Allies,

The conduct of the allied troops
in China in looting (stealing)
from public and private houses,
killing peaceful people, Draining
innocent children by taking them
by the legs and beating their
brains out on the ground and
driving bayonets through their
quivering flesh. watching them
squirming and writhing in death,
debauching women and pure
girls, has not been surpassed in
the annals of barbarous nations,
and certainly gives the lie to the
Christian civilization the white
man boasts of, and is certain to
annull all the possible good the
mission aries have for years been
trying to implant in China.
Even missionaries are lOOting.
One being recently overhauled at
Pekin with large cargo by an
army officer was asked by what
authority such conduct was prac.
ticed, and he replied by the
authority of this Identical officer,
the party not knowing him. The
officer had the goods restored
It is to the credit of the Ameri-
cans that they have been com
paratively free from looting and
numbering. An agreement is
about consumated now by the
powers. by which the Chinese
matter will soon be settled and
all these horrors cease.

Harvey married in Ell Paso, Sunday,
March 4, Mrs. Jeanette Wheeler.
widow of the late L. B. Wheeler, and
they decided to take trip to Mexico
as part of their honeymoon.
In the meantime Chief Lockart re-
ceived from Sheriff Trevelyau, IN
Seattle, a warning to look out for
Harvey. as 1t was claimed he was
wanted in that city on a charge of
embezzlement.
This eXplains the arrest, and
Harvey's detention. The chief had
knowledge of the Whereabouts of the
man wanted, and kept track of him
until his return here last night.
The prisoner is a man of medium
size, with dark hair. tinged with gray,
and mustache. He gave his age as
forty-eight. He was neatly dressed, +,
wearing white clean tie, and is suave
tslker. he was extremely polite to
all who addressed him, but declined
absolutely to say anything concerning
the charges against him.
81 am willing to 60 back without q
requisitiOn," he declared this morn
ing, "snd 1 have asked the chief OF
police to wire the Seattle officers to
come at once. It is all mistak g, and
1 shall have no difficulty in pro wing my
innocence back there. In the meantime
l must decline to discuss the charge at

Mrs. Wheeler formerly lived at aOz
West Overland street. where she kept
rooming house known as the Over
land house. She has a son, of fourteen,
and daughter several years younger,
and these were with her when she
called at the Jail this morning.
The mother and children saw Harvey
in the large room in the main part OF
the Jail directly back of the office, and
the scene for a few moments promised
to be a stormy one. Later, Harvey's
explanations seemed to be satisfactory
and to carry some weight.

An Innovation To The
Bitter End

TOPEKA, March 1.-THE directors
of the Topeka Capital company are In
big row today over the future policy
of the paper. F.. 0. Popenoe, presi-
dent and the majority stakeholder OF
the Capital company, announced last
night that the Capital would continue
as q Christian daily. 1t appears he
had not consulted the other stockhold-

and much feeling has been aroused in
the directorate OF the paper. The
directors have been in session behind
closed doors practically all day.
Dell Keiser, the business manager
of the paper and heavy stockholder
OF the company threatens suit against
Poperos for announcing the policy of
the paper. He is indignant and de-
clsres that the Capital will not be run
as Christian daily.
SIT would be an utter impossibility
to do such thing" he said: "the con-
tracts which we have madelwould not
