HAS FAITH IN KANSAS.
G. 3. Tinlse- OF Cleveland Here In
vestigating Conditions.

c.. B. Tinker of Cleveland. Ohio. is in
/ Topeka today getting some Kansas
statistics to present to the Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce, which body Is
starting about February TO-
Mr.. Tinker wants the Chamber Of
commerce to spend some days in the
towns, and getting acquainted with
trade conditions here
Il have great faith in Kansas" said
MT Tinker During the past ten years
| have travelled extensive over 20 of the
states in the western part of the coun-
try selling cloalSs. and I can say with
the utmost truthfulness that the state
OF Kansas has shown more progress in
those ten years than any other state in
the score; and l think 1t would be safe
to say any other state in the union.
The farms have improved there ere
signs of better cultivation, more acre
age, and better barns and dwellings.
There is also marked improvement IN
the towns. The hotels are better than
they used to be, and the hotels are
mighty close to the travelling man.
Il can't say much for the hotels in
Topeka, commented Mr. Tinker sadly.
OF this size. must say Topeka has the
poorest hotel service of any town
know The proprietors of hotels here
don't seem to care whether they give
good service or not. Travelling men are
generally willing to pay we'll for
vice, but they expect good service when
they do pay well. Topeka hotel men
ought to brace up and quit running
their hotels in such a slipshod, care
less manner.
Il have always stood UP for Kansas
When used to come out here during
the hard times. people would say to
me, when I said 1 had been out in
Kansas, oh, Bleeding Kansas I didn't
know they could buy anything out in
Kansas told them to wait; that
Kansas would come out all right, and
it has The people here are buying
better goods and more goods than ever
in their history. Take my own bust
ness, for example. Whereas the aver
age price of the coats we sold ten
years ago was probably $40, now it is
nearer $40. This is due to the pros
porous condition of the state
Il can especially compliment the
merchants of Kansas. They are the
most progressive and wide awake
class of merchants I meet anywhere
in the west. They know how to run
their business; how to sell goods. And
they seem to be making money as fast
as any merchants I know of, too.
Mr.. Tinker spent some time this
morning at the Office of Secretary F.
D. Coburn. getting information from
him about the agricultural products
of the state, which he will present to
the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce.

CARUSO ON TRIAL.
Woman Who Made Complaint Declines
to Appear Against Him.

New York, Nov 21.@Thorough pre-
parations were made by the police de-
partment and counsel representing Ea-
rico Caruso. the famous tenor OF the
Metropolitan Opera company for a
hearing in police court this afternoon of
the charge that Caruso annoyed a wo-
man in the monkey house at Central
park one day last week.
notwithstanding what appeared to be
an earnest search for the woman whom
Caruso is alleged to have annoyed.
the defense declared before the hour
set for the hearing today that they
had been unable to find her.
When her complaint caused the ar
rest of the singer she was taken TO
the police station along with the pris-
oner and gave her name as Mrs. Han
nah K. Graham of the Bronx borough
She was told to appear at the hear
ing on the next day and allowed to go

ham complained.
Police Captain Stephenson of the
Central Park station, said today that
he was informed last night by a pFomi-
nent business man, who knows Mrs.
Graham, that she would not appear in
court for anything, as she does not
want to be sna psh Gifted and have her
name spread all over the city and per-
haps the country"
Captain Stephenson said his in
formant told him that Mrs. Graham is
a woman of eminent responsibility. He
declared that her failure to appear
would make little difference as to the
outcome of the case against Caruso,
however.
Officer Cain. the park policeman who
arrested Caruso, was the first witness
called. He said he had seen Caruso in
the building before and had watched
him particularly. In the monkey
house he saw CarusO following two
girls, one of these girls was about II
years old.
Counsel for Caruso objected to this
testimony, declaring that there was
only one woman mentioned in the COM
plant against the prisoner. The OBJ
lection was Overruled.
Policeman Cain, who arrested
Caruso, rave some sensa tiOnal testi-
mony. He said he saw Caruso move
up close to Mrs. Graham and then saw
one of CaruSos hands glide stealthily
through a slit in his overcoat and then
he saw Caruso pinch the woman Mrs.
Graham turned swiftly and struck
Caruso in the chest. crying out, You

There is considerable interest
being taken in the base ball game
to be played here tomorrow
afternoon between the Grand
Rapids and Bemidji teams. The
Rapids players have been play
ing great ball of late and the Be-
midi team has been "going
some" all summer. The "dope"
on the two teams would indicate
that they are very evenly match
ed. In their contests with the
Akeley team 1t is about a stand
off. Bemidji defeated Akeley in
two games at Akeley, but the
Akeleyites evened the two de-
feats by shutting out the home
team on its own grounds. Grand
Rapids won a 16.inning game
with Akeley and was defeat I'd in
one game, all in one day. This
would indicate that the contest
tomorrow will be worth going to
see. The game will be called at

Tarred and Foathored Cass Lake
Photographer Was in Be-
midi Today. r.>
STORY OF THE AFFAIR IS
TOLD BY VICTIM HIMSELF
Unlikely That Man Will Show
Himself in These Parts
Again.

Byron Andrews, the Cass Lake
photographer who was tarred
and feathered at Cass Lake
Thursday night. came to Bemid j
last evening and spent the night
IN the city, leaving this afternotn
for North Dakota.
To the Pioneer Andrews said,
concerning the affair:
"Sometwo weeks ago, unknown
parties pasted a notice on the
showcase in front of my photo.
graph gallery, to the effect that I
should be 'linched.' Similar
notices were posted about Cass
Lake and the people up there
were greatly worked up over it.
1.-THE first I knew of the in.
tention to do me harm was about
II o'clock Thursday night. I
was sitting in the home of a
friend, across the Great North
ern railroad tracks, talking to
the lady and her daughter, who
is IA years old. Two men, whose
names 1 know, raped at the
door and said that was wanted
at the telephone Office, as there
was a long distance call.
II went with them across the
tracks to the sidewalk, when
about 200 men arose from either
side of the walk, where they had
been concealed, and grabbed me.
They placed hands over my
mouth to keep me from making
any outcry, and took me to the
village park, about a block north
OF the Endion hotel. My clothes
we're torn from my back, and a
mixture of tar and molasses was
poured over me and the crowd
dispersed, after telling me that a
similar dose would be given me
if did not leave town before 6 in
the morning.
l went to my home and re-
moved the tar, and next morning
went about town to find out who
had done the work, but was un-
successful. I came to Bemidii
last evening. I disposed of my
photograph gallery to Morgan
Kinney, and will 90 to Dakota.
They cannot prove that I did the
things I am accused off,
