ADOPT AFABIAN POLICY.
New FORK Mutual Life Will Not Act
on the Offensive.

Webb McNaH is not to be arrested for
contempt of the federal court in refusing
to issue a license to the Mutual Life IN
surance company of New York This
much has been decided upon by the attor-
neys for the company.
This company, although its license was
revoked almost year ago, has never
ceased doing business in the state and
will continue to disobey the state law and
the rulings of the state officers. If Mr.
NIcNan attempts to arrest any of the
agents for soliciting business without
license from the department, he will be
cited for contempt.
The conference of attorneys for the
company arrived at this conclusion, and
they will simply wait until McNau takes
more definite steps against them.
The attorneys for the company in To
peka deny that such agreement was
reached, but there is every reason to be
lieve that it has been

FATHER wGLYNN RESTORED.
Will Return to New York and Work
for Henry George.

New York, Oct. PA sensation was
created in political and Roman Catholic
circles by the announcement that Father
McGlynn had made his final peace with
Archbishop COrrigan and is to return to
an important parish in this city. 1t was
because of alleged INSTRUMENTATION re-
garding his connection with Henry George
that Father McGlynn was unfrocked ten
years ago.
Since his return to good standing in the
priesthood, Father McGlynn has had a
parish at Newburg, but it has been an
open secret that his fOndest desire has
been to return to New York. This an
nouncement created unbounded enthusi-
asm among his friends. and as he is open
in his support of Henry George, this
move. it is claimed by the friends of the
latter. cannot fail to have an influence
on the election.
It will be remembered that when the
priest was deposed from st. Stephens
church and disciplined for agitating for
Henry George, against the explicit orders
of the archbishop, he was afterward re-
stored to the priesthood through the good
offices of Mgr. Satolli.

FRANK BRUCE GEE GOES.
Is Taken Away by an Omaha Police
Captain

A T. Sigwit of Omaha arrived in To-
peka yesterday having in his posses
sion requisition papers from Governor
Silas A. Holcomb of Nebraska, to Gov
ernOr J. w. Leedy for the removal of
Frank Bruce Gee who is wanted at
Omaha on the charge of grand larceny.
The agent of Scribner's Sons, the pub
fishers claims Mr.. Gee stole S1O0 worth
of books from the firm.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Sigwit and
Chief of Police Henry NJ. Steele went
to the governors office and presented
the papers. Governor Leedy hOnOred
the papers. Mr.. Sigwit left this morn
ing for Omaha with Frank Bruce Gee.
Mr.. Sigwit was formerly the chief of
police of Omaha, but through political
changes was promoted" to the posi-
tiOn of captain of the force. He has
been in the service 16 years and is we'll
known throughout the country as
criminal catcher.
Mr.. Gee decided not to fight the re-
QUESTION papers, giving as his reason:
When 1 get to Omaha 1 can explain
my case satisfactorily and be acquit-
ted. I think I could have gotten out
here if I had tried, but they might
have thought it looked suspicious, so I
will go quietly to Omaha and face the
case"

OFFERED WALES a LIGHT.
Figaro Says That is the Extent of
CroKer's Intimacy

London, Oct. 23.-The Greater New York
election amenities are followed here with
considerable interest, and especially the
presentation of Mr.. Richard Croker as a
crony of the Prince of Wales.
The London Figaro on the subject says:
THE impudence of the New York poll
ticians is laughable to those who know
the extent of the Prince of Wales ac-
quaintance with the Tammany chief.
When Croker brought his race horses
here he was introduced to Wales in the
character of a great supporter OF the
turf. Immediately. however, the running
of the American horses fell under suspi-
cion and Croker was dropped from the
royal circle like hot potato. As it was,
Croker never progressed further in inti-
macy with the Prince of Wales than on
one occasion to offer him light for his
cigar"

BOSTON SYNDICATE LAND.
Foreclosure on Another Big Section
of'It.

Foreclosure suits We're filed today on 200
acres of the tract of land owned by the
Topeka Land Development company. This
is the land between Topeka and Martins 5
Hill. There are four suits, all brought
in the name of Joseph s Kicker Two
are for 5000 each. one is for $4,000 and
the other is for $4,000. The land was
plated but was never built on The
original tract included over 1000 acres.
The land was laid out with winding
streets and it was expected to make it an
aristocratic suburb of Topeka, but the
hopes of the Topeka Land and Develop
ment company went down with thousands
of others when the bottom dropped out of
the boom and the land upon which fore
closure suits were commenced today
would probably not sell for enough to
pay the face of the mortgage.

DISPUTE OVER FACTS.
Did Mr.. Palenske Get the Whole
Truth When He Investigated

Mr.. I. Palenske writes the Journal
that he has visited the insane asylum
and that he has been convinced that his
ward. Fritz Redemski, has not been
wrOngfully treated
On October 7th. the Journal printed
an account of the cruel treatment one
of the patients employed in the kitchen
had received at the hands of Cook Will
son and others. Mr.. Palenske saw the
account and came to Topeka to investi-
gate the matter and see if his ward had
been abused.
In his letter to the Journal he says
that DR.. c. H. Wetmore, superintend-
ent of the asylum, assured him that the
statements were ''falsehood from be
ginning to end" The Journal reporter
who wrote the original story yesterday
inquired of an officer at the asylum if
the statements were true as printed in
the Journal He replied that REDEEM
ski had been knocked down and that
the Journals original story was true.

The entrance of the Rev. Mr.. Park
hurst as a cOmbatant is one of the
notable incidents of the campaign. DR.
Parkhurst is in Switzerland, but he has
written a letter on the issues of the
canvass He finds himself supporting
Low in spite of the latter's avowed op-
position to sumptuary laws. What the
clergyman finds to approve most in the
college president is his declaration of
independence of party and individual
dictatiOn. To DR.. Parkhurst's thinking,
"P1attism," as he terms the Republi-
can organization, is more to be con-
demned than "Crokerism,' which rep
resents the regular Democracy in the
municipal campaign.
If the last one of the 561, 900 registered
voters of Greater New York is not out
at the polls on November 2, it will not
be for lack of eXhOrtation, and that of
all shades and degrees of eloquence It
is doubtful if there was ever a local
canvass in which men of more note took
active part than are participating in
the pending campaign.

Exceptionally Large Registration for
an "OR Year in Politics.

When the registration books closed at 3
O'Clock last night the records indicated
that S531 certificates had been issued.
Deputy Commissioner Wagner said to-
day that while there have been that many
certificates issued it does not follow that
there have been that many voters regis
tered. There are undoubtedly many dupli-
Gates out and when it. comes to checking
up the books these will be discovered
Mr.. Wagner places the number of dupli-
Gates at between 300 and 400, which will
leave the actual registration at about g.
200
The registration is considered an ex-
ceptionally large one for an off year
Four voters were five minutes late last
night and were refused registration.
