COIN STRIPPING PRACTICED.
Secret Service Men Find Scheme Is
Worked in New Way.

New York, July 25.-Secret service
agents who have been at work in the
Maiden Lane jewe1ry district have
found new sort of coin stripping, by
which gold is obtained from coins and
sold, the coins being put back into cir
culat1on, apparently as good as ever.
The new process consists in placing the
coins in burlap bag, which is shaken
vigorously. Thus tiny flakes of metal
are knocked off the coins and cling to
the bag, which is then burned and the
gold melting into wee ingots.
The treasury department at Wash
ington has been getting back of late
large quantities of gold coins, which
seemed more scratched and battered
than ordinary. Under the microscope,
it became evident that these coins had
been handled with strange violence.
Special agents were sent here to in
vestigate and soon uncovered the in
dustry of shaking the coins in burlap
bags.

MACHINIsr GETS KINGS MEDAL.
Given Recognition for Saving Lives i'm
Maritime Service.

Yonkers, N. Y, July 25.-Thomas
A. BroadbeRt, a slender young Eng
lishman, who came to work as a ma
chinist in factory here six months
ago, has just received kings medal
from the British government in recog-
milton of his having performed the
most heroic act of the year 1909 in
all the English maritime service"
Broadbent was on the ship Fantee,
which left Liverpool August rs, 1903.
for the west coast of Africa. Off
Cape Palmas, Liberia, the ship ran
upon a reef and it became necessary
for all hands to get to work shifting
cargo. The cargo included some jars
of acid, which when mixed with water
generated a deadly gas. In a lower
ships carpenter, the captain and the
first mate, inhaled the gas and drop
ped dead. Three seamen who were
Just outside the death zone, fell I'M
conscious. When this was discovered.
there were calls for volunteers to bring
back the living. Broadbent volunteer
ed and with a rope about his middle
was lowered into the chamber of
death. One at a time, he brought the
three sailors to the fresh air and then
barely conscious he was lowered again
at his own request to bring up the
captains body.
This time he collapsed and was de-
nrious for five weeks. The ship itself
was subsequently, succored by another
British vessel and Broadbent came TO
this country.

Covering Forty Different Kinds
of Errors and Crimes.
In LAST FOUR YEARS
Six Hundred Cases Filed and
Tried in Court of Topeka.
Sixty-One Cases Appealed
Judgment Sustained in As.

Would you be surprised to know that
during the past three years forty diff
ferent kinds of crimes have been COM
nitted in Shawnee county. AS a gen.
eral rule Kansas people are pretty
good lot as a whole but there are some
naughty folks here.
Since E. r. Simon has been judge of
the court of Topeka, ISL criminal cases
have been fled, 260 of which were
fought out in open court. There were
Topeka during that time, and 339 were
contested, that is, the defendants en-
ployed a lawyer and fought the case.
Well, at any rate, the people of To-
peka have had an average of three
QuarrelS or miSdemeanOrs every day
during the time Simon has been judge
of the court of Topeka. The remark
able feature of it all is that of the 131
D1isdemeanors tried before Judge Simon,
but IL have been appealed to the district
court, of this number he has been re-
versed but in five cases, in four of which
the defendants we're acquitted by jur-
les
OF the 339 civil cases tried and decid-
ed by Judge Simon. 40 have been ap-
;Eealed 10 the district court and decided
there. In 40 of these cases Simon's de-
cision was sustained. In Kansas, and
for that matter in any other state in
the Union there is a well established
conclusion that if q judge has so per
cent or his cases sustained IN the nlSilef
courts he has a remarkable record
Simon's record teatS that. Over 10 per
cent of his decisions have been sustain
ed by the higher court.
Two cases, O'Meara VS.. Heer and
Andersen VS.. Heslett, the first case
to recover a real estate commission
and the last a replevin suit. were car
ried to the supreme court of this state,
and there both cases were affirmed.
Credit is due and must he given to
Judge Simon for this splendid showing
in the court of Topeka" said Robert
Stone today "One must conclude that
this exceptional record is due to the
fact that Simon knows law and knows
how to settle controversies according to
the merits of the case"
This showing explains the general
sentiment that Simon has made good.

he was struggling in the water in an
effort to disentangle himself from the

GIBBONS
For Representative
(From the st. Marys STAR

The many friends of ]. w. Gibbons
of Topeka. in this vicinity will hear
with pleasure of his candidacy for the
nomination for representative from the
Thirty-fourth district, comprising the
second. third and fourth wards of To-
peka, and our Shawnee county readers
should give him a solid vote
Gibbons is widely known in every
county of the state, in fact has gained
considerable reputation beyond the
state lines for solidity of character and
personal worth which is rarely equaled.
In every direction in which he has
turned his talents there has always
been manifested a readiness to place
his ability in the positions of highest
trust and responsibility.
Such men are rarely induced to
make the fight for political office but
once secured, they make the best Of
ficials. In fact, he is not a man who
will go into factional fights He has
always been big and broad enough to
see the good features of conflicting is
sues and although he forms definite
and firm conclusions of his own. these
are never permitted to personally an
tagonize those who in conscience felt
called upon to think otherwise.
