above
mentioned, Attorney General Jackson
stated that Judge Buckman OF Win
field, Alex Mitchell of Lawrence and
himself, attorneys for the state in this
famous case had prepared the brief
last week and filed it with the supreme
court. They held in the brief that the
decision of the courts of appeals de-
claring the guaranty law constitu-
tional and reversing Judge Pollock
was final. and that while the national
bankers had the right to appeal to the
supreme court, the law does not pro-
vide that the supreme court shall ask
for a review of this case. The supreme
court can refuse to review the case.
Technical questions alone are in
volved at this stage of the case. The
decision of the lower court setting
aside a temporary injunction should
be final, according to the arguments
of the states attorneys. Had the ap-
peal been based upon a final decision
by Judge Pollock then the case could
have been appealed without question
to the United States supreme court.
