but insist the railroads should bear a
portion of the burden
The merchants claim their goods were
either destroyed or damaged by reason
of the action of the railroad employees IN
attempting to remove the shipments TO
places of safety after the floods had be-
come general In ST. Louis and Kansas
City the yards and freight warehouses
were filed with goods when the waters
OF the river commenced to rise and the
railroad companies proceeded to remove
all this. AS the water continued to rise
the freight was taken to other points
and in the end the situation became so
grave that many tons OF merchandise
were abandoned for lack of facilities to
handle the. cars.
The shippers set up the claim that
the railroads removed their merchan-
disc from the point of destination with
out authority and for that reason the
companies cannot, with reason. set up
a claim that the destruction or damage
of the property was due to the ele-
ments. Had the goods been permitted
to remain in the warehouses or freight
cars and then damaged by the floods,
the shippers claim. they would have no
recourse in law, but inasmuch as the
roads sought to protect themselves by
taking the shipments to other points.
the roads should be made to stand at
least a portion of the loss.
Officials of roads entering st. Louis
and Kansas City were reticent when
questioned regarding the threatened
suits, but intimated that any actions
brought would be contested to the limit.
They insist they were trying to protect
the shippers as well as their own in
terests when they removed the freight
from the path of the flood and declare
that instead of being asked to stand
the loss or any portion of it they should
be thanked for their efforts. The mat
ter promises to develop many interest
ing situations before being settled and
it is said many of the shippers already
have made overtures for compromise.
Whether or not these will be consider
ed remains to be decided upon after
the officials of the railroads involved
have held a conference.

HENDERSON PUT OUT.
City Detective Is No Longer a Church
Member.

Inc pastor and a few members of B
Street Baptist church, colored are
after" Abe Henderson, a policeman
and member (until last night of the
flock. Henderson has charged the mas
tor. Rev H. w. White, with misappro-
prlating funds entrusted to him for the
benefit of the church.
Last night meeting was held and
Henderson was 'churched" according
to the ancient system of religious meet
ings. Henderson declared that the
meeting and his exclusion were uncon-
stitutional, because he was not admit
ted to the meeting or given a chance to
make any defense.
Il have facts and figures to prove the
charges 1 made against White" said
Henderson today They knew it, and
he and his adherents were afraid to
give me hearing in the church meet
ing for fear l would nail them to it,
On July IL Henderson made the charge
against White. 1t was to the effect that
White had failed to account for $500 of
church money expended by him, and
was $132.90 short on receipts. The
church appointed a committee to inves-
tigate the matter This committee.
Henderson says, was called surrepti-
tiously, without giving him a chance
TO appear and substantiate his charges,
and failed to show book or account
when they made their report. Hender-
son says he has proof that some of the
bills turned in as receipted are unpaid,
and that If receipt shows on the face
of them it Is a forgery. On July 10 the
committee made public a counter state
ment UNFOLDING the pastor and declar-
Ing that the accounts were all straight.
After the flood" said Henderson,
REV. c. NJ. Sheldon gave the church
800 to be used in repairs on the church
He also gave White so for his personal
benefit. Instead of using the $100 to
clean out the basement of the church
and make the other repairs, for which
Il was intended, he called a meeting. of
which only his adherents were notified
and they voted the 500 on his back
salary. 1 know what I am talking
about. have the proofs, and would like
to see the matter get into court.
Recently" continued Henderson,
white sent his wife back to Tennes-
see. She was a good woman and well
thought of by the entire congregation.
White said that she was a 'detriment'
to him here. The facts were that far
from being a detriment she was a great
help, and was means of keeping the
congregation together. The entire pro-
ceedings last night were irregular and
/ shall call an ex parte council soon
and put the case before them"

OPENED BY BECKHAM.
Kentucky Democratic Campaign
Started at Winchester.

Winchester, KY, Sept. 5. A crowd
estimated from 1000 to 10000 was pres
ent at the opening of the Democra tic
state campaign here today. Speeches
ators McCreary and Blackburn and
Congressman Ollie James. Thousands
of gallons of Burgoo was dispensed.
Governor Beckham said:
I intend that the contest shall be
an aggressive, not a defensive one; that
the people shall be thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the issues involved and that in
the full light of public view the Demo-
cratic party, willingly. and the Repub-
l1can party, unwilingly, must stand
upon their respective records. and the
people judge between them. This is the
policy which we demand, ana we in
tend to drag our reluctant adversaries
from the dark receSSes of a 'gun-5hOe
campaign and make them fight US, il
they viii. in the open light of day.
While they seem to have determined
upon quiet and secret campaign, re-
lying upon the power of a big corrup-
Gratis may be lulled into a sense of
over confidence, we are determined to
compel them to stand up and assume
entire responsibility for the evil record
they have made in this state.
I'VE have nothing to conceal; we in
wife "a full and unfair investigation of
our record. and we gladly go before the
people upon that record, believing i'm
and in the righteousness of our cause.
THAT the Democratic officials have
done everything in their power to put
an end to the troubles in Breathitt
county, no one disputes. They were
purely local and not half so serious as
the feudal outbreak in Clay county
during the last administration. If the
Republicans had shown the same de-
sire to punish the assassins of William
Goebel that the Democrats did to pun
ish Marcums assassinS, both crimes
would now be avenged
I am glad to give hope to you of a
brilliant victory at the polls in Novem-
ber. l ask for the Democratic people
of Kentucky that they shall be not
with a small majority, but
that they scale up such a tremendous
vote, one that will remove for a long
time to come all danger of Republican
supremacy, take Kentucky absolutely
out of the doubtful column, and send
God cheer to the hearts of the national
Democracy. Let the victory be COM
plete and permanent, and let us send
out the promise with reason and con-
the country that next year when our
party ticket is nominated Kentucky is
certainly for it by a good old fashion
ed majority. 1t can be done, it will be
done. if our people will only realize
the brilliant opportunity before them
and will do their full duty in tbs cleo
ton. The Democratic party in Ken
lucky is more united and harmonious
now than it has been in ten years
Most of those who left us in 1896 and
1899, have returned to the fold and we
should greet them with heartiness and
cordiality. Let the past be forgotten
and let us stand together, shoulder to
shoulder, as Democrats with our hearts
full of devotion for the welfare of our
state and nation"

WILL MEAN MILLIONS.
Shippers and Railroads May Litigate
the Flood Claims.

As a sequel to the recent floods in the
south and southwest the railroads in
suits aggregating millions of dollars by
merchants and other shippers who claim
that property of various kinds was de-
stroyed in transit.
The situation has become so serious
that it is probable the roads most in
terested will take joint action in OPP
posing these claims.
The claim departments of the various
lines entering St. Louis and Kansas City
are being besieged by shippers, who
claim the railroads are responsible for
the safe delivery of freight after it has
been receipted for by their employees.
The conditions printed on the backs of
freight receipts stating that the -on-
panies are not responsible for the raw
ages of the elements have been pointed
out by the railroad people. but these do
not satisfy the shippers. The latter adj

WHOLE STATE FORCE
Can Now Be Hurled Against
Strikers at Cripple Greek.

Denver. Colo, Sept. 5.-The first train
bearing the contingent of the national
guard ordered to Cripple Creek yester-
day by Governor Peabody in connection
with the strike of the miners in that
district, arrived at Gillette at O'Clock
this morning. There was an idea that
troops would not attempt to enter the
camp until daylight. Since the start
from Denver, Adjutant General Sher-
man Bell has perfected plans for the
mobilization of the entire state militia,
numbering 1900, should he wish to do
So An arsenal will be established ana
within "a hours 100000 rounds of ammu-
milton will be collected in the gold camp.
When asked whether he anticipated any
serious trouble, General Bell said:
81 do not know what we shall meet
with, but shall be prepared for any
thing that may turn up.
RumorS that an attempt would De
made to interfere with the progress of
the troops toward Cripple Creek caused
General Bell to change the route OF
travel from the Short Line to the Colo
RADIO Midland. So perfect were the ar
rangements that none of his personal
staff knew of the generals intentions
until they were aboard the train leaving
Colorado Springs. Prior to the depart
IRE of the main body of the troops
from Colorado Springs, a special bear
ing armed militiamen was sent out.
Detachments from this company were
droDped off at the bridges along the
route and left to guard them until the
several sections following were passed
safely over. So far the journey of the
troops has been without any incident

BRITISH TRADE IN CUBA.
It Is Affected by the Reciprocity
Negotiations.

London, Sept. 5.-The report of the
British minister al Havana, Mr.. Garden,
on the trade of Cuba for 1902, was is
sued today. He says:
1.-THE prospect of reciprocity conven-
ton between Cuba and the United States
being eventually sanctioned by congress
has not failed to affect British trade by
lettering Cuban merchants from ac-
cepting proposals to open up business
relations with British manufacturers.
There can be no doubt that with or
without the reciprocity convention, Brit
ish merchants have to bestir themselves
if they wish to retain their present share
of Cuban trade.
Combination alone is likely to prove eff
fective in maintaining our commercial
nosition in this part of the continent
Reviewing Cuban trade, Mr. Garden
says:
1T is encouraging to note the steady
increase in vegetables for export and the
of Cuba's resources other
than tobacco and sugar.

BETTER CONSUL SERVICE.
President Roosevelt Will Inaugurate
q Regular Promotion System.

Oyster Bay, Sept 5.-An important
change of policy with respect to the
making of appointment in the consular
service has been decided upon by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He discussed the change
with Assistant Secretary State Francis
B. Loomis.
For many years it has been practical
ly the uniform practice of presidents to
appoint men to positions in the consular
service substantially without reference
to whatever previous experience they
may have had. Quite naturally, the
president endeavored always to select
for appointment men of integrity and
ability but experience was not deter
mining factor in the equation.
President Roosevelt, after consulta-
ton with Secretary Hay, Assistant Sec
rotary LOOMS and members of his cab
met not Immediately identified with the
state department has determined to APP
point hereafter to important places in
the consular service men who already
are in the service and have had that
experience and training of minor posi-
ton which will render them the more
capable of filing places of higher grade
and greater importance. The change in
policy does not extend civil service TO
the consular service and it does not ex-
tend, necessarily a consuls tenure of Of
f1ce at any particular place; but it does
give reasonable assurance to the manu-
featuring and commercial interests of
the United States which particularly
are interested in the extension of coun
try's trade that in comparatively brief
time all important consular situations
will be filled not only by men of char
acter and ability. but by men who. by
training and experience are especially
qualified to advance the trade interests
of the United States.
Mr. Loomis discussed with the presi-
ident several appointments in the SER
vice that are to be made soon- 1t is
understood all of the appointees will be
men who now are filling places of lesser
Importance in the service. They are to
be promoted. and in turn their places
will be filed by men who have not had
the experience they have had.

Police of Topeka Try a New Tack on
Jointists

The police have taken a new tack on
the jointists Yesterday they began TAX
ing everything of a portable nature IN
the places. The first raid made on
sheep Lyle and o. Kempton, who
moved over to the north side. In their
place at the corner of Curtis and Kansas
avenue was found a bar several chairs
and a table, all of which were conlis-
Gated with the small amount of liquor on
hand.
The arrest of Charles Lawson,
H. Fletcher. John Bowen, Henry Schnoor,
r. S. Hopkins and Mike Kelly followed
rapidly. In each place raided the fur
nishingS were removed and the back yard
at the Jail is full of cheap pine bars.
The police have had trouble in catching
anyone at L.awson's place, ia West Nor
ris street. but were successful last even
ing. They found H. Fletcher seemingly
in charge and arrested him and a man
named Leslie, who was ps esenI and made
some move TO interfere. They also found
the hiding place of the brew" which
was in tub of ice water under the floor.
They also found an alarm bell connected
with the livery barn next door, which is
used to warn the proprietor when the po-
lice come in sight Six of the jointists
were found guilty and fined this morning.
Bowen got 500 and 60 days, and Schnoor.
Hopkins, Fletcher, Lytle and Kempton
the 800 and 80 days each. The case
against Kelly is pending and Leslie
was discharged.

CARS ON EAST FIFTH.
EyesOre of Is Years. Standing
Is Suppressed.

Cars for the Santa F'e depot are now
running on East Fifth street, and the
East Fourth street line is being torn
up and rebuilt. The new plan was
adopted at 1 o'clock today and it will
be continued in operation until the
Fourth street line is ready. The cars
do not run any further than the Mis-
souri, Pacific tracks, because the COM
pany has as yet made no agreement
with the M. p. for track crossing.
There is a slight dispute about the
paving of East Fifth street where the
car tracks run. 1t has been the under
standing of the city officials that the
street car company agreed to repave
all the old street car right of way mere
Mr. Collins, the superintendent of con-
struction for the company, under
stands that this agreement was made
by the old Vinewood company, and
does not bind the present city railway.
Mr.. Collins is willing to pave a strip
8 feet wide, but the old right of way
was about IL feet wide.
The Kansas avenue track is now be-
ing laid in concrete. This will give a
much more solid roadbed, and will pre-
vent sand sitting down, and allowing
the paving blocks to sink
1t is the plan of the company to weld
all of the rails on the avenue. The
welding machine will arrive in a few
DAVIS and will begin work This will
put each rail practically all in one
piece. The only breaks will be at
switches

HENRY LOSES CASE.
Druggist Refused a Liquor Permit by
Judge Hayden.


The druggists who apply to Probate
Judge Hayden for permits to sell liquor
find that they must prove to the entire
satisfaction of the court that they own
the store for which they ask a permit.
c. z. Henry was the first druggist to
be caught in the net. Some months
ago George Overfield, when the war was
on against the druggists. surrendered
his permit to sell liquor at the Topeka
drug store.
Then Henry applied for a permit for
the store on the ground that he owned
il. Friday afternoon the application
was heard by Judge Hayden Henry
testified in a rather vague way at the
morning session that he owned the
store, having bought it from Overfield
for 81 600. He stated that he had given
drafts or checks on Topeka banks for
the purchase price. The court was not
convinced, as Henry did not under
stand the system of bookkeeping suffi-
cient to explain the transactions. Hay
cashiers of the banks would be sub
poensed and they would be required to
testify as to the transfer of the money.
The outcome was that the court was
not Convinced that the sale was boni-
hde and the permit was refused
Joseph Kramer, who bought the
Blackman store. had applied for per-
init and had his case. heard Friday aft
ernoon. He appeared in court with the
cancelled checks to prove that he paid
s.. 600 for the store to c. r. Jones.
kramer also had the drafts to show
where he got the money. The court
was satisfied that Kramer owned the
business and the permit was granted.
