Great Bend, Kan. Dec. 1.-THE
representative of the American bank
burglar alarm system, Mr. Donaldson,
and Pinkerton detective from the
Kansas City Office, representing the
Bankers Insurance association, have
been here questioning the Brinkman
bank rObber, Joseph S. Kearns He
sticks steadfastly to his first story. The
Pfnkerton detective has been working
on the Midland National bank robbery
in Newton q, few weeks ago and finds
the robbery there to be similar to the
one here. The Newton bank officials
were in telephone communication with
the police officers here and are positive
in their statements that Kearns is the
man who held up that bank, as he
seems to answer their description of
the robber.
What would you say, Kearns,'' the
detective asked, 'if I should tell you
that can put witnesses on the stand

on the Newton case as. it is the opinion
of the officers that he read up 7on~that
robbery thoroughly though he de-
clares that he never heard of it. In
addition to the 5000 mentioned as
given to the widow of Westfall, the
man killed IN the capture of Kearns,

zens of the town raised nearly $500 and

The Newton bank was robbed Of
about $1,7O0. by a young man who
came into the building about closing
time, handed the cashier note telling
him that he was going to rob the bank
and then ordered him to draw the
blinds of the windows and turn the
"closed' sign. This done the bandit
drove the two employees of the bank
and two customers, one man and one
woman, into the vault and locked them
in, after which he crammed a handful
of bins into his pocket and escaped.

q voRIA HIS BRIDE TODAY.
H .HaoNG CHEERS ANNOUNCEMENT
Young King and His Bride Marched
From the Church at 1880 O'Clock
This Noon-Firing Of Artillery Pro-
claimed the Royal Wedding.

Madrid, May 31.-The marriage Of
ing Alfonso and Princess Victoria
was celebrated today.
King Alfonso and his bride left the
church at 1890 o'clock this noon.
The announcement of the wedding
by the firing of artillery salutes was
wildly acclaimed by the people.
Madrid, May 31S-All Spain is re.
jocing on the day of the wedding
of King Alfonso and Princess Victoria
and the capital has not seen such
scenes of enthusiasm during the pres
ent generation. The chief events were
the kings reception to the foreign en-
voys, including the representative of
the United States, and the signing of
the wedding contract.
All the central points from the
Puerta del Sol to the Prado are lit
orally packed. 1t is a motley throng,
with touches almost barLaric.
Swarthy Moors, wrapped in flowing
robes, with red turbans on their
heads; Austrian dancers performing
their native jota, gypsies from Cor
dova and Seville. Salamancan herd
ers in red velvet and tinseled gold,
with many representatives of Spain's
clergy and hordes of blind beggars
singing the melancholic music of
Spain. At the corners bands play for
street dancers. The municipality has
given free rein to the popular rejoic-
lngs. The schools and public institu-
tions have been closed and the who :,
population has given itself up to cele-
brating the kings marriage.

BATTLESAIP ON THE ROCKS
British Navy Likely to Lose One of
Its Best Vessels.

London, May 31.-It is feared the
British navy will lose one of its best
vessels, the first class battleship Mon
tagu, which struck on the rocks at
Lundy island, and according to latest
reports is not likely to be relocated.
Naval experts are of the opinion that
to attempt to refoat the Montagu un-
der present conditions will mean her
disappearance in thirty fathoms OF
water, as she is fixed precariously on
a ledge and in danger of overturning.
If possible an attempt will be made
to patch up the vessel before any er-
fort is undertaken to float her off.
Little is as yet known as to what hap
paned when the vessel struck. All
the members of the crew were saved,
but several men had limbs broke or
were seriously injured. 1t is reported
that something in the nature OF a
panic took place when the Montagu
struck.

DlSRiGARDS ACT or CONGRESS
Secretary Wilson Defends Course In
Exhausting Fund of $1,5oo,00o.

Washington, May 31.-What mem
bers of the house committee on appro-
priations regard as an absolute disre-
gard OF the law authorizing the con
struCtion of the new building for the
department OF agriculture is revealed
in the hearings before the committee
on the sundry civil appropriation bill.
In 1903 congress appropriated $780,
900 for this building. 1t was the gen.
eral understanding that this amend
ment was Tor the erection OF a com
plete building Tor the accommodation
of the entire department. 1t was
with some astOnlshment that the
members learned last week that
somebody" has ordered the cCnstruc-
tion of two wings of what may be
some day a completed building, and
that the two wings have practically
exhausted the $1,5OO,OO0 for a com.
plete structure.
The wings when completed will &C
cording to testimony given before the
committee, be inadequate to house
the department force and congress
will be called upon to appropriate an
other couple of millions to fill the
space between the two wings.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
was questioned at some length by the
committee and made a long prepared
statement in defense of the present
construction.
How can you justify your po-
sition?" asked Chairman Tawney.
When you made your plan, II you be-
came satisfied that $1,500,OOO was not
enough, | should have thought you
would have informed congress before
going on with the plan you adopted" !"
"You have a wrong idea in your
mind there" said Mr.. Wilson. 1--WE
made a plan to exhaust $4,000 900
We built in such a way that congress
might add to it, and we made NO
plans for our buildings"
The secretary then went on to de-
tail the great growth of the depart
ment and to defend his course in
erecting wings that might be added
to, instead of erecting one building
as specified by congress.

CIRCUS SPO|LS The DAY
FUNERAL SPIRIT DESIGNATED AT

TICKETS DID NOT SQUARE 1T
An Attempt Was Made to Prevent the
Showing Of the Circus, but the Ef'
fort Was Dropped-6rass Band Mu'
sic and Confusion All Day.

Neigh, Neb., May 31.-Special to
The News All the sacredness which
the law intends should be thrown
around Decoration day was cast to
the four winds here by the presence
of circus. From early daylight till
night the air was rent with noise and
confusion and the faithful who, with
bowed heads and sad hearts, m" u
to the cemetery on Laurel Hill
their respects to their beloved ,
did so with the feeling that their
which the law has set apart was be-
sadly desecrated.
An attempt was made to soothe TIN
wounded feelings of the veterans by
Offering the services of the circus band
together with free tickets to the show,
but both were respectfully declined.
An attempt was made early to pre-
vent the showing of the circus here,
but though the intention of the law
was clear, a conference with two Of
the state officials caused those who
undertook the matter to drop it. Just
who is to blame for the affair is not
known as it seemed mandatory upon
the city council to grant the license
upon payment Of the fee. The fore
noon was taken up by the decoration
of graves and a splendid Grafton by
Rev. V. F. Clark of the Congregational
church to the audience gathered.

Tapachula, Mex, May 31.-Reports
received here from Salvador state
that Guatemaans and their sympa-
thi2ers throughout the republic are
intensely excited over the situation
in Guatemala. General Toledo, reyo-
lutionist, proposes TO invade the cen
tral part Of Guatemala with n COnsid-
cradle force and announces that he
will give battle to the army of Presi-
dent Cabrera at the gates of the cap
ital.
President Cabrera's statement that
the revolution has been crushed in
its incipioncy Is ridculed by Guate-
malans, who state that the revolution
has only just commenced.
In upper Guatemala enthusiasm for
General BarlIas Is reported to be
growing daily. No news has been re-
ceived from General Pneda, who has
marched into the province Of Peten.
where it is confidently asserted the
Indians are sure to join him.
Reports from Guatemala City say
that Cabrera is preparing for fight
and that he is continually in fear Of
assassination
