o. II. Bentley and Family Return from
Colorado.

o. H. Bentley and wife and nephew,
Roy Bentley of Belmont, Kingman coun-
ty, returned yesterday from their months
trip in Colorado. Mr.. Bentley says that
he is heartily glad to return to where
the crops grow naturally While he great
ly enjoyed his outing he is tired of rocks
and scenery and trout, and is more than
ever convinced that this is the garden
spot of the country. Mr.. Bentley and his
party spent two days in Colorado Springs.
one week in Twin Lakes. one of the most
beautiful spots in the Rockies. stayed
over night in Leadville which is now
very dead on account of the strike, then
went to Norrie and occupied a place
owned by Mr.. Bentley and Mrs. Foster
S. Brook of this city. Hunting and fish
ing was the order of the day here. After
getting fully sated with fishing and some
hunting, two days were spent in Glen
wood Springs and the balance of the
time in Denver. The Glenwood Springs
and Denver sojourn was thoroughly en-
joyed in connection with Mr.. Fred Alley
and wife. who were finishing their Colo
RADIO outing. Elmer Beach and family,
j. A. Webb and family, DR.. John Min
ick and Walter Minick and wife. Hiram
Norcross and WIFE and p Nj. Anderson
and wife of Wichita were seen enroute.
County Attorney Eckstein, Arthur Noble
and Phil Aherne were in camp at Norrie.
The radical changes made by the late
Colorado law in the time for killing deer,
grouse and other game has kept thou
sands of tourists out of Colorado this
year In addition to this prolonged labor
strikes in Cripple Creek. Leadville and
other mining centers has made business
exceedingly dull in Colorado.
Il met Mr.. Frank C. Wood and Mr..
w B. Throckmorton and their families in
Denver on their return from prolonged
trip to the coast and sound said Mr..
Bentley. II had some little talk with
these gentlemen about the places We had
visited and business generally over the
country. and 1 fully concur with the ex-
preston used by Mr.. Wood on that occs-
sion. He said: We live in the garden
spot of this country"

SPEED HAS
the PAPERS
Can Criminal Proceedings Be
Instituted?
A PARTIAL INVESTIGATION
Additional Evidence Has In
spired Close Inquiry.
A PARTIAL INVESTIGATION

Guthrie, o. T., Sept. 5.-It has been
strongly intimated around the territorial
offices in this city during the past few
days that certain territorial and federal
officials have considered the advisability
of instituting a criminal case against
James ]. Houston, former secretary of the
territorial board for leasing school lands,
on account of alleged ''crookedness" in
the leasing of territorial school land, in
the new country-the counties Of Kiowa,
Caddo and Comanche. The representative
of the Eagle has it from reliable source
today that all papers and information in
the Houston case have been turned over
TO United States District Attorney Hor-
ace Speed, by Governor Ferguson, for
the purpose of looking up whether or not
criminal action can be brought against
AIR. Houston.
The territorial board for leasing school
land made a partial investigation Of mat
tiers relating to Mr.. Houston's actions in
leasing matters. While no finding was
ever made against the former secretary,
the evidence was of such a character
that Governor Ferguson determined that
he should not be retained in office. Since
Mr. Houstons removal, additional evil
sence has been secured which reflects
more seriously upon his official acts, and
st is evidently on account of this infor-
nation which reached Governor Fergu-
son that the papers were turned over TO
United States Attorney Speed.
Governor Ferguson, when asked about
the matter, positively declined to discuss
st, and made no comment upon the sug-
gestion that United States Attorney Speed
already had the papers in his possession.
According to the statements made by
Governor Ferguson a few days ago. he
is evidently convinced that there was
collusiOn in the leasing of school land in
the new country, and that if a federal
case is made against Mr.. Houston. other
persons alleged TO have been in on the
deals viii he shown up.
Since the papers have been turned over
to the United States attorney it is certain
that the former secretary OF the board for
leasing school land viii be prosecuted,
If possible. Ding to the fact that the
school land is still government property,
and only held in trust by the territory, it
is d case of a federal nature if brought.

AIDS BANKS

St. Louis Institution Drawn on
for Fair Funds.
ARE SHORT OF CASH
Secretary Shaw Accepts City
Bonds for Security.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-Secretary Shaw was
in Chicago today on his way to Dead
wood, S. D., to attend a meeting of the
American Mining Congress. 1t was un-
derstood that he had taken action to re-
lieve the ST. Louis banks from the strain
incident to expenditures on account Of
the Louisiana Purchase exposition. Asked
as tod what action he had taken, Sec
retary Shaw said:
THE banks at ST. Louis have advanced
directly probably three millions of the ten
millions expended upon the exposition
grounds and buildings and indirectly
nearly the entire amount. III addition to
this they have advanced two or three
millions in concessionaries. They are now
facing the annual demand for money to
move crops and are shipping out from
100000 to $4,000 per day. The govern
ment in certain sense, has accepted
co-partnership interest in the exposition.
At least, it has appropriated s5,5OOoo0 to
aid the exposition. This is available
only to meet the current expenditures.
ITO relieve the present situation 1 have
arranged TO deposit two and one-half
millions In the banks of st. Louis. This
would be of no advantage to the banks
If they were compelled to purchase gov
ernment bonds as security therefor They
have tried to borrow the bonds, but they
are not available. In order to assist the
banks such securities as the banks can
furnish must be accepted. The banks
can furnish such securities as the legis-
lature of New York ha sapproved for
savings banks, and L have agreed to ac-
cept the same as security for the two
and a half fmillion dollars as 80 per cent
of their par value. In other words, the
banks will deposit five millions of state
and municipal bonds, such as New York
approves as security for money belong
ing to widows and orphans. and upon
this five millions the government will de-
posit two and a half millions. This, how
ever, is intended as a temporary loan
and VIII be gradually recalled as the five
millions appropriated are expended. The
banks designated to receive s500.0O0 each
are the State National. Third National,
Fourth National, National Bank OF
Commerce and Merchants Laclede Ma

SAID TO BE DYING.
County Attorney of Sumner County in
Serious Condition.

Word was received in the city yesterday
that Emera E. Wilson, the county attor-
ney OF Sumner county, who recently re-
turned to his home in Belle Piaine in a
ically after a mysterious disappearance,
was in a dying condition and that there
were little hopes entertained by his fam
iiy and friends for his recovery. Many
reports have been published and spread
abroad regarding his condition. some of
which intimated that his illness was
farce. but the report brought TO this city
yesterday was from Belle Plaine and is
said to be genuine.
Wilson. it win be remembered, disap-
peared from his home at Belle Plaine
about two months ago. and few days
later his wife received a letter from him
written at Topeka stating that he con-
templated suicide. About the same time
the Topeka authorities found some Of
the clothing belonging to Wilson on the
banks OF the Kaw river and the general
supposition ives that ne had fulfilled his
word and had committed suicide. After
his disappearance it was discovered that
some of the county funds were also miss
ing and a search was begun for Wilson.
The search was in vain. however, and
nothing was learned of the whereabouts
of the missing attorney until one morn
ing about month after his disappear
ance, when he was found in an uncon-
scious condition at the door of his home
In Belle Plaine. He was in an extremely
emaciated condition and mentally unbal-
anced. Since then his condition is said
to have varied, sometimes a little better
and then again serious. He has had mo-
ments when he appeared perfectly ration
al, but 1t has been impossible to learn
anything regarding his mysterious trip
more than was learned from the papers
and letters found upon his person at the
time he returned home. The authorities
have brought no action against him, and
it is thought now that it will not be nee
essary.
There is some conflict in the reports of
the condition of Mr.. Wilson and the Well
ington papers of yesterday state that he
is improving
