Poi. Dyche Gets No Pay as University
Professor.

Chancellor Strong of the state uni
versity is still trying to collect two
salaries for Prof L. L. Dyche. state
fish and game warden. but he will not
have any luck in his efforts. State
Auditor Davis today declared en-
phatically that he would not stand for
this violation of the statutes. which
positively forbid that any person shall
draw two salaries from the state
Chancellor Strong has written the
auditor to tell him that the board of
regents of the university nave author
lied him to collect $4,000 for Prof.
Dyche as fish and game warden and
1000 for Prof. Dyche as curator of
biological collections at the university
The auditor wrote the chancellor to-
day refusing to honor vouchers for
more than one job. The matter had
been threshed out before between the
chancellor and the auditor. but the
former thought he would try. try
again. He will have to get a supreme
court decision upsetting the accepted
ruling that no person can draw two
salaries from the state before he will
secure the auditors o. K to the Dyche
warrants as fish and game warden and
university curator.

WHO OWNS STANLEY FURNITURE?
That Is the Question Judge Whitcomb
Is Called on to Decide.

Days when G. V. Stamey's property
burned with such astounding regular
ity that it was necessary to send
Stamey to prison. were recalled today
in the trial of the case of H. W. Page
against ]. D. Norton. The suit in
wolves the possession of Stamey's val
liable furniture.
It was when Stamey tried to collect
too many insurance policies for burn
ed property, that he was arrested and
his household goods constitute the ba-
sis for litigation between his lawyer
and the present sheriff. Stamey owned
some valuable furniture, an expensive
piano an dthe best household equip
ment that money could buy One day
the house burned. The burning fol-
lowed a series of Stamey fires. But it
was this fire that sent the Topeka man
to the penitentiary
At the trial it developed that before
the fire, Stamey had transferred his
valuable goods to a storage house and
substituted inferior furniture After
the blaze he attempted to collect the
insurance on the high grade goods
Before the trial he assigned the fur
niture to H. W. Page, his attorney.
The jury convicted Stamey. Then it
was that the state replevined the
property to which Page held bill Of
sale.
Judge whitcomb spent the greater
part of the morning in an effort to de-
eide the rightful ownership of the
furniture. No decision has yet been
rendered

Frank Ssarles Returning Home
Suddenly Surprised.
Tells Court Frank COnnelIey
Had Taken His Place.
HAD THEM ARRESTED.
Today They Are Being Tried in
City Court.
Neighbors Tell of Strange
Things at Searles Home.

Fifty persons sat in the court of
Topeka today anxious to tell what they
knew of the all too intimate relations
of Mrs. Dora Searles and Frank Con-
nelley- Then Frank Searles himself
told a jury how he returned from Ne
braska to find his wife had brought
suit for a divorce and transferred her
affections to Connelley.
Searles told a pitable story. Last
fall he said, he went to Nebraska
with his sick mother. Connelley had
been boarding at his house, but he
still believed that Dora loved him
with all the old time fire and enthu-
siasm. He had been gone but a few
weeks, he said, when he received no
tice that Dora had brought suit in
the district court, in which she asked
for a divorce. Searles returned to To-
peka two weeks ago. That night he
went to the place at 1921 East Fifth
street, which had always been his
home. But instead ConneIley had
been substituted for the absent hus-
band.
Determined that his rights should
be recognized, he found Patrolman
John Jackson and the two men raided
the house. Connelley and the Searles
woman were taken to the police sta
ton. Later they were arrested on a
state warrant charging improper con-
duct.
It was this condition that consti-
tuted the biggest heart interest scan
dal the east side has produced in
months Apparently all the neighbors
in a radius of several blocks knew
something that would shed light on
the situation. They were willing wit
nesses, too. In Searles absence, these
people testified, the actions of Con-
nelley and the woman had been I'M
becoming that of ladies and gentle
men of the recognized standard. But
Mrs. Searles and Connelley produced
some witnesses who said the conduct
was beyond reproach. So a jury of
II men was chosen to guess on the
merits of the trouble.
None of the witnesses in the case
desired to leave the court after giving
their testimony. Everyone stayed ul-
til the last word was said. Apparently
half holiday had been declared "
the residents of the neighborhood TO
attend the hearing. At noon the east
court house and compared notes on the
testimony. For many of the people
who attended the trial. Il was their first
appearance in a court OF justice ana
they followed the trial in a manner
that showed they intended to miss none
of it.
On the witness stand this morning,
Frank Searles, the complainant; Patrol
man Jackson. H NJ. Howard, J. II.
Hobbs A. Coffman. J. B. Adams, Grover
Phillips ana Mrs. May Osborn told OF
the celebrations at the Fifth street
home. Many others have been sub
poened but it is hardly probable that
all Of them will go to the stand.
At the afternoon session, the defense
is being given an inning. Connelley
himself told of his stay at the Searles
home. He said he sometimes gave Mrs.
Searles medicine but denied that his
actions had ever been other than those
of a perfect gentleman.

fact. cures for all the ills known at
the present day.
The labels of many of these So
called cures indicated their use FOR
diseases of children. They were not
only utterly useless in the treatment
of disease but in many cases were posi-
lively injurious. If any Of these state
ments had been true no one with &C
cess to the remedies which bore them
need have died from any cause other
than accident or old age.
Unfortunately, the statements we're
not true.
Prior to the recent decision of the
supreme court the officers charged
with the enforcement OF the law re-
garded false and misleading state
ments concerning the curative value of
nostrums as misleading and there was
a general acquiesence in this view by
the proprietors of the nostrums. Many
pretended cures, in consequence, were
Withdrawn from the market and the
proprietOrs of many Other alleged
cures eliminated false anG extravaganza
claims from their labels, either vol
unfairly or under the compulsion Of
criminal prosecution. Nearly 100
criminal prosecutions on this charge
were concluded in the federal courts
by pleas of guilty and the imposition
of fines. More than $50 cases of the
same nature, involving some of the
rankest frauds by which the Ameri-
can people were ever deceived are
pending now and must be dismissed.
It fear If no remedial legislation be
granted at this session that the good
which has already been accomplished
will be undone and the PEOPLE of the
country will be deprived OF r. powerful

stephen s. Wise, Of the Free Synagogue,

the necessary money.
The committee says that recent Board Of

than it has been for some time. orders
have recently been issued TO divide the sup
