ONE JAIL BIRD CAUGHT.
Jay Steen Is Captured at RossviIle
Today.

Jay Steen, one of the three escaped
prisoners from the Shawnee Jail, and
considered by the officers the most
criminal OF the trio. was captured about
% O'Clock today at Rossville. a small
town Is miles west of Topeka.
Sheriff Norton received telephone
call from the town marshal at that
place shortly after the arrest. He at
orce sent Deputy Sheriff Ben Judkins
post haste to the Union Pacific depot to
catch The first train up. The prisoner
will be returned at once.
That the deputy will take no chances
with the Jail breaker was evidenced by
his hurried inspection of his heavy re-
volver and the taking Of two pairs OF
handouts.
1t has been the theory of the officers
that none of the escaping men would
venture far from the city until later, but
remain in hiding near Topeka. 1t was
stated today by the officers that they
thought Floyd Carter was still some
where in North Topeka. where his home
is located. 1t was at first thought that
he would attempt to reach a brother in
Colorado.
OF the three Steen would be the most
unlikely to get assistance through the

JUDGE IS REBUKED.
Mcpherson Is Criticised by Hook and
Case Is Remanded.

st. Louis. Oct. 30.-Because of re-
marks made to jury by Judge Smith
Mcpherson. of the United States
district court at Kansas CITY. the
United States court of appeals in ST.
Louis today reserved and remanded
the case of John F. Rudd. who had
been convicted of conducting a scheme
to defraud.
Rudd was accused of using the
mails in an effort to sell a patent
pump operated by a pendulum and
a spring lever. The records showed
that after the evidence was sub
mitted, Judge Mcpherson said to the
jury:
mo man with the slightest de-
gree of intelligence above insanity
would say that this pump is pra ctical.
Any school boy would know better.
This man either is guilty of a
criminal act or he is an idiot, insane
and foolish. The defendant claims to
believe in his machine. If he does he
is an idiot. crazy. If he does not, he
is guilty.
The decision of the court of ap-
peals, written by Judge Hook says:
at is the province of a court to
his comments should be dispassionate
and guarded in order that the Jurors
may be left free to exercise their in
dependent Judgment

the professional.
So heavy was the nitrogiycerlne
charge, that the door of the heavy
postoffice safe was hurled through
the front of the building into the
street. The entire building front was
wrecked. No effort was made to mo-
lest mail matter, and the robbers
made a hurried escape following the
explosion which walked the residents.
Postmaster Davis today notified
Police Chief R. w. Eaton of Topeka
to be on the lookout for the men,
also sent reports to other towns in

Jamestown is only short distance east

when the race was declared off by the
officials. Only two other cars, the
Merceds. driven by wishart, and the
Atlas, driven by Knox, were on the
course to the end.
Although run under unsurpassed
weather conditions, the race was mar
red in its early stages by the stimuli

in its final period after the smaller cars
