DEFENDS TRUSTS.
SchWab Says They're Necessary
to Commercial Progress.

Paris. Jan. Sic Journal prints a
long interview this morning with Chas.
NJ. Schwab, president of the United
States steel corporation, who defends
trusts as a necessary outcome of an adj
vanced state of civilization. Mr..
Schwab says that the countries where
trusts do not exist are destined to
abandon the struggle for commercial
supremacy. He says that the trusts
have nothing to fear from socialism and
that American workmen are better paid
and happier under the trust system
When people earn good wages, he says,
their rights do not trouble them.
Mr.. Schwab said further that the COM
mercial power of the United States was
unlimited and unlimitable; she will in
undate France with her products and
force the French industrial classes to
abandon the struggle. America is only
beginning. The old world has no idea
what the United States will become a
quarter of a century hence. All here
belongs to the middle ages.
Mr.. Schwab approves of the French
plan of Industrial schools in the United
States, but expresses his fears that the
graduates of these schools, when they
return to France, will be paralyzed by
the old ideas prevalent here, and will do
little or nothing.
LIE Journal also announces that it is
in receipt of a letter from NJ Lebaudy
denying any connection with the re-
ported gift of 81, 900 600 to the University
of Chicago for the establishment of a
French school in connection with that
institution.

THE MARTINDALE CASE.
Another Move in the Litigation Over
the Lands.

The Martindale case has been re-
opened by the government in the action
brought by Rossington. Smith & Histed
for E. F. Brown, receiver of the First
National bank of Emporia, who has
filed cross petition in the case of VIM.
Martindale VS.. r. T. Beatty, the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty company,
Calvin Hood, I. z. Lambert and others
in the district court.
In the petition Brown asks that a new
trustee be appointed in place of r. T.
Beatty whom he alleges is guilty of
breach of trust in the disposition of the
property.
The court is also asked to hold the
bonding company responsible for the
sum of $4,000 the amount of the bond
secured by Mr.. Beatty.
The cross petition alleges that Hood.
Lambert and Beatty formed a conspir-
acy. to dispose of the entire property i'll
one lot to Hood at a great reduction,
when its full value could have been OBJ
tanned by selling in small divisions.
Judgment in the amount of the full
value of the land in excess of what was
paid for it is asked of Beatty, Hood and
Lambert.
Is. F. Hayden, attorney for the Usage
City bank, one of the creditors of the
First National bank of Emporia, has
filed a claim for judgment against the
estate for $235S.S5 1t is thought the
other creditors will do likewise.

HIKI IS CAUGHT.
Street Fair Wild Man Stole a
Pig.
Tried to Sell 1t to His Victim
and Was Arrested.

A. Brown, a colored man living in
the bottoms was arrested by Officer
PaVey today on the charge of stealing
a hog from the Wolff Packing company.
1t is apparent to the packing house au-
thOritieS that Brown 'slooped the loop
by first stealing the hog and then SELL
ing it back to the owners Eleven car
loads of hogs were unlOaded at the
chute last night, and a few dropped out
side the pen. Before daylight this
morning Brown was seen driving hog
away from the yards, and few hours
later he borrowed a wagon and present.
ed the hog for sale. The buyer pur-
chased the animal and gave him a
check for the amount. Later the pack
ing house people became suspicious and
made an investigation which led to the
arrest of Brown. Brown is the negro
who played ''Hilxi, the wild man. at the
street fair, and chewed raw meat for
the amusement of the public.
A case was called in police court this
morning wherein one Claude Hughes
was defendant and Mr.. d. Neal was
half of his daughter, Miss May Neal.
Hughes was arrested but was allowed
to go without bond, and none of the
parties were present when the case was
called. The case stood something like
this: Miss Neal was employed at a
hotel where Hughes was in the habit of
feeding himself Miss Neal had a ring,
and in some manner Hughes got pos
session of the ring and proceeded to
wear it himself Neal pere called on
Hughes to return the jewelry, and go'
nothing but a stony stare. Neal pere
hastily sWears out a warrant for
Hughes charging him with petit larceny.
In looking at the case the court saw
no serious offense in a young man wear
ing a ring belonging to a lady friend.
and that it was probably a case of
goo goo eyes, of which Neal pere was
not cognizant. The court then decided
to forget it, taking for granted that an
understanding had been reached by the
parties concerned.

Lit Crum OverWhelms Presi-
dent With Endorsements.
Secures All State officers and
Even Cyrus Leland.
JUDGES AND SENATOR'S.
Nearly All in State Add Their
Influence.
Many Politicians Expect, How
ever, That Crum Will Lose.

If L. S. Crum does not land the United
States marshalship it will not be be-
cause he has not hustled" for endorse
xnents. He has paid no attention to fac
tons but has overriden all factional
boundaries. He is one man whom Lee
land and Burton are agreed upon. Crum
is an old-time friend of Leland, and al
though he deserted the Leland camp
and went over to Buttons support in
the senatorial campaign two years ago,
Leland does not hold it against him.
Leland'S fidelity to his friends is IL
Illustrated by an incident IN the recent
pension agency contest 1t was sug-
gested to Leland that he could save his
own office by pulling wires to sacrifice
Crum and switch Metcalf to the mar
shalship. as some of his friends were
trying to do.
No" said Leland, Il will do nothing
of the sort. Crum is a friend of mine
and 1 would not be guilty of sacrificing
a friend to save myself"
That is why Crum has the support OF
both Leland and Burton and many of
the friends of both.
During the holidays Crum pulled ev-
cry string to secure endorsements, and
here is the list he has forwarded to
Washington up to the present time:
Twenty-Five out of the 81 Republican
state senator's
of the Republican state central commit
tee.
All the judges of the supreme court.
All of the state officers.
All the members of the Kansas con-
gressional delegation.
Judge Hook of the United States dis
trict court
Frank L. Brown. clerk of the United
States district court and ex-secretary
of the Republican state central commit
tee.
From his home county he has all of
the county officials of Labette county
All the city officials of OswegO, his
home town, and five m inisters of Os-
wego besides.
In addition to this he has Senator
Burton and d. w. Mulvane, national
for him.
It would appear as though a man
with this sort of an aggregation behind
him ought to be able to land but re-
President Roosevelt will not appoint
him. There is no telling, however,
what the president will do. Precedents
do not count with him.
Some influence has determined Pres
ident Roosevelt against Crum but what
it is is not known. Crum's friends ad
N it that charges of some sort have been
filed in Washington against him, but
charges are or they will not tell. They
simply say the charges are of a general
nature and are not specific.
number of people heard President
Roosevelt state positively that he would
have turned Crum down had not Sem
ator Burton withdrawn his support
from Crum's candidacy. Burton re-
neWed his efforts in Crum'S behalf,
however, and Crum sent in his endorse
mentS, but there is no indication that
the president has changed his mind.
One influence that ought to count in
Crum's behalf is that fact that he has
the enmity of p. T. Foley. Foley and
Crum are rivals in Labette county, and
they do not even speak as they pass by.

WHAT OF GRIMES.
Rumored That He May Be
United States Marshal.

State Treasurer Frank Grimes was
inconsderate enough to spoil a good
story that the state house goSSipS had
fixed up this morning.
Grimes left town on an east-bound
train Monday evening. He carried d
mysterious air about him as well as
his overcoat and grip. There was moth
ing very singular about Mr. Grimes
having a mysterious air in his posses
teriouS than usual.
The politicians began to whisper
Some of them guessed that Grimes was
headed for Washington. Others thought
that he was going down to Lawrence
for another interview with Charley
Finch. People who had seen him as
he was leaving said he had declined to
state where he was going, but he said
it was all right
Then followed the news from Wash
ington that Crum would be finally
turned down. The gossips thought they
saw through Grimes movements at
once-he was bound for Washington to
corral the United States marshalship for
himself. His influence with Senator
Burton, coupled with the fact that it
may be necessary to select some new
man for the appointment, gave color to
the story.
The report had gained considerable
Roadway today, when Grimes spoiled it
all by appearing at the state house
again Now the gossips are guessing
that he went down to Oswego to- break
the news gently to Crum.
1t is quite probable that Mr.. Grimes
would take the marshalship If it should
come his way. 1t is good for four years

BELMONT BEATEN.
Seventh New York District
Passes to the Republicans.

New York, Jan. S.-Montague Less
Ter, Republican, was elected to congress
in the Seventh district, to succeed Mich
olas Muller, Democrat, resigned. He
beat Perry Belmont, the regular Demo-
cratic candidate, by 1874 votes, the count
showing these figures: Lessler, 1871;
Belmont, 1888.
The rest of the vote was: Ward,
Socialist Democrat, 107; Lindinger, In
dependent Democrat, 135; Bennett,
Greater New York Democracy, 1872.
The Seventh congressional district is
made up of Richmond borough, Staten
Island and thirty election districts in
the extreme lower end of this city.
There were five candidates in the field
Perry Belmont, Democrat; Montague
Lessler, Republican; Christopher Ward,
Social Democrat; Fritz Lindinger. In
dependent DEN ocrat, and John E. Ben
nett, Greater New York Democracy.
Belmont and Lessler were the chief
candidates, however. There were a con-
test over the Democratic nomination
between Mr. Belmont and Joseph F.
O'Grady, each of whom declared him
self to be the regularly chosen nominee.
Justice Scott o. the supreme court, de-
cided in favor of Belmont and O'Grady
and Lindinger, who had announced him
self as an independent candidate,
thereupon withdrew. Lindinger with
drew too late to have his name stricken
from the official ballot.
The canvass was a bitter one as re-
CARDS Democrat factions. Charges of
the free use of money were frequent
and Superintendent of Elections Nc
Cullagh discovered a plan of wholesale
colonization. During the day the Nc
Cullagh deputies made score of ar
rests among them those of ex-Alderman
Joseph yelling and John Pye, a Demo-
cratic district captain, who were taken
to court on a charge of having abetted
eacyic fr-raf ion Wa
in 81, 600 bail until Thursday.
George B. Jolliffe, chairman of the
board of election inspectors, was also
arrested on the charge that he had per-
mitted four men to vote on the names
of two registered voters. His bail was
fixed at 81 900.
