CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
N. N. Butler Says Missouri Pacific
Ought to Be BoycOtted.

NJ. n. Butler, who was chairman of
the Prohibition party state central
committee last year, wants the temper
ance people of Kansas to boycott the
Missouri Pacific railway He gives his
reasons in the following communication
which he has written to the State Jour
nal:
All efforts to secure those courtesies
that were being thrown right and left
last fall to Republican resubmissiOn
and Democratic cOmpaigners, were ut
terly refused to prohibition speakers
and law and order workers by the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway. The shameful
fact is that this powerful system has a
big beer 'ad' at the top, and a glazing
tobacco 'ad' at the bottom of every
page of its time cards and folders.
sober temperance people, and eS-
pecialiy W. c. 7. u women, Christian
EndeavOrers, and church members, as
we'll as the general public, should re-
sent this disgraceful business, Haunted
in their faces at every Missouri Pacific
railway station. Give this company no
tice that the illegal. reasonable liquor
traffic must not be thus endorsed and
abetted in state where that traffic is
an outlaw, and that it viii pay in the
end to deal square with prohibition
campaigners who are opposing the
criminal traffic. To patrOnize such a
railway is to approve to that extent its
business methods. The public should
know these things. A railroad that puts
temptation before its employees and
then bOunces them for drinking, de-
serves the contempt of all honest peo-
pie"

WAS LOGAN MURDERED?
Report That Some of His Own Men
Shot the Major

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. Eff the
stories are true told by those who re-
turned on the transport Sheridan, which
carried the Thirty-third infantry to the
Philippines, Major John A. Logan, jr,
may not have met his death at the
hands of a Filipino sharpshooter, as
cable stories have reported
According to the statement of George
H. Koppitz, purser of the Sheridan, sup
ported by others of the crew of the
transport Logan was shot by some of
his own men. 1t is hard to believe that
any American soldier would carry his
hatred of an officer so far as to wait
for favorable opportunity to cover his
treacherOus deed and then shoot him
down, but this is What is alleged to
have occurred in LOgan's case
Purser KOppitz was disinclined to go
into particulars regarding the young
majors taking off, as he did not like
the idea of talking i'll of a dead man.
but on being pressed to explain some
of the circumstances, he said:
Major Logan made himself particu-
larly offensive to men by his overbear-
ing manner toward those under him,
and this feeling was heightened by an
incident which occurred ore day out
at sea. Major logan had a pet dog,
to which he was very much attached.
One of the soldiers also had a dog.
which was looked upon as a sort of
mascot among the men. 1t happened
that the two dogs got into a fight and
Logan ) canine came out OF the SCr1nl-
mage worse for the encounter. Logan
was 50 angered that he seized the SOL
dier's dog and threw him overheard.
This action only served to make
feeling mora bitter against the officer,
and the threat was openly made and
repeated many times on the trip over,
that Logan would not last after his
first battle
The fact is pointed out by men who
returned on the Sheridan that the ca BILE
accounts of just how Major Logan re-
ceived his wound in the battle of the
Thirty third infantry at San Fabian are
rather vague, and they think this is sig
nificant

they viii set you down at any time, but
in England they use more cOnsidera-

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

It is always interesting to chronicle
the success of a clever production, be
it comedy, drama or tragedy, and when
a popular actor succeeds in presenting
a play which contains the principles of
both comedy and drama and to have
it so carefully staged and played as to
receive the cOnmeudatiOn of a nation
al press, the production must certainly
possess merit Such has been the re-
ceptiOn and verdict accorded Lewis
Morrison so far this season wherever
he has appeared in his new spectacular
comedy Frederick the Great" In it
Mr. Morrison essays the role of the
stern and crafty king, and his imper-
sonation is acknowledged to be the peer
of that wonderful delineation he gave
OF '.Mephisto' in Faust" 1t is safe
to predict his reception here will evil

MANY CAUSES
Contribute to a Decline In the Price
of Stocks.

New York, Dec. 12.-Prices of stocks
have moved dOwnwards throughout the
week. with only occasional rallies with
bear covering movements when profits
became attractive The industrials
have been the principal sufferers under
the combined influence of tight money
prospects, the AddystOn Iron Pipe de-
cisiOn by the supreme court, adverse to
the legation of an agreement to main
tain prices, the pressions, unfriendly
to Industrial combinations in the presi-
dents message and the apprehension of
a clamOr against trusts in the com
ing political campaign, heavy demands
on the money market for treasury
payments and renewed demand for cur
renCy in the south made necessary an
extensive loan contraction by the banks
and the forced liquidation cOnverged
on the industrials for which a very poor
market was found.
