So the rebuke to Cannon by the

be opposed at the election, but they
are pretty sure to win by overwhelm-

Reno, New, Aug. 10.-Fire which
started in the change room of the Best
and Better Mining company yesterday
afternoon and ranged among the sur
face buildings of the company and
over the mouth of the shaft destroyed
the hoisting works of the mine and
all the surface buildings, causing a loss
which is at this time estimated at
$4,000. partially covered by insur-
ance.
Although the Best and Better shaft
is the uptake of all the Gold Hill
mines, work in the other properties
will not be interfered with. The cause
of the fire is unknown.
The residence of former Senator
Jones. which is on the hill near, caught
fire but was extinguished without
much damage.

HAS A BAD LOOK.
Daniel e. Coleman, Evangelist,
an Inhuman Monster.
Tried to Lure 17-Year. Old Girl
From HCme.
TELLS HER STORY.
Promised to Get Annie johnson
Place on Stage.
Wanted Her TO Furnish Money
to Leave City.

When he was bound over to the dis
trict court this morning on the charge.
of attempting to persuade 17-year-old
Annie Johnson of Highland Park to
leave home with him for immoral pur-
poses. Daniel L. Coleman, evangelist
and former circus man, furnished the
$500 bond required and was left at lib
erty until lime for his trial
At the beginning of his preliminary
trial today in the court of Topeka Cole
man essayed his own defense, question
ing Miss Johnson in very lawyer-like
manner as to the letters and conversa-
tlons between them. But he failed TO
shake the witness testimony that he
had urged her to leave town with him,
first to join a theatrical company and
afterWard simply as his companion.
After half hour of examination of
Miss Johnson and her mother, Mrs.
Bessie Smith, Coleman thought better
of his effort to defend himself and en-
gagged w. l. Jamison, well known
negro lawyer, to go ahead with the
trial After some delay while the at
torney looked up the case the trial
proceeded.
The most damaging testimony came
near the close of the hearing. The girl,
who is handsome and very mature
young woman, told of her own aspira-
ton toward the stage which she had
thought to further when first she be-
came acquainted with the evangelist
She had answered an advertisement in
which ne solicited the correspondence
of refined young women object matri-
mony." She met him by appointment
and heard his offer of a position with a
show He told her he would write
for transportation and, failing to get it,
asked her if she could not pay for rail-
road tickets for them both to Fort
Scott. Her mother had been brought
into consultation, the two women be-
came suspicious of Coleman's motives
and refused - listen to him further.
After that. said Miss Johnson, Cole
man adopted the custom of watching
for her to engage her in conversa-
tion on the street. The last long con-
versation occurred on Saturday after
noon ten days ago, when they walked
together to the Rock Island depot and
sat there for awhile.
There. she said. Coleman asked her
if she had the price of two tickets to
Kansas City and. finding that she did,
asked her to make the start.
''He said that if we got only as far
as Lawrence continued Miss John
son, "he could get enough money by

FUGITIVE WARRANT OUT.
Louisville Officers Have Another Plan
to Hold Vending.

st. Louis, Aug. 10.-The circuit at
torney's office, at the request of
Carney, issued fugitive warrant
against Vending. 1t will not be
served unless Vending is released on
the habeas corpus writ
Vending won the friendship Of
Alma Kellner. according to Carney, by
giving her and her schoolmates candy
and other presents, Carney said he had
received a long telegram from Louis
vile informing him parents of two of
the murdered girls schooImates have
told the police about the school jan
itor's treatment of the girls.
The parents hesitated about reveal
ing this. according to Carney, on ac-
count of the unpleasant publicity 1t
involved. Carney would not reveal
their names but said, they would be
witnesses against Vending when he
is arraigned for trial.

Many Red Mem Appear Before
the Congressional Committee
Investigating Senator Cores
Charges Of Attempted Bribery.
SIGNED CONTRACTS
Because They Were Impatient
at the Governments Delay.
They We're Willing to Pay Nc
Murray $4,000, 900.

McAlester, Ok, Aug. i0.-I4ittle il any
evidence bearing directly on the Gore
bribery charges was heard carly today
by the congressional committee investi-
eating Indian land affairs. Many In
dlans summoned tc testify concerning
their attitude toward the McMurray
contracts, repeated the testimony OF
previous witnesses that they signed the
contracts agreeing to a 10 per cent at
torneys' fees, because they were i'm
patient at the delay of the government
IN selling their land.
The 10 per cent if the contracts were
approved by congress, would allow Nc
Murray $3,000,000 of the amount which
senator L. p. Gore says a New York
syndicate is prepared to pay for the
lana. 1t was 20 influence him that Sem
ator Gore charged he was offered a
$250OQ to $4,000 bribe in connection with
the approval of the contracts.
Used Bottle of Ink
Six hundred Indians assembled at a
war counoiI' at Sulphur, Ok, and us
ing up almost an entire bottle of ink
wrote their signatures individually TO
the McMurray land contracts.
Although Informed that ). +. Mc1iur-
ray, holder of the contracts would net
profit of from $2,000,000 to S3.0O0,O00 in
attorney fees the Indians were ad-
vised that the contracts afforded the
quickest way to realize OH their land,
estimated to be 100000 acres in extent
and valued at from $4,000, 900 to $4O,-
e0O,o00- In addition to the land CON
tracts SfcMurray's agents had the In
Clans sign contracts for tax cases
against the government at fee of $40
head. The land fee was 10 per cent
contingent UPON the sale of the land.
James H. Godfrey Chickasaw In
dian by intermarriage, gave this testi-
mony before the congressional inves-
tigation committee today. Godfrey said
he induced the Indians to assemble at
Sulphur to persuade them to sign the
contracts, almost 10000 of which Nc
Murray previously had secured. Nc
Murray, he said, had been successful in
previous litigation for the Indians and
the Indians believed if they paid him
10 per cent attorneys fees he would
be able to urge the authorities at
Washington to expedite the sale.

BAD FOR PORTER.
Now Seems to he Beaten for
Supreme Justice.
Eighty-FOur Counties Have Now
Reen Heard From.

Returns from eighty-four counties
at noon today gave Porter, for supreme
court justice, 1926, and Graves, 49,
O90. But it is understood that Chero-
kee gave Graves a large majority
over. Porter and there are other
Graves counties yet to hear from. so it
would appear that the judicial nom
inees are West and Graves. The Por-
ter strength so far as known is all in,
and Justice Porter himself gives up
the nomination to Graves.
The defeat of Justice Porter for re-
nomination will be felt keenly by a
legion of admirers all over the state,
and especially here in Topeka. There
was no fight made upon Porter. He is
one of the able and strong men of the
Kansas supreme bench. But the peo
pie voted for justice as their fancy die
tated. The heavy majoritieS against
Porter were rolled UP in counties
where his name appeared third or
fourth on the ballot. The people did
not appear to have any choice for JUS
tice beyond the accident of the align
ment of the names of the candidates
in the ballot. Parker's vote is not far
behind that of Porter and Graves JUS
tice Porter made no campaign at all
for the nomination. acting in this re-
gard in keeping with the traditions of
the bench. Judge West, who ran far
dH6dQ OIL oil OpQOHeIltS IOT the place
on the bench, was not handicapped by
any precedent and made an active
campaign.
For state printer with eighty-three
counties reported there is nothing to
choose between Brown and Austin.
Brown has 30,310 and Austin, 30,S93.
1t now looks as though the returns
from the entire los counties will have
to be canyassed before the nominee
for state printer can be determined.
Cordry is out of the race.

understood, used to be a sailor before

natural that he drop into the phrase

metre in the above verse is a cross be-
tween Kipling and Stevenson's pirate
song. But the Wabaunsee county
farmer did not care. He used it any
way.
Dolley was the only old timer on the
Stubs campaign committee. He steer
ed the old three decker to the islands
of the blest. His work during the
bitter primary campaign entities him
to newspaper space for poetical pur-
poses, but the State Journal will not
agree to open its columns a second
time for anything but legitimate prose
stuff.
