3 ) J 10 CENTS A WEEK. ABOUT FElGRABBIflG The "sTatement That Marshal Neely's Fees and Expenses Amount to About $18,000 in the Sanders Case, IS TRUE AS PRINTED In Spite of the Shrieks of the v ; orninc Howler. Jadire Fosfr Will Audit the Claims. Says That None but Just Claims Will be Allowed. The statement made in Saturday even ings Journal that the fees and expenses which Marshal Neely could collect for arresting and hauling Sanders' industri al army to Topeka would amount to $ 18, 000 is correct. The morning sheet in its haste to con ceal the fact that it was scooped on the news and also in ' its efforts to smooth matters for Mr. Neely our new Demo cratic United States marshal, came out Sunday morning with a partial statement of the facts in order to mislead its read ers. It is true that the maximum feea of Marshal' Neely's office are $6,000 every year; it is also true that his "expenses" are unlimited. The "expenses" is the catch -all under which .iarshal Neely coald get most of his $18,00 J. This paper did not state that Marshal Neely would draw such an enormous sum from the United States treasury; and he will scarcely do it now since pub lic attention is directed toward the mat ter. Judge C. G. Foster, of the United States district court, says he does not think Commissioner Wagoner and Marshal Neely accompanied the Missouri Pacific special train for the arrest of Sanders' commonwealers simply for the fees the transaction will put in their pockets. To a bTATE Journal reporter this morning Judge Foster said: "This mat-ter-of court officials collecting excessive fees is something in which we need a reformation. I am glad the Journal is outspoken about this, although I think more should bo said about the way fee grabbing is carried on in the justices courts. "Congress has fixed a maximum at which the salaries of all officers in the employ of the government shall turn their receipts in tees over to the govern ment. , "This maximum, does not, however, prevent- government officials from col lecting and keeping what they art al lowed by the statutes for expenses while in the performance of their duty. "When, the fees of a United States marshal have reached $6,000 in a year he must turn all fees in excess over to the government. I am'inclined to think Marshal Noely will hardly get as much as $18,000 for the arrest of these men. It is my duty as judge of the court of this district to audit the claims of the mar shal, clerk, attorney, commissioner and all other officers cf the court. Of course these officials must always make affidavit as to the truthfulness of their claims and I must be guided in noma degree by their statements "under oath as to the actual expenses, but in a cae like this where such a large amount of money is involved I shall be careful to see that none but just claims are al lowed. "The largest item in Marshal Neely's claim for expenses will of course be rail road fare for himself, prisoners and guards. This is not to be included under the head .of fees for which a maximum is fixed because it is an expense in the performance of his duty. The law allows him ten cents a mile which he is entitled to for each man carried, but I am doubtful if Marshal Neely will get any thing for railroad fare. He surely will not unless I am reliably in formed that the Missouri Pacific charged him railroad fare for bringing those men from Scott City to Topeka. I will make a careful investigation before I allow the fees in this case." The statement of the Journal of what Marshal Neely would receive in the or dinary process of law in arresting an army like the commonwealers and haul ing them a distance ot 800 miles, is sus tained by what Judge Foster says. The Journal said the amount Mar shal Neely would receive for railroad fare would be the big item in his re ceipts. The law allows him ten cents a mile; which, allowing him 100 guards, which it was said he had, and the 451 enrolled 'wealors, made 551 persons for whom he would be allowed to collect ten cents for each of the 300 miles traveled between Scott City and Topeka. The U. S. marbhal could have accept el the complimeutary passage on Balie raggener's special train and then col lected ten cent a a mile for each man, and $16,530 would have found its way into his pocket on this one item alone, which is registered as expenses, and is not covered by the law fixing the maxi mum fees of a United States marshal. Of course if J udge Foster learns that Balie Waggener carried the wealers for nothing, Mr. Neely will get nothing; but if Waggener charged regular fare, 3 cents a mile, Mr. Neely's claim for ex penses will be allowed, and he will pay $4,959 over to the railroad company, and his commission on the deal, on which the government can have no claim, will be $11,571. Judge Foster says Commissioner Wag gener will not get to exceed $50 or $60 oat of the trial of these men when every thing is finished before him. -Marshal Neely will be paid br the government for all his expense in feed ing and caring for the men and if he is like ordinary officials he will get every cent he paid out in expense. By hauling the wealers from Topeka Tr to Leavenworth Marshal Neely gets NIGHT EDITION. TOPEKA, KANSAS, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 14, an additional pick at Uncle Sam's pocket. The Santa Fe charged him regular fare for hauling the army over to Leaven worth and the additional seven cents goes to Mr. Neely. It is 57 miles from Topeka to Leaven worth, and after Mr. Neely has paid the Santa Fe three cents a mile for each member of the army, he will have some thing over $1,000 to deposit to his own bank account. The statement made originally in the Statk Journal Saturday night was gone over by three prominent lawyers of To peka and verified. As to dragging A. G. Stacey into the matter, Mr. Stacey is not responsible in any way for the information, not even by suggestion. We are not surprised, how ever, that the Capital now sees an A. G. Stacey behind every bush. The "Morn ing Braver" ought to devote more of its time to getting the news and paying its debts and less to showing its long ears every time the Journal prints the news. The public is tired of its everlasting hee haw. DEATH OF J AMES REID. Us fut Awy With Consumption fit Albuquerque, New Mexico.

HENST GEORGE DEFENDS COXETISM Catholic Prelate Scored for Opposing: Georgj's Views. New York, May 14. Dr. McGlynn and Henry George spoke at Checkering Hall last night. This was the first time since 1887 the aposlle of single tax and the president of the Anti-poverty society had appeared on the same platform to gether. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Manhattan Single tax club and the hall was crowded. Dr. McGlynn spoke in a religious strain on the "Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man." He said it was a fallacy to say the golden age wa? past, as the millenium was still to come. Mr. George in his address defended the Coxey movement. It was a bitter re buke, he said, to the people when their leaders are arrested for trespassing on the capitol grounds. He scored the sen ators for tinkering with the tariff. Anar chy and socialism would become ram pant, he predicted, unless the doctrine of single tax was embraced to avert them. Arch-bishop Corrigan and certain Ig norant preists had attempted to' say the doctrines of the anti-Poverty Society were contrary to the teachings of the church but a higher authority had shown this to be erroneous. Arch-bishop Sat-, olli had told Father McGlynn the single, tax belief was not in coufiict with the tenants of the church. Cardinal Manning had said the same thing and at the recent Catholic congress iu Rome, the vicar general had said the day would come when the government would be forced to accept the single tax. After the address members of the au dience put questions to Mr. George. One question was: "How about David B. Hill?" "Oh he's not worth talking about," answered Mr. George. FITZGERALD IX JAIL.
