THE KANSAS CITY JOURNAL. FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1899.
AN OFFICER'S RIGHTS
IS HE EXTITXED TO A nCAIUXG BE
FORE dismissal;
Case of the Five Policemen 'Who
Were Dismissed From tbc Serv
ice In 1890 Argued Before
the Court of Appeals.
May a policeman be discharged without
a hearing? This question, of great Inter
est to bluecoats in every city in the United
States 'with a charter similar to Kansas
City's, was carefully argued in the court
of appeals yesterday. "William Wallace,
representing live policemen who were dis
charged by Police Commissioners Davis,
Fyke and Johnson, August 22, 1S3S, .con
tended that they might not be discharged
without a hearing. City Counselor Mid
dlebrook, representing the city and the
commissioners, contended that they might.
The cate Is one of long standing. It had
several hearings in the circuit court, final
ly coming to the court of appeals' on an
appeal from a decision of Judge Gates in
favor of the policemen.
On May 4, 1S35, AV. H. Goodnow, Samuel
G. Smith, C. L. Knight, Jerry Hogan and
J. T. Wachs were appointed to positions
on the police force. Under a reorganiza
tion of the force, more than a year later,
they were discharged. They demanded re
instatement and back pay September 10,
1837.
Each officer sued for eleven months' back
salary at 170 a month. Judge Gates de
cided, in granting permanent writs of
mandamus against the police commission
ers, that the live men were entitled to
back pay at the rate of $70 a month, minus
the amount each had earned since leaving
the force. This left the following amounts
due:
Gooflnow JSM.S0
Knight 5S1.19
Hogan 6M5.25
"VVachs 713.00
Smith 7C6.00
In arguing the case, Mr. MIddlebrook
said that without this power of dli-charge
the police force would be a privileged class
of titled personages not tolerated this side
of England or France. Ho said to the
court in his brief:
"It is very much to be hoped that no
rule of law will be promulgated by the
court which will necessitate the retention
of every officer on the police force against
whom no charges are preferred. Such a
doctrine of law, if applied, would neces
sitate the retention, indefinitely, of all
who are fortunate enough to get appointed
and whose general conduct is not attended
with any glaring acts of insubordination
or Inefficiency of such a character as to
Justify a formal complaint. Such decision
would not only deprive the board of one
of the specific powers granted to It for
the public good, but would also assert a
eort of title to office and create a privileged
class, which it has always been the aim
and Intent of our institutions to prohibit
and suppress."
On the other hand. Mr. "Wallace claimed
that It was a well settled prlnciplo that
a hearing must precede a dismlsal. Judge
Dillon, he said, had laid It down that an
officer must be notified of the charge
against him and be given time to prepare
for a hearing.
"Why. I read a decision of an old Penn
sylvania judge," exclaimed Mr. Wallace,
"who said that the rule of giving a hear
ing was so universal and so ancient that
even God Almighty gave Adam and Eve
a chance to explain before he banished
them from the Garden of Eden."
He said also that the point had been
decided by Judge Sherwood, of the Mis
fcourl supremo court, in the Valllns con
troversy. DR. F. L FLANDERS SUED.
Mrs. K. Bonder Alleges That He Kept
Ten Dollars Rent Money
Dne Her.
Dr. F. I. Flanders was defendant in a
suit before Justice Jenney yesterday to re
cover J273. The plaintiff, Mrs. K. Bossier,
eaid that she had rented apartments at 1112
Grand avenue of Dr. Flanders, paying J10
down, but that soon after he, having an
opportunity to rent the rooms for a better
price, had taken another tenant, but re
fused to return her money. Mrs. Bossier
sued to recover the $10 and for $263 damaged
to cover Jhe cost or furnishings she had
got for the rooms and the expense of pre
paring to move and the disappointment and
inconvenience arising from her disappoint
ment. Justice Jenney took the case under
advisement.
HE FEARED THE "DOPE."
TV. A. Kellnsir Wants to Star In Jail
to Keep Away From
Morphine.
The rather unusual Incident of a man
charged with theft seeking a postponement
of his trial, although he had to remain In
Jail meanwhile, occurred yesterday In Jus
tice Jenney's court. The case was that
of W. A. Kellogg, charged with stealing
i-ome medical books from Dr. J. W. Sherer,
and in whoo capture Assistant Police
Surgeon Mannhan figured with a clever
bit of detective work. Kellogg claimed he
was a user of morphine and didn't know
what he was doing at the time, being under
the influence of the drug. He said he
wanted to stay in jail awhile where he was
safe from any more such trouble.

ON THE MARKET.
Bad Weather and Roads Make Lack
of Home Grovrn Produce and
Prices Rule High.
Contlnnd bad weather has had the effect
of depriving the market of much home
grown produce. The country roads are well
nigh impassable and It is an urgent call
that brings the farmer to town these days.
On this account, all dressed poultry is
scarce. There are no more wild ducks on
the market because of the game law. All
kinds of dressed poultry is scarce and
higher. Spring chickens sell for 23 cents
per pound, hens sell for 11 cents per pound,
domestic ducks sell for 12',-i cents per pound.
Hen turkeys are very scarce and retail at
20 cents per pound. There, are a few jack
snipes on the market at 13 cents a piece.
The price of eggs is still 15 cents per
dozen, two dozen for 23 cents. A few fresh
eggs are coming in. Country butter of good
quality Is very scarce and brings the same
price as creamery butter, 23 cents. For
the trade which demands "country but
ter" at 15 and 20 cents per pound, there Is
a quality that can be sold for that price,
but It will be found a trifle strong. There
will be no country butter of prime quality
on the market until after green grass
comes.
Considering the backwardness of the rea
son, there is a fair selection of vegetables
on the market. Cauliflower sells for 15 to
23 cents per head, according to size and
quality. Asparagus sells for 23 cents pet
pound, green peas sell for 15 cents per
quart, string beans sell for 15 cents per
quart, lettuce sells for 5 cents per head and
strawberries sell for from 15 to 30 cents
per quart, according to quality. Mushrooms
sell for 50 cents per pound and cucumbers
are selling at 23 cents apiece.
There is a plentiful fish market, but with
little change in price. Black bass Is 20
cents a pound, two pounds for 33 cents:
green lake trout is 15 cents a pound, shad
Is on the market at from 50 to 75 cent
apiece. Labrador herring brings 20 cents
per pound and eels sell for 15 cents per
pound. Smelts are nearly out of season
and there are few on the market. Oysters
are also beginning to come scarce.
The Xtw Cup Defender.
The new cup defender now being built Is
expected to be the most remarkable vessel
ever turned out. Its construction has been
kept a profound secret, but It is whispered
that It will easily hold the cup. America
is rapidly coming to the front. A good
example of this is her famous household
remedy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which has defended health for half a cen
tury. In spite of many imitations, no
other remedy has been able to supplant it.
It holds the championship for the defeat of
all stomach Ills, such as indigestion, con
stipation, nervousness, biliousness, liver
and kidney troubles. It is also an excel
lent preventive and cure of malaria and
fever and ague. It is strongly recommend
ed to everyone at this time of the year.

SPREAD OF SMALLPOX
THOMAS "WOODS, OF KANSAS CITY,
KAS HAD MANY VISITORS.
Has Been Sick "With the Dread Dis
ease Since Friday and Scores of
His Neighbors Have Been
Exposed.
A case of smallpox was located In Kan
sas City, Kas., yesterday by Assistant City
Physician Lapp that may result In a spread
of the disease unless extraordinary meas
ures of precaution are taken. The patient
is Thomas Woods, colored, who lives at 18
Ewlng street. He has been sick since last
Friday, and in that time scores of his
neighbors have been in and out of the
house and exposed to the disease. When
Dr. Lapp called yesterday afternoon he
found In the house, besides the sick man,
five other persons Mary Woods, David
Tines, Bell Huff, Albert Smith and Aman
da Smith, all colored.
When told that Woods was sick with
smallpox there was a general rush for the
door, and they were only prevented from
escaping by the doctor Interposing his body
as a barricade and threatening arrest to
any person who attempted to leave the
house. He notified the health department
at Kansas City, Kas., but was compelled
to leave the house unguarded in order to
do so. and in his absence several of those
present made their escape. It is believed
to be only a question of time when others
in the neighborhood will develop "symp
toms of the distTise. This case is located
only three blocks from the residence at
915 Bell street, where a case was discov
ered last week.
GEORGE SCULLY RELEASED.
Notorious Snen.lt Thief Given Liberty
and Transportation Oat of
the City.
George Scully, better known to the police
of all the larger Western cities as "Scully,
the Robber," was pardoned from the work
house yesterday morning and provided with
transportation to Chicago. Scully and his
wife, Annie Scully, were arrested in this
city last July and were sentenced to the
workhouse for one year for vagrancy. Two
months later Annie Scully was released
on her promise to leave town and never
return. Scully had served about nine
montns in tne wornnouse. lie is a no
torious sneak thief and burglar and has
operated in every large city in the coun
try. The superintendent of police at Chi
cago has been notified of his release by the
aumoruies nere.
William Kane, another man with a. bad
record, was discharged from the work
house yesterday along with Scully, and
was proviaea wiin transportation to Chi
cago. Kane was sent to the workhouse for
one year for vagrancy, on January 26. He

ton and Frank McMlnimus, soon after the
arrival here of the trio from St. Louis.
WILSON HADjfGRIEVANCE.
"Stepladder George" Registered Vig
orous Objection to the Bntter
ing Up of His "Growler."
George Wilson, better known to the po
lice as "Stepladder" Wilson, was in the
police court yesterday morning with a
grievance. He strolled Into the court
room while court was in session, carrying
a badly battered up tin pail.
"See here," said the old man, as he held
the pall up to the gaze of Judge Burn
ham, "some person tried to smash my
growler and I want a warrant for him. If
things have come to such a pass In this
town that a law abiding citizen cannot
rush the growler whenever he feels like it,
I want to know it."
Then "Stepladder" Wilson rattled the
battered pall in the face of the court offi
cers and turned about and strolled out of
the courtroom. It was the first time In
his life that he had ever appeared In court
without being charged with stealing step
ladders and the court officers were so sur
prised that the did not recover from their
astonishment until he had come and gone.

SHORT.
A home-keeping friend of mine and I
took lunch together the other day. He had
never been out of the state of Ohio, while
I was just back from three years' residence
and travel In India. "Now," said my in
nocent companion as he sipped his coffee,
"we have half an hour yet before us; sup
pose you tell me all about India. You talk
and I'll ifcten."
An attack of lockjaw could not have shut
off my speech more completely. At last I
managed to articulate: "Excuse me; It's
too big a subject. Come to me some time
when we can both spare an entire month,
and I'll invest the whole of It In telling you
a part of what little I know about India."
And yet I am confronted this blessed mo
ment with a task even more puzzling and
complicated to tell all about the human
liver. Nothing could be better, if it were
possible. But it isn't; not at one 6itting.
So I will turn this man's letter over to you
exactly as he wrote it, and perhaps venture
a word or two at the end.

KICK!
That's exactly what we want you to do when you get anything
here that isn't just what you supposed it was when you bought
it, or that don't wear as it should after you have worn it long
enough to tell. We want you to be satisfied want you to feel
that you can come here and buy goods with confidence. Some
men don't believe we sell as good a hat for Sl.50 as we say we
do we know they don't because they don't come here and buy
their hats but just the same we do sell just as good a hat
for one dollar and fifty cents as you can buy in any other store
in town for a dollar more. "We have no way to convince you
of it unless you buy one and then we make you this proposi
tion "get your money's worth" if your hat don't give you
as much wear don't look as well when you've worn it six
months or a year as any hat you ever bought for 2.50 we'll
keep on giving you hats until you're satisfied that you've had
your money's worth and a dollar's worth more. We know
our hats know that they'll stand the test and we want every
man in Kansas City's territory to know it a dollar and a half's
worth, and if one happens to go back on you it's a mistake
and we want you to KICK.
