the purpose of holding a jubilee to cele-
brate the execution in Mexico, presum-
ably by members of the order, of Chin
Mon Yuen, a Chicago celestial who
eloped not long ago with the wife of his
Chinese employer, DR.. Don Sang. The
couple were traced to New York and
the man brought back He jumped his
bail and all efforts of the police of Chi
cago and New York failed to locate the
pair, who took with them $4,000 of Dr.

New York, July 29.-When he saw
Mother Jones advancing up the front
steps Senator Thomas G. Plat left by
way of the back door of the Oriental
Hotel, at Manhattan Beach, and hid
himself in the car that leaves for New
York at 1928 in the morning.
The car did not start for five minutes
after the senator entered it, but Mother
Jones did not learn where he was until
too late to appeal to him.
Mother Jones had announced last
night that she intended calling upon
the senator early this morning, and at Z
o'clock she mustered her troops in front

been entertaining her and her soldiers
at Coney Island. He lent to her an ele-

Sweeney and the army When the
drum corps struck up a lively march

OF the advance of Mother Jones and
prepared for instant flight. Mother
Jones marched up the front steps and
into the office and inquired for the SEN

to ask his influence with President
Roosevelt to obtain the presidents APP

was told the senator had gone.
The elephant went to the side of the
building and crouched down just beside

FLOOD MONUMENT
To Edward Grafstrom and Other
Haroes.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
l notice in a recent issue a clipping from
the Railroad Gazette in which it is said
that the railroad conventions at Saratoga
have started fund 70 erect a monument
in memory of Mr.. Edward F. Grafstrom,
late of the Santa Fe mechanical depart
ment, who lost his life while rescuing flood
sufferers on the evening of June and
that it is probable that portion of the
money thus raised will be in the form of
an annuity for the benefit of Mrs Graf
strom.
1t occurs to me that a division of this
proposed work is eminently proper and
that Topeka should build the monument.
l would suggest that it bear the names of
those men who lost their lives in the at
tempt to save life and that it be made to
stand as an evidence of our appreciation
of unselfish bravery and that it be attrac-
lively and conspicuously placed to secure
that end.
Topeka people should be invited to con-
tribute to it, small amounts from hundreds
being more desirable than large ones from
few: the style and place of the monu-
ment to be determined hereafter by a
committee elected by those who contribute
to the monument fund. A. s. EMBREE.
