TO GIVE MUNSON HELP.
Fresh Air Camp Wants Another Tent
in Order to Do So.

Another tent or the gift of enough
money, say SIS. to purchase and fit one
for occupancy, will save Charles Munson,
boy of 19, from being sent to the county
farm, for such present will enable the
Anti-TuberculosiS society to care for him
at the fresh air camp near Garfield park.
Munson has serious case of consumption.
He is at the fresh-air camp now but the
managers have been violating one of their
own rules by putting him in the same
tent with another patient. The funds of
the society are so low that there now is
only about enough money in sight to run
the camp for another month.
In the hope that some agency would
provide for Munson'S care in the place
where he belongs and save him from go
Ing to the poor farm where there are no
special provisions for treating tuberculosis
patients, the boy has been left at the
fresh air camp for a few days. Had the
county commissioners any authority to
spend money in that way they could be
induced to buy tent for the sick boy but
that seems to be out of the question. 1t
therefore rests with the generous impulses
of the county whether the boy goes to the
poor farm or not.
Superintendent G.. w. Belts says that
he will do the best he can at the poor
farm if the boy is placed there, but Poor
Commissioner G. N. Bacon is anxious to
keep him in the tuberculosis camp where
he may have the best possible chance of
recovery. Munson is very i'll but DIR.

SURE 1T IS A WOMAN.
Experts in Crippen Case Find Evil
dence of Surgical Operation.

London, Aug. lit is reported to-
day that the authorities have discov-
cred a clew to the identity of the body
unearthed in the Hildrop Crescent
home of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, now
under arrest in Quebec awaiting extra
dftion on the charge of having muir
dered an unnamed woman. The po-
lice have commended all along that the
pieces of flesh were parts of the body
of Belle Gilmore, the actress wife of
DR.. Crippen, but their identification as
such has been a matter of much
doubt. 1t is generally believed that
the case of the crown rests on a posi-
tive identification and the greatest i'm
portance is attached to the latest de-
velopments. The hopeful clew was
obtained during an exhaustive exam
nation of the body made by Professor
Pepper, the home office expert, who
had previously given many hours to
the problem.
During the five hours that he worked
Prof. Pepper obtained conclusive evil
der1ce that the sex was feminine. He
then continued with the purpose of de-
terTnining the manner of death, having
in mind the possibility that poison was
used. The analysis, so far as the poison
theory is concerned was not compile
ted today, but it was reported that the
physician found evidence that at some
period the Woman had undergone a
surgical operation. If this can be es-
tablished, the authorities will claim
they have gone a long way in proving
that the victim was Belle Elmore. The
inquest will be resumed on Monday.

FAKE ALARM OF FIRE.
Report of Burning Lake Steamer
Causes Great Excitement.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Widespread con-
sternation prevailed in the shipping
and excursion boat district for three
hours today due to wireless reports
that ship was on fire 20 miles north
west of Chicago.
Friends and relatives of thousands
of persons thought to be on excursion
trips, kept the telephones to newspa-
pers steamship offices and wireless
companies busy with inquiries.
Before the truth was ascertained
every boat running out of Chicago on
the Chicago Saugatuck line, where the
fire was reported, had been accounted
for as safe. The big steamers equip
ped with wireless all received reports
to look out for a burning vessel and
all changed their courses for the pur-
poses of rendering assistance.
After three hours of excitement the
first authentic news was received
through Fire Marshal Koran of the
Chicago fire department. The mar
shall reported that the ship about which
there had been so much concern was
proceeding under her own steam for
Chicago. The fire tug Greame Stewart
which had left the harbor on the re-
port of a fire accompanied her. The
boats name was made out to be the
Flora Hill.

PROBE SALE OF STOCK.
County Commissioners Bring Suit In
voIving Railway Deal.

With H. B. Kelly, Gilbert c. Kelly
E. f. Jordan, the Bank of Topeka,
John r. Mulyane and the Missouri Pa
cific railway as defendants, suit has
been filed in the Shawnee county dis
trict court by the board of county
commissioners, represented by John J.
Schenck, county attorney. The suit is
to bring into court the inside history
of the sale of the stock of the par
value of $4,000 of the Kansas, Colo
RADIO g. Pacific railroad. which was
conducted by the firm of Kelly &
Kelly.
In 1891 Shawnee county received
this block of stock in exchange for
bonds which had been issued by the
county for the benefit of the railway.
The stock was of greatly impaired
value. In May, 1909, the county au-
thorized Kelly & Kelly, as agents, to
sell the stock for 20 per cent of it's
par value or more, the agency to be
allowed one-half of all received in
excess of $4,000. Some time later
the Bank of Topeka notified the coun-
ty treasurer that $4,000 was placed
there to the county credit. Later, the
bank sent a second notification that
$500 had been transferred to Kelly
& Kelly.
1t now is alleged on behalf of the
county that the deal was not conduct
ed in the countys interest, but that
all the defendants operated together
in the interest of the Missouri Pa
sific Railway company, which bought
the old Kansas, Colorado & Pacific
stock. E. F. Jordan, who offered to
handle the stock before Kelly & Kelly
did, is made q defendant. The county
sues for the entire face value of the
stock with interest on $4,000 at 8 per
cent from May 81, 1909.
