Long gets sentence
Long, 28, Topeka, was accused in last week's final shooting of Stork Dorek Stocke.
Long had been awaiting sentencing on the burglary charge when he was arrested in connection with a firearm.
He escaped Sunday night from use Shawnee County Jail and was recaptured by lawmen at a residence in east Topeka Monday. He offered no resistance when officers surrounded the house after they received tits that Long might be there.
Sheriff J. T. "Jim" Cairn said yesterday that one jailer had resigned, another had been suspended for two weeks and the other was being given even a reward in the wake of the escape
Allen ordered that Long be taken to the Kansas Reception and Diagnostic Center for 90 days of examination. At the end of that time, he will be returned to Shawnee County District Court to await proceedings in the 23 felony counts filed or expected to be against him in Shawnee and Douglas counties as a result of last week's incident.
Long was convicted last month on the burglary charge here.
He appeared in a police line-up yesterday
to have hostages in last week's Lawrence incident attempt to identify him.
Long was arrested Friday at Junction City after being sought for about 27 hours by law officers following a robbery and shooting at the Sanctuary, a private club at 1401 W. 2th St. in Lawrence, and abduction of four hostages.
Long is accused of holding up the Sanctuary last Wednesday morning, fatally shooting Storbek, 21, in the heat during a rainstorm. The group, which hostage and driving them to Toronto
Police said the suspect left the four people tied up in an abandoned house in east Topeka and fled. One of the women freed herself and called police to launch the manhunt for Long, which ended in Junction City the following day.
Long was returned to Topeka and placed in the Shawnee County Jail. He and two others escaped from a 12-man tank at the jail Sunday night.
Chaffee yesterday declined to name the jailers involved in the disciplinary actions. Chaffee said the unnamed jailer who received a fine an order to keep Long in a private cell.
He said a sheriff's captain discovered Lang in the 12-man "bulpen" cell and ordered him placed in a private cell. However, Chaffee said, when the resigned
The sheriff said that when Long was returned from Junction City, jailers were forced to stay.
"Some jailers were doing some things they were told not to do." Chaffee said.
jalier returned to duty Sunday he placed Long back in the tank.
U.S. 59 bypass to receive public airing
The third escaper had not been returned to jail yesterday, but Chaffee said lawmen thought they knew where he was and weren't overly concerned about him. The third escaper was not regarded as dangerous.

Chaffee said there were other things about the escape that disturbed him, in particular, the car parked in a squar car parked about two blocks from the jail apparently saw the three escapers leave the courthouse area and even flashed a red light, causing the trio to scatter—but did not mess with them.
"Nobody was thinking jailbreak," Chaffee said.
One of the two prisoners who fed the jail with Long turned himself in Monday morning, giving officers their first hand firing a salve nearly 12 hours after it occurred.
A public hearing on a proposed U.S. 99
passed in Dec. 4 by the State
Highway Commission.
He said he hadn't directly asked the jailer to resign, but said "his captain took care of it."
He said no recommendations would be made on the selection of the bypass route until he had heard that the seven alternative weren't final and that they could be shifted to solve problems.
The bypass ultimately will connect U.S. 59 at the southwest corner of the city to U.S. 24 at the northeast corner. The first phase of the bypass will connect K-10 (or 23rd street) with U.S. 24.
The sheeriff also told a news conference the steel bars that are supposed to keep anyone from getting to the pipe duct were so large that even when the gum would have held them better.
Bill Watts, a location engineer for the State Highway Commission, said a study of the proposal hinged on comments from the public and local governmental agencies.
Watts said he had no assurances that the bypass ultimately would connect with U.S. 59 and said it wasn't in the immediate future.
"The way things are now, it is possible that any one (of the alternatives) could be extended," Writes said. "This is the first basic toll bypass for the city of Lawrence."
Watts presented a brief summary of the study to the city and county commissioners yesterday. He said a detailed presentation, including both positive and negative aspects of each alternative route, would be given at the hearing.
"Support or the project as a whole is important," he said, "not just the selection of them."
Watts said any one of the seven alternatives was feasible and they were compatible with the present plan and goals for Lawrence.
The study names seven alternatives—six possible routes and the alternative of no route.
Watts explained the disadvantages of
The six routes consist of AEQ, BNR, BNS,
CJEO. HLJEO and IHX.
The BNR route would displace four homes and one business, he said.
each route to the commissioners. He said advantages would become fairly apparent.
The seAQ would displace three homes and two businesses. He said the south inpatient complex was congested—the route would pass through a salvage yard and a trailer park—and would interfere with the future expansion of the FMC Corporation Industrial Chemical
Watts said an intersection at 11th Street would be impossible, thus eliminating a connection with the Haskell Loop. There are problems at the north end locating ramps.
The BNR route would cross a farmstead and the Franklin Cemetery, Watts said. It also crosses the Cooperative Farm Chemicals Assn. sedimentation ponds.
Watts said the AEQ route had the highest cost for obtaining right of way properties.
The RNS route would have all the problems of the RNS route from the point to the parth at the exit.
Watts said the CJEQ route would cross two cemeteries and land intended for future Cooperative Farm Chemicals Assn. sedimentation ponds.
He said that with the CJEQ route there would be problems constructing an intersection at 15th Street and crossing the Industries' properties at the north ends.
The CJEQ route also would sever the second largest amount of properties, he said.
Watts said the IHJEQR route also had problems at 15th Street and at the FMC land. He said this route would require the most fill material, which was difficult to obtain. He mentioned the possibility of getting fill material from the river.
The IHJEC route is the longest route and requires backtracking for drivers coming
Schneider vows fair enforcement
Chaffee said that a welder had been summoned to fix the bars and that federal inspectors had been recalled to inspect the Shawnee County Jail's security system.

Curt Schneider, Kansas' attorney general-elect, said yesterday he would seek to enforce laws equally during his administration, including drug and consumer protection laws.
"I won't say specifically that I will enforce the drug laws any stricter than other laws such as gambling and loolr." Schneider said. "However, I will hard to enforce the drug laws until the legislature makes a change in the laws."
By DON SMITH
Schneider, a Democrat and assistant attorney general for Vern Miller, defeated Republican Tom Vanickle, currently state treasurer, for attorney general Nov. 5. He was born in as the third Democratic attorney general in Kansas' history in January.
Schneider told he was considering establishing a branch office of the attorney general in either western Kansas or Ohio, and said there used to be an office in Wichita.
Schneider said he envisioned a branch office in western or central Kansas so Kansans wouldn't have to travel to Topeka to get in touch with his office.
"I would like to see an attorney, an investigator and a secretary if possible,"
Schneider said his office would offer assistance in criminal prosecution and defense.
Miller's administration) tried to do was enforce the laws, period-equally and consistently.
In addition, we (his administration) will try to offer and give assistance in criminal prosecution any time they (local law officials) want us to help." Schneider said.
"The one thing that we (Atty. Gen. Vern
Schneider said he hadn't made a decision
whether to retain Fred Howard, director of the Kansas Bureau of investigation and a Miller appointee. He said he had also made a decision about job positions in his administration.
Proposals for two joint degrees, which would combine a master's degree in economics or political science with a law degree, were approved unanimously yesterday by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Assembly. The department of economics will give M.A. credit for 12 hours of course work, and the department of hours of economics will count toward a J.D. degree. The program would require 100 hours of course work, the report of

Assembly approves degree plans
"There are several people interested in that position and I know them all and believe they are capable but I have never expressed an opinion of one. I will, though, the time is right."
By his election to attorney general, the highest statewide office captured this election by the Democrats, Schneider was vaulted into the leadership of the state party. Although he declined to comment on or for a new party chairman to replace Todd businessman Robert Brock, Schneider he expected to support a candidate.
"It's not my choice who the new party chairman is," Schreider said. "Obviously, I have something to say about it, but the district chairman will make that decision in February."
"I've talked to many people about positions, but I've made no commitments about this office or the KBL," Schneider said.
There were many people who thought the Democratic party in Kansas took a beating in the general election, Schneider said. He disagreed.
"I feel it is as strong as it has ever been. The election showed that people in Kansas can vote for a Democrat if that Democratic candidate views about the office," Schneider said.
"The department of political science will give credit for 12 hours of Law School work," the report continued, "Twelve hours of M.P.A. (Masters of Public Administration) required core courses which will then be combined; would require 90 hours of course work."
College Committee on Graduate Studies says.
Paul Mostert, chairman of the committee, said the proposal also would have to be approved by the Graduate Council.
"The master of arts in special studies that was approved in a recent Assembly meeting was not approved by the Graduate Council." Mostprt said.
The Assembly also approved three guidelines set up for future degreees.
The Council said that it hadn't found sufficient need for the degree, which would

He also said the intersection at U.S. 24 would be difficult because of K-32, Mud Creek, railroad tracks, a local road and the Kansas Turnpike.
Watts said the HIX route wouldn't have an intersection at 11th Street because of the river. He said the migration of the river also caused problems for that route.
Schneider refused to speculate on his future political plans but said he would work to get more Democratic state senators and representatives elected.
"When you talk about the two-party system, you are talking not only about who holds the governor's office but a balance in the power and the national offices." Schneider said.
He also said the HX route had the highest construction cost and the greatest cost per square foot.
Watts said there would be an intersection at either 11th or 15th streets, but not at both, and at either Maple or North streets, if a route is chosen.
"The do nothing" route wouldn't provide an additional river crossing for Lawrence, wouldn't relieve traffic and wouldn't maintain with the K-10 freeway, Watts said.
Chaffee said the county had a contract with the federal government to keep federal prisoners, and it would be invalid if the jail didn't check out as safe.
Nancy Hambleton, city commissioner, said the city was leaning toward the CJEQ route. She said the commissioners thought it was a good idea of leading a connection with the Haskell Loon.
The proposed bypass is a a four-lane divided highway with access control like an interstate highway. The road would have a 60-foot median.
Watts said the road would be a dividing line. He warned that choosing a route too far out would require services to be extended farther out.
City Manager Buford Watson said, "We don't think the 'do nothing' is a viable alternative. We think 11th Street intersection is much better than 15th Street."
He said he thought an intersection at North Street rather than Maple Street would be better, bringing people into the city, which limits rather than at the heart of the city.

Shooting was before closing
Assistant County Attorney Doug Walker, who was the Kansan's source for that information, now says that the robbery occurred before the club's 3 a.m. closing time.

It may not be much to look at now, but if the plan of a Lawrence businessman is carried out, the former Bowersock MIlm Company building at 6th and Massachusetts streets will become a five-story flower pot. See story p. 5.
