The Chemical building is at the cor
ner of Camp and St. Joseph streets. It
was leased three years ago by Gour-
datn, who fitted I'D the first floor as a
bank room. According to signs on the
front windows, the Chemical building
is occupied by the Chemical bank, the
Louisiana Trust Banking company and
the World Guarantee and Surety COM
pany. No one can be found who has
ever seen person in the lower floor
since the three banking institutions
started in business there. but the up
per floor was occupied for a time by
Gourdain's brother-in-law-
Here it was that the visionary
schemes of Gourdain were born. All
he required was a staff of six girl
stenographers and typewriters and a
small printing establishment to turn
out the autographed letterh eads. whose
design was his own creation. This
Iurid stationery brought the business.
Gourdain had in his employ an East
Indian named Munaforth. The lottery
shark was greatly attached to the
brown man, and placed entire con-
hdence in him Munaforth's s sole duty
was to open the mail and arrange the
money orders and checks, which Tor
Years came in a golden stream Gour-
dain occupied a mean little desk, well
to him AIunaforth reported every
morning in the week. Sunday included,
and poured the nights accumulation
of checks and negotiable paper into a
huge drygoods box
When the detectives got too hot for
him in New Orleans, and after Gour-
dain had practically made himser
penniless through squandering his i'm
mense receipts at the gaming table and
in the wine cup, the polished sWlndler
changer his base of operations to chi
cago, where, at No. 90 Madison street
he resumed his gigantic lottery fakes
under the name of BLACK & Co.
Gourdain served a six months sentence
in the Shawnee county jail ten years
ago He was convicted before Judge c.
G. Foster of the United States district
court of dealing in lottery tickets. Gour-
dain then operated from New Orleans
and he was brought to Kansas because
he sold the tickets in this state. He lived
like a prince and was a trusty sleeping
in what is called the Darlor cell on the
first floor and never being locked up. His
meals were sent in from hotel.

dered by Secretary Taft, President Palma
and his cabinet have rejected the sugges-
ton of the Secretary, and SO far from hang
ing their heads in shame are Infatuated
with him for deciding against them. At the
palace last night, when Secretary Taft -sug-
gested to the president that there might be
times when patriotism called for sacrifice,
Don Tomas airily remarked: :.
"Mr Secretary, do not Intend that you
should give me lessons in patriotism"
Senior O'Farrili would not have dared in
a crisis" less grave to launch against the
American people the bitter words to which
he gave utterance in the presence Of the
commissioners, but these petty things were
beneath the notice of the Secretary of War,
who patiently argued with this bunch of
their false ideas of honor and fulfill their
pledge. But. today showed the failure OF
his efforts. Word came from President
Parma this afternoon to the Secretary posi-
lively refusing to make any concessions TO
the liberals and offering to resign his Of
fee and permit Intervention by the Ameri-
cans. Before this letter reaches its dest1-
nation President Roosevelt will probably
have proclaimed to the American people the
details of this disgusting state OF analrs'
of the treachery Of the Parma government
of the rottenness Of the election and OF the
readiness of the rebels to take up arms
against the government as joyfully as II
they were starting forth on picnic. BE-
tween now and Friday Secretary Tart Will
play his last card. The congress has been
called for that day, and, provided a quorum
is present, the resignation Of the president
and his cabinet will be presented 1t Is the
intention of the latter to cause the mooer-
ates to absent themselves from this ses-
sion, prevent quorum and thus force m
teryention. If the moderates can be per-
suaded to attend the session in sufficient
numbers to constitute with the liberals a
quorum they may vote to accept the resig-
nation and proceed to the election OF
new government. Herein lies the only nope
of Secretary Taft that the crisis can be
hridged without temporary American occu-
patton.

wheat, rye, oats, etc, that help to maze
the farmer so proud to call himself the

are shrouded in billowy feds of SHIN
mering green. Whatarti6cial landscape
