JOINTS ARE CLOSED.
Fear of Frank StahI Appears to Be
the Cause.

The question, What is there in a
name" might be answered by point
ing to the result of Stahls appoint
ment as chief of police Last night
there was not a drug store in town
where patrons were allowed to go be-
hind the prescription case. Many of
these patrons, who had been in the
habit of drinking in the background,
were offended, and wanted to know
why the sudden drouth had fallen on
the city The usual answer was, I'VE
have decided to run close to the wall
for a little while, and see what is
doing"
Mike ThompsOn's auxiliary joint,
the Opera house drug store, is closed
up tight-front and rear. They are
afraid to sell liquor in that establish
ment' and the drug trade the. place
commands does not warrant the re-
tention of one cheap clerk. And this
state of affairs in this town, which
had been VIGOROUSLY wide open for six
months, is due to Frank Stahl, coupled
with a fear of the county attorney.
All the principal joints in town are
closed. The Copeland bar has been
closed for several days. The Royal
I is strictly out of business, owing to the
activity of County Attorney Hungate.
Today a drink of red liquor is almost
an impossibility, unless the purchaser
cares to take a bottle and sign a state
ment that he has cramps or La
Grippe. Every one who knows Frank
! jointist has plenty of confidence that
there will be no protection" chances
A man who makes a business of sign
! ing bonds for police court victims
said today: 'If they want Stahl to
give a bond, tell him I'll sign it for
/ him." The man who made this state
ment has been accused of being
friendly to the criminal element, be-
cause he would give bond for any OF
them. It is certain that he does not
! agree with StahI or the liquor ques-
ton, but he is perfectly willing to dc
what he can toward showing his APP
probation of an honest man.
A bond is the least of Mr.. Stahl's
troubles 1t does not matter in the
remotest way whether the council re-
peals the anti-bond ordinance or not

business. The Topeka mans story
about how Ludolph stole the cistern
cleaner is that one day about a month
ago Ludolph was canvassing Topeka,
cleaning cisterns, and stopped at the
home of the complainant. When he
asked the woman of the house if he
could clean their cistern, she said she
did not think he could, as her hus-
band had just bought a cistern clean
ing apparatus.
''Ludolph saw the owner of the ap-
paratus and told him he would like to
buy the machine. The owner was
willing to sell. Ludolph said he had a
couple of cisterns to clean and would
like to try the machine. He got per-
mission to take the machine on trial
and did not return it He told the
owner his name was Herbert Miller.
1.-The police happen to know a little
about the Topeka cistern cleaner, be-
just after it was brought here from
Topeka. Ludolph got into trouble
after returning to Emporia, and put
UP the cistern cleaner as bond for
appearance. The police then had no
idea the machine was a stolen one.
When the police took charge of it, it
was at the depot with thirty cents
baggage charges on it. 1t was re-
turned to Ludolph when he paid his
fine.
when the Topeka man was here
Saturday he saw Ludolph and said
he was the fellow who carried off the
cleaner. The Topeka man went to
Ludolph and spoke to him. Ludolph
professed ignorance as to who he was
The man said, Don't you know me

DRIVES WITH QUEEN.
President Ioubet Attends Review of
10000 Italian Troops.

Rome, April 26.-President Loubet
today drove to the Piazza D'Armi with
Queen Helena and reviewed 10000
troops. M. Loubet and the queen were
accompanied byKingvictor Emmanuel
and the royal princes and followed by
several hundred staff officers and the
foreign military attaches. The Pincio
heights, the Janiculum and Monte
Mario, surrounding the Piazza D Arni,
were occupied by several hundred
thousand people, cheering and shout
ing, while military bands played the
"Marseillaise."
The president expressed to King
Victor Emmanuel the highest salts
faction with the efficiency and mar
tiaI bearing of the troops, especially
admiring the Bersaglieri, who with
their quick step and waving cocks
feathers in their hats marched past
in their most characteristic manner.
Returning to the Quirina1 through
the city the president and the royal
party passed through the Piazza Di
Spagna, where the historic steps of
the Church of the Trinita de Monti
were entirely covered with flowers,
producing a gorgeous effect

VANDERBILT SELLS AUTOS.
Millionaire Disposes of Machines With
Which He Broke Records.

New York, April 26.-William K
Vanderbilt, jr., has disposed of $40
900 worth of automobiles since his re-
turn from Florida, where he broke
the worlds record for a mile few
months ago. He no longer owns the
wonderful 90 horsepower Mercedes,
with which he accomplished his feat.
nor does he own the so horsepower
Mors, with which he startled Europe
two years ago.
Besides these Mr.. Vanderbilt has
disposed of another MOrs and a Re
nault machine, and he has not a sin
gle high-geared machine at the pres
ent time. The only two machines
that he owns today are an Is horse
power Mercedes and a 20 horsepower
Renault, and these can be bought for
what they cost the owner.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has never been
without a high-geared automobile in
his eSta blishment, and his present
action in disposing of all his flyers y
due to the urgent solicitation of his
friends that he abandon automobile
racing entirely. They have told him
that the strain is telling on his health
and that he will break down if he
does not give it up. According to
those who are in the young million
aires confidence a note of warning

WHY BAILEY LEFT.
Some of the Reasons Assigned for His
Visit.


There has been a great deal of
speculation among the Burton politi-
clans concerning Governor Bailey's
trip east, which also includes a visit
to Washington. Governor and Mrs
Bailey reached Washington last night
and will spend a short time there be-
fore going to Vermont for a visit.
Up to date the reasons assigned for
Governor Bailey's visit to Washington
are as follows:
1. To order the United States SEN
ate to expel Senator Burton in order
to let Bailey appoint a senator.
2. To confer with Senator Long
concerning Buttons successor.
8. To invoke Longs aid in electing
members of the legislature from the
Seventh district who shall be favorabI
to the machine meaning thereby
the old machine.
A. To make arrangements for ap-
pointing ]. L. Bristow United States
5. To secure an appointment for
himself as a member of the cabinet,
or something equally as good.
6. To talk politics with President
Roosevelt and find out who the presi-
dent wants for Buttons place.
There will doubtless be other rea-
sons assigned later on as they occur
to the opponents of the governor.
Secretary of State Burrow left Sat
urday for the east, New York and
other points, and while it is stated
that he went ION business it is also
stated that he will visit Washington
before returning home. Following
| Governor Bailey's visit some of the
politicians are now guessing that Bur
row has gone to see what Bailey real
| ley went for.
1t is not known whether Mr. Bur-
rows trip had any connection with
the bouquets which he threw at Bank
Commissioner Albaugh in today's pa
pers or not He left the state last Sat
urday, but his Albaugh remarks did
not appear until this morning
Gov(nor and Mrs. Bailey will be in
the east for ten days or more, visiting

Mr.. Squier's Missing Cistern Cleaner
Found at Emporia-

Sheriff Lucas went to Emporfa
Monday afternoon to bring Al Ludolph
to Topeka to answer to the charge of
stealing a patent cistern cleaner from
r. V. Squier.
Squier, LudoIph. the cistern and the
officers of the law in Topeka and En-
pOria have been agitated over the
missing cistern cleaner for several
months. In fact Topeka and Emporia
seem to be running a mutual Scotland
Yard, for men wanted in Topeka are
being found in Emporia and Emporfa
men in Topeka. The Emporia Gazette
gives the following chapter of the
cistern cleaner episode

Mormon Endowment House Ceremony
Remains a Secret.

Washington, April 26.-The Smoot
investigation before the senate com
mittee on privileges and elections was
opened today by Attorney Tayler for
the prosecution calling upon Moses
Thatcher to resume the stand. This
was for the Identification of a pamph-
let issued by Calvin Reasoner, purport-
ing to be an accurate account of the
Thatcher episode. The document was
put in the record and the witness was
turned over to the defense for cross
examination. Mr.. VancOtt interrogat-
ed Mr.. Thatcher in regard to his views
on church Interference in politics. The
witness said he had no fault to find
with the political rule, but in answer
to a question of Senator Dubois, as
to the result of a Mormon official run
ming for a political office in oppOsi-
ton to the wishes of the church au-
thorities, he said:
1T might result as in my case, but

I believe every man who loves his
country would resign such office I'M

Mr.. Thatcher defended the church
and the political rule. He admitted,
however, that his views had been mod
flied in regard to the church interfer-
ence but insisted that he knew of no

didate for political office
Mr.. Thatcher stated that at the time
he was removed from the apostolate

from the rolls in April, 1896, and form
al action was taken by his quorum in
November, 1896. Continuing he said

but duplicates of the Vanderbilt racer
seen at Ormond.

terrible pains at the time of menstrua-

was until the doctor pronounced it in

proposed an operation.
g felt so weak and sick that I felt
sure that could not survive the ordeal,
and so told him that would not un-
