THIS BADEN AGENT GUILTY..
G. B. Crichton Says He Was Instructed
to FaIsify the Books.

Winfield, Kan, Sept. Isl expect to
go to the penitentiary all right for
this" declared G. 3. CritchtOn of New
Jersey, an agent, in the preliminary ex-
ure here. He had furnished one Of the
J. P. Baden Produce company's fall
ure here. He had FURNISH one of the
sensations of the day by turning states
evidence in the case in which he and
z. r. Balzer are accused of making
false entries in the firms books in order
to show the solvency of the company.
DO you mean" asked Judge Jackson.
Blazers attorney, that you will plead
guilty to this charge when it comes up
for triai?"
Il do" was the reply.
In his testimony, Crichton practically
exonerated c. T. Wells of Arkansas
City and @. +. Anderson of Winfield OF
blame in the perjury cases. He said he
had made up his mind before his arrest.
after he read in the papers that the
charges had been fled, to come to Win

F. E. Rosebrock, his employer. owner
Of the controlling interest in the pro-
duce company and z. r. BAlzer, man
ager and right hand man of Rosebrock,
had ordered him, he declared. to make
these false entries, and had promised
to shield him from all consequences
Rosebrock was arrested in Brooklyn
yesterday Letters from Balzer to
CrichtOn We're read. Their general tenor
was that Rosebrock wanted the actual
state OF affairs kept from the directors,
stockholders and bankers, as they
wanted to continue the business. to
sell more stock and keep on borrowing
money. One letter tells Crichton to
make the books show profits as large
as possible. A bogus dividend was de-
clared and paid in order to sell stock.
In another he is instructed to learn the
letters by heart and then destroy them.
This correspondence was in Blazers
handwriting. It was too important to
trust to stenographers. The letters were
always addressed to Mrs. G. B. Crichton
and registered. Crichton had a standing
order to have his wife's registered let
tiers delivered to him at the postof1ce.
IN one of the letters it is suggested
that Crichton might sometimes in an
effhand manner account for his wife
getting so many registered letters by
saying that she was the executrix of
an estate in the east. Crichtons exam
ination occupied all day. The trial was
then adjourned to Wednesday morning.

CUTOFF FROM DOGGETT

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 18.-Un-
der the expansive policy of President
Ripley. the Santa Fe has begun to
forge ahead with its many new pro-
jects and is now trying to improve the
main line. The route in Arizona is the
center of attraction. The company
has under process of construction a
cut of from Daggett. on the main line
to Wickenburg. The line is commonly
known to be under the control OF the
Santa Fe. When this line is COM
pleted many miles will be saved and
the service will be greatly improved.
The Santa Fe is also considering the
construction Of line from Silver City,
N. M. to Winkleman, A. T. This will
give the trains on the main line Of the
Santa F'e an opportunity to go around
some Of the worst tunnels and grades
on the road~and would not make any
material difference in the mileage BY
so doing it would pave the way for
through route over the Santa Fe to
Galveston.

NEW BUSINESS FOR RAILWAYS.
Store Cars With Tempting Bargains
VIII FOLLOW GANGS of Laborers.

Newton. Kan. Sept. 1s.@The coun-
try merchant who has been supplying
the large gangs of Mexican laborers
with their necessities, will read with
disgust that the railway company is
preparing to now handle this bust -ess.
A number of freight cars are being
fitted out with stocks of general goods
necessary, or appealing to the Mexi-
cans comfort and appetite, and a car
in charge Of a storekeeper will soon
travel with each large gang of Mexi-
can laborers employed by the railway
company. A wholesale house has been
established at Newton in charge of D.
F. HeiVly to supply the store cars of
which there are five near Newton.
The idea is similar to the train boys
service to passengers. which is now
operated by the railway and is believed
that the company's travelling stores
will be profitable.
The Mexicans are boarded and
bunked in long strings of old freight
cars that are left on blind sidings for
weeks often remote from supplies of
merchandise and food.
