UNJUSTLY CRITICISED.
Effort Madeto Place Judge Dana I'm
False Light.

Judge A. w. Dana is not pleased with
the interviews given by members of the
Doaro OF county commissioners in which
they state that prisoners were released
from the county jail on his recommended
tlon. In fact Judge Dana denies every
allegation in the interviews printed in a
morning paper and refers to the Jail and
court records to prove just what he has
done
Since Judge Dana has been on the
bench he has repeatedly refused to recon-
mend a suspension of jail sentences for
vlolators Of the prohibitory and other
laws In the last year, he paroled but one
that on the recommendation of officials
of the State Temperance Union. For
these reasons Judge Dana resents the
made today, Judge Dana said:
The interview by certain members of
the board of county commissioners pub
headline Officers Recommended Liberty
to JointSts, gives false impression. 1t
conveys the meaning that the district
court has recommended to the commits
sloners that certain violators of the pro-
hfbttory liquor law be released from Jail
before the fine and costs were paid.
do not recall single instance where I
nave made such recommendations. I have
been often requested to make such recon-
mendation but have always refused so to
do.
,"An examination of the Jail docket
shows just one person convicted of selling
liquor who has been released upon my
recommendation within the last year.
That was in the case of the State against
Zeb kitrel, who was convicted of sell
ing liquor on a Rock Island train. He
was paroled by the court on the 18th of
last November upon payment of fine and
costs before his jail sentence has been
fully served. Application for parole in
this case was strongly recommended on
the ground of the dangerous condition of
his mothers health in Chicago. Further
more this parole was recommended in
writing by Clerin Zumwalt and by Frank
M. Stahl, superintendent of the Kansas
State Temperance Union.
ST have granted comparatively few pa
roles to other classes of offenders. Those
paroles are made upon formal application
and when granted are recorded in the
office of the clerk of the district court
and are open to inspection by the public.
Il do not want to make any reflection
upon the county commissioners and am of
the opinion that they were either mis-
quoted the interview referred to does
not convey the impression that was in
tended"

board was guilty of petty politics in
it's action and in support OF that chal-
lenge l wish to say that all or my
associates on this board are men OF
the highest standing in the profession
al and business life of Kansas. They
are substantial, honorable and patr1ot1c
and were moved in their conduct, as
members of the board, in this matter
by but single purpose and that was to
do their conscientious duty by the
state They have been annoyed, har-
assed and handicapped in their efforts
to properly conduct and develop the
state normal schools by the continual
wrangling and turmoil occaSioned by
the charges and counter charges of
one school faction against another.
Principal Russ has been one of the
chief offenders in this regard and in
consequence whereof his efficiency as
an executive has been impaired and the
example he has set before both faculty
and students has been bad. If allowed
to continue, such a course would lead
to a serious decentralization Of higher
educational ideals and a breaking down
of discipline where most needed and the
utter destruction of the authority of
the board.
eff it is the intention and design
of Principal Russ and his friends to
foment among the people of Pittsburg
and the student body of the school
feeling of bitterness and strife because
of the action of the board, that is
their privilege. 1t would seem to me,
however, that the wise and decent
thing for them to do is to accept the
action of the board as final and so
far as his friends are concerned, to
set themselves to the constructive task
of readjustment and reorganization
and assist, rather than obstruct, the
board in it's determined effort to make
the Pittsburg school as good a school
as there is in the state of Kansas. 1
am loathe to believe that upon sober
second thought the level-headed, pa

1.-The board feels very kindly toward
the citizens of Pittsburg for the many
expressions of confidence and loyalty
spoken by them upon the occasion of
their appearance before the board at
its last sitting in that place Every
member of the board left Pittsburg
with the impression that none of the
people of that city thought there was
any man in the faculty of the Pitts
burg school bigger than the institu-

HOLDS OUT $4,000.
Woman Who Robbed Mrs. Armour
May Be Arrested Yet.

Kansas City, April eft is quite
probable that the young woman who
took the negotiable bonds worth $780,
600 from Mrs. S. B. Armour the
widow of the packer, will be arrest
ed. 1t all depends upon whether or
not she will restore $4,000, which she
is said to have in her possession still
and which she thus far has refused to
give up.
Directly after the disclosure of the
disappearance of the bonds, it was
learned that the young woman had
confessed to having taken these Sc
curities
The young woman, threatened with
arrest unless she restored the missing
fifty thousand, refused and forthwith
engaged the services of a lawyer to
protect "her interests" Mrs. Armour's
lawyer has been in consultation with
the womans attorney, but thus far, it
is understood, no progress has been
made toward the restoration of the
money

CORRAL CALLED DOWN.
Mexican Government Gables Him for
an Explanation.

Washington, April 29-The Mexican
government has cabled to Vice Presi-
dent Corral, who is travelling in Spain,
to ascertain whether or not he was cor
rectly quoted as criticising Americans
in connection with the Mexican revolu-
ton. The state department was ad-
vised to this effect today by Ambassa-
dor Wilson.
The department also is advised that
the federal forces at Mazatlan have re-
fused to surrender that city in response
to the demand from the insurrectos and
in consequence an attack is expected
at any moment.

Abram Gonzales, provisional gov
ernor of the state of Chihuahua, ar
rived last night. He expressed himself
as none too confident of the success Of
negotiations, but will assist neverthe-
less in the attempt to bring about
peace.
General Madero, speaking of the rev.
olution in the state of Puebla, declar-
SQ IndL ne naQ D00n assured L0dL any
peace terms accepted by him would be
ratified by revolutionary leaders of
Puebla.
OF the alleged interview with Corral,
he had this to say:
IT am not sure that Corral made the
statement credited to him, by Diaro
but I do know that when the revolu-
ton was in it's formative stage it was
part of the Diaz-Corral strategy to
spread the impression that the United
States would intervene in behalf of the
Mexican government. This was to
make US appear unpatriotic. However,
the revolution got under way and is
winning yet there probably will be no
intervention. The government is try
ing to make it appear that the revolt
does not owe its spread to the unpop-
ularity of the administration but to for
eign elements which they allege have
come to the aid of the uprising

says that only a very small part of its
grain business originating in Kansas is
consigned to Kansas City. Most of it
goes to other points, much to the gulf
ports and If all its cars were stopped in
Kansas City to have the grain inspected
it would cause congestion in the yards
and be great detriment to the company
and the shippers also. The company has
no grain elevators of its own, as have
most of the other railroads.

A spIENnIn uTTERANCE.

From the New York Sun: We
print with sincere admiration sena-
tor Borah's remarks in the senate
yesterday on the stability OF the
bench. We believe that this speech
will take high and permanent rank
among the great efforts Of philoso-
phlcal craftsmanship, not only for
the dignity Of Its thought and express
sion, but also for the quality Of the
shown by the conspicuous
leader Of the so-ealled Progressives
who dares thus to expose and rebuke
the dangerous error Of purpose so
prevalent among his associates.
It is only a week since another
senator OF the United States, Ike
wise chased as Progressive in the
new alignment Of political ideas, was
pleading for the application Of the
principle Of the recall to the justieei
Of our supreme court, declaring that
he would not hesitate to vote fol

with him in opinion, for instance
as regards the income tar.
