QUEER COAT FOR A FEE
Garment in Wichita that was Made to Or
der for an Outlaw.

T.. Bee Guthrie of Perry, o. T. was
walking around town yesterday, a dis
mantled arsenal. Few people kney
1t but those who did pointed Mr.. Guth-
RE out 10 a reporter for the Eagle and
the reporter asked to see the arsenal
which happens to be an overcoat. Mr.
Guthrie used to live at Saltwater near
the home Of the famous bandit, Bill
Doolin. He was on intimate terms with
the bandits and on that account a great
many people in the territory criticized
him. Guthrie said he was not contem-
plating becoming bandit and the criti-
cisms passed upon him he regards a s
ill-timed and unkihd. He has literary
aspirations and he said he made friends
with the bandits for the purpose of
weaving their characters in, some TO
mances of western life he anticipates
writing.
He Is a graduate of the Ann Arbor
law school and went into Oklahoma at
the opening and started a newspaper
over in Payne county. in the eastern
part OF Oklahoma He didn't have
money enough to buy a printing press
so he made him a big roller, filed il
with sand and printed his paper with
that. Later he concluded TO quit the
newspaper business and go into the
practice Of law. As a lawyer il has
been his lot to defend several Of the
outlaws who regard him as a great
friend. About two years ago Guthrie
got into n row and was badly cut UP
and riddled with bullets. After ne had
recovered he met Bill Doolin one day,
he says. and Doolin said 10 him:

fellow is that shot you?"
Yes, I believe I do"

The overcoat Guthrie wore yesterday

bullet which caused Ogie's death, made.
The overcoat then passen into the hands
of a man named Jones. Jones got into
trouble and gave it to Guthrie as a fee
for defending him. The overcoat is
heavy one. Up under one sleeve is a
hidden pocket just the size for a dirk.
The side pockets for the hands are
blinds, not being pockets at all, but
simply openings for the outlaw TO hold
his gun while it is still concealed. The
right sleeve of the coat is tight around
the wrist so that in making a gun play
there will be no dangerous bitches in
action. On the arm of one of the
sleeves near the wrist is another hid
den pocket for the reception of a piece
of plug tobacco. The collar of the
coat when turned up completely covers
the head. The real pockets in the gar
ment are capacious and were no doubt
made for the purpose Of storing away
rich nauls. Besides the bullet holes in
the back, there are several others in
front and on the sides.

Mr. PETER deplored the fact that the item
for the increased pay of van drivers and
other drivers in the police service had not
been retained in it's entirety. The pay of

Senator Harris said that from a stand
point of chairman of the District commit
tee he thought the managers Of the con-
ference on the part of the Sena&e had been
extremely liberal in the concessions that
had been made to the House. They have
been somewhat more liberal, he said,
than my sense of duty would have al
lowed me to be, had l been On the confer
ence. l do not see how it is possible for
the Senate conferees to make such conces-
sions, and l hope that theF Senate will
unanimously vote to insist bnpon what
amendments We have retained, and that
the confereas will not surrender to the
House."
Mr.. Allison said that the committee on
the part of the Senate may have been
mere liberal in the concessions made to
the House than it ought to have been, but
in dealing with appropriation bills it is
necessary to make such concessions as
would secure the passage of the bill in
the end The Senate made considerable
additions to the bill in the belief that the
expenditures were necessary. Mr.. Allison
deplored the implied censure passed upon
the appropriations committee by Mr.. Sher-
mans remarks. The committee on appro-
priations, he said. has givens to this bill
the utmost possible care. The Senate must
bear in mind that one-half Of the appro-
priationS comes from the revenues of the
Treasury Department, and the District bill
is not only a matter of interest to the peo-
pie of the District alone, but to the people
of the country at large as well. Mr.. Alli-
sen said he did not criticise the adjust
ment by which one-half of the expenses of
the District is assumed by the government.
1t has prevailed for manyl. years. and
should continue to so prevail. Perhaps he
might admit that the committee ap
pIcprations does not deal with the bill IN
a local sense so far as conserving the in
terests of private individuals con-
cerned, but he thought the committee
dealt with the bill in a larger and better
sense for the promotion of the interests of
all the people who dwell here, whether
they own property or not.
After Mr.. Chandler had satisfied himself
that there new legislation in the
conference report, the Senate voted with
out division to insist on the amendments
still in dispute, and to ask for further con-
ference,

Nearly Hundred Million bushels

NEW HAMPTON, Iowa, February 25.-
President Stickney of the Chicago Great
Western railroad has inaugurated series
of meetings along the lire of his road for
the purpose of advocating a more scientific
and thorough method of farming. He will
hold one two meetings in all of the i'm
portant towns along the line, which will be
addressed by himself and others who have
had practical experience in special crops,
such potatoes.
A meeting was held here today and ad-
dressed by Mr. S. H. Hall of Minneapolis.
He claims that nearly one hundred million
bushels of potatoes are imported every
year and that by rotation of crops and
the cultivation of potatoes to greater eN
tent this deficiency can be made UP along
the line of the Great Western road.
Mr.. Sticknev says he calls it his gospel
of better farming. of smaller farms and
that il will be preached from one end of
the road to the other. They are travelling
in their special cars and making stops in
all the towns. addressing the farmers on
the subject.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, February 20
Harry Hayward, the defendant in the

ed to the Ozark after the theater, and
heard the news of Miss Gings death.

and Adry We're arrested and put ina cell
together. Adry seemed very down in the
mouth and Harry had said to him: We're
not guilty. What's the use of feeling this
way?"
But Adry was dspirited. and finally
Harry had said: "Adry, what is this You
held her up once. Did you have anything
TO do with this?'
Adry was silent and refused to talk cry
more After that there was no further
conversation between them.
This evidence caused a f1utter of excite
ment. 1t brought in the story which, on.
Thursday, had been ruled out by the court.
to the effect that Adry was the masked
highwayman, who, last April, had held up
and robbed Harry. Miss Cling and Miss
Vedder. while they were out riding. Adry.
it is understood, will go on the stand and
deny the story with an alibi.
Mr.. Erwin next read the discriminating
evidence of BliXt to the defendant wit
ness. and drew from him explicit denials
of the charges made by BliXt. The same
course was followed with Adry's testi-
mony.
1t is not expected the cross-examination
can be reached until tomorrow.

TALK OF AN EXTRA SESSION
The Conditio, of Legislation May Require
One.
The Appre priatiOn Bills and the
Chances of ~ Veto by the Presi-
dcnt-Thc Turdy Senate.

The last week OF this Congress opens
with a great deal of talk about an extra
session. The situation of the appropria-
ton bills seems to warrant the apprehen-
sion that some OF them will fail, but, after
all, it is probable that the bills will all be
got through. The House expects to finish
up the deficiency bill today, and the Sen
ate is at work on the sundry civil. In the
Senate the work is proceeding as IL there
" ere three months more OF the session. 1t
is usual for the managers who want to KIN
other legislation to allow the appropria-
tions to drag at the close of the session,
bat this SENS to have been overdone at
this time, and there is a great deal or con-
fusion as to what it may mean. III the
purpose really is TO force an extra session,
that Will, OF course, be done. IL Is not
probable, however, that such a purpose ex-
lists. The chances are that all the appro-
priationS Will be forced through under
great pressure for time at the last minute,
and IL this is net done II Will be because OF
a miscalc1!ation on the part of the man
ayers, not by their intent. There is more
danger of bad or imperfect legislation. by
reason of the haste with which the bills
will be put through at the last minute,
than there is or the failure of any OF the
bills.
There are two things that may be pro-
NOTED by holding appropriation bills back
to the last and tfen running them through
in q hurry. one is the defeat of other leg
isation the other is to get the bills through
without too great scrutiny as to their pro-
visions. The Senate will probably pass the
remaining bills almost without knowing
what is in them.
Threatening Extra Session.
1t is quite certain now ttat there are but
two things that in any way threaten an
extra session. One is the accidental failure
of appropriation bill through pressing
the policy of delay too far. The other is
the adoption of amendments which would
cause a veto. There is evidently no set pur-
pose or agreement to force an extra session.
Some of the most decided anita 1ministra-
tion men in the Senate and radical silver
men express the opinion that the Mills
amendment and that prohibiting secret
bond sales. either CT which. 1T is said, would
cause veto, will not be adopted. There Is
more prospect OF the Hawaiian cable being
accepted by. the House. Ii that remains It
is believed that it will cause veto.
1t is not the intention of the managers of
the House to permit any measures of much
Importance to go through under the six
suspension days of the closing session.

Executive CLEMENCY.
Pardons and Communications of Sem
teHces-!ipplicatfOns Denied.


The President has granted pardons in the
case of James NJ. Robinson, convicted in
Georgia of falsifying accounts; in the case
of Calvin c. BlalCck. convicted in Georgia
of distilling, and in the case of August Hell
lenthaL convicted in Florida of selling
LIQUOR without license. In passing on the
case of Robinson the President says: This
applicant was discharged from the i'm
pr.sonment to which Re was sentenced
more than two years ago. Since tnat time
he has been electel to public office and has
Gischal ged the duties of such office in an
entirely satisfactory and creditable man
rer and i'll all his relations with his neigh
tors and fellow citizens he has merited
their confidence and respect. In these cir
cumstances this pardon is granted Tor the
purpose of restoring to the applicant his
right of citizenship, of which L think he
has shown himself wcrthy.
In the case of George w. WIhurn, com
yicted in Mississippi of Illicit distiiiing and
sentenced to eight months Imprisonment,
the President has commuted the imprison-
ment to four months. Applications for
clemency were denied in the following
cases: Samuel C.. Reeves, New Jersey,
forgery of pension affidavit; +. l.. Tarry,
Mississippi violating national banking
laws; Michael J. Kelly, Massachusetts,
perjury in pension case. In regard to the
last-ndmed case the President said: This
prisoner was convicted of deliberate per-
Jury i'm an application for pension. L am so
determined that convictions in such cases
shall have their full effect in preventing
the commission of this crime, and the crime
itself is so dangerous and detestable, that
the application must be a very strong ana
exceptional one to induce me to interfere

the reflections that have been cast upon
