BOTH PRISON AND COURT
Are Made Out of the Windsor Hotel
at Montreal.

New York, May 19.-There has been
an exciting scene in the corridor OF the
fifth floor of the Windsor hotel when.
for the first time in Canada within TIE
recollection of lawyers a hotel was
turned into a court Of Justice on sun
day, says a Montreal dispatch to the
Herald.
This event was followed by a determ-
ined effort on the part of the friends of
John F. Gaynor and Benjamin D-Green,
to gain fOrcible entrance to their rooms
Ten of the stOutest officers Of the Mon
treal police force stood guard over the
prisoners and when Attorney Tas-
chereau, the prisoners counsel, tried to
get through their line, he met with any
thing but polite trea tment
The clash came about over a rufnof
that the prisoners friends had a plan 20
rescue them. It was necessary to get
the prisoners out Of the hotel and so
Judge Lafontaine was sent for and told
that an important point was to be ar
gued. Followed by a dozen lawyers, the
judge went to the corridor. and within
so feet Of the rooms occupied by Gay
nor and Green he opened court. Law
yers for the defense declared they knew
of plot on the part OF the Onl1eo
States authorities to kidnap the men at
night and hustle them out of the coun-
try in the same way they had been
brought from Quebec to Montreal Mr.
Taschereau demanded that his clients
be at once removed to the common jail,
where they could be safely locked up
Crown Prosecutor Lemieulux had no
objection but Senator Danduran, acting
for the United States. denounced the
sta egnent of a plot as a falSehOOd-
It was then declared, amid great ex-
citement. that the reverse was the case
and the excuse of placing the prisoners
in jail simply meant that, as soon as the
men were out of the door of the hotel
hired men, hiding nearby would spring
upon the party and drive them to a safe
place.
Judge Lafontaine said he would go in
and see the prisoners, but Inspector
MacMahon showed him back and, back
/ ed up by the other nine men, shouted
/ defiance to judge or lawyer who dared
I to try to get into the rooms.
! Some of the lawyers decided to see the
attorney general who is in the city and
point out to him that no one had a
/ right to maintain a private prison. 9th
ers followed them and then the police
/ cleared the corridors.

the teachers of the city schools lost ner
situation because the board would not
allow her to teach in the schools If she

his immoral reputation.
A statement signed by all the rep

A statement from the faculty of the
Kansas State Normal school to the
effect that students Of the institution,
especially young ladies, were advised
not to have him wait on them in a pro-

his character for immortality
A statement of a similar tenor is
also signed by all the ministers of the
gospel including priests of the Catholic
church here
Emporia is thoroughly tired of this
parsonage and citizens generally are de-
termined he must 20.
AS for DR.. Meffert, he does not come
down in town save occasionally but re-
mains at home with his One-time wife
and couple of the young women who
have given up all their other friends for
him. Here he has a complete arsenal
consisting of repeating rifles and shot
guns, as well as a gOOdly supply Of re-
vOlvers, and he is reported to have said
that he will make it hot for anyone who
may attempt to modest him. 1t is also
asserted that he has two n en- employed
each night to watch his house. How
ever, this is unnecessary, as he has had
word taken to him from leading mem
bers of the committee that no Illegal
measure will be taken against him.
Stephen G. Conklin shot his wife and
mother-in-law and then himself on
March o. The younger woman was
thought to be fatally wounded at the
time, but recovered.
The day previous to the shooting of
his wife and mother-in-law and killing
himself ne told his tale of sorrow to a
number of people. He asserted that DR..
William Meffert, a physician of this
city, was the original cause of all his
troubles; that the physician had taken
advantage of his wife when she had
called on him for medical treatment:
that she herself had confessed this to
him, and had asserted that until she
he'd met the doctor she had never been
untrue to her husband.
This story, with corrObOrating circum-
stances, has been heard by every citi-
zen of EmpOria, and, together with the
well known fact that at least three we'll
known and formerly respected young
ladies of this city have Haunted their
disgrace before the faces of their own
relatives and the public generally by
riding about with Meffert and taking
their abode with him and his former
wife has caused the present action.

BRIGHT DAYS AHEAD.
Rev. F. L. Hayes is Optimistic About
Conditions.

Rev Francis L. Hayes, pastor of the
First Congregational church, in his Sun
day evening sermon on THE Bright Side
Of Present Conditions sees much Of hope
fulness in the tendency Of newspapers to
get away from sensationalism and to reach
a better standard.
There is a bright side of journalism -
said he 1T has been found that decency
can be made more profitable than formerly
was the case. One New York paper all
ready uses its motto: All the news that s
fit to print Even yellow Journalism has
its good side and that is in opposing the
rascals. In resisting certain evil condi-
lions in New York recently a particularly
yellow journals of that city used these
words which sound as though they were
from sermon. though they are not: It
would be- blow at family life, which is
the basis of all society Let US thank God
for this in the public press"
Rev. Mr. Hayes attributes the victory of
the better element of politics in New York
and Chicago this year to the fight for it
which the newspapers made, and especial
" to the support of the same which the
more sensational class of journals gave.
His sermon throughout was one Of op-
tiTnism, depicting the best there is in pres
ent day business, religious and educational
tendencies, and the hope which there is for
them in the future.

Mr.. JACKSON HERE.
He Holds a Session With a Few
of the Faithful.

Congressman A NJ Jackson, of the
Third district, the only Kansas fusion
1st IN the lower house of congress, is in
Topeka this afternoon. He is on his
way from Washington to Wichita to at.
tend the Democratic state convention
He has come all the way home from
Washington to tell the Democrats that
they ought to adjourn the state conven-
ton until the POpuliStS meet.
When all fusion arrangements fell
through a few weeks ago, Mr.. Jackson
started the adjournment idea, and sent
his secretary to Kansas to work it up.
1t has taken pretty well, but good
many of the Democrats who do things
do not believe there viii be any post
ponement
Our people cannot afford two con-
ventlons," said Frank Thomas, candi-
date Tor state chairman, today. Il
should have been glad to have had a
later convention, but now that it is
called and the time is so near at hand,
think there is little doubt that it will
proceed to business and there will be no
postponement- The effect would be the
same anyway. The Populists are going
to come into the Democratic party.
There are a few fellows who call
themselves Democrats, but who are not
who may try to make trouble. but I
don't believe they will accomplish any
thing. They are simply working in the
interests of the Republicans, and the
sooner we sit down on them or throw
them out Of the party the better"
A number of the local Democrats call
ed on Mr.. Jackson this afternoon. He
night, and be at Wichita by Wednesday
to confer with the Democratic leaders
before the convention.
He said he was too busy" to talk.
