Charges That He was Robbed in the
Rooms of Young Woman.

near Leconpton, reported to the police
at O'Clock this afternoon that he had
been robbed of SIS in money while in
the apartments of Grace Edgington, on
the second floor of 522 Kansas avenue.
Detective Price was put on the case

ing near the door and she Immediately
turned about and walked rapidly to-
ward Fifth street. At the alley be-
tween Kansas avenue and Quincy
street Price overlook her and placed
her under arrest. When stopped she

began to tremble. She declared that
she had not robbed the young farmer.
She was taken to the police station,
where she was held.
Young Glenn drove to this city this
morning in his buggy. and during the
morning paid a visit to Grace Edging-
tor, who is better known as Mrs. Sam
Edgington, wife of a we'll known gam
bier who used to live in Topeka. 1t
was while there that he claims that all
his money, S15, was taken.
Glenn and an officer went before the
county attorney to secure a warrant
for Grace Edgington's arrest, and she
will probably be turned over to the
state for trial. J. T. Glenn is a tall
young man, rather roughly dressed,
and he wore a large white hat. Grace
Edgington is a very tall blonde.

By Advice of His Physician He
Will Go
To Atlantic City Where He May

Washington, March 25.-President Nc
Kinley is to take a vacation. He will
be forced to it by the horde of hungry
ofhce-seekers now besieging the White
House.
They are there when the doors are
opened in the morning and remain un-
til the president is compelled, through
sheer fatigue, to seek the seclusion of
his private apartments.
The presidents physician has given
imperative orders that he shall rest
briefly from the strain. He will go to
Atlantic City in few days. The pres
identS haggard looks betray the fact
that his vitality is fast becoming eX-
hausted. He gives to- each visitor a
courteous hearing, but the tax on his
strength is very severe.
The warm weather of the past few
days has added to his discomfort and it
has been suggested that he spend an oc-
caSional day in rest at the Seashore or
in the country near the city.
His friends believe that if he does not
take brief outing he Will break down
from Overwork. They maintain that he

nomination last June, and that it is not
in human nature to continue it indefin-

Chicago. March 25.--A mass meeting
of the Western Continental, Ohio River
and Southern Passenger association
lines is in session here today induIging
in an informal discussion of the com

AT ST. LOUIS.
St Louis. March 25.-At an informal
conference of the executive officers, the
traffic mana gers and general solicitors
of the St. Louis lines, the conditions
which confront the railroads in the
light Of the United States supreme
court decision in the case of the old
Transmissouri association, was dis
cussed at length. Col. Fordyce, presi-
dent of the Cotton Belt, was in the
chair.
AS the full text of the decision has not
vet been received, the attorneys were
not disposed to express an opinion as
to its far reaching effects, but they
shared the view taken by the legal de
partmentS of some of the Chicago lines
that it would be we'll a once TO suspend
the operations of the various traffic as

St. Paul is to trade its Fargo Southern

person of New York broker, who pro-
poses to established the retired cham
pion as instructor in a new athletic club
at Gotham. Martin Julian said last
night:
For months we have had plans under

him, only the owner of the building
FitzsimmOnS and myself knew of the
plans.
we propose to give instructions in
all kinds of athletic sports to the best
class of young men. The place will be
fitted up very handsomely with all of
the luxuries and conveniences of a first
class club. 1t will be our purpose to
have from time to time such contests
and exhibitions of athletic skill as may
be interesting to the members of the
club, and we shall offer such induce
ments in the way of purses as will Sc
cure for US the best attractions to be
had.
Nothing. however, will be done that
will in any way conflict with the law.
BY fall the building will be ready for
use. Fencing, rowing, riding, boxing
and every other kind of athletic sport
will be taught. There will be magnifi-
cent baths and luxurious club rooms.

INCENSED AT BRISTOW.
An Article in His Paper that May
Cause Trouble.

The new fourth assistant postmaster
general, j. L. BristoW, is likely to have
trouble when he comes back to Kansas
over an article that appeared in his pa
per, the Ottawa Herald, in regard to the
recount of the ballots in the Riggs
Smart judicial contest before the Kan
sas senate lately.
Mr. Bristow's paper has championed
the cause of c. A. Smart, the Republi-
can candidate from the beginning of the
contest.
1t is said that there is considerable
personal feeling between Judge Riggs
and MIR. BriStow, which has grown out
of some fees that Bristow taxed in cases
when he was clerk of the district court
of Douglas county.
On the first count of the ballots Mr..
Smart was declared elected. Riggs filed
contest proceedings before the senate,
and a recount of the ballots was order
ed.
The recount resulted in Riggs being
declared elected. After some further
skirmishing. Smart give up the office,
and Mr.. Riggs is now the district judge.
Recently Mr.. Bristow's paper printed
the charge that Judge Riggs had tam
pered with the ballots after the first
count and before the recount and that
this was the cause in the change of re-
suits.
This article has made the friends of
Judge Riggs very angry, and it is said
they will have BriStow arrested for
criminal libel upon his return to his
home
When Judge Riggs saw he article he
is quoted as saying:
THE entire article is so absolutely
and Indignantly false in every state
ment and suggestion, and the offense
against the dignity and character of
the judicial office is SO much more ag-
gravated than the offense to me per-
sonally that I do not think ii proper
that l should express myself through a
newspaper interview. For the present
1 leave the defense to the judicial office,
which has been outraged, as well my
own personal vindicatiOn, to those who
know me and who have proper concep-
tiOns as to the manner of dealing with
concerns which SO vitality affect a COM

FIGHTING IN CRETE
Greeks Drive the Turks Out of the
Fortified Post of Malaxa-

Canea. March 25.-The insurgents
made determined attacks upon the
block house, or fort, at MalaX3. OUTSIDE
of Suda today.
During the night the insurgents forces
were pushed forward until they occu-
pied convenient positions for attack,
and about 6 ID. m. the artillery opened
fire upon the Turkish block house. The
pieces of the Christians were served
with admirable prOmptneSS and preciS-
ion that in a short time nothing re-
rnained to the Turks but determination
or evacuation.
The Mussulmans preferring the latter
left the fort and commenced 10 retreat
on Suda relying upon the Turkish war
ships in the bay to save them from the
Christians. The sultanS fleet opened
badly Judged fire upon the insurgents,
in order to cover the retreat from the
block house The shells fell either short
or far beyond the inSurgent forces. Con-
sequently the Christians pushed for
ward steadily pressing hard upon the
rear of the Turks and keeping up con-
tinual skirmish fire. The Turks made
stand now and then, pouring a few
volleys in the direction of the insurgent

ceeded in pushing as far as the vii
lage of Tsikalaria, where they set fire to
some houses.
While the fighting was in progress a

TARIFF ON BEET SUGAR.
Will be Demanded by the Sugar Beet
Growers of the Country.

Chicago, March 25.-COngreSS Will in
all proba bility be called on at an early
date by a committee representing the
sugar beet growers of the country and
asked to give some measure of prOtec-
ton and encouragement to this new
and profitable industry. Nothing would
suit the western farmers, who have
lately engaged in this form of agricul-
ture, better than the creation of taritt
of not less than One-half cent pound
on all sugars and a reciprocal policy
with other sugar producing countries
This is the opinion of c. H Dietrich.
president of the German National bank
of Hastings, Neb-, who is in the city
en- route home.
Mr.. Dietrich is one of the most en-
thusiastic promoters of the sugar beet
industry He has been studying the
subject for the past ten years. convinc-
ed that it is one of the most important
questions before the farmers of the ma
tiOn He has Travelled through Germany,
France. Russia and Austria and made
himself familiar with the wonderful de-
velopment of the business in those
countries, and has gathered a vast fund
of information relating to the methods
of sugar producing abroad
I believe" said Mr.. Dietrich. that
with the proper amount of protection
from the national government, NebraS-
ka and the other western states where
the sugar beet can be grown can be
more greatly benefited than by any
other form of tariff legislation. There
should be a tariff of not less than one
| half cent on all sugars. The recent
! convention of sugar beet growers 1t
| Hastings expressed this opinion in the
| form of a resolution which met with
| but light opposition from the free trad
| erS- / should advocate the adoption of
| this tariff if 1 should appear before the
! committee on ways and means, and
| further suggest that the president and
| the secretary of the treasury be en-
| powered to increase the duty in case
| other countries that pay export boun-
| ties should increase those bounties. or
refuse to enter into reciprocal agree
| ments.'
| Mr. Dietrich points to the fact that
| more than One-half of the worlds sugar
| crop is now being produced from beets
as an indication of the tremendous size
| OF the industry and the right it has to
| demand consideration from the govern
ment- He also notes that there is not
a single sugar producing country in the
world that has not been aided by its
| government in the development OF the
| sugar beet industry. The countries
which have made special advancement
in this line are Germany, Belgium,
| Austria, France. Denmark. New Zea-
| land and the Argentine republic.
