In receiving the news from outside of
Topeka today into the State Journal

essary, the regular Associated Press op-
orator, Geo W. Hart, having gone out

A portion of the markets and num-
Der of news items have come over the

City today before it did into Topeka
The service for the State Journal came

Joseph to Omaha and Denver and from
st. Joseph to Topeka, Wichita and Ok
lahoma City. Later Lincoln, Neb., was
added.
At Topeka shortly after II o'clock
Mr. w c. Carswell, the manager of
the Western Union at Topeka, began
taking the Associated Press report for
the State Journal and has continued
at the key and the typewriter during
the afternoon. Mr.. Carswell has been
on duty at his office for eighty-two
hours, except fifteen minutes in which
he visited his family this morning.
He eats and sleeps in the office. Last
night he slept from 1:5U until

first rate today and am in better shape
than ever to take care of business. I
have been an operator for twenty
seven years. This is about the fastest
life 1 have ever been obliged to lead.
1 have been assaulted but not killed,
and am glad that I am still able to
be on duty. I opened our North To-
peka branch office today with a strike
breaker" Mr.. CarsweIl has only ono

RINGLEADERS TAKEN.
Confessions Obtained Which Will
Break Up Armenian Murder Society.

IBy Bell Phone from Associated Press, Kan
sas City.1
New York, Aug. 13--District Attorney
Jerome announces that the detective
bureau has arrested the ring leaders,
Hunchakist Secret society and obtained
confessions from them which will end
the existence of the organization. Kas
SEX Jelallain, arrested Sunday night,
confessed to Mr.. Jerome last night af-
ter an examination which lasted more
than six hours, that 1T was ne who di-
rected the murder of Father Kasher
Vartain whose body was cut to pieces,
and the wealthy rug merchant, Tavsha-
maian, killed as he was entering his
office in Union Square. He further de-
clared, it is said, that he stood by while
Bedros Haszoonian waited for the COM
ing of the victim and pointed out the
doomed man.
1t is given out by Detective Tetrosino,
who has had the actual investigation in
charge, that Father Haitonguesnian,
who has been under arrest in connec-
ton with the murders. is not directly
connected with the society, though he
is believed to have known great deal
of its inner workings. Lieutenant
Petros, now of ne New York detective
department. recently encountered in
Boston an Armenian named HanoOjian
who offered his services.
Hanoojian furnished information
enabling Petrosino TO send a wire to
this city that resulted in the arrest of
Borhas AIliopunerjian. The police
searched the building where he lived
and in the cellar under coal heap
protected by boards they found a
number of poisoned daggers. several
small bombs and a quantity of poison
ed bullets, revolvers and a number of
large bottle of hydrocyanic acid and
sulphate of ammonia as well as chem
lists scales, bullet moulds and cleo
trio apparatus of various kinds. Taken
to police headquarters the man brok
down and confessed. He confirmed
the police say, what they had already
suspected that Kassak Jelalian was
the head and front of the society.

CAN'T FINISH 1T THIS YEAR.
Delay Will Make Construction of South
Side Paving Impossible Now.

Delay in paving operations, due first
to the late letting of bids and finally
a failure on the part of the main paw
ing contractor to commence work will
throw the construction of so per cent of
the paving over to next year.
1t is probable that the city will have
paving let this summer drag through
until next spring before it is finally
completed. The statement is made by
contractors that the contracts in North
Topeka will be the only ones to be
completed before the first of January.
Ih1s means that four and one-half
months will be used up in paving North
Kansas avenue and Central avenue.
Brick are now being delivered by the
Capital City company for John Ritchie
for paving on North Kansas avenue
from Gordon street to Garfield park.
The grading is all completed.
Forty tons of asphalt have been used
as filler in the repaving of North
Kansas avenue from the Melan bridge
to Gordon street. This contract was let
to Haskins and Ramsey and the work
here is being pushed along rapidly.

dering a general strike if their de-
mands were not granted by the COM
panies- The returns are not all in, but
Secretary Russell said that the vote
was practically unanimous for a strike
if the demands of the operators were
not granted.
How They Went Out.
The strike of the Associated Press
operators was made against the
wishes and advice of Mr.. RusseIl
grand secretary of the telegraphers.
union, who tried to keep the men at
work for another twenty-four hours
or until satisfactory arrangements
could be made for a conference he
ager of the Associated Press, and a
committee of the operators.
Mr.. Stone addressed a message to
the operators that he would see what
he could do about getting the matter
before the directors by wire today.
The operators south of Louisville an
nounced that unless messages to the
directors from Mr.. Stone went over
the wire before 1880 they would leave.
They also sent a message to Mr.. Stone
saying that they wanted to know what
recommends dations would be made to
the directors before they consented to
wait for another twenty-four hours
Promptly at 1880 o'clock a message
was received in the Chicago office
from Louisville saying, Goodnight,
we're OUT
The operator in charge of the oper-
ating room in Kansas City as soon as
he received the message sent a strike
signal over the wires.
The shutting down of the wires pre-
vented the situation in other offices
than Chicago being known for a time.
As soon as communication was estab-
lished. however, it was apparent thai
the strike had not by any means been
unanimous The offices at st. Joseph,
Mo-, Indianapolis and at Milwaukee
responded at the first call with all of
their men ready for duty, and it was
declared that both Cleveland and De-
troit were still on duty.
One man, E. c. Fable. operator for the
night report was on duty at Topeka.
Today Topeka, Wichita, Oklahoma
City, Denver and Omaha were added to
the western points receiving Associated
Press report over the telegraph wires.
Later Lincoln. Nebraska. came in.
This dispatch was sent out:
THE men who have stood by the
service in this emergency will receive
their salaries and will be paid extra
for the time served as a bonus until
further notice. Extra men will be paid |
