INCREASED REWARD FOR JOE.
Sergeant Smith Returns and Raises
Offer FROM 500 to $3.50.

City Sergeant Smith returned from
Boston yesterday and at once took steps
to incresase uhe reward for the rrecapture
Of Topeka joe the bank robber who
got out of the city jail so mysteriously
last Monday mornins. It
On his way back Sergeant Smith
stopped in New York and had a
talk with the Pinkertons regarding the
escape and the best means to bring about
the recapture of Topeka joe"
The City Sergeant held a. conference
Yesterday with Judge Witt and Chief-of-
Police Howard at which the marvellous
manner In which Joe took his departure,
was discussed.
It was agreed that there should be. a
thorough investigation of the matter and
of the manner in which the officers on
duty at the prison Sunday night perform
ed their duties. The investigation will
not begin until Commonwealth's Attorney
Richardson returns to the city.
Mr. Smith directed that the reward Of
gfered for the recapture of Topeka Joe"
be increased from S1O0 to $3.50, as he did
not think the former sum sufficient to in
duce anyone to work very hard to get
Topeka Joe.'
The Pinkerton detectives have been in
formed of the package sent here from
New York, containing funds for Topeka
Joe, and the name and address of the
sender is also in their possession.
The name of the party sending the
package was given as William Reynolds,
No. 46 Catharine Street, New York.

meeting of the Cotton spinne-s here to-
day it was decided practically unani-
mously not to purchase American spot
cotton during the month of September
Four-ffths of the employees in the trade
We're represented.
It is anticipated that the. decision Will
lead TO the closure of scores of mills for
several weeks. Only three manufacturers
opposed the resolution and their objection
was, it was not strong enough. and that it
should bind the trade to stop. the con-
sumption of cotton and not merely to
stop purchasing it.
The meeting was private. but It was
ascertained that during the discussion
there was sharp criticism of the Liverpool
specuiatnrs who. It was declared made
the crisis worse by gambling.
Eventually the meeting adjourned until
September 2lst. when the situation again
will be considered.
