seeker in Mr.. Bonaparte. He pays
strict attention to his law business
daily from a. m. to p. m, after
which he goes, in winter, to an old
fashioned residence in the swell sec
ton, or in summer to a large estate
in Baltimore county. He is not ath-
letic, loves the simple life and finds
keen pleasure in reading and walking.
Is a total abstainer and never uses
tobacco. Does not like to travel, and,
strange to say has never taken a
long sea trip in his life. His friends
are wondering how he will accept his
first aquatic trip. They all expect
him to have NAL de mer. He doe,
himself. He admitted it to your cor
respondent.
His clientele is very profitable and
he is worth about million, though
to see him one would never believe
it. His wife dislikeS society and
rarely is seen in any save the circle
of a few intimate friends; the house
holds of her husband 8 friends. Near
ly every day there are few guests
to dinner, but, barring that, the
Bonaparte entertainments are far
from frequent. His wife was a Miss
Ellen Claiming Day of Hartford,
Conn, and there are no children.
Harvard is Mr.. Bonaparte's alma
mater, and for II years he was one
of the governors of that institution.
To show his thoroughness and pune
tuality it is recorded that he is one
of the very few governors who at
tended every meeting of the board,
despite that he had to come a far
Their distance than any of the others.
He is careful and painstaking to
fault. and those who know him fear
that he may oyerstrain himself in
his effort to look after the detail of
the portfolio which he has accepted.
Mr.. Bonaparte's thoroughness in
the preparation of a law case is well
known. But he will not take a case
unless he considers his client is legal
ly and honorably entitled to a verdict.
For that reason he aided an unfortu-
nate Polish Jewess to have her moth
er pardoned when he believed the
mother had been duped by police
official and a shyster lawyer. Again,
very recently he took up the case of
colored girl charged with assaulting
a white woman by sitting on her lap,
For this he received, it is understood,
not a penny, taking the case because
he believed the girl was innocent.
During the campaign in 1895
against German and Rasin, the DEM
ocratic leaders in Maryland, Bona
parte with other reformers acquired
certain titles, one of which has stuck
to him to this day: Soup House

Explaining this appellation, Mr..
Bonaparte laughingly declared that
he could not understand why it was
ever given him.

tomary drawl, Il never owned a soup

BALTIMORE, Md, June S.-What
sort of a man is Charles J. Bona
parte?
Hundreds, thousands, of Americans
are asking that question since Roose-
welt named the we'll known Balti-
more reformer and civil service law
yer to succeed Paul Morton as Sec
rotary of the navy.
There is nothing of the politician
in Mr.. Bonaparte. He looks like a
whimsical lackadaisical sort of gem
tleman with lots of time, money and
eccentricities.
That's just what he is. Yet with
ii he is one of the hardest working
lawyers of means in practice, and
is thoroughly alive not only to po-
1itical but reform movements, and is
noted as an authority on historical
as well as artistic subjects.
He is about 81, stoop shouldered,
with very large head. A very small
hat emphasizes this exceedingly. His
head is almost bare save for streaks
of black hair we'll tufted at the sides
and back.
He has very high forehead and
very large cheekbones, a full face,
which, added to his somewhat small
hazel-colored eyes, gives him rather
an odd appearance. His arms are

JAPAN 6|v[5
Bio CONTRACT

NEW YORK, June s.-That the
japanese intend to carry on military
operations in Manchuria on an ex-
tensive scale is illustrated by their
placing large contracts for various
railroad equipment in this market
Hundreds of cars, locomotives, etc,
are to be rushed to the far east with
all possible dispatch. All the ship
ments will go overland to the Pacific
coast. Forty thousand tons of freight
have already been booked with the
transcontinental roads, which will
mean an expenditure of upward of
100000 for this item alone.
An eastern car company has Just
obtained contract from the Japan
csc government for 1900 steel cars,
varying in capacity from seven to 20
tons. Another contract, which was
placed last week, calls for 1000 gon-
dola type, steel underframe cars A
further contract has also been award
ed by the Japanese government to
the Baldwin Locomotive works,
which concern recently was allotted
one for 1870 locomotive through the
same sources. One hundred aldi-
tional locomotives have just been or
dered
1t is estimated that within the last
few months the contracts placed in
this country on Japanese account for
structural material, { rtrical equip
ment and machinery for arsenals and
shipyards and for railroad material
for Japanese, Korean and Manchurian
railroads exceed $15,000,000.

contest some time ago, and although
Lewis fairly won the decision, Erne

with the result. The present match
at 10 rounds resulted from this dis
satisfaction. Whether their ring

KANSAS JAIL SERVES
AS OCTOPUS LAIR
TRUST MAGNATE IN PRISON RETAINS CHARGE OF
BUSINESS-HE ALSO HAS LARGE LIBERTIES
GRANTED BY THE GENTLEMANLY SHERIFF

Special Correspondence to The Press.
LA CROSSE, Kan, June S.-Kansas
is probably the only state in the
Union that actually has trust mag
nate in Jail for violating an anti
trust law. Again it is the only state
where trust has its Headquarters in
Jail. This is the anomalous condi-
ton which exists here. The trust
operating from behind the bars is a
grain dealers association and the
maenate carrying on it's business
while being fed and sheltered against
his will by the state is E. j. Smiley,
secretary of the association.
Smiley is serving a 90-jay sentence
and will remain a prisoner that long
and until a fine of $500 and the costs
of expensive litigation are paid. No
habeas corpus can get him out for the
sumpreme court of the United States
has affirmed his sentence. Smiley vio-
lated the Farrelly antitrust law,
which does not differ much from anti
trust laws of other states excepting
the important particular of having
been upheld by the highest judicial
body In the land.
"A Miniature Rockefeller"
Smiley, after conviction, tried to
get pardon from the governor, but
| this official, in denying it, was quoted
as saying that Smiley is a miniature
! Rockefeller and the people of Kansas
are after the Rockefeller class" A
unique reason urged in Smileys petit
ton for clemency was that he had
done the state a service by getting
It's antitrust law affirmed by the fed
eral supreme court. SO Smiley came
out from Topeka, May 8, to serve
his time. He registered at a hotel
here and notified John Purcell. the

because the commitment papers had
not arrived.
"Look'y here, john" said the
would-be prisoner, Il want to get

anyhow. Those papers will come all
right"
| Well credit your starting time
ali right" said the sheriff. and this

Home Comforts in Jail.
Criminals are few and far between
| in Rush county, which is one of the
| best sections in the great Kansas
wheat belt, and Smiley had his pick
| of the cells, because there were and
are no other prisoners. The county
jail is light and roomy, surrounded
by trees and a right pleasant place
for Jail. The prisoner had his own
bed put in, also chairs. tables and a
typewriter. It's been pretty cool out
here lately so the county keeps a fire
going for its lone guest who has
touch of the grip. The prisoner takes
his meals at the sheriff's residence,
walking down there three times a
day, and goes after his mail. Twice
week he visits the town barber
shop.
One day he was passing from this
place when a man who stands high
as a populiSt started to TRADE against
the sheriff for treating the trust mag
nate differently than he would any
other criminal. Smiley did not stop
to argue, but FASTENED to his friend,
Sheriff Purcell, and told him the in
cident, saying he did not wish to

SELLING DIRECT
TO RETAILERS

NE WYORK, June S.-The National

subject of selling direct to retailers
on the part of commission merchants
and manufacturers was the principal
matter discussed.

abuse the privileges and get the sher-
if into trouble. Purcell's eyes flashed
as he exclaimed:
AS long as I'm sheriff I guess l
can run things my own way. If any
of these fellows don't like the way
l do things let them come and tell
me- That ended the incident and
Smiley still goes after his shaves.
Smiley is a medium sized man of
pleasant appearance, and good CONVEX
sational powers.
Running Trust From a Cell.
The grain dealers association, of
which Smiley is president, may be a
trust-for the United States supreme
court has said so inferentially--but
the Imprisonment of it's executive of
fetal has not busted" 1t by a long
shot. The principal change the as
ISOLATION members notice is that their
letters are dated Lacrosse now, in
stead of Topeka. Smiley gets an aver
age of about 80 letters a day, and is
kept pretty busy answering them. If
he were not in Jail, he would make
many trips in behalf of the associa-
ton, but, as ii is, he sends out agents
who report to him by mail or come
in person to see him in the Jail.
Smiley receives many remembrances
from his friends and is fairly over
loaded with cigars. The trust" may
be smashed and Kansas may be pleas
ed, but if Kansas will take a good
hard look she will see the trust"
calmly making it's headquarters in
one of her jails.
Here is Smileys authorized state
ment: The sheriff of this county is
perfect gentleman and treats me
as such. / have been in business in
Kansas since 1883, and I want to say
it is an utter impossibilty to conduct
any legitimate business without VIC
lating in some way the spirit of our
Farrelly antitrust law. Furthermore,
and I don't say it in revenge, I would
like to see this law enforced to the
limit for just six months-if it would
last that long
Farmers Save 100000.
Smiley's offense was in organizing
the grain buyers of Rush county into
a trust which made the prices daily.
1t was done in 1901. The farmer
would drive in with load of grain
and would take what the first dealer
offered him or haul his grain back to
the farm, for the understanding as
to prices was complete among all
grain buyers in the county. Usually
from Is to 20 cents less than Kansas
City prices were offered. Now indie
pendents are buying and the farmers
get about 2 cents less and the freight
deducted. County Attorney McCor-
mick, who prosecuted the case, esti-
mates that the farmers have saved
100000.
Smiley offered no evidence in de-
Tense, but attacked the constitutions
ality of the law. The case went
through the Kansas supreme court
and the federal supreme court in
about four years.
Smiley says the story about the
farmers saving 100000 as the result
of the suit is all bosh and that grain
prices are about the same now as
they were then. He also says the
governor did not refer to him as a
miniature Rockefeller and that his
application for pardon is still under
consideration.
