BACK TO KANSAS CITY.
Mcmahon and Lamb to Be Taken Back
This Afternoon.

Lansing, Kan, Oct. 27.-During the
cay Patrick Mcmahon complained at
being held here in restraint and ex-
pressed a desire to return to Kansas
City. The warden permitted both Pat
rick Mcmahon and Lamb to be re-
moved from the cells and gave them
temporary quarters in his office. Early
in the afternoon the warden tele-
phoned the sheriff's Office at Kansas
City and repeated Patrick's complaint
at longer being held in restraint, and
saying that he felt he had no legal
right to hold the man as he had not
been committed to the institution.
The sheriff replied that he would
come to Lansing during the afternoon
and take both Patrick and Lamb back
t. Kansas City.
During the morning James McMa-
hon talked freely with newspaper men
regarding the crime. He added but
little to what he told in Kansas City.
''I expected to kill myself" said the
prisoner, but lost my nerve
do you want to go back to Kansas
C'ty?"

about anything. I would have given
myself up if any innocent man had
been arrested Mcmahon continued.
Patrick Mcmahon was very detected.
''I never suspected my brother he
said st did not think he would do
such a thing. It's wonder he hasn't

WILL PAY THEIR FINES.
rittsburg officials Bow to Supreme
Court Mandate

The officials Of the Kansas supreme
court have received information to the
effect that the Pittsburg firemen, po-
licemen, city officers and jointists who
were fined for violating an order Of the
supreme court, are preparing to pay
their fines.
The decision Of the court ordering the
fine for contempt was issued the first
week in October and the twenty day
limit in which the jointists and the
city employees have to file motion for
a new trial and get a stay of execution
does not expire until the end Of this
week.
However the indications are that no
attempt will be made to get new trial
or appeal the case. The clerk Of the
supreme court has received letters from,
many of the city employees and some of
the tointists asking when and to whom

WELCOME TO TAFT.
Gov. Patterson's Address at the Re-
ception in Memphis.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 27.-Gover-
nor M. r. Patterson in welcoming
President Taft to Memphis, spoke in
part as follows:
1.-The administration of President
Taft began at a time which was most
suspicious for himself and his coun-
try. The unrest which followed the
war with Spain had abated-the deli
ate problems which arose and con-
fronted the government were either
solved or in process of settlement
there was peace in our distant possess
sions, the concord of our people was
never more manifest the solidarity of
the Union itself was never firmer
fixed
1.-THE south has no right to expect
more: there is no reason why she
should receive less than any other
portion OF the country.
I'VE believe that any president,
aside from the welcome he receives
from his countrymen, would be glad
to know the wants and aspirations of
the people, and we believe this is es-
pecially true of President Taft"
Governor Patterson then discussed
deep waterways, predicting that the
proposed channel from the lakes to
the gulf sis the promise of trade
which will one day cover every ocean
with American ships"

Talks to Texans on Advantage
of Good Roads.
PROFITABLE TO ALL.
Improved Highways Benefit City
and Country.
Create Closer Social and Bust
ness Relations.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 27.-B. F. Yokum,
chairman Of the board of directors OF
the Frisco-Rock Island railway, was the
chief speaker of the prosperity day. ex-
ercises at the State fair today. Touch.
ing upon the subject of goods roads, he
said:
Human nature is the same all over
the world. When a boy sees the bust
ness methods of a railroad, mercantile
or manufacturing business. as COM
pared with the rural districts, his ambi-
ton naturally prompt him to seek a
change. Farming conducted under busi-
ness methods and improved public high
ways will go farther than anything else
TO keep the young people from deserving
the country to seek employment in
towns.
The Improvement of public roads will
enable people living in town, with the
advantage of better school facilities, to
carry on their farms. With an autono-
bile the farmer who lives ten miles from
town can make the trip within thirty
minutes. or in one hour by a good team.
Good roads will bring closer together
the rural and town people. They will
create closer social and business rela-
lions between the country and the
towns.
Bringing the communities closer to-
gether. and thus establishing closer So
cial and business relations, will be a
step forward. and will tend to bring
about the aid which the farmers need
from the merchant. the banker and the
public generally, and in every way
create conditions more profitable to ALL -

TROUBLE IN SIGHT
Standard Real Estate Company Must
Answer to Courts.

The officials of the Standard Real
Estate and Loan company. a Wash
ington, D. c.. concern with western
headquarters at Dallas. Tex. are in
danger Of both the Kansas supreme
court and the United States courts.
The United States postoffice Depart
ment has taken UP the matter of the
recent actions of the company in Kan
sas with the attorney general and If
the supposed violations of the postal
laws are found through the violation
of the orders of the state supreme
court, the Washington company will
receive a heavy fine from the federal
courts.
Last July the Kansas Supreme court
issued an order prohibiting the business
of the Standard Real Estate & Loan
company to be transacted in this state.
1t was claimed in the first place that
they did not have any charter and in
the second place that they were making
contracts with Kansas people under false
pretenses.
Since this order the company has
been using the United States mails in
their business affairs in this state and
through information received from the
federal government this afternoon it Is
thought that proceedings will follow an
investigation at once. W. j. Ricken-
bacher of this city was an agent of the
company in Topeka. but it is not known
whether or not he made any contracts.
