ONE WIFE TOO MANY.
For This George Augustus Cook, or
George Moore. Is Arrestst1.

After two months of immunity, Geo.
Augustus Cook, alias George Mooore,
was arrested this morning by the
sherln, on complaint Of his first wife,
Ada Q. Moore, of Galesburg, Ill. 1t
was about two months ago that the
newspapers contained the story of the
doing of Gus Cook" a person who got
into the public eye by presumably
shooting at some man in Shorey. At
that time the officers learned that Mr..
Cook had two wives, one in Galesburg.
ILL.,, and another whom he had recently
married in Topeka. He was not ar
rested for bigamy at that time because
no complaint had been filed. Last even
ing Mrs. George Moore of Galesburg,
ILL.,. dropped in, and today she secured
warrant for the over-married Mr.
Moore-Cook. In the complaint she
says that she was legally married to
George Moore as he then called him
self, in Galesburg, Ill, five years ago;
that he deserted her at that place, came
to Topeka and in April, 1907, married
Mrs. Myrtle Lowe, of this city, under
the name of George Augustu Cook. %
Moore-Cook, who has been hanging
around town since his marriage, and
has been in custody on several minor
charges and suspicious in the meantime
was at once arrested and locked in the
county Jail.
Cook claims that he thought his for
mer wife was dead when he married the
Topeka woman.

HIS JUDGMENT BAD.
So Much Is Admitted by John r.
Walsh on the Stand,

Chicago, Jan. 10.-The cross ex-
animation of John r. Walsh, the
banker. in his trial here was resumed
today. The Interrogation by Assistant
District Attorney Dobyns was directed
to the question of Walsh's reports to
the Chicago Clearing House associa-
t1on with respect to the "memoran-
dunn notes which figured in the evi-
dence brought out by the prosecution
Did the clearing house know that
bank p the witness was asked.
don't KNOW" he replied.
Did you give them any informa-
ton concerning these notes outside OF
the reports?" Mr.. Barbour asked.
Mr.. Walsh announced in the mega.
tive.
Turning to the building of the
southern Missouri road, will ask YOU
II the chicago National bank was in
the e.,t, business of building railroads."
The Illinois Southern was buiIdine

Didn't the bank furnish the
money!"
Yes the bank had an interest in
the illinois Southern, and L thought
the extension would be a good thing
for the road and that it would be q
good thing for the bank
DID you think the securities Of the
road given as collateral for the ad-
Vances OF money were safe and good ?'
never dld anytnlng in my life that
L didn't think was all right
Pressed for more direct reply. MY
Walsh answered:
Yes, I thought the securities were
good"
Walsh's answers indicated that he
later discovered that his Judgment had
been bad, but in order to rescue tn e
bank from an unfortunate investment
more money had to be risked
Asked whether it was his intention
as president of the bank to keep or
buying the bonds of the railroad sc
that the extension could be built, Mr.
Walsh replied:
II intended to get the road in shape
so that 1t could be sold and then the
bank could get out of If >,

Federation LOSES.
Motion to Amend Courts Boycott
Order Is Denied.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Justice Gould
of the supreme court of the District of
Columbia today overruled a motion
made by the American Federation of
Labor to amend the courts order in
the case of the Buck Stove and Range
company of St.. Louis, in which the
court recently temporarily .enjoined
the federation from placing the COM
pany on a boycott and unfair list in
the federation publications. The mo-
ton of the federation contended that
the order was erroneous because it was
made to run until the final decree in
the case instead of until the further
order of the court because it may be
construed to enJoin the defendants
from uniting to agree to patronize
plaintiffs products; or construed to
prevent the defendants and their as
sociates from saying to others that
they had united and combined not to
patronize such products; or to enjoin
their announcing that they had COM
bined not to deal with others who
should deal with the company. The
motion also contends that the order
abridges freedom of speech of all the
defendants and freedom. of the press
(which is protected by the first
amendment to the constitution of the
United States"
The court decided that it would not
alter the order in any way.
