Han Who Won 5,000 in Guess
Ins Contest After Parol.
State Parole Board Takes Fator
able Action on Application.
VERY US US UAL CASF.
lias Served 13 1-2 Years for
Killing a Policeman.
His Sentence Commuted to 20
Years by Governor Bailey.
Governor E. V. Hoch has not re
ceived as yet the recommendations of
the parole board of the Kansas peni
tentiary, consisting- of the warden and
the three directors. that he extend
executive clemency and grant a parole
to "Phil" Killion, who is serving a
term in the prison for murder in the
second degree for aiding in the killing
of a police officer in Winfield, Kan., in
1893. Killion's parole was recom
mended by the board .last Saturday.
Killicn is looked upon as one of the
rather remarkable characters in the
state's prison. On two occasions he
has displayed considerable heroism in
fighting fires there and since he has
been in prison he won a $5,000 prize
in one of the Kansas City convention
hall guessing contests, on an Invest
ment of $12 which he made in tickets
for the affair. Through the warden of
the penitentiary he has invested about
half of this money in real estate and
the rest of it is being held by the war
den in trust for him.
The original sentence imposed on
Killion was for twenty-five years. This
was commuted to twenty years by for
mer Governor Bailey because of Kil
lion's commendable behavior on a
couple of occasions. He discovered a
fire in the workship one night and by
prompt action he kept the fire from
spreading and saved a large loss to the
state. On another occasion during the
administration of Harry S. Landis as
warden, Killion helped to put out a
fire in the coal mine. He risked his
life by crawling into coal "rooms" to
extinguish fires and came near suf
focating in several instances.
Killion has been in the prison since
April, 1S93, having therefore served
nearly thirteen years and six months of
solid time. During the first years of
his incarceration he made considerable
trouble and he found it hard to get
along with the other prisoners, but in
the last ten years his record has been
such as to win the confidence of the
prison officials. For two years past he
has been utilized as a "trusty" in the
position as watchman at the pump
house. He remains at the pump house
on the river bank at night and makes
the trip to and from the prison unat
tended. In the event of the governor grant
ing him a parole Killion plans to pass
his remaining days on a farm, which
he proposes to purchase with the
money that he won. He is now suffer
ing greatly from rheumatism and of
late has shown that he is badly broken
In both health and spirits.
Several applications for a pardon for
Killion have been filed in the executive
cffice in times past but have been turn
ed down by the various governors.
They have been opposed strenuously
by the citizens of the community where
the crime Killion is expiating was
committed. Governor Hoch has re
ceived many of these protests and he
said today that when the recommenda
tions for the parole reached him, he
would give the matter his most careful
consideration before arriving at a decision.

Mutilated Body of Raymond Williams
Found in Seneca Yards.
Seneca. Kan., Nov. 13. The muti
lated body of Raymond Williams, a
son of George Williams, a wealths
banker and cattle raiser of Seneca,
Kan., was found in the railroad yard
at this place early this morning. There

though it is supposed that he spent the
evening at the home of a friend, and
not desiring to wait for a late passen
ger train home, attempted to board a
passing freight train and fell under the
wheels to his death.
WHITE TO WRITE PLAY.
Emporia Editor r.nd Author to Pre
pare Piny for Ezra Kendall.
Kzra Kendall, comedian, is at the
Throop hotel today, and he appears in
"Swell Elegant Jones" at the New
Grand opera house tonight. Mr. Ken
dall has been contemplating for a year
or so the prospect of appearing In a
play written by a Kansas man, and he
today informed a reporter for the State
Journal that he felt that his hopes in
this direction were about to be real
ized. William Allen White, the well
known Emporia editor and writer.
will very likely furnish Mr. Kendall
with his next vehicle.
A year or so ago when Mr. Kendall
was in Kansas he had a talk with Mr.
V hue on the subject, but for some
reason the thing was dropped, but it
now appears that Mr. White will pro
ceed with the story for the play. Mr.
Kendall talked with Mr. White over
the long distance telephone from To
peka today, and he will meet Mr.
White when he plays at Emporia on
the 28th of this month.
The theme of Mr. White's play will
evolve about a tramp printer; his ex
perience ups and downs: and his
growth into an editorial position in
the community. It will furnish an apt
opportunity for a display of Kendall's
style of wit and humor.
The story will be enlivened with a
romance or two, together with a. few
characters intended as a satire on
politicians and society, and other
homely characters to portray people
and things as they actually exist in real
life.
"I think Mr. White is one of the best
of the writers of. character studies
that we have." said Mr. Kendall to
day, "and while Mr. White has neve!
prepared a stage production. I fee,
positive that he can and will be a
successful as an author of a piay as he
already is acknowledged to be as a
writer and author."

up his offense to emphasize the play
ing of the captain mere than ever be
fore. "It is Eekie's last game and we
will try to give him a send off," said

F. M. Edwards, an old and respected
resident of Shawnee county, was found
dead about 8 o'clock this morning in
his barn where he had gone to attend

before and started for the barn and not

family who went In search of him.
He had placed a stool in position and
started to milk when he was stricken
with heart trouble and apparently died
where he fell without a Etruggle. He
was about TO years of age, and childish,
which led to the appointment of a
guardian about six months ago, though
at the time an attempt was made by
his family to have him declared insane.

chased a farm of 120 acres which he

CALVE TO WED.
It Is Said That the Great Singer Has
Abandoned the Stage.
Paris, Nov. 19. The vague rumors
which have been circulating here for
several days to the effect that Mme.
Calve was betrothed to a rich Amer
ican and would never again appear on
the operatic stage are apparently con
firmed. Last night, having quietly
left her apartments, the singer left
Paris for a long period after confiding
the news to a few intimate friends but
demanding a pledge of secrecy regard
ing the name of her future husband.
Mme. Calve's servants said she went
away with her affianced but they were
unable to give either their destination
or his name. It Is-believed -that the
couple are now on board a yacht.
The whole affair is shrouded in
mystery and romance. The future
husband of Mme. Calve is described as
a rich American and artist, passion
ately fond of music, who for a long
time has never missed a performance
of Mme. Calve, but who until recently
had not sought an introduction. Just
at the time when the American de
cided to ask for Mme. Calve's hand in
marriage an accident to an electric
apparatus rendered him blind, the last
vision before he lost his sight being
the face of the singer. Upon the re
turn of the couple to France next
spring it is said Mme. Calve and her
husband will install themselves in a
chateau where a theater similar to
Adelina Patti's theater at Craig-y-Nos,
Wales, will be built- for- Mme. Calve
and her friends. '"
The news of Mme. Calve's marriage
has created a sensation in musical cir
cles, although there is still consider
able skepticism on the question wheth
er she has decided to end her operatic
career. The Gil Bias calls attention to
the fact that she has signed a con
tract to create the leading role in
"Mary Magdalena" at the Opera
Comique in March.
TWO DAYS TO A TOWN.
Topeka's Scouts Leave for Texas on

ulated as to the method which will be
followed in making the investigation.

can be secured will be brought back.
But through the medium of personally
meeting the various officials and seeing
the working of their departments to
gether with interviews with prominent
business men the desired information
it is expected can be procured. Two
days will be spent in each town.

Standard Director Arrested.
Findlay, O., Nov. 19. H. P. Mcintosh
i of Cleveland, a director of the Standard
Oil company, of Ohio, one of the men
indicted by the grand jury last week,
arrived here today and was formally

Boston. Nov. 19. Mary Elizabeth
Lease, the ex-Kansas political agita
tor, now a lecturer for the board of ed
ucation of New York city. Is out with
a signed article in a local publication.
In which she abjectly deplores a Epeech
of "flippant derision" which she owns
to have perpetrated several years ago
on Christian Science before an annual
banquet of the Medico Legal society of
the city of New York.
"I desire publicly to retract." says
Mrs. Lease, "and publicly express my
profound humility and regret for the
statements. or misstatements: for
whereas I was then woefully blind, now
I see."
The last time Mrs. Lease is remem
bered to have broken prominently into
the public prints was two years ago
upon the occasion of a visit from a gen
tleman burglar to her fiat in New York
city. The Kansas Amazon held the
burglar by main force until the police
called, on the telephone by her niece,
arrived. ...
Says Mrs. Lease:
'.'When I remember all that this con
secrated woman'' has' done for me, all
that-shcTias- suffered ;and uncomplain
ingly endured that she might bestow
uopn-me, upon all the chirafen of men,
the liberty of the 'sons of God," I am
overwhelmed tvith shame " that 1
should ever have dared to criticise thi?
blameless life. '
"For the freedom which is ours she
has paid a great price. Sneered and
jeered at by the enemies of truth, mis
represented on every hand, the mark
of the world's - hatred and senseless
ridicule, she moved out alone, stead
fastly, though with bleeding feet,
climbing that upward, lonely road
which only the ' immortals tread. She
did not offer us the untried, hasty re
sult of her mental research, but toiled
in the Master's vineyard till the shad
ows of evening fell, that she mighi
gratuitously bestow upon the world
the well ripened, well tested fruit oi
the white years of her unblemished
life.
"She returned blessing for male
diction, smiles for sarcasm, liberty for
slavery, and gave us the positive know
ledge of the ever-preeence of infinite,
divine love, to drive forever from the
hearts of men the horrid specters of
fear and superstition specters which
she has taught us are but the shadows
of a false sense of being. She has si
lenced all the doubts and dogmas of
the centuries, driven error into its last
hiding place the stronghold of igno
rance filled the measure of human
life with purer purpose, deeper, sweet
er meaning, and led us into the realiza
tion that there is no love but Divine
love, and that (5od, good, alone can fill
the consciousness with peace unsur
passed and joy everlasting.
"She has so lived, so ordered her
every thought and act that, conscious
ly or unconsciously to human sense,
she is being borne out upon a current
of Divine power that moves always to
ward the great deeps, where the tides
that set toward the Almighty are full
and strong."
D. O. COG IX A KLXAWAY.
Thrown Out on Pavement and His
Son Stopped the Horse.
D. O. Coe, the grain dealer, and his
son Harry, narrowly escaped serious
injury Saturday night while driving
from the store to their home in Pot
win. While driving along West Tenth
avenue at a lively clip, one of the bug

slow freight in Arkansas. Mr. Coe was
thrown from the buggy when it struck
a protuberance on the pavement, but
the son stayed with the procession and
finally stopped the horse after a mile
run. Mr. Coe was slightly bruised by
his fall.
