Organized Among Janitors in Office
Buildings.

Chicago, March 9.-John A Peterson
alias Carl Filing, has been arrested in this
city and will be held to await the arrival
of detectives from New York 1t is all
legged that Peterson was member of an
organized band of forgers who succeeded
in Swindling a half dozen New York
banks by forged checks

ployed as janitOrs in office buildings and
in the performance of their duties in many
offices succeeded in getting hold of nu-
merouS checks which had been paid and
returned to the makers Cancelled. From
these checks the style of composition and
the signatures were learned.
To Charles Maline, one of the gang was
given the task of forging the signatures

gang found little difficulty in cashing the
checks.
Maine and Peterson were arrested The
last named succeeded in securing his re-
lease on bail, which he jumped. Maline

SUES JUDGE FOR DIVORCE.
Mrs. McAtee Alleges Non-support
From Her Husband, an Ok
lahoma Official.

Kansas City, March Suit for d.
vorce was filed yesterday in the circuit
court here by Mrs. Elizabeth 1. B. Nc
Aztec against Judge John L. McAtee of
the United States circuit court of Ok
lahoma. The petition charges non-sup-
port, the plaintiff asserting that her
husband has in no way provided for her
since the beginning of their married
life further than to pay hotel bills while
the two were travelling in Oklahoma.
Both Judge and Mrs. McAtee are well
known and are socially prominent.
The allegations in the petition filed
yesterday cover the entire period of
Judge and Mrs. McAtee's married life,
which began October 6, 1896, and ended,
so far their living together was con-
cerned, in January, 1898. The plaintiff
charges abandonment for the last year.
She tells of being compelled by her hus-
band to travel in Oklahoma when she
was seriously i'll, during which time, she
says, they frequently stopped at poorly
heated and furnished hotels. This was
during sessions of court at which Judge
McAtee presided, and during a time
when, the plaintiff alleges, she should
have been in her comfortable, we'll

Kansas City.

GREATER TOPEKA.
Commercial Club Endorses Plan to
Enlarge the City Limits.

The plan to annex Potwin Place to To-
peka is being received favorably both in
Topeka and Potwin and it is probable that
there will be no opposition to the proposed
union when the test comes
The QueS ton brought up at the
meetin of the Topeka Commercial club last
night and the following resolutions were
adopted by a unanimous vote;
Whereas, The city of Potwin Place has,
for some years, maintained an independ-
ent municipal organization, and has ac-
cOmplished the purpose for which it was
originally Incorporated; and
Whereas, The city of Topeka is mani
testify entering upon new era of pros
perity, the full fruition of which demands
the united energy and effort of all our peo-
Whereas, The decenniaI census to be
taken next year should properly record
the growth of our population, the multiple
ca alton of our industries and the aug
mentatiOn of our resources; therefore,
Resolved, That the Commercial club
earnestly approves the proposed CONSOLE
dation of the two cities and urges the Of
ficers of the respective cities to consum-
mate the union at the earliest practica BILE
date.
Stunning to dictate to the mayor and coun-
Gill; this club respectfully suggests the
feasibility of extending the city limits so
as to include Oakland, the So-called strip,
and other populous neighborhOodS, now
outside of our municipal boundaries, but
in every essential particular parts and
parcels of our city,

CUBAN ANNEXATIONISTS.
The Better Glass of Citizens Want to
Join the Union.

Atlanta. Ga, March &C. E. Haskins,
the New York expert accountant, who
is returning home from Havana, where
he was called by Gen. Ludlow to aid in
looking into the financial condition of
the Cuban capital, left Atlanta today
for the east. Mr.. HaskinS says the rep
resentative Cubans are anneXationiStS
and are anxious to see the United
States keep it's army there until every
thing is running smoothly and Cuba is
ready to be annexed.
AS to the finances of Havana, Mr..
HaskinS said:
1T will be an easy matter to make
Havana not only one of the richest but
also one of the healthiest large cities
anywhere to be found. At present the
principal difficulty that meets the civil
government is the lack of money with
which to administer it. HaVana's only
resources now are out of the customs
duties which of course should not be
applied to the government of the city
but to the general government of the
island"

HAYWARD FOR EXPANSION
Nebraska's New Senator Would Give
Nothing Back.

Lincoln, Neb., March 9.-Judge Hay
ward, in a speech following his election
to the United States senate, spoke
briefly on national topics. On the ques-
ton OF expansion he said:
IT will not discuss at any length the
new issues that have arisen within the
past year. They are too new. What
to do with the vast territories that have
come to us by war not of our begin
ming, will they be a burden or a bless
ing to us, is the question. But what
ever they have cost up to date, or Will
cost in treasure or in blood, 1 am not
in favor of turning over to any other
country or turning back to any half
civilized nation one acre of the land our
boys have fought and died for. 1t is a
question that will be worked in the
future, and under our great leader, who
has shown himself equal to every emer-
gency, it will be worked out for the
good of the country and of mankind"

that a horizontal increase of % per cent
and increase of the minimum monthly
salary to $50 was no more than just.
Mr. Nudge again told the committee
that the company would not consent to
such increases.
The members of the committee are
this morning disposed to make conces-
sions, and it is altogether likely that
the controversy will be satisfactorily
settled. The company will probably
agree to raise the salaries of operators
at the principal block signal stations,
and at other stations where business
has materially increased. The question
of changing the minimum salary has
not been settled. The officials state
that $45 per month is as much as Is
paid operators at the smaller stations
by any of the western roads.

BOUND TO HEAR MELBA
San Francisco People Wait In
the Street All Night For
Tickets.

San Francisco. March 9.-There has
been a great rush for seats for the
coming appearance of the Ellis Opera
company, especially for the Melba
nights, the prima donna being favor
tie here.
The sale of boxes resulted in dispos-
ing of them at good rates. Yesterday
was the day set for the sale of single
seats, and there was a great rush by
spectators and others. A hundred peo-
pie or more waited all night for seats.
Some of them had boxes and some had
camp stools, and as no tickets were be-
ing sold their places were stationary.
Many patient ones Slumbered and tried
to rest, while cans of beer were passed
down the line for their refreShment.
1t seemed a long time after the peep of
day when the box office opened with a
bang. Tired men SWayed and staggered
on their feet. The reVulSion of feeling
was too great for Albert Hogs, who has
managed theaters of his own When he
knew that his seventeen hours of waiting
were over he fell in a fit, and was not re-
Suscitated for twenty minutes. Mean
while the sale of seats was suspended, and
Hogs had the first choice of seats after
all.
Over $4,000 was banked as the result of
the first days sale of single seats.

PERMANENT BRIDGES.
Effort Will Be Made to Build Melan
Structures in Topeka

The Topeka Commercial club hopes
to secure some Melan arch bridges in
the vicinity of Topeka. At the meeting
of the club last night H. V Hinckley
the club should ascertain when new
bridges are to be built in Topeka so that
an effort may be made to induce the
council to build permanent bridges.
Edward Wilder, chairman of the COM
mittee on bridges, submitted the fol-
lowing report:
your committee reports that the bill
authorizing and regulating the con-
struction of permanent arch bridges,
which was prepared by your committee
and approved by the club, was killed in
the senate. A new bill was then pre-
pared to meet the objections raised in
the senate. This was introduced as a
committee bill in the house but it died
on the calendar. We have therefore
secured no relief from the legislature
Having in mind that the cost of a Melan
arch bridge is less than half of the cost
of a stone arch bridge and no more than
bridge; that from 60 to 80 per cent of
the cost of such an arch bridge is ex-
pended for home labor instead of being
sent back east to buy the bridge with
and that the Introduction of permanent
bridges means death to the annual ex-
pense for renewals and repairs, we be-
lieve we voice the unanimous sentiment
of the taxpayers when we submit the
proposition that this community should
manufacture-nOt import it's bridges
We think the city should build one per-
manent arch bridge each year and the
county two each year, commencing on
the main thoroughfares near the CITY
we recommend that a proposition for
the construction of one permanent arch
bridge be at once prepared and submit
ted to the voters of the city, in the in
terest of true economy, home labor and
home contractors.
