HE IS STILL ON DECK.
Attorney Joseph Baldwin Practices at
"a Years of Age.

The spirit of brotherhood of the To-
peka Bar association was pleasantly
warmed this morning in the district
court room by Joseph Baldwin, Tope-
ka's oldest practicing attorney, when
he arose to thank the members of the
bar for recent kindness rendered him.
Joe" is nearly "a years of age, small
OF stature and somewhat bent. Almost
every Saturday at the hearing of mo-
tons, he is present in the court room
wearing his black skull cap and Is al
ways treated with Difference.
AS he arose. the old attorney SEEM
ed to be overcome with emotion but he
soon recovered to make a speech which
fellow attorneys have been talking of
ever since. Among his appropriations,
the speaker dropped some incidents of
his own career. He was born in New
York, August 2. 1926. His father was n
Presbyterian minister and afterwards
became president of Wabash college. In
that college, he was classmate of the
late DR.. F. S. McCabe, formerly a min
ister in Topeka. of the late General
Henry Corbin and of General Reynolds,
who was killed in the civil war. At the
time of the breaking out of the war
Joseph Baldwin was a member of the
Missouri senate. He served in the civil
war. A severe attack of smallpox so
broke him down as to virtually rudn his
career.
II appreciate this kindness of the
bar said the speaker. but 1 serve
you notice right now that am not go
ing to retire 1 have a theory that
the man who retires simply because he
is old. will soon be laid to repose under
the sod. Sufficient work to keep the
tody and mind occupied is a preserva-
tive Too much work. however, is IA
tai for an old man. For instance, look
at Henry Ward Beecher. Justice Brew

UNEARTH BIG PLANT.
Federal Detectives Locate Much Coun-
terfeiting Material ON Farm.

Yonkers, N. Y, April 9.-Secret SER
vice men who have been at work in
this section for some weeks past, have
unearthed a rich counterfeiters' plant
on a farm near Highlands, N. Y. The
stuff, which was found buried several
feet beneath the surface of an old veg
etable garden. includes several thou
sand sheets of paper. in which the silk
threads of the government paper are
cleverIy initiated. a dozen boxes of
blue and red inks. an old printing
press and enough cartridges to destroy
q small army. The plates used by the
counterfeiters have not yet been re-
covered and the search for them will
be continued.
The material is part of the outfit
used by the Lupo gang of Italian coin
ers WHO were recently convicted in
New / ork and sentenced to from 15
to SO years in prison. Rumors that
confederates of the counterfeiters were
about to resume operations with the
plates and material stored away by
Lupo and his men were responsible
for the activity of the secret service
agents.

mayor and commissioners after a long
conference behind closed doors that it
would be better to wait until Monday
morning before anything was done.
The "dope" on the matter is also
indefinite. Some say that Eugene B.
StottS has the best chance for appoint
Maurice Jenkins and Sergeant Ross of
the police department. But as far as
the members of the board of commits
sioners and the mayor is concerned,
there is nothing doing, Deputy Sher-
iff Ben Judkins entered the race for
the place today.
II can't say that we have anyone in
view" said one of the commissioners
this morning. I'm fact we just touched
upon the matter and decided that 1t
would be much better to allow the mat
ter to run over until our meeting Mon
day morning..
All the members of the board of
commissioners are silent on the matter
and claim that they have no favoriteS
and have no idea as to who will be the
next chief of police.
Commissioner Miller. and the city at
torney were instructed by the commits
mentary rules to govern the actions
of the commission. 1t was decided to
conduct the next meeting under these
rules if possible and the work will COM
mence at once.
1t was also decided to meet every
Monday morning in the city council
chamber which will hereafter be called
the Commission chamber"
A resolution was read providing for
the purchase of land lying within that
portion of Fillmore street extended be-
tween Twenty-frst street and Shunga-
nunga creek for the purpose of locat-
ing the Fillmore street bridge across
this creek. The land will be purchased
from 6 J. Joy. the price not to ex-
coed 5000.
The proposition to fix the salaries of
the mayor and commissioners was not
taken UP this morning. But it has
practically been decided among the
commission that the maximum salary
of $500 a year for commissioners and
81, 500 a year for mayor should be fixed.
This is a touchy matter for the COM
mission to take I'D but it is provided
for by law. In making the maximum
salary the talk of politics." "favorit-
ISM etc, will be eliminated.
There were several applications for
the position of plumbing inspector but
none of them were considered at this
time.
