WARD
JUST
FOUND
OUT
MURDERER
AND THIEF
FINALLY
CAUGHT
How He Made Away
With His Victims
and Stored His
Plumber

DgApwoop, S. d Aug. 3l.-The deeds
of the Bender family oi Kansas are not
much worse than those that are being
unearthcd against the murderer w. IL.
Ward of Pluma. Ward was single hand
ed in his cunning deals, but his work
was effective in every case. The world
NAV never know what method was used
in the making away Of Kirk Shephard,
but there is no doubt that he was killed
and The body concealed. Frank Neuen-
feldt, the Young miner who was killed
in September, 1899, had been working
several months for Ward and died f,om
the effects of what Ward said was cave
in after the blast. The death was not
investigated and the old dman's story was
believed. Investigation of the old tun-
uel since shows that not enough dirt had
fallen to cause death. Ward owed him
back money for wages.
The searching parties that have been
ran-sacking Wards Calm and premises
have found wagon loads of rubbish,
which has no special value, but has been
accumulated evidently by half-crazy
man. In one corner of his bedroom was
n wooden box filed with silverware. IT
looked rs though all of the restaurants
in the BMck Hills had been robbed, and
such is believed to have been the case.
The old man patronized the Chinese res
taurants and came away with some
thing OF valqe in his pockets every time.
There is full ton of miners tools in
the cabin that have been stolen from the
different workings around his place.
Many Of the tools bear the private mark
of owners and are being reclaimed. In
the loft of the house were found num-
Der of pine timbers which the old man
had stolen from the Burlington bridge
crew near his cabin.
The house is cut up into number oi
rooms. with side, rear and front en-
frances. which would permit Of easy
hiding of crime or of stolen property,
I he old man always had an aversion to
strangers coming into his house. No.
body will ever know how many persons
Ward has made away with. There ara
numerous stories ahoat that sudden dis
appearances in that part of the country
dating several years back. and othcI
crimes may be unearthed. 1t is knowr
for a certainty that he has killed thrt'
men in cold blood.

Nally will attempt to swim from Boston
to New York, making the start next
Sunday, the distance to he covered with
in thirty days. MIR. McNally hopes to

TRUSTS AND THE ADMINISTRATION

When p. c. Knox, the noted
corporation lawyer OF Pittsburg,
was appointed Attorney-G General in
the Cabinet of Mr. Mckinley the
possibility of any action being TIA
ken against the illegal industrial
combinations became hopelessly
remote. During the greater por-
tion OF his professional career he
had been the trusted counselor OF
the corporations. His ability had
been exercised in finding legal
loopholes through which those cor
porations could escape their obi.
gations to the state. His educa-
tion and associations had not been
such as to inspire him with any
very great awe of the corporate
laws. AS an attorney for the Car
negie Steel Company he wa
brought into intimate relation
with G. NJ. Schwab, the presen
head OF the United States stee
trust. In brief, everything con
nected with his past life is positiv
proof that nothing can be expect
cd from him in the way of enforc
Ing the laws against his forme
clients. Any talk about legal ae
tion being taken against the bi
lion dollar steel trusts is shet
nonsense. Ii 10 under the pre-

MR.. HOEYS SPECIAL ORGAN.

Tho former Acknowledgement
and the former Governor of Arizo-
ma who did not fill a full term in
either Office, and was not permit
ted to resign, hastens to the de-
fence of Hoey, the accused Gus
toms collector at Nogales, now un-
der bond to answer the charge of
corruption in office. The editor of
the Arizona Star is evidently pos
sessed of that fellow feeling that
makes us wondrous kind He
does not like the methods of the
Government officials who worked
up the case against Hoey. He evil
IDENTITY hates special agents, secret
service people, and Governmental
inspectors. He has probable cause.
The archives of the Interior De
partment at Washington show
that the editor of the Star has had
some experience with special
agents and inspectors himself
1t is to be regretted that the
Star felt constrained to change its
line of defence of Hoey. 1t would
have been much more amusing il
1t maintained consistently it's ori-
ginal idea that Hoey was a victim
of Mark Hanna's jealousy. We
all know that Mark is a bad one,
and it would be easy to sympathize
even with a thief, or a corrupt Of
fetal, who had the hardihood tC
agitate Hanna's displeasure. But
the Star has summarily abandoned
the Hanna revenge theory and is
now pounding the officers who
worked up the testimony against
the accused collector.
No one knows better than the
editor of the Star the difficulty
of mailing down a corrupt Off
cial. To illustrate: Wasn't the
editor Of the Star Governor of Ari
zona two years instead of two
weeks? Our contemporary think:
that the officials who trapped Hoey
should be sent to the penitentiary
This would be rather hard lines
for officers who sought to do thei
duty to the Government that en-
ploys them. But if Webb anC
Hathaway and Dickey deserved
the penitentiary, we presume tha
the Star would recommend th'
burning in oil of person nameo
Lesinsky, with whom former At
torney-General of Arizona sough
to establish relations.
In trying to sneak it's way from
the Prohibition party to the Re
publican party, the Star exhibit
unusual zeal. The pervert is al
ways more extreme than the reg
ular. The apostate is ever read
to do the dirty work the less vii
party worker declines to touch
In defending corruption the Sta
shines in its native element.

tect 'ng WINS ofthe Attorney'Gen'
eral.
The other day the American an
THRUST league wrote to Mr.. Knox
requesting information concerning
the great steel trust. The Attor-
ney-General did not hesitate long
in making reply. He was short
and pungent. He knew absolute
ly nothing about the steel trust
did not even know that such a
thing is in existence, and the
whole tone of the letter would inn
ply that he held the organization
which has been formed to compel
an enforcement of the antitrust
laws in the utmost contempt.
The American antitrust league
and the Knights of Labor only
wasted stationery when they wrote
the letter requesting information.
The present administration ID un-
able to locate any corporation re-
sembIing trust. 1t has been
paid we'll for its blindness. And
no person connected with the Re-
publican machine not to mention
the legal adviser of the admins
tration is presumed to know any
thing about such matters. The
people have somehow been made
to believe that several trusts hav-
ing for their purpose the destruc-
ton of competition and the reduc-
ton of the masses to condition
of economic slavery have been
formed during the last three years,
but the administration denies any
knowledge of their existence, and
that is the end of it.
The people have no right to OBJ
ject to the peculiar blindness oI
the administration in general and
Mr.. Knox in particular. Previous
to the last election we were blessed
with several trusts but the ad
ministration did not see them
When pointed out the administra'
tion denied that they were trusts
in the legal sense. During the
campaign the Republicans espous.
ed, and openly espouscd, the prop.
osition that there were no trusts.
The Democrats insisted that there
were trusts in the eyes of the law
that should be proceeded agains
by the judicial department of the
Government. The issue was per
fectly clear. The people decided
with the Republican party tina
there were no trusts. And i
would be most unreasonable TO
them to expect Mr., Knox to dis
obey the instructions that the peo
pie gave him when they vindicat
ed the administration. The Re
publicans declared "There are M
trusts" The people indorsed thu
declaration. Therefore, there are
no trusts. Mr.. Knox is right.

THE American Federation OF
Labor is certainly justified in de-
manding the enactment of the
Chinese exclusion law. We, as a
nation, have a right to guard
against the yellow pollution and
to protect our laborers against
competition with the most de-
graded labor in the world. That
an effort will be made by certain
corporations to defeat the re, en-
actment of the measure is beyond
doubt. But If American labor vii
make knl wn its position with
proper emphasis congress will no
dare disregard it.

THE defiant attitude assumed by
Turkey toward France is not es-
pecially surprising. For years the
sultan has been able to carry things
with u high hand because of the
jealousy of his Christian adversar-
les. With a subtle diplomacy, of
which the oriental is alone cap
able, he has in difficulties placed
one nation against another, and
thereby escaped the punishment
he has so frequently deserved.

superiority is sufficient to justify
expectations on tho part OF Sir
Thomas that he will Gift the
cup" is another question.
The Constitution, which will de-
fond the America cup this year, is
probably not tuned up" yet to
the highest pitch. Otherwise her
performances in the trial races
with the Columbia. the defender of
1899, would apparently indicate
that the Irish yachtsman has a
fair chance to win in the interna-
tional contest this year. Mr.. Her
reshoff, the designer of Columbia
and Constitution, is reported to
have said two years ago that the
defender of 1899 represented the
extreme limit in speed. There are
many yachtsmen, however, who
beloved that when the Constitu-
ton is in good trim she will prove
a faster boat than the Columbia,
while none of them is ready to ad-
init that Shamrock is as good as the
cup defender OF two years ago.
Little is heard nowadays of the
yachts that figured in the interna-
tional contests in the past. The
chief among them was the Amer
ca, which fifty years ago went to
England and captured the Queen 8
cup in the memorable race around
the Isle of Wight. She is still in
existence, being the property of a
nephew of the late Gen. B. +. But
ler, and is expected to be present
at the struggle for yachting su-
premacy between the Constitution
and Shamrock III.
In 1861 the America was in the
service of the Confederate Govern
ment and was scuttled and sunk in
st. Johns river, Florida, to escape
capture. After the war she was
used for time as practice ship
at the Naval Academy at Annopo-
lis. In 1870 the America beat
James Ashbury's challenger, the
Cambria, although Franklin Os-
goods Magic was the first boat
home in feet of twenty-four yes
sells, America being fourth. The
Magic was wrecked near Whining
ton, Del, in 1882. Columbia, the
next cup defender, defeated Miv-
onia in 1871 and is still able to
carry sail, being owned by Phila-
delphia clubman. The Madeline,
the defender of the cup in 1876
against the Canadian boat Count
ess of Dufferin, is trim craft.
The Mischief of 1881, the Puritan
of 1885, the Mayfower of 1886 and
the Volunteer of 1887 are owned
by Boston yachtsmen. The Wig
liant, which defeated Lord Dun
ravens Valkyrie IL. is racing this
year with her rig changed to that
of a yawl. The Defender, which
defeated Dunraven' Valkyrie III,
was sold to a junk dealer. In their
day all of these yachts were heeter
than the best racing machines
which British skill and ingenuity
could devise.
| We have no doubt that the Con
stitution of this year notwithstand-
ing the accomplishments of Sham
rock II, will hold the cup in Am
erica. But the Yankee yachtmen
will have to yet up early and work
hard.

rHE FUTURE OF CHINA.

The representatives of the powers concerned in the
late embodiment with China have at last an
understanding the matter of the indemnity to he
paid by the vanquished empire and within the next
two weeks protocol will be signed that will result in
the withdrawal OF the foreign armies of occupation
After their departure the empire in the opinion of
those familiar with Oriental affairs, will quickly settle
down to it's normal condition and proceed to pattern
after Japan
The Chinese have been taught great lessons in the
past two three years, and If they profit by them
there is telling where they will stop in the improve
ment of Industrial conditions Claude Macdonald for

thinks that it will be developed less by foreigners
than by the Chinese themselves who are beginning to
inquire into foreign methods Of mining and transpora,

broken down, not slow to make progress.
To further quote Mr. Macdonald:
