A Valuable CataIog

The catalog explains how, after you have
thoroughly tested the machine, If you do
not want it you can return it at the ex-
pensc Of the Edison distributors. On the
other hand, il you should want this King
Of Entertainers, and l know you will, you
can pay in full or on easy payments. You
suit yourself about that, for there is no
difference in the price. Cash customers
are not given any discount because there
is only one price for the Edison-a rock
bottom figure, below which the Edison Is
not allowed to go.

FORAKER CLEARS THEM.
Declares Negro soldiers GuiltIess OF
Shooting Up Brownsville.

Washington, June Ex-senator For
| aker, of Ohio, has given out writer
statement summing up the testimony
taken by the senate committee on mill
tary affairs in the Brownsville inquiry
declaring that it fails to show that any
soldier took part in the ARRAY. The
statement which the senator says ne
makes a plain duty to the truth as
well as to the accused soldiers" ano
because he is more familiar with the
testimony than anybody else" is an
answer to a published statement that
the testimony conclusively showed the
soldiers of the Twenty-f1fth battaHon
did the shooting
Mr.. Foraker says:
THE testimony given by the soldiers
in their own behalf is not, in my opln-
ion, shaken by the testimony given by
the citizens of Brownsville. No import
ant item of new evidence has been
brought forward against the soldiers IN
what the citizens have testified about
had relation to matters over which
there was no controversy. For instance
everybody comedies that the town was
shot up; that somebody did it; that
those who did it passed through the
streets and alleys where the shooting
was done and that they had guns OF
revolvers or firearms of some sort ana
that one man was killed and another
wounded. The only dispute is as to
whether the raiders were identlheo as
soldiers of the garrison.
There are two kinds of evidence re-
lied upon to show the soldiers did It,
One consists of shells and bullets that
were secured from the streets ana
houses of Brownsville. The results OF
microscopic inspection interpreted IN
the light of the other testimony In the
case completely disposed of this part
of the case. The only other testimony
is that of people who claim to have
been eyewitnesses to the shooting. rms
consists of various people declaring that
when they heard the firing they looked
out of their windows and houses and
down dark alleys, where there We're no
lights a distances varying all the way
from go feet up to $50 feet, and recog-
nized the men who were doing the fir
ing as negroes wearing the uniforms
of United States soldiers the officers
Of the battalion have testified generally
and specifically as to the darkness OF
the night. According to the testimony
III the language of Major Penrose, the
night was so dark that he could not
distinguish one of his officers, who We're
all white men, from one of. the enlisted
men, who were all colored, at distance
of ten feet nor could he at that dis
tance tell anything about how man
was dressed. - ~ - So
"All these officers, have testified the
claims of the citizens who testified they
saw the raiders and recognized them
as soldiers at the distances and under
the circumstances stated BY them are
utterly impossible. At one time, when
the case was only partially investigated,
they were of the opinion and frankly
stated it that their men were. guilty,
but that fact only strengthened their
testimony as they now give it that the
testimony of the citizen by which they
claim to identify their soldiers is utter
ly unreliable, untrustWoTthy and by
them unbelieVa ble.3

NOT A CASE OF BIGANlY.
Garden City Man Proves a Topeka
Woman Was Not Second Wife.


Garden City. June 1S.-John
Fink. alias John A. Fink, alleged
to be the husband of more wives
than the Kansas statutes allow, was
acquitted of the charge of bigamy in
district court Monday afternoon. The
jury was given the case at noon and
the members were out only about two
hours when they arrived at a verdict.
Eva Keffer Fink, who brought the
case, and Angelina Fink, who claims
she married the defendant in 1905,
were both in the court room when the
verdict was announced. After the
announcement they walked through
the district clerks office and went up
the street together.
Eva Keffer Fink married in Garden
City last summer. Late in the fall he
left and she learned of another al
legged wife. She had him arrested on
a bigamy charge and after his arrest
a number of alleged wives of Fink
were reported,
In the case yesterday, the efforts of
the defense were centered on dis
crediting the testimony of Angelina
Fink of Topeka who was the principal
witness for the state. Fink claimed
he had not married Angelina Fink
and called her by other names than
Fink.
The prosecution was represented by
County Attorney Roberts and Brown
& Brown. The defense was represent
ed by Albert Hoskins and r. E.
Stotts. This was Mr.. Stotts' first case
and he was admitted by the court to
practice in this one case.

was an old one and run down and
turning it over to his successor in first
class shape. Shortly after Mr.. Maun-
sell left the Edison company he Or
ganized the Topeka Electrical COM
pany composed almost entirely of To-
cal capitalists and secured a fran
chise from the city and commenced
construction work on their plant.
A strange fatality seems to have
followed the organization of the COM
pany, and three of the prime movers
have died within less than year.
David Overmyer. the attorney and a
stakeholder in the company, died sud
lowed by Warren NJ. Crosby, who died
suddenly while on a pleasure trip on
the Atlantic, followed by Mr.. Maun-
sells death yesterday.
With the death of Mr.. Overmyer
and Mr.. Crosby and the serious ILL
ness of Mr.. MaunseI the project of a
new light plant was abandoned though
the city council owing to the existing
conditions returned the forfeit money
which was put up as a guarantee that
the plant would be built to Mr.. Maun-
sell.
About two years ago Mr. Maunsen
completed a handsome home on Lin
coin street designed after the plans
which had been carefully prepared by
himself and wife and had hardly set
the disease which resulted in their
deaths within two years. Mr.. Maun-
sell was well known in the city, being
a member of the Elks, Orient lodge
number 81 A. F. and A M. the
Knights Templar and A. Q. U. w.
Mr.. Maunsell leaves a brother in
this city and four sisters, Mrs. Wake

Los Angeles; Mrs George Johnson of
Baltimore, and Mrs. Charles Brands
of Chicago. 1t is expected that the
body will pass through Topeka today
on the way to Chicago where the
funeral will be held Thursday

BANK ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Redfeld Raiders of April IA Captured
at Bolivar, Mo.

Fort Scott, June 1S.-A special re-
ceived by the Tribune indicates that
the bandits who, the 14th of last April,
blew up the Redfield bank, have been
captured at Bolivar, Mo. There are
four in the party and a complete con-
fession has been obtained from one
of the quartette. They will be re-
turned here within a few days and
tried for their crime.
The public had almost forgotten the
Redfield robbery though it was one of
the most atrocious ever perpetrated in
the state. The robbers robbed the
bank by blowing open the safe,
though they did not get any money to
speak of. Before leaving Redfield
they broke into Bolinger's hardware
store and stole several guns and re-
voIvers. The Glover livery barn was
also visited by them, where they stole
a horse and buggy The rig was later
found down near Hiattville, where it
had been left in pasture by the
fleeing criminals. The officers search
ed diligently on this case. but the men
had too great a start.
The four men were arrested
couple of days ago on suspicion and
one of them later weakened and wrote
a confession. telling everything of the
robbery. He told where the guns were
hid and his story TALES with the facts
in the case and the weapons were
later found where he states they were
left

C. R. MAUNSELL DEAD.
Former superintendent of Edison
Company Passes Away in Denver.

A telegram received late Monday
afternoon by E. P. Jordan contained
the announcement of the death of
Charles R. Maunseu which occurred
about noon in Denver, Colorado,
where he has been living for several
months in the hope that the climate
might prove of benefit to his health.
Mr.. MaunseIl had been i'll for several
months with tubercular trouble from
which his wife died early last winter.

Maunsell's condition was so serious
that he was unable to attend the
funeral and II was thought that his
death would be the matter Of but a

that their span of life was short, they
made wills in which all of their prop
erty was bequeathed to their four
children, Charles, jr., who is a student
in the Topeka high school; Bert, aged
10; Bernard, aged s; and Gladys, aged
Is months.
Mr. Maunsen came to Topeka about
thirteen years ago from Chicago
where he had been a constructing en-
sineer with the General Electric
company and Immediately took
charge of the Topeka Edison COM
pany as general superintendent. He
held this position until about a year
and a half ago when the management
changed and he was succeeded by ].
