Salina Has a Scandal I'm the
City Administration.
Marshal Charged With Keeping
Money He Collected.
TAX LEVIED ON VICE.
Was to Be Used For Street Fair
Fund.
General News From All Over
the State.

Salina, Oct. 19.-This city is to have a
LexoW committee to investigate
charges of Doodle made against City
Marshal James Gilbert by Councilman
Taylor Miller.
The last meeting of the city council
ended in a sensational manner. Coun-
Gilman Miller openly charged MarSnaI
Gilbert with collecting $12S from disre-
putable women and failing to report It
or turn it into the city treasury lie
then offered resolution providing Tor
Marshal Glbert'S suspension until the
charges against him can be fully IN
Vestigared.
1t appears that Mr.. Gilbert was in
structed by some one to levy a tax OF
SIG head on each inmate of the ques-
tionable resorts in the north end of the
city. This money was to be turned over
to the street fair association. When the
police judges report was read at the
council meeting it showed that money
had only been collected from ten Wo-
men. The amount was SIG each, max
ing a total of $3.50.
AS soon as the report was read Mr-
Miller took the floor and said that he
was in possession of positive evidence
that Marshal Gilbert had collected $16
apiece from Is women, making tota!
of $2SS, and asked what had become OF
the remaining $128 He also asked II
Mr.. Gilbert had authority to hold up
people without warrant and put the
money in his pocket. Continuing, he
who does that kind of business?"
When Mr. Miller introduced his res
olution to suspend the marshal, City
Attorney Wilson called attention to the
fact that an elective officer could not he
suspended. After considerable discus
sion Mayor Roach appointed a commit
tee consisting of Councilmen Powers,
Puriton and Quincy, to investigate the
charges.
The committee is said to be hostile to
Gilbert, and will go to the bottom Of
the charges.
With reference to the proposed in
vestigation, Marshal Gilbert said to-
day:
fI am in no way uneasy about the
outcome of this investigation. want
the investigating committee to go to
the bottom of this affair. They viii find
that every dollar of the fines I collected
were turned into the city treasury.
1.-The only thing I regret about the
whole affair is that such an action was
taken in my absence. Last night I was
at the bedside of my mother and have
been most of today. am in no condf-
tion to work or talk concerning this
matter. 1t emanates, I am sure, from

some time. I am sure could name the

Gus reasons. Another officer was with
me when I collected the money. If I
had wanted to steal any of it I would
have taken all of it,"

LEFT HIS BRIDE.
But First Robbed Her Brother While
Preparing For the Wedding.

Pittsburg, Oct 19.-The city authori-
ties have received a message from the
police of New Orleans stating that they
have captured Frank Venuto, the Ital-
ian who is wanted in this county for
robbing Joe CharOSa, or CarOSa Gu1Sep-
pi of 500 about three weeks ago.
Nenuto is the first Italian that has
committed a crime in this county,
whose capture has ever been effected
by the authorities.
Charosa came over from his home
at Chicopee as soon as he found that
he had been robbed and that the thief
had left and he told his tale of woe
into the ear OF Officer Howe, Marshal
Webb being out of the city. Howe had
cards printed and sent them out to all
the large cities and to mining camps all
over the country believing that the
thief would get among his countrymen
as soon as possible.
The cards We're sent to cities on every
line of railroad among other places to
New Orleans, and there he was very
soon located by the local officers, Mr..
Howe having given them a tip that the
fellow was inseparable from a guitar
that he carried. They spotted Venuto
in a music hall.
He was in this section only about five
weeks before he skipped out and during
that time he had made many friends
and he made his home with Charosa
and his family at Chicopee. Here he
courted the sister of Charosa and on
the very day he left the family all
came in to do some shopping prepara-
tory for the wedding.
While they We're gone from home
Venuto stole about 800 from a trunk
and when the family returned he took
his guitar and came to Pittsburg pre-
tending that he wanted to have his pic
ture taken. He did not return.
For several days the young woman
was broken hearted and constantly
cried and every day the brother was
compelled to come to Pittsburg to learn
if he had been captured by the police
His countrymen will spend hundreds of
dollars to convict him and have him
punished as he deserves.

MUST PAY LICENSE.
Premium Stamp Company Cannot Be
Taxed Out of Existence.

The premium stamp business is ap-
parently here to stay. According to a
decision handed down today by Judge
Hook in the injunction proceedings
brought against the city to prohibit it
from collecting a license from the
stamp company and the merchants
using the stamps, the court decided
that the business is a legal one and
that the city can not place an exorbit-
ant license upon it. Judge Hook fur
ther decided that the city can not
place a, license on the merchants using
the stamps, nor upon any other gifts
which the merchants may give away
This means that the city can collect
the license from the stamp concern.

OUR ACCUMULATED WEALTH

TFrom the New York Journal
The very latest treasury returns,
which bring the figures down to the
end of September, show that the extra
ordinary tide of trade which is trans
forming us from a debtor into a cred
itor nation, is sweeping on in un-
diminished volume. For the month of
September our excess of exports was
sS9, ,976 500, and for the year ending with
that month it was s543, 975, DBL
The prosperity of the country has led
70 a great increase of imports within
the past nine months. Last month we
bought goods from foreigners to the
extent of SIC, ,461, 1886. But we sold $110,-
ar, ,sS5 worth, which was more than we
ever exported before in any September
in our history. We exported more in
that single month than in whole year
as late as 1916.
In the four years ending September
80, 1899, our exports of merchandise ex-
ceeded our imports by no less than
81, ,6S5, 552, 1873. AS part payment for our
goods we have had net imports of
about $1O0, OO0, 600 in coin and bullion,
our tourists abroad have probably
spent S400, 900, 600, and we have paid a
good deal to foreigners for freight
charges on our products. But after
making all deductions We must have at
least 81, 600, 900, 600 more to our credit
in the worlds ledger now than we had
four years ago.
There were only two ways in which
this balance could be liquidated-by
the return of American securities from
abroad, and by the creation of new
obligations from foreigners to US. Both
have been adopted. In other words.
we have been getting out of debt our
selves and have been lending money
to Europe.

in South Africa there may be gold ship
ments from New York to England, If
SO, the money viii be lent, not drawn
from US against our win, as in the
dark days of 1893 and the succeeding
years. It will help still further to
strengthen our position as a creditor
nation.
The return of our securities within
the past four years has been doubly
beneficial It has helped to make us
the proprfetors of our own resources,
and It has checked to some extent the
extravagant speculation that has been
dangerous enough at the best But if
the currents of trade continue to run in

SHANGHAI WAREHOUSE
To Be Erected by National Assoeia-
tion of Manufacturers.

Philadelphia. Oct. 19.-With reference
to the warehouse which the National
Association of Manufacturers is to
establish in Shanghai, China, President
Theodore G. Search makes the follow
ing statement:
For more than six months past the
National Association of Manufacturers
has been making preparations for the
establishment in Shanghai of a large
warehouse for the display and sale of
American goods made by the members
of the association and we have ad-
vanced so far with our plans that we
shall probably be able to open the
warehouse for business about the first
of the year.
I'VE have no thought of erecting a
building as has been stated in the pa
pers and there is no connection what
ever between the American warehouse
in Shanghai and the national export
association in Philadelphia, or the Phil
adelphia Commercial museums. There
is no intention to take exhibits from
the exposition to our warehouse in
Shanghai and none of the exhibitors
has been approached with any such
proposition. The warehouse in Shanghai
is exclusively an affair of the National
Association of Manufacturers and it's
facilities will be available only to our
own members, a large number of whom
have already contracted for space for
the display of their samples.
THE warehouse will contain two de-
partments, one for the display of goods
and the other for making sales. The
financial arrangements which have been
made in the United States and in China
viii permit the transaction of all business
upon a cash basis and any goods that
may be sold through the warehouse will
be paid for at the time of shipment from
the United States. The association itself
viii not undertake any business transac-
uons but the selling department will be
conducted under the supervision and con-
troll of the association and every provis-
ion will be afforded for the protection of
its members and for promoting their bus
mess.
Il regard this movement on the part of
the association as the most important
step that ever has been taken in China
with a view to the extension of American
trade in that country. 1t will be entirely
an American institution from beginning
to end This warehouse will be the sec
ond in a series of such establishments,
which the association has undertaken.

GOVERNOR TO SPEAK
Billed to Address Young Women's
Christian Association Convention.

Emporia, Oct. 19-The opening ses-
sion of the annual state convention of
the Young Woman's Christian associa-
tion is being held in the First Presby-
terian church today. The convention
will last until Sunday evening, October
p, when the farewell services will be
held. Governor Stanley will speak dur
ing the session. At these several ser
vices the best talent that the state as
sociation affords viii appear on the
program. The work of this association
has more than ordinary interest. as the
work that it does and the object it
stands for are familiar to all. In Kan
sas the work is progressing rapidly and
is extending into every town of any
size. The association is stronger this
year than ever before. At the conven-
tion this week full reports of the pro-
gress will be given and preparations
made for greater usefulness during the
coming year.

ELMWOOD CLUB HOME.
Foster Residence Will Probably be
Leased.

The Elmwood club, Topeka's family
organization, will lease either the Man
speaker residence at the corner of
Tenth avenue and Harrison street or
the Foster home at the corner of Elev-
enth and Harrison streets as a club
house for the ensuing year. The pros
poets are that the Foster residence will
be decided on.
A committee of which DR.. L. G. Was
son is the chairman was appointed at
the meeting of the board of directors
last night to visit both residences and
decide on either one or the other. Mrs.
Foster has proposed to lease the house
to the club completely furnished, and
for this reason it will probably be the
one taken.
At the meeting last night the club
perfected organization by electing Off
GERS. DR.. L. c. Wasson was named as
president, Judge T. F. Carver, vice
president, Frank Bonebrake, treasurer
and Will Whitton, secretary.
The club has now 1872 members, and
there are sufficient additional applica-
tiOns to increase the number to the
limit of $50. The plan will be tested
by leasing a club house for a year, and
if at the end of that time the organiza-
tiOn is a success arrangements will be
made to build a permanent home.
