DUTY WELL DONE
Veteran Police Horses Are Re-
tired From Service.
For Twelve Years They Have
Pranced Pavements.

! Twelve years of faithful night and
! day service for the city ended this
morning for Red Cloud" and Chief, "
the veteran patrol horses of the police
department. Red Cloud and Chief
were sold by Chief Parsons this morn
take their place The patrol wagon
will be eventually disposed of.
In the twelve years that Red Cloud
and Chief have been in the police de-
of trips through the city. In the old
days when a raid in Topeka was a
raid in capital letters, Red Cloud and
Chief made on the average of a half
dozen trips a day. The team was pur-
chased and brought from Nebraska in
1903 by Carl Golf, then chief of police.
They replaced a team of blacks that
were made worthless by service in the
1903 flood.
Although Red Cloud and Chief are
nearly II years old they are as spir
tied as the day they entered the serv-
ice. Only yesterday the clang of the
patrol bell as they raced across the
pavements was music to their ears. A
whip with Red Cloud and Chief was
unknown.
The horses were given an honorable
discharge and an effectionate pat by
men at the station this morning with
whom they have worked for years.
Tomorrow the horses may be pulling
a dray-their honors taken by
hired team from a livery stable near
the station. Chief Parsons said this
morning that until January 1 of next
year team for the patrol wagon
would be hired when needed. Since
the police auto was purchased by the
city, there has been little need of the
horses. A motor patrol will be pur-
it will be possible to obtain the money
from CitV funds.

jority of the cabinet. And the presi-
dent expected that he would do this
today. In fact, prior to. the cabinet
meeting, it was understood from the
president that the cabinet would he
unanimous and that the note would
have che approval OF all of the mem
bers- An announcement to this effect
was forthcoming. sr
The first intinIation that anything
was wrong came when tho secretary
did not show up at the executive
offices with the other members. His
absence was not at first commented
upon because It was known that Count
Won BernStorff. the German amba ssa-
dor, was at the department.. However,
1T was soon ascertained that the bust
ness the amba ssador was concerning
himself with had to do with Counsel
Tor Lansing.
Won't Stand for Note.
The rumors that the secretary had
sent word to the president that he
would not stand for the note as
framed began to gain currency. In
quiry at the White House revealed the
fact that Secretary Bryan had sent
word that he would be in his office
working on an important paper and
would be late. At the state department
Eddie" Savoy. the secretary's co1ored
messenger, refused to take any cards
in to Bryan He said that he did not
know whether his chief actually in
tended attending the meeting.
He is very busy and L cannot dis
turb him." was the only statement
Eddie" would make.
At the White House distinct air
of tension was manifest. All inquir-
les as to what Secretary Bryan was
going to do We're ignored. And when
it was asked if he was not coming at
all. the inquiry fell upon deaf ears.
Finally about IL O'Clock the secre-
tary left his office and came across
the street. His face was flushed and
his features hard set His mouth was
a straight set line across his face and
he responded to inquiries addressed to
him with negative shakes of the head
He swung through the offices into
the cabinet room with the set stride
with which he mounted the steps of the
Baltimore platform to deliver his IA
