KNEISLER OBJECTS.
Sues Out Writ of Habeas Corpus to
Prevent Return to Topeka.

On a charge of being a fugitive from
| Justice, Robert Kneisler, a former To-
peka jointist and agent for the Val
Blatz Brewing company, was arrested
in saloon in Kansas City, Mo, yester-
day by ]. NJ. Wilkerson, the sheriff.
Within a few hours after his arrest pro-
ceedings were begun in his behalf by
agents of the Val Blatz company to get
him out of the tolls on habeas corpus.
They were successful to the extent that
Kneisler was given his liberty under
$1,000 bail and a hearing of the case was
set for Tuesday of next week
Before that date arrives Sheriff Will
kerson will have secured requisition pa
pers from Governor Hoch on the COVER
nor of Missouri for the extradition of
kneisler from that state. There is lit
tie doubt in the sheriff mind that these
papers will be honored by the governor
of Missouri and that before another
week has past Kneisler will be in the
custody of Shawnee county authorities
There are a couple OF charges pending
now in this county against Kneisler.
One is that of breaking from the custod V
of a peace officer. When his place was
rai6ed the last time by the police under
instructions from the sheriff Kneisler
was placed under arrest by Policeman
E L. Walker. While the officers were
cleaning out the place, Kneisler walked
out of the building and made his escane
An additional warrant charging him
with breaking from the CUSTODY of an
officer was sworn out against him.
Since his escape Sheriff Wilkerson
who has the good reputation of never
giving up when he gets after anv ner
son charged with crime has been on
KneiSler'S trail. He came near catcbino
him a few weeks ago at FxcaIsioT
Springs. A private detective agency IN
Kansas City, Mo. which does work for
Sheriff Wilkerson, located KneisIer in
that city communicated with the sheriff
and Mr.. wiIkerson went there YESTERDAY
and had little trouble in bagginr his
game. Kneisler was arrested as he sat

TO PROSECUTE STRIKERS
Western Union Is Threatening to
Cause Arrests to Be Made.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Criminal prose-
cution of railroad telegraph operators,
who, out of sympathy with the strik-
ing commercial men. are causing trou-
BILE on the wires. is threatened by Off
ciais of the telegraph companies. The
Western Union company, which is the
greatest sufferer in this respect, has
been secretly conducting an inVestiga-
ton. and a number of arrests are ex-
pected at any time.
Superintendent T. P. Cook of the
Western Union company declared that
detective would be placed in every
Office in the country. If the interfer-
ence with the wires assumed such pro-
portions as to make that course neces-
Sary. The Western Union controls the
wires on practically every railroad in
the country. and it's commercial bust
ness, in many instances. goes through
the railroad offices. Since the begin
ming of the strike it is said that trouble
with the wires has caused more incon-
venience than has the lack of opera
tors.
Strikers Deny Guilt.
At the union headquarters the strike
leaders disclaimed responsibility for
the trouble. There is more or less
wire trouble under the most favorable
conditions said Secretary Wesley
Russell. THE Western Union ordi-
men in the Chicago office whose bust
ness it is to look out for wire trouble.
Since the strike was called three or
four men are trying to do the work.
Many of the test offices are closed by
reason of the strike. which further
complicates matters.
1--WE have issued orders to our mem
bers not to NEEDLE with the wires in
any way, and the officers of the Order
of Railroad Telegraphers have issued
similar orders to their members. Il
may be that here and there an operator
will tamper with the wires. That hap
pens when there is no strike. But so
Tar as we are concerned we are not
conducting our strike along those lines.

in a saloon on East Fourteenth street
talking with Sylvan Klein, also a for
meT Topeka jointist. He protested Wig
orously against his arrest but to no avail
and he delivered himself of a rather
vitriolic speech on Kansas and Topeka.
In addition to giving Kansas a general
cussing he said that he had sold $4,000
of property for $4,000 and had some more
property that he would sell at the same
ratio to it's value. II hate the state, and
the people in it," was the conclusion Of
his diatribe.
1t is said that as soon as the papers
in the case can be made out complaint
will be filed by the county officials
charging Kneisler with the violation of
the prohibitory law on as many as $50
counts If he should be convicted on all
these counts he would face a minimum
tail sentence of more than twelve years
and have to pay fine of $4,000.

We can win without resorting to such
tactics"
Postal Has No Trouble.
The wires of the Postal company do
not run along the railroads, except on
the Santa Fe and the Pennsylvania
lines. On the former railroad, the tele
graphers are not organized. Superfn-
tendent Capen of the Postal company
said he was not having any trouble
with the wires. On the Rock Island and
other railroads, within the past few
days, the wires have in some mystert-
Gus manner gone out of commission
when important business was in the
course of transmission. In many of the
railroad station the wires Of the West
ern Union company are "cut through,
but in others, the pulling of plug VIII
put a wire out of commission.
Several strikers returned to Work Tor
the Postal company yesterday, accord
ing to Superintendent Capen, and he
said that a large force of operators
from the east arrived here last night.
Reports from New York last night
said there did not appear to be any
prospects of a settlement of the strike,
as the telegraph officials maintain their
attitude of refusal to meet any COM
mittee of their former employees. Dis
patches from Butte, Mont, showed that
the poolroom operators in that city and
Helena walked out yesterday, refusing
to take racing reports from nonunion
operators in Seattle.

AS predicted. the wrong side" craze
is dying out. Only four arrests have
been made on this offense since last
the box score was printed. The "anti-
spit n-the-sidewalk' ordinance is the
next in line. In the meantime. Such
little pleasantries as a fist-f1ght on
Kansas avenue. which lasted 20 min
utes without interruption by the police,
and was finally stopped by business
men who didn't like the gathering of
a crowd, goes merrily on. The police
man can not be blamed. because he is
acting under orders and chasing some
unsuspecting countryman who has in
advertently driven the wrong side.
Last evening, a policeman acting I'M
der orders arrested several persons for
DRIVING on the wrong side. These were
not booked, as they CHANGED to be in
fiuential citizens. The last catch of
the afternoon was an old man who
had only 35 cents in his pocket He
was booked all right. and he had to go
out and borrow a dollar to add to the
city numismatic collection before he
was permitted to go his way.
