THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J OUENAIr FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1907.
LOOKS LIKE GRAFT.
Claimed City Was Overcharged $3,000
fe Paving Intersections.
Paring graft jn addition to sewer
graft is now laid at the door of the
city's, farmer engineering- force. of
whleh James McCabe, was city engin
eer, and W:B. King", assistant, by city
bffieia'ls-. Excess charges for brick
raving but tlewri between the years
981 and 190T amounting to J3.090 Is
the charge of graft-.
IS B-. rerinlngt, City attorneyi who
was active In the. Investigation sur
rounding the Charges of misconstruc
tion ef the Fifth ward sewer, has been
it work cheeking' over the.paving from
1901 and ujrt td 190T-. The plans for
the pavirtf have been examined, the
fcpeclfieatienS secured and a number
tf measurements taKen wiimn ine jmsi
three weefct Aft engineer will be en
gaged by the mayor to cheek over all
rf the pavements which are Involved
In the chargest
The hewS leaked out today through
the ufrtee majror that an Investiga
tion was 8 foot and Mf; Drennlng did
hnt ftan -herl itsWed. "We have been
going ovef this for about four weeks
row and from what we can determine
about 1,090 yards of extra work which
was hever put down was allowed con
tractors last yea is It has been getting
. worse and worse from one year to the
.'ext seemingly. Starting in with 1901
everything appears to be correct and
'from that date down to l90t the extra
'xrork increased.' said Mr, Drennlng.
The city engineer In preparing estl-
mates for paving, first prepares his
plans, snowing tne aimensions, tiav
! fng this he computes the yardage from
-the set of plans and bases the estimate
upon the yardage. The contractor
than ftuhmtts a bid based on the estl
i mate. The contractor upon securing
'his contract commences paving. The
nmount of the paving Is measured as
the work progresses and upon the
' completion of the contract. The actual
; yardage often varies considerably from
th estimate because of changes in
; plans and also in variation of actual
conditions.
When the plans are changed the ad
: rfttlonal paving If paid for under the
'head of extra work.
The claim of graft Is based on the
llast two conditions on a variation In
ithe actual measurements and extra
; work.
It Is charged by the city attorney
that a number of street Intersections
easure lessi than the revised figures of
' the engineer show and on which he
based his payments to the contractors.
Instances where excessive yardage Is
purposed to exist are:
150 square yards at Lane and Eighth,
410 square yards at Twelfth and Clay.
It Is claimed also that Western ave
nue paving shows evidences of juggling.
The paving on West Tenth avenue was
checked up and found correct.
The Intersection of Seventh and Jef
ferson streets. is another place cited
for irregularities.

HAS BEEN A GOOD THING.
Lbor Delegates Say Boise Trial Has
Cemented Bonds of Union.
Denver. June 21. Duncan McDon
old and Frank Farrington, messen
gers from the United Mine Workers of
Illinois, addressed the convention of
the Western Federation of Miners to
day. The opinion expressed by Mr.
McDonald that the arraignment of the
federation officials at Boise had done
more to consolidate and organize the
wage workers of the country than any
combination of circumstances in times
past was applauded. He stated that
labor unions should establish great
dallv papers and that unfair reports
of the Boise trial will probably result
In three Chicago papers being placed
on the unfair list. A vote of thanks
was given tho visitors by the conven
tion. Injunction Suits Filed.
Petitions for injunctions have been
filed In district court against the prop
erty of Robert Kneisler. on East First
street, and Archie Bailey and Benja
min Jordan on West B street In North
Topeka. Jordan and Bailey are old of
fenders, and Kneisler was recently ar
rested and convicted In police court.
The petitions were filed by County At
torney J. J. Schenck. and are the first
Injunctions of the kind to be asked for
under this administration.
UP TO VAN HORN.
'Continued from Page One.)
While standing In front of the barber
shop and this was about 7:30 o'clock
In the morning he saw his hack at
the watering trough north of the Union
Pacific station. Van Horn was on the
box and another man, whom Bechtel
heimer did not recognize, was on the
box with him. He drove from the
oaroer shop to his home before driving
out In the country with his relatives
on a nine mile trip and said that when
he got there Van Horo was standing
In the doorway or the barn. He ask
ed how much money he had taken In
during the night and Van Horn replied
that It was one dollar: Bechtelheimer
told him to keep the money and have
a new window light put In the hack.
He said that this was all the conver
sation he had had with Van Horn on
that occasion and did not know wheth
er or not there was anj1 one else In the
barn with him at the times
Replying to questions from Mr,
Schenck, Mr, Bechtelheimer em
phatically denied that he had been on
the south side of the city on Wednes
day morning,
Frank Summers, a policeman, took
the stand later on In the Inquiry and
testified that he was on duty on lower
Kansas avenue from 7 o'clock on
Wednesday morning, He said that he
knew Van Horn. Rabbit Morkinson
and Bechtelheimer, He declared that
shortlv after T o'clock he saw Van
Horn dlrvlng a hack north on the
aveinue and that the Rabbit was on
the box seat with him. He said that
there was a man. bareheaded, wearing
a blue shirt and smoking a cigar in
side the hack and he was positive that
this man was Bechtelheimer, whom
he said he knew well.
Bechtelheimer was recalled to the
stand by one of the Jurors and he was
questioned again. He insisted that the
policeman must be mistaken because
he could prove that he had not been
on the south side of the city from
Tuesday afternoon until yesterday.
Henry Cowan's Story.
Henry Cowan, for whom Morkinson
worked as a peddler, told about the
same story that he did yesterday but
with some important additions. H-j
testified to paying Morkinson 8, the
money that was due him on Tuesday
night when Morkinson told him that he
was going away, He said it was Mork
lnson's custom to carry a pocketbook
and that a couple of weeks before, Van
Horn drove up to him and Morkinson,
who were Belling bananas on the corner
of Sixth and Qulncy streets and . told
Morkinson that he knew where theie
was a fresh one on tap. Morkinson
pulled out his pocketbook, displayed a
number of bills, probably $50 and said
to Van Horn, "I've cut out drinking
altogether and I've decided to work for
Rabbit now." Van Horn then drove
away. Cowan said that he started In to
look for Morkinson to get him to go to
work on Wednesday morning and had
come across many persons who had
seen him driving towards ..orth Topeka
with Van Horn.
Cowan's statement that It was always
Morklnson's custom to carry a pocket
book for his "soft" money Is important
because no pocket book was found in
Morkinson s clothes.
John Wagner, a hackman, who rode
over to North Topeka in the hack with
Van Horn and Morkinson on Wednes
day morning told his story Just the
same as he did on yesterday. He got 1
in the hack in front of Dick Johnson's
place and was let out near Jenkins' barn
on North Qulncy street. He said that
Van Horn and Morkinson continued to
drive north and he supposed that they
were going on to Bechtelhelmers barn.
William Donovan, Elmer Krone, Frank
King and others testified to seeing
Morkinson and Van Horn on the back
bound for North Topeka early on
Wednesday morning. Each of them fix
ed a different time ' between six and
eight o'clock as to when they saw the
hack going north- on the avenue. And
It Is the opinion of the authorities that
Van Horn and Morkinson possibly
made two trips to North Topeka on that
morning.
Dr. O. A. Bandel. who performed the
autopsy on Morklnson's body, describ
ed the wounds he found in the head and
Identified the two bullets he took from
the head. He told of finding the frac
ture in the skull posterior to the bul
let wounds and believed that the blow
which made it was delivered shortly
before the shots were- fired Into the
head. He expressed the opinion tnat
Morkinson' death had been caused by
one of the bullets which went straight
through the brain. He did not think
that the fracture of the skull would
have caused instant death, although it
probably would have produced uncon
sciousness. Frank Norvllle. .Undertaker Conwell s
assistant, told of going after the body
and bringing It back to the undertaK
lng rooms.
Morklnson's Body Taken Home.
William Morkinson, the father of the
murdered man, arrived here early this
morning from the family home at
Hope, Dickinson county, Kan. He took
his son's body back home on the 1:30
Rock Island train this afternoon. Mr.
Morkinson was pretty well broken up
over the unfortunate end of his son.
He spoke In the highest terms of him
and said that it was his custom to send
his mother J5 a week from wherever he I
was working.
RAIN IN SPOTS.
Peculiar Weather Conditions in This
Vicinity.
Peculiar weather conditions prevail
over nearly the entire state at this
time. In Topeka there have been nu
merous showers during the past 24
hours, the total precipitation amount
ing to .19 of an inch. Late last even
ing this section was visited by a light
shower and several times this morning
drizzling showers have prevailed for a
few moments. Just before noon a
heavy fall of rain occurred In the
central portion of the city.
Clouds have prevailed all day and
there has been but little sunshine and
apparently showers have fallen over
different parts of the county, though
each separate shower has covered but
a small area. The Indications are that
fair and warmer weather will prevail
Saturday and Sunday with the possi
bilities of the occurrence of ferquent
thunder showers.
The following are the temperatures
for today:
7 o'clock ..67111 o'clock' 70
8 o'clock 66112 o'clock 73
9 o'clock 67! 1 o'clock 73
10 o'clock 67 2 o'clock 73
Dr. McCllntock Is Better.
The condition of Dr. J. C. McClln
tock. who has been sick at his home,
1313 Fillmore 6treet, for a week past
from a malarial trouble, is much Im
proved today and hopes are enter
tained for an Immediate recovery. He
suffered a sinking spell yesterday and
for some time serious complications
were feared though he rallied during
the evening and night until at the
present time his condition is more
favorable than it has been for several
days. 1
OYER FIVE THOUSAND.
Washburn Fund Gets Anotllef Big
Boost Today;', ;
The funds which have been sub
scribed for the benefit of Washburn
college now reach the high mark of
$58,793. Of this amount $5,246 was
received today and the prospects of
getting $75,000 before July 1; how
look better than ever. The physicians
of the city have beguri to add their
subscriptions to the Washburn fund
which"iells why the fund was so
largely increased yesterday:
The movement to have the different
stores of the city donate ten per cent
of their receipts next Friday to the
cause of Washburn is meeting with
success. Already several merchants
of the city have signified their inten
tion of making next Friday a Wash
burn Day: The firms which have so
far agreed to give ten per Cent of
their gross earnings to Washburn are
as follows: Crosby Bros., Palace
Clothing Co., Mills Dry" Goods Co.,
Warren M. Crosby, Robinson-Marshall
& Co., William Green & Sons,
O. M. Hill, F, W, Swearlngen, H: B.
Howard, E. W, Hughes, Antiseptic
Barber shop, L. S. Woolverton, Mrs.
Hiram Hulse, Sim Drug Company, B.
F. Abmes'er. These names do not rep
resent all that will give ten per cent
to the Washburn fund but are merely
the names of a few who have been
seen In a short time. Others will help
the fund along as well as those whose
names have been mentioned.
Another movement which will
bring results Is a movement among
the women of the city headed by Mrs.
Margart Hill McCarter. A number of
the prominent women of the city met
at the Copeland hotel this afternoon.
where plans for an active canvass
were discussed and several women are
now among the canvassers for the
fund.
For next week additional canvassers
from among the business men of the
city will be secured! to help In
the canvass. A little over eight
een thousand dollars is all that
remains to be Secured ' and
several more canvassers should have no
difficulty in making the required sum
by next Saturday.
Following a statement of the canvass
thus far!

He Is Fined $50 and Wears Prison
"Jewelry."
"Pie" Jordan, the notorolus petit
larceny expert, who escaped from the
city Jail Wednesday afternoon. Is again
in durance vile. There Is as strong
belief that "Pie" will remain in dur
ance for a time at least, as he wears
the "jewelry," a chain fastened to his
motive equipment by means of pad
locks. When "Pie" escaped, bold policemen
ran hither and thither, but "Pie" ran
thitherward only, and soon distanced
his pursuers. This morning he stole
a five gallon can of gasoline from In
front of the Staples grocery store. A
few minutes later Officer Bryant saw
"Pie" In the offlng. sneaked up and
captured him. Before reaching the
jail, however, "Pie" gave an exhibition
of hot-foot, whereupon the officer
fired three shots and pursued. Officer
Summers heard the commotion, and
assisted in heading "Pie" Into an alley.
To add Insult to injury. "Pie" was
taken Into police court and fined $50
for stealing the can of gasoline. He
wept, and quoted law and scripture to
the court. ,

Thousands Witness Commencement
Exercises et K. S. A. C.
Manhattan, Kan., June 21. After
nearly 3,000 people had been admitted
to the auditorium to witness the final
exercises of commencement at the
State Agricultural college Thursday,
guards were placed at the doors to
prevent the building from being
crowded to suffocation, and hundreds
who came from a distance had to be
satisfied with a stroll about the cam
pus during the programme.
The annual address was delivered by
Prof. John Hamilton, farmers' Institute
specialist of the department of agri
culture at Washington, D. C. His re
marks were confined wholly to the
subject of agriculture and he gave
good wholesome advice to the farmers.
One hundred and twenty diplomas
were granted.
