WILL QUIT EMPORIA.
Santa Fe Has Ceased Unloading
Spoiled Goods There.

Emporia, Kan, July 1.-The Santa Fe
has unloaded it's last lot of flood freight.
The men began work week ago yes
terday and have cleaned up about sixty
car loads of spoiled goods. In all two
hundred and twelve car loads were
billed to Emporia containing flooded
goods. There are still some hundred
and fifty car loads on the waiting list
The men worked over from five to eight
car loads a day.
The people have much complaint
about the stencil from the cars, but the
city has tried to do the right thing by
the railroad by permitting the unload
ing. However, the railroad has decided
that it can work the cars better at
Florence.
Auditor Healey said the railroad was
not making the move because the city
was forcing it but for convenience. At
Florence there are three tracks On the
middle track there will be a line of fiat
cars and on each side a flood cars will
be unloaded on the fiat cars. The men
at work have stayed by the job, but
say they are mighty tired of it. Only
one had to quit because of sickness.

TO CHANGE SABBATH.
Jews Discuss Proposition to
Make 1t Sunday.

Detroit, Mich, July 1.-The Sabbath
question, one of the most important
matters now before the Jewish people
was taken up at tOdays session of the
central conference of American rabbis.
Rabbi j. VOorhesanger of San Francis
CO, chairman of the Sabbath committee
appointed at the last meeting to consid-
er all phases of the Jewish Sabbath and
the question of changing it from Sab
bath to Sunday, presented the report of
the committee.
The committee after a most careful
consideration decided that it had no
jurisdiction to recommend anything in
The nature of legislation looking toward
any change and declared that the con-
ference was incompetent to legislate any
fundamental Jewish institution out of
existence
The committee reported that a defini-
ton of the religious authority that
should regulate the authority and disci-
pline of the Jews was paramount to any
other question. They recommended the
creation of a national conference COM
posed of rabbis and iaymen constituting
an authority 20 which all rlruGi and dis
cipline questions might be referred This
plan is in effect scheme to consolidate
the conference of American rabbis and
the union of Hebrew congregations for
the purpose of creating an organic un-
ion between both bodieA The commits
sion also reported that while historical

declare change from Sabbath to Sun
day schismatic they would prefer to rel
egate so important question to future
authority properly constituted to decide
it, Immediately after the report was
read the rabbis went into executive ses-
sion to consider it and announced that
at it's close they would issue a state
ment on the deliberations
Before the Sabbath question was ta-
ken up Rabbi Philipson presented the
report of the committee on relation be-
tween ra bbi and congregation
After some discussion the report was
referred to a commission of seven for
further consideration, the committee to
report Friday

POLITICS DID 1T.
Secret Pardon of George III.
Thomas, Destroyer of Homes.

A dispatch from Lansing. Kan. states
that George H. Thomas has been par
doned out of the penitentiary where he
has been serving 12-year sentence
since 1897 for criminal assault. The
pardon was issued June 81. but no in
formation of it has been given out from
the office of Governor Bailey.
The pardon of Thomas is said to be
victory for his political friends over the
people of Garnett. where he was con-
victed An effort was made to secure
a pardon for him during Governor STAN
ley's administration. and failed because
of the opposition of the residents of
Garnett.
The crime charged against Thomas is
that he accomplished the ruin of Ger
trude Baird a 16-year-old daughter of
Mrs Augusta. Baird, who had held a
very respectable place in society at
Garnett. Thomas was a joint keeper.
To conceal his crime, he gave the girl
drugs which caused her death. The
day before she died, she made a writ
ten statement to Judge Johnston, ac-
cusing Thomas of being the cause OF
her misfortune. This statement could
not be used at the trial, as it was not
in the nature of ante-mortem state
menk.
Reno county politicians started the
agitation for Thomas pardon, and Gov
ernor Stanley received letters from
Senator Vincent, ]. r. Burton, ana
others, advocating his release

EXPENSE WAS S425.
What 1t Cost to Conduct the
Flood Relief.

The expense of maintenance Of the
Charities association headquarters, from
which the homeless of North Topeka
have been fed, will for the two weeks
ending Saturday next. have been about
$425. The association is now furnishing
food to between 200 and 300 persons.
Every case is being carefully investi-
gated and with few exceptions the indi-
viduals securing aid are worthy of it.
There is a considerable contingent of
destitute women and children unable to
help themselves.
Nearly 800 was expended at the OPEN
ing of the Charities association head
quarters in the work of moving supplies
from the Auditorium and sorting and
arranging them in the association
building at 1115 Kansas avenue. Since
then about 5000 has been paid out on
orders for food while the purchase Of
1853 pairs of shoes was made OF one
North Topeka establishment, 500 be-
ing paid for the lot. There is a steady
demand for womens clothing and shoes.
To fit applicants out with shoes from
the contributed supplies has been i'm
possible, hence the purchase in North
Topeka. No mems underclothing is be-
ing given away. Generally the work of
the Charities association is we'll in hand
and the clientele of the establishment
is being trimmed down as rapidly as
possible The prospect is that the insti-
tuition will have some business all sum-
mer as a result of the North Topeka

DEBs AT EMPORIA.
Talks to a Large Audience on
Modern Problems

Emporia, Kan, July 1,-Eugene v. Debs
lectured on Modern Problems last ev-
ening at the Emporia Chautauqua and
talked three hours to an interested audi
ence. DebS is a pronounced socialist The
gist of his address was that competition is
to blame for all the labor and capital
troubles. Cooperation he advocates as the
remedy. The rich are getting richer and
the poor are getting poorer because capi-
talists are knitting each other and cheap
labor is the cry Debs says he can prove
that the American workman is the poorest
paid laborer in the world, even poorer than
the Chinese. Labor saving ma chinery is
running the money into the pockets of the
capitalists and cutting down the prospects
of the laborer. One man power is reach
ing out of the cities into the country and
Debs says it will not be long, if the present
status of affairs continues, until all the
small farmers must be absorbed by the
larger ones
Debs favors trusts so far as they tend
to do away with competition. He says
the English conquest in South Africa and
Americas in the Philippines is solely on
commercial greed basis for dirty dollars
Debs says he hates strikes-calls them a
brutal way of settlement. The other side
OF the socialistic question will be presented

He LOVED THE WOMAN.
Stafford Murderer, Lew Wright,
Tells OF His Troubles.

Hutchinson, Kas., July Lew
Wright, the Stafford county murderer,
was brought here for safe keeping by
Sheriff Johnson of that county Accord
ing to the only eyewitness, the father
of the victim, A Railsbach. the killing
was cold -blooded and unprovoked, and
the citizens of the community are very
indignant. There was talk of lynchlne
and as Stafford has no secure Jail it
was deemed wise to- pTing the muir
derer here. Wright admits the killing
and is very nerVeus.
He attempts to defend his action by
saying that Railsbach started to draw
a gun. Both the wounds are in Rails
bach's back, although one entered from
the side. Wright says he was standing
directly in front of Railsbach when the
first shot was fired and that Railsbach
turned. The second shot was fred after
his victim had fallen. he says.
When speaking of Mrs. Horner, the
woman in the case, Wright nearly shed
tears. He said he was engaged to be
married to the woman at one time, but
that the engagement had been broken
by her and that Railsbach was the
cause of the rupture. He is a rough
looking man, and his face and hands
are bronzed by the sun.
