Trial of Thomas Balm and Others Nav
Result DisastrouslY.

Leavenworth, June 1O-The case of
the government against J. E. Day, Dr.
A. M. Edison and T. H. Balm, officers
of the American Investment company,
charged with running a lottery and
using the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses, went to the jury at noon to-
day
Judge Foster took a hand in the ex-
animation of witnesses with all but
sensational results.
Thomas H. Balm of Topeka, ex-presi-
dent of the company, and one of the
defendants, was on the stand in his
own behalf and was under a fierce fire
of cross examination by District At
tOrney Perry. He was getting himself
into a tangle in trying to explain in
response to the district attorneys ques-
tions how the company could pay $3.50
to a policyholder who had contributed
only $125 a month for ten years, when
Judge Foster became interested in the
problem and turned to the witness for
information. The latter was already
somewhat agitated and the interference
of the judge only served to increase his
EN- barrassment.
Turning to the Witness Judge Foster
said: According to your literature,
the pOlicyhOIder pays in SIPS a month
and 81 of that amount goes into the re-
demptiOn fund In ten years, when this
amounts to $12O, he is entitled to $3.50.
Now the question is, where does that
money come from %
The witness explained in a rounda-
bout way that the redemption fund
was largely dependent upon Iapses
That's what 1 want the jury to un-
derstand," said the Judge zone end
of this thing is kept alive by the
sloughlng off at the other end"
Joe Waters, counsel for the defense,
was on his feet in an instant after
Judge Foster finished his examination
of the witness. He evidently feared
that the case of the defense was be
ing badly damaged and was inclined to
be angry. 1T is not true" said he
that the present company has sent
out any such literature, and I think I
have right to object to the remarks
of the court
But the court paid no heed and Dis
trict Attorney Perry resumed his cross
examination. Witness admitted that
he had no knowledge of the company's
funds being invested in any way.

CHINESE A CURIOSITY.
Family at K c. Union Depot Attract
Much Atten ton.

Kansas City, June 1O.-Ge Lee Chang,
a Chinese merchant of San Francisco,
and his wife and five children, formed
the center of attraction at the union de-
pot for several hours yesterday
During their brief sotOurn at the de-
pot the members of the party were con-
stantly surrounded by a crowd of peO
pie, many of whom had never before
seen a Chinese woman or child. The
women, especially, crowded about the
children and scrutinized their features.
their tiny pigtails, quaint jackets and
wooden shoes, and piled them with num-
erous questions, which elected no an
swers.
Finally the curiosity of the crowd be-
came obnoxious to Mr.. Chang and he
appealed to Depot Master Hanthorn for
protection.
1.-The people of Kansas City evidently
are not familiar with the appearance of
people of our nationality" he said.
Their curiosity is embarrassing to my
wife and myself, and 1 would appreciate
it if you would ask the crowd to dis
perse.'
