Would Pine Gas From lola.

The dispatches for some time have
had more or less to say about plans
to pipe gas from the Kansas gas belt
to Wichita or Kansas City or to Jop-
lin, Missouri. The Allen county field
has not been considered in any danger
for use is found for the gas in the fac
tories here. A dispatch mlWichita
in Saturdays Kansas City Jour.
nal says:
William Harris, of New York is in
this city trying to get a franchise 80
furnish Wichita with natural gas. u
is proposed to pipe the gas distance
of ninety miles from lola or Neode-
shS. The ct 81 will be about 50, 900, 900.
Haypis, 1T is said, is backed by the
Standard Oil Company.
Mr. Harris has been in lola several
times. He was here this week, bot the
REGISTER understood that his inten-
tions so far as Allen couBsy is con-
cerned was mot to pipe gas away.
Furthermore Neodesha. is fity miles
closer to Wichita than lola. So il
does not seem probable that anything
will be done to hurt the lola beld.
1t would be we'll, just the same, for
every owner of Allen oounSy land,
whetheT there is gas on ioor not, if he
give lease on the land to insert =
clause providing that tho lease be-
comes null or void if any gas from
the place is Piped out of thocounty.

Attachment for $50, 600

Another step was developed in the
Crouch-Baumhofr feud Saturday
when Crouch attached the stock of
Mr.. Baumhotf in the lola Electric
Railway as security for the payment
of his claim against Baumhotf now
pending in court.
1t will be remembered that some
time ago Crouch brought suit for the
work he did in getting the line built
the amount of the suit being little
less than So, 600. Baumhoff denied the
liability and the time was set for hear
ing in district court. Mr.. Baumhofl
holds $50. 900 worth of stock in the
railway and sent it here to have new
stock issued in lieu of the old stock
While this stock was in town the sher
in attached it on papers gotten ou
by Mr.. Crouch's attorney.

Rig Strike at Cherryyale

Some time ago the REGISTER saw
what seemed to indicate the approach
of strike at the Edgar smelter in
Cherryvale, reported in the papers of
that town. But the story never devel.
oped. 1t 'was reported in lola
however, that an agent Of that smelter
had been here for a day or two trying
to induce some sixty smeltermen to go
there to work as strike of a goodly
portion of the employees was on. He
met with little, if any, success.
The boys here say that for a long
time there was difficulty in getting the
Edgar employees to unionize. Finally
work was piled on them until they
we're all ready to lay down. Then,
while the iron was hot, union was
started and quickly embraced nearly
the entire force. So the lola smelter.
men are not feeling any inclination to
90 down there and take the places OF
their union brothers who are out.

Mr. Chipman's return has revived the
agitation to secure the building of a

now result in something besides talk.

Two More JointIsts Taken

Saturday Deputy Sheriff Conley
went to Humboldt with warrants for
several of the men indicted by the
grand jury for selling liquor there.
He was not sure that he could find any
of them, but ran across James Corn
and Ed Rushton. Both were placed
under arrest but were restored 10 lib
erty on giving bonds for their appear
ance in district court when wanted. 1t

guilty, go to all and get the ordeal
over as soon as possible. The idea
that the law can be defed no longer
prevails.

GANG WHICH ASSAULTED AND
ROBBED DAIRYMAN NEAR
LAKEWOOD.

Thomas Lawrence, a dairyman. who was
attacked in his home near Lakewood

sensibility Saturday morning went to the
Tower and identified Henry King, negro
who is being held there as the murderer
of BaAiff Ed Battle in the rioting in Pitts

tackled him stole his shotgun at the same
time. and he picked out one of the guns

FLAMES AND MISSILES

FORT DE FRANCE, Island of Martin
ique, May 81, p. m.-The United States
steamer Dixie arrived here from St. Vim
cent last night and left early this MORN
ing for New York.
At 1870 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
submarine cable broke again and at 2
o'clock Mont Pelee was in violent erup-
ton. Reports received here say the
north craters are pouring great torrents
of mud in the direction of st. Pierre.
Yesterday evening there was an enor-
nous eruption of steam and ashes This
morning a correspondent of a New York
newspaper went to st: Pierre with the
government party. engaged in burning the
victims of the first eruption, but they
are afraid to leave on account Of the vol
cano throwing out smoke and ashes. The
river Blanc is again the course of a tor
rent of intensely hot mud, giving out
heat and falling into the sea.
A portion of the party which went to
st. Pierre this morning was in considera-

which took the newspaper correspondent
and his companions to the ruined town
SAYS ne will not return there again.
The re-establishment of business in
Fort de France is restoring confidence
and the work of relieving the distress in
distant districts is being effectively car
riaa out by local organization.

CHICAGO JURY is REBUKED
FOR ACoUITTING PRISONER

CHICAGO, May ga verdict of not
guilty in the case of McFetridge, ac-
cused of numbering his brother, brought a
reprimand to the jury from Judge Kama
waugh today.
'T cannot understand how you ever ar
rived at such a conclusion" said the
court. "If ever a man was guilty, Nc
Fetridge was that man. The evidence
was direct and conclusive. 1 would not
have been surprised If you had imposed
the death penalty"
William McFetridge and his brother
Robert had quarrelled for years. Follow
ing a suit in a justice COURT last fall,
which had gone against William, the latter
met his brother carrying a little girl. At
ter few words William McFetridge open
ed fire and continued to fire as his
brother ran away. The latter died after
reaching home.
McFetridge attracted attention at the
trial by taking up his own defense and
continuing it for three days. At the end
of that time he accepted the aid Of an
attorney.
He pleaded that his shots were fired in
self-defense. He said that Robert had
often threatened to kill him, and that he
was justified in taking no chances.
Several witnesses at the trial, however,
testified that Robert was unarmed and
made absolutely no move of threaten
ing nature against William.

FRAUD
UNEARTHED
by JURY
MANY INDICTMENTS FOUND BY
GRAND JURY IN ST. LOUIS
AGAINST MUNICIPAL Off
GALS.

ST. LOUIS, May S1.-The grand jury.
which has been investigating municipal
corruption with the assistance of Circuit
Attorney Joseph W. Folk, made it's final
report today to Judge Douglass. The re-
port says that while there may have been
corruption in other cities as great as we
have Had here, yet in no place in the
world and In no time known to history has
so much official corruption been uncover
ed These revelations have been so APP
palling as to be almost beyond belief and
IL will be years before the extent of the
discoveries are fully realized.
If the affairs of St. Louis had been
properly administered for the past fifteen
years and If all officials had been honest
there would today be enough money in the
treasury to put public buildings in repair,
pave streets that are now unpaved. make
sewers that are now unmade and build
new buildings so much needed. The high
tax rate. the deplorable conditions of pub
lie institutions, the depleted state of the
city treasury are an heritage left by off,
cials who have proven traitors to the in
terests OF the people and have trafficked
in their votes, influence and official ac-
ton 10 the city's detriment.
These disclosures make plain that the
taxpayers of st. Louis have been merci-
lessly and pitilessly outraged for years:
that the money they have paid in taxes
have been sqandered instead of being used
for the public welfare; 1t has been felon-
iously dissipated and benefited chiefly
corrupt officials who have grown opulent
on small salaries.
cit is in evidence before us that a
former collector of the city of st. Louis,
who was afterwards mayor, received in
terest on public funds for his own private
account. The sum so received was some
thing over $4,000, which with interest to
date, would amount to about $4,000 Any
possible criminal charge arising out of this
of limitation, which, unfortunately, is
three years. A civil action to recover the
money however. can still be brought and
we understand will be instituted.
1.-The secretary of the late mayor made
practice of selling permits and of ex-
torting money for remittances OF fines in
criminal cases.
"The charter Of the city provides that
no member Of the assembly or city Of
fetal shall be interested directly or indi-
rectly in city contracts or in furnishing
supplies TO the city. This benehcent law Is,
we find, most grossly violated by members
OF the rnuniciual assem- bly, =
Late this afternoon indictments were re-
turned against the following. who had al
ready been arrested on bench warrants
and released on bond:
Frederick w. Zeigenhein, secretary to
former Mayor Zeigenhein, ex-Speaker
House of Delegates harles F. Kelley,
Councilman Louis Schnell and Delegate
Charles L. Geraghty.

DUEL WITH KNIVES
WAS FOUGHT BY
TWO NEGROES
CROWD cHEERED coM8ATANTs
AS BLADES WERE SUNK TO THE
HILT IN BLEEDING
BODIES.

CHICAGO. May s1.-Two colored men
fought a duel to the death with knives
last night at Twenty-second and Dearborn
streets.
AS they slashed and plunged the weap-
ons into each others bodies a crowd of
more than fifty people formed a circle
around them and cheered the combatants
when one or the other drove the knife to
the hilt.
After ten minutes of fierce fighting AL
exander Shirley staggered and fell with
his adyersary's weapon sticking in his
body. The long. keen-edged blade had
pierced his heart. He was dead when
the police arrived. His slayer, Charles
Thomas, was. bleeding from several
wounds. The police hurried him to hos
pital. and after his wounds were dressed
locked him up. He will be charged with
murder.
Shirley came to Chicago recently from
Mississippi. He let Thomas last Mon
day and, having known him in the south,
tried to borrow money from him. Thomas
refused to give him assistance and they
ouarreled. Before parting Shirley, 1t is
said made the threat that when they
again met one or the other would die.
