DOESN'T LIKE WOMEN.

4 Crazy Man Who Has One Fine
GIimmer of Reason Left.
T. NJ. Tinkham, the Oakland man who
was found almost famished in hut near
Ottawa recently, was examined by Judge
Wood today, with view to trying him
for his malady.
Tinkham is forty years old, he says,
and has never been married. He despi-
ses women and will not be where one is
if he can help it. He is not particularly
fond of men either, and prefers to be
alone and away from every body. He is
said to be a very we'll educated man, but
he is certainly little off in his brain and
knows it. He admitted as much to Judge
Wood today.
When the sheriff was bringing him up
from Ottawa he would not go into a
coach where there were women and had
to ride all the way in smoking car and
as much alone as possible.
He was good natured and answered all
questions sanely in court today but was
very nervous, as he says he has been for
years.
He put his hand to his head often and
says it felt queer.
II want to be alone" he said, "out in
the country away from everybody where
if l want to l can yell and jump around.
Tinkham understands his condition
| thoroughly but will take no medical
treatment. He doesn't believe in it, he
says.
He has been a fine looking man once
and intelligent He uses the best OF
language.

AGAINST The TRUST.
Judge Severens of the Federal
Court Decides
That Trusts Are Unlawful in
Michigan.
CAN'T BE PERMITTED
Even Though They Are Organ
lied for the Public Good.
The Capsule Trust Claimed It
Reduced Prices.

DETROIT, Mich, March 19.-Judge
Severens in the United States district
court today rendered an important de-
cision bearing on the Sherman antitrust
law.
About year ago the Merse, Warren.
Michigan and National Capsule COM
panies entered into an agreement to pool
their interests and to carry on the
business of manufacturing gellatine
shells for capsules as one institution, un-
der the style of the United States Cap
sule company. Although the agreement
had been entered into the Merse Cap
sule company baked and refused to
go further into the consolidated en-
terprise The cause cf the dis
affection was due to the election of cer-
tain members of the other companies to
the management of the new one, and also
to their contention that the new company
practically control the manufacture OF
gellatine shells or capsules.
They fled a bill to perpetually restrain
the United States company from doing
business on the ground that it was an en- :
terprise TO command the trade, put up
prices and bar competitors out of busi-
ness. The defense was that the new
company was not formed to raise prices,
but was designed to lessen the cost of
production, stop ruinous competition and
to yield better product.
| Judge Severens takes the position that
| the trust was formed in violation of the
laws of the state of Michigan, as well as
the act of congress- although it became
SO apparent said Judge Severens in con-
nection with his opinion that the
combination was intolerable under tne
| Michigan law, that it was not necessary
to apply the congressional enactments
which bear upon the same question.
The case will doubtless undergo a re-
view in the appellate court"

S. NJ. Scott Says There Would be no Sense
in a Populist Changing Records.
s. N. Scott, president of the state
board of public works, said to a STATE
JOURNAL reporter today that the stories
about the changing of the records in the
case of his appointment are for him
rather than against him.
Mr.. Scott says the senate journal shows
that he was appointed for a full term,
ending April 1, 1898. while the changed
records make it appear that he was ap-
pointed for term which would expire
in 1897.
He said: "The changing of the record
in the case OF the board of public works
would be of very little consequence, as
the appointments of this board are un-
like any other in the state. They hold
their Office for four years or at the
pleasure of the governor, as the law cre-
ating the board plainly states.
''They can be removed at any time the
governor deems it in the best interest of
the state. | have stated at different times
that my resignation would be placed in
his hands at any time he desired. If
there has any change been made in this
case it is plainly clerical error. as there
is no good reason for a Populist to make
the chanpR.'

the voters of Topeka. irrespective of

It Is possible that the mayoralty con-

registered voters will participate.
The registration books are still open
at the office of the commissioner of cleo

open until Friday night.
There is a comparatively small num-
Der of women registered and the woman
vote is an important factor in a city cleo

are not registered should register without

this matter in manner satisfactory to
all concerned but it will be well for all
the voters in Topeka to be registered and
ready to express their wishes at the polls.

Story of a Man Who Got Wife Under
False Pretenses.
One more divorce case, bearing with
it a sad story of deception and entrapped
confidence, was filed Ia the district
court today. Mrs Ida Tingeley says she
held good position in Topeka in the
fall of 1898, when she received letter
from William Tingeley of Seattle, Wash,
asking her to go there. He represented
that he had secured lucrative position
for her in public Office. Believing that
Tingeley was her friend she gave up
her position in Topeka aud went to
Seattle.
She found that Tingeley had not Sc
cured a position for her, but wanted her
to marry him. He Represented to her
that he was a man of wealth and owned
several ranches. Being far from home,
alone among strangers. and without any
money to get home on, she married him
with some reluctance. She found his
claims to wealth were as unfounded as
his guarantee of employment
They lived together from Janu-
ary 3 to March /, 1894. Then
Mrs. TingeIe returned to Topeka and
has been here ever since, supporting her
self.
She alleges non support and abandon
ment, of more than a years standing,
and in addition to the divorce asks for
the restoration of her maiden name.
Waters s. Waters are her attorneys.

WON'T DISRUPT THEM.

gather in Spite of the New Law.
INDIANAPOLIS. March 19.-The execu-
tive committee of the state prohibition
committee has been called to meet here
today to consult in regard to the duty of
the party toward the Nicholson temper
ance bill. While the bill was being
urged before the legislature it was
frequently asserted that if it ever
became a law. there would be no
prohibition party left in the state;
that the prohibitionists would all vote
the republican ticket.
The members of the committee who
are here say it is not true that the enact
ment of the law will disrupt the party.
1t is said that the meeting OF the com
mittee this time has for its purpose the
taking of such steps as will tend to hold
the party together.

A Dress Reformer Wants to Reform Mems

CHICAGO, March 19.-Dr. Sarah Hacket
Stevenson, one of the best known physi-
clans in Chicago, has made an unique
suggestion regarding the dress reform
movement She would put men in
skirts.
In an interview today advocating
woman's skirts reaching only to the
ankles, declaring sweeping skirts spread
disease, notably the baecili tuberculosis
from expectorations in the cars and
streets, she said: "By the way there is
not single graceful line in masculine
attire. For my part I believe men
would look better if they wore skirts. In
fact. men did wear skirts in the long
ago. When men wear short skirts on the
stage how much more graceful they ap-
pear.
"In fact, think a change in mems
attire is to be commended. and nothing
would be more graceful for evening wear
than knee breeches. Harriet Hosmer
calls our statues Tetroussed obituaries,
and think she is about right"
