high school authorities. The teachers
as a whole seem to be for the boys.
This frat man" thought, however,
as did one or two others, that ali of
the members of the secret organiza-
tons should be brought to time. They
thing to break the state law, but they
are of the opinion that the punish
ment given the four boys was too
harsh and unjust.
The school authorities say that
they are exerting every effort to get
information which will lead to secur-
ing the necessary proof to show that
other individuals are frat" members.
A difficulty Is that there are some of
the parents who will swear that their
sons and daughters are not connected
with secret organizations simply in
order to prevent their suspension.
One of the boys stated that there
is one youth who is anxious to be
suspended on account of the vacation
that he would get, but that~he hadn't
as yet found the proper method of
proving that he is a fraternity men,
Der.
1t is known fact that the boys are
careful while around the high school
not to display their pins, but that as
soon as they are out of sight they
wear them in conspicuous places.
There are some of the members of
the societies who are considering the
fact that the school authorities are
not raking in the rest of them, in the
light of a joke.
Just as a matter of interest we
print again the vote as it stood on
the matter Of suspension: The ayes
were Nicholson, Kutz, Lynn, Ander-
son, Cuthbert, Hardy, Poole, Norton,
and the nays were Smith, Evans,
SwendsOn and Jordan

in Springfield, ILL.,, in December by
Walter Fearn. ar agent of the COM
pany
The picture Of a colored lad taken
from her grip by Deputy Judkins was
claimed by the woman to be that of her
son, Willard David D. Troy This pic
ture is identified by Mr. Hamilton, the
undertaken. as the lad he buried.
But Mrs. Eva Baker of Kansas
City was placed on the stand and
swore that the picture Is that of Harry
Marshall. her nephew. whom Mrs. Troy
lured away from his home to travel
over the country and whom Mrs. Troy
told her few days ago she had left
in an excellent place on farm
near Chicago.
Moreover. the real Willard Troy who
is insured in the Metropolitan and who
is a stepson of the accused woman in
Home in Kansas City before he went
to Springfield, ILL.,. where the Metro
politain agent got his picture. Willard
Troy has a sister in Springfield, Mrs.
o Harrison. This sister told the agent,
Walter Fearn. he testified that she had
received a letter of coincidence from
the matron of the orphans home in
sympathy for the death of her brother
Willard in Topeka. Yet Willard was
present at the conversation with Mrs.
Harrison.
Since being arrested, Mrs Troy has
stated that she had two sons, Willard
Troy, a stepson, who is alive. and Will
lard David D. Troy, another stepson
who was buried here November Z. Upon
that statement Mr.. Fearn wired to the
stepdaughter. Mrs. Harrison, asking her
If it was true that Mrs. Troy had a
son named Willard David D. Troy and
he showed a telegram on the stand
from that lady denying any such per-
son.
Mr.. Fearn also explained why moth
ing had been done concerning the death,
OF apparent murder of Jessie Watson in
Kansas City. "Dr. Unthank told me-
he said. "that he was called and hurried
to the house to find the child dying of
arsenic poisoning and told Mrs. Troy
so. He also informed Judge Porter
field of the criminal court in Kansas
City and there was some investigation
but the child had been buried before
they got around to do anything. You
know they don't mind the negroes much
in Missouri" The relation of Mrs
Troy and Jessie Watson was not told
but spoken of as a girl whose insur-
ance Mrs. Troy had collected.

closures before the coroner's jury that
within an hour and a half's hearing
County Attorney Sehenck jumped up
and, addressing himself to Coroner
Keith, said vehemently:
ttWhy go on at this time. You, as
coroner, have heard enough tic con-
vince you of the murder and to order
the boys body exhumed. The jury
has heard enough for the present and
L recommend to you, as county attor-
ney, that the body be dug up imme-
diately, today, and that the jury be
discharged and a competent chemist
be engaged to ana1yze the contents of
the boys stomach.
"And I also urge that an officer be
appointed to guard this woman should
she secure bail, lest the Metropolitan
have many more policies to pay in the
next month
In accordance, DR.. Keith has or
dered the body exhumed and the jury
to meet him at the Stonestreet & Ham
ilton undertaking rooms tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock to view the
body.
But aside from the charge of muir
der, there is a complicated charge OF
fraud in connection with the deaths
and the collection of the insurance,
| which, makes the crime even more
dastardly.
Coming to Topeka on the night OF
October % with a little girl and boy,
Mrs. Troy put up at the Washam
hotel. The children, according to the
testimony of Mrs. Robert Washam
owner of the hotel, romped and played
| in the halls that evening, but the next
morning Mrs. Troy sadly announced
that the boy, who was about Is years
old, was i'll. He died November g.
She collected the insurance of $532.50
on Willard Troy.

Sugar Markets In spite of the steadiness
of the New York markets, much quietness
has continued prevailing at all the ports of
the Island, owing to the higher pyetensions
entertained bv the holders of the last parcels
of desirable classes left for sale and a large
part OF which is in hands Of speculators, who
do not seem to be willing to part with their
sugars ut ruling prices.
The only sale reported this week is that
of q par eel of about 10000 bags centrifugals,
stored at this place, which changed hands at q
price which was not made::known. The market
cioees today very quiet aud nomlnai on the

Crop Neus: Tae on look for the coming
crop Is most promising, since no doubt can
be entertained, III view OF the quantity of
cane in the fields and the tRiIliant aspect OF
same, regarding a large output, which some
parties already assert will surpass that Of
this years crop, provided nO unforeseen
events occur and mar planters and cane
growers cheerful expectations.
The sunny hot days and copious rains Of
the past two or three months, have marvel
lousy couduced to the development OF the
cane, which exhibits almost everywhere a
splendid appearance, that ituparts the belief
tndt It's ylelu VIII be aOuuuah ana OF good
quality.
1t is as yet too early to advance any esti-
mate, even an approximate one, regarding
the probable ascendency of the coming crop,
but the general opinion is that it will also
be a very large one, and it would be really a
pity. if the cyclone whose approach has just
been reported, or any other one, should visit
the Island, at the moment when the cane is
develoDinp under such favorable conditions
Preparations for the coming crop are be-

Mrs. Bessie Knott was unable to
appear In Judge Donoyan's court, FRI
day morning, where the hearing TO
determine her fitness to have the Gus
tody OF her 4-year-old son was
scheduled to take place. Her attor-
ney, Louis Wurzer, reported to the
court that Mrs. Knott was seriously

over indefinitely. The attorney for
the husband. Frank Knott, protested
against a lengthy postponement, de-
claring that he was anxious to get the
