Minority Leader Mann scathingly de-
nounced Chairman Graham and interde-
partment expenditures committee, charg-
ing them with knowingly permitting a
woman lobbyist to shape legislation. Mrs.
Helen Pierce Gray of Minnesota, was
named by Mr. Mann the lobbyist. He
charged that for three months she had oc-
cupied a desk in the office of the commits
sioner of Indian affairs on the strength
of her relations with the house commit

In that time, said Mr.. Mann, Mrs Gray
had solicited and had received fees
amounting to several hundred dollars

dissatisfied Indian had filed a protest
with Chairman Graham and that he had
told the woman to keep the money.

MUST KEEP OUT
Taxpayers League Must Find
Another Meeting Place.
Heat and Light Bills No Longer
Paid by County.

No more can the Taxpayers League
meet in the court house and abuse the
county's public servants. In an order
issued today, the county commissioners
rescind their former permission to use
the court room and w. H. Kemper,
president of the league, is notified that
the organization must hold its fireworks
display elsewhere.
Several months ago the commission
ers told the league they could hold their
Memb erS of the organization enjoyed
the heat and lights furnished at public
expense and were asked only to pay the
janitor bills. Now that warm weather
has come, the league can hold their
meetings in the park In an official let
ter to kemper, the board says:
when permission to use the court
room was granted the Taxpayers
League, through you as its president, It
was not contemplated that such use
would continue for an indefinite period.
In fact we know of no good reason
why this courtesy so long extended
should ever have been granted.
Upon due consideration we think YOU
VIII agree with US that there is no
more reason why the league should hold
its b1-monthly meetings there than that
the Saturday Night Club should be
gwen the same privilege, or that the
salvation Army should hold it's daily
religious meetings there, or that a sim
liar courtesy should be extended to the
North Topeka Civic Club or the South
Side Boosters Club, and especially is
that true when no charge is made for
wear and tear on the carpets, or for
light and fuel consumed.
You are hereby notified, therefore,
that further use of the court room or
any part of the court house will not be
given as meeting place for your or
ganizatiOn.''
Officers of the league have not as vet
arranged for meeting place.

OFFICER CRAZY
British Soldier Believed to Be Herding
Sheep in Montana.

Denver, April 12.-The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Fred
erick Fermer Hesketh, a lieutenant in
the British Ninth lancers who was
last seen at Kingstown, Ireland, Oc-
tober 20. 1910, appears to be solved
by a communication received here to-
day from DR.. B. F. Woodward, of Gill
Iette, Wvo.
DR.. Woodward said he met the man
who appears to be Lieutenant Hesketh
two days ago in F'romberg, Mont, and
as he was stranded secured him a po-
sition on sheep ranch. He seemed
somewhat demented.
The description given by DR.. Wood
ward exactly fits the British officer
Frederick Hesketh. Frederick Fermcr
Hesketh is the second son of Sir
Thomas Hesketh and of Lady Hesketh.
who was Flora Sharon of San Fran
cisco, a daughter of Senator Sharon,
owner of the Comstock lode and build
er of the Palace hotel in San Francisco.
Lieutenant Hesketh's brother, Captain
Thomas F. Hesketh, married Miss
Florence Breckenridge, daughter OF
Gen. ]. c. Breckenridge of Washing
ton, D. G.

TICKETS WERE LATE.
Charity Inundated Mrs. Belle Billings,
She Says.

For failure to deliver railway tickets
promptly, Belle Billings today filed suit
against the Union Pacific and Missouri
Pacific railways for $3.50 damages
The tickets which were wired from
Topeka to Bagnall Mo-, were not de-
livered until five days after the mes
sage was sent.
Mrs. Billings recites that herself, nus
band and two children were on a farm
p miles from Bagnall without money
to come to Topeka. Her brother, Alex
Bremen, of Topeka, wired tickets and
notified the plaintiff of his action With
the thermometer 10 below zero, mem
bers of the Billings family drove 2z
miles to the station. Their tickets had
not arrived. They had no money with
which to pay board and the agent In
the little town refused to permit the
family to sleep in the depot. Then
Mrs. Billings, her husband and children
appealed to charity and slept in the
home of a lowly ferryman.

IRON HAND OF LAW,
Reached Out and Clutched j. Nj.
RhOades After Eight Years.

After a search through many western
states, J. NJ. Rhoades is now safely
in the hands of the federal law for an
offense committed eight years ago.
Rhoades was convicted on a charge
of taking a letter from the Concordia
postoffice that belonged to another
man and with keeping a check for $40
which was in the letter.
In 1904, George Sharitt, clerk of
the old United States circuit court, sent
to Kansas City lawyer a check fol-
$40. The check was endorsed and sent
by the lawyer to James NJ. Rhodes, a
Frankfort man. One day a travelling
horse doctor called at the Frankfort
postofhce and received the letter ad-
dressed to Rhodes. From Frankfort
the man went to Concordia, where the
check was cashed. The matter came
to the attention of Inspector Ludland
of Topeka, who located Rhoades at
Holton. William H. Mackey, then Uni
TED States marshal was notified but
when he reached HoIton, Rhoades was
lone.
Then began a long and tedious
search for the man. But Rhoades was
not to be found. The matter of the $40
check was forgotten by everyone ex-
cept the federal officers and Rhoades.
One day few months ago, news came
from Mcpherson county that Rhoades
was on an Oklahoma farm, where he
was known as ]. NJ. White He was
arrested, brought to Topeka and posi-
lively identified. A jury late Thursday
afternoon found the man guilty of the
offense committed eight years ago
Judge Pollock granted a stay of exc
cutlOn to give the defendant time tC
prepare motion for a new trial.
