WASHSHUNDA HERE.
Indian Chief In War Paint
Visits Congressman Curtis.

Washshunda, chief of the Kansas In
dams in Oklahoma, came to Topeka
Friday afternoon on the Rock Island
from the Pottawatomie reservation to
have Charles Curtis send aid to Una
tab who was sick on the reservation.
The two chiefs journeyed from Okla
homa to the reservation to attend the
green corn dance and to visit among
their old time friends. Unatah partOOk
too freely of green corn and ice water
and as result suffered from aches
and pains. WashShunda jOurneyed on
a mission of mercy to Topeka to secure
relief. he jumped off the Rock Island
train, adjusted his feathers and ear
ornaments, wrapped his big red blanket
closer around him, glanced at the Their
mOmeter standing at IS and shiVered.
He motiOnad for an expressman and
trotted into the waiting room to take a
look in a mirror. He frightened his
belt, glanced at the thongs holding his
trousers at the knee and waited for the
eXpressman to come closer.
The big chief was attired in all the
regalia OF the old time Indian and with
his war paint, feathers and well mu-
tilated ears he looked rather fierce. His
head was closely shaver except for one
small ridge of hair and his headdress
consisted of a red bandanna to hold the
feathers.
Me want ter go ter Charlie Curtis"
he said.
Come on said the expressman.
driVer-cIambered up on the seat beside
the driver, drew his blanket closer
around his neck and nearly hid his
head in the big red folds. Mr.. Curtis
office is in the top floor OF the Crawford
building. The expressman thought he
had savage who would be scared out
of his wits at an elevator. The driver
stepped into the cage and waited for
the chief, whom he supposed would be
afraid. But he wasn't. Not a bit.
He stepped in and Immediately COM
menced to adjust his toilet by aid of
the mirror as he did in the depot.
When the top floor was reached he
trotted after the expressman into the
congressman office. Half a dozen peo-
pie were waiting there to see Mr.. Curtis
but that made no difference to the In
dian. He made his way through the
crowd and without ceremony stated the
object of his mission to Mr.. Curtis who
sent at once for physician and sent
the two back to the reservation to look
after the sick Indian. Today Mr.. Cur
tbs received word that the chief had en-
tirely recovered.

TO HELP PORTO RICANS.
People of the United States Asked to
Help Their New Brothers

washington, Aug. 1.-THE war de-
partment has taken prompt measures
for the relief of the hurricane sufferers
in Porto Rico. When the press dis
patches and Gen. Davis advices made
known the extent of the disaster, steps
were Immediately taken to send sup
plies and the transport Mcpherson was
ordered put in readiness to sail from
New York on Monday next. She will
carry rations and other necessaries.
Secretary of War Root has sent the fol-
lowing appeal to the mayors of all cit
les of more than 15O, 600 population:
Sir:-The governor general of Porto
Rico confirms the report that upon the
Sth instant a hurricane swept over that
island, entirely demOHShing many of the
towns, destroying many lives, and re-
ducing, so near as he can estimate, not
less than 100000 of the inhabitants to
the condition of absolute restitution
without homes or food. Unless inmedi-
ate and effective relief is given these
unfOrtunates they will perish of fam
inc. Under these conditions, the presi-
den deems that an appeal should be
made to the humanity of the American
people. 1t is an appeal to their patriot
ism also, for the inhabitants of Porto
Rico, have freely and gladly submitted
themselves to the guardianship Of the
United States and have voluntarily
surrendered the protection of Spain, to
which they were formerly entitled, con-
fdently relying upon more generous
and benefcent treatment at aur hands.
The highest consideration of honor and
good faith unite with the promptings
of humanity to require from the United
States a generous response to the de-
mand Of Porto Rican distress.
This department has directed the
immediate distribution of rations to the
sufferers by the army in Porto Rico, so
far as it is within the power of the ex-.
ecutive, but in the absence of any ap-
preparation we must rely largely upon
private contributions.
I beg that you will call upon the
public spirited and humane people of
your city to take active and immediate
measures in this eXigency. The govern
ment transport Mcpherson will be sent
directly from the port of New York
to Porto Rico on Monday, the 18th inst.
to carry all supplies of food which can
be obtained. Further transports will be
sent at future dates of which public no
tice will be given.
Any committee charged with the
raising of funds will receive full infOr-
nation and advice upon communicating
with this department.
Very respectfully,
ELIHU ROOT,
Secretary of War.

FIRST ROUND
In the Fight For Possession of
Her Child
Is Won by Mrs. Perot In the
English Court.
VILLAINOUS CHARGES
Made by Her Husbands ReIa-
tiVes Are Filed.
Court Leaves Gladys With Her
Mother at Present.

London, Aug. 1.-THE queens bench
division Of the high court of justice
was the scene this morning Of a second
development in the case Of Mrs. VIM.
Y. Perot charged with the abduction of
her daughter Gladys from Baltimore.
Justice Lawrence fixed 10 o'clock this
morning as the time for hearing the
affidavit which Mr.. w. H. Perot, the
father-in-law of Mrs. Perot, handed
yesterday to Mr.. Rose-Innes. cOun-
sci for Mrs. PerOt. This document
is remarkably strong both in terms and
alleged facts and from the nature of
these the case was heard in Camera,
the only persons present at the proceed
lngs being MI W. H. PerOt, Detectives
Gait and Collins, Solicitor General Rich
ards, Mr.. ROse-Innes representing Mrs.
Perot; Mr.. Newton Crane who appear
ed for Mr.. w. H. Perot and a reporter
of the Associated Press.
Mr.. ROse-Innes addressing the court
said: I only received the affidavit in
this case at 10 o'clock yesterday. TAX
ing into account the fact that it is re-
markedly strong, tracing the career of
my client since her marriage and that
it contains allegations of the worst
character, I must ask you to adjourn
the case to a convenient day, that we
may have an opportunity of answering
1t. If read to your lOrdShip paragraph
seven you viii see wherein lies the
strength OF my application. 1t states
that whereas Letitia PerOt has been
leading an immoral life since 1892, CO.
habiting successfully with three per-
sons and during the past three years
has dwelt and co-habited with John
Neptune Blood, barrister, as his wife
and further has been residing with the
same in company with the child Gladys
since her return to England, she is an
unfit person to take charge and control
of the child
Continuing, Mr.. Rose-Innes said:
Now, may point out that the whole
Of that paragraph is false. There is
no John Neptune Blood, barrister.
Mrs. PerOt has been residing with her
sister the whole time since she came to
England. We want to answer this aft
davit in extenso.''
Mr.. Newton Crane then urged there
was no necessity to argue the case now.
A writ, he added, may issue and in
that case it may be argued.
The judge, in giving judgment said:
Il shall order the child to remain in
custody of her mother until Wednes-
day on the undertaking of Mr. Rose
lines that the child is produced in
court
Mr. Rose-Innes gave the undertaking
and the proceedings ended. During the
hearing Mr.. VIM. H. Perot was an in
terested spectator of the fight for the
possession of the child, occasionally
prompting counsel.
Neither Mrs. Perot nor any of her
friends were present

SECOND WARD ACTIVE.
Residents Resent Attempts to
Take Proposed City Hall
Away From Them.

A few people in Topeka are trying to
arouse a fractional fight on the city hall
proposition and are endeavoring to ar
ray the people of the Second ward, par
ticularly the shopmen, against the prop
osition They are not meeting with
good success, however. AS a matter
of fact the people of the Second ward
city hall will be erected in their ward
and will belong to them more than to
any other part of the city.
When the ObstructiOnists fight the
site that has been selected by the cOun-
Gil for the new city hall. they are max
ing a direct fight on the Second ward
people. Their action in trying to ar
ray some of the people of the Second
ward against the proposition is a mag
nifcent display of nerve, but it does no
credit to their judgment. The people
of the Second ward are resenting it.
They say that the obstructiOnists must
take them for first class idiots to go
against their own ward in any such
manner as that.
An attempt is being made to work
on the prejudices of the shopmen to in
duce them to vote against the propo-
sitiOn. because the Commercial club is
in favor of it, and they are told that
they ought to be against the CONNER
ciaI club. The shopmen, however, re-
alize that the Commercial club is work
ing for the best interests of the city,
and not for the interests of a few peO-
pie on the north side of the river who
are opposed to anything that will do
more good for anyone else than it will
for them.
II don't see what those people over
there are thinking off, said one Second
ward man today, ito intimate that we
Second warders ought to be against the
bonds. They forget, I guess. that the
city hall is to be in the Second ward,
and viii increase the value of our prop
erty much more than it would down
there in the city park. The only part
of the Second ward that ought to IA
vor the city park location is Smoky
Row The people of the Second ward
are well satisfied with the location pick
ed out by the council, and we are not
big enough fools to vote against our
own interests
There is talk of forming an organiza-
ton in the Second ward similar to that
organized in the First, except that its
object Will be to get out and work for
the city hall proposition instead of
against it.
Most of the people in the Second ward
come into the city on Sixth avenue, so
that they are just as close to the city
hall site as they are on Kansas ave-
nue., while if the building were to be put
down in the park they would have to go
seven blocks farther to reach it. BY
actual measurements the site at the cor
ner Of Seventh and Quincy streets is
very near the geographical center of
the city.

would cry:
Impossible; men could not live in
such a heat
The.young women who were admirers
of some of the players would meet their
heroes with the question:
Aren't you awful hOt?
The young man would reply IN the
negative and then apply towel, Tor

the streams of perspiration which ap-
peared on his face and arms. Never
before has such heat descended upon a
state tournament in this city The
ground almost baked under the players
feet, yet they kept manfully at their

look like the victims of a prolonged
