THOMAS is IN DEEP WATER.
Costs in Case Taxed to Him and May
Be Arrested, Too.

It appears that A. M. Thomas, negro
lawyer, has put his foot in it, 1t is
probable that this Senegambian ex-
FOUNDER of Blackstone may be prose-
cuted on a charge of Compromising a
felony
The disturbance has arisen over the
peculiar methods used by. the negro
lawyer in collecting money. About a
year ago, Thomas loaned $50 to a labor
Ter named Lon Fleming, tpawnbroker' S
tinterest-10 per cent per month. AS
security Fleming mentioned a mule and
harness which he was alleged to have
owned A month ago E; N. Miller
gave as security, then Thomas hunted
up Fleming, who was in Kansas City,
and had him arrested for obtaining
money under false pretense. The vic
tim was taken away from his wife and
four children, who were left destitute,
and locked up in Jail at Topeka This
occurred November %, and his trial has
been put off from time to time. The
case was taken by Judge Joseph Reed,
as a matter Of charity to the family of
the prisoner. When Jennings trial
came up last Saturday Judge Reed
proved that Thomas had entered into
an agreement with the prisoner to Sc
over all his personal effects. It is
claimed that Thomas violated this
agreement when he found out that the
costs would exceed the valuation Of the
ecanty property of the defendant
1t was also shown in the trial that
the money loaned belonged to w. e.
Seguine, q thigh rate loan agent, and
that Thomas was therefore no loser,
and was simply working a collection
scheme for Seguine. Therefore Flem-
ing was discharged, and the costs Of
the case taxed to Thomas, the prosecut-
ing witness.
County Attorney Schenck states that
he refused a complaint in the case at

Despite the inclement weather of
Saturday afternoon over one hundred
and twenty-five guests were entertain
ed in the home of Mrs George w.
Parkhurst, the mecca of our classic
music lovers. The object of the oc-
casiOn was to afford to the friends and
admirers of Miss Grace Keefer an OPP
portunity to hear her in song recital.
Miss Keefer gave her programme with
an ease and grace which delighted her
hearers, not the least charms of her
voice being the precision of her exc
cution and the distinctness of her
enunciation. The company was usher
ed into the music room on the third
floor by Miss Keefer's fellow members
of the Crescendo club, who also served
punch in the reception hall on tn e
second floor after the programme.
While Miss Keefer is one of Topeka's
youngest vocalists and but a two-year
pupil of Mrs. Parkhurst, her pro-
gramme included la Serenataf' by
Tosti, which Melba sang here. In
"Lakmc'' by L. DeIibes, the pure lyric
quality of Miss Keefers vioce easily
reached the high sc" fiat and rem
dered its difficult cadenza with a brill
nancy and ease which brought forth
a irresistible encore and many express
Slons of admiration. 1t is only fair to
Topeka's standard of music and Miss
Keefer to mention that the cadenza in
Lakme' is an accepted test for five
year pupils in eastern Conservatives,
including New York'S, and that nor
more than five of our American prime
dennas render it successfully. Miss
keefer introduced several new songs
among them group of Salter num-
bers and "Shena Van" by Beach,
HUM and Springs Approach" by
Halle. The varied range of the pro-
CRANE furnished ample field for q
voice of sweet. birdlike quality, and
Topeka is glad to recognize Miss
Keefer as belonging to her coterie Of
accepted soloists. The duet by Mrs.
Parkhurst and Miss Keefer was espe-
cially pleasing and heartily applauded.
For encore Miss Frizell gave "Fruh-
lingsrauschen" by Sinding, and Miss
Doster appeared the second time and
played "Badine," also by Gabriel
Marie. Miss Wilcox was accompanist
for Miss Doster and Mrs. Robert d.
Carver played the other accompani-
ments.
