HIS DAYS WORK.
Forger Clears Up $50 in Passing Three
Bogus Checks.

A smooth check artist was at work
in Topeka yesterday and according to
complaints, cleared up $36 in the days
work.
A man claiming the name of T. D.
Evans called at E. B. Walkers drug
store and bought a dollar bottle of
medicine, presenting a check for
$14 on B. F. McGiffin, the contractor.
In change he got $40 in cash and a
So due bill. When Walker tried to
cash the check he was told that it was
very bogus.
The Coughlin Hardware company
was finn -hammed by the same man
with the same kind of check. He pre-
sented a check on McGiffin for SIS,
and paid So on a gasoline stove which
he ordered delivered at the McGiff1n
residence, sos Jackson street, and then
walked up to the Singer sewing ma
chine company's Office, where he pur-
chased a machine and paid So on it
with a SIG check.
McGifin called on the Singer dealer
and the hardware house this morning
and asked them what they. meant by
sending him something he had not
ordered. The store had no suspicion
of the checks until this call.
Allen Murray, who was arrested on
a state warrant this morning was
booked at the police station for
forgery, through a mistake made by
the police. He was wanted by the
county authorities for beating his wife.
The check man has moved on.

THERE WAS NO FIGHT.
But Big Crowd at Santa Fe shops
Expected One.

The "big fight advertised as a fea-
ture of Santa F'e entertainment last
night, did not materialize. When the
shop whistle blew at 6 o'clock. the
workmen marched out OF the north gate
and either stopped to chat with friends
or went home.
Not hand or voice was lifted against
them. The word "scab'' was not heard,
and the city police climbed into Chief
Goodwin's auto and returned to the
station at $40.
A ChecksfieId, the grocer who was
assaulted by the Santa F'e detectives
Tuesday night, opened the gate into his
yard and requested the Is or 20 strikers
who were present to get inside. Don't
give them any excuse to fight he said.
You boys keep quiet and have the law
on your side.''
The few strikers present made no
demonstration, either toward the de-
side of the street near the big gate,
or the strike breakers, who seemed on
good terms with~fhe strikers. Several
of the workmen came across from the
gate and paused to chat with the strik-
ers, and no Ill feeling was visible.
Those detectives are. to blame for all
the trouble said one of the workmen,
who was standing near group OF
strikers and talking to reporter. Be
fore they came to this gate and began
beating up people, everything was quiet.
You see the result of their interference
They have abused several people, and
for that reason a crowd gathers here

A Number of Kelley's Checks Ex'
cIuded From the Evidence.

Jefferson City, Mo, Aug. 3.-Fermre
Lieutenant Governor John A. Lee re-
sumed his testimony today in the trial
of Senator f. H. Farris on the charge
of bribery. Lees denial at the former
trial of Farris that he Gee) wrote the
letter sending the $1,000 back to D. j.
Kelley of New York, representative of
the baking powder interests, was taken
up in a severe DISCRIMINATION by the
defense. Several checks from Kelley to
Lee were introduced and identified, but
were not admitted in evidence. This
precluded the introduction of number
of letters and checks which the defense
intended to offer as evidence.
When the cross examination was
completed, the state took the witness
on redirect examination. Lee testified
concerning the letter purporting to re-
turn $1,000 to Kelley, which at the for
mer trial he had denied writing, but
yesterday admitted that he had writ
ten, by saying that he had written the
letter because he feared that there
might be trouble at some time and the
letter was for the purpose of covering
up the transaction concerning the con-
veyance of the $1,000, but that he did
not return the $1,000 to Kelley.
Noon recess was then taken.

GAMBLERS
ARE CLASS APART

The Shinpo says: The better class of
japanese here do not take much inter-
est in the gambling, over which the
American press is naking\so much. The
fact is that with japanese gamblers are
a class apart. The more educated and
the respectable japanese do not gam
bic, not even as much, perhaps, as the
whites who indulge is so-called sociable
games in their homes, where money
is lost and won. Gambling is recogniz-
ed as sort of necessary, or at least
irrepressible. evil.
That che-fa is being played more or
less openly and on quite a large scale
in Honolulu is beyond any question.
but 1t is not matter over which Jana
nese are inclined to worry much In
spite of the frequences tc, the supposed
fact that Asiatics Including Jana
nese) cannot be stopped from gambling,
1t is not the truth that the Japanese
are addicted to such games There is
certain proportion of them who pIay.
Just as a certain proportion of other
races play, and they are not to be
stopped.
If there is police graft in connection
with the gambling, that is another
proposition. In Japan there are gam
blers, incurabIe gamblers. but their
games stop when the footsteps of a
police officer are heard. The people
who don't gamble do not worry much
about those who do, but if there was
a suspicion of police grating on the
gamblers, it would be different.
