Wills Her Fortune-Parents' Objections
Strengthen Suicide Theory.

A dispatch from Big Stone Gap Va, says:
"A woman has appeared in the Wentz case,
strengthening the theory of suicide. 1t Is
alleged that Miss Cornelia Brookmyre of
St Louis had been engaged to the young
broken at the Instance of the parents of
Wentz.
That Wentz still cherished deep affection
for his former sweetheart is shown by the
fact that he made will and named her as
one of the beneficiaries. The estate left by
the young general manager of the Virginia
Coal ana Iron Company Is estimated to be
worth 500 0Oo.
Wen.z met Miss Brookmyre at Bar Har-
bor, or Biddeford. Me The will has not Yet
been admitted 10 probate, and Joshua +.
Bullitt the attorney for the family here,
will not verify its reported contents He
said he did not care to discuss the subject
and would neither deny nor affirm the re-
port that the will was discovered a short
time after WentZ disappeared last October
Miss BIookmyre is a st. Louis girl. She
once visited in Philadelphia, at the home of
Mrs. j. s. Wentz. She wore black while
staying here. and is described as about
twenty years old, brunette, small stature
and of quiet deineanor. She is an accom-
plished musician.
The coroner's jury that rendered a YER
dict of accidental shooting In the Wentz
case received reply from DR.. ]. s. Wentz
regarding his alleged denunciation of the
finding of the jury. DIR. Wentz makes due

AN APOLOGY.

IN this mornings issue the Burton
machine organ, otherwise known as the
Topeka Daily Capital, printed the sign
ed statement of Nemaha county citizens
correcting their false and malicious story
about Governor Bailey and the Nemaha
county Republican central committee.
The State Journal is glad to notice even
this slight symptom of fairness to the
governor on the part of the Burton or
gan, for it altogether unusual and en-
tirely unexpected.
The hostility and unfair attitude Of
the Capital recently lost Topeka. the
state convention and has injured the
city in other ways and it may be that
the publication of this statement is
really an indication of a change Of
heart. If that is true, Governor Bailey
and his friends should be appraised OF
the fact for it will do much to alleviate
the feeling of bitterness and resent
ment which the administration Repub-
lican leaders have felt against Topeka
on account of the unjust and unreason-
able assaults of the Capital. This is a
good time for the morning paper to be-
gin to work for the good of the city
for greater Topeka.
The State Journal accordingly offers
it's congratulations as we'll as its apollo
gies to the morning paper.

NO JURISDICTION.
Federal Court Will Not Inter-
fere In COIOradO's Troubles.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 20-Judge Hal
lett in the U. S. district court today,
after consideration of the Sherman
Parker habeas corpus suit against the
military authorities of Colorado, an
nounced that his court is without juris-
diction in the matter. Parker is a
union miner of Cripple Creek, who is
held in the military bull pen without
a warrant
In his opinion Judge Hallet said:
I'm times of turbulence, and when
there is a probability of violence, dis
elimination may be exercised on the
part of the authorities in holding pris-
oners without bail and to hold them
in custody until reasonable investiga-
ton has been made.
The governor as executive of the state
Is required to enforce the law and if in
doing so he finds, it necessary to call out
the militia and to use the power of the
state, he should do So The matter of
how the state should enforce the law is
not for the federal government to state.
The supreme court of the United States
has decided that when the authorities of
the state are engaged in the execution of
the laws of the state the courts of the
United States have no authority to set
them aside"
Judge Hallett cited a number of cases
in which he said this rule was set forth
In concluding his opinion Judge Hallett
says;
THE people of the state are to be con-
graduated in having a governor who will
terfere with him in the execution of his
duties -

LIVELY IN THE THIRD.
An Interesting Contest Over Places
on Central Committee.

A strenuous political contest is on in
the Third ward and is being waged by
the prohibition element of the Repub-
lican party to send solid dry dele
cation to the county central committee.
The dry forces brought out candidates
in each precinct for the committeeships
and have classed all but their candi-
dates among the ''wets" and are making
a strenuous campaign to get their men
on the committee.
The prohibitionists brought out H. G.
Larimer and C. V. Wolf in the first pre-
cinct of the Third ward to run against
J. w. Hopkins, W. H. Rossington and
D. 0. Kneisler.
ward the prohibitionists brought out

OAKLAND SUIT FILED.
Supreme Court Is Asked to
Take a Hand.

AT the request of E. A. Austin, attor-
ney for the residents of Oakland who
object to that suburb becoming a city
of the third class, Attorney General
Coleman this morning filed quo war
ranto proceedings in the supreme court
calling for the officers named by the
county commissioners to act at the
first election to be held in Oakland
February 2, to appear before the SUI
preme court and show by what right
Oakland expects to become a city of
the third class.
An appeal has already been taken
from the decision of the board of county
commissioners, granting the petition for
the Incorporation of Oakland, to the
district court, but there is some Ques-
ton of the district court and the action
in the supreme court will probably
hasten the settlement of the contro-
versy
The same points are made in the quo
warranto proceedings as were raised
before the county commissioners in OBJ
jecting to the granting of the petition
for the incorporation of Oakland and
the same as the points raised by the
objectionists in the appeal to the dis
trict court, as follows: That the only
notices of the petition filed with the
board of commissioners and of the hear
ing before that board were typewriter
and not printed as required by law;
and that some of the notices were post
ed inside of buildings and none in pub
lie and conspicuous places as required
by law; and that the signatures to the
petition were not made a part of the
notices that were posted, as is required
by law.
The case in the supreme court nor the
appeal to the district court will prevent
the holding of the election for municipal
officers on February 2, the date set by
the county commissioners, but it is sup
posed that the election will be postponed
until the litigation is settled,

MAC ARTauR AND GFRMANs.

The executive council of the Ma
tional German-American Alliance is
after General Macarthur with
sharp stick on account of his recent
utterances at Honolulu. In an open
letter to the general signed by the pres
ident and secretary of the alliance the
following appears:
The utterances recently published in
the newspapers rejecting upon Ger
man-Americans which you admittedly,
although as you now aver, privately,
made at Honolulu, demand an answer
on the part of self respecting German
Americans, comprising, as they do,
one-tenth of the population of the
United States.
We hold that an officer of the United
States army or navy should be held
strictly responsible for all he does or
says, as long as he is in active ser
vice, and we most emphatically declare
that in future any recurrence of similar
offences will be promptly brought to
the notice of the proper authorities,
with a request for the dismissal of the
offender.
The remarks that a war between the
United States and Germany is inevita-
Bile is so absurd to anyone who is ac-
quainted with the huge commercial re-
lations of the two countries and has
been so often previously used by per
sons who wanted to see their names in
the newspapers, lildl we DIS wen as
other sane people no longer pay any
attention to it.
But the declaration that the Pan
German doctrine is spreading among
the German-American population, is a
serious one, and an insult to a class OF
citizens whose past history has shown
them to be among the most Datrlotlc,
and who have proved themselves alb
solutely reliable in every national crisis.
We beg leave to inform you that what
is spreading among the German
/ American population is a spirit of CO.
! operation The National German
American Alliance is a thoroughly pa
/ triotic American organization, whose
members will fight for the stars and
stripes against any nation, but who
want the services of their forefathers
! acknowledged in our histories. and are
not to be wantonly insulted by noto-
riety seekers of any kind.
/ To say of the German-American pop
ulation that their lack of patriotism
4 had been evidenced to such extent, that
during the late Spanish-American war
the presence of a characterization as
| a soldier. had been a matter CT com
ment in the regiments, is a malignant
misstatament of facts.
A protest against this insult has al
ready been sent to President Roosevelt
| by the German-American Alliance OF
/ Minnesota. and a number of other
/ branches of the National German
American Alliance have urged the ma
| tiona1 executive council to petition the
/ president of the United States to ask
for your resignation. Believing that
your remarks were caused by ignor-
ance, not malice, we refrain from doing
