DYCHE FINISHES ROUND.
Has Distributed Thirty Thousand Fish
in Kansas.

Prof l.. L. Dyche, state fish and game
warden has already distributed thirty
thousand fish in the streams and ponds
of Kansas and the work for the spring
has about been completed The car was
sent home this morning. A few fish will
be sent out from the hatchery in cans to
various nearby points but as many as
possible will be held at the hatchery for
stocking the new ponds to be built this
summer.
Two thousand fish were put into the
WakaruSa this week. Twenty farmers
living up and down the stream from Wa
karuSa met the car and took the fish out.
Each farmer agreed that there would be
no violations of the law on their farms
along the stream and that they would
protect the fish as much as possible.
Graphic and bass were put into the river
and many large ones that will spawn this
season were distributed. Most of the fish
sent out this year are little fellows, two
to four inches long but wherever posi-
BILE some large ones, bass and crappie six
to ten inches long and ready to spawn
this year, were distributed.
Il am planning that as soon as l get
the new ponds in shape to keep most of
the fish until they are one and two years
DID, said Prof. Dyche today. 'Two-year-
old fish will spawn at once and they will
add many thousand the same year they
are put into a stream or pond and the
numbers will increase each year, while if
I distribute young fish they have to stay
in the pond or stream one year and some
times two before they are large enough
to spawn and do any good

DOLLEY TO JORDAN.
Bank Commissioner Says County At
torney Is All Right.

Most of the trouble arising over the
failure of A. E. Jordan, county at
torney of Mitchell county, in not prose
cutting E. F. Burns. the defaultinS
cashier of the Home State bank at Tip
ton seems to lie entirely on Uncle Sam
and his mail service. The evening of
April Is j. N. Dolley, state bank COM
missioner, mailed a registered letter to
the county attorney containing the in
formation on which the complaint was
to be based for Burns prosecution.
This letter should have reached Beloit
not later than Monday morning but it
shows that at Manhattan it was receiv-
ed in bad order and there delayed.
Jordan did not receive the letter until
late Tuesday afternoon and he caused
the arrest of Burns the following day.
On account of the delay in the ar
rest of the cashier for forgery the
bank department became worried for
fear that Burns would escape. Mr..
Dolley announced that if action were
not taken at once that he would take
the matter up with the attorney general
and see what that official would do.
Mr.. Dolley has sent the following let
ter to Mr.. Jordan:
My Dear Sir: Much newspaper talk has
been made regarding the arrest of E. F.
Burns, the defaulting cashier at Upton.
1 did not give out interview at any
time that L would bring custer proceed
ings against you for not doing your duty,
nor did 1 give out an interview that you
did not do your duty against this cashier.
We notified you from this department at
the earliest practical moment after the
defaIcation was discovered. In cases of
this kind there are many things to be
considered from the departments point
of view: First of all, the protection of
the bank against a run and the interest
of the depositing public; the restoration
of the capital stock and the replaclDS of
the bank in a solvent condition and the
proper punishment of the defending Off
Ger.
You acted promptly from your office
and did your duty fully so far as l know.
I am Informed that the officers of the
bank at Upton gave out an interview.
stating that they would not prosecute
Burns and the newspapers at once took
this I'D and communicated with this de-
partment, asking if we were going to
allow Burns to go free without prosecu-
ton. I informed them that the depart
ment would do its duty in the matter and
that you had been supplied with the prop
er information.
1 regret very much that you have been
censured through the press, as I do not
consider that you deserved such censure,
and l wish to thank you for your prompt
cooperation with this department in this
case.
In my judgment there is no criticism to
be imposed upon any one or any parties
connected with this affair, except the de-
faulting cashier himself. The directors
of this bank are to be commended upon
the prompt and generous maner in which
they came to the rescue of the bank and
exhausted every effort to protect their
depositors, which they did fully.
Very truly yours.

ROSS IS ACQUITTED.
But Chesterfield Porter Convicted of
Selling Liquor.

The state won and lost in the Ches-
terrified hotel liquor cases today when
a jury in the first division of the dis
trict court returned verdict acquit-
ting Fred Ross, one of the owners, and
convicted Ed Wright, a negro porter,
on three counts.
Twelve counts had been charged
against the defendants in the original
complaint. Eight of these counts were
subStantiated by "Spotter' testimony.
But the defense in the case attacked the
spotter witnesses with such Vigor that
the state elected to stand on the four
remaining counts. The jury in the case
was out several hours Friday afternoon
and this morning spent a couple of
hours reviewing the testimony. Five
liquor cases have been tried in the
present term of court. In one case
the jury was unable to agree. Juries
in the remaining cases returned YER
diets against the defendants. Eighteen
persons charged with sales of liquor
have pleaded guilty at this term while
several cases were dismissed on the
motion of the county attorney.
Perhaps one of the most sensational
liquor cases of the term was dismissed
this week when the state dropped the
prosecution of Mary Chesney. In this
case spoilers went to the Chesney
home, which was furnished with Ieath-
er chairs and couches. While the
premises were being searched, one of
the spoilers is said to have ripped the
leather furniture with a knife in an
alleged search for liquor.
In some of the other cases tried at
this term the defendants attempted to
