A BRITISH PROTEST
Is Lodged at Washington Against
TransvaaI Filibusters.

New York, Nov. ga special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton, D. C., says:
Great Britain has protested vigorous
ly to this government against the or
ganization of expeditions in this cOun-
try, intended, presumably, for the as
Sistance of the Beers. Lord Paunce-
fote made the protest at the state de-
partment. Secretary Hay referred
Lord Pauncefote to the secretary OF
war.
1t is no longer a secret that expedi-
tons of Importance are being organized
The most notable of these has its head
quarters in the suburbs of this city and
another will be equipped with funds
tomorrow in New Y ork city.
Both of these organizations, it is said,
have common backing and are under
the secret auspices of an agent Of the
Transvaal now in New York; it is un-
derstOOd that there are millions of
Dutch and French money behind these
hlibustering expeditions.
The state department, the war de-
partment and the treasury department
have informed the British ambassador
that every precautiOn will be taken to
prevent the sailing of armed expedi-
tons in the interest of the Transvaal-
The state department is, in fact, occu-
plying the same position it held when
Minister Dupuy de LONE protested
against the organization Of hlibuster-
ing expeditions to Cuba
Some days ago the British ambassa-
dor addressed a, note to the state de-
partment asking that the secret service
detail men to look into prospective fill
clustering expeditions. This was done,
but no arrests have been made, and
nothing has been found on which to ad-
dress a remOnstrance to the persons in
VOlVed. The am baSSadOr also asked
that no supplies be sold to persons
suspected of intending TO assist the
Beers.
All that the secret service men have
been able to discover is that table
bodied men of military training" intend
to sail for Havre and other ports not
English. A part of the scheme of these
men, it is said, is to proceed to the
TransVaal as miners.

THE LIST GROWS.
One More "Get Rich Quick' Concern
Closes It's Doors.

Philadelphia, Nov. 29-The doors of
the home Office of the Investors Trust,
121 Arch street, doing business exclus-
lively with patrons outside the city, and
promising large profits on investments,
have been closed. Efforts to find Lip
man Keene, the president; Charles l..
Work, secretary, and Miss NJ. Q. Car
son, cashier, were unaVailing.
The company began business here
four years ago. It's plan was to invite
the investment of capital, the induce
ment being held out of interest ranging
from 100 to 200 per cent. In explaining
why such large gains are made the
company asserted in its literature that
it was in the confidence of stock manip-
ulatOrs and therefore in a position to
know the way stocks would go.
AS a result of these statements cash
flowed in a steady stream. The force
of employees was constantly augmented
and the correspondence grew to great
proportions. Agents We're placed in all
parts of the United States.
To the cOmpany'S numerous patrons
were sent the first day of each month
their dividends in the shape of a check.
It is thought that the firm has over
100000 invested for their patrons in
various stocks. Almost daily five big
sacks of mail matter have been sent by
wagon to the pOstofice. 1t is said the
company's postage expenses alone have
amounted to 5000 a week.
All mail is being sent back to the
pOStOff1ceS.

MAY EXTEND BOND CALL.
Secretary Will Not Make Public His
Intentions.

New York, Nov. ga special to the
Journay of Commerce from Washing
ton says:
Secretary Gage will probably not
make any announcement as to the con-
tinuance Of the offer to redeem four
and five per cent bonds at the prices
fixed in his last call until after tho
close of business tonight. This will
leave a holiday to intervene between
the announcement and any possible ef-
feet upon the money market The sec
rotary has refused to discuss the mat
ter with visitors, but there is appar-
emily no objection to continuing the
offer for another month. The secretary
offered at the outset to redeem bonds
to the amount of s25, 100000 in face
value. calling for total disbursements
of about SIS, 900, 600 The offer is not
likely to be enlarged in any case, but
might allow another month for the
completion of the original sums

Judge of Court of Visitation Is
Not Satisfied.
Wants to Know Whether He Ii
a Legal Official.
HE WANTS NO DELAY.
If Court Is Illegal He Would
Like to Know 1t.
Case May De Taken to United
States Supreme Court.

Judge L. s. Crum of the court of Wis
ttatiOn is the one man connected with
that tribunal who has the nerve to say
that it is a joke; also, that the court
amounts to nothing and should be
abolished.
For these reasons Judge Crum is
ready and willing to go to jail ccnstruc-
lively, at least, in order to secure an
appeal from the decision of Judge Hook
to the United States supreme court at
once. A criminal proceeding would be
decided in less than two months; the
course which the administration seems
to want to follow will require a year
and a half
The plan which Crum has is for the
court to make an order in defiance Of
Judge Hooks decision, thereby coming
into contempt of court. This would
then pave the way for prosecution for
contempt Crum is ready to be prose-
cuted and when placed under arrest for
contempt would Immediately institute
habeaS corpus proceedings to secure his
release This procedure would force a
speedy hearing of the case at Washing
ton and the politicians are anxious that
this method should be adopted, but the
other members of the court seem de-
termined to prolOng the matter and get
all the money out of it they can.
The present plan is to appeal to the
United States circuit court of appeals
at st. Louis. This would take several
court to the United States supreme
court would require much additional
time, so the case would not be finally
decided until after the next election.
But the Republican office holders would
go on drawing their salaries.
An effort is being made to secure an
early hearing of the case in the higher
court and Attorney General GODDARD has
received several requests to arrange
for the habeas corpus proceeding. Judge
Crum has offered himself as a sacrifice
in this direction. but the question of
the appeal probably will be determined
by A. J. Myatt, the solicitor who lives
at Wichita AS he has a law practice
there it is thought it will be some time
before he takes any steps in the matter.
In the meantime the Republican state
officers are ciamoring for a speedy set
tlemen of the issues because they are
confident the administration will be rid
of the court on the final hearing in the
higher courts.

AS HEAVY AS EVER.
No Lessening of the Demand For
Iron and It's Products

New York, Nov. 29.-Judge E. H.
Gary, president of the Federal Steel
company, returned to this city last
night from Chicago, where he had been
for several weeks. When question: 4
about conditions in the iron and steel
industry in the west, he said:
In our lines the demand continues
as heavy as ever. In some departments
of the trade a rather quiet market is
reported. However, I do not consider
this significant. The price of ore has
just been fixed at $3.50 per ton base at
Lake Erie and Lake Michigan ports
for next season. This is about the time
that the large consumers make their
ore contracts for future delivery. The
new schedule indicates an advance Of
from rs to 100 per cent over the prices
of year ago, and points to a continued
strong market for finished products.
The new figures about correspond with
present prices of finished material.
There is a general feeling that ore
is going to be rather scarce next year
and the demand is active
When questioned about the matter of
a dividend on Federal Steel, common,
Judge Gary said that nothing had been
decided yet, but that a meeting of the
directors would be held soon when this
question would be taken up. The next
dividend on the preferred viii be per
cent, making up the full per cent for
the year.

Mr.. SHERMAN STRICKEN
Well Known Politician Suffer
ing With Dementia.

A c. Sherman, the we'll known grain
merchant, will probably not again be
seen in the business world of Topeka.
Mr.. Sherman is in a serious condition
at his home in East Tenth street and
it is feared that he will not recover.
The blood vessels of the brain are af-
fected and dementfa has resulted. For
the past ten days Mr.. Sherman has not
been in his right mind, and if the trOu-
BILE does not prove fatal it is believed
that he viii never be able to again en-
gage in business
For the past several years Mr.. Sher-
man has been in failing health, but up
to ten days ago the members of his
family and his friends had no idea that
his mind was becoming affected. While
at home one evening he suddenly COM
menced to talk in a, disconnected way
of things that his family knew nothing
about, and since that time he has been
in a demented condition. At times he
appears to be rational, but the greater
part of the time gives evidence of a
wandering mind.
A few days after the symptoms Of
dementia first appeared Mr. Sherman
was removed to one of the Topeka hos
pitfalls in the hope that something could
be done for him. However, after a few
days stay he was taken back to his
home, as the hospital people were IN
able to handle him.
Mr.. Sherman's dementia is not of
violent form, although on several ac-
cas1ons he has compelled nurses to
leave his room. On several other occa-
slOns he has gotten out of bed in the
middle of the night, dressed. put on hat
and gloves, and then returned to bed
without removing any of his wearing
apparel.
Mr. Sherman has been a familiar fig
ure in this section OF the state for
many years AT one time it is estima-
ted he was worth over 500, 000 He
served in the legislature as a represen-
taUVe from Shawnee county.
When Mr.. Sherman came to Kansas,
Topeka was the terminus of the Santa
F'e railway. That was in 1870. He Sc
cured a large tract of land west of
and laid out the town of ROssviIle At
the same time he bought considerable
real estate in Topeka, and this he later
disposed of to advantage. In cOnnec-
ton with his brother. he opened a gen
erai store at ROssville. and for years
did business amounting to in the
neighborhOOd of $50. 900 d year In ad-
ditiOn to his store. he engaged in buy
ing and selling grain, and soon made
himself one of the best known grain
men in this part of the country. For
some time he shipped grain yearly to
the amount of s100. 900 and more.
The financial depression of few
years ago practically broke up Mr.
Sherman's business. He closed out his
store, gave up his grain trade, and re-
moved to Topeka. Since that time he
has been conducting a grain commits
sion office in the Office block on Fifth
street.
Mr.. Sherman is about SO years of age.
and is a veteran of the civil war. He
was the youngest soldier in his regi-
ment.
