SCOTT WARNS SENATE
Opposition to Subway Pill VIII Haunt
the Members. He Says.

Washington, Feb. 15.-When the
Sulloway service pension bill passed
from the house to the senate it did
not fall into a bed of roses. That was
made evident when an effort was
made to obtain consideration for it,
Senator Scott called uD the bill and
although Senator Lodge objected,
moved for it's consideration In addi-
ton to the opposition there was ap-
prehension that the adoption of the
Scott motion would displace the reso-
luton providing for the popular cleo
ton of senators. Mr.. Borah made this
point and other senators became very
busy with numerous minor sugges-
lions.
Ultimately it was decided that the
election measure would be displaced.
During the debate Senator Scott said:
There are many of these old SOL
diers dying and at least one is dying
right now while we are standing here.
1t is asserted the bill would cost $780,
100000 a year, but it would not cost
$50, 000, 900.
1T has been whispered about the
senate chamber that it is the intention
of the president to veto the bill if it is
sent to him; if anyone has authority
for that statement 1 wish him to say
so. I tell you this bill will haunt the
senators who oppose it here"

STILL A MYSTERY
Ottawan Returns After Absence
Of Seven Years.
Had Been Within so Miles of
Home All the Time.

Ottawa. Kan, Feb. bout of seven
years of silence. W. H Lee, former
well known Ottawan, reappeared IN
Ottawa last night, and refused to tell
anything to solve the mystery of his
disappearance.
Mr.. Lee drove out away from his
home at the corner of Ninth and Hick-
Dry streets, June IA, 1904, without CIV
ing am sign that he would not return
Three days later a letter, written IL
said from nowhere was received by
his son, William Lee, and since that
time not a word has been heard from
the wanderer.
He walked into the Office of his son,
but the young man was not there and
ne one else recognized him. He made
some inquiries as to the sons where
abouts and went to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. w. II. Lee on Mulberry
street, where he made his identity
known to Mrs. Lee. His son, coming
in a few minutes later, passed on
through the room without recognizing
his father. Then there was the reve-
1ation of identity, and the bridge of
silence was crossed.
Where the elder Lee has been is no
less mystery now than it has been
an account of himself except in
meager details.
Within SO Miles of Ottawa.
He declares that nearly all the time
in the seven years he has been within
fifty miles of Ottawa, but has never
known anything of his family.

According to. Mr.. Lees story, re-
luctantlys told. he drove from Ottawa
on that June morning in 1904 direct
" east from Ottawa and then turned
south towards Fort Scott. He kept
right on through Fort Scott to south
Missouri. winding up at Springfield
but stayed there for only a short time.
Then he came back into Kansas and
has been living quietly there ever
since. He does not say plainly what
he has been doing. but indicates that
he has been engaged in some light
farming.
Chance Meeting Turned Thoughts
According to Mr.. Lee. it was q
chance meeting with J. w. Becker in
Lawrence a short time ago that turned
his thoughts toward home. He saw
Mr.. Becker and a helper in a hotel
overheard Mr.. Becker telephoning to
Ottawa. and then began conversation
with him. During the course Of the
conversation he made inquiries about
his family He went back to his home
and after thinking the matter over

fair. 1 asked Mr.. Leahy if we could
not substitute some other mans name
as author of the bill, in order to es-
cape McCormick's opposition. I asked
Mr.. Leahy il we couldn't use the name
of Representative Case and asked Leahy
to see him. Leahy said he did not know
the man. He then said, Why don't you
use the name OF Casey. and if anything
Is said, why you can say it was typo

cussed the matter at considerable
length. Then 1 left the Office, telling

such intent. He said M F. Amrine
was in the Office when the conference
was held. but did not know whether
he heard the conversation. Amrine
was then subpoenaed, but was out of
town and could not be used at the
Tuesday hearing. Then Porter took
a hand and Moore testified that the
new water plant was needed. as the
old concern was in bad shape. He
said Mccormick had built the plant
and formerly owned it. He said the
opposition to the Porter bill in the
house committee had come from Nc
Cormick and Orr, the latter declaring
that he was opposed to municipal
ownership on general principles.

After the Moore testimony, a recess
was taken until 1870. and the crowd
compared notes on the standing of the
several witnesses.
Alers Was Told.
Earl Akers, chief clerk of the house,
was called shortly before 8 o'clock.

him. He forced the author of the
charges from pillar to post and each
attempt seemed to throw a little light
on the subject.
Robertson took hand and asked if
Leahy was not aware that he was a
party to the act by concealing crime.
He asked why the names had not been
given in the newspaper story Leahy
said it was not ethical. He confessed
that the Moore deal was the only
theory on which he was able to base
q charge against the legislature. Ask
ed why that charge was hurled at the
senate, when the crime, if any, was
committed in the house, Leahy declar-
ed he had not placed the blame on
either body. Then the secretary de-
sired to go into detail and declared
that the stand pats had been un-
faithful. He said the Democrats had
acted in good faith, but that the insur-
gents were the chosen people.
When asked by Potter if Leahy
thought he had painted a good pen
picture, he replied that he might have
easily amplified. Four hours later
when Robertson gave the secretary a
chance to amplify, he declined the
privilege and preferred to submit to
direct questions. A dozen members
took chances with the governors chief
employee. He was grilled from every
source and was many times compelled
to take refuge behind the charges that
the senate had violated the party
pledges and was too light for the
heavy work placed before it.
Makepeace a Disappointment.
After two hours at the tender mercy
of the grizzled lawyers, Leahy was ex-
cused and Charles Makepeace was
sworn.
Young Makepeace upset few
theories when he said that he was ap-
preached with bride two years ago
in regard to manipulating the house
records. He told Leahy of the incl
dent a few days ago, he said, but was
not sure whether he made clear to
the lanky newspaper man the date of
the approach. Makepeace felt he

NEW STYLE CHRISTMAS.

A great deal of the old time spirit
that used to hover around the Christ
mas season has passed away with
eime. The latest blow Is that the
Central Passenger association has de-
cided that the railroads will have no
cut rate holiday fares this year. This
is narrowing.
1t is bad enough to live away from
the farm or the small town all year
around but when one is denied the
pleasure of eating turkey or roast
young pig with the old folks at home
because the railway magnates are

can be happy at Yule-tide no matter

BEATTIE HUNG.

Riches couldn't save Henry Beattie
from the electric chair 1t is great
compliment TO Virginia. The trial of
the young monster was not marked by
the fiddling, time-killing tactics as is
customary about here. There is no
reason why speedy punishment should
not be brought to murderers every
where At least Beattie has been
punished even if other rich criminals
have been convicted in the trial courts
and gone free finally through the
technicalities and delays incident to
reversals by appellate courts and the
resulting new trials. In fact, herein
is where the wealth and influence of
such offenders have been brought to
bear most strongly. Their money has
been able, through the employment of
shrewd lawyers, to secure postpone
ments and to bring forward technical
errors for appellate courts to hang
reversals upon. And too frequently in
American jurisdictions has justice
thus come the way of notification.

THE "TIGHT WAD"

Almost to a unit the people who

and orders drinks for whoever hap

The town sport who let's loose of
a three-dollar bill every time he feels
like buggy ride taunts with close
fistedness the young man who has no
money for pool or cigars.
There seems to be a general in
clination on the part of men and
women who spend money ex-
travagantly on themselves to class as
stingy those who save their money
and sepnd it on somebody else or to
provide against misfortune to their
loved ones.
We will come to a higher and
nobler understanding of the great
question of generosity when we fast
en- in our minds. with rivets spread
at both ends, the following defni-

A stingy man is one who spends
money on himself or not at all.
A generous man Is one who spends

The matter of economy has nothing
to do with either.
