persons in the grounds at one time.
Thls figure was greatly dfstanced by
messed by crowd, the minimum es-
innate of which was three million
persons, half of whom were believed
to be in Riverside park.
When daylight came most of the
advantageous spots had been selected
and pre-empted by persons who de-
sired either to make sure of seeing
the great naval parade themselves or
had an eye to speculation and pro-
posed to vacate their choice positions
on sufficient payment. Many of these
places had been occupied all night
even during the rain, which did not
cease until midnight Many brought
camp stools or boxes with them and
they were amply supplied with lunch
In expectation of a long occupation.
As the hour for the starting of the
naval parade drew near. prices for
seats on grandstands advanced. Seats
that were selling in the early part of
the week for 81 brought SO and 81 to
speculative dealers.
In the carly hours of the morning
there was a precipitate pilgrimage of
Sailors to get back to their warships
after their albright leaves of absence.
There are approximately $1,000 sailors
en- the war vessels in the river and
about half Of these hal shore leave
over night. The result was that every
subway and elevated train was we'll fill
ed with sailors wearing the uniforms
of many navies. All Of them were COM
PEELED to be hack on their ships a few
hours before the ceremonies began and
as most of them delayed their return
until the last moment there was a wild
scramble to avoid being peralized
While the police anticipated an
enormous crowd this afternoon, they
believed that it would be much larger
tonight when the greatest fireworks
display ever attempted will be set off,
the warships illuminated and forty
searchlights of a combined candle
power of two billion will make the
night dazzlingly brilliant.

COOLEY SOLD HENDRIX.
Big Pitcher Goes to Seattle for Five
Hundred Dollars.

Manager Dick Cooley last night an
rounced the sale of Pitcher Rhoddy
Hendrix to the Sattle club of the North
west League for $500. Hendrix will
probably leave within a day or two to
join that club. Shortly after supper last
night D. E. Dugdale. an old friend of
Cooley. who is owner of the Seattle
club, wired Cooley inquiring for an
extra pitcher. Cooley wired back that
he would sell Hendrix for $500 and the
deal was consummated within two hours
after it had teen started. Seattle is
in first place and the chances are that
the club will win the pennant, but
Dugdale wished to fortify himself with
some mora pitchers.
Cooley does not think that Hendrix
is up to the Western League standard.
He gave him a good trial extending over
the first half of the season. but Hendrix
fell little shy. Later he was loaned
to the Burlington club of the Central
Association, and his record was so good
that Cooley thought it wise to give him
another chance Yesterday. Hendrix
didn't make a good showing. Accord
iEgly wneu Duddale's wire came, Cooley
thought it q good plan to sell. Hendrix
was purchased from the Enid club in
1908 for $780,

The petition in all four cases de-
clares that the man mentioned and
the three newspapers have brought
out slanderous allegations against her
name for the sole purpose of injuring
and running her reputation The quot
ationS mentioned in the petition sug-
gest that Agnes Boss Thomas is a wo-
man of unchaste character and has
practiced in number of immoral
conducts.
The first petition is against Frank
Fitzwilliams of LeavenWorth. Mrs.
Thomas claims in her case that the
following words were spoken wilfully
and maliciously by Mr.. Fitzwilliams:
u can prove beyond a doubt that
Mrs. Thomas (meaning the plaintiff)
is woman of unchaste character.
and that she was intimate with
certain man when she and this man
were in Montana. She occupied a
berth with strange man In the
sleeper when she was bound for Ok
lahoma. I can establish this by Leav-
enworth parties. He was the man
she had out in Montana. His name
is Holbrook, civlI engineer. His
office is in Kansas City, Mo. Fur
thermore, I can establish by the at
torney whom she consulted before
she went to Brewster, Facts that she
is of unchase character"
On account of these so called false
and slanderous words the plaintiff
prays judgment for $4,000 actual
damages and S5U,UUU pun1L1Ne OF eA-
emplary damages-a total of $4,000
against the gentlemen who persisted
in telling what he claimed to know
about the case.
The second petition is still more SEN
sational 1t is a clipping from the
Leavenworth Times and judgment is
prayed against the owners. d. r. An
thony, congressman from the First dis
trict; D. r. Anthony, jr., executor of
the estate of D. R. Anthony sr.; Mrs.
D. r. Anthony, sr., and Maud Koehler.
The article was printed in the Leaven-
worth Times, September 26, 1908, and
reads as follows:
"Since her (meaning the plaintiff) di-
vorce she has been living in the west
and has been mixed up in several racy
affairs, one in particular, the Richards
divorce case in Kansas City in which
she referred to as Checkers From
the testimony in that case it was
shown that one night while out carous-
ing with Richards, Mr.. and Mrs. Humes
and others she had a pair of stockings
with very large checks in them so they
nicknamed her Checkers and the name
stuck to her"
Mrs. Thomas claims that this article
accused her of drunken HABITS, unchaSte
character, and bein~ in a drunken, vul-
gar mad lewd manner with men. She
says in her petition that the article Is
defamatory and libelous. For all this
she asks $4,000 actual and $50, 900 puni-
tive damages.

other vessels kept on between the men
of-war and the New Jersey shore. AS
the little craft passed the warships
fired a royal salute.
The Half Moon and the Clermont
went only as far as 10th street, where
the land ceremonies of the day took
place, including speeches by Governor
Hughes and others. While these were
in progress, the other vessels rounded
the head Of the warship line and re-
turned along the Manhattan shore.
The Half Moon and the CIermont will
remain at the foot of 10th street until
Wednesday.

ing close behind her under her own

was slight.

lowing from the Post of September 25.
| 1908:
"Since her (meaning the plaintiffO

other places and has led pretty fast
life it is said. In Kansas City she was
involved in the famous Humes case in
which reference was frequently made
to a pretty girl named Checkers.
Checkers was none other than Mrs.
Thomas
In this Mrs. Thomas claims that she
was pllc-d in the public eye as ,ca ling
an immoral and dissolite life in Wyom-
ing and for that reason she asks for
actual damages amounting to $25, 900
and pdi.tive damages amcun. ng to

comes in for $4,000 of the suit. Mrs.
Thomas claims that In his article he
meant to convey the impression that
she was guilty of immoral conduct and
that she had been guilty of i1nmora acts
and that her lame WAS involved in
scandal ami that he publication Of the
story was wilful, wanton and malicious.
The article from the Atchison Globe
rea-:> as follows:
"A few months ago Kansas City had
a scandal which affected R. F. Humes
Of the Humes Crockery company, owner
of the Premium Stamp store in Atchi-
ards. 1t was a tough story. One of the
women implicated went by the name of
Checkers 1t has recently developed
that Mrs. Thomas Gneaning the defend
anti was 'Checkers.'"
The clipped articles above just
about tell the story of tn eaffair into
which all of this scandal was placed.
The real life of Anges Boss Thomas
is simple enough and does not attract
nearly as much attention as her
alleged connections after she had
been divorced from her husband
From what can be learned from
Leavenworth parties today, Agnes
Boss Thomas is the daughter of the
former Rev Boss. who was at one
time pastor of the Congregational
church in Leavenworth. Agnes was
a very beautiful girl and attracted
considerable attention for that rea-
son. She married a man named
Thomas who was a cousin of the for
mer manager of the Southwestern
Fuel company in Topeka They were
divorced and the courts gave the boy
to Mr. Thomas. She made attempts
to regain the child, according to the
stories told. Mrs Thomas is now
about 29 years of age and is a hand
some woman.

MAGNETIC STORM.
Aurora Borealis Disturbs Wire Service
Throughout the Country.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-violent electrical
earth currents believed to emanante
from the aurora borealis today ris-
| turbed the telegraph service over the
| the ticking of the instruments in the
great offices of the big telegraph COM
I panies.
When the drift of the currents no
ticeable in cities, from San Francisco,
Seattle, Omaha, through Chicago,
Cleveland and Pittsburg to New York
was apparently to the east, its strength
was little more pronounced in one sec
ton of the country than another.
The currents were first felt about 5
o'clock in the morning and increased
in intensity for two hours, reaching the
heaviest wave at 7:10 a. m, when all
standstil1. The force of the disturbing
currents was SO great that fuses were
blown out and resistance lamps light
ed up brilliantly.
Shortly after z o'clock the currents
began to subside and intermittent serv-
ice was resumed. The conditions at 3
O'Clock were fast becoming normal.
Professor David Cuthbertson, in
charge of the local weather bureau,
declared that the phenomena was due
to the aurora borealiS, which, he said,
always accompanied high pressure
in atmospheric conditions. No reports
have been received today in the local
weather bureau from north of Ne
braska. The center of the magnetic
storm, the weather bureau declares, is
in Manitoba.
Disturbance Lasts Three Hours.
New York, Sept. 25.-For nearly
three hours today the telegraph, tele-
phone and cable service of the eastern
portion Of the United States was in
terrupted by severe electrical storm
which generally accompanies display
of the aurora borealis.
The disturbance was first manifest
ed east of New York at $50 a. m,
temporarily preventing the operation
of most of the cables and wires. The
magnetci influence moved rapidly
westward and disappeared so that by
$3.50 a. m. communication was again
established.
Queer State of Weather.
Ogden, Utah, Sept. 25.-Unusual
meteorological conditions prevail In
this part of Utah The weather has
suddenly changed from the frost con-
ditions of fall to that of balrny spring,
although the sky has not been over
cast and all signs of storm have ben
absent for ten days.
Local electricians and wire chiefs at
the telegraph and telephone offices re-
port heavy electrical disturbances.
Western Union wire chiefs attribute
the "earth currents" to the aurora
borealis, which is now visible, illumin-
ating the northern heavens to the
zenith with streams of white light.
The heavy electrical wave was first
felt in the local offices at o'cock this
morning.
