SUPPRESSED THE FACTS.
Police Adopt Antique Method of
Catching Burglar.

The Paxton & Paxton store at Sixth
and Quincy streets was burglariZed
some time last Friday night, and the
robbers-evidently three of them-car-
ried off about 500 worth of merchan-
disc each, or $500 worth. An entrance
was effected to the building by knock
ing in a window on the north side.
Among the things stolen were several
pairs of shoes, a number of women's
skirts, several suits of mems clothing
and a lot of cigars The proprietors of
the store estimate that about wagon
load of stuff was carried out by the
thieves, who were either heavy laden or
made several trips
The theft was carefully concealed by
the police, On the theory that they
might catch the robbers before letting
the. matter become public. This is an
antique notion to which police in gen.
eral are subject They seem to think
that when the facts of a robbery are
not published, the thief will be chump
enough to believe that his crime has
not been discovered The police have
had three days of secrecy to work on,
but without results. No arrests have
been made, and the robbers removed
all Clues to their identity.

The above is a list of Masons who
at the Masonic temple this evening
will be given the thirty-third degree;
the highest degrees in the rites of Ma
sorry.
1t used to be the case that Masons
were required to go to Washington to
take the 3Sd degree. Now, however
where the degree may be conferred
once every two years. Topeka is the
distributing point" for this section
of the country.
The meeting tonight is called PRO
vfs1onal supreme council of 33d degree
Masons.'' Those upon whom the 33d
degree will be conferred have hereto
fore been elected to receive it by the
supreme council. Taking the 33d de-
gree in Masonry is not a matter en-
of that body. Only those designated
by the supreme council are eligible.
The comforting of the 33d degree to-
night will be in charge of Thomas
Wentworth Harrison, 33d, the active

will be served in the banquet hall Of
the temple, by the Topeka bodies of
the Scottish Rite, to the newly created
brethren of this exalted degree, and to
the visiting SD degree members. The
SD degree is limited in numbers, based
upon the growth of the Scottish Rite
in each state, and is bestowed only for
exceptional merit and zeal in that rite.
1t is expected that 30 members of that
degree will be present and assist in the
work and sit down at the banquet
The comforting of the 33d degree oc-
ours only once in each two years, and
it is one of the most notable land
marks in Scottish Rite Masonry.

BILE candidate for governor on the Dem
ocratic ticket. 80

MUST HELP HERSELF.
IF Nevada Would Get Any Help From
Washington.


Washington. Dec. 23.-The appeals to
President Roosevelt to have federal
troops remain in Goldfeld, in the opin-
ion of White House officials, indicate a
desire on the part of those sending
them TO rely solely on the national gov
eminent for protection. The position
the president has taken in the matter
is that the state of Nevada should ex-
ercise every means within its power to
control the situation and that FEDERAL
interference should be supplemental to
the efforts being made by the state.
Nothing in the appeals, so FAR re-
ceived, indicate that any steps what
ever are being taken by the state IN
III this is shown to the president. it
was stated at the White House today,
his order of Saturday Withdrawing the
troops on December 80 will not be

ROOsEVELT's PLATNNEss

The American Magazine for March
presents remarkable article on
President Roosevelt Here is one
of the stories told:
President Roosevelt never is at
pains to conceal an opinion Last
winter a man engaged in some shady
transaction out west asked his sena-
tor to take him around to the White
House to see the president. 1 don t
think you'll like the interview said
the senator Never mind, I'll chance
it, said the man. He was taken in
and introduced. The president glanc-
ed at him, moved impatiently while
he talked, interrupted him in way
that showed vast contempt. Final
ly the suitor exclaimed: Mr.. Presi-
dent, you treat me as if you thought
was q thief There was no hesita-
tion in the reply. Thrusting his head
forward and separating his words
in the manner peculiar to him when
he wishes to be highly emphatic, the
president said: Now-that-you-
n--it-I-think- k-you-are.'
yet he manages to drag out OF a
good many people information that
he bolts and digests with amazing
rapidity. He is always in tremen-
dous hurry TO find out all you know
that is worth knowing and then to
impart, no, to shell you with what he
thinks about it. His Yes, yes, yes,
see, / see, very good, sounds possi-
bly,. more impatient than it is. When
your diffident monologue is ended he
comes closer to you and begins: L
see, | see quite plainly what you
mean. And that is perfectly true.
Perfectly true. But wish to say.
And after that the delgue. l don't
want to indicate that it is deluge of
mere, unreasonable sound 1t never
is"

DID BLAINE BREAK
FAITH WITH GARFIELD?

One of the features of Ida M. Tar
bells tariff article in the March
American Magazine, is a story which
presents certain aspects of James G..
Blaine's veracity. 1t comes in as
part of Miss Tarbell's lively narrative
of the fgst in Grants time between
high protectionists and tariff reform
ers, over the reduction of war duties.
Following are some of the men and
events, referred to- in Miss Tarbell's
spirited article: Horace Greeley,
Sunset" Cox. Horace White, Henry
cRCarey, David A. Wells, "Pigiron''
Kelley, Senator Allison, Carl Schurz.
John Sherman, the salt MONOPOLY.
the fortunes made in iron, the ironi-
cal nomination of Greeley, protec-
tion's great victory in congress, and
the panic of '73.
In 1870 Mr.. Blaine was a candi-
date for reelection as speaker. I'm
less he could appease the tariff re-
formers there was danger of their
uniting with the democrats to defeat
him. Accordingly he asked the four
most influential reformers to meet
him secretly in New York. The four
were William B. Allison, Horace
White, Charles Nordhoff, and GEN
eral Brinkerhoff. There was a long
discussion, ending in proposition
from Mr.. Blaine that If the reformers
would permit him to be reelected
speaker he would permit them to
name the chairman of the ways and
means committee, and give them a
majority on it. The proposition was
accepted, and Mr.. Blaine was asked
% appoint Mr.. Garfield.
There was no reason to suppose
that Mr.. Blaine would not keep his
Perth Amboy evening news., 1907-03-15

promise. Nevertheless the suspicion
that he was slippery in politics
was not uncommon, and the free
tlade league concluded to send Gen
eral Brinkerhoff to Washington to
see that the arrangement was carried
out.
The rest of the story is told as fol-
lows by Miss Tarbeil:
"As the days went on and the ap-
pointments promised were not made
General Brinkerhoff felt more and
more uneasy, but said nothing. FL
nally one day as he was on the floor
of the house, Mr.. Blaine sent page
to him asking him for an interview.
He then called some one to the
chair says General Brinkerhoff, and
as he went out of the south door
went out of the north door, and went
around and met him. He took me
down to the basement and into a
room he called his den. Then he
locked the door and went to a cup
board and brought out some refresh
ments, and we sat down at a little
table.
After awhile he told me he
wanted to talk with me about the
ways and means committee. He took
slip of paper from drawer and
wrote down nine names and then
turned it around to me to read. |
saw that he kept his finger on the
paper and that he did not intend to
let me take it away, and so / took a
little time to study it's make up, and
get it clearly in my memory. | saw
at a glance that he was not carving
out his agreement, because Dawes
was at the head as chairman, and not
Garfield. ! saw also as | looked over
the list that majority of the COM
mittee were revenue reform men, al
though it was a combination calcu-
lated to deceive any one not fully
posted on individual records.
There were only. four men on his
list who were not protectionists, and
after discussing the matter a while.
he said, This is not finality by any
means, it is simply tentative and I
will make the committee so that it
will be satisfactory He repeated the
word tentative two OF, three tines
but l made up my mind at once that a
ways and means committee satisfac-
tory to the revenue reform people
would never be made by Mr.. Blaine,
and so we parted after an hours talk
with the understanding that he
would see me again soon.
THAT evening General Brinkerhoff
met Garfield by appointment You
are not to be chairman of the ways
and means committee, he told him.
The protectionists will be In ma
jority on it.
You are wrong Garfield said,
Mr.. Blaine has already written me
assuring me of my appointment
Let me see the letter. said the
general. Garfield's face fell. He
had not the letter. Mr.. Blaine had
asked that It be returned because life
was uncertain. You will not be an
pointed, General Brinkerhoff reit-
Grated. Garfield walked the floor for
few minutes, and then stopping.
said: General Brinkerhoff, if Mr.
Blaine does not appoint me chairman
of the ways and means committee he
is the basest of men, He was mot ap-
pointed, but few days later Mr..
Dawes was.
