DYNAMO IN THE YARD
E. A. Maxwell of Winfield Had
a Scheme to Get Rich.
MARSHAL TRIGG GOT HIM
His Shop and Its Contents
Kept Close Secret.

2. A Maxwell was arrested at Win
field yesterday morning and brought to
to this city by Deputy United States
Marshall Trigg on the charge Of using
the mails in aid Of scheme TO defraud
Maxwell was taken before Commissioner
Shearman and gave bond IN the sum Of
500 for his appearance at the March term
of the United States court in this city.
Deputy Sheriff Goats OF winfield, who
assisted in making the arrest, and Mrs.
Susan Maxwell, the prisoners mother,
accompanied Maxwell to the city.
Maxwell is a victim Of the fake idea
Of getting rich on short notice, with lit
tie work and less investment. He evolved
a scheme to catch suckers on a patent
electric light plant which promised big
but gave little light. His idea was TO
bury dynamo in the front yard, string
wires about the premises, touch button
and everybody could have all the light
they wanted for little money.
Circulars and letters sent through the
mails advertised the company as being
capitalized at 100000.
He found plenty Of people who wanted
more light and they got 1t, but not cleo
trio light.
At Winfield, where Maxwell manufac-
tured his novel plant, but little was
known OF 1t. Inquirers who went there
to investigate the concern could find out
but little. IN air of mystery surround
ed the factory and the manufacturer.
Ht kept his mode Of operation a close Sc
cret, and no one but Maxwell himself
was allowed in the building This first
attracted attention to his work and led
TO the investigation which finally landed
Maxwell IN the hands Of Uncle Sans
officials
A citizen OF Coffeyville, Kan, who was
ADVERTISED as a partner In the com
pany. brought suit against Maxwell for
the foreclosure of q mortgage on his
plant. The mortgage amounted to sew
eral hundred dollars, and Deputy Sheriff
Coats, who assisted in the arrest yester-
day, levied upon the plant TO salty the
mortgage and also q judgment for rent
on the building. When placed under the
hammer the factory sold for just s122
Everybody who had anything to do with
the strange invention claims to have quit
loser. Maxwell himself claims that il
bankrupted him, and those who pur-
chased an electric light plant are certain
their money was squandered.
Maxwell seems TO be one Of the kind
Of inventors who had great faith in his
patent up to the last moment. After
Officer Coats had attached his factory
and locked 1t up with the seal Of the
court, Maxwell broke into the building
locked Coats out and continued his rnys-
FERROUS work until the officer forced his
way into the room and compelled him to
quit.
Maxwelrs mother, who was with him
yesterday. is reputed to be wealthy. She
owns a handsome residence in Winfield
On his bond yesterday she made afida-
Wit that she was worth more than $1,000
besides this.
The case against Maxwell was IN
charge Of Postoffice Inspectors Stice and
Harrison, and they claim they have SUI
hcient evidence to convict him.

THE BUOOH|STS
Called Down by Japanese
Government.
AdmonIsh d to Keep Out Of Politics
and Behave The mseives sin
Every Way.

The Minister of Home Affairs has
taken a step which is as opportune at
the present moment as 1t is decidedly
to the Buddhists says
the Japan Weekly Times. The head
priests of the different Buddhist sects
throughout the country, who had been
summoned to the capital a few days
ago. were received in a body by Mar
uuis Saigo at the Home Office on Mon
day morning. when, as elsewhere
stated. they were told in substance
that they should refrain from any act
that might be at variance with that
provision of the Constitution by which
japanese subjects are guaranteed free
dom Of worship. They were reminded
of the recent Imperial Rescript on the
operation of the new treaties, and in
structed to see that no act incOnsis-
tent with the respect due to the I'M
perial command conveyed In that Res
cript is committed by anybody under
their respective charge. Mr.. komat-
subara. who also addressed few
words of admonition to the high
priests. was even more outspoken
than his chief. The Westminster re-
GREETED to observe tendency among
Buddhists to mix themselves up with
politics. in view of which fact he wish
ed it to be distinctly understood that,
in the event of any disorderly conduct
on the part OF Buddhists, the latter
must he prepared for sharp and sum-
mary dealing by the Government. He,
therefore, felt it his duty to call the at
tention of the heads of the different
sects to keep strict supervision over
| their subordinates, SO that there might
be no necessity for the Government to
have resource to such painful measures
as had already been alluded to. II
will be evident from the tone Of their
remarkable speeches, that the Minister
and Vice Minister of State felt 1t ne
cessary for them to put down their
feet decisively and once for all upon
the various absurd projects which
Buddh!sts of some denominations are
contemplating, to have Buddhism
placed under the special protection OF
the Government. Some of them are
also reported to have under contempla-
ton measures of more doubtful
character to resist the inroads OF
Christian missionaries. For our own
part, we believe that the fears which
at present disturb the peace of the
mind of Buddhists are for the most
part groundless, fact which they will
no doubt find out in due course OF
time. So we cannot believe that much
as Buddhists are perturbed at the
sight of the phantom which they have
called forth out OF nothing, their illu'
sion will be dispelled, as soon as they
discover the fact that the mixed resi-.
dence Of foreigners will not apprecia
bly, improve the position of Christians
~ In this country.
