Rhode Island Cuts Something OF q
Figure in the Convention.
Ex-Governor Brown Had a ROYAL
Reception by the Delegates.
Special to The News.

CLEVELAND, o., June 19.-The Leaguers
from the silver States were present with
big and aggressive delegations at the
opening of the National Convention in
Music Hall yesterday morning. They ara
full OF fight, but good natured. The
Colorado delegation wore fac-simile silver
dollars on their badges, and among the
leaders is Sheriff Burchinel of Ararpahoe
County, who had charge OF DIR. Graves,
the murderer of Mrs. Bsrnaby. Idaho,
led by Senator Dubois, New Mexico, aud
Governor Brice, whose wife is of old
Rhode Island stock, Montana, with Tom
Carter, and host from the other Western
states, announce their intention OF
getting a hearing for silver. Every one
OF them, though, is willing to abide by the
action OF their convention, and declare
that they are Republicans, first, last, aud
all the time, silver or no silver.
They don't insist that the convention
shall commit itself; all they want is q fair
hearing. There will be plenty of meet
ings for them to air themselves in before
the convention is through. Incidentally,
Denver wants to get the Presidential
convention.
The meetings will be conspicuous by
the absence of the Presidential possibili-
ties, who evidently want to keep out of
the silver mess. Most all of them have
their steering committees on hand,
though.
Ex-Governor Brown has had royal re-
ceptioD, and his name is whispered about
convention hall today as possible Vice
Presidential candidate in the event Of .
Western man being put up for President
next year. Evans OF Tennessee is on deck
with that nomination directly In view.

POTWIN OVERAWED.
HoodIums Garry On Charivari at n
Prominent Wedding.

HoOdlums Carry On A Charivari at
Prominent Wedding.
A gang of thirty or more hoodlums
created a great disturbance last night at
the wedding at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. j. Ewart in Potwin. They. annoyed
several hundred of the most prominent So
ciety people in the city and the conduct of
the hoodlums deserves the severest re-
buke.
The gang which was about evenly di-
vided on the color line appeared shortly
before 10 o'clock and remained nearly an
hour. They we're armed with cannon
crackers, tin horns, tin pans and every
contrivance imaginable calculated to
make noise. The hoodlums boldly en-
tered the yard and surrounded the tent
where refreshments were being served.
Col. J. w. F. Hughes and DR.. West
went out to try and quiet the mob, but
they demanded money and cigars When
told that they would get none, they re-
newed their deafening noise.
William Henderson, the Potwin police
Judge, also tried to quiet them, but
failed. Finally the town marshal Cap
tain Booth, was awakened by DR.. West,
and he came to the rescue of the guests
and drove the unwelcome intruders
away. The arrest of few dozen of the
hoodlums, and a sentence on the rock
pile would have a wholesome effect.

WILL THEJURY HANG?
No Verdict in the Novels Case Reported
Today.

No Verdict in the Novels Case Reported
Today.
Up to late hour this afternoon there
has been no verdict in the Nevels case,
nor is there any immediate prospect of
one. The jury is evidently divided. by
what proportion only the jurors them
selves know. 1t is SAID that bal
lots picked up early this morning
fby a court house employe shows
that the jury stood II to / for conviction.
4his is to some extent corroborated by
the testimony of man living at the
1hroop hotel, who says he could see
the jury in the court room from his
room. He said that the eleven white
jurors stood close together at the west
eide of the room, while the one coIored
juror sat in window at the other end of
the room and took no part with them.
The defense, however. contends, with
what authority they say not, but only
look wise, that the jury stands II to for
acquittal.
The jury was called in by Judge Hazen
today and asked if they had agreed upon
a verdict. The foreman replied that they
had not They were allowed to go to the

yesterday. Debs said that he had gone
to sleep at a friends house and had not
awakened until this morning
Debs surrendered himself shortly after
the entire force of federal deputy mar
shals in Chicago had been sent to search
for him.. Debs explained his absence by
saying that he was i'll yesterday. He
went to the office of friend in the after
noon and fell asleep, he said, not awaking
until Z o'clock today.
Aside from a bad headache, he seemed
to be in good health when he arrived at
the marshaPs office. He deeply re-
failed to keep his appointment with the
deputy marshal who was to have taken
him to Jail last night and was much sur
prised to hear of the search that had
been made for him.
Debs was emphatic in his denial of the
story that his tardy surrender was the
result of too free Indulgence in liquor.
He was kept in the marshaPs office dur
ing the afternoon. arrangements being
made to take him to Woodstock at p
N. in charge of a deputy marshal.
Debs' term of Imprisonment in Wood
stock Jail was to have begun last night,
but he had not been found up to 10
o'clock today. Several United States
deputy-marshals had been searching for
the missing man since o'clock last
night
Debs surrendered himself to the mar
shall yesterday noon and was given his
liberty until o'clock. By this action he
released himself from the bonds under
which he had been held, and was con-
sequently out of custody without bail.
Various theories explanatory of Debs
absence were advanced, and one of his
friends expressed fears for his personal
safety.
The theory that being released from
bail he had taken advantage of the op-
portunity to escape, was laughed at by
his friends, who declared that his per
sonal affairs would not permit of so sud
den a departure for foreign lands.

DIR. M'YICAR RESIGNS.
President of Washburn College Retfrss
after 26 Years Service.


after rs Years Service.
At the meeting of the board of trustees
of Washburn college at the library yes
terday President Peter McVicar resigned
his position of president of Washburn.
During the last year his health has
failed so rapidly that he was compelled
to take this step. The trustees unani-
mously voted not to accept the resigna-
ton after which DR.. McVicar agreed to
continue in his present position until
next September. A committee from the
trustees composed of Mr.. A J. McCabe,
Rev.L p Broad, Mr.. Chas. W. Jewell, Rev.
Linus Bl4kesley and Mr. Harvey d. Rice,
was appointed to cooperate with the
president in sharing the burden of the
work of the president during this sum-
mer.
President McVicar has given his
whole life to Washburn. During his
term of office the college has grown
from one small building to six beautiful
buildings and an endowment of 100000.
The trustees offered the president a
year vacation for the recuper alton of his
health, but he did not accept because he
felt that even then he would not be able
to resume the arduous duties of the pres
idencv.

TEMPERANCE MARTYRS.

A Big whisky War is On in Terre Haute.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 12.-The ex-
element over the organization of the
Nicholson union, com posed of members
of eighteen church societies of young
people, to help enforce the new Nichol-
son liquor law. is at a fever heat today
because the president and secretary of
the union have been discharged from
prominent retail stores where they were
employed.
President Matere's employers say
they learned that his connection
with the union was hurting the busi-
ness Of the firm, and he WAS told to
sever his connection with the union or
leave the store. He did the latter. Sec
retary Dick was shown a document by
his employer which he was to sign that
it might be shown to customers. 1t made
him say that he repudiated the whole
movement and that he preferred to let
every man conduct his own business,
subject only to lawful authority. Dick
showed it to his pastor, who advised him
not to sign it.
He was then discharged. The session
of the Presbyterian church, of which
his employer was a member, took action
regretting the part taken by the en-
ployer. There is now much talk of re-
taliatory boycotts and a number of the
preachers are for war to the bitter end.
Paducah (Ky) Temperance Crusade.
PADUCAH. Ky, June 12-The fight
here between the liquor men and authori-
ties is waxing very hot Saturday Judge
Sanders, of the police court, decided that
the law prohibiting the sale of liquor on
Sunday is unconstitutional, aud as re-
suit everything was wide open Sunday.
About twenty saloon keepers were ar
rested for selling.
Mayor Yeiser also instituted proceed
ings against Charles King, one of the
saloon-keepers. asking that his license be
revoked, and suing his bondsmen for a
forfeiture of the 900 bond. King. in
retaliation, will swear out a warrant
against the mayor, charging him with
operating his drug store without license.

tween Leavenworth and Indianola.
Harper on one occasion hauled an
enormous demijOhn of whisky from
Leavenworth to Indianola for one of the
gamblers whose name was Farrell
Some time afterwards Harper went to
Farrell and wanted to buy the demi-
john, when Farrell said, II haven't got
that demijohn. Why, we buried that
demijohn a long time ago"
While Mr. Peyton related that story
Captain Curtis listened attentively and
then said. "Yes. that is just the way l
heard it. / knew that gambler Farrell
very we'll He was here after l came"
The theory of the people who have
heard these stories is that the two In
dianola gamblers had a hand in the rob-
berry of the government paymaster. and
that they buried the treasure in the dem
John and some old kettles, and that now
some of their friends have in some way
learned where the gold was buried and
have dug it up.
1t is of course possible that the theory
OF these people may be all wrong, but it
may be right.
Mr.. s. j. Reader, who lives near Mr..
Phillips farm, was here at that time, as
was also DR.. Samuel Ashmore of North
Topeka.
DR.. Ashmore could not be seen today,
as he left yesterday for Texas, where he
has gone to prove up his claim to some
land.
uncle Bobby" Forbes who lives near
Menoken, was also here when these
events transpired. and it is possible that
clue may yet be obtained which will
unravel this mystery.

Would Not Take Fee on the Side of
Liquor Interests.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 12.-lt developed
today that just before President Harri-
son left for the east he was visited by one
of the attorneys retained by the liquor
league to contest the constitutionality of
the Nicholson temperance law, and was
asked if he would accept retainer OF
$4,000 from the league. Mr.. Harrison
declined the offer, and he is said to have
told the attorney that he would under no
circumstances appear in court on that
side of the case.
He is quoted as saying that whatever
his views might be as to the constitution
ality of the law, he was convinced that it
was much needed advance in the di-
rection of better morals, and intended to
throw merited restraint about the liquor
traffic, and he could not conscientiously
lend his aid to having it declared uncon-
stitutional and made imperative.
