Forty men and twelve teams draw
ing from 81 to 81 a day. paid by the
month, have been sitting around their
firesides the last two days. These men
in the employ of the city have not
turned wheel or a shovel full of
litter in the cutters and unpaved
streets have been untouched.
The new street commissioner, Fur
man Baker, will not order these men
to work. Commissioner Tandy, who is
at the head of the streets and public
improvements, will give no orders.
The ''Triumvirate"-May Billiard,
Commissioners Stotts and Miller
claim they have nothing to do about
it.
Meanwhile the street force is idle.
, The trouble seems to be over street
foremen. Commissioner Tandy took
it for granted that the ''Triumvirate"
would take the foreman appointments
away from him and he made no at
tempt to suggest any names Now the
powers that rule have asked Tandy
to confer with Baker and name the
three foremen.
Tandy refuses to have anything to
do with it.

said Commissioner Tandy this after
noon. 81 am going to wash my hands
of the whole thing. If the mayor,
Miller and Stotts think they are go
ing to run the street department will
leave it to them-but I don't want to
have anything to do with men 1 know
nothing about.
"I am bonded here to take care of
this work. Instead of getting men in
which I can have confidence l have to
stand for those L have nothing to do
with.
Now the mayor and his two COM
missionera want me to consult with
Baker in these appointments. l Will
have nothing to do with this. 1 want
to make my own appointments and
stand for the men"
The political significance of the
street foremen appointments as ex-
planned by Commissioner Tandy fol-
lows:
This business is getting hot on the
hands of the three commissioners
explained Mr.. Tandy. 1.-THE mayor
doesn't want Miller because Miller
worked against him in the campaign.
The other commissioners don't want
Smith because he was partly to blame
for the Twenty-first street bridge
damage And Evans has resigned.
Now in order to shift the responsible
| ity of the appointm they want me
to take the blame.
II am sick and tired of the way
they have taken hold of things. 1t
| is time that it stops"
Commissioner Tandy has given an
order to Street Commissioner Baker to
begin work on the streets tomorrow.
you'll have to put these men to
work-foremen or no foremen," said
Tandy.

HYDE IS ARRAIGNED.
New York City Chamberlain Pleads
Not Guilty to Bribery Charge.

New York, May 2.-Charles Hiram
Hyde, the city chamberlain, appeared
in court this afternoon and pleaded not
guilty to an indictment charging brib-
cry. The offense charged is punishable
by Imprisonment for not more than
ten years, or a fine of not more than
IS, 900, or both. Bail in $500 was given.
Samuel Untermyer, the chamberlain
counsel, asked for an early trial, which
District Attorney Whitman promised.
Before his appointment Chamberlain
Hyde was the law partner of Mayor
Gaynor and has long been his personal
friend and political advisor.
During Hyde's absence in the south
the Carnegie Trust company, in which
the city was a heavy depositor, went
down and a storm of criticism rose
against him. 1t did not shake the
mayors loyalty and Mr.. Gaynor came
to his defense with a public statement.
Investigation of the Carnegie Trust
company brought out batch of in
dictments against those controlling its
affairs, who also are said. to have
boosted of their friendship with Hyde.
Various city repositories were shown to
have made loans to the Carnegie direct
ly before or after they received city de-
posits, and the prosecution will attempt
to show that the promise of these de-
loans to the crippled Carnegie then tot
tering.
About the time these loans began to
come in, the chamberlain's secretary,
John V. Smith. got $4,000 from the
Carnegie in the form of cashiers
checks, which he deposited to his pri-
waite account Shortly after he drew
against this account $13,S00 in four
checks, two of them payable to cash
and two to the city chamberlain. The
district attorney will try to prove that
this transaction covered a payment for
services rendered.
Chamberlain Hyde, through his sec
rotary, today issued the following
statement: For more than two months
the campaign has been carried on
against me by the district attorney and
other officials with the active support
of two newspapers with large circula-
ton in this city. No official act of mine
has been influenced by any improper
motive. 1t has taken tow months to in
diet me, before a body that does not
hear any defense or even explain
have no doubt of my complete exonera-
ton

MATTINGLY is OUT
City License Collector Appoint
ment Declared Illegal.
Bad Mistake Made by Civil Ser
vice Commission. -
WALKER MAY GET IT.
Took Second Highest Grade and
Was Legally Qualified.
WALKER MAY GET IT.
New MiX-Up in Appointment
Matters at City Hall.

The appointment of G. T. Mattingly
as city license collector has been de-
clared illegal by City Attorney Ralston
in a report he will make to the city
commissioners this afternoon.
1t is illegal because the civil service
commission disobeyed the law in re-
gard to the preparation of a list of
those who passed examinations. 1t is
declared by Mr.. Ralston that Kutz
failed to send to the commissioners a
certified list of names of those who
passed the civil service examination.
AS a result it is possible that B.
G. Walker will be appointed license
collector in place of Mattingly.
office of license collector, submitted a
protest to the city commissioners that
caused no little worry among the mem
bers of the board.
1t seems that Walker took the civil
service examination to qualify him
Mattingly. In the grades, as result
of the examination, Walker took sec
ond highest. Mattingly was near the
bottom. A man named Overmyer took
the highest grade.
Overmyer did not apply for the place.
Walker applied. Mattingly applied,
also. Mattingly was appointed.
Now the commission law says that
the commissioners shall appoint one of
the two candidates receiving the high
est grade Instead the commissioners
appointed man who was near the bot
tom of the list.
The protest of Walker was filed with
the city attorney. The result is in
teresting to students of the commission
form of government law under which
the city of Topeka is operating.
In an interview this afternoon Mr..
Walker said he would fight the mat
ter to the end.
'.It is a frameup among the commits
sioners," he said. Il went to Commits
sioner Bone after 1 received my grade
but he turned me aside. He said Mat
tingly would be reappointed and that's
all there was to it.
IF We are going TO live under the
commission form of government we
should do away with politics. This law
reads plainly that the two highest
graded men shall receive the consid-
Grafton of the commissioners
City Attorney Ralston said: ''T'he
civil service commission got things all
mixed up. The appointment is il
legal
The protest follows:
First. That the appointment was
made as political pledge and prom
Use and that myself and other persons
for said position was never considered
after taking civil service examination
for said position as to the laws per-
tanning to civil service commission and
| a commission form of government.
Second. That the civil service COM
mission failed to certify to the city
commission double the number of per-
sons necessary to fill said position who.
according to it's records; have the
highest standing for the position they
seek to fill as the result of such ex-
aminations.
Third. That the said 6. T. Mating

applicants taking the civil service ex-
animation for said position, as the law
plainly says double the number OF
