Philip. president of the Union Refrig-
orator Transit company and by the
company as a corporation against the
Western News company the publish
ers of McClure's 81 Magazine and the
Milwaukee Free Press Papers are
now being prepared
The suits are based on an article
published in McCIure's for January,
written by Ray Stannard Baker, on
s'The Private Car and the Beef Trust"
In the article reference is made to the
refrigerator company and to Mr..
Philip as "a politician who got re-
bates" The news company is sued as
the distributing agent for Mcclure
and the Free Press for TeprinEng the
story. Other suits. it is intimated,
may follow against news dealers in
this state and throughout the country.
It is claimed that Baker got tangled
as being organized in the interests of
the Pabst brewery. while another re-
frigerator company. now under fire in
teh United States court, was the one
in which the Pabst Brothers were inter-
ested.
Mr. Philip said of the suits: THE I'm
ion Refrigerator company was not or
ganized when the rebates are alleged to
have been paid. Since it's incorporation
neither I or the company has received
one penny in rebates or commissions.

nor does the Pabst nor any other brew

STATEMENT OF WILSON
Jetrnore Attorney Attributes His
Troubles to a Relative.

Jetmore, Kan, Dec. 2S=Roscoe II.
Wilson. the law partner of Senator F.
Dumont Smith, who was indicted with
Senator Smith by the2 federal grand
jury at Topeka, makes the following
frank, personal statement in the last
issue of the Jetmore Republican of
which he is the editor:
As is doubtless known to everyone
of our readers, the editor OF this pa
per together with Senator f. Dumont
Smith, has been indicted by the feder-
al grand jury at Topeka, charged with
conspiracy to prevent the prosecution
of certain individuals charged with the
making Of fraudulent proofs in this
county and with having paid money to
T. F. Ryan, special Inspector. to pre-
vent these prosecutions We do not,
at the present tiIne, propose to enter
into any lengthy discussion of the mat
ter. but simply desire to make the
statement that we are not gully of the
offense charged and to- assure our
friends that we have sufficient evi-
dence to prove that fact and to secure
our vfndieation when the opportunity
arises
The whole matter originates with
close relative of ours who bears a per-
sonal grudge against US. This individ-
ual, hearing Of the rumOTs that were
prevalent here last spring and seeing
in them an opportunity to vent his per-
sonal spite. secured all the information
he could regarding the matter, reported
1T to the district attorneys Office and
went to Tope5a with the witnesses call
ed against US to see that they swore
right The complaint found a ready
reception in the district attorneys office
at this time because, the district attor-
ney and his assistant had failed of re-
appointment and were sore at anybody
whom they could in any way connect
with Harry Bones appointment.
To anyone who is at all familiar with
the methods emlpOyed by a grand jury,
it is unnecessary for US to say that it
is entirely a one-sided affair. That the
accused is given no show whatever.
That hearsay, suspicion and personal
belief are received as evidence. As an
evidence of their manner of procedure
we may state that the editor was sum-
moned as a witness but after interview
ing the great sIeuths in the attorneys S
Office and their finding that we would
not testify to suit them we were never
allowed to appear before the grand jury.
We would ask the people of this cOun-
ty to suspend judgment in this matter
until we are given a chance to show our
side of this case in court and vindicate
ourselves. You know but one side of
the matter as yet and that in a very
distorted form. We have demanded
and expect to secure an immediate trial
and we assure you that ~ this trial our
vindication will be complete.

troops in the absence of their officers
were thrown into confusion by the sur
prise attack and fired wildly until the
officers rushed out of the hotel and led
a charge across the square, whereupon
the Drujina soldiers hastily decamped.
The regulars thereafter were most
nervous. The cOrresnop7en+ returning
later to the Hotel Continental on the
opposite side of the square, were fired
upon. At midnight the guests Of this
hotel were routed out of bed, the com

that he intended to open with artillery

Plans of Rebels Upset.
st. Petersburg. Dec. $3.50 P. NJ
The energetic measures taken by the

they have captured most of the store
of rifles and revOlvers and those in act

tionists whose lodgings were searched
last night. Wherever arms We're found
the owners were arrested. Nevertheless
the leaders from their hiding places
still continue to assure their followers
that all goes we'll.

FOUND A HUMAN HAND.
Negroes Badly Frightened by the
GruesOme Discovery.

Sheriff Lucas has a, very old, dried
up mystery on hand, and any one is
welcome to come in with a clue 1t is
a human hand, long since removed
from the person of the original owner
At noon today, while Sheriff Lucas
was driving along Crane street. he
noticed an excited lot of negroes in the
yard of Matte Johnson, a negro WO-
man who lives at 80 East Crane
street. Mrs. Johnson ran out upon
seeing him. and told him that a human
had been found under a. rose bush in
her yard. He investigated, and found
a very dry and almost petrified WO-
mans right hand, cut off Just above
the wrist joint It was covered with
dirt, and very old but Enthusiastically
a human hand. He took it to the
county jail. where a negro "trusty'
was ordered to unwrap the parcel. He
did So and when the gruesOme frag-
ment of human flesh was exposed
tried to escape. He was stopped by
the Jail doors, and when he had suf-
ficiently recovered, said that he had
seen the hand, or one just like it. be
fore. He said that a negro named
Henry Radford was exposing the
hand in Bee Adams joint on October
is, and soaring the other negroes
with it.
Sheriff Lucas took the hand to The
police station, and told the city Of
fcers they could investigate
The hand is so badly dried that it is
impossible to tell the original color or
race of the owner, and the negro who
says he saw it over three months ago,
states that it was dried and black AT
that time.
1t is the general supposition among
the officers that the hand is the result
of some surgical operation, although
hatchet. rather than cut off with
surgical instrument
