|FIEND|SH BRUTALITY
TOWARD I'm ORPHAN
Sussex Man Beats a Child With
a Hoe, Kicks Him and Makes
Him Work in the Cold.
RESCUED BY AGENT STOUT
w. G. Dorman Narrowly Escapes the
Violence of a Mob at Lewes.
Boy Was From Phil
adeIphia Or,
phanage.

Agent Frank Stout returned last even
ing from trip in Sussex county, where
he rescued an orphan child from brute
oil a master, whose name is w. G. Dor
man, near Rehoboth. MIR. Stout not
only rescued the child but arrested the
man, had him tried and fined $20 for his
inhuman conduct.
The victim OF Mr.. Dorman's cruelty
was little John Entrees, from the
Friends, Home for Orphans at Philadel-
phla. John is sturdy looking little
fellow and shows many marks of Mr..
Dorman's bad treatment. His head and
lace are covered with scars from repeat
edly being hit with the mans fist clubs
and other things.
As soon as the matter was discovered
by MIR. Stout, that official went to
LeWes, swore out warrant and, in COM
pany with Constable Frank E. Johns )n.
went to Dorman's home near Rehoboth
and made the arrest.
The hearing was held at Lewes, and,
according to the testimony Of reliable
witnesses, Dorman's cruelty was such
that threats OF violence were made by
the large crowd that assembled at the
hearing in Magistrate Weltbanks' Of
fee.
Dorman was known to have struck
the boy on one occasion with aclub,
telling him. Another time he whipped
the child with a black whip until the
little fellow was almost cIazed with
pain.
Dorman has been known to knock the
little fellow. down and kick him in the
head and face with utter abandon. On
New Years Day, Dorman forced little
Johnnie to work ont in tile bitter cold
from early morning until dark. The
poor little fellows fingers were frostbit-
ten and lie suffered great agony. There
is large scar on the bng's head which
he says was made by Dorman striking
him wi5b hoe.
The good people OF Lewes made up a
purse and gave it to the little fellow as
Agent Stout was bringing him away.
IL looked for awhile as If Dorman was
going to receive rough treatment at the
hands Of the crowd.

if that is done extradition papers will be

There is nothing as yet to show that

in New Jersey. Everything, on the con-
trarv, points to the commission of the
deed on the waters of the river and not
to the marshes where the body was
found. That would give exclusive juris-
diction, under the compact of the year

Where is States Cash?

William Allen White of EmporIs,
insists on making life a burden to
the state administration over the
practice of depositing state funds in
the banks of Topeka. The interest
on the daily cash balance, it is esti-
mated. would exceed $1,000 per
month, although the state officers
deny that any interest is charged
Another inconsistency which Mr..
White exploits to the discontinue of
the administration is that while the
treasury reports show anywhere from
100000 to 100000 of the states
money on deposit in the Topeka
banks, the sworn statements of the
Topeka banks do not show any such
deposits. In his paper, the Emporla
Gazette, Mr., White says: 1.-THE Ga
zette does not desire to be captIous
about the matter, but here's the sit
uRtion: The state board that exam
med the state treasures books swore
that the treasury had nearly million
dollars deposited in the Topeka
banks. This Is contrary to law. But
the Topeka bankers, in their sworn
statement to the comptroller of the
currency. swear that this state money
is not on deposit in their banks.
Where isfit? The Topeka Capital is
in the boss-busting business. Will
not the Capital answer one question
asked by. q republican? Where is
that state money? Now. if Boss Bur-
tom treasurer, Grimes, is letting the
interest on that vast sum Of the peo-
pies money go into the Burton cam
palgn fund, why doesn't the Capital
say so and tell where that money isl
It is better to answer that question
now while republicans are asking it,
than to dodge it later when populists
will be asking it. The Capital claims
to believe in clean politics. Here is
q chance to show to what extent.
Where is that money i"-Ksnsan.

Buncoed.

An article in McCltsres for June,
after telling Of the honest efforts of
Governor Roosevelt to break up the
rsscally combinations existing IN his
party which were holding the people
of the Empire state up. says:
"What Is the result? The organi-
cation does't like Mr.. Roosevelt as
governor, neither does Lou Payn,
neither DO the corporations. The
corporations cannot come out openly
to fight him; they have simply served
notice on the organization that if he
is renominRted they will not contrib
ute to campaign funds. But the or
gsnization cannot refuse to renoml-
nate him, for he has said openly that
he wants to finish up his work: levy
the franchise tax, see to the amend
ment, keep in fair board of assess
ors, etc. And besides, he has marked
the administration as his, so that for
the party to fail to homer him again
would be to repudiate it's own work.
For the politicians the obvious solu-
ton of the problem would be to pro-
mote him to a place where there
would be nothing for HIM to do but
be good. The vice-presidency Is just
the thing. But Mr.. Roosevelt wants
work, not soft place; and he would
refuse the nomination. But mas
much as the organizations of all the
states are equally interested in get
ting rid of such a man, the policy
would be to work up a wave of popu-
lar enthusiasm which should roll up
from the west and southwest nomi-
nation by reclamation in the eonvep.
ton of his party. This he could oil
refuse, and thus it might seem that
the people had shelved the colonel Of
the Rough Riders in the most digni
| Ged and harmless position IN the gift
of his country. Then everybody
could say, We told you So for both
the theorists and the politicians have
said that it Is impossible in practice
politics. to be honest and successful
too"
Thus it would seem that the writer
of the above predicted in April wha
