Kansas Legislature Knocks Out Funding For Investigation
The appropriation to fund a state board investigation was killed amid feuding over committee leadership. Secretary Semple sought his brother as sergeant at arms, and after a failed bid, W. L. Brown secured the post, leading to the defeat of the $8,000 expense item. The move halts examination of alleged misuses in the lost assessment and related scandals of the late administration. Governor Morrill announced committee members to probe Warden Chase’s penitentiary, with sessions to begin soon.
