The Mayor pro tempore, stating that
he regarded It hla duty as presiding
officer to do so, declared that Council
had unanimously adopted » resolution
in the new city code which prescribed
that u Police Commissioner was not
eligible to succeed himself. If. ss he
had been led to understand. It was de
sired to put In nomination for Police
Commissioner, a gentleman who would
succeed himself, he held that Coun U
would have to rescind its former unan
imous action declaring Police Commis
sioners should not succeed themselves.
Mr. Howard moved that the action
of Connell alluded to, or so much of It
sa declared lhat a Commissioner can
not succeed htmself, be rescinded.

He stated It to the effect that he knew
nothing of the complication until a few
minutes before Council convened. He
stood for Mr. J. C. Flynn in this elec

missioners Ineligible to succeed them

on ttle:
Arttnf City Attorney: “Complying
with your requurt thte afternoon ton

Mr, W. H. Barrett. City Attorney! to
' give you. a* Mayor, my opinion a* to
’ the eligibility of a Police Commlealon
er to aucceed hlmswlf. In view of th#
action of Council already, and I beg to
reply a* folio*-*: On September 6. IK9R.
a committee of council, among other
rhangp* neoemary to lie mode In con
nection with the adoption of the new
city code, reported concerning the Pp
ltee Commlaeloners a* follow*:
1. That the election should he held.
In January, and not In Oecember, aa
prescribed b act of the t-eglalature.
S. That « member “*hould not suc
ceed himself,” and thla report of the
committee of Council, was unanimous
ly adopted. In answering this question,
I say: (a). That the act creating the
Board of Police Commissioners, having
prescribed that the election should he
held upon the last Wednesday In De
cember, Council could not change the
time of election without an act of the
Legislature, sanctioning the same.
3 There la nothing In the legislative
acts as they now exist, that says
whether a member shall ov shall not
be eligible, to 'succeed’ himself; cer
tain other qualifications are prescribed,
but the question of 'succession’ is left
silent Council, therefore, by the
unanimous adoption of the report of
the committee, has put Itself on record
as‘being opposed . as a matter of pub
lic policy, to the eligibility of a Police
Commissioner to succeed himself. And
the only effect of the adoption of this
declared public policy upon the part, of
Council, by an act of the Legislature,
would have been, to prevent the city
'council from changing this declared
policy, except by an act of the Legis
lature.
i But the City Council Is. itself, a legis
lative body: and where there Is no act
of the Legislature declaring to the con
trary. the adoption of the report of a
committee becomes binding upon Coun
|dl until the adoption of the report Ir
I rescinded.
While therefore, the legislative acts

there wa# another attorney present,
and it might to well to hear from
hlra " „ .
(Mr. Iginge* referred to Mr. P. J.
Sullivan, who wa* among the audit
or*. > *
Mr. Howard—‘T am here to repre
sent my friend. We have here a rep
resentative attorney, a legal represen
tative from our aide, from our party. !
mov# (hat he be heard from.” Mr.
Howard moved that Mr. P. J. Sulli
van to heard from and there wa* ap
plause. Council voted to hear Mr. Sul
livan.
It was at this point that the misun
derstanding of the evening occurred.
Mr. Barrett explained that City At
torney Barrett was absent by leave.
Mr. Phtnlsy rorroboftited this, saying
that as Mr. Barrett’ and Mr. Carroll
were absent. Mr. Davidson was there
as ‘'my" repreaentatfve. Mr. Phlnlsy
meant this as the m&yor protempore’s
selection of attorney *fn the absence of
the city attorney. Mr. Howard accep
ted' the word "my" literally, and In
ferred that Mr. Davl'dson was present
us Mr. Jacob Phlnlsy‘s attorney. Mr.
Howard said: “Then he Is not the rep
resentative oT the city attorney? He is
here us your attorney!"
Then came confusion. Mr. Phlnlzy
insisted that no one should be m sled
—that he wanted to make It plain that,
as mayor pro tempore, he had secured
Mr. Davidson because Mr. Barrett and
Mr. Carroll were out of the city. Mr.
Howard humbly Insisted that he had
been misled. "Now,” he said, "1 have
my representative here. Let him be
heard.
There was further applause.
Tr. sullivan’s Opinion
Mr. Sullivan stated in substance,
that he appreciated bis embarrassment
In being called upon to pass upon a
law question so suddenly sprung and
without opportunity for investigation;
a£ the same time he thought he recog
nized the principle of law that govern
ed the question and that that principle
iof law being before his mind he
thought that the mistake made by his
1 friend Mr. Davidson was in assuming
j that the city council had any authority

NO DEATH penalty.
aovsrnor-EIPCt Stanley Will sl*« No
Death Warrant.
Wichita, Ku» . Doc. “I do not be
lieve In capital punishment and there
for* will not #ign the death warrant of
John Collin#.''
This, In substance, !• the statement
made tonight by Governor-elsct Stan
ley. of Kanes*, who will be seated In
office next month.
I John Collins Is the young divinity
student »ho was convicted of murder
In the first degree at Topeka last Sat
urday. He murdered his fsther Innt
May to obtain life Insurance so that le
might win « girl he loved. Under the
Kansas law, a murderer, at the end of
one year In the penitentiary. 1* hanged
If the governor sign* the death war
rant. „
"I do not say that Collin* Is not guil
ty of murder. The Jury are the so! »
Judge* In this case, and their evidence
Is sufficient. But I mm against capital
punishment. It is cruel and unjust In
th* eyes of God. Ido not think any
crime could be so severe that I would
sign a death warrant.
Stanley Is the Sunday school superin
tendent Who achieved considerable no
toriety several years ago by conducting
his school by telephone when he was
ill at home. He Is a very devout Meth
odist and a strong Republican. Re
cently Governor Leedy. the present
populist executive announced that he
would sign any death warrant .. the
law required him to do so, and politi
cians say to oppose Leedy Is one rea
son why Stanley refuses to sentence
Collins to death.
Judge William Walker, one of the
most respected attorneys Southern
Kansas, said:
"If Governor-elect Stanley said he
would not sentence John Collins to
hang because he had personal views
against capital punishment sbeh a nar
row-minded person should not be in
augurated. If he does not hang Collins
he will not do his duty as governor
of Kansas.”
