SMASHED A SALOON.
HOW MRS. CALVIN WRECKED A LEAv-
ENwoRTH DoeGERY.
Gives Nrnor Morrill, Pointer on How
to Do It,

LEAvENwoRTH, April 26.-There was
much excitement on Cherokee street
near Sixth yesterday afternoon over the
storming of Patrick Doran's saloon by
Mrs. James Calvin. The taking of the
place only occupied a few moments, hut
it was mighty interesting for Doran
while it lasted.
The trouble at Doran's place was occa-
stoned by the presence of james Calvin,
who was on grand spree yesterday. His
faithful wife was solicitous about him and
started out to hunt him up and bring him
home.
After long search she located him in
Doran's saloon. and entered with but lit
tie ceremony. She is said to have carried
a little brass poker under her cloak and
to have made her presence known to her
husband by tapping him several times
with it. In short order the cudgel was
taken from her hands, when she seized
the large iron poker of the proprietor of
the place and landed with it a number of
times on the beautiful glass fixtures in
sight.
While she was smashing up cut glass,
several visitors of the place took occasion
to leave in a hurry. Oneof them is sup
posed to be running yet.
Mrs. Calvin finally went outside and
Doran thought all was over, but it was
not Before he could collect his ratified
thoughts, bricks began to come in through
the large plate glass windows of the in
stitution and there was a crashing of
glass that could be heard for blocks.
Doran guessed who was throwing
them and putting his head out of the door
said: Mrs. Calvin. are you drunk or
crazy?"
For an answer she passed a brick to
him from her position on the street and
he promptly terminated the interview.
A large crowd gathered and there
were many threats of having people ar
rested.
1t was stated that Doran had been
warned not to sell any liquor to Calvin,
and his wife was not condemned for max.
ing things interesting for him.

CROSBY BROS. BUY 1T.
The Stevenson Stock Purchased by Them
for $36,925.

The Stevenson Stock Purchased by Them
for $36,925.
The Stevenson stock and fixtures were
sold at public auction at 2:3O today to
Crosby Brothers, the we'll known Topeka
dry goods firm, for $3s,926
D. a. Mulvane the assignee acted as
auctioneer and when he mounted sable
he announced that he had bid of $27,-
900 to start the sale.
The bidder was B. II. Day of Lord &
Taylor, of New York 1t was not a
second until the bid was raised to
$4,000 by G. NJ. Shelly, the
& Co. of New York. Then A. ].
Townsen, of the firm of Sibley & Carr.
of Rochester, took hand, and the bid
was raised to $4,000
The bidding was then spirited be-
tween the gentlemen named raising by
$50 bids to $35,000 when a new fac
tor in the sale appeared on
the scene. He was a young man who
gave his name as Rice R. Miner, of the
firm of Burnham, Munger s. Co., of Kan
sas City. He held the New York
long glances at him and asked
all manner of questions about him
but the only thing he refused to tell was
who he was bidding for.
Day and Shelly bid with the young
man until Shelly made a bid,
of $36,000-that was their limit. The
young man promptly raised the bid to
$36,925.
Then there was long wait and num-
erous consultations but the men
from New York shook their heads
kha a
The appraised value of the stock was
$48,86S; of the fixtures $3,OO8; total of
about $4,000. The invoice, however,
showed a total value of about $65,000.
1t occasioned great deal of surprise
when the young man walked up to the
auctioneer and announced that Crosby
Bros. were the buyers. This announce
ment was greeted with applause.
Crosby Brothers will move their al
ready large store to the building which
has been occupied by the Stevenson firm.
The following gentlemen were here to

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Every mem
ber of the administration who has been
west within the past few weeks has re-
turned with marvellous stories about the
spread of the "16 to 1 craze" for that is
the word that expresses it
E. A. Mosely, a Massachusetts man,
and secretary of the interstate commerce
committee, has just come from trip ex-
tending as far as the Pacific coast.

said, ''but did not hear of one. with the
single exception of the editor of

not an advocate of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of
Is to 1. 1t is everywhere mani
fest, and absolutely wipes out old politi-
cal lines. The reception given to ex-
Congressman Sibley and Gen. A ].
Warner. at Denver, was significant. They
spoke from the steps of the, state capitol.
and the space in front of them was filled.
Before the speaking began young lady
sang a song, the refrain of which began
well hang the gold bugs the tune
being the same as that to which during
the war was sung the words, ''Weu
hang the traitors, and the enthusiasm
of the multitude as the words rang
out was comparable to nothing
the country has experienced since the
days of 1S61-1S65. When Sibley spoke
the entire crowd was with him; there
were neither Democrats or Republicans,
but all silver men, who unanimously ap-
proved everything he said.
There was another thing that struck
me-" continued Mr.. Mosely. "In the
sleeping car coming out of ST. Louis
there were ten gentlemen, and six of
them were reading Coins Financial
School, and reading it as if it were gos-
pei to them. 1t looks to me as if much
missionary work would have to be done

to be overcome,

Minister KurinO Says Japan's
Interests Are Ours.
United States Should Ally Itself
Against Europe.

New YORK, April ga special cable
to the World from Toxic says: The
Russian and French fleets in these
waters are prepared to stop Japanese
communications unless Japan abandons
all claims upon territory in Manchuria
WASHINGTON, April Administer ku-
rino, of Japan, today gave the Associated
Press very significant interview on the
eastern question. He said that in his
opinion the commercial interests of
the United States in the east, particu-
larry in Japan, are so much more extern
sive and important than those of Ger
many or France, that it would be emil
nently desirable in the event OF a Franco
German Alliance with Russia to prevent
the consummation of the peace treaty for
the United States to take an active part
in offsetting such an alliance.
Mr.. Kurino wished it to be clearly under
stood. however, that this was his per-
sonaI conviction. He had not, he said,
received any instructions from his gov
ernment and there had been no sugges-
ton of an official or unofficial character
from him to the state department that
the United States should be enlisted in
its support
His views were the result of his per-
sonal information of the extent of United
States interests in the Orient The
commercial interests of the United States
in Japan are very much greater than
those of Germany and France Prac-
tically their interests are little or moth
ing, while those of the United States
are very extensive.
THE British trade comes first" he
said, "and after comes the trade of the
United States. 1t would be eminentIy
proper, therefore, if the United States, in
consideration of her superior commercial
interests, should offset a demonstration
on the part of France and Germany, If
any such motion is actually made.
81 am not officially informed that it
has been made, nor am l apprehensive
of the move should it be made. But in
the event of its being realized then there
is little doubt in my opinion that
the commercial interests of the
United States would make it expedient
to take part in the issue.
sfThis of course would not mean that
the United States was to engage in a
fight Its cooperation would undoubt-
edly be effective without any radical
steps,

''In my opinion it will be the most re-

guilty. Men and women twenty deep

later Wilde and Taylor were escorted
into court and placed in the prisoners

WICHITA HORSE NOTES.

Items OF Interest Regarding Horses and
Horsenen From the Peerless Princess.
Jack Jewett shipped the PAGER Tom
Ogden, 2:1274, and the three-year- old
Brittin, by Athlete Rex, from Yelling
ton. They are now taking their work
over the mile track.
Dock Dulaney, PAGER. by Ashland
Wilkes. and Stella Woodline. were the
first to do little speed work last week.
These two colts are about the best gated
pair that one ever saw; of course Du-
laney's PAGER can outspeed the f1lly, but
then he's a PAGER. They worked two
heats, stepping the last half in each in
1:40 and the last quarter in 40 seconds.
Drivers Chandler, Malsby and Parry
worked four heats with Burleigh by
Hurry Burley. Tom Lee by Shadeland
Onward, and Prince Stewart by Egotist.
The Egotist horse had the pole with the
others in the order named. They would
open up every heat from the three-quar-
ter pole home and step that fast last
quarter in 35 seconds.
Nellie Cobb, 2.23, worked a mile in
2:26, last quarter in 80 seconds. The
boys all say that Cash Hedderson's mare,
Patchen Wilkes Maid, will trot in 2:1O
this year, quarter in 81 is just easy for
her.
Susie worked a couple of slow
miles in 2:30, and Tautline, 2, PAGER by
Woodline, went half in 1919.
