Although He Seems EqalIy Guilty With
the Other Men.
The three men who are charged with
burglarizing a ckIsland freight car last
Friday night and stealing twenty dozen
overalls, were given their preliminary
hearing before Justice Chesney this
the district court in the sum of $500
each. The men who arc bound over are
Charles Anderson, Sam Levy and James
Harrington.
The evidence against the accused men
was complete.
Officers Owen, Blumenstock, Capron'
Arter bridge and Hicks told of the arrest
of the men and the discovery of the goods
The foreman of the Rock Island freight
depot at Kansas City, was on hand with
papers to show that the consignment in
question was sent by freight to Schilling
Bros. at Herington, last Friday afternoon;
and the freight agent'at Herington said
that when an inventory of the car was
made it was short one case of dry
goods. After consultation with
their attorn eys, Joe Ensminger and w.
E Dom, the men decided that anything
they might say would be of no avail, so
they waived the testimony for the de-
fense.
]. c. Ury of Topeka, who is the fourth
man involved in the robbery, is being
examined this afternoon. The original
charge against him, that of larceny. was
withdrawn and another complaint which
charges him with receiving stolen goods,
has been filed in its place.

been received at the executive depart
ment from Dunbar, in the Coke regions,
for troops.
The situation in the southern end of
the region is said to be critical, while in
the southern district the works are grad
ually in operation.
A dispatch from Pittsburg says that
Chairman Frick and Secretary Lovejoy,
OF the Frick coke company, have re-
ceived no information that would indi-
cate the necessity for calling on the
troops.
+ The Pittsburg dispatch says: A message
received at the executive department
late last night from L. & w. R. Wister
& Co., of Dunbar owners of the Dunbar
furnace, stating that the situation justi-
hes the governor in calling out the troops.
The firm complains that their men are

dated and obstructed by the strikers.
Governor Pattfson is in Pittsburg to-
day. There is nothing at the adjutant
generals Office to indicate that the troops
will be called out. Private Secretary

not call out the state guard unless the

Republicans Hoot Them for Not Being
Able to Get a Quorum.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The struggle
over the adoption of the new rule to Sc
cure a voting quorum was resumed

his feet and objected and when Mr..

licans sat silent in their seats.
The prospect of a quorum today was
hopeless, and as it had been agreed to
call Democratic caucus to consider the
rules, MIR. Dockery moved an adjourn
ment and at / o'clock the house adjourn
ed.
The announcement of the caucus read

MISS POLLAk DAY.



Dear Young Girls
WASHINGTON, April 13--Judge Jere NJ
Wilson was compIimented today by the
presence of large audience of his coll
leages and of members Of congress to
hear his reply TO the attacks of Col. Phil
Thompson upon his client and the elo-
quent appeals of Major Ben Butter
worth.
A startling thing had been urged on
the defendants behalf, he said, viz: That
this case in all its revelations should not
have been brought
sMr .Butterworth has said that we are
to blame for spreading pollution through
this country. If what this defendant has
confessed on the stand be true, it is pos
sible that such things are to be redress
ed Is it possible that in the sunlight of
our civilization there is no redress? You
not tie milestone around his neck
and sink him in the sea for the fishes to
feed upon; you can not shut him in a
cage and double lock it to keep him from
poIluting the women of the country; you
can not do that, but you can secure the
redress that the laws of the land have
provided
81 suppose my friend Butterworth
would say that if the third count in this
indictment be true. he would Danish the
woman and send the man to congress. l
stand here for higher WOmanhood. l
stand here to demand the same standard
from woman and man. / stand against
such sentiments as this defendant has
uttered, that such baseness Injuries the
man, but destroys the woman. Would
the jury say that this defendant was to
be admitted.to their parlors and the outer
gates locked and barred against the
WOmanr"
Here MIR. Wilson produced sheet OF
letter paper and said that he could i'm
agine the mothers of the land sitting up
writing such letters as the imaginary one
he would read OF course it was sim
ply imaginary, he said, but every one
could see the feminine handwriting as
the judge held it up, and everyone knew
that it was one letter from the CORES
pondence he has received during the
trial.
1t was in part as follows:
plead for the dear young girls. L
cannot but feel how urgent it is for
every one to watch and pray for tn en
constantly. / was left in the world
young to care for myself and l can re-
member how men have tried to rob me
of all that was worth living for. | have
lived pure life, because l early took
the Lord for my guide, and if 1 had not
come close to Him the way would have
been very hard"

WHERE THE LAW IS WEAK
1t Doesn't Seem to Protect People on
SoIdiers' Home Grounds.

SOIdiers' Home Grounds.
Judge j. A Riner, in the federal court
today, made an important ruling. 1t was
in the case of John BOzeman and Henry
Harkins, from the National Soldiers
home at Leavenworth,- who are charged
respectively with assault with intent to
kill, and assault and battery. They were
indicted by the grand jury in their first
return made to the court, and they en-
gagged J. J. Hit to defend them Mr..
Hit took demurrer to the Indictment
on the ground that there is no law COW
ering assaults government grounds
where the state has ceded jurisdiction,
as is the case at the Leavenworth home.
Judge Riner sustained the demurrer
and quashed the indictment, holding
that there was no provision in the feder-
al court for cases of assault, the law pro-
viding that in such cases the laws of the
state shall be operative. The judge held
that the ceding of jurisdiction, as was the
case at the soldiers home, left very de-
fective law, as the result of which an as
sault on the grounds of the soldiers home
or similar places can not be punished in
either the state or federal courts.

WARRINGTON, April 13.-The Examiner
has sent telegraphic requests to the
chairman of the Democratic national
committee of the various representative
states requesting expressions of opinion
on the attitude of Senator Hill, of New
York. toward the Democratic party.

Senator Hills course. Some of them as

advise him to join the Republican party.

TO FOLLOW TT UP.

State House OmciaIs Well Pleased With
Their "Republtcan Scandal Unearthet."
In regard to the Irregularities of the
last Republican administration of the
state school fund commission, which is
printed on another page, State Superin-
tendent Gaines said this afternoon:
'sThis affair will not be allowed
to go unnoticed although Coun-
ty Attorney Stafford refuses to
prosecute. Governor Lewelling will au-
thorize the attorney general to prosecute
and all the interested parties will be ar
rested and if they get out of the scrape
by pleading statute of limitations all
right We don't know whether the linn
itation act applies or not"
Ex-Attorney General John n. Ives,
who was a member of the state school
fund commissioners for two years just
prior to the present administration,
and who is familiar with the
transactions, said: "Mr. Mckinley
obtained those warrants in regular way
as he was the authorized agent through
whom the school fund commission pur-
chased bonds from the various counties
and school districts. In several Instances
L do not know whether those cited today
are the ones l knew about or not,
but on several occasions Mr.. Mckinley Y
made use of the funds entrusted to his
care, but he made everything good when
it was demanded. While his transactions
were irregular, do not think criminal
charge against him would hold.
"Wr. Winans was very much worked
about the affair and he did his utmost to
straighten affairs out soon as it was
discovered"
