Entire Board Voted for Funds
That Caused Deficit.
THEY MUST VACATE
Law Provides No Excuse for
Their Recent Action.
Gossip at City Hall Over Custer
Proceedings.

The political war at the city hall may
result in serious charges against the
four commissioners and the mayor. Ac-
cording to W. c. Ralston, city attor-
ney, the commission law makes it nee
essary for a commissioner to vacate his
cffice in case he has spent more money
than his budget allowed A deficit of
several thousand dollars is shown in
the annual report Of the finance com
missioner and the law offers no excuse
TO the city Officials for staying in Of
flee.
When the budget trouble began a few
days ago it was carried out along po-
itical lines The forces behind Tandy
for may.r made public the figures that
Gocrs of Mayor Iillard, Commissioner
Miller and Com missioner Stotts. Miller
is a candidate fer mayor.
But when they played up these fig
ureS the Tandy-fOr-n fOrces for
got that the commission Law did not
limit the deficit to the one commission
er who made the oyerdraft. The law
states that all commissioners who vote
for an ordinance that Will ausc I &C.
felt are liable and are guilty of mis-
feasance of Office.
The Deficit in Funds.
The report of the finance commits
sioner and the city treasurer shows
that Commissioner Stotts is behind
er $4,000 and the mayor about $500.
But all of these deficits of the above
commissioners were caused
by unanimous vote from the entire
Board of commissioners. The expen-
that placed Stotts and Miller
in the arrears were voted by the board
According to the law this makes all
of the city board of commissioners Ii
able.
Here are the facts Commissioner
Stotts had a deficit. 1t was caused
by the city crematory and the small
pOx epidemic. The crematOry run out
of coal. The city had no money in the
crematory fund to buy more. They
voted to buy coal and charge it to the
fund rather than close down the plant.
The smallpox epidemic came on. It
had to be wiped out The commission
voted to do it at any expense. 1t was
lone and it cost $4,000. This made
deficit in Stotts' department. The
commission voted for it and the law
saws it was their fault
Commissioner Miller was confronted
with the Great White Way expense.
1t was not provided for in the budget
because he didn't know the city want
ed it. The Commercial club pushed
through the petitions and the white
way was put up to the board of city ,
commissi ioners. They voted on it. A
1eficit was the result The entire /
board was liable.

TO SETTLE STRIKE
Union Pacific in Trouble With
Postal Department.
Must Do Better, No Matter
What Method Is Used.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 26.-At the
close of 4 secret conference the operat-
ing heads Of the Hartman lines insist
ed today that the meeting was only to
talk over time schedules
That time schedules were discussed
is not questioned, but this is only part
of the story according TO men IN close
touch with the officials. Dissatisfaction
with the present schedules, it is said.
is the result of complaints by the gov
erEment that the mails have not been
hardled promptly enough since the be-
ginning of the strike in the Hartman
shops. 1t is to remedy this, according
to the we'll informed that the heads
of the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific,
Oregon Short Line and San Pedro, Los
Angeles & Salt Lake are considering
two courses of action.
Two Suggestions Made.
One, it is said, is the suggestion of
a compromise with the striking MEM
bers of the Hartman system fedora
ton of shop men, which strike leaders
have intimated they will accept. The
other is reorganization of the operat-
ing departments to bring about closer
train connection and hurry the mails.
No one present at the conference to-
day would admit that the strike situa-
ton had anything to dc with the con-
ference and evasive answers were re-
turned to questions along this line.
Many OfIiciaIs There.
Present ut the conference today
were:
For the ULion Pacific A. L. Mohler,
president; w. B. Scott, vice president
and general manager; J. A. Monroe,
vice president in charge Of traffic: Gar
lit Fort, passenger traffic manager; w.
d. Lincoln, assistant general manager
in charge of car service.
Fer the Southern Pacific: William
Sproule, president; E. =. Calvin, vice
president and general marager; e. o.
Mccormick, vice preside mt; Charles ;.
Fee, passenger traffic manager; G. F.
Richardson, car service agent
san Pedro, Los Angeles &. salt Lake:
J. Ross Clark, vice president; Fred 4
Wann, general traffic manager.
Mr.. Mohler, as president of the Oregon
Short Line, represents that road.

STUBBS GOT LETTER.
Receives Acknowledgements by Mail
From Colonel Roosevelt.

A telegram from Oyster Bay yes
terday made the statement that Col
onel Roosevelt had been again urged
to issue a public statement, that he
said, There is nothing for me to say,
I have made it plain that when the
occasion arises 1 will issue a
statement in my own hand writing -
end that the utterance was inspired
by a telegram and letters he had re-
ceived from Governor Grubbs and three
other governors, and that the colonel
spoke of irlportuning letters and re-
marked that while he said they were
written in a kindly spirit that the
writer's were wasting their time when
they pressed him for a public deciara-
ton, and that they must not expect
an answer and etc.
The governors office announces today
that a letter from Colonel Roosevelt was
received at the governors office last
night, but that as the governor had left
the city for the east the attaches of the
governors office would not make public
the contents of the letter, which is doubt
less a courteous acknowledged of the
governors message, and in no sense a
public answer to the governors demand
for a statement.

HIT In The HEAD.
A. X. Longren, Aviator, Injuries
William Jaenicke.
Victim Taken to a Hospital I'm
conscious.
RESULT OF OLD FEUD.
Men Quarreled Over COnstruc-
fiOn of Air Craft.
Both Worked on One Used Here
Last Fall.
RESULT OF OLD FEUD.

While engaged in a quarrel about IL
o'clock this morning, William K Jaen-
icke was hit in the head with a heavy
wrench by A. K. Longren the aviator,
and badly hurt. The trouble between
the men occurred in the work shop of
the Central Cycle Supply company. at
SIG Kansas avenue. where Jaenicke was
at work
The witnesses and principals of the
affair are reluctant to speak of the af-
fair, but Mr.. Lolgren claims he struck
his adversary in self defense. 1t is
known that but two blows were struck,
each man striking the other
The trouble is supposed to have re-
suited from i'll feeling which has ex-
listed for several months between these
two men. Jaenicke assisted Longren
in building the aeroplane which the
latter has been using in making flights
through the country recently. A mis-
understanding resulted while the work
was in progress or about the time it
was completed This is reported to have
been caused by a difference of opinion
in business matters which related to
money.
The aerorlane was completed and
Mr. Longren made his first flight of
Importance IA hen he flew over the city
and landed on the Washburn campus
during the state fair in September Mr..
Iongren left shortly after that to fill
flying engagements and was accom-
panied by his brother & s mechanician
instead of by Jaenicke.
The facts leading up to the quarrel
this morning are indefinite but Mr..
Longren claims that Jaenicke started it
by calling him liar Mr.. Longren says
he then walked up to Jaenicke and
told him that he could not prove it.
Jaenicke responded by hitting Longren
with a hammer and Longren struck
Jaenicke in the forehead with a wrench.
Jaenicl1e was taken to the Stormont
hospital in Bomgardner's ambulance
and is being treated by DR.. C.. NJ
Hensley.
He recovered consciousness shortly
after II o'clock and is reported to be
resting well this afternoon. 1t is rot
yet known how serious is his injury.
Three or four men were in the place
when the quarrel started and saw the
ight but were reluctant in discussing
it.
Mr.. Longren was arrested by Officer
WCnderly and taken to the police sta
tion where he was released on security
furnished by \. V. Iirdell, assistant
cashier of the Shawnee State bank He
is charged with committing an assault
and will be tried on this chage if
Jaenicke recovered without developing
any other evidence of permanent in
jury.

1T STILL HANGS FIRE
Delay in Naming Hook Makes Room
for Nagel Gossip.

Washington. Jan 2s.-The appoint
ment of an associate justice Of the su-
preme court to succeed Justice Harlan
will probably not be made until next
week. This has been learned by those
Kansans who are keeping in close touch
with the matter at the White House,
and the attorney generals office. Sa8-
ator Curtis conferred with the attorney
general in regard to the matter. There
has been no change in the situation. It
is understood. and the Kansans here
believe, that Judge Hooks chances arc
good. A statement was published ere
to the effect that the president infiu-
enced by the attorney general. has
within the last few days again inclined
in favor of Secretary Nagel for the
place. but this is not thought to be true
by the friends of Judge Hook

New York, Jan. 26.-The most in
innate friends of Charles w. Morse in
this city, including one or two who
knew the whole story of Morse's oper-
ations of his banks, the influences
which led to his prosecution and the
condition Of his health at the time OF
his conviction and removal to the fed
eral prison at Atlanta. say that al
though the president has given to Mr..
Morse his freedom nevertheless even
though his life is spared, he Is to be
permanently a physical and almost a
mental wreck. By careful nursing
and skillful medical treatment his life
may be prolonged, but the disease ~
organic, progressive and can. his
friends say, in all probability be no
more than temporarily checked. As
he is in body and in mind, his friends
say. so he is in fortune. The wonder
is how funds may be obtained with
which he can secure specialized medi-
cal treatment. His wife has been liv-
ing not merely modestly, but almost
penuriously. Her jewels have been
parted with to meet many of her ex-
penses. Morse himself has nothing.
