SERIOUS CHARGES.
Board of Control to Investigate the
Winfield Asylum.

Winfield, Kan, July 25.-Charges of
official misconduct have been lodged
against c. S. Newton, superintendent
of the state imbecile school here, and
the board of control will soon make an
investigation. It is understood that
some of the members will be here to-
day. The charges have been made by
Miss Barney, who was recently dis
charged from the institution
]. A. Maxwell, clerk of the school, is
duplicating the superintendent in sew
eraI shady transactions. The charges
include padded pay rolls, drawing mon
ey for the transfer of inmates that was
never made, exorbitant drug bills, ex-
penses for political trips, payment OF
private bills under the guise Of public
items and a whole raft of other minor
things. While there may not be any
real foundation for any such charges
the board deems it absolutely necessary
to take cognizance of them and instt-
tute an investigation. If the charges are
sustained several heads will fall in the
basket and some prosecutions will fol-
low II they are not sustained the
board will give the accused clean
bill of health.
DIR. Newton was first appointed sup
erintendent under Governor Morrill's
DR.. Pitcher under the Leedy admins
tration, and in turn succeeded Pitcher
when Stanley became governor. He has
held the place ever since under both of
StanleyS administrations under Bailey S
and up to this time under Hoch's. There
has been much friction among the Off
Gals of the institution recently.

LAND OF LITTLE VALUE.
All the Good in the Uintah Reserve
Has Been Taken.

Columbus. o., July 25.-In a letter
to Col. w. L. Curry, state commits
sioner of soldiers claims, regarding
the opening to settlement of the
Uintah Indian reservation, Commits
sioner w. A. Richards of the general
land Office at Washington says:
From such information as this office
possesses in regard. to these lands it
is my opinion that the best fof the
lands have been taken forT Indian
allotment and Indian. grazing lands,
and that all but a small portion of
the land that will be opened will have
to be irrigated in order to cuItivatesit,
and all homestead entrymen will have
to pay $1.25 per acre at the time they
make their final proof, which money
goes to the Indians. I make this
statement to you in order that the
soldiers who are contemplating going
out to register may not be disappoint-
ed if they do not succeed in obtaining
desirable lands.

BEATS FIANCE AT ALTAR.
He Is So Badly Battered That He Is
Taken to Hospital.

London, July 25.-A young Belgian,
named Deneck, who repented a prom
Use to marry as the wedding ceremony
was about to be performed, now lies
in hospital in a battered condition
in Paris.
He was engaged to Celeste volsin,
the pretty daughter of a Bethune peas
ant, and the wedding was fixed at the
mayors Office. Relatives and guests
assembled, and the pair stood side by
side before the mayor. z.-..s
When, however, the mayor was
about to pronounce the words which
would have made them man and wife,
Deneck yawned. The mayor had never
seen a would-be bridegroom yawn,
and he stopped the service.
Deneck yawned again, and angry
whispers were heard among the rela-
tives. Then Deneck relieved the ten
sion.
''I have thought better of it, he
said, making ready to leave. "And I
do not think I want to marry at all"
But he had not reckoned with the
Volsin family. Celeste rushed after
him, and sSnote him in the ear with all
the force of her dimpled fists. Her
three brothers followed suit, and pun
meled the recalcitrant fiance until he
cried for mercy and pleaded to be
allowed to marry the girl.
Finally he was rescued by the
mayor and his clerk, and removed to
the hospital. He is now taking proceed
ings against the Volsin family.

officials of the Paper Trust Block the
Investigation.

St Paul. Mimi, July 25.-Investigation of
the business methods of the General Paper
company has been begun here before Rob
ert S. Taylor, special examiner appointed
by the United States district court. Frank
b. Kellogg handled the case on behalf of
the government, assisted by Robert E.
Olds. The General Paper company was
represented by ]. G. Flanders of Milwau-
kee; William Brace of Chicago, and James
Armstrong of st. Paul. The tactics of the
corporation were the same here as those
adopted in the hearing at Milwaukee Mr.
Flanders instructed witnesses to refuse
replies to all questions bearing on the eX-
istence or non-existence of a combination
to equalize profits or fix prices. Mr.. Nell
son was the first witness called. To ev-
cry question asked that could by any pos
sibility have borne on the issue under in
vestigation, he refused replies. At the con-
clusion of Mr. Nelson's examine ton,
which lasted two hours, Mr.. Kellogg an
nounced that the government would appeal
to the court for an order compelling the
witness and subsequent witnesses to an
SWer questions.

WORTH THE MONEY.
Lawson Thinks ''Fads and Fancies''
Reasonable at $500.

Boston. July 25.-Regarding his
$1,000 subscription to "Fads and Fan
cies," Thomas w. Lawson said today
that his dealings with the concern
were purely of business nature.
Being informed that Dreamwold
had been chosen as the country resi-
dence to represent New England in a
story on attractive residences through
out the country said Mr.. Lawson. 'I
paid the stated amount of $500. For
that I was to receive one of the $50
copies to which the edition was linn
tied. Subsequently. proofs were sent
me for approval and I must say that
in engravings they were perfectly sat
isfactory. The price, 1 believe, was
reasonable, in view of the costly fea-
lures of the publication. In soliciting
my subscription, the representative
showed me a magniflcently prepared
description of John Jacob Astor's
estates and also one of ]. Pierpont
Morgan's. All [ can say is that from
what I have seen of the scheme it APP
pears we'll worth the $1,000 subscrip-
ton. OF course, if for any reason the
price has been raised to certain peo-
ple that alters the case apparently.
Indeed, 1 am at a loss to understand
the present turn of affairs"

may RENEW STRIKE.
Chicago Teamsters Are Invited to Do
So by Employers.

Chicago, July 25.-At a mass meet
ing of employers, at which representa-
tives of over 200 business houses were
present, it was unanimously decided
that no more of the teamsters who
have been on strike would be rein
stated until all of the unions involved
have called off the strike. After the
meeting ]. V. Farwell, Jr., speaking
for the Employers association, issued
the following statement.
Owing to the fact that the various
local teamsters' unions have refused to
call off the strike and permit their
members to return to work, by which
action the teamsters are kept in a state
of unrest and their attitude toward
their employers made uncertain the
members of the Employers associa-
ton have concluded not to employ
striking teamsters until the whole
strike is settled
The action taken by the Employers
association may result in giving a new
lease of life to the teamsters' strike.
AS soon as the stand taken by the en-
ployers had been made known to the
unions meeting of the transfers
Joint council was called to consider
ways and means of renewing the fight
should such a course be decided upon.
The teamsters are in a belligerent
mood and threats are freely made
that, unless the employers recede from
their position, there will be general
strike of all the union teamsters in
Chicago.
This would mean the calling out of
$4,000 men, whereas but 5000 were
involved in the strike which was re-
Gently declared at an end by the team
gters' joint council.
A. J. Reed, formerly secretary of
the teamsters' joint council, said:
1.-THE decision of the employers will
rouse every union teamster in Chicago
TO action, and unless am greatly
mistaken the employers will have a
fight on their hands that they never
dreamed of. There is plenty of fight
left in the teamsters and the action
taken by the employers will tend to
get them into an uglier frame of mind
than ever
President Hugh McGee, of tbs
Truck Drivers union, said:
THE truck drivers will never return
to work until they are granted the
same terms as existed before the
STRIKE"

ROckefellers Securing Monopoly
on Lfnseed Business.
Have Already Begun to Crush
Out Competitors.
FACTORIES ARE CLOSED
Independent Concerns Feared to
Buy Enough Seed.
Big Advance in Prices Is Looked
for Soon.

Buffalo, n. Y, July 25.-With the
closing Of the Spencer Kellogg, Mann
Bros, and Hauenstein & Co., independ
ent factories, the first step has been ia
ken by the American Linseed Oil COM
pary. controlled by Rockefeller inter
ests, in it's destruction of linseed oil
competition and the exploitation of an
other necessity of commerce to its own
profit.
The position of the trust is improgma-
Bile. The Buffalo factories have no seed,
because the manufacturers feared to
buy more. knowing as they did that the
trust had accumulated a surplus of
anywhere from 5000, 900 to 1000, 900 bush
els.
At any moment the trust could have
turned this enormous surplus, equiva-
lent to nearly a third of a years crop,
into oil, and by cutting the price have
undersold every Independent in the
field, bringing financial ruin.
Expect Big Raise in Prices.
With their small competitors out of
the market, the losses occasioneds by
cut OF 10 or Is cents per gallon in the
price of oil would have easily been made
up by an advance of 20 to 40 cents, such
as will be made. it is said. when the
time is ripe.
The methods pursued by the Ameri-
can Linseed Oil company in. eliminating
competition are not dissimilar from
those in operation in the Standard Oil
company.
Linseed OIL like petroleum, creates its
own demand by it's necessity for use in
the manufacture of paints, varnishes,
and Hnoleum. because it is the only
natural vegetable drying oil known to
the world today. 1t serves the dual pur-
pose Of a vehicle to carry the pigments
used in coloring paints and drying them
when same have been applied.
Besides this. it is limited in produc-
ton to about 100000 barrels a year
no matter how bountiful their crops of
FAX which furnishes the seed, cannot
compete with the American product,
because of the duty of 25 cents per
gallon. which protects the producer
against competition
Easily Can Control Crop
The entire crop of flaxseed, from
which linseed oil is derived, aggregates
only about 10000 bushels. Buffalo
and Minneapolis divide the market,
this city controlling the east and Min
duction has shifted from around Chi
eago to the northwestern states and
the principal point where buyers of the
seed congregate is in Minneapolis.
In order to keep the seed from ex-
port trade a, bonus of about cents is
offered the farmer when he markets
his crop over prevailing foreign prices.
If haxseel is worth. $1.25 per bushel
abroad the farmer here will receive
1927 until the close of navigation on
the lakes eliminates. the possibility of
foreign shipment at a. profit. tn ere
fore, he markets the whole crop in
about eight weeks each fall.

Street Car Conductor Falls Into Large
Fortune.

Sayer has handed down a decision Civ
ing the entire Floyd estate, worth ST.
100000, to Milos Gorcence, husband
of the late Miss Floyd. Gorcence was

She was fifteen years older than he,
but despite family opposition she mar

house in which she lived The will
was contested by near relatives on the
ground of the testator's incompetency.
