OBlTUARY.-Another land mark
has gone; another patriarch gath
cred home. Died, June 6, of stom-
ach trouble, Andrew Jackson Suttle.
He was born in the year 1923. He
leaves a wife, daughter of the late
Squire Carpenter, and four chill
dren: Mrs. Charles Conley, Mrs.
James Conley; Mrs. George Kar-
rick, of Salt Lick, and Mrs. VIM.
Henry. He also leaves two sisters,
Mrs. Kountz and Mrs. Shelby Car
penter, and many grandchildren,
all of whom were present at his
burial. Rhoda and Louisa, their
oldest and youngest daughters,
went to the far beyond many years
ago, and
Two little angels were on high.
They hand in hand together roam,
Those links that bind him to the sky.
Two fingers beckoned him to come.
Lord, give them strength their loss
to bear
And lead them in the heavenly
way,
That they may meet their loved ones
there
In realms of everlasting day.
Mr.. Suttle lived a quiet life. He
was an affectionste husband, al
indulgsnt father, an honest, oblig.
ing neighbor, n friend to the pool
and needy. Those who know hin
best loved him most. Sorrow not
dear friends. Your loss is Heav
ems gain. God giveth and taketh
and We must submit to mis- will
praying without ceasing, loving
and serving God faithfully that w
too should be prepared to meet ou
loved ones in the far beyond. T,
those who we're near and dear t.
him we commend to God, who dotl
all things well for the good o
them that love and serve him.
We miss the from thy home, dea
father,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow DER our life is cast;
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee;
We miss thee everywhere.

DABBLED In STOCKS
NOW MIR. GRAHAM, OF THE CHI
CAGO SCHOOL BOARD SERVICE,
IS A FUGITIVE
IS SHORT A LARGE SUM

Supposed to Have Lost the school
Money I'm an Attempt to Beat the
Stock Market-FaiIed of Re-eIec-
tion to the Position of Trust That
Enabled Him to Take the Money,
and Exposure Followed.
CHICAGO, July 1S-WiIliam A. s. Gra-
ham, ex-school agent, clerk and secre-
tary of the board of education, is a self
confessed defaulter in the sum of $34, ,500
Positive proof of the shortage was dis
covered today, together with q letter left
by Mr.. Graham, authorizing the convey
ance Of all his property for the purpose
of liquidating his shortage. The ex-sec-
retary has left the city, and agents OF
his bondsmen, the National Surety COM
pany, of New York. and the City Trust
and Safety Deposit company, of Phila-
delphia, who are each his, surety for
$4,000. are now endeavoring to find him.
In connection with his position with
the board he acted as school agent, and
handled all the moneys of that body,
amounting to thousands of dollars an
nually. All money received from colIec-
tion of rents, Interest on investments and
the dividend on state taxes was handled
by Mr. Graham.
On juno II, County Superintendent
Auber T. Bright gave Mr.. Graham his
check for $4,000, which the rules of the
board required should be deposited with
the city treasurer, upon whom all vouch-
ers are drawn in pay for the bills against
the school board. Instead of depositing
this check with the city treasurer, Mr..
Graham took it to the Chicago National
bank and deposited it to his account as
school agent. On the 26th of June, Mr..
Graham drew his cheek for $3.50 on
the Chicago National bank, and deposit
ed 1t with the city treasurer to the credit
of the state dividends. The balance Of
the $5G, COO he kept for his own use At
the last meeting of the board Mr. Gra-
ham failed Of reelection as secretary.
Prior to his departure Graham left
letter which was addressed: ITO Whom it
May Concern" This letter, according to
Attorney D. J. Mahon, the adviser of the
school board, was statement of prop
erty owned by Graham, ostensibly, but in
reality In his wifes name, power of
attorney end authority to convey the
property for the purpose of liquidating
his Indebtedness. The amount of prop
erty to be turned over by Mrs. Graham
will not amount to over $4,000.
1t is supposed that stock speculation
was the cause Of Graham's downfall, as
it is known he was operating quite
heavily.
When Graham left the city he an
nounced that he was going to Cripple
Creek, but 1t is thought that he went
instead to New Orleans and is now on
his way to some of the South American
countries.
Graham was popular, and had many
friends, some of whom said today they
would have made good his shortage had
he let them know of It.
Mrs. Graham admitted tonight that her
husband had gone to New Orleans and
said she went with him, but her two
children became i'll and she returned to
Chicago bringing the letter written by
Graham announcing himself a defaulter.
Where her husband is now Mrs. Graham
does not know.

said:

the senator is a man who never hesitates
to express his own views upon all great
public questions. While. he may have
taken issue with his friends IN the last
campaign, and thought it unwise to force
such issues on the party, he was at least
loyal to the nominee of the party and
carried out the teachings of Democracy
by rendering his aid and support to the
ticket

Williams, in the federal court today,
granted injunctions against President
Wright, of the Fourteenth district of the
United Mine Workers of America, against
the executive board in charge of the
Southeast Kansas strike and against
every union miner. The right of speech
and inducement was reserved for the de-
fendant, who fought the injunction hard.
One of the coal companies sought bv
motion to have the United Mine Workers
union declared an illegal organization,
but the court refused to do this The de-

combine, confederate or conspire with
them are severally and collectively en-

the coal companies, or from entering on
the premises or congregating near their
property, or from threatening. intimi-
dating, boycotting or molesting any en-
ploye of the companies
The strikers, by their attorney, made an
especial plea to have the executive board
exempted from the injunction, but the
court said they were the ones above all
others to be enioined
President Wright and Joseph Boston. of

Chambers leaves the island. If there is
no vacancy then either Hunter or Mair
may be designated to fill the chief JUS

The commissioners are much blamed
for not ordering the restoration of loot
taken by rebels. Mataafa partisans
among the natives are laying plans to
restore the kingshfp through lawyers, and
are confident of bringing about a rehear-
ing. Mataafa, however, accepts the abo-
ttion of the kingship, and will be present
at meeting of the commissioners on
Saviti island. His supporters request the
dismissal of Chief Justice Chambers and
defy the order of the supreme court.
