An investigation of the fire and of the

postoffice inspectors. 1t was discovered
that Postmaster Trent had obtained a
typewriter from a Chicago concern by
fraudulent representations, to which he
confessed. Later Postmaster Trent and

RICH MAN DIES
IN KANSAS CITY

Kansas City. October 3.-Thomas II.
Swope, millionaire and philanthropist,
died suddenly at his home here to-
night, following a stroke of apoplexy.
He was born in Lincoln county, Ken
lucky, October l. 1927, and graduated
from Central college in Danville, KY.
in 1S4s. He took post graduate work
at Yale and came to Kansas City
in 1857. He never married.
Much of his property is in DanviIle.
Ky, and he made a number of gifts to
institutions there.
Colonel Swope's most munificent gift
to Kansas City was Swope park which
contains 400 acres, and is worth more
than $2,G00000 He also gave much
else to the city.
In 1906 the city council here passed
an ordinance making the first Fri
day in May a holiday to be known
as 9Th omas III. Swope Day" This hol-
iday has since been observed by the
schools and all departments of the
city government.

DRY GOODS REVIEW
FOR PAST WEEK

New York, October 3-There was an ac-
tive buying movement In the gray cotton
goods market during the week, and mills
have felt encouraged in their efforts to
lift prices to parity with raw cotton.
Buyers have not operated generally, but
some large distributors and converters
have come to the place where they have
confidence in the maintenance of the
values and feel the need of making pro-
vision for future requirements
Trade in finished goods is fairly steady
but has not shown the same measure of
activity as gray cottons. Substantial Or
ders have been placed on Osnaburgs, con-
verts styles of drills and sheetings, goods
of print cloth yarn construction and other
miscellaneous goods.
The cotton yarn market has shown more
life and business is being done at en-
hanced prices Denims shirtings, duck
bleached goods and other fabrics show ad-
vances ranging from 14c to 1ac a yard
The market is strong, although buying is
on the conservative scale
Jobbers are in a quiet period, but are
getting some good orders for spring
delivery and are finding a moderate and
steady filling-in business coming for
ward from retailersA
Novelties and speciaties in silk goods
are selling but regular goods are quiet
Dress goods are generally quiet

WAR WITH MOORS
Is NOT YET OYER

Madrid, October 3.-There is an absence
of news from the front since General
Marina commander of the Spanish forces
at Melilla, opened the offensive yester-
day. but the recent resistance of the
Moors and the Spanish losses have con-
vinced the government that the war is
not yet over and that too much impor-
tance should not be attributed to the
capture of Mount Guruga
Following last nights decision by the
cabinet TO send new division to Mo-
rocco. Premier Maura tonight announced
that he wished TO end the campaign as
quickly as possible, and that therefore
General Marina would be given all the
reinforcements that he needed.
The Moors are reported to be concen-
trated on the three mountains, Argan,
Ju-Xan and Mllon, which are almost
equally as dangerous of access as Mount
Guruga, and must be dislodged. There are
persistent reports that Mulai Hafd is
secretly encouraging a holy war and
urging the tribesmen in the vicinity of
Fez to Join the Riffans and expel the
Christians from the country. There is
no confirmation Of this, but 1t is under
stood that several tribes have dispatched
contingents to reinforce the Riffian

Washington. October S-A romantic
story has been disclosed by postoffiee in
spectors regarding Harrison Hatfield, of
the family of feudists Of that name, who
died in the penitentiary at Monndsrille,
". Va
Harrison Hatfield lived near Horsepen,
in the mountains of West Virginia. He
was widely known as "Old Hatcher, -
and was a leader of the Hatfelds in the
Mccoy Hatfield feud. which amounted al
most to civil war, and disrupted sew
eral counties on the borders of West Vir-
glnia and Kentucky. One of his eyes was
shot out during raid which the Hat
fields made into Kentucky several years
ago. The Hatfelds owned large areas of
land in West Virginia, from which they
realized considerable money.
"Old Hatcher deposited $2S54 in. the
Guyan Valley bank at Logan, ". Va.
Subsequently, having need of the money,
he authorized Alexander II. Trent post
master at Horsepen. to direct the bank to
forward to him the money by registered
mail Hatfield called at the postoffice
repeatedly for the registered letter, but
when it arrived on April "a, 1897. he had
left the office only short time before
to assist an intoxicated friend who could
not sit astride his mule alone. Hatfield

BALLOONS START UPON
LONG OVERLAND RACE

Zurich, Switzerland. October "A beau
tiful sunny day following yesterdays dis
couraging downpour made the start in the
International balloon race for the Gordon
Bennett cup a splendid success, and more
than 10000 persons watched the II bal
looms soar skyward and disappear on
the horizon in what is likely to prove a
stirring battle for distance honors.
The wishes of the balloonists as voiced
by the American entrant, Edgar w. Mix
of Columbus, O.. were realized in a meas

blowing at the start seemed certain to
carry them toward Russia instead of to
the sea, and thus genuine test will be
afforded of the endurance of the balloons
and the skill of the pilots.
Perfect organization enabled the carry
ing out of the programme without a
hitch. The dirigible Parseval went
through a variety of evolutions to the
great delight of the cheering spectators.

OF the United States. He was elated at
the prospects as he made final inspec-

tendency of men long high in republican
party councils to break away from their
regular affiliations and get exceedingly in
dependent is giving great worry to party
men who are anxious to maintain the or
ganization intact Senator LaFollette of
Wisconsin has been the cause of some
particular sorrow recently, but many
other men of hardly less prominence have
been pursuing a course. since the close
OF the special session Of Congress, which
has strongly suggested an impending
breaking up of party lines to an extent
not known since the war.
1t is perfectly understood that the man

hard at work to effect an organization

a second term in constantly in mind as
like business always is in the thoughts

Mans Legs Ground Off.

Knoxville October 3,-Charles Literer,
owner of a brick plant at Maryville, was
the victim of a terrible accident yester-
day. He was caught,by a brick machine
and pulled into it, the cogs of the ma
chine grinding off both legs to the knees.
While pinoned in the machine Literer
saw one of his crushed limbs fall from
the machine, to the ground. He gave a
great display of nerve, directing workmen
how to stop the machine and how to ex-
tricate him, the latter operation requiring
45 minutes. He was hurried TO a Knox
vile hospital, where both legs were ampu-
tated above the knee, and is reported well
on his way to recovery today.

New York, October SIN a wind more
treacherous than an aeroplane can wei
withstand. Glenn Fl. Curtiss started out
to fly from Governors Island, in New
York harbor, just after sunset this even

had come a lul in the strong wind, but
when the aviator got into the air he found
the breeze still fitful and after minute

tilted at dangerous angles, he came safe

Wilbur Wright, whose contract requires
him to attempt flights when weather con-
ditons permit, up to October 8, did not
appear on Governors Island today.
Although pressed for time Curtiss de-
cided to remain in New York until to-
morrow, so that in the event OF a calm
he may make another flight.
1t was nearly o'clock when Cur
tiss had his aeroplane taken from its
shed today. A hundred or more en-
thusiasts were on hand. With the
