METHODS OF new MACHINE.
S. F. Ukele, of Holton, Explains
Walkers Proposed Plans.

walkers proposed HlanS.
Mr.. S. F. Ukele, a prominent busi-
ness man from Holton, and one of the
delegates from Jackson county to the
state convention at Wichita, on his
way to the convention said to a State
Journal reporter today: The contest
by A. D. Walker, the defeated candi-
date for railroad commissioner in jack
son county to unSeat our delegation,
has neither justice or reason to support
it. All of the precincts carried by w.
A. Thompson, candidate for railroad
commissioner, and Case Broderick, the
candidate from our county for con-
gress, were fairly carried and there will
be proof presented to the committee on
credentials to show it, if Walker IN
SiStS on his contest. Mr.. Walker ad-
mitted that he was beaten and tele-
phoned it to his friends over the coun-
ty, but he and Mr.. Logan, the chair
man of the county central committee
and a partisan of Walker, later went
to Topeka, conferred with the Purity in
Politics leaders and returned to Holton
and commenced preparing for contest
at the state convention. Clearly the
idea originated in Topeka.
There was but one township in our
county CEDAR where any considerable
number of Democrats voted. Ihere
were more votes cast in Cedar town
ship at the primary than ever at any
general election and this township
went for Walker 3T1Q GURUS as against
Thompson and Broderick, although a
majority of the Republican voters were
against them.
1.-THE delegates as elected in our
county to the county convention stood
in the convention 76 for Thompson and
Broderick as against AS for Walker and
Curtis The primary in our county was
fairly conducted and this contest is en-
tirely without merit. There will be no
more reason in admitting the contest
ing delegation for Walker in our .coun-
ty at the state convention than there
would be in picking up the same num-
Der of men on the streets of Wichita
and seating them in the state conven-
ton as the delegation from Jackson
county. If such d precedent is estab-
lished by the Republican convention
there will be no more confidence in pr1-
maries or conventions in Kansas. 1t
will be as great an outrage as the
'Populist war of a few years ago to
unseat the rightfully elected members
of the state legislature and seat usurp-
ers. That action was condemned by
the people of Kansas from the house
tops. If the usurpers from Jackson
county are seated by the state conven-
ton at Wichita and similar contesting
delegations from other counties
throughout the state are seated. the
Republicans in Kansas who believe
that there should be fairness and hon
esty in politics will not submit to such
an outrage"

SHOT TO DEATH.
Negro Murderer Killed by Mob
at Springfield, o.

Springfield, O., March S.-Richard
Dixon, a negro, was shot to death here
last night by a mob for the alleged
fatal shooting yesterday morning of Po-
lice Sergeant Charles Collins. Dixon
came from Cynthiana, KY. The mob
was composed of 1000 men but those
who killed Dixon formed a number far
smaller than that, probably not more
than $50, most of whom entered the
county Jail at II o'clock, dragged Dixon
to the outside of the building, fired
him. and then tied rope about his neck
and hanged him to a telegraph pole
where the body was riddled with bullets.
There have been eleven murders in
Clark county in the last two years and
in no instance has there been a convic-
tion for first degree murder. and this
fact more than any other is responsible
for the event, the first ly1ching IN the
history of the county. There has never
yet been a case Of capital punishment
from this (Clark) county.

been kicked almost 20 death he was

JAPANESE PREPARING
FOR GENERAL ADVANCE.

ST Petersburg, July 22.--The army or
gan Russ evidently believes that the
japanese are preparing for general
advance from the east against the Rus
stan left, The paper estimates the Jap
anese purpose as follows.
THE probable object of the Japanese
advance Is to move into the Lao river
valley, which is north Of our position
IN the forward movement OF the main
army which is posted along the Mo
Tien. Lakho and Japan passes, with
front 10 miles 10 the south Of the SAL
matsza- Lao Yang road. The advantage
OF the delay consists In the possibility
AFFORDED OF endangering our cOmmuni-
cations north Of Lao Yang and the
thanking Of Lieut. Gen. Count Kellers
army In the north"
Regarding the new advantage gained
by the japanese still further north OF
the Siamatsza-Liao Yang road the
army organ considers that the japanese
operations there and the superiority Of
their forces at Mo Tien pass, as shown
In the engagement Of July H. prove
that there have been great changes I'm
the numerical composition Of the Jap
anese forces, and adds;
Undoubtedly the newly formed re.
serve units have been sent from Japan
TO strengthen the armies and some OF
the Japanese forces are being brought
north from stu Yen. II Ia not probable
that the japanese intend to make an
attempt TO occupy Lieut-Ge Count
Kelers position at Zanza pass, which
would render 1t much more difficult for
him to take the offensive. But II is
scarcely probable that the japanese in
tend with this column TO advance upon
Lao Yang or Mukden Such a move
would be extremely dangerous without
q previous victory on the Lao Yang
high road. and would call for the de-
ployment OF very larges forces for
which the saimatsza- lsiao Yang road Is
not suitable"

Love Cr0Zed Street Car Mans Rash Deed
Ills o

Clarence Kenney, a streetcar motor
man, was arrested at 1880 today In the
Occidental roomng house for a MUIR
derous assault on Mrs. Mary IL. Nichol-
as and Matte, her eighteen-y ear-old
daughter, committed at their house, 1867
east Seventh South street, shortly after
last midnight. He will be charged
with assault with intent to KILL unless
the wounds of Mrs. Nicholas prove
more serious than they appear to be at
present. They were inflicted with a
pocket knife and consist Of several deep
gashes the most dangerous of which
is a cut 10 inches long above the heart,
and extending under the left arm.
Kenney has been living al the Mich
olas home for six or eight weeks. He
was in love with the landlady Last
night he went into her room while she
was In bed and they quarreled. She
ordered him away He refused to go.
Mrs. Nicholas called her daughter and
the latter was about to telephone for
the police when Kenney according to
his own admission, exclaimed: III you
are looking for trouble, you can have
It here, without any police" With this
remark. he drew a pocket knife and
began to slash right and left. He cut
the girl IN the arm--not dangerously
and dragging Mrs, Nicholas across the
room, repeatedly ran the sharp blade
across her arms. legs and body, which
was clothed anly IN a night dress,
Liberatng herself the woman ran
into the front yard, screaming. Her
cries attracted the neighbors and she
was hurried into an adjoining house
while Kenney made his escape into
the darkness. Before he got away,
however, he grappled with a man who
resides on Palm avenue and dropped
his knife.
Or. Benedict was summoned to at
tend to the injured. Meanwhile the
assailant came down town, rented a
room at the Occidental on First South
street and retired.
