even consulted an attorney. do
not know as yet of any sure way to
defeat the tax at law, but have de-

and have no desire to go to Jail for

FROM SCOTT KELSEY.
Ex-Commissioner Writes Views on
Granville Road.

To Editor of State Journal.
see by the evening paper that County
Commissioners Sinner and Nipps want to
change the Granville road which tn nix
by all means is right before any more
money is spent by the board in improving
the road by matchmaking. There has
been more than COO dumped into the
kaw river in the last fifteen years to
protect the road where IT now Is and that
Is only commencement OF what it will
cost to maintain it in the future per-
manently- But il the road is changed to
north side of railroad tracks there will
be no more expense from that source
and 1t viii be a much safer road for pub
&c travel and do away with that danger
Gus crossing at Calhoun Bluffs, and spend
the money in making a good permanent
road instead Of putting the money in the
river to protect the road where it Is.
l Understanding the matter as to this pro-
position as I do I hope the board will
make the change as to location Of road
and IN the interest of the tax payers OF
the county. Respectfully
SCOTT KELSEY,
Ex-Comnisstoner of Third District.

DID Nos Answer This Question
Judge Huron replied In = rambling
discourse ON his ideas OF the merits OK
the case and the puni.zment he I'M
posed, but made no definite answer 70
the question
Nor could he recall definitely, in an
swer to questions from Mr.. Schenck any
case where a person was given sem
tence of 10 days and a dne OF $500 Tor
a first offense in violating the pronin.-
tory law. Judge Huron mentioned
case in which he had given a similar
sentence. but Mr.. Schenck pointed out
that the offender in this case was mo-
torfous as a vfolator OF the prohthftory
law.
Good Government Clubs Sennd-
In presenting his arguments u the
court, after the testimony was in. Mr..
Schenck touched on the attitude OF tbs
Good Government club in opposition to
the parole of HaI1oweII. He declared
that il struck him As peculiar that the
women of this club should have sought
the parole of another offender against
the prohibitory law and then opposed
a parole for HaHowelL And at the con-
clusion Of his argument Mrs Lucia o.
Case who with other members OF the
Good Government club. was present at
the hearing. asked the courts induI-
gence that she might make a few re-
marks. 1t was granted. and she eaid
that she wished to absolve the Good
Government club from any suggestion
that 1t had urged the parole OF any
violator Of the prohibftory law She
said that she personally. and not in any
way as a representative Of the Good
Government club, had tnterceded with
Judge Huron for the parole of a Frank
Brown who was doing time for violat-
ing the prohibftory law She had ap-
peared in behalf Of Brown on the plea
of his mother with whom she had been
friends for many years.
Schenck's Charges.
Mr. Schenck cited many court deci-
sions to sustain his contention that the
sentence imposed by Judge Huron was
in serious error. in addition to its be-
ing so exclusively severe as to warrant
its annulment. And he charged Judge
Huron with enmity and personal bias
in determining the punishment he in
fiictes1 on HalIoweIl- City Attorney
RaIstou handled the case for the city
a nd he denied the right of the district
court to overthrow the judgment of =
police court He too, cited a number
Of court decisions to substantiate the
of his attitude. And he in
sists that where a parole is refused by
a police judge. the power Of everything
it rested with the mayor and city COM
and not in the district court.
