had Mr. F'inson lived and had the
family received the monthly check on
time, sent receipted bill to the poor
woman at once after the accident.
This is but an example of the kind
nesses which have been bestowed upon
Mrs F'inson and her large family OF
small children.
The city of Topeka was naturally
liable indirectly for the death of her
husband. This man was killed Whlie
working under the orders of the city
officials and the widow was placed IN
this condition on account of the oeath
of her husband. Thus 1t refers the mat
ter back to the taxpayers of this CITY,
who paid the officials and who en-
ployed C. E. Finson in the position
which caused his death.
sit is natural, then, that the tax
payers and the citizens of this city
should help Mrs. Finson," said H. 3.
Howard this morning. Since the edl-
torial in the State Journal the first
of the week I have thought OF q oene-
fit fund and I have talked to a large
number of people about the PROPOSE
ton and everyone seems to be in favor
of it," sg
Committees arc Named.
Mr., Howard brought the matter of a
public subscription up to the young
peoples societies of the different
churches yesterday and the response
was enthusiastic A big committee en-
bracing all the sections. districts and
churches in the city was appointed and
they commenced early this morning in
the campaign for the help of Mrs. FIN
son.
This committee is composed of H y.
Howard chairman; Leslie earle OF the
Third Pres byterian church Will handle
the east side of the city; Frank Cope
of the First Methodist Episcopal church
will conduct the campaign in the west
side. James Wolcott of the Central
Lo 10 he
Mr.. Howard of the First Congrega-
tional church and chairman of the COM
mittee as a whole, will conduct the cen
trail part of the city and will head the
general movement.
s. E. Cobb. cashier of the Prudential
Trust company bank at the corner OF
Seventh and Kansas avenue, has con-
scented to act as treasurer of the newly
formed organization and all subscrip-
tions will be received and noted at this
place.
| It is the plan of the committee at this
time to make the campaign a dollar
Benefit" affair. All of the members OF
| the young peoples societies and church
organizations over the city viii start
out the fund by subscribing one dollar
each. Not only will the churcnes give
funds but clothes food and other
necessities will be gathered and given
to Mrs. Finson.
The campaign, although started by
the churches, is not confined here alone
| and is open for the general public. 1t is
hoped that the response to the call viii
| be prompt and generous.
The city of Topeka gave the Finsor
family all the wages which would have
been earned by Mr.. Finson had he beer
well during his sickness. When he died
| the city paid the funeral expenses
which amounted to 800. But recently
Mrs Finson filed a suit asking the city
| for damages amounting to $4,000 Il 10
at once the officials withdrew theil
/ financial support.
Mrs F'inson is without any means Of
procuring food. clothing and fuel and
! to help her in her trouble the fund has

BALLINGER AK FALLS.
-Four Officials in the Indian Service
Are Suspended.

Washington. Jan. 10.-Secretary
Ballinger of the interior department
has suspended from Office Superin-
tendent John D. Benedict of the five
civilized tribes of Oklahoma and three
supervisors as the result of an inves-
tigation that has disclosed "a disgrace
full condition affecting the material
and moral welfare of the schools"
AS result of the investigation the
interior department has been carry
ing on for some time and which will
be continued. other officials of the In
dian service may suffer a like fate to
that of superintendent Benedict and
the three supervisors.
The investigation that resulted in
this action was entered into because
of reports charging the officials al
ready suspended, as well as others,
with activities improper for govern
ment employees. The suspended super
visors are Calvin Ballard of the Choc-
taw schools at McAlester. Frederick
H. Umboltz of the Chickasha schools
at Ardmore and Walter Fa1lwen OF
lthe Greek schools at MuSkOgee-
| Before any further action is taken
in their cases. the four men will be
allowed to make answer to the secre-
tary of the interior as to the charges
against them. From the report made
| in the case, it appears that Superin-
tendent Benedict is connected with
certain business Interests in Oklahoma

| the Indians. This relationship, 1t was
| believed, was wholly incompatible
with his service as superintendent. He
| had permitted the schools, it was re-
ported, to fall into disgraceful con-
dition, and the supervisors have neg
| lected their duties in the enforcement
! of school contracts and in matters af-
! fecting the material and moral con-
! ditions surrounding the conduct of the
schools.
| Oscar H. Lips, supervisor of Indian
schools, who has been sent to Okla
homa, notified the department of his
arrival and that he has relieved Super
| intendent Benedict pending the result
of the investigation. The duties of the
suspended supervisors will be per-
| formed temporarily by detailed clerks
| of the Indian office. Superintendent
Benedict has been connected with the
Indian service for ten years.
Secretary BaIlinger and Commits
sioner Valentine of the Indian office

conditions surrounding the schools
although not public will be thorough
Politics, Says Benedict.
Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 10
John D. Benedict and other accused
Indian officials made full denial OF
the charges of Secretary Ballinge1
when Interviewed With their denials
they limited that politics might be held
responsible for the accusations and
that Supervisor Oscar H. Lipps' meth
DDS were nothing less than "sneaky.'

After two months of a big political
field occupied by one man who planned
on the race for mayor, the Topeka
municipal commission race was given
spirit and energy today when it was an

city council and now president of the

year from April but whose term will
lapse next April on account of the COM
mission election, has been the only
avowed candidate until the plans were
known that leaked out today. Mayor
Green has received no opposition what
ever, although the rumors of Council
man ]. w. F. Hughes and Councilman
Howard have practically placed these
two men in the race.
pete Miller is the big man from the
Second ward who has been connected
with the city council for the last few
years and who has always been con-
nected with the popular movements in
favor of the common people and against
the corporations. Mr.. Miller is alder
man from the Second ward that
troublesome quarter of the city where
politicians have found ever opposition

brought out on the track for a CITY and
