1T RUNS A SALOON.
Another Discovery Made in Connec-
ticn With the Equitable.

New York, Sept. 25.-Chairman
Morton of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society, who quietly has been in
vestigating all the different phases of
noyed when he reached the Cafe
Savarin in the course of his inquiry.
He discovered that. without his know
ing it. the Equitable has been run
ming the saloon.
There was a time when such news
would have shocked the temperance
members of the society because when
it was started by the late Henry B.
from the Rev. Mr.. Alexander, who
was Presbyterian minister. For
many years the Equitable would not
insure the life of a person known to
be "a drinking man."
But today under the wing of a
holding company" composed of
Equitable men, the society actually is
running a saloon.
Mr. Morton recently dismissed
Thomas d. Jordan, comptroller of the
Equitable, "for INSTRUMENTATION" be-
cause he would not tell him for what
purpose the mysterious loan of $685.
600 was used. Today the chairman.
who thought he had eliminated Jor-
with the Equitable, found that he still
was president of the Cafe Savarin
company, and as such was RESPONSE
BILE for all the profits of that concern.

with the Savarin. the Equitable gets
all the profits as rent for the spacious
ground floor on the south side of its
big home building at 100 Broadway.
Mr.. Morton was asked today:
what were the profits of the Equit-
able's saloon for the year ending June
1, 1862"
II know what you are driving at"
said the Equitable's new head, "but
I'm not going to make any statement
about the Cafe Savarin until I ascer-
tain all the facts. I am hard at work
now. l don't understand it all myself
yet"
Besides the ex-comptroiler, other
directors of the Cafe Savarin are
James F. Wilson, George V. Turner
secretary to General Fitzgerald whose
name was used in the 100000 loan
through the Mercantile Trust COM
pany, and Louis M. Bailey, all con-
ne..ted with the Enuitahle.

Sharp, Williams, Hill, Glenn Haughey,
r. Munford and White. This includes
all of the line men and White from the

MACHINE FOR THE EMPRESS.
President RooseyeIt's Gift to Wife of
the Mikado.


Washington, Sept. 25.-President Roose-
welt will present the Empress of Japan
with sewing machine in recognition of
the courtesies extended Miss Alice Roose-
welt during her recent visit to Japan.
The selection of a sewing machine as a
gift came about from a cOnversati ton Miss
Roosevelt had with the empress. The lat
ter expressed a desire to have an American
sewing machine and Miss Roosevelt COM
nunicated the wish to her father, who i'm
mediately gave the order
The machine probably is the most costly
that has ever been turned out of any fac
tory. Every part of it where there is no
friction is gold plated On one end of the
machine, attached to the gold plated iron
work is the American and Japanese coat
of arms. Underneath the coat of arms of
the two countries in Japanese characters
is the date and then follows the reason
for the presentation.
From the time that the machine was
started until it reached its final test in
the operating room the utmost care and
secrecy was maintained. and none but the
most trusted employees were allowed to
do any part of the work upon, it. The ma
chine will be placed in a mahogany cabf-
net inlaid with silk and plush in japanese
eoiors. It is said that it will be sent to
Japan by special messenger.

RUN DOWN BY A CAR.
Mrs D. CapIand Is Seriously Hurt and
Horse Was Killed.

D. Capland and his wife were struck
by street car at II o'clock SaruT day
night while driving in their buggy, and
Mrs Ca3land was seriously injured.
The accident occurred at tn corner
OF Second and Kansas avenue. CapIanG
and his wife had Just left their pawn
shop at 324 Kansas avenue, and had
driven down to the street fouis-a ain 1
Second street to water their horse. They,
drove down on the east side of the
street and turned across the car track
just as northbound North Topeka car
No SO, with Motorneer A w Freeman,
came down the hill.
The motorman was unable to stop
the car until after it had struck, totally
demolished the buggy, throwing Cap
land and his wife to the pavement Jhe
horse was Knocked down and one leg
was broken so that Do,iceniea had to
knock it on the head with an axe and
relieve its suffering.
Mrs. CaDland's injury seemed to be
in her right side, and she was delirious
before medical aid could be secured.
Owing to the murder in North Topeka,
which occurred about the same time,
it was hard to secure an ambulance.
Several irresponsible parties had called
ambulances to North Topeka TO get
Chris Getty, who was dying and could
not be moved, and Cor that reason no
ambulance could be found when the &C
cident on lower Kansas avenue occur
red. It was As minutes after the acct
dent when an ambulance drew up at
the curb to get Mrs. Capland.
The police patrol and Chief Goodwin
on his automobile were returning from
North Topeka with Henry MusfCk, the
slayer of Chris Getty. and stopped at
the scene of the accident to inv asrigatc.
Capland was slightly injured but was
able to be at his pawn shop today,
where Superintendent Patton Of The
Street Railway company and Assistant
Superintendent Hixon interviewed him
concerning the affair. Capland claims
that the motorneer did not ring his gong
and that he has several witnesses to
prove it. Others who were near the
place when the acciednt occurred claim
that the motorneer rang his gong and
reversed the car in an attempt to avoid
a collision.
A w. Freeman. the notcrncer who
was on the car. has been ir the employ
of the Street Railway company All u1
two years, and is said to be reliable

POWER FOR COLORADO.
Second Largest Electrical Plant in the
Country Going Up.

Durango, Colo, Sept. 25.-By far
the largest electrical power plant in
Colorado and probably the second
largest in the country is now being
erected near this city. 1t will be ca
pable of producing $4,000 horse power
when running at capacity and will
also have the distinction of producing
power more cheaply than any other
similar plant in the world, with the
single exception of that at Niagara
Falls. Like the immense Niagara
plant, water under heavy pressure
will be utilized, large part of the
Animas river and Cascade creek being
diverted for miles through iron pipes
until the proper fall is obtained.
Thus far 1850 feet of pipe line has
been built, extending from a reservoir
in Cascade creek to the power plant,
with a water pressure at the latter
point of 435 pounds to the square inch
and a fall of 1000 feet. This pipe is
4 4 inches in diameter at the head gate
and "a inches at the plant, and has
been tested to $50 pounds to the
square inch. The entire pipe line
the individual sections as much as
1900 each.
The water for the main reservoir
will for the present be entirely taken
from Cascade creek, twelve miles
from the power plant. From this
point the creek is diverted through
a box f1ume 6x6 feet in size three
and a half miles to the main storage
reservoir. which will have a capac-
ity, when completed, of 1851, 900, 900
cubic feet of water. The lake will
cover 200 acres and will be 400 feet
deep.
1t is the company's intention to also
tap the Animas river and run a tun-
mel eight by ten feet in size five miles
through the mountains, thereby largely
increasing the water supply whenever
made necessary by the demand for
power.
The great plant each of whose
dynamos are capable of developing
400 horse power. will require three
years for its completion, though a GER
tain amount of power will be available
within a few months for the use of the
mines and mills in this vicinity.
1t is estimated that the enterprise
will be able to furnish power for every
| industry within a hundred and fifty
miles of Durango at a price consider
ably below that of any method now in
use. It's completion will be hailed with
delight by the entire district.

IMPORTATION OF LABOR.
1t Is Charged Against Heads of Manu-
! featuring Concerns.

New York. Sept 25.AAfter eight
months of careful preparation, the Unit
ed States district attorney of this dis
trict will, according to reliable authori-
ty, cause the arrest of eleven heads of
the manufacturing and contracting
concerns of this city on warrants eharg-
ing them. with having conspired,
through the medium of an employers
association, to violate the contract labor
law by the Importation of foreign work.
men. The penalty of conviction is a fine
of not less than $1,000 nor more than
$4,000. or imprisonment for NOT more
than two years.
1t is understood that the department
of commerce and labor is directing the
prosecution and has. through its own
agents, prepared the case against the
accused This has involved many
months of investigation and also the
keeping since January last of four men,,
English tile settlers, at Ellis island 1t
is upon the evidence of these four men,
backed by an array of corroborative
dispositions, that the government chief
ly relies.
The evidence in the case goes back to
the lockout by the Tile, Crate and Man
tel association, an employers organiza-
ton, of the members of the Mosaic and
Encaustic Tile Layers and Helpers of
New York and vicinity, on August 6, of
last year. To make the lockout sue
cess, it, is charged. the employers as
socia ton sent one OF its number to
England and caused advertiser ents to
appear in papers in England and Ger
many offering the masons SIS per day for
eight hours labor in the United States.
Fifty workmen. it is alleged. were
imported to the United States at the
instance of the eleven accused men,
and were instructed to swear falsely
when questioned at Ellis island By, the
Immigration officials as to their reasons
for coming to America, and especially
to swear that they had as vet no en-
ployment in this country. 1t is also said
that the men were furnished with the
address of one of the accused and or
dered to report to him.
Two weeks after the men were i'm
ported, the lockout being a success, it
is alleged that the accused caused th<
English workmen to! be discharged, on
the ground that they were not familiar
with American tools or the method OF
working in this county, and were, there
fore useless. Some of these men got
home as best they could. but four of
them carried their grievances to agents
of the department of commerce and
labor and rendered information. on
which an Investigation was based Since
then they have been under detention at
the Immigrant station at Ellis island.

PLACE FOR NicKIRAHAN.
May Be State Agent to Find Homes
for Homeless.

NJ. F. McKrahan, of Topeka, will in
all probability get the appointment of
state agent to find homes and provide
for the welfare of boys and girls on
their release from the state reform
schools, and for the orphans when dis
missed from the Soldiers Orphans home
at Atchison.
Mr.. McKirahan is at present acting as
agent for the Soldiers Orphans home,
but the plan under consideration by the
state board of control is to consolidate
the $500 allowed to the Orphans home
and the $500 allowed -to@the Boys Re-
form school, and use the entire $500 for
the employment of one agent to repre-
sent all three schools.
The last legislature made no appropri-
alton to care for the girls who are re-
leased from the BeIoit reformatory, and
many of these unfortunate girls are
turned adrift with no means of prOtec-
ton, and soon return to evil ways. 1t
viii be easy, however, for the agent
representing one institution to also rep
resent the others, for he can fill more
places on each trip with no more diff
Guilty than at present, and without in
creased expense.
The laws relating to the care of boys
and girls released from the industrial
schools has been frequently changed. AT
one time the legislature appropriated
81, 600 to the Kansas Children'S Home
society for the purpose of paying the
expense of looking after the children as
they come out of the institutions. but
this appropriation has been overlooked
for several years.
There was also a law providing that
the county superintendents of the vari-
Gus counties should be in charge of dis
charged inmates of state institutions
but this law has been repealed.
In many of the western states. al
agent is employed whose business it is
to look after the children who come out
of the institutions, and the object of the
Kansas board of control is to create g
similar sob
