WHAT is IT?
CAN'T KEEP A LOCKER

prohibition law aimed at clubs went
INTO effect in KANSAS today. At
torney General Jackson, father of

LEPER SMUGGLED AT NIGHT
ABOARD LINER IN NEW YORK.
Schooner That Bore Freisa Now
in JERSEY Port

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Brought here
with the utmost secrecy from the leper
colony on Penikese Island, Off the
Massachusetts coast. Tuesday night,
Antonius Freisa, q Greek, was placed
at midnight on the Argentina, of the
Austro-American line, n Is now on
his way to Greece.
Only the United States authorities,
the agents Of the steamship and the
master of the liner knew that Freisa
was on the way, the secrecy being
necessary for fear of a stampede of
passengers from the ship should the
news of a leper on board become
known.
For more than a year the United
States officers have sought means to
transport the leper to New York, and
have tried again and again to get a
vessel that would carry him here.
Captain Jesse Smith, the master Of
the Andrew G.. Pierce, a three-masted
schooner, at last offered to take on
the undesirable passenger at a high
figure, and a bargain was struck.
Freisa was taken on board the schooner
lying off the island last Friday night
without cargo.
taken to the Bush docks, South Brook
Ign, where the Argentina was berthed.
Freisa was hoisted up over the stern
In a sling and placed in the ships hos
pital aft and the schooner went on to
Grasselli, N. j., where a cargo OF
chemicals is now being loaded.

working hours from Q a. m. to 4 D. m.
The motion to adjourn was seconded,
blu former Sheriff John Zeller, of Hud-
son county, chairman of the election
board, refused to entertain the motion.
There Is oniy one more box to be
opened, and we can finish that up in
hall an hour" said Zeller.
I'VE can do that tomorrow" replied
Lahey. I'm going to quit when the
times up" and he arose to get his hat
and cave the committee room.
IF we come here again tomorrow 1t
will mean that we must be paid more
money. l don't propose to have any UNI
necessary expense saddled on the
county and the people. We can finish
the work now" declared zeller.
So Lahey resumed his seat and the

SEES PERIL IN LONDON'S ,
ARMY OF UNEMPLOYED.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The army
of unemployed in Great Britain has
grown steadily and has now reached
proportions that are causing the gov
eminent great u~neasiness. In a special
report, John L. Grifiths. United States
consul-general at London, gives extracts
from a special statement just issued by
the Royal Commission on the poor law
and relief of distress.
The commission declares that during
the fiscal year ending March 81 last the
number of those who were without
work and who sought government aid
totalled 81 persons in every 1000 of the
population, while in the fiscal rear pre-
ceding only IA out of each 1,00G made
application for assistance. The number
OF men who applied for relief in the last
fiscal year constituted 4 lilo per cent.
Of the workingmen of England and
Wales. while during the year ending
March 81, 1908, they constituted 2 lilo,
and the year preceding only 1 $40 per
cent. The restitution and absence OF
work for the unemployed is not confined
to London, but is general In practically
all OF the manufacturing cities and
towns in the United Kingdom.

We asked you to let our Brownie help

While this 1909 evidenced the largest bust
transacted in Topeka since the days of the Boom
and probably rstcass homes erected and
pied with goody share of business buildings still it is
opinion that the 1910 will eclipse that of 1909 and
judge from the fact that before in the history of
the real estate business Topeka have sites been
sold which buildings to be erected this Spring
sold last FALL and from the further fact that
million dollars worth of office and mercantile buildings
in of erection at this time and it is also opinion
that while values all properties have increased the past
several the value of property in Topeka today still
low lower than city of its size and Importance in
the United States, and will go higher.

MRS. H. GOULD WAS
APERFECT LADY
WHEN SOBER
But When She Got Drunk Her
Character Changed
PROGRESS SLOW IN CASE
Uniform Testimony of Witnesses Con-
tinue to how Her Habit Of
Excessive Drinking

New York, June 1.-THE spotlight
of the cross examiner continued to os-
cillate today in the trial of Mrs. How
ard Goulds suit for separation, from
the estate at Castle Gould to the st.
Regis notel the farm at Blue Gap, Va,
the Gould's yacht Niagara and back to
New York again; but except for those
moments when it fingered on Dustin
Farnum, it never got very far from the
buffers keys to the wine cellar.
There was visable an attitude of
the defense, which in this trial of
many surprises mas been curiously
shifted over to what is virtually the
prosecution to prove that Mrs. Gould
was not only so frequently under the
influence of intoxicants as to fall with
in the rulings of Justice Bowling that
she must be proved an habitual drunk
ard before her husband can be justi-
when she nad been drinking, her char
acter underwent a transformation for
the worse
Delaney Nicoll, counsel for the aus
band, was willing enough to adduce
testimony that the wife was affable
when herself, if only he could bring
her good nature into contrast by tes-
timony that tended to show her vio-
lent, abusive, uncertain in her motives
and confused in ner actions at those
moments when she was alleged to
have been drinking. There was no
abatement of her ordeal today and as
the burden of iteration grew heavier,
she shrank visibly or smiled broadly
or shook her head in amused smiles.
Melville Z. Chapman, a broker who
was a guest of the Goulds on their
yacht during several cruises of the
year 1905, was called. Several times,
he testified, he had seen Mrs. Gould
drunk and he described also several
alleged outbreaks, with emphasis on
the oNerDearlng manner OF the wife.
In the effort to discredit this wit
ness, Mr.. Shearn drew the ugly word
"blackmail" from Mr.. Nicoll and be-
came so much agitated at its applica-
ton to his own conduct of tne case
that for some moments he was unable
TO continue his cross examination. The
court ruled the use of the word often
sive and Mr.. Nicoll apologized for in
! Producing it but did not retraci it. On
the contrary, he reiterated that he
could prove it. Justice Bowling wish.
ed the incident closed, and it was so
considered before Nicoll had a Chance
to make good his assertion.
1t is probably that the case will con-
tinue for another week or ten days.

FRED Wn0OARD'
HOUSE AND BARN
BURNED
Totally Destroyed by Fire
Thursday Afternoon
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $4,000
One Thousand Dollars insurance
Fire Was Discovered by G. L.
Harbour and c. A. Wood

A house and barn on the Burgess
road about mile from the corpora
ton limits, belonging to Fred Wood
ard, were totally destroyed by fire
Thursday afternoon. The blaze was
discovered by Grant l.. Harbour and
c. A Wood who noticed smoke pour
ing from the roof near tne chimney
as they were driving by and decided
to investigate.
On entering the house they found
1t filled with smoke and fire burning
about the chimney. Scarcely any
water was to be had as the building
was situated some distance from the
spring from which the occupants
secured their water supply. The fire
soon gained considerable neadway
and was beyond control in a short
time
Several persons in the vicinity soon
gathered and directed their efforts in
saving the buildings of George Bur-
CESS which are situated just opposite
the road on the east side, from the
Woodland property. Luckily the wind
was from the east and drove the burn
ing sparks away from the Burgess
house, preventing 1t from being burn
ed
Tne fire was caused by a defective
fiue and when discovered was confined
near the chimney No one was in the
building at the time as Mr.. and Mrs.
Woodland work out and the children
who were left to mind the house, had
wandered away and knew nothing of
the fire until told by the neighbors.
Both buildings and contents we're
practically destroyed vita the excep-
ton of a quantity of furniture which
was saved from the lower part of the
house before the flames reached that
section of the building.
The total loss is estimated at about
$4,000 on which Mr. Woodland carried
an insurance of one thousand dollars.

WICKERSHAM WILL
! GET AFTER THE
SUGAR co.
earle's Attack Has Stirred His
Resentment
EVIDENCE is IN HAND
Prosecution to Be Directed Mostly at
Trusts Schemes to Defraud the
Government

Washington, June 17-Attorney
General Wickersnam had long con
ference today with President Taft al
ter hich he left hurriedly for New
YORK. No information could be Oh
tanned at the White House as to the
subject discussed or the occasion tol
the Attorney Generals sudden depar-
ture. At the department of justice
the same mystery that has marked
trat branch of tne government unde:
the new administration was maintain
ed.
There is ground for belief that the
attorney general is impatient over the
delay in getting final evidence in the
Sugar Trust investigation. 1t is
known that President Taft is deeply
Interested in this special bit of in
quiry now in the hands of the De
partment of Justice, and although
two special agents have presumably
been at work, no reports nave been
forthcoming, at least so far as the
public is advised.
In the last week or ten days the
Attorney General has been deeply
immersed in the study of a mass of
documentary evidence, and the belief
here is that a great part of this was
collected and submitted by George H
Earle, Jr, Receiver for the Pennsyl-
vania Sugar Refining Company. This
company, ii is charged. was deliber-
ately crushed by the Sugar Trust,
who saw in it a rival that might in
time become dangerous. Only short
time ago the trust practically ac-
knowledged its activities toward
eliminating its rival by returning a
large sum of money to the men it had
downed.
Mr.. Earle denounced the Depart
ment of Justice in scrathing terms,
and declared that there was no pos
sibility of getting justice under the
present administration of the depart
ment He wsRt further than attack
ing the department, and was quoted
as making a personal attack on Mr..
Wickersham, his motives, qand ais
former corporation connections. To
this attack the Attorney General
made no answer.
1t is not improbable. however, that
the investigation into the Sugar
Trusts methods will not deal so much
with its suppression of a rival as with
! its defrauding the Government in
weighing sugar at the port of New
York. This nas been acknowledged
and heavy restitution was made to
| the United States treasury by the cor
| poration. At the time the Cover n.
ment accepted the money from the
trust it specifically reserved the right
to prosecute it criminally at any time
the Administration might see fit.
