KANSAS TOPICS
Motor Bandits Are Caught.

lola, Kan-Concluding a chase OF
nearly twenty-four hours, during
which there was a running battle COW
ering nearly two miles, with posse
and fugitives exchanging shots, men
giving the names of Jimmy Wilson
and Bert Young, the remaining two of
the trio alleged to have raided South
east Kansas towns the other night,
were captured near Gatesburg by a
posse of citizens led by Deputy Sheriff
Tom Andrews of Thayer In their ef-
fort to escape the fugitives comman-
deered a horse and buggy and war
rants charging them with horse steal
ing were filed in Neosho county,
Chief of Police Coffield and Sheriff
Hoover Kerr went to Thayer to re-
turn the prisoners to Allen county,
the Thayer officers declined to sur
render the men, though offenses
charged here are much more serious
and carry heavier penalty. Richard
Victor, one of the prisoners, was cap
tured near Thayer and was surren-
dered to Sheriff Kerr, who brought
him to lola. Victor says he met his
pals in saloon on May street in Kan
sa5 City. There they planned to come
to lola. Victor denies that he took
part in the robbery Of the Shanonn
store here, but several Of the stolen
revolvers were found on him when
he was captured Sheriff Kerr says
that although the men under arrest
at Thayer say their names are Wilson
and Young, the names are aliases.
The officer says he has every reason
to believe and much evidence to prove
that the men are w. j. and Bert Van
Bibber, both of Kansas City, Mo. Mrs.
Bessie Van Bibber told the officers
here that the leader of the gang was
w. j. Van Biber She said she is a
relative and that the leader of the
trio called on her the night of the rob-
berry.

How Contest May Proceed.

Topeka. Kan.-Shoud there be a
contest in the Capper-Hodges battle
for governor which now seems prob
able, and a recount of votes demand
ed, proceedings can be commenced in
one of two ways, according to attor'
neys who were asked to outline the
law on the subject. One action would
be the bringing of quo warranto
proceedings by the defeated candidate
against the other after he takes pos
session of the office. The other pro-
ceeding would be the filling of con-
test in the state senate by the defeat
ed candidate after his rival is in Of
flee. In either case the proceeding
will not lie until one of the candidates
is in possession of the office. The
quo warranto proceeding can be
brought in either the supreme court
or district court. If a contest is
brought in the senate notice OF the
recount asked for must be filed with
the secretary of the senate between
the sixth and tenth days after the
senate convenes. The senate may
make it's own rules. 1t is probable
that if the senate is asked to make
the recount that specific claims and
information would have to be filed by
the contesting party as to just what
precincts he expects that the recount
would show gain for him. The law
provides that if a contest is contem-
plated, that the candidate bringing
the contest must file notice to that
sffect upon his rival within thirty
lays after the vote has been canvass
ed by the state canvassing board.

Oil Man, Kansas Jury Decides

independence, KAMA. A. Truskett
was acquitted of the charge of muir
dering J. D. S. Neely, a Lima, o..
oil promoter, and was held by the
jury to have been insane at the time
he shot and killed Neely.
This was Trusketts fourth trial. He
was found guilty of second degree
murder at his first trial, in March,
1911, and was granted new trial by
the state supreme court. His second
trial resulted in a hung jury in Feb
ruary, 1912, and when Truskett,
month later, came before the court in
his third trial, the jurors again failed
to agree.
II was stated by counsel for Trus-
kett that law passed in Kansas
in 1911 provides that a person acquit-
ted of murder charge but held in
sane at the time of the killing is to
be committed to the state asylum for

REPEAL VOTES BY MAIL LAW
There Has Been Considerable Com
plant About the New System.

There is already a movement on to
amend or repeal entirely the mail
vote" law enacted by the last legisla-
ture. At the time the law giving all
qualified voters the right to vote away
from home was passed its constitu-
ionalality was questioned and since
he election there has been great
deal of talk of that character both by
Democrats and Republicans.
Up to two years ago railway en-
ployes were permitted to vote away
from home if they happened to be
away on election day. The legislature
then made the law cover every one
who happened to be away from home.
1t has been reported here since the
election that in many instances no
effort was made to check the mail
votes against the registration in the
,ities. The votes were mailed from
other parts of the state and were
,ounted. No one knows now whether
he voters were properly registered
md qualified to vote or not. The law
provides for a penalty on the voter
Who makes a false affidavit, but 1t
loes not prevent his vote from being
counted if no investigation is made by
The election judges.
There is lot of talk about law
authorizing the use of voting machines
n Kansas, but even if they are legal
zed there will be no way of providing
'or the mail vote so far as the ma
chine is concerned. 1t would still be
1ecessary to have printed ballots In
each precinct for the use of the absent
voters.
1t is not improbable that there will
Ne a bill offered at the coming ses'
sion repeating the law giving the vot-
ers the right to cast their votes wher-
ever they may be on election day. In
dozen or more counties the mail
votes have made it necessary for the
county canvassing boards to recon
vene after they had compiled their
official records.
