.ELDORADO MAYOR
is SUED HERE
Was One of Attorneys in Nor
riSOn Case.
TTODETERWITNESS
Is Charge Alleged by the
County Attorney.

The Jessie Morrison case has got to
Wichita. Yesterday afternoon County
Attorney Comfy filed suit against Z. y.
smith. mayor of III DORADO, charging
him with having attempted to keep one
of the witnesses for Jessie Morrison from
testifying. MIR. Smith is not only mayor
of the city of Ell Dorado but he was one
of tbs attorneys for the prosecution in the
Morrison case.
1t is alleged in the case fled here that
MIR. Smith came to Wichita and on June
=, sent a message from here to Pearl
Beardsiey who had been subpoenaed on
the case, and who was working in a iaun-
Try in Newton, advi. ing him that Deputy
Sheriff Swiggett was after him and that
he should dodge the sheriff
in the petition filed the exact words of
the message are stated. The message
was signed C. o. Beardsley, the father
OF Pearl and the defense claims that T..
n Smith had no right under any law
to use the name Of Mr.. Beardsley or at
tempt to keep Pearl Beardsley from tes-
tifying.
This point may have n strong bearing
upon the application for new trial,
message which it is alleged was sent from
here to Pearl Beurdsiey at Newton, was
as follows:
Sheriff Swiggett will be there with
subpoena tomorrow. Dodge him. Wife
tell him have gone to Hutchinson.
&C o. BEARDSLEY.'
Judge w. II Morrison, the father of
Jessie Morrison. made the complaint here
against Mayor Smith. There were others
here from FL Dorado interested in the
case The Morrison case has evidently
got into somewhat of a fractional fight,
but this will have nothing TO do with the
case fled here against Mayor Smith If
hr. Smith sent the telegram from here
and it was not authorized. the case will
come up in this city in the district court
and W. be decided by Judge Dale.
The petition filed yesterda yrecites in
part: con July ~. the defendant did
then and there unlawfully and wilfully
attempt to induce the said Pearl Boards
ley to withhold his evidence in said cause
wherein the state of Kansas was plain
II,
and did then and there unlawfully and
wilfully attempt TO deter him. the said
Pearl Reardsley. from appearing at the
trial of said cause and did
then and there attempt to deter him, the
said Pearl Beardsley, from giving evidence
III said cause.
At the time of the last trial there was
considerable trouble in getting Pearl
Beardsley but he was on the stand at
the proper time This. however. in the
eyes of the defense. does not clear Mr..
Smith from the charge which has been
made against him in the alleged attempt
TO deter witness from tcstifying.
Miss Morrison is now out on bond and
there is a napplication for a new trial
pending before the state supreme court.

WANTS eINeERcAKE STATUE.
Learned Partisan So Ridicuies the In
Vulnerable Bronze Figures.

Paris. May 3O-The learned NJ. Mag
maud. President of the Supreme Court OF
Cessation. has astounded all Paris by re-
ouesting his admirers to erect a ginger
cake statue to him. At first blush people
feared that a profundity of legal lore had
unbalanced the great jurist's mind.
But such is not the case. NJ. Magnaud
has a reputation for half humor and
.beral play Of fancy. For some time he
has been troubled about what he con-
sjders a too great multiplicity Of bronze
statues. which according to him disfigure
the City of Light and according TO
another well-known Frenchman leave
scant room for the statue of the mann
who will win back Alsace and Lorraine
President Magnaud thinks it no special
distinction to have bronze statue erect
ed. and he believes that statue OF gin
gerbread will have more meaning. at
least as long as it lasts. Bronze is a
hard and infiexible metal, which does not
symbolic the tender soul of the good
judge.
There is point in the statue OF bread,
because Judge Magnaud once covered
with praise a poor woman who In extreme
necessity took a loaf to feed her little
ones. If those who are hungry should
mass by the statue President Magnaud
will not object to their eating it. A jest
er rises to remark upon the congruity of
a statue not surviving too long the glory
which it idealizes.

QUEENS REVENGE
On HAUGHINESS
Queen Draga of Servia HumiI-

REFUSED TO KISS HAND
Made Her Do 1t and Then
Fired Her
REFUSED TO KISS HAND

Vienna, May 3O.-Queen Draga of Ser
via, according TO the gossip of the court,
few days ago made an example of a
naughty Servian lady who carried her
adherence to the anti-Draga party TO the
extreme of informing indiscreet friends
that she would not dream of demeaning
herself to the extent of kissing the hand
of the Queen.
Several times at court she pretended
10 be unacquainted WITH the rules of Ell
quette and thus was able to adhere to her
resolution. Unfortunately the lady's re-
mark reached the Queens ear, and early
the next morning she was summoned to
court. A royal carriage was sent TO fetch
her and il was impossible for her to de-
cline the honor.
Queen Draga was waiting for her at the
door Of the palace. and at once extended
her hand to be kissed. The kissing was
duly performed, whereupon Draga said:
Now get out of my house.
The revenge was complete, for a dozen
members of the palace staff witnessed the
humiliating scene. and circulated exag-
gerated descriptions of it through Bel
grade that day.

genuine Specification in view of the I'M
Outstanding that the projected visit of the
President of France to Rome next fall
will be fruitless so far as the audience
with Leo XIII. is concerned
The president has been privately in
formed of the Papal decision in the hope
that he will not ask for an interview. but
it is feared that NJ. Combes will use his
influence TO assist on meeting in the
hope OF a refusal justifying the suppress
sion OF the French Embassy at the Va
tican.
The interview between the German En-
peror and the pope is already bearing
fruit
A ripper time could not have been sought
by the Kaiser to move for the protection
of German Roman Catholic missions In
the Far East-hitherto a right exercised
by France. The action of the French gov
eminent in expelling the congregations
has naturally aroused the indignati2a Of
the Vatican.
This. together with the proposals of
Emperor William. has caused the Vatican
to take up the attitude OF great energy
and a bull will shortly be issued recogniz-
ing the Kaisers exclusive right to protect
German Roman Catholic missions in the
East.
The Protestant press in Germany is
taking great pains TO explain that IL Is
not on account OF the advice of her ply
sicians that the Empress did not accom-
pany the Emperor on his Italian journey.
The announcement TO this effect was
made by the official organ Of the court
This, say the Protestant journals, was
merely a pretext. The Kaiserins dis
position toward the Pope was that OF
any Protestant woman, and she would
have been subjected to all those sensa-
tions experienced by every Protestant
heart at the sight of the Pope"
Besides the publications argue. the
Kaiserin, being a lady, could not be ex-
pected to pay the first visit. The proteS-
tant people of Germany should certinly
thank Her Majesty for her bravery IN
abandoning the journey"

SLEPT FOR MONTHS.
Pretty Partisan Is Put in Queer Condi-

Athens, May 3o-Marie Daskalak, a
pretty girl of seventeen, is the object Of
a popular subscription of money to take
her to Paris in the hope of getting her
awakened from a sleep that has lasted for
months. The history of the case is unique.
The girl suffered from a chest affection.
and being absolutely destitute was given
a bed in the "Evanghelismos" hospital,
where when near recovery she was so
frightened by seeing a woman dying in
the next bed that she lost consciousness,
and has now been sleeping for five months
and a half.
She has since been removed to her par
ents' house, and awakes every five or six
days, but falls to sleep again almost i'm
med;ately. She scarcely eats anything,
sleeps with her eyes open, and appears not
to hear anything. She is, however, very
sensible in her waking moments, but at
the slightest sound falls back unconscious.

~ AM POPE, NOT YOU"
Leo Sits Down on Cardinal Rampolla
for interference.

Rome. May 3O.-It has just leaked out
that Cardinal Rampolla, papal secretary,
is in semi-disgrace for disagreeing with
Leo XIII. about the manner of King Ed
wards visit at the Vatican.
Cardinal Rampola, who was aware of
the unwillingness of the King TO pay a
formal visit, insisted on the strict OBJ
servance of the ceremonial followed by
other sovereigns, which would have oblig-
ed His Majesty to start from the Eng
lish Catholic College and not from the
Embassy accredited to the Quirinal.
But the Pope was anxious TO see the
King again and disregarding the Cardi-
nails advice made advances to provoke
the visit, which His Majesty courteously
made in a private capacity.
When Cardinal Rampolla openly com
planned that his advice was not follow

London, May 30.-There was an anus
ing expression of opinion in Commons
the other night. Mr.. Galloway Weir, who
was recently nearly knocked down by an
automobile, took occasion OF a vote for
metropolitan police to give vent to his
feelings regarding what he characterized
as 1.-The automobile horse" He urged
the Home Secretary TO arm the police
with lassoes to capture recalcitrant driv-
ers The Prime Minister might be lassoed
with the others. but he must take his
chance. Motor bicycles were another in

for human life than they have for flies.
