Blackman had sustained severe fnan-
cial losses, among which was a loss of
about 81, 600 on his contract for the con-
struction of the Topeka Auditorium.
at was a matter of much pride upon
the part of Mr.. Blackman to get the
contract for the auditorium, and in his
zeal to land the contract, he made q
bid, which it later developed was so
low that it entailed a large loss. To
his credit he said nothing of it, but
took his loss and kept quiet
Mr. BIackman, while he was a. part
ner in the brick plant west of the city,
was exposed to all kinds of weather in
attending to the details OF the manage

is said he contracted a severe case Of
rheumatism, which later was compli-
Gated by q partial stroke of paralysis
which he suffered while in Old Mexi-
co. He has returned to Topeka and is
at present at his home where it is
stated he is practically unable to move
about.
It is not indicated that Mr.. Blachman
has engaged in any business and in
that maner retrieved his lost fortune
SO that he will be able to make good
to his creditors, and no doubt the bank
ruptcy proceedings which are now
pending viii be settled by giving him
a discharge in bankruptcy.

this and if you don't I'll fix you"
When the threat was made Mrs. Gun
ningham began to cry

plead guilty to stealing the automobile
and now that his wife has plead
guilty of being an accessory, he can
do nothing else. When he is SEN

SHAKE DOWN CEILING.
Feared Heavy Strains of Pipe Organ
VIII Do This.

VIII the metal ceiling. Of the Auditorium
stand the heavy vibration of the strains
from the pipe organ? This IS the ques-
ton which is agitating the city engineer
As all know the vibration which is set up
from a pipe organ of ordinary size IS
something tremendous and how much
more the vibrations from an organ the
size Of the one being installed The eff
feet of the vibrations on the building has
been the food for speculative thought for
the past several days.
The metal ceiling to the Auditorium
looks very much like ordinary tin and is
but very little heavier It has been
nailed into place with nails about the size
and weight of the ordinary wire Single
nails. These nails may Withstand the vi
bration and may not; they are bound to
loosen in time, however, under the vibra-
ton strain A Single nail succumbs
more quickly to the action of rust than
other nails that are manufactured. The
action of the rust upon the nail and the
vibration will act upon the staying quail
ties Of the ceiling in no uncertain man
ner.
Assistant City Engineer King said yes
terday: 1T will necessitate frequent in
spection Of the metal ceiling to guard
against any possible accident of portions
Of the metal ceiling giving way to the
strain.

Mr.. Blackman went from Topeka to
Old Mexico, where it is supposed he
has been ever since his departure from
Topeka. It was generally supposed at
the time he left that he had disposed Of
his various interests in Topeka and
that he took with him a considerable
sum of money. This was denied today
by his attorney, W. r. Schoch. 1T is
my understanding said Mr.. Schoch,
THAT Mr.. Blackman had only few
hundred dollars when he left Topeka.

The labor movement from the Wall
street view point is discussed by Henry
Clews in a financial review of the year
1904 as follows- THE organization of
labor was the inevitable counterpart of
the organization of capital. Reckless
and radical leadership led labor into
much the same sort of errors that
brought some of our captains of indus
try to an early day of reckoning. La
Dor. too, sought monopoly; and this OBJ
ject was frequently obtained by force
for intimidation when other means
failed. General prosperity enabled
many employees to make concessions
which served to encourage rather than
satisfy the demands of unreasonable
leaders until the right OF freedom Of
contract between employer and en-
ploye was threatened with extinction.
Thus came the issue between the open
and closed shop, and time is likely to
prove that there Is but one end to a
monopoly whether of capital or labor
that is failure. For some months there
has been an abatement of labor trou-
bies, and their revival on a serious
scale cannot be reasonably expected
until the wave of depression sets in,
which it is to be hoped will be more
wisely accepted than the conditions Of
the last two years.

If charges are true. says the Cleve-
land Leader. what is known as the
meat trust has increased its profits and
mulcted the public in four ways: First
by buying livestock at less figures
than should be paid, being enabled to
do SO by the sitting of competition.
Secondly selling the prepared meat
product at higher rates than formerly
being enabled to do so by the sitting
of competition. Thirdly reducing the
wages Of employees, being enabled to
do so by the sitting of competition.
FOurth-By the obtaining of material
rebates from the railways, such re-
bates in their very operation being
made to insure the sitting of competi-
ton.
