LEAVE 1T TO THE LAW.
Advice of Greek Minister TO His Coun-
trymen in Omaha.

Omaha. Feb. 22.-"Ieave it to the law
That is your protection" was the message
received today from L. A. Coro-Milas.
Greek minister to the United States. To-
Gated at New York City. by n. j. Man

was in answer to telegram sent Minister
Coro-Milas by Mr. Mandanis last night
informing him of the riots in South Oma-
ha in which a score of his countrymen
sustained personal injuries and thousands
of dollars worth Of their property was des-
troyed.
Mr.. Mandanis read the message from the
minister to a gathering of about 1000
Greeks on a street corner today and made
an address in which he counseled calm
ness. Another meeting was announced
for this afternoon at Baright hall, a large
auditorium in the business district OF
Omaha, al which other leaders of the
Greeks viii be speakers.
According to Mr.. Mandanis there are
about three thousand Greek residents or
Omaha and South Omaha. Practically all
those living in South Omaha have left the
town, many coming to this city There
has also been steady exodus of Greeks
from Omaha since the beginning of the
trouble yesterday, every train carrying
a large number away.
1t is estimated that the property dam
age done by last nights riots will amount
to about $4,000. OF the twenty or more
persons who received injuries, none Is re-
ported in a serious condition. All is quiet

What is probably one of the most
remarkable postal card messages
which has ever passed through the
Topeka mails, was received Saturday
from "Briton" (J. ID Jones' u former
Topeka character, by the Shawnee
State bank. The card was post
marked Telefack. This is a town in
Wales, British Isles. the native home
of Mr.. Jones. When he was here he
was regarded as insane, and spent
some time in asylum and the mis-
sive gives striking evidence of an un-
balanced mind. He refers to ex-State

wronged. In addition he inquiries
about His Wife and Boys His
wife is supposed to have died in the
asylum here several years ago, and
Just after his younger son. Willie, was
stolen from his home at Bala. Kan,
while the father was absent.
These things seem to have further
unsettled the fathers reason which
was never regarded as very sound.
After that he began to charge Judge
Harvey, according to report, with
having sent his wife to the asylum to
obtain her money and also that he
was connected with his boys dis
appearance. He also accused DR.
Eastman, in charge of the asylum at
the time, with not having given out
the report of his wife's death until
some time after 1t occurred and that
no one could learn the cause of her
death He further claimed that his
wife was not dead and that DIR.
Eastman was also after her money.
He haunted the state house, asking
the officials for money which he said
was due him from the state. A loss
of his farm near Bala through non
payment of taxes, probably gave him
this notion.
Finally he was sent to the asylum
terwards he was released and re-
turned to Topeka. Some time later
he announced his intention of visiting
Wales and left.

first heard from him. 1t was ad-

LUCAS FILES HIS ANSWER.
Claims He Didn't Force Payment
From Albert Sutermeister.

Ex-Sheriff A. T. Lucas has filed his
answer to a $4,000 damage suit brought
by Albert Sutermeister in the Shawnee
exsheriff contends that he did his duty
in causing the arrest Of the plaintiff
and that his actions throughout the
course of the case were proper and
within the law.
The trouble started over two years
ago when Albert Sutermeister was
charged with the embezzlement of
s465.S4 from the funds OF the Provident
Savings Life association of New York.
A warrant was issued for his arrest
and Sheriff Lucas wired the sheriff OF
Hardin county, Ohio. to arrest Suter-
meister and hold him on the charge OF
embezzlement.
This was done and Sheriff Lucas
made the trip to Ohio after his man
who refused to return to Kansas with
out requisition papers These we're Sc
cured but in the meantime the wife OF
plaintiff secured the sum of the alleged
defalcation and rendered it to the
sheriff plus the costs in the case. the
entire amount being $734.54. Upon the
adviceof the assistant county attorney
Sheriff Lucas accepted the amount and
paid the shortage claimed by the Provi-
dent Life association. the difference In
the amounts representing the costs In

contends that the money was paid to
him voluntarily and that there was no

The career of Rev. Mr.. Nau is unique
and interesting. He left a paying po-
sition as an artist to enter the minis
try. 1t is not improbable that the in
huence from his early environments may
have had something to do with the
change of profession later in life.
He was born July 20. 1882. in Enfield,
England, a suburb of London. His
home was almost in the shadow of St.
Andrews church, a famous old build
Ing which dates back to the days of
the Normans. In this church he was
baptized and attended services.
From early childhood he showed an
aptitude for drawing When IA years
old he entered one of the best art
schools in London. In this city he fol-
years, making speciality of ecclestias-
tical designing and interior church dec
orations. In this way he came in con-
tact with church officials. He was also
a secretary of a local society for mis-
sion work in the London suburbs.
In 1905 the "call of America came
to him, and in January of that year, he
landed in New York. There he follow
ed art work and incidentally helped
organize boys clubs in the Bronx un-
der the famous Bishop Greer. He also
acted as lay reader in an Episcopal
church and assisted in Sunday services
for the prisoners on BlackWell's island,
near New York
During this time he decided to give

the call from the Episcopal church for
men in the west. Mr.. Nau offered
his services and he was placed in
charge of the Church of the Good Shep-
herd by Bishop Millspaugh, and came
here in January. 1906. Since then he has
carried on the work of the church and
has studied for the deaconship. Dur
ing the time, the church has been fair
~ prosperous, considering the reverses
caused by the flood of last spring.
Fifty books from the state travelling
library will be placed in the Shorey
school house the first of this week. This
will be the nucleus of a free library
conducted by the Sunday school and
public school. A nominal charge of 81
for the use of the books for six months
will be made by the state travelling Ii
brary association. This rate holds all
over the state for the use of the books.
The Shorey people hope to add per-
manent books to their library through
donations. 1t is likely that entertain
ments will be given by the school to
raise a fund to buy books.
No charge will be made to individ-
uals for the use of the library, the
Sunday school and other school paying
the fee mentioned. Miss Minneta Loop
has been appointed librarian. While
arrangements have not been compile
ted yet it is very probable that the
library will be open one hour each
week.

farm and moved to Usage City where
Mr.. Jones worked in the coal mines.
Here, the story goes, Mrs. Jones de-
posted another sum in the bank.
There were two children in the
family now. The younger, Willie, sup
posed to have been afterwards alb
Quoted, and another son, who is
thought to be living near Tecumseh at
present. 1t is rumored that Judge
Harvey then influenced her to deed
her property to Willie, in case any
thing happened to her.
About this time some reports were
that her husband became cruel to her
while others say he was very kind.
However, It appeaEs=she became. mel
onchoIy and was adjudged insane. She
was taken to the state asylum at To
peka. This was some fifteen years
ago Then the husband began to make
irregular trips between Topeka and
Usage City and Bala. While in To-
peka he boarded with the family of
Robert Davis, who then kept board
ing place near the Seymour packing
plant. On his trips Jones would Of
ten take his children, but sometimes
left them at home. On one of the lat
ter occasions, Willie disappeared. He
was then probably about eight years
old The manner of his leaving home
is a conjecture. AS far as is known.
the mystery of his departure and of
his present whereabouts, has never
been cleared. However, the father
CANNED IndC Ln0 DOy was p0Q
so that his abductors might get hold
of the money due the child. About
this time, Jones, who had always been
regarded as very eccentric, began to
give further symptoms of an unbal-
anced mind.
The symptoms were increased by
two caIamities, which happened about
the same time. His farm was seized
for taxes. according to report, and he
learned that his wife had died at the
asylum. 1t was claimed by Jones
that DIR. Eastman, who was in charge
at the time, did not inform him of her
death until some time after it occur
red, and that nothing could be ascer-
tanned as to the cause of her death.
He further claimed she was not dead.
He also haunted the state house Of
ficials, demanding money which he
said the state owed him. 1t is stated
that he accused Judge Harvey of
sending his wife to the asylum so that
the latter could get her money. At
before a public meeting and denounc-
ed the state officials, and was silenced
only with difficulty He was arrested
for threatening bodily harm to state
officers
Finally he was adjudged insane and
sent to the Osawatomie asylum. He
was released in a year or two and re-
turned to Topeka. Up to the time of
his leaving he cut trees and did other
odd Jobs He is said to have lived in
rooms in an old stone house on Park
street Then after announcing his in
tention to visit Wales, he left Topeka.
He has not been heard from until he

SHIP YARD CLOSED DOWN.
Manager at Shooters Island Says
American Laws Are Responsible.

New York. Feb. 22.-One thousand
men were thrown out of work by the
closing of the Shooters Island ship
yard at Mariners Harbor, Staten
Island. The yard which has one of
the best equipped plants in the coun-
try. was closed on Saturday night.
Explaining the reason for shutting
down Robert Legeris. the superin-
tendent, said that the laws here were
killing American ship building and
that it was impossible 10 build ships at
a profit under them any more. He
said the only salvation for American
ship builders must be in passing a
subsidy law and until such law was
passed the plant will remain closed.
