and Asks to be Allowed to 90
Back Home.
Washington. March 1S.-"Please,
please take the ropes from my hands
and from the hands of my people,
and let us be iree," was she plea OF
Geronimo, the old Apache warrior,
to the President. He begged that
he be released from captivity in
which he is held at Fort Sill, Oklaho.
ma, and allowed to return to his old
hunting grounds In Arizona.
"We are tired OF living in a strange
land" he pleaded, "and want to go
back to our old home. We will be
good"
Mr.. Roosevelt was not convinced
by the argument an, In replying to
1t he fell into the Indian style Of talk.
"You had a bad heart when you
were In Arizona" the President told
Geronimo. "You tortured and kill.
the Great White Fathers people and
burned their houses. am not sure
that you now have good heart. l
have appointed Mr.. Leupp to watch
over you and he will report to me.
II you prove that you now have
good heart we may, perhaps, let you
60 back to your old home, but not
now"
Geronimo was accompanied to the
White House by Hollow Horn Bear
and American Horse Of the Sioux;
Quanah Parker, chief Of the Com.
manches; and Little Plume OF the
Black Feet. The Indians tried to see
the President yesterday but were
turned down, as they had not paid
their respects to Commissioner
Leupp. Mr.. Leupp went with them
to day and presented them to the
President.
Geronimo, chief Of the Appaches,
was the cruelist Indian the West ever
knew. For years his band Of rene
gades roamed through New Mexico
and Arizona and across the border
Into Mexico, torturing and murder.
ing settlers. In 1886 Gen. Miles was
given command OF the region and or.
dered to clean out the Indians.
He selected two officers and q small |
band OF soldiers to follow Geronimo
until they captured him. These men
were Capt H. W. Lawton, afterward
a general, killed In the Philippine
war, and DR.. Leonard Wood, then q |
young army surgeon and now gene
raj commanding the army In the
Philippines. For four months they
trailed the Apaches day and night
until at last Geronimo surrendered
and begged Lawton for his life. Gen. |
Miles in his book OF "reminiscences,
thus describes the capture:
Geronimo rode into our camp and |
dismounted. He was one of the !
brightest, most resolute, determined
looking men that have ever en-.
countered. He had the cleverest,
sharpest dark eyes that I think |
have ever seen, unless 1t was that OF
Gen. Sherman. Every movement in
dicated power, energy and determi-
nation. In everything he did be had |
a purpose.
The Indians that surrendered with |
Geronimo have never been matched
since the days OF Robin Hood Many
of the warriors were outlaws from
their own tribes. Their clothing was
trimmed in such a way that when
lying in a bunch of grass, il they re-
manned perfectly silent, it was impos-
sible to distinguish them as if they
had been bird or a serpent"
Most Of the Apaches were sent to
Fort Marion, Fla, but later were
transferred to Fl. Sill.

estimated that General Kuropatkin',
orces at the beginning of the BATH
OF Mukden consisted Of more thar
400, 900 men. His loss In killed anC
wounded before March 10 is estimat
ed at 10000. Nearly all his wound
ed were removed north before the
railway was cut. Less than 1,00C
remained in the Russian hospitals In
Mukden, although thousands fell by
the roadside in the retreat. Three
hundred Japanese were found in
these Russian hospitals.
Reports as to the number OF pris.
oners captured are yet incomplete.
More than 1000 were captured in
Mukden. The Russians set fire to
stores and the railway station, but
they We're only partly burned. The
Japanese saved large quantities OF
-four and beancake and other sup
plies.
Adivision Of Japanese attacked Ii
kampu and a small village to the
south and drove the Russians out
with heavy loss. The Russians on
being reinforced counter attacked the
village, drove out the Japanese and
inflicted enormous losses. The Thir-
ty.third regiment, south of the VII
lage, was practically annihilated. 1t
received In front and on one of the
TANKS a heavy artillery fire before
the infantry attack.
DEAD SIX FEET HIGH.
The Japanese were greatly out.
numbered when the attack began and
their dead were piled in heaps behind
the low mud walls OF the village. The
Russian dead were scattered over the
field like a carpet. There was also
evidence Of desperate hand-to-hand
fighting near the village. The bodies
Of the Japanese and Russians were
piled together in heaps. In several
places where the fighting had been
closest the piles Of dead were five or
six feet high. The living had climbed
on top Of their dead comrades and
fought and fallen, only to be follow.

Japanese soldiers could not see over
the pile.
The bodies. showed many wounds,
indicating that the men were fight
ing to the last, although wounded.
Lakampu was the scene Of a fierce
street and house to house struggle.
Every street, lane and compound
wall shows it's heap OF dead. Many
buildings were burned, and wounded
who crawled into them for shelter
were killed. To seek cover for the
advancing troops was impossible on
account OF the frozen ground, and
both the japanese and the Russian
charges were made across the open
fields.
THE WARS DEADLIEsT FIGHT.
The fighting at this point proba.
bly, was the most deadly and desper-
ate Of the entire war thus far. The
Chinese were not allowed on the field
as 1t was feared they would rob the
dead. Hundreds Of Japanese soldiers
are still engaged clearing the field
and burying and burning the dead.
Most Of the Japanese wounded have
been removed to the hospitals in

Sentiment in the oats market was some

MIIAIOE BACK IN HARNESS.
He VIII Be Out for Football Practice
at Once.

Glen Millice. the Washburn football
player. returned to Topeka Sunday and
announced that he would be out for
practice at once. Chicago university
didn't get him in spite of the report
that the big school was trying to in
duce him to take the rest of his col
Iege course there.
Millice says he doesn't like the looks
of athletics at Chicago. Most of the
players are hired in some way, and the
disposition is to play dirty football.
He says that the Chicago university
squad is no faster than the crack
teams in this part of the west; that
their only advantage is in weight.
With Millice, Caldwell and White
for the backfield in the game with
Kansas university, the Washburn peO-
pie consider that they have an excel
lent chance to win. This is certainly
about as fast a trio as the college ever
had.

that this thing was not done dishonest

tions. The principal gains were amongst
the specialties. Delaware and Hudson
rose points; Linseed, United States Rub

Conspicuous gains in the rainor special
ties and apprehension over the money con-
ditions effected openings in the standard
stocks and the advance in Reading was
of little influence. Important movements
of prices followed the opening dealings

The Sunday closing order was strictly
enforced here for two Sundays last April
On April go the word was sent forth
that it would be "all right to open
back and side doors. Joints" all over
the city did a quiet business on that
day despite the denials Of Vernon J.
Rose, chief of police, who said that the
order was still in force. From that time
until yesterday the Enforcement" of
the Sunday closing order was a farce
The Sunday business of the "fointkeep-
ers" steadily increased until crowds
went went across the line from this city
every Sunday. .Hoohgans" became ac-
tive and many "drunksN rode on the
street cars. Public sentiment was
aroused and to the fact that the saloons
ran openly on Sunday was largely due
the bringing of custer proceedings
against Mayor Rose and the county at
torney in the supreme court Tuesday.
The first step taken by Mr.. Hutchings,
as attorney for Mayor Rose, was to ad-
wise the mayor to close the saloons on
Sunday. An order from Chief Rose that
the Joints be closed was given to the
police at roll call Sunday morning.
Some of the detectives We're secretly told
Of the order Saturday night and several
t'1ointkeepers" were told that they
would be expected to close Sunday. 9th
ers did not get any notice and opened
their places Sunday morning. Some of
the "iointkeeDers" were doing a good
business when they were visited by po-
lfcemen and told to close. One Joint
Keeper" explained that he knew moth
ing Of the closing order and the officer
said:
s'Wer, you know it now and you had
better get this place closed in quick or

Chief Rose spent the day driving
over the city in buggy to see that
the closing order was enforced.

the order he said:

HILL MAKES PLEA.
Before Court of Appeals for Rehearing
in Patrick Case.

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 2.-In asking the
court of appeals to grant a reargument
in the case Of Albert T. Patrick. now
condemned to death Cor the murder OF
Millionaire William A Marsh Rice, ex-
Senator David 3. Hill, in his brief, sub
mitted to the court today, lays emphasis
upon the fact that Judge Gray, who
wrote the prevailing opinion against
Patrick has a son, Henry G. Gray, who
assisted the district attorney in New
York and participated in the prosecution
of his client. On account of this rela-
ton Mr.. Hill argues that Gray should
not have sat in the case and calls atten-
ton to the fact that without Gray's
vote the court would have stood evenly
divided.
The statute provides that no judge
shall sit in a case in which he is in
terested." p"
Mr. Hill argued that the present cir
cumstances came at least within the
spirit Of the law and that in a matter
of life and death the point was an im-
portant one.
Briefs for and against reargument
were presented to the court by Mr. Hill
for the defendant and Assistant District
Attorney Howard S. Cans of New York

HE SENT BACK s3OO,OOO
He Tells Officers the Story of
His Crime.
He Was Employed as a Brokers'
Messenger.

New York, Oct. z2.-Henry A. Leon
ard, who was employed. by Halle s.
SteigIitz, prominent firrn of brokers.
as clerk, made a confession today
that it was he who robbed the Ma
tional City bank of securities worth
$359,000.
Leonard had been for several years
a trusted employe of Halle & Steiglitz
and lived quietly with his mother in
Harlem. He is about 25 years old.
Leonard told the police today that
he conceived the idea of the theft
some three or four months ago and
had been planning during that time
to execute it and show how easy such
a scheme could be practiced on the
banks of New York. on the 26eh Of
September he said he found four blank
checks on the Hanover National bank.
That was in the forenoon. Later in
the same day he said he was in the
corridor Of the National City bank and
among the men waiting in line he saw a
mad holding in his hand an envelope
marked 100000 4 y per cent on the
envelope. He said he heard the loan
clerk tell the messenger that the in
terest was 4 not 4, then, he said,
the messenger departed. Leonard then
had his cue and went to the Bowery
and there ordered a rubber certifca-
ton stamp, but before doing so he cut
out the certiicaton of an old check
from which the stamp was to be
copied. When he secured the stamp
he filed out the body of the check
drawn on the Hanover National bank.
Then he said he went to Wall street
and hailed a passing boy and asked
him if he knew where the National
City bank was. The boy said he did
not.
He Sent Boy.
Leonard said he told him: Take
this check to No. So Wall street and
hand It to the loan clerk Leonard
meanwhile stood opposite the custom
house and saw the boy take the pack
age and come out with the securities.
Leonard said he took the securities to
his house at 5s6 East 1s6th street,
and took them to a mail box in the
wrapper, affixed the necessary stamp
/ and took them to a mail blk in the
neighborhood of West Ninety second
street and mailed them to Dyer Pearl
/ of 80 West Seventy-third street, who
/ is a member of the firm that owned
i the securities. There were, however
only $1,000 worth of securities in
the package, which were received
/ safely the next day by Mr.. Pearl.
/ There were .S59, 5000 worth of securi-
I ties missing and Leonard explained
i that by saying that to have enclosed
them all in a package by mail would
have made the package too bulky,
and he therefore kept them out and
only mailed 100000 worth. In this
+ connection it was noted by the police
that only about $4,000 worth of the
/ securities was negotiable.
August Stieglitz, of the brokerage
firm that employed Leonard. made the
following statement concerning him:
4 Henry Leonard. or Harry Leonard,
as he was known in our office. has
been in our employ three or four years.
He is 20 or % years old. He has al
