BIDDLE IS READY.
Welcomes an Investigation of Topeka
State Hospital.

According to statement made by
DR.. T. c. Biddle. superintendent of the
Topeka State hospital, he will well
come the day when the board of con-
troll makes a searching Investigation
of the charges against his official
record and personal conduct at the
hospital. Biddle brands the com
plainants as "undesirables'' and de-
clares that their loss of a Job was
the foundation for charges filed with
the board.
The superintendent also states that
he will make few statements about
the complainants that will make classy
reading. He points to the fact that
these men made no charges until af-
ter their pay stopped; and that it was
the loss of a few good jobs and not
love for unfortunate inmates that
brought about the trouble. Biddle
does no go into the merits of the
case further than to state that the
old employees, whom he says know
the situation in detail, have made no
charges and are satisfied with the
conduct of affairs at the asylum.
Several witnesses have appeared
before the board of control and have
given sworn statements as to what
they know. 1t is claimed that in nu-
merous instances the witnesses showed
a desire to dodge the charges when
under oath. further hearing will be
held by the board sometime this
week. H. c. Bowman, chairman OF
the board of control, made trip to
the asylum last week and looked into
a number of the complaints. He has
subpoened several witnesses to appear
before the board, but no definite date
has been set for the hearing.

TWO BOMBS in CHICAGO
One Explodes and the Other Is Dis
covered in Time.

Chicago, March "a bomb was ex-
ploded early today in the hallway of a
building occupied by Italians. and an
other, placed in the doorway of a
grocery, was removed and extin-
guished by a policeman before it could
do harm.
In the latter instance. when the po-
liceman notified the grocer of the find
and the latter lighted the gas with a
match, an explosion which partly
wrecked the store showed the bomb
throwers also had saturated the floor
of the building with gasoline. No one
was hurt in the first explosion, though
the building was partly wrecked. Po-
liceman Thomas Parker stamped out
the burning fuse of the second bomb.
The grocer, Ignazio Damico, and the
policeman were burned in the fire fol-
lowing the gasoline explosion. Both
bombs followed demands for money on
the occupants of the building.

the senate bill 1t is ridiculous to as
sumo that the people generally are op-
posing a tax that only touches inner
itances of $4,000. It is the classes
and not the masses who want to do
away with the inheritance tax. The
former commissioners, in their letter,
say: ''The appropriations of the pres
ent legislature for the ensuing two
years will doubtless exceed $S,000,00O,
an enormous increase, and the legis-
lature which votes this increase cuts
off wipes out and destroys a source OF
revenue from which at least $780, 600
could be obtained during the same biz
ennium. is safe to say that the Leg
acies and succession tax which viii be
derived from collaterafS and strarg-
ers will not exceed $25s 900 per year.

GOOD WORD FOR ROBERT STONE
DR.. Hayes says He Exhibited High
Standard of Courage in House.

In the course of a sermon preached
at the First Congregational church
Sunday night, DR.. F. L. Hayes took
occasion to deplore incidents which
have occurred in the present session of
the legislature which have disturbed
the tranquility of affairs. He cited
several cases in which blows had been
dealt, one being that of a legislator
on the floor of the house who believed
his honor had been lmpugned. The
result was a fist fight between two
members.
Just last week." the speaker con-
tinued, there was a legislator who
felt incensed at another member OF
the body, and struck at him in retalia-
ton. This time, however, the mem
Der who was attacked did not strike
back, but instead sought with dignity
to retire, and when he found he could
not do SO he stood his ground. This
lie -islator stood for the higher stand
ard of courage. There is a courage OF
inaction as we'll as action.
at is regrettable that there is e
manifestation of the 'slum' standard
of manhood. It is rude and crude
and gives too much justification tC
those who live in other parts of the
country to say we are wild and woolS
out in Kansas.
There are two kinds of people il
this state. The kind that have higf
ideals and set the pace frequently
which the rest of the country follows
lied ideals. Both classes are repre-
scented in the legislature. If an in
| crease in pay would increase thu
number of those who have high stand
ards it is hoped that the next session

DRUMMER AND GLASS PROTEST
Urge Gov. Stubs to Veto New Inherit

S. C. drummer and w. S. Glass, re-
firing members of the state tax com
mission, have written Governor Stubs
urging him to veto the amendments to
the inheritance tax law. The house
bill provided for exemption for direct
heirs up to $4,000 while the senate
bill exempts direct heirs entirely. The
senate bill was adopted in conference.
The senate bill exempts estates now
pending settlement under the old law.
The former tax commissioners declare
that the legislature is appropriating
eight millions of dollars a large in

out revenues from a tax on wealth in
the sum of 100000 by the amend
rnents to the inheritance law. They

Elwood. Ind, March 6.-James Walk
er, who Saturday night shot and killed
Patrolman Virgil Kirkham and prob
ably fatally wounded Chief of Police
John Ellis, both of Alexandria, after
robbing q jewelry store and then es-
Gaping, was captured early today in a
barn on farm five miles south of this
city. He was hurried to Anderson,
where he was placed in Jail.
Last night Walker called at the home
of Mrs. Polly Remington and asked
permission to sleep in the barn. This
was given but later the woman became
uneasy and telephoned to some of her
friends. The police at Elwood, Alex
andria and Anderson were notified and
so men in automobiles hurried to the
place, surrounded the barn and de-
nanded Walkers surrender. He made
no resistance.
