GoEBEL FOR TRUSTEE.
Uncle Sam OIL Company Creditors to
Name Him Today.

Kansas City, Kan, Sept. 27.-At a
meeting of stockholders and creditors
of the Uncle Sam Oil company, in the
federal building today, trustee for the
company will in all probability be cho-
sen. The majority of the stockholders
have already Endorsed Peter w. Goe-
bel, president of the Commercial Ma
tional bank, and It is stated that most
of the creditors are favorable to him.
The creditors of the company will first
vote upon a trustee, after which Ref
cree Judge Hazen will make the ap-
pointment.
Secretary H. H. Tucker, Jr., of the
company, stated yesterday that he did
not believe that any particular oppoSi-
ton would be raised to the appointment
of Mr.. Goebel. AS soon as the trustee
is named the work of recognizing the
company will be taken up. Stockhold-
ers from all parts of the country have
commenced to send in the 4 per cent
assessment levied upon the stock at
recent meeting and the board of Fl
directors elected last week is confident
that 1t will be able to pay off the claims
against the company as fast as they
are audited. The object of the direc-
tors is to pay off the company's indebt-
edness as quickly as possible and take
the affairs of the company out of the
hands of the court.

GoTCH HAS RING FEVER.
Big Wrestler Is Training to Become n
Boxing Wonder.


Chicago, Sept. 27.-Frank Gotch,
champion heavyweight catch IS catch
can wrestler of America. bumped into
Tommy Ryan at the Coliseum and be-
fore they had been in conversation thir-
ty minutes Frank concluded he could
cut as wide a swath in pugilism as he
has in wrestling.
He convinced Ryan he had quite
smatering of the hit and get away
game and thought it would not take up
much of his time to become proficient
enough to beat some of the present day
heaVyweights. Ryan thought well of it
and said he would take Frank in hand
and turn him out a champion.
Tommy does not consider he will have
much trouble placing the big wrestler
in the championship ranks, and if Frank
does not change his mind he will have
him battling a second rater before the
snow flies.
Gotch was stung by the pugilistic bee
about two years ago and matched him
self against a western aspirant named
Boomer Weeks and got the worst of the
argument He also took a whirl out of
Frank Slavin in Dawson and what the
old Australian did to him should have
knocked the pugilistic aspirations out OF
him. However, the heavyweight mar
ket is pretty we'll depleted at present
and Frank may become a factor in it.

Wichita Photographs Will Con-

Police Try to Silence the
Theatrical Machines.
ONE ARREST is MADE
Court Decides the License Gives

Are Not a Nuisance and Mayor
Must Submit.

Wichita, Sept. 2T.-According to
the latest mandate of the police judge
and the city attorney. the photograph
Is a permanent institution in this city
and 1t will be permitted to reproduce
the strains of Lohengrin and the
Henry" dialogues at the nickel thea
tiers until action is taken by the city
council.
Early Wednesday afternoon w. H.
Marble. proprietor of the Elite thea
ter. was arrested for violating the or
der of the chief of police in reference
TO the operation of Photographs at
the show places. Mr.. MARBLE was TAX
en- TO the police station and gave bond
Tor his appearance at 5 O'Clock. When
MS case was called at the aftern DON
session of court liz was decided by that
Jurisprudence that the order eman-
ating from the mayor was contrary to
the rights of man. and MARBLE walked
from the station a free and unfined
man.
In the latter part of last week the
that he should serve an order on the
nickel theater men, stating that they
would have to shut off the phOno-
graphs at the places. This order was
served last Monday morning, and i'm
mediately a storm of protest from the
managers of the places was heard.
Some of them declared that the order
would not stand, and showed a dis
position to fight the latest act of Of
1iciousness of the mayor. They de-
clared that IL was very inconsistent
for the city to encourage them to the
extent of taking their money which
they paid for a license, and then turn,
around and ruin their business by
taking from them their principal
method of advertising. 1t was declar-
ed that a moving picture show with
out a photograph would be like
circus without band.
However the majority of the man.
ayers did not wish to get into trouble
with the police, and although they
were confident that the order would
not stand. they visited Chief Wood.
A compromise was the result of the
conference. and the theater people
were given permission to operate
their monographs from p. m. to
8 p. m.
1t is understood. however, that Mr..
MARBLE OF the Elite, did not call upon
the chief. but settled down to obey
the order without protest. But when
the neighboring houses started their
horns Mr.. MARBLE oiled his machine
and ground off a few selections by
Anna Jones'
Hearing that the machine was in
operation contrary to the edict of the
mayor. Assistant Chief of Police Voss
sent OFFICER Long to the theater to
make the arrest yesterday afternoon
at 2 o'clock
At the trial it developed that the
order could not stand and that the
monographs at the theaters were no
nuisances. The mayor had over-step-
ped his authority. and it was ruled
by the city attorney that an ordinance
by the city council would be necessary
before a quietus could be put on the
machines. 1t is likely that the phono-
graphs will make up for lost time
during the remainder of the week,
and the music will be heard as of old
from one end of the avenue to the
@eheP.

MAY BE A MURDERER.
Demented Arkansas City Man Thought
to Be Wanted i'm Nebraska.

Arkansas City, KAN, Sept. 27.-The
demented man who gave himself up to
the police here and asked protection
from an imaginary mob. is believed by
the police here to be c. H. Schumway,
wanted at Beatrice, Neb., for the muir
der of Mrs. Jacob Martin, aged A. wife
of a wealthy stock raiser.
A former resident of Gage county,
Neb., who knew Schumway ten years
ago, says he bears a striking resem-
blance to him. The Nebraska officers
have been notified. When searched the
man here had a number of blood-stain-
ed bills in his possession.
Schumway is alleged to have killed
Mrs. Martin by cutting her throat, then
robbed the house of $210 and escaped.
The murder was committed September
13. An officer found Schumway on a
train between Seneca and Marysville.
Kan. and attempted to arrest him. He
escaped into a cornfleld.

STRONG ELEVEN AT Nj. U.
Tigers Likely to Give Kansas Trouble
Plenty This Year.

Columbia, No, Sept. 26.-The first
scrimmage practice of the year was
held by the Tigers Wednesday after
noon. From the lineup a fair idea of
those who will play "-ainst Westnin-
ster Saturday may be gained. At center
Ristine is the most likely candidate
with Rogers in second place. Nixon
and KurtZ will be the regular guards.
Capt. Miller and big Graves will play
the tackles. Driver and Alexander viii
start out at ends, with Ewing to take
Drivers place when the latter goes to
half. Probably all three full backs
Nee. Colonius and Axline-will be used.
Nee's punting is in the same class with
Axline's. Grain, Switzer, Ewing and
Driver will probably all be used at half.
Rutherford will start the game at quar-
ter while Deatherage will be given q
chance to show what he can do in the
second half.
Carothers, the fast guard, may be kept
out of the game because of a twisted
ankle Rutherford was kept out of the
scrimmage yesterday for fear of an. in
jury to his weak pin. Maupin, star, of
the 1905 team, announced that he would
not come out yesterday. He is eligible
this year. Red" Williams. however. is
out and expects to be declared eligible
soon. williams can play any position on
the team. He pitched for the baseball
team in 1905. News has been received
her that Bobbitt who played end last
year, will not return to Missouri, but will
attend Vanderbilt university. Alexan-
der is expected to more than fill his
place, however.
The Kirksville game. scheduled for
October 5, has been called off by the
Kirksville management. No reason was
given. Gold feet is the explanation
given here.

ed yesterday in letter from the for
mer hero of Marshall field.
The loss of the big tackle and shot
putter is the first hard blow Coach
Stage has received this year. Kelley
had developed from a mediocre play
er into one of the best defensive ex-
perts in the west under Stages care,
and the director banked greatly on
the poise and strength he would lend
to the 1907 line.
