TOPEKA Letter

topeka, II an, u uly o. NO nd1-
ter which way he turns, Cover
nor Hodges seems to be squarely
up against trouble in the settle
ment of the Democratic United
States senatorial row. Now
Kansas politicians are predict
ing that Hodges will find it i'm
possible to stay out of the muss
and that he will meet opposition
within his own party in his effort
to secure a second nomination
At least two candidates, posi-
bly, a.third or fourth have claim
on the Hodges support. Should
Hodges directly or indirectly
show favoritism to either of these
men, it may mean trouble.
Last winter "Ironjaw" Brown
was the one best bet of the ad-
ministration crowd in any fight
that required leadership. Time
after time Brown, as speaker of
the house, went on the floor to
champion the Democratic meas
ures. Never once during the
session did Brown lose an import
tant fight and ne was fighting
most OF the time. But Brown
was fighting for Hodges admins
tration. After the session he
was rewarded withra 81, 200 job
on the penal board. But Brown,
it is said, really expected more
than that little job and will ex-
pect some support from Hodges
in the primary fight next year.
Take the case of Henderson
Martin. Twice Martin was chair
man of the state comittee when
Hodges ran for governor. The
last time Martin put Hodges
across. To be sure Martin has
been given a 81 900 job as chair
man of the utilities comission.
But won't Martin naturally ex-
pect Hodges friendly assistance
next summer?
Then then e is Senator Carney
of Cloud. Carney may be sena-
torial possibility, There is no
denying that Carney performed
some valuable service for the adj
ministration last winter But
will Hodges help him to go to the
United States senate?
Looking at the fight from the
every day rules of the game,
Hodges seems to be in a position
where he must take some stand.
VIII he support Brown or Mar
tin or Carney? And what will
the opposition do to keep Cover
nor Hodges busy while he is
tinkering with the senatorial
scrap? The dope may be wrong.
But the politicians forsee trouble
for the Democratic governor be
fore the close of the 1914 primary
campaign

campaign

There is pretty little story
regarding the recent appoint
ment by Governor Hodges Of
George E. Ross to the Office of
State Grain Inspector. The APP
pointment of Ross has to do
with the row in the oil inspectors
office and an old feud in the
Thirty fifth senatorial district.
Last winter when Frank Cum
iskey was made Oil Inspector,
Joe Casey, of Chafin, was named
as a deputy over righteous pro
tests of George Ross. And the
fight which Ross started, never
stopped. until Ross was given
the grain inspectorship as a
peace offering.
Away back in 1900. when j
Ralph Burton was a candidate
for United States senator, Ross
was a candidate for the state
senate from the Thirty fifth dis
trict. His opponent was Robert
Findley. a Republican and Bur
ton supporter. On the face OF
the returns, Ross won by z.
votes. Findlay contested II

of Chaflin. now a Democrat,

MISS M'MATH
WAS CLAIMED
BY Death
HAD Been ILL LONG time
Funeral Exercises to Be Held
Today

The death angel has claimed Miss
Helen McMath, the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert L. McMath, who pass
ed away at noon Saturday at their
residence on Rees park. In view of
her protracted illness, extending over
a period of several years, the death OF
Miss McMath was not unexpected to
her family and large number of de-
voted friends. For three or four years
she had been in poor health, and while
at times ray of hope came to those
who watched tenderly at her bedside,
it was but for little while, and never
did the roses come back to her cheeks
to remain
With the hope that the mountain at
mosphere of North Carolina would
prove beneficial, she remained two
years at Highlands, but the reliet
sought was not permanent. Through
out her long illness and confinement
to her home never did a murmur es-
cape her lips. With devotion and ten
derness lavished upon her, she gave
love and smiles in return.
Miss McMath was reared in Ameri-
Gus and no one claimed more friends
than did this beautiful young girl
and many are there who grieve today
at her death. Besides her parents
she is survived by four sisters and four
brothers, to whom sincere sympathy is
extended.
The funeral services will be con-
Quoted this afternoon at four o'clock
from the family residence by Rev. !
A. Thomas, of the First Methodist
church. The pall-bearers will be
Messrs. L. w. Brown, L. L. McCleskey
w. c. Sullivan, W. NJ. Riley, C. s
Glover, J. L. Sparks, E. L. Bell, J. E.

MARKETS and
LOCAL DIARIES
ARE INSPECTED
BY OFFICIALS OF STATE
Inspection viii be Continued
Monday

Under direction of Dr. Wade Cham
bliss, chairman of tn Americus Board
of Health, a careful and thorough eX-
animation of all the city meat markets,
local dairies and pens where cattle
and hogs are slaughtered was begun
yesterday and will be continued until
every such place in Americus has un-
dergone inspection by state board.
Assisting DR.. Chambliss in this i'm
portant work are DR.. P. H. Bahnsen
and DR.. H. c. Hutchens, of the state
veterinary department, and Mr.. P. a.
Methvin, of the pure food department,
all of whom spent yesterday here up
on this work.
AS there are such a large number OF
places to be inspected, the officials
did not nearly complete the rounds
yesterday, DR.. Chembliss stated last
night. The work of inspection will b.
resumed tomorrow morning and con-
t:nued through the day, when every
market, butcher pen and dairy will
have been inspected.
Only one dairy was visited yester-
day by these officials, who found con-
ditions most favorable from sanitary
standpoint The condition of the
cows, and OF the dairy p: emises as
well, was highly complimented. AS
milk is such an important part of the
daily food supply, it is matter Of
congratulation that the dairies are IL
good condition
When the inspection of markets,
pens and dairies is completed Monday
the board of inspectors will request
a special meeting of the city council
for the purpose of making recommen-
dations to that body.
To the end of safeguarding the pub
lie health, it is quite likely that Amet-
icus ere long will have a central
slaughter house, where all cattle ami
pigs sold in the local market will be
killed and dressed, and the meat care
fully inspected before it is offered for
sale.

TO PROSECUTE
THREE DEALERS
COTTON FUTURES
new INDICTMENT is ASKED
In New York Court Against
Southern Men

New York, May 24.-The department
of justice has decided to seek the re-
indictment of Frank Hayne and Wiz
liam P Brown, of New Orleans, EI-
gene Scales of Texas and Col. Robert
NJ Thompson of New York, on charges
of conspiracy to corner the cotton crop
of 1909.
This was learned today when sub
poenaes were issued by United States
District Attorney Marshall for the ap,
pearance next week before the federal
grand jury of the witnesses upon
whose testimony the indictments now
standing against them were found.
The document contained flaws, it
is understood, which the government
fears might stand in the way of con-
viction. IL is charged that, with Jas.
A. Patten, of Chicago, the defendants
conspired to create a bull pool with
the intention of artificially raising the
price of cotton in order to obtain q
profit of ten million dollars.
Patten pleaded guilty last February
to the sixth count of the indictment
known as the contract count, which
alleged that the defendants entered in
to contracts to buy up all the raw cot
ton produced in 1909 and to hold i:
out of the market until November, 1910
He was fined four thousand dollars,
and under an agreement between his
counsel and the department of justi e
the other counts in the indictment were
mol pressed.
Patten announced in entering his
plea that he was mot conscious 0f
any moral turpitude."
Messrs. Hayne, Brown and Scales
professed to be indignant at his ac-
ton and said that they would fight
the case to the end. Col. Thompson
recently sailed for Europe.
All five defendants originally
pleaded not guilty and with the ex-
ception of Col. Thompson, demurred
to the indictment. The demurrer was
defeated in the United States supreme
cuurt.

ANOTHER STR IN ATLANTA
Attorney Fielder is Preparing
Statement

Atlanta, Ga, May "a. - The stir
created in local political circles when
it became known that the fight be-
tween one of the political elements in
the city and the police department had
reached the stage where city detectives
had resorted to the use of secret tele-
phone device was enhanced today by
the publication in the Atlanta Journnl
of a record which shows that the de. !.
tectives have employed the device
against the mayor of the city, James
G. Woodward.
The device had first been used
against Thomas B. Fielder, a promiu-
ent local attorney, who had interested
himself in the prosecution of the
Mary Phagan murder case.
The stenographic report of his con-
ference with G. c. February, secretary
to Chief of Detectives -. A. Lanford,
purported to show that the attorney
was endeavoring to secure papers m
the Phagan case which he declared
the local police had manufactured and
which he believed would be sufficient
to drive Chief of Police Beavers AMI
Lanford from Office"
Mayor Woodward, in the record Sc
cured with telephone device, is quoc-
ed as saying that he was looking
for evidence against the police de-
partment and particularly against
Chief Beavers. The mayor is ais
alleged to have said there were suffi-
cient votes in the local police board
to remove Beavers, if the evidence
could be secured.
Colonel Fielder today is preparing
q lengthy statement in reply to the
charges contained in the record Sc
cured by the telephone device and
made public yesterday Mayor Wood
ward today declared that he made I'D
statement at the conference which he
was not willing to have published.

SUGGEST AN
EXTENSION
Of TAYLOR
FROM Lee TO JACKSON ST.
Attention Has Been Attracted
to Such a Change

Recently the holding of the Chautau-
qua on the vacant lot up in the city
has served to attract attention anew
to the extension of Taylor street to
Jackson street. A number Of refer
ences have been made to this recent
ly.
The fact that this block, which is an
unwieldy one and has the extent, as
matter of fact, of two ordinary
blocks, has no street through it from
Church to Finn has caused the sugges-
ton that Taylor street be extended
from Lee to Jackson, thereby opening
up some valuable property for resi-
dence purposes and greatly enhancing
the value of this property.
From the comment recently made, it
seems that such change would be an
advantage both to the public and 20
the property holders. What discussion.
if any, will be given the matter by city
council will be awaited with interest.
