out of the buildings. A general clos
ing up and moving of fixtures is ex-
Dccted today.

KANSAS CITY WON.
Turner's From Missouri Town Capture
the Honors.

The Kansas City Turner's carried off
most of the prizes offered at the second
meeting of the Kansas-Nebraska-M
souri, Turnbezirks which closes today
though all of the athletics work was
completed and the prizes awarded last
night. Many of the visitors have re-
turned to their homes and those who
have remained are being shown over
the city by members of the local turn
verein.
The meeting was a success in ev-
cry way and the attendance which
reached nearly 1000 exceeded by sew
eral hundred the anticipations of the
committee which had the affair in
charge. Besides the medals and prizes
which they won in the different events
the Kansas City turner's took home 33
wreaths as emblems of the prowess
of the members of their teams
Andrea Kempf of the Kansas City
team, proved the prize winner of the
meeting and was awarded the highest
Individual honorS besides assisting his
team materially in the events where
tea ms competed. He was awarded first
place for>all around work, first for ap-
paratus and second in the field COM
petition, and in all won six first
prizes.
His record as an athlete is more
than local, besides having won the first
individual prize in the turner meetings
for the past four years, he won third
place among the American competitors
at the Olympic games held under the
direction of the Louisiana Purchase at
st. Louis in 1904. In the competition
open to all the world and in a class of
several hundred he took nineteenth
place.
Kempf's percentage figured from all
of the events in which he participated
was 90; the second for Individual hon
ors going to another member of the
Kansas City team, Otto Puesche1, with
a score of 90. The third place went to
Edward Schmidt of the Topeka team
who made a score of 86.
Julius Fritz, an ennploye in the mall
ing department at tAe Topeka postof-
fee, did as well in thesffeld work as did
Kempf in the apparatus work, taking
nearly everything in sight and was
awarded five rwreaths of honor and a
of diplomas.
In the Junior work and class compe-
tition Topeka juniors won first; Marys-
vile, second; Kansas City. third; and
Hanover fourth. The judges spent
most of yesterday afternoon in f1gur-
ing the avera ges and percentages made
by the various teams and the prizes.
wreaths and diplomas were awarded
at meeting preceding the final ball
last night.
The stage was neatly decorated and
a dozen young ladies from the Topeka
turner's occupied places on the stage,
and as the names of the winners of
events were called they were crowned
with oak leaf wreaths by the maidens.
The ceremonies accompanying the
awarding of prizes to the successful
athletes were elaborate as we'll as i'm
pressive.
The meeting place for next year has
not been decided. but a meeting of the
delegates from the different turn
vereins will be held in Topeka some
time this fall. probably in November
when the place of meeting will be de-
1nitely settled.

SOLD THEIR SHIPS.
Too Expensive to Operate Under the
American Flag.

New York. June 4.@The report Of
the International Mercantile Marine
company for the year ended Decem-
be- 81, 1906, just made public, shows
that six steamers, including the
American built vessels, Maine and
Missouri, were sold during the year.
The company has provided, however,
for adding nine steamers to the feet
of total tonnage of 127,53O.
Commenting on the sale of the
American built vessels, the report
says:
your directors felt that as the cost
of operating under the American flag
was so much greater, and the steamers
were at such disadvantage in foreign
trade, they should avail themselves of
an opportunity which presented itself
to dispose of the Maine and Missouri.
These vessels have, therefore, been
sold at a very satisfactory price and a
steamer of suitable type ordered for
the Atlantic transport line, New York
London passenger and cargo service"

BRITISH SHIP SEIZED.
A Revenue Cutter Finds Her Illegally
Catching Seals.

Washington, June 4.-The secretary of
the treasury has received a telegram
from Captain Ainsworth, of the revenue
cutter Rush. stating that he had seized
the British sealing schooner Charlotta
G.. Cox, which was found Illegally catch
ing seals in F'airwater grounds, off Alas
ka.
The Cox, it is said, evidently was TAX
ing seals during the closed season in
violation of articles of the tribunal of
arbitration agreed to by the govern
ments of Great Britain and the United
States. She had seventy-seven fur seal
skins on board. The department has
directed the commander of the Rush to
deliver the Cox to the British author1-
ties at the nearest port in British Col
,,rnbia in accordance with the joint reg
ulations of the two governments in case
of seizure
The Rush also reported the presence
of Japanese sealers in the same vicinity
with a large number of seal skins on
board The Japanese sealers, however,
are not subject to seizure outside of tel
ritOrial waters.

were uD on the roof with him Friday
looking after some repairs which Mr..
Perkins wanted made. Dorwald had
an appointment with Perkins to go
out on the roof at 6 O'Clock and fix
some places on the roof that needed
fixing. AS o'clock approached he
found he could not keep the appoint
ment promptly and telephoned Per-
kins that he would be late in getting
there.
.AT right replied Perkins. "but as
I am going out of town soon / will go
out on the roof and mark with a piece
of chalk the places I want fixed"
The friends of Mr.. Perkins insist that
the attorney was upon the roof to mark
the places to be repaired. The friends
are also using much stress in discount
in which Mr.. Perkins struck the ground.
The leap he took, if he did leap instead
of falling, is one which would be as
likely to cripple a man for life as to
kill MIN. He was seen to clutch at
the coping on the east wing of the
house as he fell past it, evidently in
tending to save himself or break the
force of his fall if possible. He struck
upon his feet instead of upon some
vital portion of his anatomy, as would
have been the case had he directed the
course of his body with suicidal intent.
Expected Violent Death.
Mr. Perkins had a premonition that
he was to meet a violent death. He
has often told friends that he expect
ed to die suddenly and that it would
be by an accidentTo an intimate friend,
who refused to let his name be used,
Mr.. Perkins made this observation a
few weeks ago:
Sometime I am startled as 1 am
walking home, sometimes as I am go
ing along the street absorbed in the
thoughts of my business, sometimes
while at my desk the same thought
comes to me, supposing 1 should meet
with an accident? 1 feel that an aw-
full accident is to befall me. My father
died in that way and others of my an
ceStors have met death in accidental
ways. If 1 could 1 would carry $780,

DUE TO WEATHER.
All Murder Records Broken in
New York City.
Thirteen HOmicides Have Been
Committed in Seven Days.
ALSO TEN SUICIDES.
And a Half Dozen Attempts at
Self Destruction.
Hospitals Are Crowded With
Pneumonia Patients.
ALSO TEN SUICIDES.

New York, June 4.-Thirteen murders
have been committed in this city within
the last seven days, breaking all former
records for that period of time. Besides
the homicides there have been ten sui
c1des and half dozen attempts at sui
eide in the same period. which is con-
siderably above the average for the
time
In the homicide bureau of the district
attorneys office no reason could be
given for the increase of violence, but
1t was remarked that the unreasonable
weather might be responsible. 1t is a
well known fact that more suicides oc-
cur in gloomy, depressing weather than
in other periods of time and it was
thought the same was likely to be true
of murders, especially when the unsea-
sonable weather spread over a period
OF time as has been the case recently.
Reports from the hospitals are that all
these institutions are crowded with
patients suffering from pneumonia and
colds. result of the cold spring
weather.

OBJECTS TO JUDGES.
III. HI. Tucker Says Pollock, Mcpherson
and Philips Are Prejudiced.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 4.-The
case of the Uncle Sam Oil company
was called for trial in the United States
circuit court late Monday. H. H.
Tucker, who is under indictment for
fraud, asked through his attorneys for
new judge to try the case. Judge
John c. Pollock. sitting on the bench.
was presented with an affidavit signed
by Tucker, in which he. Tucker, al
legged that Judge Pollock was biased
and prejudiced against the defendant
and the Uncle Sam Oil company and
in substance that he could not get a
fair trial. The affidavit charged Judge
Pollock, Judge Mcpherson and Judge
Philips, all three federal judges, with
being in a conspiracy to injure the
Uncle Sam Oil company and that the
conspiracy had existed for over year.
The filing of this rather sensational
affidavit created surprise and Judge
Pollock adjourned court for an hour
to consider it. When court convened
at 4 o'clock, Judge Pollock made no
comment, but announced that the case
would come UP Wednesday afternoon
at O'Clock and for the attorneys and
witnesses to be ready to proceed with
the trial.

Independent Oil Companies Are
Planning a Suit.
Would Force Standard to Obey
Pipe Line Law.
WON'T TAKE THE OIL.
Refuse to Consider Itself a Com
mon Carrier.
Action Before the Railroad
Commissioners.

Independent oil companies which are
trying to do refining business in the
state of Kansas, are planning to begin
proceedings before the state board of
railroad commissioners, or in the
courts, to compel the Prairie Oil & Gas
company, owners of the Standard Oil
pipe lines in Kansas, to obey the law
enacted at the 1905 session of the leg
islature making pipe lines common
carriers, and fixing the maximum tar
ifs to be charged for the transporta-
ton of oil in these pipe lines.
The Standard Oil people have never
pretended to obey the law, and up to
this time, the Independents have failed
to make any fight for their rights. Not
long ago, the Kansas Independent Oil
company with headquarters at Cha
mute, asked permission from the agent
of the Standard Oil company pipe lines
to attach to the Standard pipe lines,
and deliver oil to those lines for use
in its refinery. The Standard refused
the request on the ground that it's
pumping station at Neodesha had been
destroyed by fire. and it could handle
no oil. The Chanute refinery waited
until the pumping station was rebuilt,
and then renewed its request. The
agent of the Standard said that he had
no authority to permit the Independent
company to transport oil. That ended
the correspondence, and the Independ-
the law.
Similar experiences have been had
by other Independent refiners who
have desired to use the Standard Oil
pipe lines, which under the laws
of the state are common car
riers. 1t is likely that the
Standard Oil company will not seri-
ously contend that it Is willing to al
low independent refiners to connect
with its lines, but if the case comes to
an issue, will fight the whole operation
of the law, and contend that the leg
islature mas no authority to declare the
Standard Oil pipe line a common car
rier
The contention of the independent
refiners that the Kansas law is good is
greatly strengthened by the circuit
court at Findlay, o., which yesterday
rendered an important decision In the
case of the Bucke we Oil company, which
seems to be pipe line company DONG
