ers and the Police.

turbance since the outbreak of the
street railway strike occurred this
noon at the corner of Third and Wal
nut streets.
A large number of brewery employees
were out on the street during the noon
hour. One of them stopped a moving
car and attempted to pull the motor
man off the platform. The policemen
on the car were poweriess to resist
the onslaught
The police We're this afternoon SUM
moned to a point on Russell avenue
near Bayview where a barricade of
stumps, logs and debris of all kinds
had been erected across the street car
tracks. Three cars are cOrralIed be-
tween the barricade and the end of the
line man named McCune was ar
rested for plugging a switch.
The wife of striker threw her @
year-Old childsin front of a moving car
in order to block its progress and the
little one was nearly run over before
the green motorman could stop his car.
President Payne of the Railway com
pany says the strike is over so far as
the company is concerned. He says
they have all the men they want and
have ceased hiring new men, Mr..
Payne announces that the strikers win
not be blackHsted but that none of the
old men viii be hired unless it is to I'LL
vacancies that may occur in the fu-

MAD AT GEORGE MARTIN.
The Anti-Buchans Think BE Has
Been Subsidized.


Lawrence. May 6.-There is a good
deal Of opposition directed against
George W. Martin editor of the Kansas
City Gazette on the part of the anti
Buchan delegation from Wyandotte
county Martin is here and has been
here for several days doing all he can
for Buchan and in the hearing before
the committee on credentials yesterday
afternoon and evening, he occupied
seat right next to the attorneys for
Buchan. prompting them from time TO
time and assisting them in every way.
AS matter of fact, George Martin
was one of Buchan's bitterest enemies
two years ago, and through the col
umns of his paper as we'll as in other
very man whose delegation he has been
trying SO hard to seat the past three
days. The antis say that an anus
ing and interesting example of the
deadly parallel might be given by rum
ming a column of the editorial page Of
the Gazette of two years ago along
side of a column of that paper Of to-
day.
OF course the antf-Buchans have an
explanation for the support Martin is
now rendering to Buchan and this is
the idea, they say.
In case Billy Buchan be nominated
and elected. George Martin is to have
the postoffice at Kansas City. kan,
according to the agreement made be
tween Buchan and Martin.
This deal makes the anti people very
sore at the veteran journalist, and they
viii remember what he has done and
hold it UP to him at some future time.

THREE YEARS FOR BOWDEN
The Usual Plea of Innocence is Made
by the Condemned Prisoner.


This similar statement was made to
Judge Hazen today by James Bowden,
one of the Howard store burglars, when
called up for sentence Burglary had
not been proven, but grand larceny
was the verdict, as Bowden had the
stolen goods in his possession.
Judge Hazen said it was time the
people of Topeka were protected
against burglars and house breakers
and roundly lectured the prisoner
You told too many conflicting stories
about how you came into the posses
sion of these knives to be an innocent
man, said Judge Hazen.
II am innocent" said BoWden ST
was in Kansas City on Saturday, and
when I came here Monday Mcdonald
and Hutchinson had the knives. I don't
think it is fair. and I hope you will
make the punishment as light as pos
sible''
Judge Hazen said he would show
clemency on account of Bowden's
physical condition, but that he didn't
believe his story. He gave him three
years.

Weu-nigh every one of the 105 coun-

A Mink Drowned While Killing 8 Musk
 rat in an Adirondack Pool


 rat in an Adirondack Pool.
 The muddled water of half-frozen cove down on the flats told that some thing unusual had happened not long before. Plainer yet was the tale when stiffening furred body rose to the sur face of the little open space of water. Under the fringe of nearly frozen ice dark spot showed plainly to wood mans eye that fight had occurred in the water, and a closer inspection demonstrated that it had been a fight for food and fight for fife.
 A hungry mink had come that way along string of coves looking for something to eat The mice were shy, and he could not catch them. Of fish there were none, but a lone muskrat, diving for roots and after minute be- meath the waters surface rising again, offered prey at once a fighter and of goodly taste. A mink likes to kill a fighter. He will go a long way from brooks, upon hill and even mountain tops, looking for one, woodsmen say He tackles martens or weasels, and is especially fond of a big muskrat.
 The mink crouched on the edge of the ice a moment; then, as the muskrat rose, he sprang for his prey. The musk rat quickly threw up his head and caught the mink by paw. The mink got hold of the muskrat's neck, a skin hold only. They rolled and kicked the water high in the air, throwing it ten feet away into the snow. The mink could have killed the muslrat had they been in the snow or on the ground, but in the water the muskrat was too pow erful. At last they dived, and above them the water boiled and grew yellow with mud.
 Under water the mink was as badly off as at the surface. At last the mink's breath gave out, and, letting go. he tried to rise, but the muslzrat would not release his hold on the mink's leg. So at last the mink, after much strug- gling, died. But his hold on the musk rats throat, though at first only skin hold, had later been forced back. and the big vein had been cut. The mink rose to the surface, and the muskrat tried to swim away, but died, and rose as the other had done.

hands of Wilber Smith, the Sacramento
horseman, but on Tuesday Owner Van
Brunt turned the racer over to the tender
care of the wizard of the Lone and Cam
bridge stable, William Murry. He was
ridden in yesterdays race by Coady, he of
the Wheel of Fortune Hidago finish fame,
and wound up fourth. Possibly that was
the best he could do. but the officials in the
stand thought differently and declared all
bets off amid great cheering in the betting
ring.
The trainer had received permission
from the judges to work the horse on, and
he ran very credltable mile. Coady was
suspended pending the X-ray develop

THE IDEAL HOME.
Anna Shaw Says Mothers Rule the
World Only While it Is in
the Cradle

Rev. Anna H. Shaw Iectured last night
at the California-street Methodist Church
upon the home. Unlike many of the
lecturers on this topic, the speaker de-
plored the lack of fatherhood in the FAM
lily institution. The homes of America
call not so much for women government
as they do for more attention and care from
the nominal heads of them.
The reverend lady then drew picture
of the father at home with that Chinese
wall, the newspaper, held up before him be-
tween his family and himself. The father
of this country gives everything to his
children but himself
"I once saw one of the greatest men of
our country" said she, ''talking with his
was struck with the spectacle, and said,
Sir, you two appear to get along well to-
gether.' Yes he answered, i and my
boy are the best of friends like to hear
OF the fathers part of the rearing of the
boy. | once went to Boston monday
prayer-meeting, and heard all of the large
number of business men there tell how
the influence of their mothers made them
what they were. A lady present said to
me, Those mothers must have lost.their
husbands early as l haven't heard that a
single father had anything to do in raising
those boys. | would rather see boy
reared in home where there was one
father than in a home where there were
several women.
1.-The saying that the hand that rocks
the cradle rules the world, is true only
while the world is in the cradle. The lit
tie fellow soon gets out of it and then
there is work for some other than the
cradle-rocker. When women make busi-
ness of the home life then will we have
the best type of fatherhood, the best type
of motherhood and childhood. When the
home becomes the caucus of the country,
when patriotism springs from that spot,
then we will rear ideal citizens"
