LIQUOR men WIN.
Secure an Injunction Against Seizure
of Their Goods in Transit.

Enid, July 29.-Enjoining state and
county officials from seizing shipments
of liquor in transit in Oklahoma until
such shipments shall have been deliv-
cred to consignees, Judge John Cot
teral in the United States circuit court
here issued a temporary restraining
order in the case of the Harvest King
Distilling company of Kansas City
against C. j. West attorney general OF
the state of Oklahoma, Robert Losier,
superintendent of the state liquor dis
pensary and officials of the counties
Of Logan. Stevens and Custer.
In granting the injunction Judge
Cotteral held that the state of Okla
homa had power to regulate liquor
shipments as related to domestic COM
merce only and that the state had not
the right to Interfere with interstate
shipments. Numerous shipments of
liquor coming from Kansas and other
states have been seized In various Ok

is IT HARRY CORNISH?
Dead Body Identified as That of Man
in the MoIineux Case.

/ New York, July 2s.-That the slain body
OF man found floating In the tide off
Gravesend beach last Sunday is that of
hairy 5. Cornish, one of the central fig
ures in the Adams murder case of a few
years ago, is the opinion of a man who
was in almost daily contact with Cornish
at that time. He is Charles Crane, who
was employed as a private detective to
watch some of the Molineux jurymen
now holds a concession in a Coney Island
amusement resort. He said that Cornish
had been in business at the same resort
Tor several years, that he has seen him al
most daily asd is convinced it is the same
Cornish who occupied such a prominent
place In the sensational columns of the
at the body in the morgue Crane said he
could not be mistaken in the identifica-
ton.
Edward B. Kinsella, the manager of
Dreamland Park. who said he knew Cor
nisn we'll visited the morgue and after
viewing the body said he did not think
the body was that of Cornish.
The condition of the body left no doubt
| that the man had been murdered. Three
blow and there was a great cash in the
| back of the head as If caused by a
Ratchet The police believe that the man
was struck down from behind, robbed and
the body thrown into the bay in effort
to cover w the crime. Cranes indentifi-
memories of the sensational case which
held the attention of the country for
months. probably will result in a fuller
case otherwise would be given.
Harry Cornish in 1898 had room at
Eighty-sixth street and Amsterdam ave
nue.. with Mrs. Rogers and her mother,
Mrs. Kate Adams. There came to him on
Christmas of that year a fancy bottle
holder containing bottle labeled bromo
seltzer.
Two days later Mrs Adams had a head
ache and took some of the supposed bro
mo settler. She died in agony a short
time afterward. for whct the bottle real
ly contained was cyadine of mercury.
Cornish at that time was Athletic in
Cornish at that time was athletic in
club.
Soon after the death of Mrs Adams the
police arrested Roland B. Molineux and
charged him with murder asserting that
he had sent the fatal ''bromo seltzer'.
Molineux was convicted in the first trial
and then acquitted on a second. Cornish
dropped out of sight after Molineux was
given his liberty. He went to Chicago,
then came to New York and engaged in
business in a small way. His marriage
to Baltimore young woman was an
nounced about three weeks ago.

ANXIOUS TO TRY AGAIN.
Government Attorneys Still Think
They Can Beat the Standard.

Lenox, Mass, July 29.-Prominent
prosecuting officers Of the government
with the assistance of several leaders
in the practice of law including Frank
B. Kellogg of Minnesota, took up the
consideration today of the question
whether the criminal suit against the
Standard Oil company for alleged re-
batting and other violations of the in
terstate commerce laws shall be fur
Their pressed in the courts. The dis
tinguished gathering was brought
about by an invitation from Attorney
named to meet him in conference on
the subject here. The assembly en-
braces besides Attorney General Bona
parte, Solicitor General Henry NJ. Hoyt
of Washington: Edwin W.. Sims of
Chicago, United States district attor-
his first assistant, James H. Wilkerson
of Chicago; F. B. Kellogg and several
clerks of the department of justice at
Washington. One of the Hotel Aspin-
wall rooms has been set aside as a
meeting place.
A great mass of literature in con-
nection with the trial and suit against
the Standard Oil company at Chicago,
some Is months ago was brought from
Washington and Chicago together with
the text of the decision of Judge Lands
in imposing the $29, 100000 fine upon the
company as well as the latest document
in the case the decision Of the United
States court of appeals setting aside
Judge Lands decision.
The governments position at the
present time according to its legal rep
resentatives is one of confidence that
another campaign carefully planned
and we'll executed, would secure VIC
tory which would be beyond reversal
by the higher courts.
The Chicago lawyers, it is understood
are ardent in their desire for a re-
trial of the case and have brought here
nearly all the documents having a
bearing on the preparation and trial
of the first suit, together with much of
the evidence. They admit that mis-
tal~o were made in the trial, but they
beleve that the mistakes can be recti
fed and the experience used probably
if a new trial is afforded. Attorney
General Bonaparte and Solicitor, Gen
eraI Hoyt, it Is understood will take
the arguments of their colleagues un--
der consideration, review the docu-
ments and decide what steps shall next
be taken.

Dropped at Psychological Moment
Converts Woman Into a Burglar.

Chicago. July 29.-How a germ of
thought dropped at the psychological
moment into the brain of a modest
housewife. transformed her into a bur-
glar developed after the grand jury
indicted Mrs. Ella Klein, ia Perry
street, on six charges of burglary.
Mrs. Klein, who has heretofore lived
the simple and innocent life of the
average mother of a growing family,
said that the sole motive was a desire
to see her four children dressed as
those of her wealthy neighbors and
that the crimes followed the idle sug-
gestion of a thoughtless friend that
burglary Is not always a wrong.

Makes Light OF Serious Charges.
The Emporia Gazette on Wednesday
Of last week made some serious
charges against Congressman ]. w.
Miller, the most damaging one being
that in relation to his alleged vote on
the Union Pacific funding bill The
vote on this measure was cast by con-
gressmen two years before Mr.. Miller
was even elected to congress. The Ga
Zette now says: 1E- .tts-
-. M. Miller goes to extremes, as
regards length, in his defense of his
congressional record, Z but he doesn't
say word about the one thing in
which the plain people are vitality in
terested. They want to know why he
sent them bum garden and flower seed
last spring, and they cannot be side
tracked from the main issue by any
amount of sophistries.
"In explaining and defending his
official record, he makes an extremely
adroit attempt to distract the attention
Of the voters from the real charge
against him; that of sending his con-
stituents packages of garden seeds
to many. This department is not speak
ing at random, but is fortified with in
controvertible facts showing the I'M
speakable dupHcity Of Mr.. Miller.
There is in Emporia a woman who
is passionately fond OF Sweet Williams
HIGHEST dlilDltlOtl dlW OCCh
to make her garden a bower Of these
fragrant plants. The fact was convey
ed to the congressman by one of the
woman's friends; and he with diaboli-
cal malignity, planned to break her
trusting heart and destroy her faith
in human nature.
He sent her a package of seeds
labeled Sweet William and she. poor
woman, little dreaming that she was
the chosen victim of a perf1dious en-
envy of all Williams, whether they be
sweet or otherwise, planted the seeds,
and watered them with the tears Of her
gratitude. And today her garden is
grown up with coarse and repulsive
artichokes, and she has been notified
by the police that she must cut them
down, as they are a public nuisance.
1T is not surprising that Mr.. Miller
endeavors to avoid the responsibility
for this and similar outrages by In
dulging in endless platitudes touching
questions in which no man is interest
ed But the voters can't be fooled"

Independence, July %, 1903.
To the Editor of the State Journal.
Reports from all points in Montgom-
cry county show that there is no anti
Long campaign in this county. The
people of this county have never had
any confidence in Bristow as a re-
former, and the publication of his let
ter to Senator Long has only more
clearly shown up his sycophantic
character.
Long is admired here for the man
ner in which he SO ably represents
Kansas in the senate and for standing
for the things that Taft and Roose-
welt stand for. The people in this
county believe In Long and will give
him the largest majority of any county
in the state.
