Indictments found recently by the United States grand jury in session here, charge Edward Rousell of Lawrence with an insurance fraud practiced on the Fraternal Aid association.

The writ for Rousell's arrest has been Issued'and has been placed in the hands of the United States marshal to be served upon Rousell. The fraud practiced by Rousell was a bold-faced one and played so ccolly that it was only after a vigorous investigation that the fraud was discovered. As general secretary of the F. A. A.

he proposed to Peoria Council No. 251, of Peoria, the name of one James "vV. Richey, and, although unknown and unseen by all members of the association, Richey was duly installed as a member. It has been ascertained and was in It was in evidence before the grand Jury that Richey was a former friend of Rousell who died and was burijd in Colorado several years ago. Richey was represented by Rousell to be a St.

The Senior Senator Concisely Defines His Position--Discourages Factional Fights and Counsels Harmony. The newspapers yesterday were filled with reports of the open breach said to have occurrd Senator Baker and Cy Leland.

A Times representatives called at the residence of Senator Baker last night and the following1 conversation ensued: "Did you see the article in the Kansas City Star of this evening- purporting to be an account of a row between you and Mr. Leland?" "Yes, I read it, and up to thl3 time there ihas never been an unkind -wara' between Mr. Leland myself. What may occur later on noibody of course knows. "I propose to stand by the recommendations for federal places I have made to the end.

It is quite probable that an effort may be made to induce the president not to appoint some persons I have recommenced for federal positions. "I hope, however, that upon further consideration no effort will be made to defeat the persons recommended. "In making these recommendations I tried to do the best I could in the interest of harmony and the interest of the entire party. "I have also read the article in the Topeka State Journal. "It surmises a great many things.

There has been no row between Mr. Leland and myself up to this date although we have differed on some things heretofore. "If there is any organized to defeat Mr. Sterne's appointment by any faction in the state of Kansas1 it will be unwis and such action shoul 1 be discouraged. "The republican party can carry the state of Kansas in 1898 if we avoid factional fights among ourselves, and ev ery republican who is interested in the success of the republican party and the welfare of the state should see that controversies over official positions in the state Jeopardizing the welfare of the party are ended.

"We must gain votes, not lose them. "The republican papers of the- state, lhaving the welfare, of the party at 'heart, ought to discourage factional fights "within the party." WHAT PAPERS ARE SAYING. The following is the article printed In tViA TflnoVfl. SJt-lto loot niixVit alleging an open breach between Cy Leland and Senator Baker, and which Senator Baker says is absolutely inaccurate: A very interesting: conversation took place between Senator Baker and Mr. Cyrus Leland last night at the Copeland hotel, in Mr.

Baker's room, which throws much light on the fight on Senator Sterne for the United States marshalship. In the conversation at the Copeland last night Mr. Leland started out by saying that alter vi6iting tne ieavenworm reunion rie had met several of his supporters at Kansas City, and afterwards a general conference was held In Topeka. He said the political situation had been thoroughly discussed, and especially the federal positions yet to be filled. He stated that the men who attended the conference in Topeka had controlled the republican politics of the state for years and expected to do so in the future.

That they had determined to Btand or fall together.That they had requested him to inform Mr. Baker of their conclusions and hoped he would conform his actions hereafter, to their wishes unless a good reason could be given to do otherwise, and that their plan had been for several years to build up a controlling organization within the republican party and that they had been successful. That they would gladly consider the senator a working member of their close organization, but he could only become so by working in harmony with them. Senator Baker said, before giving a definite answer to so startling a proposition, he would like to know the result of their re- cent conference in eo far as it applied to his recommendations for the principal federal of- fleers. Mr.

Leland said they had thoroughly discussed his (Baker's) slate announced last Jine, and with three exceptions it was unsatisfactory. That the appointment of Mr. Sutton, which had already been made, was very obnoxious, but that could not be changed. That they had defeated the appointment of Col. Tilton in spite of the' senator's recommendation and newspaper support.whieh was very gratifying.

That they demanded without any equivocation or concealment a pledge be given that Senator Sterne be not recommended for marshal and that Tom Scates be not recommended for register of the land office at Dodge City, and that he substitute Crura for Sterne and Fitzgerald for Scates, and that they would consider the other appointments at a meeting to be hold in the near future. Mr. Baker asked him who the men were that had attended the conference. Mr. Leland replied that they were Morton Albaugh, Jim Simpson, C.

S. Jobes, and they would have the co-operation of Frank Brown, Joe Bristow and Jim Dob-ton. Mr. Baker then got up and walked up and down the room eeveral times with his hands behind his back and his head bowed, and finally stopped before Leland, and his eyes cold and determined and his face paler than upual, looking down at him, replied: "Mr. Leland, the people of Kansas placed a grave responsibility upon me when they elected mo senator.

I have tried to fill the trust confided to me with honor and fidelity. I have been anxious to strengthen and unite the republican party in Kansas. I have earnestly refrained from considering factions and have only thought of my party associates as republicans. I have done some things I hated to do but I thought they would tend to promote party unity. I have consulted with many' republicans In Kansas because I did not want to be considered as using the prerogatives of my office arbitrarily or to advance my personal Interests.

Some people have attributed my caution cowardice, and I have silently submitted to these unjust accusations In the hope through my sacrifice I could unite the republicans of Kansas into a harmonious whole. I am now led to believe that I have got to surrender to the humiliation of bowing down to. the dictation of a small faction In my party or incur their displeasure and probable open hostility. Such belne tbf case I have only one reply to make and that ping him he was willing to be sacrificed and would be as true to me and the party as ever. I decided to recommend Mr.

Scates after mature and careful deliberation. I wHl not abandon these men. I will urge the president to appoint them. This decision is final and Irrevocable." Mr. Leland, livid with rage, but with downcast and averted eyes, then declared that he would take the fight before the president.

He said he had already set on foot a plan to get bis friends to write direct to the president to protest against Sterne's appointment and he would carry on the fight more bit-etrly than ever; and he didn't give a who it involved, or whether it disrupted the republican party or not. WILL DOWN THE GANG. COUNTRY VOTERS WILL DEFEAT ATWOOD'S RING TICKET. The republican committee met yesterday afternoon with twenty-eight of the thirty-two members present, making it one of the best attended committee meetings ever held the county. Reports' of committeemen were made from the various townships and they were all of the most encouraging kind.

The committeemen reported that the county republicans were united and that most of the populists and a number of democrats would vote for Charles H. Miller for sheriff and other candidates on the republican ticket. The high-handed action of the Atwood ring In fixing up a slate for the big offices and offering the populists coroner and surveyor left a bitter feeling and it is proposed to teach the gang a lesson. The outrageous treatment accorded Frank Spencer has stirred his many friends. Following the reports from townships plans for pushing the campaign from now on until election day were discussed, after which the committee adjourned to meet again next Saturday.

VISITING DOG WON. BOB, THE LOCAL BRUTE, VANQUISHED BY A STRANGER. Jim Wady's Rowdy, a grisly fighter, won the dog fight from Pat Fitzsim-mons' Bob last night at a well-known resort on Cherokee street. Long before 12 o'clock, the hour announced for the fight, a gathering of sports was on hand to lend color and add enthusiasm to the scene. The crowd was augmented by the acquisition of many other "dead games," and at 12 o'clock, when the battle was on, every improvised seat on hand was taken and standing room was taxed to its utmost capacity.

Little time was wasted in preliminary arrangements and the appearance of Pat and Jim Wady, in be half of respective protoges, was ac cepted as a signal that hostilities were on. Bob, the local canine, had all the best of it in weight, and an analytical comparison of the proportions of the two brutes indicated that the foreign dog was cinched as a loser. What Row dy lacked in weight and belligerent ap pearance he more than made up in sterling fighting qualities, and after the first minute of play it was evident that he had more than an equal show. From that time on the local sports. who had backed their judgment with "silverlna's," realized that they had the wrong end of it, and as the fight progressed, with Rowdy literally chewing his adversary's mug into ribbons, the look of confidence that had characterlz ed their looks was superseded by a look of black despair.

They were game to the last and were playing themselves for short and favor ites, when the proprietor of Bob threw up the sponge. Bob was considerably the worse for wear and the Kansas City brute ap peared as fresh as a daisy nd bore no visible signs of punishment. The Kan sas City dog is considered a "comer' by all the fraternity who attended, as he displayed that tenacity so necessary to a successful career in the ring. POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS THE DOCKET A.T THE POLICE COURT TESTE ft I AT. The police docket 's slowly recovering from the relapse that overtook it since the reunion.

Curtis Van Winkle, the walking clo thing establishment pinc'ned by Detec tive Brady, was sentenced to ten days on the rock pile yosierdar morning. It is thought that by the time the sen tence expires some definite knowledge regarding the clotaiirr will be in posses sion of the police. Lee Snowden, jailed for 'eiug a vag, was fined $15 and remanded to jail unti the fine is worked out. May Snow, a companion of Snowden forfeited a $3 bond for being an inmate of a house of ill fame. Joseph Pogue, a plain drunk, was fined $5 for his debauch.

Henry Elliott, charged with drunkenness and disturbing the peace sent to jail and his case continued ui il Oc tober 22. The notorious Lulu Jefferson was ex honerated from teh charge of street walking. PROGRESSIVES METHODS WIN. Seller, the progressive tailor, has made a move which will increase his facilities materially. He has rented the rooms over his establishment at 409 Delaware and will immediately install such conveniences as appertain to ar first class, tailoring emporium.

He will employ a large force of additional tailors and will continue in the future, by turning out the most serviceable suits possible to "tailordom," to deserve the patronage of swell dressers. HAS MOVED. David Savage has mJved to 1M Delaware, where he will be pleased to meet all his friends in the future. H- will carry a firstclass line of refreshments, etc. SOMETHING TO KNOW.

Lawrence. RELEASED FROM PRISON7 WAS A WINNER IN THE GAME OF CRAPS. A young colored boy was released ho state penitentiary by exercise of from the right of pardon yesterday. Governor Leedy pardoned George Jackson, a negro boy who has been in the penitentiary nearly three years under a sentence of ren years for robbery. Jackson, when 1G years old, was shooting ctsps with a white man at Osage City and wen 20 cents.

The white man picked up the money before Jackson could pocket it, whereupon the young negro pounced upon him and took the money away from him. He was found guilty of highway robbery. but the state board of pardons considered the Jury's verdict unwarranted and recom- ruendel a WANTS TO BE RELEASED. CONVICTS PROPOSE TO TEST AN UN TRIED LAW. Two of the convicts In the state peniten tiary have grown weary of the confining life in the prison and have begun legal proceedings looking to their release.

Notice was served on Governor Leedy, At torney General Boyle and W. E. Bush, secret rtate at Topeka yesterday that the state bad been EUPd in the district court of Cherokee county by John C. Blaloek and William C. Blaloek, who are confined in the penitentiary for murder, having been sent there on their own plea of guilty.

There is a statute which permits a con vict, when he has new evidence, to sue the state and secure his release for a new trial. It does not say where the suit shall be brought. Only one case the Marlon Asbell case has ever been brought under this law, and in that case the district judge of Labette coun ty decided that the law was unconstitutional. The supreme court has never decided whe ther the law can be enforced. PROMINENT SOCIETY EVENT Hiss Ruth Hetherington, of Atchison, entertained with a quilting party in honor of Miss Mabel Waggener, who is shortly to be married to Mr.

R. K. Smith, of Leavenworth, Friday afternoon. The guest of honor was surprised at the nature of the entertainment and pleased by the gift of a dainty blue silk coverlet to which each of her friend3 had sewed a tiny bow. A pleasing musioale followed, in which Miss Jessie Isabel, Miss Helen Smith, Mrs.

Gusie and Miss Mary Hetherington took part. Much amusement was caused at lunch by placing the brides, and supposed brides-to-be, at the head table. The suspected ones were not told of the scheme until they had been seated. They appropriately blushed, but no definite acknowledgments were made. NOT A TRANSIT PRIVILEGE.

The Missouri Pacific's position regarding grain business from the Central Branch and Nebraska extension, is that the grain 's merely stopped at Leavenworth and Atchison for the concentration of loads and for the economizing of equipment east and south of these points, and that this does not constitute a transit privilege and is therefore not in violation of the rules governing this traffic, as has been charged. The Missouri Pacific is willing to allow Atchison and Leavenworth to do the grain business which legitimately belongs to them. "Before a theatre can be opened for stage plays in Dublin," says J. E.
