SPIRITED MEETING LAST MIGHT

Fifteen Hundred AilitiamenExDec
to Take Part ia the Encampment-
The Expense Will be $1,000 Above
the Appropriation.
There was a stirring meeting at the
court house last night in the interest of
the national guard encampment which
Topeka wants for next September.
About fifty men were present, among
them Samuel 7. Howe, c. c. Baker, j.
W. F. Hughes, T. J. Anderson, J. G.
Wood, C. II. Titus, 81. c. Holman, s.
Ettlinger, A. 81. Fuller, Arthur Capper,
John Rogers, ]. F. Carter, Fl. n. Phillips
and Sam Grosch. Samuel 7. Howe was
chosen chairman and Arthur Capper
secretary.
Major T. J. Anderson explained that
the encampment would cost considerably
more than the appropriation which has
been made, and this would have to be
borne by somebody, It has been sug
gested that the encampment, together
with the presence of three or four Coin
panies of cavalry from Ft. Riley and a
troop of artillery from Leavenworth,
would make a military showing that
would be worth going miles to see. By
charging a nominal admission, say ten
cents-to the day and night sham battles
and parades and fireworks, enough could
be made to more than meet the ex-
penses.
General Hughes said there would
probably be from 1900 to 1900 members
of the state militia in camp, not includ-
ing the detachment of regulars from the
United States army. The expenses
would be for wood, coal, light. provis-
ions and prizes. The cost would be about
$1,000 above the appropriation. The week
commencing September 10, has been set
as the time for the encampment, although
the time could be changed.
John Rogers explained that this was
the week set By the Topeka Racing asso-

citation for races at the fair grounds track.
He suggested that the two events might
be held in conjunction, as the military
display would draw a crowd to the races,
and the races might help out the pres
ence at the military display. He was in
doubt, however, how the two would
E'mix." It is feared that sham battles
and horse races wouldn't work together.
Major Phillips of the K. n. G. remind
ed those present that several other Kan
sas towns including Emporia and Leav-
enworth, are after the encampment, and
Topeka would have to hustle to get it. 1t
is said that the militia could save about
| $500 in mileage by holding it at EN- po-
ria.
NJ. C. Holman and C. II. Titus each
spoke in favor of a subscription for a
guarantee fund, or for a cash subscriD-
ton. Mr. Titus said the trouble with
| most committees to do work of this sort
was that they are too large.
The result of the meeting was a vote
by which Chairman S. T. Howe was au-
thorized to name q committee of nine
men who will have the matter in charge.
1t is understood that Major Anderson
will head the committee. 1t will be
named today.
A committee of three composed of G.
G. Baker, NJ. C. Holman and c. II. Titus
was named to confer with the racing as
sociation and the county commissioners
es to when sthe fair grounds would be
available. They will report to the COM
mittee of nine.
A formal invitation to the state aud
federal troops to hold their encsmpment
at Topeka was extended by vote that
could be heard two blocks. The COM
mittee OF nine will do the rest.

Last week Miss Helen Gould, daugh-
ter of the late Jay Gould, had a great

and during the drive they managed to
approach and pass the court house from
three different points of observation,
giving it different name each time.
Miss Gould expressed her pleasure that
ConcOrdia had SO many public buildings,
but was disappointed at the similarity of
architecture displayed in them. After
| the ride the visitors were steered into
Baptist festival, where ice cream and
cake were the leading features, and
Miss Gould was so pleased with the quail
| ity of the ice cream that she insisted on
paying $50 for her dish. and the other
members of her party contributed So and
| SO each.
In addition the distinguished party at
tracted everybody in town so that the

aid of the Provident association and Miss
Gould and her party accepted an invita-

Indications That Yesterdays Cleve-
land Fire Was Incendiary.
THREE mem Who ACTED SUSPICIOUSLY
The Deaconess Home Was With
out Fire Escapes.
POLICE ON THE LOOKOUT

Glen ELAND, Ohio February 2-Testi-
mony of a most startling nature was given
today at The corouers Investigation of the
Deaconess Home holocaust, in which four
persons lost their lives yesterday. The po-
lice have taken charge of the burned build
ing, and search is being made for three
men who supposed to know some thing
about the origin Of the fire.
Miss Anna Som,ners, acting matron of
the home. testified that explosion took
place preceding the fire, and the entire
house was wrapped in smoke and flames
almost instantly. She said three men had
been lettering about the house for several
days. When the fire broke out she rushed
10 the front door, and found that these
same men We're in the yard.
They paid no attention TO her frantic ap
pealS for assistance in. getting out the
patients. The explosion was evidently in
the registers We're blown from their places.
The police are very reticent, but it is
evident they are working on the theory
that the fire had an inCendary origin. 1t
was shown at the investigation that the
burned building was without fire escapes
of any kind. in direct violation of the state
law. -.
William Allmyer. of the patients
burned to death, it stated. was strap
ing under treatment for broken hip.
Minnie Baumer the brave nurse. was en-
deavoring to unloosen the straps which
bound Altmyer when she was overcome by
the smoke, and lost her life rather than
desert her patient. ...-

TRAGEDY IN reLicE STATION.
a Hoiyoke officer shoots u Former

HOLYOKE, Mass, February "A trag-
edy. which cannot be explained, occurred
II is morning in the police station in this
city. Officer Patrick j. Devereaux shot and
mortally wounded ex-Police Capt. Maurice
ID. F'enton. He then turned, the weapon on
himself and drove bullet through his own
brain. which killed him Instantly. Fenton
died in a very few minutes. II is thought
that officer Devereaux had become sud-
denly insane.
The affair occurred in the patrolmen's
room in the city building. FeIton was
seated, leaning his head against an iron
pillar. AS DevereauX entered he marched
up to the eX-captain, drew his revolver
from his hip pocket and shot him in the
head. the ball striking the temple. Thsn,
without waiting to the result of The
shot, he placed the nuzzle of the weapon
TO his own forehead, pulled the trigger
again and blew out his own brains
The officers in the adjoining rooms heard
the pistol report and quickly rushed to the
scene TO ascertain the cause. They found
F'eHton was still living, though uncon-
scious. and he breathed his last in a few
minutes.
So far as is known no quarrel of any
sort existed between the two men.

GREENHUT QUESTIONED.
He Tells the COuri of buying Whisky
Trust Stock.

CHICAGO, February 2.-Proceedings in
the whisky trust litigation in the United
States court opened with u promise of a
sharp battle today. Judge Grosscup took
the initiative. He evidently intended to
find what foundation there was for rumors
that the receivers had not been acting in
the interest of the property.
President Greenhut was called to the
stand as soon as court opened. Judge
Grosscup said he intended to ask tew
questions before arguments for the re-
moval of the receivership began.
'Did you deal in any whisky trust stock
Monday or Tuesday," he asked the wit
ness.
Yes" replied Mr.. Greenhut. Tuesday
bought between three thousand and four
thousand shares on the New York stock
market. did not sell, and have the stock
bought then
Receiver Lawrence, Mr.. Greenhut's asso-
ciate, said he neither bought nor sold any
stock.
Attorney Levi Mayer then began his
argument on the motion TO oust the re-
ceivers. In court were present large num-
bers of persons interested in the proceed
ings. Among the directors in attendance
were Messrs. Greenhut, BegSs, Hobart,

DISCUSSING THE INDEMNITY.
The Only Question Now Being Con-
sfdered by Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO February minister
Mariscal and President Diaz have held an
other consultation on the Guatemalan mat
ter, in which the subject of indemnities for
Mexico was further discussed. Mr.. Maris-
cal intimated to the newspaper correspond
ents that the amount and general nature
of the indemnity due from Guatemala Is
practically the only question being consid
cred at the present time.
The TEMPO says that Guatemala has sent
a cablegram to Mexico, in which it accedes
to the demands of this republic in every
particular, agreeing to pay to Mexico full
II demnity for all losses incurred in the in
vasfon giving rise to the present unhappy
state of affairs, but this is denied.
1t was limited at the palace today that
there may be speedy outcome to the af
fairs now pending. A long session of repre-
sentatives from the various departments,
including the treasury branch, was held
today with Gen. Ignacio Escudera, COM
!nander of the Mexican forces and chief of
the War Department in the absence of
Gen. Pedro Hinojosa. Gen. Escudera i'm
mediately left his office and held a confer
erce with President Diaz, but it's outcome
is not yet known.
Summarizing the number of applicat tions
of Americans and the amount of followers
that the applicants can place on the field
in fighting trim, it is evident that $500 men
of tn United States are ready to enter the
service of Mexico, without mourning any
expense to it's treasury.

lied the investigation into the affairs of

office by members of the ventilation and

mittee. sitting Jointly, was somewhat dis
turbed today by a momentarily heated col
loquy between Representative Walker of

Mr. Stockslager objected to Mr. Walkers
mode of questioning Mr. Clark, an inter-
ruption which Mr.. Walker promptly re-
sented Sharp words are said to have
passed between the two, but an explanation
by Mr. Stockslaser seemed to satisfy Mr..
Walker, which closed the incident and the
investigation proceeded. Members of the
committee say that nothing has been de-
veloped TO show any willful maladministra-
ton of the affairs of the office, but that
Architect Clark seems 10 be ignorant of

THE REASON WHY.
Maxwell Pushed Himself Ahead of Hr.
Whitney in the Income Tax Case.

The facts which led to the resignation of
Solicitor General Maxwell are gradusiiy
coming to light, and thus far they differ
materially from the statements published
yesterday morning. Attorney General Oh
ney, Assistant Attorney General Whitney
and other officials of the Department of
Justice declined to be interviewed ON he
subject.
1t is learned however from other sources
that the solicitor generals conduct with
reference TO the income tax cases now be-
fore the Supreme Court was the last of
acts deemed Objectionable and decided Mr..
Olney to take prompt action. The income
tax suit begun some time ago by Mr.. John
q. Moore of New York was successfully
conducted by Assistant Attorney General
Whitney in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
And so, when the other income tax cases
were to come up before the United States
Supreme Court on the question of their ad-
vancernent on the docket, the Attorney
General, after conference with the treas
ury officials, designated Mr. Whitney. to
present to the court the views of the ae-
partment. - 4
it is said was Informed by Nh. Maxwell
that he had conferred with the Attorney
General and the Secretary of the Treasury,
and without further words made a motion
to advance the case on the docket, Thereby
assuming charge in disregard of the At
torney Generals Instructions and wishes
that Mr.. Whitney should conduct the
cases.
Later on, IL is stated. Mr.. Olney be-
came aware that Mr.. Maxwell had not
consulted Secretary Carlisle in regard to
the case, and, further, that the Secretary
of the Treasury had not seen Mr. Maxwell
but once in a long time, and on that oc-
casion the subject was not mentioned
Knowing that he himself had not con-
suited with the solicitor gcnefs1,> 1.-THE At
torney General wrote him letter setting
forth these and other things deemed OBJ
jectionable. and Me. AiaxxeirS resignation
followed.
