That impression I have never expressed
to anybody and will not do so until I
should begin an action against certain
parties for conspiracy to defraud. NY
in the 'get-rich-quic business can be
a subject of a conspiracy to defraud,
just as much so as a merchant. I have
said but I certainly did not know I
was saying it in the hearing of a news
paper man. that John ]. Ryan could
properly be a plaintiff in a suit to re-
cover money which he paid to a certain
representative of persons connected
with the postal department. This state
ment was, as ] understand it, repeated
to a high official at Washington, who
requested my presence at his office. But
I repeat, that I did not see Mr.. BristOw
and that L have not stated anything
about this matter to any official or
newspaper man previous to the present
time"
Mr.. Campbell said that he did not
know anything concerning Barrett. The
persons whom he had reason to believe
guilty he said, were others than Bar
rett or General Tyner, but at the pres
ent time he would not care to say who
they were"
That part of MI Campbelrs statement
in reference to Mr.. BristOW. fourth as
slstant postmaster general, is known
here to be correct Campbell did not
call on Mr. BristOw, but made his com
plant direct to the president. 1t has
been difficult for anyone to offer an in
telligent explanation of the reasons why
Campbell, as a lawyer representing
Ryan & Co. should want an exposure.
This concern. like numerous other get
rich-quick" institutions in Cincinnati
St. Louis. Kansas City and other cities
appears to have been heeced by lawyers
who had official connections and part
nerships. These concerns have been
practically routed out of business. and
revenge alone would prompt them TO
force prosecutions by the government If
they are now prepared to testify 1t viii
not be a difficult matter for the fourth
assistant postmaster general to get
quickly at the bottom OF the facts.
A request for General Tyner's resig-
nation should come through Postmaster
General Payne, and the statement is
made from a source friendly to the
postmaster general that he did discuss
ner before his departure on the Dolphin
for Cuba the advisability of the latter $
resignation. It is said in this connection
that General Payne informed General
Tyner that in view of the latters poor
health the interests of the service de-
handed that he should give way to a
younger and stronger man. General Ty-
ner's refusal to comply with a known
desire for his resignation. coupled with
the announcement that others in the
postOffice department have prohted by
their connections with get-rich-quick
concerns, substantiates the impression
that the conspiracy in official circles is
much more extensive than has hereto
fore been intimated in the newspapers.

SLOT MACHINES GO.
Not One Could Be Found in
Operation Today.

Act I, Scene /. Place-Topeka-
Enter Official City Paper wearing the
new law prohibiting the use or main
tenance Of slot machines.
Exit, slot machines.
Other acts to follow later-maybe.
This is the tragedy of the slot ma
chine. After swallowing the pennies,
nickels and quarters of the pOpulace Of
Topeka for the past ten years with re-
morseless greed it is to be ehaced- The
legislature passed the law and the law
has been printed. It is now in operation
and the slot machines are turned TO the
wall
For years there has been city ordi-
nance against the slot machine but for
Just as long a time that ordinance has
been dfsregarded. Since the present ad-
money machines, which are really one
of the worst forms of gambling device,
have been protected. That is the differ
ence between a city ordinance and a
state law
This morning a reporter conducted an
investigation on Kansas avenue and not
slot machine was in its accustomed
place. A few were turned TO the wall
as a significance that they were out or
operation, but most of them are gone
They are now the legitimate prey of the
law and may be destroyed upon the
conviction of the owner or the person
in whose possession they may be found
A fine of from 500 to $500 or lmprlSOn-
ment Of from thirty days TO one year is
the penalty for keeping the machines.
Al estimate of the number of money
machines in Topeka at 200 is close
There are probably in the neighbOrhOOd
of one thousand of the cigar machines
Of one sort and another. In many up
town stores there are four or five and
in ore cigar store there are 5 many as
eight One druggist whose store kept
two small machines at the cigar case
said today that he calculated that the
two machines increased his cigar sales
20 per cent, although as far as he was
able to judge the machines themselves
were fair and paid for the house no
more in value than they did for the
customer. He said:
When man comes in to buy cigar
he is likely to drop his nickel into the
ma chine. In the course of four or five
plays he will win quarters worth
of cigars and will hand one or two of
them to his friends. If not he will
smoke that much more. In any case
he buys more cigars than he intended
to do when he came into the store It
is that way that the cigar machines
pay"
a restaurant keeper takes a different
view of it
I am glad of it." he said when told
that the law had passed the legislature
the other day. If the other stores in
town had taken them out we would
have done it long ago. The slot ma
chine is a nuisance here because 1t
keeps a crowd of men hanging about
the counter all the time. The machine
doesn't win anything much for the
house but it makes more sales of cigars
It's good thing for some stores but it
is a sort of nuisance in this restaurant
Apparently the men in Topeka who
keep slot machines are disposed to COM
ply with the law. The county officers
have not vet made any move toward
driving the machines out but are giving
the keepers of them an opportunity to
remove them themselves.
