GOT SAFELY AWAY
Preacher Smith Starts Lively
Time Last Night.
Collected an Assessment From
County Candidates.
WOULDN'T GIVE IT UP.
Church Board Demanded Funds
Be Turned Over.
Refused and Was Pursued to
Own Home.

There is a funny side even to the
local political situation. A few choice
spectators, mostly candidates, we're
treated to a side-spIitting comedy in
North Topeka last night, which cost
them from S1.5O to 81 per seat. but
was worth the money.
Not long ago the several candidates
for the several county offices saw an
advertisement in the paper which is
famous for the number of Mail and
Breeze advertisements it prints This
advertisement requested them to meet
with the colored voters of North To-
peka at the Asbury African Methodist
church. OF course the candidates cut
the glove contest and other attractions
of the evening to meet with the coll
ored voters.
Rev. J. D. Smith, pastor of the fold,
was there and appointed himself
chairman. He announced that the
candidates would be permitted to talk
in turn, and then make a contribu-
ton. They talked-mostly to them
selves, as they were in the majority
and donated from $3.50 to 81 each.
Then Rev. Mr.. Smith closed the meet
ing, with the announcement that they
would meet again next Thursday
night, when the candidates would be
permitted to contribute 81 each and
speak some more. He also thanked
them kindly for the contribution of
$3.50 which he had received.
The candidates (and all of them ex-
cept John Wilkerson were presenO
were cOnvulsed with mirth over the
crude gOld-brick scheme of the Rev.
Mr.. Smith, but not so with the cOlOred
men who constituted the board of
church trustees They arose in d body
and requested Mr.. Smith to deliver the
$3.50 to the church treasurer. The
man of God declined, haughtily and
Vehemently. He said that it WAS not
church money, and he had no right
to give it up Deputy Marshal Lam
bersOn. a member Of the church board,
collared Mr. Smith and ordered him
to disgorge. Still the purvey0r OF
gospel refused, and the board drew
aside to confer. The conference was
never ended. Seeing his way clear for
the instant Mr.. Smith took a hop
skfp-and-jump for the back door,
which he struck with such force that
he broke the lock, and fed into the
stilly night. At his heels came Deputy
LambersOn, and the rest of the board
executed a flank movement to head
off the fleeing divine. But the high
speed of Rev. Smith was not checked
until he reached his own domlclle a
few doors away, and locked the door
behind him The board hammered on
his portal and threatened to have him
arrested for obtaining money under
false pretenses. but he went to bed and
needed them not.
A few of the candidates, who had
paused to see the fun. went their way
confident that they had received their
moneys worth. and the red-hot board
of church trustees foamed away IN q
cloud of dire threats
It seems that this Mr. Smith, having
been semiohiciaIly dismissed by his
church needed money to leave town,
and instituted his little vaudeville to
raise the price.

House judiciary Committee Takes Up
Federal Control of Insurance.

Washington, Feb. 9-Acting under in
struction of the house the judiciary
committee today began an investigation
in order that it may report whether OF
not congress has the power to provide
federal control of insurance. That this
authority does exist was maintained by
r. W. Breckenridge of Omaha. Neb-
chairman of the insurance committee
of the American Bar association
The opposite view Of the question was
presented to the committee by George e.
Whitlock of Baltimore. Fhe Bar as
soeiation by a vote of 113 to % sent to
its insurance committee for considera-
ton d resolution declaring federal in
surance control illegal and unconsttu-
tional under the decisions of the su-
preme court of the United States Mr..
Whitlock was the author of that resoln-
ton and presented that view today. Mr..
Breckenridge presented statistics show
ing that the insurance business was na-
tional and not local in character. OF 20
of the largest insurance companies, he
said, but Is per cent of their business
was done in the states wherein they
were chartered.

Illinois Coal Operators Adopt Commit
tee Report on Miners Demands

Chicago, Feb. AT a meeting Of
the Illinois coal operators which was
held today at the Auditorium hotel it
was decided by a unanimous vote to
refuse the demands made by the
United Mine Workers of America.
The meeting was executive in char
acter and was attended by 200 coal
operators from all over the state. The
report of the national scale commit
tee was approved without a dissenting
vote The report covered the con-
ference recently held in Indianapolis
between the coal operators and the
representatives of the United Mine
Workers. The decision to refuse the
demands of the miners was reached
in a few minutes after the reading of
the report had been finished.
At the close of the convention the
following statement was given out:
1.-The Illinois Coal Operators asso-
citation received the report of its ex-
ecutive committee and approved its
action in refusing to acceed to the
demand made on the operators by the
Mine workers of America"
No other business than the approval
of the report came before the meet
ing and the question of whether or
not the mines would be operated with
nonunion men in the event Of a strike
on April 1 was not discussed.

WANTS A CONVENTION.
Boss stubbs Doesn't Want That
Abolished.

81 am getting a heavy mail now
adays from all parts of the state, and
the sentiment seems to be strongly in
favor of a state primary of some sort,
said w R Stubbs, chairman of the
state central committee today Mr.
Stubbs came in at noon, and is talking
with his political friends in the city
1T is my opinion" continued Mr..
Stubbs, that it would not be wise to
hold a state primary for the election
of a state ticket without also holding
q state convention. The convention
should not be omitted. It should meet
and pass resolutions, adopt a platform,
ratify the result of the primary and do
whatever else might be necessary.
'sAs far as the cost Of a primary is
it would not be an obstacle
in the way of holding the primary. At
least that seems to be the general
sentiment of the people who have writ
ten to me- They think that the state
primary can be held at the same time
with the county primary, and the ex-
pense be paid by the county. l GER
tainIy don't think it would be right to
make the candidates for state Offices
paw the whole thing. That would be
too much of a tax.

FROST ON THE WINDOWS.
Mercury Dropped to Eight Degrees

Just a trace Of frost on the window
fronts of the stores on the side of KAN

does not shine, is all that there is to-
day to remind one that today is a mid
winter day instead of a day in June.

look at the calendar one might We'll

the temperature.
The mercury stood at eight above zero

There is a meeting Of the Second dis

George w. LittIck. Mr. Littick is a
member of the committee from Wyan-

his opponent, Henry J. Allen, are both
expected to be present
Mr.. Littick says in an interview:
THE race between Allen and Scott is
so close that it is not safe to predict
which candidate viii control the pro-
ceedings. I believe that Scott viii con-
troll and I favor Scott rather than
Allen
Mr.. Allen told me recently that he
and Mr.. Scott had agreed on the man
ner of holding the primaries: that the
primaries in each county are to be con-
Quoted under the supervision of the
congressional committeeman in that
county. I am supporting the candi-
dacy of E. A. Enright of Wyandotte
county for congress-.
The friends of Henry Allen in Wyan-
dotte county say that Enright is run
ming in the interest OF Scott.

considering the urgent deficiency bill,

Tt was 1857 Topeka time when the
moon began to show signs Of weaken
