Emporia Officers Now Have
kidnaper 81. moliek Located
In a Big Field and His Capture
Expected at Any Moment.
HE is HEAVILY ARMED
The Father Of Hazel Barnett
Says the Culprit Is a Bad One
Lyon County Case That Ha.
Created a Sensation.

Emporia. Kan, June 23.-Irndersheriff
Fowler and deputies have Edward Sis
molick and Hazel Rarnett surrounded
in a field IL miles from Ennoria and
tnelr capture is expected at any mo-
ment.
state warrant had been sworn out
-, 10. Eo Slsmolick, charging him with
kidnapping Hazel Barnett, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. 7. B. Barnett. of IA South
Neosno street. Hazel Is IA years old
ana large for her age. Sismolick has
peen running the Barnett restaurant
Ior Mr. Barnett. Saturday he started
10 Kansas City, taking Hazel with him,
but Mr.. Barnett took her from the
train before it left the station. Sis
molick disappeared and was not seen
by anyone until about $50 O'Clock
Monday morning, when he came from
his hiding place at the Church Of God,
osho street.
Hazel was on her way from her
home to the restaurant about this
time, and Sismolick stopped her and
induced her to go with him. They
started east on South avenue and
when last seen they had crossed the
Katy right of way.
That was about o'clock, and as
the state warrant was not sworn out
until 9 o'clock, it gave the pair two
hours start on the officers. Marshal
Francis was called early. and he could
have followed the couple and caught
them, but had no authority to make
an arrest beyond the city limits.
A man named Anderson, said that
he met Sismolick and the girl at the
Rinker bridge, and they were going
east. He said that Sismo1ick offered
him $3.50 IL he would haul them to
Lang station. The man refused.
E. @. johnson, who lives nine miles
north of Emporia, brought a load of
hogs to town Monday, and on his way
home he overlook the couple and haul
ed them several miles toward Reading.
This was the last trace the officers had
of the runaways. up to late hour
Monday afternoon.
Besides taking the daughter the
father alleges that he took. $500 OF
his money He is afraid that when the
officers overtake him there will be
shooting. as he says Sismolick Is
heavily armed. He also said that al
Leavenworth Sismolick got into SER
ious trouble before coming to EN-
poria. Mr.. Barnett says, Sismolick
collected as much money as he could
and he did not pay any debts and left
with a wad of money.

JOLT FOR ROOSEVELT.
President Eliot Turns Down Appeal in
Behalf of Oarsman.

New York, June 2s.-A special dis,
patch from Boston to the Tribune
says:
Despite the appeals of President
Roosevelt and Assistant Secretary of
State Robert Bacon, Fish and Morgan.
the two crew men suspended for vio-
lating the rule against removing books
from the Harvard Reference library,
will not be permitted to row in the
Yale-Harvard boat race. President
Roosevelt made a personal appeal to
President Eliot by telegraph as soon
met with a curt Refused from the Har-
ward executive to make any change in
the ruling.
The full correspondence consists of
two kilograms one from the president
to President Eliot, the other an ans
wer from President Eliot. President
Roosevelt's telegram read:
President c. w. Eliot, Cambridge:
"Is it not possible and would it not
be more fitting and Just to substitute
another punishment for Fish and
Morgan, il. as is stated. they merely
took away a book which they were
permitted to use in the library. 1t
seems to US, and We feel sure, that it
is unfair and unnecessary to make
others suffer for an offense of this
kind for which some other punish
ment might surely be found.
(SigneO)-
ROBERT BACON.
President Eliot's reply was as fol-
lows:
ITO President Roosevelt, White House
Washington:
Zach man did dishonorable
thing. One violated in his private In
terest and in a crooked way a rule
made in the common interest, whlie
the other gave a false name and did
not take subsequent opportunity to give
his own. The least possible punish
ment was putting them on PROBATION
but that drops them from the crews.
A keen and sure sense OF nonol Dei1s
the finest result of college life, think
the college and graduates should con-
denim effectively dishonorable conduct.
The college should also teach that
one must never do scurvy things in
the supposed interest, or for the pleas
ure Of others. (Signed.)
