initiated into the Fraternal Aid Union
at Security hall Tuesday night than
could be handled in one class. Eighty
five were received into the order.
Twenty were left on the waiting list

the expectation is that this number
will be increased to another IS by that
time.

Measure Passed by House.

BY a vote of II to 80. the house
passed the Stone bill providing for the
amalsamat of the state penal board
and the board of control. The bill
was made a party issue, although nine
Democrats voted with the Republic
cans on final passage of the hill. Pro-
gressive members in the house at the
time also supported the bill, while
Satterthwaite of Butler, Republican.
voted with the minority.
Two hours of sound OratOry preced-
ed the passage Of the bill. which was
characterized by Democrats as pOlit-
lea; strategy to remove Democrats
from office under the guise of econ
omy in public office.
A A. Doerr of Pawnee, floor leader
for the minority. was bitter in his de-
nunciation of the tactics of the adj
ministration and charged the Republic
cans with bad faith in trying to abol-
ish the prison board. Moxcey of
Atchison declared that the admins
tration showed it's zeal to control pub
lie jobs by asking the legislature to
place the offices in charge of Repub-
licans and enact a civil service bill to
keep them there.
| Martin of Reno. Elliott OF Douglas,
Bardwell Of Riley and Burton Of La
bette spoke for the bill. They de-
clared the measure was in the interest
Of economy and efficiency and meant
saving to the taxpayers of the state.

was short lived. On final passage, the

bers voting in the negative.

TURN Down KELLEY.
House Committee Rejects Former
Trcasurcr's Financial Request.

The house ways and means COM
mittee today rejected the claim of T.
T. Kelley, former state treasurer. who
asked to be reimbursed in the sum of
$2,177 for attorneys fees resulting
from suits following the failure Of the
First National bank of Topeka while
he was state treasurer. Members of
the committee held that the state was
not bound to the payment of the
claim.
Witnesses called before the COM
mittee testified that the state Id not
only collected its claims in full from
the defunct bank, but that it had
profited in the sum ofabout $40, 900 as
a result of the litigation. Kelley was
state treasurer at the time of the fail
ure of the First National and as treas
urer employed counsel to assist in the
collection of the state funds deposited
in the bank. He filed with the state
g. claim of $2.177 to cover his attOr-
ney's fees and the matter was refer
red to the claims and accounts COM
mittee. Because. as the committee
held. there was no showing that the
state was bound to the payment of
the fees or had authorized contract of
the debt, the claim was rejected.

NO PAY ON SUNDAY
House Decides to Relieve EN-.
plOyees of Customary $3.
Must Work for Salaries, De.
clare Economy Workers.

1t is probable that all legislative
employees not actually engaged in
Sunday work for the state will not
receive pay for Sundays during the
present session. The lid on Sunday
pay went on in the house today under
ruling by Speaker Stone and may
be adopted in the senate. The reform
was instigated when a house employee
today refused to accept pay for Sun
day work when he had performed no
service. -
For many years the custom has
been to pay legislative employees and
members for Sundays as we'll as week
days. Under this rule, each Sunday
was counted as a legislative day and
the fifty day session for which MEM
berS received pay, was computed on
Sundays as well as week days. Since
the opening of the legislative session.
members and employees have received
pay for three Sundays It is probable
that the 50 thus received by each EN-
plOyee not actually engaged in the
performance of service for the state
will be deducted from the next pay
check
Following the ruling today, there
was CONSERVATION among employees
who believed that the old rule would
be observed and that they would re-
ceive pay for Sundays as well as week
days. The reform adopted in the
house will be checked up to the sem
ate for action and it Is probable that
employees of both houses will suffer
| loss of 80 from their pay checks
when warrants are issued next week
for legislative services Members and
employees today received their third
ten-day pay checks. AS the warrants
had already been drawn for full ten
days service, no change was made in
the payments at this time.

ONLY THREE MINUTES.


Following the reading OF all propos-
ed constitutional provisions before the
house, that body this afternoon voted
to allow authors of various resolu-
tiOns three minutes each in which to
explain merits of their measures An
effort was made to limit all debate to
one hour. This motion was later
withdrawn. Under the rules, the house
now has unlimited time for considera-
ton OF the measures. Debate may
continue an hour. It may occupy the
remainedr of the afternoon. session
and run far into the night.
Adoption of the various resolutions
by the house will be by roll call on
each separate resolution. Under a
ruling announced by Speaker Stone,
should moro than three amendments
be adopted by the legislature the
question would then be checked up to
the secretary Of state. He would then
determine the three measures to be
submitted to the voters in the 1916
election.

FIGHT every inch
Lawyers in Beautiful Battle
Over Collins Case.
CircumStantial Evidence Plays
Big Part in Procedure.

During today's proceedings in the
Theodore Hammatt-John Collins al
legged black hand case in the first df-
vision of the district court witnesses
for the state gave important circum-
stantial testimony. Testimony was
made by members Of the posse which
made an attempt to catch the black
handler on the night of September %
and by those who were in the F. L.
Campbell auto. the car in which coun-
was hailed by the man who was wait
ing with the fashlight when the Kan
sas City detective blew up the fire
works.
Failure on the part of the Kansas
City sleuth to appear in answer to a
summons sent him is continuing to
handicap the state, according to cOun-
ty officials.
1t is expected that the case will con-
tinue for the remainder of this week
and possibly for the first part of next
week. Only about one-half of the
states witnesses were examined dur
ing the first three days or the hearing.
The court room was crowded today.
Counsels for both the state and the
defense are conducting their parts OF
the case with hair splitting detail.
Mrs. MacGrath, 1912 Kansas ave-
nue., in the witness chair today, testi-
fled that she was in the F. L. Camp
bell car on the Topeka avenue road
on the evening of September % when
the car was hailed by a man who
wanted a ride to or near Pauline.
Mrs. MacGrath was in the rear seat
of the car. She stated that man said
that he had broken his motorcycle
and lived near Pauline and that he
wanted to go home for supplies. The
man, according to Mrs. MacGrath,
rode on the running board Of the car
and she testified that in her judgment
that the man was Collins. However.
when cross-examined by Schenck and
Ensminger she said that she would
not swear to the statement.
Mrs. MacGrath said that she was
frightened when the man jumped out
in the road and hailed the occupants
of the car but recovered from her
fright when he stepped on the rum
ningboard because his face looked IA
miliar.
prior to that time did you know
John Collins" she was asked.
No"
According to Mrs. MacGrath and
other occupants of the car the man
who rode on the runningboard left the
auto about two miles north of the
scene of the flash light incident.
Hugh MacGrath. Mitchell Bundy
jailer, and other witnesses for the state
testified today.
MacGrath's testimony was similar
to that of Mrs. MacGrath

PEAK RULES FOR GLAZER
IN SUIT OF JONES

A Judgment for the defendant has
been returned by Justice Peak in the
case Of William Jones against Israel
Glazer. The plaintiff sued for $3.50
damages on the grounds that horse
owned by GlaZer had kicked horse
owned by the plaintiff and which the
plaintiff kept in the barn with the per
mission of Glazer. The justice agreed
with Glazer that the plaintiffs horse
had been kicked by a horse likewise
owned by the plaintiff and not by a
horse owned by GlaZer.
The justice found against Glazer in
a suit brought against James Luther.
The evidence was that Glazer had sold
two horses to one Tomlinson, and that
before they were paid for Tomlinson's
wife had sold one of them TO Luther.
Glazer sued to replevy the horse from
Luther on the grounds that he had
retained a note which gave title in the
property TO the vendor until the pur-
chase price had been paid. The court
concluded that Glazer had waived this
title and had given Mrs. Tonalinson
permission 10 sell the horse.
