have to depend on friends to get out
of town or stay here. The Los Angeles

LANDED IN KANSAS, TOO.
A Lot of These Children, Sometimes
Diseased, Being Brought Here.

The following letter appears in the
Council Grove Courier addressed TO the
editor:
fully agree with you in your position
in regard to the car load of New York
waits soon to be distributed in our COM
munity.
While. as you say, the sentiment &C
tuating the movement is seemingly
good, the practical results can hardly
be otherwise than disappointing.
I, of course. know nothing of the in
dividuals composing the consignment
soon to be made, but unless they are
morally very, very much above those of
other like consignmentS it is not likely
that one in ten of them will be benefited
and who can estimate the evil that is
likely to result to our own children
through association with this class.
We have as bright and pure children
as there is on earth and our first con-
sideration should be for their interests.
Some of them are orphans, or unfor-
tunate otherwise, and we have a state
society, which is trying to provide for
their welfare, and 1 think. we should
give this association our loyal and
hearty support until every unfortunate
Kansas child is provided for before we
invite or accept any of this class from
New York, who in most cases are Simp-
ly the spawn of their brothels.
New York nor any other state is anx-
ious of getting rid of their desirab BILE
population.
1t is unreasonable to expect that
child born and raised in sin and crime
16 years can be transformed into a de-
sirable citizen in two years, no matter
how good the surroundings. Expert
ence teaches that many of them will
either be back to their old haunts or in
Jail as soon as they can conveniently
get there
If New York, with all her wealth, is
still too poor or too selfish to provide for
her own offspring and the people of

desire to relieve them of that duty, it

purity of our children and the welfare

of doing SO without bringing our own

class is conta minated.
It may be that the committee of dis
tribution is using every means TO see
that the consignment in question con-
tains no Objectionable members. I
know that other communities have
been grossly imposed upon and there

ESCAPADE OF AN HEIRESS.
Rein ed Girl Who Loved Liquor Met
With a Downfall

Atlanta, Ga, July 13.-The efforts of
the small army of detectives who have
been working on the case have left
nothing to be discovered regarding the
Echols and her equally strange discov-
cry except the identity of the man in
VOlved.
The full story of the escapade of this
beautiful and accomplished young wo-
man is now known. 1t shows that Miss
EcholS has been feminine DR.. Jek-
VII and Mr.. Hyde, although her willful
wrong doing has been limited to an over
indulgence in strong drink.
Investigation has shown that the girl
is addicted to liquor to an extent which
would seem almost unaccountable in
the case of a professional drunkard.
Unknown to her parents and her friends
she has been securing large quantities
of whisky from wholesale houses in the
city under an assumed name, and has
been consuming it at a rate which is
not only wonderful in a physical sense,
but more than wonderful in that she
was able to keep her secret for SO long
a time.
There is no longer any doubt now that
Miss Echols was under the influence of
liquor when she left her mothers coun-
try place at Lithia Springs and came to
Atlanta la Wednesday. 1t is believed
that she came here to get more and to
return at once, because she went i'm
mediately to the cafe of a fashiona BILE
restaurant and sent a messenger boy
of liquor dealers whose regular custo-
mer she had been.
She secured more liquor and late al
night was wandering about the streets
hopelessly intoxicated. Some man met
her and took her to the hotel at which
she was found yesterday. He registered
her as Mrs. William Anthony, Mobile,
Ala and there is every reason to be-
lieve that he took her for a woman of a
character very remote from that of his
unfortunate victim. He kept the girl
plentifully supplied with liquor, and
from Wednesday noon until Friday
night not a morsel of food passed her
lips. The man evidently saw the SEN
sational publications in the local news
papers about the missing girl, and rec
ognized her published portrait, for
when he left her at 1 o'clock on Friday
he left for good, although he had prom
ised to return at once
The physicians say that she would
have died had her rescue been delayed
another day. AS it is, she is seriously
ill and in stupor. which it is feared
will end in brain fever. As soon a. she
has recovered she will go to Europe, and
may live there hereafter.

NEW YORK'S NEW THEATER
It Will Open in the Fall Under the
Direction of Charles B. Cochran.

New York, July 13.-New York will
have in the fall a new theatre, formed
on the model of Archer's in London and
of Lugne Poe's in Paris, theatre de-
voted to poetry and to the ideal; a
theatre where may be presented, with
their true spirit, tragedy, comedy and
pantomlne, which contains all fantasy.
1t was created at a meeting of men
of letters and art lovers. 1t has money
which the Maecenas of Lord de Tabley,
William Watson, Richard LIE Caffeine,
Aubrey Beardsley and several other
daring artists OF the new generation
have given. Its director is Charles B.
Cochran, who was for three years Rich
ard Mansheld'S manager. 1t is to be
called the Independent Theatre.
1t will place at the poets disposition
all the palaces, all the cities, all the for
eSts, all the landscapes; it will change
sites and scenes as quickly as thoughts
and it will be in three tiers.
The Independent Theatres play house
will be small. Yet it will have TO pay
for innumerable decorations. pompous
costumes, amusing and brilliant Access
sories, the list of which is endless
1t will live on capital furnished by
James Lane of London; Walling, the
lover of art, of Boston; two or three
New Workers, whose names are for the
moment withheld, and a Philadeiphian;
and on subscriptions to a season of
performances the sum of which Mr..
Cochran has figured already.
Mr.. Cochran said: I'VE do not in
leHQ To restrict ourselves TO the per-
Torrance of American plays. We want
to encourage them, if we can, but our
test will not be a geographical one. 1t
will be purely artistic. The first play
which the Independent Theatre intends
to give is Ibsen's John Gabriel Bork-
man. which William Archer has trans
lated. know Professor Brander Matt

and the stage is another, but I believe
that this is an objective criticism. 1t

ume of western freights- where he chose,
and so control the Central anyhow. To
get the money he sold stock of the New
York Central, J. P. Morgan and ]. s.
Morgan & Co. of London bought 40.000, 600
of the stock at something like 142. Then
the English took more of it. But the
English holders could not interfere with
Morgan. Under the English system the
bankers control the stock. From that
time out there has been a hand-and-glove
alliance between Morgan and the Wander
bilts. They have aided him in getting
his iron grasp upon the coal roads.
Mr.. Morgan corralled Reading and New
England after McLeods scheme of a
through trunk line from Boston to the
west collapsed. He has built upon Nc
Leod's idea, until, today, with New Eng
land, Reading, Jersey Central and the
Southern he has almost continuous
line straight down the coast.
This does not take into account, of
course, the roads which penetrate the
west.
1t is said to be the bankers one great
ambition now to control the Baltimore
and Ohio, and al he is the leading spirit
in the reorganization it is believed to be
only a question of time when that prop
erty will come into his possession.

OPPOSITION TO YOUNGERS.
People of Mortified, Mimi, Protest
Against Pardon.

Mortified, Mimi, July 13.-The oppo-
sition to the pardon of the Youngers,
Cole and Jim, now under life sentence
in the Saltwater penitentiary. grows
greater every day. Since 1t has been
known here that many prominent Mis-
souri, people have signed a petition for
the Youngers' pardon every effort has
been made to get prominent MinneSo-
tans to sign a contemplation.
Nothing that has happened since the
day of the famous raid of the Younger
and James boys on the bank here has
excited the people to such an extent
as the proposed pardoning- One of
the petitions which will be forwarded
to the board of pardons when it meets
at Saltwater to consider the case of
Cole and Jim reads as follows:
Knowing that a large petition, sign
ed by the governor of the state of Mis-
souri, and a StupendOus list of tllustri-
Gus names, has been sent you in behalf
of Cole and Jim Younger, asking for
their pardon, the undersigned wish to
enter a protest against it. If you will
wait but a few days we will endeavor
to send a petition signed by every man,
woman and child in Minnesota.
I'VE wish to say to the pardoning
board that no man can be less deServ-
ing of pardon than Cole Younger. He

Mortified bank robbery, but also his
extreme cruelty to wounded and help
less prisoners of war whom he captur-
ed. We attach the statement of John
McMath of Minneapolis, a veteran of
the civil war, and man well known
for his veracity. We ask your conSid-
Grafton of his story in considering the
pardon
McMath tells of having been captured
on October %, 1863, by men dressed in
federal uniforms, but who proved to be
southern bushwhackers, chief among
whom were the James and Younger
brothers. He says he was shot by
Cole Younger while held as a prisoner,
and was struck with a stone by an
other of the party
