MIR. MARSHALL is BACK.
says His Brief Visit at Wichita Had
Desired Effect.

Assistant Attorney General John
Marshall is back at his desk, after d
brief inspection Of Crawford county.
Mr.. Marshall opines that his brief visit
in wichita has had the desired effect,
and that Wichita will be good here
after. But of Crawford county, he IS
not so certain. He said today:
The Crawford county Jail is full Of
jointists and bootIeggers. There were
AZ of them inside looking out last ween.
One jointist was turned out because he
had the consumption and was a meE-
ace to the other prisoners, and / pre-
sumo he will go back to selling booze.
There are a number of places in Craw-
ford county where liquor is being sold,
and the sellers are hard to catch. A
lot of the otherwise ignorant foreigners
have patterned after the Topeka club
and conduct close corporation joints
where only members of their own clan
also doing business. The free-for-aIl
open joint is very scarce, but bootleg
ging is being done in cellars and kitten
ems Injunctions will be placed on the
alleged clubs and societies SOON
Those who believed Topeka to be the
driest spot in dry state may be
startled by Mr.. Marshalrs further
statement:
Liquor has been sold in Topeka dur
ing the past two weeks. Whether or
not the sellers had a government
license do not know
There are a lot of thirst sufferers
around Topeka who would like to get
some more definite information from
Mr.. Marshall. who speaks as one who
knows, but further aff1ant sayeth not.

ASKS TO BE LET ALONE.
Hartman Issues a Statement Which
He says Tells All.

New York. Aug 30-Mr- Hartman
has dictated the following statement
for the press:
Il am pursuing the course laid ou-
before 1 went abroad and advised by
the physicians I intended taking d
rest as soon as my responsibilities
would permit My treatment abroad
reduced my strength and vitality and
weakened my digestion The most ex-
pert physicians in Munich advised m :
to have an examination by surgeons as
a matter of precaution. This has been
done very carefully by Doctors Brewer
and Grille in conjunction with DR.. Wal
ter James and DIR. Lye, and the whole
result is that they find nothing serious
and renew the advice previously OBJ
tanned that 1 should have rest and nos
see many people at any one time and
this am trying to do.
This covers the whole case and later
on. if the representatives of the press
desire, and there is any purpose to bs
but now 1 ask that the surveillance OF
drawn, not so much on account of nly
family or myself, but that the coming
and going of any friends may not be
interfered with. 1 appreciate the in
terest shown in my welfare by the
press and by friends in all sections and
perhaps by some others. If there was
or should be anything serious L will let
the press know and as have never de-
ceived them I ask that the press now
withdraw its representatives and rely

CALLSIT GOLD BRICK.
Member of n. Y. Committee Tells
About the Direct Primary.

Albany, \. Y, Aug. 30.-''Direct
nominations as we have seen them
make the greatest gold brick that was
ever handed to a confiding people,
was the declaration today of Assem-
blyman Robert J. Conlxlin of New
York City, a member of the special
committee appointed by the last legis-
lature to investigate the question of
direct primaries and report to the
legislature of 1910.
Mr.. Conklin- said the committee
had completed it's investigation in
other states, which have direct pri-
mary laws.
THE people of New York state
the political anarchy that exists in
the middle western states. Direct
nominations have driven parties en-
tirely out of existence in many COM
munities.'
I'm Wisconsin these is no longer a
Republican party and a Democratic
party. There are several factions. the
most prominent of which are the stall
warts and the half breeds. The latter
are the followers of LaFollette and
the former are his opponents. Those
who were at one time Democrats have
disappeared and have gone into the
Republican party, so called, to vote
at the primaries. There are no longer
views of fraction leaders.
ITO some extent the same state of
affairs exists in Iowa and Kansas.
Time and again we met with the
expression from the biggest men in
the circles we visited for Gods
sake do not inhict this iniquity on
the state of New York.

HURT IN CAR COLLISION.
Mrs. Nolkemper of 724 Taylor Street
Thrown Down and Injured.

Mrs. Mary E. Nolkemper of 724 Tay-
Tor street was injured last night in a
street car collision on West Eighth ave-
nue. Two cars were going westbound
at the time and were running quite
close together. The first car stopped at
the Taylor street crossing and q mo-
ment later the second car crashed into
il from the rear. The passengers in
both cars were Jared considerably.
Mrs. Nolkemper. who is lame, was just
aIghting from the first car, when the
collision threw her against the door
Jam. She fell to the floor, and was
assisted to her home by two men who
got off at the same corner. Medical aid
was summoned and the doctors could
find no injuries that were likely to
prove serious.
1t is said that the conductor of the
rear car in collecting fares dropped q
coin on the floor of the front vestfbule.
The attention of the n1otorneer was
momentarily attracted. so that he did
not notice the stopping Of the front car.

Signed by j. P. Morgan and Is foE
$4,000.

Because ]. Pierpont Morgan & Co
desires to run railroad in Kansas, the
state is S4s,077.5O richer today. This
morning the law firm of Rossington &
Smith deposited a check for the above
named sum, signed j. 2. Morgan &
Co. and in return for the favor, Sec
rotary of State Denton has granted his
permission for the Chicago Great West
ern Railroad company to do business

safe to assume that the Chicago Great
Western is not paying $4,000 for the

will be decided in Judge Porterfelds
| court September I.
1t is stated by the attorneys here
| that Mrs. Barclay views her case as a
hopeless one since Lieutenant Cover
nor Gm9lich of Missouri honored the
requisition papers last Saturday after
noon. It was generally understood
that the reQuisition was the last string
on which Mrs. Barclay, based her
hopes. She had expected to have a
personal interview with Governor
Hadley through which she expected to
secure his refusal to honor the reQuisi-
ton Governor Had1ey was in Kansas
City this morning and although Mrs.
Barclay tried to secure a belated in
terview with him she was unsuccess-
full.
Mrs. Bieakley did not appear in the
court room this morning. Instead she
passed the morning with Marian
BIeakley at the home of Clarence
Trigg of the Juvenile court, in whose
custody the child has been placed
pending the decision of Judge Porter
field next Tuesday. Mrs Bleakley was
seen at the Trigg residence this morn
ing by State Journal representative
and she appeared happy and satisfied
with the present status of the case.
But she is showing the effects of her
Physicians say that she would not
have the physical strength to pass
through another ordeal for the posses
sion of her little child. While at the

Mrs. Bfeakley's neck, kissed her
mother and said in her childish inno-
cence that she wished there never was
another woman in the whole world.
Mrs. Barclay and Mr.. Gentry seem
resigned to their fate. Although their
case is now considered almost hopeless
they will fight hard for the possession
of the child and still have hopes
There will doubtless be much of the
sensational in the trial at Kansas City.
Mrs Barclay says that she will intro
duce much testimony to show that
Mrs. Bleakley is not the natural moth

the case was dismissed were Deputy

CANAL AS A FACTOR.

Sharply as army and navy men may
disagree about the best method of de-
Tending the Philippines, they concur in
the view that Pearl Harbor is invalu-
able as the site of naval base in the
Pacific. Hawaii was annexed to the
United States on July Z, 1898, four days
after the sea battle of Santiago and
more than two months after Dewey's
victory at Manila In the interVen-
ing time of eleven years has been spent
/ deciding that Pearl harbor should be
the main startegic base between the
Pacific coast of the United States and
the Pacific coast Of Asia. President
Taft having approved the report made
