TOPEKA MEN ARRESTED
switzer and White, Horse Buyers,
Charged With Theft.

James Switzer and Bud" White two
Topeka horse buyers, have been arrested
by the sheriff Of Jackson county, and
taken to Holton on charge of horse
stealing. On the night of May g two
horses, a riding pony and a large black
mare, were stolen from the pasture Of
a man named Claypool, who lives near
Holton. The next day the horses were
sold in Topeka, it is alleged by White
and Switzer. The pony was sold to DR..
RICHTER, a Topeka physician. and the
mare to a farmer living south Of the
city, by a horse dealer named George
Owens, a man of excellent standing
Mr.. Givens proved that he bought the
horses from White and Switzer.
Considerable mystery surrounded the
theft of the horses at the time. They
were traced to Topeka the next day, and
officers found them after they had been
sold. No one seemed able to give a
description of the men who had sold
them. and it was believed that the
thieves were not local celebrities.

Justice Brown Did Not Wait to Be
FOrcIbIy Removed.

Washington. March 9.-The announce
ment that Associate Justice Brown OIL
the supreme court of the United States
has retired from the bench having
reached the age limit Of 20 years, also
on account Of failing eyesight, recalls
an amusing story in this connection.
Some years ago, when Justice Fields was
still a member of the court, although
quite infrm throueh age and ailment
he refused to take advantage Of the
law allowing him to retire after reach
ing 10 years. Justice Field was seldom
on the bench and rendered no opinions
and his associates were beginning to
crftfcfse his determination not to re-
tire. The newspapers Of the country
began to attack him, and there was any
amount OF unfavorable criticism on &C
count of his course Justice Brown was
in Detroit at the time and, meeting an
old friend on the street one day, le
said:
asTf ever I get to be 10 years old and
remain on the bench. want you to com A
down to Washington and kick me off -
A few days ago this same friend
happened to be In Washington, and he
called at the residence Of Justice Brown
The 5urist came downstairs and held out
his hand to greet his lifelong friend
But the latter made no signs whatever
that he was glad to see the justice. but
instead. he held back and did not even
hold out his hand Justice Brown natur-

sionaries- 1 was assured by very
prominent Chinese that the Chinese
people are not all friendly to the pres
ence Of the missionaries. They resent
the efforts of the missionaries to force
lot of new creeds on their people.
The Chinese have perhaps a more
firmly fixed religious belief than any
other people in the world, and they
look upon the religions of the western
world with scant favor.
''The Chinese government is as
friendly to the people and government
of the United States as toward any
other although nothing has a greater
tendency to strain them than the fre-
quent publications of false reports and
threatened armed invasions. Although
not encouraged by the government in
any way, these reports constitute
grave menace to the continuance Of
amicable relations between the Chi
nese and Americans, for these mislead-
ing reports by means of the native
press are circulated broadcast
throughout the empire and find ready
credence among the masses"

HE CLIMBED PELEE.
Professor IFeiIprin Found the Volcano
Quiet and Peaceful.

New York, March "a cable dis
patch to the Herald from Fort de
France, Martinique, says.
By telephone from the government
observatory. adjacent to Mont Pelee,
Prof. Heilprin of the University Of
Pennsylvania, says he has made an
ascent of the crater of the volcano. He
found it quiet and is assured it has
been quiet.
Despite reports to the contrary.
there We're no signs of a renewal Of
activity on February 16, when Mar
Unique sustained a violent shock. Sew
era1 houses in Fort de France fell.
Many others were damaged and con
demned. They are now being torn
down.
Since then there have been eight
shocks felt in this city. They are di-
minishing in violence, but are frequent.
The maximum vertical amplitude of
the first was thirty-fve millimeters.
This shock was preceded by tremors.
The population are much alarmed and
many went to the country where they
are still sleeping under tents at night.
Prof. Heilprin is positive the earth
quake shocks have no connection with
the volcano. He says they are due to
a slow setting of the bed of the Carib-
bean sea.

WILL BE NO WAR.
Corbin Says Stories From China Are
Greatly Exaggerated.


San Francisco, March 9.-'There
will be no war between the United
States and China said Major General
Henry c. Corbin uDon his arrival
from the Orient on the steamer Korea
so far as I have been able to observe,
the reported disturbances in China
have been grossly exaggerated and
conditions are not nearly so alarming
as one would be led to suppose from
reports that have been published
abroad throughout the western world
THAT there have been disturbances
is quite true but do not think they
menace the peace of China and the
United States, er any other nation
"The feeling against Americans in
China does not exceed that entertained
toward all other foreigners, and as I
understand the situation the entire
anti-foreign feeling is due in a large
measure TO the exploitation of busi-
ness enterprises which the Chinese
feel should be controlled by their own
