PIE HUNTERS WERE "WoRKED." ("
Persuaded to Pay 81 Entrance Fec,
Only to Find 1t n Waste
of Cash

Topeka, Kas., Dec. 1T.-[Special.) The
scheme adopted by the Populst state CEN
trail committee of levying an assessment of
81 on each of the applicants for Office under
the incoming administration threatens to
cause trouble. and 1t may be abandoned
1t is regarded by the pie hunters as high
way robbery in a mild form. They made
no objection to it. however, until they dis
covered that Governor-elect Leedy was not
in on the deal. and that he was opposed to
it. 1t seems that Leedy was not consulted
about the scheme. The committee went
ahead and adopted it without even asking
him if it would be satisfactory. Then the
word was given out that all pie hunters
must contribute before their names could
reach the ears of the Cover nor-elect. This
caused II big furry among the hungry
horde. They all wanted to pay at once
so their names would go to Mr.. Leedy first
1t was pretty hard work for some of them
to rake up the necessary entrance fee but
they did it. Now they find that the pay
ment of the fee has nothing whatever to do
with getting their names before the gov
ernor and some of them have demanded
their dollar back. A close friend of Mr..
Leedy says that when he Leedy) first
heard of the scheme, he used some very
choice "cuss words" in expressing himself
on the hold up and that he ia even
more emphatic now in his denunciation of
It than he was then. 1t is said that he has
given outword quietly that the best thing
for the pie hunters to do is to fail to con-
tribute.
When the committee started the system
It claimed that 1t was in debt about $500.
There Is discrepancy somewhere Ac-
cording to the election expense statement
filed with the clerk of Shawnee county by
Treasurer Alien, the state committee had
balance on hand of something over $3.50
at the close of The campaign. This balance
however, includes 800 which the committees
claims Leedy owes as his campaign assess
ment. With this out, there would still be
balance on hand in the treasury, and

ADAMS WAS ROBBED.
LeavenwOrth Morphine Victim 5000
ShOrt-He and His Daughter
Under Police Protection.

Leavenworth, Kas., Dec. IT.-(Special.)
Frank P. Adams, of AdamsvilIe, Tenn.
who yesterday morning almost died from
the effects of morphine, alleged to have
been administered by his divorced wife and
her brother, Billy Houston, proprietor of a
Ilace called the Houston hotel, has re-
covered sufficiently to, talk. He is of a
wealthy family of Adamsville, and to-day
Adams father, asking him to look after
his case. Adams, who came here at the
solicitation of his divorced wife, accom-
panied by his daughter, Myrtle, had con-
siderable money. The girl carried drafts
aggregating 1,722, and he himself had $500
in currency. which he carried in belt
worn next to his person. When he recov-
cred from the effects of the morphine, this
money was found to be missing from the
belt. Tonight, Adams sent for officers,
saying an, attempt had been made to-day
to give him laudanum. His young daugh
ter almost exhausted from her constant
vigil. asked for protection. and Deputy
Sheriff Mcdonald was detailed to remain
by Adams bedside. The young girl sus-
poets the party who robbed her father. but
will not tell, for fear of her life. until he
is removed from the Houston house and
beyond the reach of her mother and uncle.
Tomorrow Adams will be removed to
hospital and the girl will cause arrests to
be made with a view to recovering the
missing money. The divorced wife of Ad-
ans seems little concerned.

A similar resolution of confidence was

NEGROES ATTACKED BY WHITES
Mob and Twelve of Them
Wounded.

Texarkana. Ark. Dec. IA highly re-
spectacle white citizen of Lafayette county
brings information regarding bloody as
sault made at Garfield. Il small lumber
town in that county, on Saturday night by
Il mob of white mill hands on the camp
occupied by colored Iaborers The negroes
were employed by the Garfield Lumber
Company and notice was served on some
of them Saturday afternoon by white men
that they must leave the mill or suffer the
consequences. No attention was paid to
the threats by the negroes and they re-
tired Saturday night in their shanties near
the MILL
During the night the shanties We're sur.
rounded by a mob of white men and u
volley of shots fired into them. The no
groes jumped from their hunks ana ran
for the woods, another Yolley being fired
into them as they ran. Twelve negroes
were brought down wounded, some of
whom will die. The mob then dispersed
and the negroes were leHt without medical
attention until morning. Those of the ne
groes who escaped have left the vicinity.
An almost exactly similar assault was
made on Sunday night on a party of ne
groes at Frostville, in the same county, in
which nine negroes were shot with bird
shot and badly wounded. The only cause
for the shootingS so far as is known, is the
determination on the part of the whites to
run the negroes out of the county and
prevent them from. working around the
mills.

AN APPEAL FOR CUBA.
Cnha LcnEnc of the United states Is
sues 81 Stirring Address TO
fI,r. pennIe.

New York Dec 1T.-President Ethan AL
ion. cf the Cuban League OF the United
States. has issued an address ito the peo-
ple Of the United States,' asking for such
aid and comfort as may be found In the
open expression OF sympathy and legal ma
terial support.
The address recites that the United States
government and people stand indicted be-
fore the civilized world as tolerating the
prosecution Of an inhuman ard barbarous
war against cuba: that in permitting Spain
the use of our ports foF her ships of war
this nation is helping the strong against
Tho weak, and while preserving II nominal
neutrality is actually partisan of tyr
annical power; and that alleged failure to
protect american citizens in Cuba is re-
garded by other people as evidence of i'm
potency on the part OF this government.
The address SAYS:
I'VE cannot shield ourselves behind stat
utory phraseology from the odium of not
fulfilling our natural obligations toward a
people struggling TO be free. Let us so
speak that the executive of this nation and
our representatives in congress shall rec
oeniEe Cuban independence and all will be
r1ght. We are not required to raise bat
talions or TO furnish ships of war but we
are called upon TO declare that the heart
OF the nation is with the oppressed Cubans
and then. with her independence acknowI-
edged. her army may obtain from us, as
required, the equipments OF war, as Spain
has done heretofore"
Concluding, the address says: "In CRATE
1ul fecolleCIon of those who crossed the
ocean to help our fathers a century ago,
let us do now what is necessary to en-
courage those who are repeating the story
OF Washington and his patriots From
the North and the South, the East and
the West. let one united voice proclaim in
dependence for the patriots. and young
Crha, powerful because of this. shall
scourge the assailant from her shores and
take her place with us in the families of
republics"
