SAW AN AUTO.
Two CarbOndaIe People Furnish An
other Cunningham Clue.

City Marshal Davis, of Carbondale,
has reported to Sheriff Lucas that he
has found two persons who saw an
automobile, carrying a man and a wo-
man, pass through that town about
midnight of Saturday, November 10.
One of the men, Bracken by name,
keeps a restaurant. He was closing the
restaurant as the automobile went past
and he saw that the vehicle carried two
persons. Sheriff Lucas thinks this was
the stolen automobile and Nate Fer
rand, alias w. B. Cunningham and
Vashti Cunningham.
Cunningham, who has been feigning
illness by shaking and trembling as if
palsied, wrote a note to his wife yes
terday and got a Jail trusty to take it
to her. The trusty gave it to Sheriff
Lucas first. Lucas read it and found
that Cunningham had Instructed his
wife when they appeared in court for
the preliminary hearing to throw her
arms around his neck and cry and
make a. scene in the court room.
Mrs. Cunningham did not take kindly
to the missive and in answer she told
her husband that as he had paid so
much attention to Mrs. Helen Firgu-
son, of Independence, the woman who
betrayed him to the officers, that he
best get her to fall on his neck and do
the crying.

SAVED THE SUBWAY.
Quick Work Prevents Flooding of
Underground Tracks.

New York, Dec. S1.-Quick work
by gang of men with picks and
shovels early today prevented a repe-
uuon of the flood of the subway
which occurred two weeks ago
through the bursting of a water main
36-fnch pipe burst near 145th
ana Broadway and threw a stream of
water high in the air. In a moment
II was pouring into the subway station
ana dozen passengers made timely
escape on a train, suffering only d
slight wetting- Men were hurried to
the scene and succeeded in diverting
the Hood in another direction by build
ing a dam Cellars all about were
flooded and the water reached a depth
OF inches in the street
ABOUT the break the water boiled
into a foam as it came from the
ground and then took a course down
grade as far as 137th street and to-
ward the Hudson river. Trolley car
slots We're soon filled and traffic along
upper Broadway came to a stop All
along in the side streets between
10 ath and 14Oth houses on both sides
We're soon flooded by the thousands
OF tons Of water. Tenants took alarm
and began to pack their belongings
preparatory TO moving out. Many
thought it would be unsafe to even
remain in their homes and started to
leave only to find that the water was
too deep to make wading safe. Not
a cellar from Broadway to the river
was left dry.
Assistance was called from the
water department, but on the arrival
OF the workmen it was found they
had no key large enough to shut the
gates controlling the main and it was
more than an hour before the water
finally stopped flowing.

HOME FOR AGED NEGROES.
One Has Been Organized in Topeka
by Local Citizens.

The National Rescue Home associa-
tion is a new colored organization
which has recently been organized in
this city with the primary object of
founding a home for aged and decrepit
people of the negro race. The associa-
ton is differed mainly by citizens of
Topeka The executive board consists
of the following members: Rev. J. NJ.
Pope, chairman; Rev. G. w. Harris,
secretary; P. c. Thomas, Banilis Big
bee, Mrs. Sallie Malone, Miss Nancy
Crow and Mrs. Ella Stoveall.
The national headquarters are main
tanned in Topeka and the home will be
established and maintained here. A
temporary location has been secured at
the corner of Chandler and Twelfth
streets, and the opening of this home
will take place On next week Tuesday.
A site for the aJerlnauent home, has
been under co,ariderafi IN and it is like
ly that property southwest or the city
in the vicinity of Seabrook will be pur-
chased. The funds witch are being Sc
cured to establish the plans of the So
ciety are being raised all over the state
and most of the contributions have
been confined to Kansas though the or
ganization is national in scope and con-
tributions will be solicited without the
confines of the state as well. The vari-
Gus church organizations purchase GER
tificates of membership on the payment
of SS and by monthly contributions are
supposed to aid the permanence of the
institution. In Ieturn for this each of
these churches is permitted to recon-
mend some one person to the associa-
tiOn as an inmate. The association
claim to have received considerable aid
from the citizens of Topeka and will
ask in time for an appropriation from
the legislature. The plans contemplate
the final expenditure of some $4,000.

ELUDED HIS GUARDS.
The President With Mrs. Roosevelt
Slips Out for Walk.

Washington, Dec. 31.-President
Roosevelt. accompanied by Mrs.
Roosevelt. left the White House today
and went for walk down Pennsyi-
vania avenue. It is unusual for the
president to appear walking on the
business streets of the city: in fact, so
far as is known this was the first time
he has walked along Pennsylvania
avenue since he entered the White
House. He frequently does, in fact
almost invariably. walk from the
White House to church on Sundays,
but his route then is not through the
business section of the city. Even on
Sundays he is accompanied by secret
service officers, who follow him dis
creetly at a short distance. Today,
however, the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt left the White House unac-
companied. In a few minutes the Off
GERS learned of their departure from
the house and a little while later To-
Gated them on Pennsylvania avenue.
The president was inclined to re-
gard as a joke the fact that he had
eluded his guards. President and Mrs.
Roosevelt were recognized instantly
on the streets, and as they walked
along the avenue were the recipients
of marked and respectful attention.
They were absent from the White
House about half an hour.

BAIL FIXED AT $4,000.
Mrs. Chadwick Weeps Over the Trials
of Her Husband.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 31.-Justice TIL
den in the criminal court TODAY fixed
the bail of DR.. Chadwick at $4,000:
Attorney Dawley stated that bond
for that amount will probably be
ready when DR.. Chadwick arrives
here.
with tears streaming down her face
and wringing her hands in nervous
excitement Mrs. Chadwick listened in
the corridor of the county Jail to the
rea ding of the Associated Press dis
patches telling of the scenes enacted
on board the steamer Pretoria incl
dental to the taking into custody Of
her husband, DR.. Chadwick, by Sheriff
Barry.
Mrs. Chadwick, unable to control
her feelings, interrupted the reading
of the dispatches with almost every
word with some comment.
ooh, my poor husband" she ex-
claimed between her sobs, 'to think
that he must be dragged into this
terrible charge against me. He is as
innocent of any wrong-doing as an
unborn babe"
When the paragraph of the dispatch
stating that DR.. Chadwick would
travel to Cleveland. not as a prisoner,
but as the guest of Sheriff Barry, was
reached, Mrs. Chadwick exclaimed:
THANK God for that"

GAVE HER BABY AWAY.
Mrs. Lizzie Upton Was Anxious to
Dispose of Her New Born Child.

Mrs. Lizzie Upton who claims St.
Louis as her home gave away her baby
boy, newly born, to the Orphans Home
last night without the least bit of SEEM
ing reluctance. At about nine o'clock
Mrs. Upton, who claimed to have come
to Topeka in search of an errant
spouse, applied for lodging at the
boarding house of Mrs. Bradford, 421
Jackson street.
She stated to Mrs. Bradford that she
had come to Topeka in search of her
husband who she understood had come
to Topeka. She claimed to have been
employed as clerk in a dry goods
store in st. Louis and though not pos
SeSSed of very much in the way of
riches she appeared to have enough to
take care of herself for a few weeks at
least. She had a telescope and was
fairly well attired. But a few hours
after being assigned to her room she
summoned and in turn he notified the
president of the Orphans Home that
the mother claimed that she was un-
able to look after the child and could
not afford to keep it.
Mrs ]. +. Daniels, the president of the
home, went to the woman and informed
away the child permanently and that she
would lose all her rights over the babe
if she gave it in the care of the home
Mrs Upton replied that she was willing
to do this, as she could not afford to keep
the child, since her husband no longer
made for the childs arrival and there was
not the least bit in the way of clothes at
hand. In lieu of anything better, blan-

children. The mother, who appears to be
quite refined. is about 26 years of age,

torney Halls removal was made by

best to dispense with him, particularly
in connection with the land fraud
which has been conducted by Hall.
Earlier in the day Senator Fulton,
of Oregon, had a talk with the presi-
dent concerning land fraud cases
which have been instituted by the
government in Oregon. but whether
this case had any relation to the re-
moval of Hall could not be learned.
Mr.. Hall was endorsed for reap
pointrnent by Senator Mitchell and
Representative Herman of Oregon,
both of whom recently went to Port
land, where they appeared before the
grand jury in connection with that
body's consideration of the case grow
ing out of the public land fraud case

WILL EMPLOY PORTO RICANs.
Secretary Taft VIII Try Them on the
Panama Canal.

Washington, Dec. Sit has been de-
cided to experiment on the American
zone on the isthmus of Panama with
laborers to be taken to Panama from
Porto Rico. Secretary Taft at the con-
clusion of a conference with the presi-
dent today said that he expected to
have about 500 porto Rican laborers ta-
ken to Panama with the idea of intro
ducing them into the canal work.
Should the experiment prove success
full it is quite likely that thousands of
Porto Ricans eventually will be in
duced to go to Panama to work on the
canal

RUSSIAN JOAN OF ARc.
Feeling among the Russian peas
antry at Kasan has been reused to an
intense pitch of excitement by excit-
ing appeals made to them by a SIM
pie village girl who has suddenly
been seized by religious frenzy. She
has been tramping from village to
village imploring peasants to take
up arms, and allow her to lead them
against the Japanese.
The local authorities put her
under arrest, but the villagers releas-
ed her, and marched with her at the
head in q religious procession from
village to village, carrying images
and sacred banners.
The peasantry confound the Japa-
nese with the Germans, and are under
the impression that the war is being
waged somewhere in European Russia
and that the Germans may be ex-
pected to attack their villages any
