A Novel Confidence Game Played by
a San Francisco Woman.

San Francisco, Sept. 22.-With the ar
rest of Mrs. Martha Evarett alias
Catching for having obtained money
by false pretences,a novelty in the way
of confidence games was brought to
light Yesterday A few days ago John
DAILY saw an advertisement in local
paper to the effect that a half interest
in a delicatessen store on Fourth street
was for sale cheap.
Being DESTROYS of embarking in bus
mess, DAILY went to look at the place
and found Mrs. Evarett surrounded
with every evidence of a prosperous
little business. Along the walls hung
rows of nice fat SauSageS and hams and
smoked fish, while the shelves held
dozens of cans of cOrned beef. There
were kegs of Ostensible tripe and pigs
feet, dried beef, cheese and tins of pick
led goods and Mrs. EVarett showed him
a large consignment of eggs in cases
and barrels of butter. Mr.. Daily closed
the deal and soon afterwards took
charge of the store, as his partner
wanted to go to the country for a few
days. The first morning DAILY opened
up ne made a discovery. He shifted
the egg cases and found that only the
top layers bore fruit
The rest of the pasteboard holes were
hollow mockeries. SaWdust took the
place of flesh and bone in the ham COW
ers and the rolls of butter were empty
cans rolled in damp cheese cloth. The
four hundred bottles wrapped in pink
tissue paper and supposed to contain
certain wine, proved to be nothing but
filtered water.
But the cruellest sham of all was the
sausages. Thes 1eek brown skins were
filed with wind and each one was bal
lasted to prevent the sausage from
floating up against the ceiling, like a
balloon. 1t was the same way with
everything else. The cans were all
empty and the picked tripe was a de-
fusion and a snare. DAILY has retired
from business and will sell the counter
and shelves at a discount.

The Locomotive Firemen Pass Res

Difficulties.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 22.-Eugene v.
Debs, leader of the American Railway
union and former secretary and treas
urer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, yesterday addressed note
to the biennial convention asking that
he be accorded an audience at the
pleasure of the convention. This note
was received and commented upon in
executive session. A reply was sent to
Mr.. Debs that he would be heard in the
afternoon. Mr.. Debs made his talk and
was followed by Editor w. S. Carter of
the Locomotive Firemen's Magazine,
Grand Master Sargent, Secretary Ar
mold and Chairman Haynes of the
board of trustees. Mr.. Debs invited
Interrogation from the delegates and he
was subjected to a running fire of ques-
lions.
The Debs matter occupied from 4:30
to p. m. About GAS a resolution was
offered generating Mr.. Debs and it was
passed unanimously. Mr.. DebS then
thanked the convention and his closing
remarks which betOken fellowship
and good feeling were received with ap-
plause.

port was concluded this morning, claims

READY FOR A MASSACRE.
If European War Ships HadAdvanced
Turks Would Have Slaughtered
All Christians.

London, Sept. 22.-The Berlin CORES
pondent of the Times quotes a Constan-
tinople dispatch to the VOssiche lei
tung from an unusually well informed
source which is said to have evaded
the censorship of the Turkish officials
and says: Last Wednesday and Thurs
day everything was ready for a general
massacre of Christians and a lombard
ment of COnstantinOple- should the Eur
Opean warships attempt to pass the
Dardenelles.
There were As guns placed in position
on the heights and the Turkish fleet in
the harbor was cleared for action. The
street patrols We're composed exclus-
lively of palace troops while the So
patchis and Kurdish cavalry though
apparently unarmed 1oitered in the
streets waiting the word of command.

just be right for it, he says. Well bet
Cider Smith is off this time.
A Topeka man who is too poor to pay
rent was told by a Laurent street wo-
man who had some vacant lots that if
he would build a house on them to live
in he might have the use of the lots.
A 10-year- daughter of the man i'm
mediately started out with subscrip-
ton paper to assist in the building. She
has been out several days and has so
far raised Is cents.
81. M. Knight of Topeka says the
Atchison Globe, who seems to be
something of a gallant one, sends word
to Atchison that if the pretty girls of
this town wish to ride in the Flower pa
rade at the Topeka Festival, he will
furnish a hack free for them to ride
around in The trouble is that the
Atchison girls are so pretty they
might be stolen.''
A one time there was a large and
f1ourishing lodge of Red Men in Topeka.
There are still several dozen of the
costumes they used to wear in the city
and it is suggested that they be put
into use as a brigade in the Wild West
feature of Carnival night of the Fall
Festival.
It is officially requested that all per
sons or societies who expect to have
floats, carriages or other features in the
Fall Festival Floral parade report them
with description and color of decora-
lions to Mrs. N. Milliken Immediately
at sos Van Buren, street, that they may
be assigned to a place in the parade.
A Topeka woman who is so years old
at least and a member of the Fall Fes-
tival Flower committee insists that she
is going to mask in the Carnival of Fri
day night of Festival week and ''R. II. -
with the rest of 'em. She should be
initiated by others. 1t will be more
fun than most people have seen in ten
years.
The Atchison Globe says: "Atchison
should hump itself; it has Topeka and
Sc, 900 to go against in the Carnival bus
mess" The estimate on Topeka's ex-
penses will go nearer $4,000. Six thou
sand dollars was donated simply by the
! business men. The privileges sold for
enough to run one day with. And then
there are the individual expenses, be-
sides.

Q. s. WON'T MIX IN.
Has No Intention of Intervening in
Turkey With Other Powers

Washington, Sept 22.-From time to
time rumOrs have come from several
sources to the effect that the United
States government had signifed an in
tentiOn of cooperating with one or
more of the great powers, those last
mentioned being Great Britain and
Italy to encompass reforms in the
Turkish empire and prevent further at
tacks upon the Armenian Christians.
TO support these stories a perfectly
routine movement of two of our cruis-
ers has been twisted into an intended
hostile demonstration. It can now be
authoritively stated that it is not con-
templated, nor has it been.
AS was the case in the Brazilian re-
bellion, the United States maintained
a sufficient force near places where
Americans reside in number to insure
their safety but with the aspect of this
or any other European question there
will be no intervention by our govern
ment.

WILL THATCHER COME OFF?
He May Possibly be Taken OF the
New York Ticket.

New York, Sept. 22.-The meeting
of the Democratic state committee calls
ed for tonight is causing much discus
sion and speculation.
Chairman Danforth said this meeting
would simply be to elect a successor to
Sheehan and to attend to the duties of
the campaign. It is rumored, however,
that Senator Coffey, of Kings county,
will voice the sentiments Of the silver
men on the ticket and ask the commit
tee to use the power delegated it by the
state convention and name a new can
dfCiate.
John B. Thatcher has not yet declined
or accepted it, but it is understood he
will act in the matter as the committee
desires. It is because of this serious
situation that Senator Hill is expected
in the city today to take charge of af-
fairs and watch the meeting. It is

Little Girl.

Omaha, Sept 22.-Frank A Smith and
wife of 1917 Burdett street were arrest
ed yesterday by Omaha detectives
charged with assault and battery on
their six-year-old girl. NeighbOrs COM
planned that the child was habitually
confined in a small cell-like closet at
the Smith home and seldom permitted
to leave her quarters.
When the officers reached the house
they forced the doors, the Smiths being
absent and found the child in her cell.
She was a mass of filth and bruises and
told pitiful story of cruelty. A guar
dian was appointed for the child at
once

or enterprise. The one thing above all
others necessary to success in this age
is to become known. That is, a manu-
featured product, a business, or an
enterprise. to be successful must be
known, and such things become known
through advertisement What is true
of a business or manufactured product
is true of a state. What Utah wants
is capital invested in her mines; capital
invested in reservoirs and canals in
order to bring into cultivation her
millions Of acres of now barren lands,
but which only await the magic touch
OF irrigating streams to convert them
into smiling fields where plenty leaps
to laughing life. Utah wants capital
to develop her manufacturing re-
sources, and tens of thousands of peo-
pie as well as capital to aid in the
good work. But how shall we secure
capital for the development of mines,
for the redemption Of desert valleys,
and the development of manufacture
ing resources unless some means shall
be adopted to make known the oppor-
tunities within our borders for safe
and profitable investment Of capital in
all these directions? 1t is something
of a reproach to have comparative
strangers visit our state and to be able
trpthfully to say of the people of Utah
that they do not appreciate the re-
sources of wealth at their very doors,
and that they do not have the public
spirit necessary to expend money to
let the world know what they have as
an inducement for both capital and
people to come to Utah
What Utah wants" said Mr.. Rice
in his Herald interview, 'is more ad-
vertising," and we think he is right.
Advertising, he continues, made
Cripple Creek what it is. and the min
ing men of Colorado will spend ST.
100000 this year in advertising the
mineral resources of the centennial
state" The gentleman made reference
to W. r. Busenbark's suggestion that
Salt Lake City raise $4,000 to adver-
tise the mineral wealth of Utah as
most excellent one, with which The
Herald most heartily concurs; and if
that suggestion Of Mr.. Busenbarks
materializes into actual effort. we hope
that Salt Lakes business men will
have the necessary public spirit to
make of the attempt an easy success.
We must remember that the territory
of Utah has passed away, and with
it all unsettled conditions. The state
of Utah has taken its place. and there
ought to come with statehood more
intense patriotism, and a strong de-
termination to put Utah in the ad-
vanced column of developing states, a
thing only possible to a public spirited
community.
