as attorney to the public utilities
commission at a salary of $4,000 a

The appointment of Moxey will not
affect the position held by Judge A. E.

counsel to the utilities commission.
Moxey's work will be entirely inde-
pendent of Helm and he will have
charge of the legal work for the COM

was offered to Samuel T. Seaton, par
don and parole clerk in the govern
or's Office, it is claimed. Seaton. how
ever, preferred to stay with his pres
ent job and declined the appointment.
For nearly two weeks the appoint
ment Of Moxey has been held up to
await his acceptance. 1t came this
afternoon and the appointment was an
nounced by Governor Hodges. Moxey
is Il well known Atchison county law

POLICE, AT LAST!
Mayor COfran Hints of Addition

Cope With Series of Burglaries
and HOldups.

rumcr has been circulated around
police headquarters to the effect that
there viii be several more patrolneu
snd one detective added to the city po-
lice force next month. Mayor r. l.
Cofran did not deny it this morning.
Probably three men will be added to
the Topeka police force after the first
Of the year." said the mayor, but there
will not be any more plain clothes
men employed. The new officers will
be on patrol duty
1t was believed necessary by many
that a larger police force should be
employed. This fall and early winter
has been notable for the alarming num-
ber of holdups, petty burglaries and
doubtful characters who are on the
citys streets at night.
No sergeant has yet been appointed
to succeed Josiah Ross, now chief of
police. The police force the first part
of this month was the smallest in sew
eral years, but efforts will be made to
increase the number of officers. Two
plain clothes men were discharged this
year and the policewomen were ap-
pointed in their places.

JURY FAILS TO AGREE.
Two Members Insist That Hans
Schmidt Was Insane.

New York, Dec. 31.-After de1iber-
ating SO hours the jury trying the case
of Hans Schmidt, the former priest
at st. Joseph's church. accused Of the
murder of Anna Aumuller, reported
that it could not reach an agreement
and was discharged.
The foreman Of the jury reported to
Judge Foster that there was no posi-
bility of an agreement being reached,
the last ballot taken being exactly as
the first. Two of the jurors had stood
out against conviction all the time,
Foreman Ottinger said.
After thanking the jurors and free
ing them from further service in con-
nection with the case, Judge Foster
directed that Schmidt be remanded to
the tombs.
The accused ex-priest heard the re-
port Of the jury without showing
much interest. 1t was learned that
the two jurors who had failed to agree
with the other ten were of the opinion
that Schmidt was insane when he
killed the woman with whose murder
he is charged.
The crime for which Hans Schmidt
has been on trial is considered one OF
the most revolving in the history OF
this city. Early in September, parts
of a woman's body were found in the
Hudson river. Schmidt was arrested
q few days later and admitted that
on Sept. he had killed Anna Aumul-
ler q woman with whom he had lived.
He said he acted by divine command.
His trial started Dec. 8 and towards
the last became largely a battle among
alfenists for the defense and the state.
Schmidt's father and sister came from
Germany to this country to assist in
his defense of insanity.
