DENIES CHARGES.
DIR. Frank Lindsey Of Trego
County Makes Protest.
Says He Is Not a Drunkard Nor
dope" Fiend.
HE SCORES HIS WIFE.
Declares That She Became In
tOxicated and Abused Him.
Didn't Like to Live in a Small
Town and Left Him.

Leavenworth, Jan. 23.-In the divorce
case of Maude Lindsey against DR..
Frank Lindsey, county physician of
Trego county, which was filed in the
district court here few weeks ago.
an answer and cross petition has boon
filed by DR.. Lindsey.
In the original petition Mrs. Lindsey
made some very sensational allegations
against her husband, among them be-
ing the assertions that he drinks i'm
moderately, is dope f1end," that he
smoked his pipe in bed and many other
similar charges.
In the cross petition Dr.. Lindsey de-
MES all the allegations of the original
petition and incorporated some very
pointed assertions in regard to Mrs.
Lindsey.
He says that at the time of her mar
belonging to good family and as in
every way worthy to be his wife, yet as
a matter of fact, before her marriage
her conduct had been bad.
He says that she is i'll tempered and
that she abused him and her daughter
on different occasions.
He alleges that he provided well for
her and gave her money sufficient for
her necessities but that she ran many
bills which he was called on to pay.
He further alleges that she was at
different times in the company of other
men and that on one occasion she re-
turned home with a drunken crowd.
He says that one time she desired to
join certain lodge and that when she
was blackballed she blamed him for it,
that she became intoxicated and ran
him and the child out of the house and
that she struck him in the face.
He claims that she did not like to
live in Wa-Keeney, where his practice
is and that she voluntarily left him and
went to Kansas City. That while she
was in Kansas City her bad temper got
her in trouble with her relatives there
and that they forced her to leave their
house.
He asked that he be granted decree
of divorce for her faults.

Superiority of European and
American Machines Given Test.

New York, Jan Z.-Details and the
route of, the New York-to-Paris auto
mobile race have been decided as far as
the run to Chicago is concerned. A
five-day schedule has been laid out.
The first days run will be to Albany,
distance of 148 miles. This will be the
shortest days run of the trip and is so
arranged on account of the fact that
the start probably will be made at II
I O'Clock in the morning. The second
days run will be to Rochester, dis
lance Of 24S miles, and the third days
run to Cleveland, a distance of 271
miles The fourth days run will be to
Waterloo, Ind. distance of 204 miles,
and the fifth days run to Chicago, 1852
miles.
This Is not too difficult schedule for
fair weather. 1t may be necessary in
snow or other untoward conditions to
shorten the distance on any one day
and the drivers are at liberty to make
I'D the difference In the following day,
II possible.
Between New York and Chicago there
viii be no daredevil pacing along the
public roads. This section Of the coun-
Of driving at dangerous pace and the
schedules are set well within the speed
limits. No car will be permitted to
start west from Chicago before the
morning OF FEBRUARY ~. All the cars
that have reached Chicago may then
20 ahead at their own pace, starting
At 3 O'Clock in the morning. Cars that
may not have reached the city for any
reason will be allowed to follow on at
another time after that hour, simply
checking up at the given point.
The addition of two more foreign cars
to the entry list Of the New York-to-
Paris race brings the number of for
eigners to compete to six. Besides the
four American cars that are now en-
tered there is good prospect that two
more will start from Times square on
February Is. A telegram from the
west announcing the entry Of western
car not hitherto mentioned as a pos
eible starter was received last night.
There Is every reason to believe that
when the race starts the American COM
petitors will outnumber the foreign.
The superiority claimed for foreign
cars, which has been vigorously denied
by the American manufacturers, Will
thus be tried out in the contest across
the United States and Alaska and with
the advantage of better acquaintance
with the conditions and the greater
adaptabinty and resourcefulness of the
American driver, there Is reason to be-
.lieve that the American car will not
suffer by the comparison.

BACK TO THE REFoRAfAToRY.
Miner Martin Strayed From Paths OF
Rectitude and Must Return

Miner Martin, colored, and rs years OF
age, who was arrested Tuesday charg-
ed with the theft of a pocketbook con-
tanning about $25, stands a fine chance
to be returned to the state reformatery
at Hutchinson from which he was pa
rolled less than a year ago. He has
been making his home in Topeka for
some time though he was sent to the
reformatory from Atchison, and of late
has worked at the Fifth Avenue hotel
as a fireman. yrs,
farmers from Jefferson county slept in
one Of the rooms at the hotel and left
in q hurry early in the morning to
catch a train for home leaving a pock-
etbook under the pillow where 1t had
been placed for safe keeping. Before
they arrived at the depot the loss of
the pocketbook was discovered and a
quick run was made for the room where
they had slept the night before but the
pocketbook and it's contents as well
were missing.
1t seems that Martin numbers among
his assets a white wife and she was
employed about the rooms of the Fifth
Avenue and his confession which fol-
lowed his capture indicates that 1t was
she who found the pocketbook. The
police think differently and believe
that the pair work together. Martin
took the officers to the boiler room of
the hotel where he was employed and
found the money for them where it had
been secreted between the ceiling and
the floor above and it was returned to
the JEFFERSON county owners. Proba-
ton Officer Crawford Of Hutchinson is
in the city today trying to perfect ar
rangements for the return Of Martin to
the reformatory.

CorteIyou Says Financial Conditions
Have Greatly Improved.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The secre-
tary of the treasury has announced
that owing to great Improvement in
financial conditions throughout the
country he had begun the gradual
withdrawal of deposits of public mon.
eys in moderate amounts from the
national banks. The first call has
been made upon New York banks and
amounts TO approximate ten million
dollars. This is in addition to about
ten million dollars returned by the
New York banks since December e.

will be made upon banks in other
cities at an early date.

HE STANDS BY CHANDLER.
VIM. Docking Calls Depository Law
Politicians Proposition.

Clay Center, Jan. %.
To the Editor of the State journal:
.t 1 have read with interest the reply
of Governor sHoch to Mr. Chandler
relating to the deposit guaranty bills.
and would like to make a few re-
marks myself.
What th& governor says is true.
This is not primarily a bankers
proposition.i Neither is it however a
depositors' proposition. We should
not misnare it if we called it a poll
ticians' proposition. The bankers
don't want 1t. AS far as 1 have been
able to find out the depositors have
no interest in it. In this county I
have yet to hear one man express him
self favorab bly, toward such a law, and
many of them are against it on the
ground that they do not want their
guaranteeing the deposits of other
banks. This would seem to be sound
reasoning. The depositors in the
banks here are entirely satisfied with
the safety of the home banks, but
know nothing whatever about the
away. I firmly believe that bank if
such a law was in force would gain
in business by advertising that it did
not take part in the guarantee Of any
other banks deposits. The depositor
will not look at the one side. The
state law governing a fund for that
purpose" The depositor says do
you guarantee the deposits Of the
other banks of the state?"
The governor seems to think that
the refusal of the comptroller OF the
currency to permit the national banks
of Oklahoma to take part in the
guarantee is whim of the comptro1-
Ter. He says it seems absolutely
ridiculous that the government will
not permit the 800 national banks to
go in. I suppose it does seem so to
him. The law prohibiting a national
bank from becoming a surety in any
manner direct or indirect is the rea-
son that the national banks will not
be allowed to participate, and where
is the experienced business man,
banker or not, that VIII say this rule
is not a wise one. And yet it Is pro-
posed that the banks shall become
sureties for one another.
The governor intimates that Mr..
Chandler is opposed to the law be-
cause he is a national banker. This
is not the case with myself at any rate
as I hold more stock in state than
national banks. am opposed to the
law because it is utterly contrary to
the correct principles Of banking and
in the end if passed would lower the
standard of banking in Kansas. which
am proud to say is at this time very
high. There was no panic in Kansas
and in spite Of some strfngency the
people had almost absolute confidence
in the banks. The attitude of the
people itself during the last quarter
of 1907 is good evidence how much
they are requiring a guarantee from
their banks, and as far as banking
conditions go there Is at this time al
most a plethora Of money, and loans
are eagerly sought The emergency

COBB WANTS A BIG SALARY.
American Leagues Great Batter Says
He Is Worth IS 900 to Detroit,

Detroit, Jan. 23.-"Ty' Cobb, cham
pion slugger Of the American league,
has informed the Detroit club that ne
wants salary of $4,000 for next sea-
son. More than that, he wants a
three-year contract at 5000 a season,
with the stipulation that he be paid if
injured or sick.
His ultimatum to the local club was
contained in letter which was re-
ceived today, along with his unsigned
contract.
Cobb's tremendous success with the
stick last season made him the sensa>
ton OF the baseball world, and it was
fully expected that he would ask for
the limit in pay when 1t came time to
sign contract for the season of 1908.
his falldown in the worlds series
didn't stop him from going the route
in demanding higher wage.
President Navtn of the local club
said he had no doubt that the player
and club would be able to reach a sat
1sfactory agreement before the time for
spring training rolled around.

just who made the offer could not

that James B. Brady of New York was

Diamond JIM had tried to purchase

Allen, gives credence to the connection
OF his name with this report
Chapultepec was practically of I'M
known quality when Allen tried to buy
MIN last year. He had never started
but had worked so fast that Allen re-
garded him as an excellent investment.
Burlew & O'Neill refused the tempt
ing bait. At the time Colin had not
appeared and, as Chapultepec was en-

$4,000, it seemed good Judgment on
the part of Burlew & O'Neill to refuse
