MERCHANT TOO SHARP.
Nan Who Tried to Pass Worthless
Check Landed In Jail.


f H. Brown was before the police
court this morning charged with as
sauIt. He pleaded not guilty and his
trial was set for this afternoon at 4
o'clock.
Saturday night Brown came to Topeka
and registered at the National hotel as
from Chicago. He left his grip there and
went to Abe Steinberg's store where he
purchased some goods and offered in
payment a check of $50 which was on a
Kansas City bank and was made to E.
H Brown. The check was signed by G.
w Wheatley who Brown said was the
superintendent of the mail service, and
he claimed that he was an employe IN
the service.
Mr. Steinberg suspected that all was
not right and told the man that he
would cash the check providing he could
get some one to endorse it. The man
agreed to this and started out with Mr.
Bi0mberg, one of the clerks in the store
He gave the clerk the slip, but came by
the store again and was stopped by Mr.
Steinberg who in company with Albert
Lindell, started with Brown to the police
station.
They had gone but a short distance
when Brown broke away from them
and ran down Sixth avenue. He turned
into the alley between VanBuren and
Harrison and hid in a shed where the
officers who had joined in the search
found him.
Brown has told conflicting stories to
the police concerning his identity, and
has claimed to be an old soldier and
Mason. The men at the police station
who belong to the orders say that he is
fraud and is not a member of any or
der.
The charge of assault was placed
against Brown because he attempted to
cut Mr.. Steinberg when he jerked away
from him on the way to the station The
charge will hold him until the police can
make an investigation concerning him,
for they think he is an old offender. He
destroyed the check after he left the
store so it could not be used as evidence
against him.

New York, Oct. 29.-Senor Dan Manuel
Silyela has challenged Senator Count
De Las Almenas to a duel, says a Mad

Almenas rose IN the senate and made an
attack on Premier Silvela that set
Spain by the ears He wound up by ac-
cusing the premier and General Pola.-
vieja with plotting to overthrow the
king and seize the government. It was
Silvelas intention. he declared. to have
himself declared president of a proposed
new Spanish republic
Senator Count De Las Almenas says
that he does not remember what he said

Chinese Wishes.

Chinese Wishes.
New York. Oct. 2e-His excellency,
Yang Yu Chinese minister to the court
of st Petersburg, while at Yalta, near
where the car is staying. was question
ed by a Herald correspondent regarding
the Chinese problem His excellency was
three and one-half years minister to the
United States. He was also Chinese Ie-
gationer to The Hague peace conference.
He was asked how China would accept
the idea of arbitration in this present
trouble to which he replied:
My own idea that arbitration in this
matter would be the ideal solution, for
nv fear at present is that unless some p
thing is done negotiations will drag on
for long time
THE idea of arbitration is exceedingly
popular with US in China I fear our
people would object to a court of arbi-
1ration. the members of which compris-
ed only Europeans. They feel that Eur
opeans are prejudiced against them
They would imagine that they We're not
going 70 be treated fairly. We should
have to persuade our people that it was
all right
1T is to the interest of the United
States to bring about normal situation
in China with the utmost rapidity
America has a large trade with US. and
that trade is being very seriously dam
aged by the condition Of things, which
may last a long time
His eXcellency certainly thought Rus
STA would support the idea as the ears
ideal was arbitration, as shown by his
calling together Of the peace conference.
Then he said:
England would join, because she also
IS suffering severely in the matter of
trade. which is becoming worse each
day"
