ANEW KIND OF FORGERY.
Woman May Be Arrested for Falsify.
ing Consent to a Marriage.

That charge of the Justification of a
signature appended to the formal con-
sent of a mother to the marriage of her
minor daughter will make a second
chapter in the troubles of the Smith
Cole family, appears probable in view
of the assertions made in the probate
court by Edwin c. Smith. He had
come in to investigate the circum-
stances of the marriage of his STEP
daughter, Fannie Cole, to William Nc
Donald on August 26. Two days pre-
vious to that marriage Smith had
been discharged in the court of Topeka
at his preliminary hearing on an as
sault charge based upon alleged rela-
tions with the girl.
An effort is now being made by
Smith to have prosecution brought
against Ruby Golfer, the girls aunt.
for the forgery of the signature of the
girls mother on her marriage consent
paper. Ruby Golfer was one of the
principal witnesses for the prosecution
in the court of Topeka, where she made
her evidence as unfavorable to him as
possible. This rather involved story is
about follows:
Smiths family consisted of himself.
his wife and her daughter, girl whose
age was given in court the other day
as IA years. The girls grandmother
and aunt were active in the prosecu-
ton which was dismissed the other
day, while his wife evidently was on
his side. The girl was alleged by her
mother to have been inspired to the
charges by her aunt and grandmother

Washington, Sept. AFTER con-

would pay the hospital expenses of the
government employees injured in fight

1t is estimated that the expenses will
amount to about $1,000 which will be
paid out of the contingent relief fund
of the Red Cross. Had it not been for
this decision on the part of the Red
Cross, the employees would not only
have lost their wages during the time
of their confinement in the hospitals,
but would have been required to nay
their own hospital expenses as no gov

Cooley Says That He Will Sell
1t Soon.
ILL COMEOUT AHEAD
Says Sale Of Players Will AVert
Financial Loss.
Never HAS Made More Than
Living" Out OF Team.

Repeated rumors that the Topeka
ball team of the Western league has
been sold to Joplin was denied today
by Manager Dick Cooley. He con-
firmed the statement that negotiations
are pending and may be closed at any
time Nevertheless. he said that the
negotiations concern others beside the
Joplin offer. It is said that the price
offered by Joplin for the franchise Is
the most acceptable to Cooley of any
that has been made.
Cooley admitted that there un-
doubtedly will be sale OF the cruz
before the close of the season-a fact
that has been surmised for some time,
though not known authoritatively. In
the event that the club is sold-whlcn
seems to be foregone concluslon--

ment. He said that he has several OPP
portunities elsewhere which appeal 10
him and intimated that it is not I'M
probable that in the transfer OF the
Topeka franchise to some other town
he will retain an interest in It.
Whether Cooley will retain an interest
In the transferred club or buy another
franchise, according to his statement,
hangs in the balance.
Making a defense of his intended
action, which has been scored heavily
by Topekans, Cooley said that he had
been able by transferring the home
games and selling a lot of his players
to come out of the season with money
In his pocket.
''If / had not sold the players and
transferred the games 1 would have
been $4,000 or $1,000 loser on the sea-
son." he continued. 1.-THE people seem
not to understand that the PROPOSE
ton is a financial one with me. 1t

A MUCH WANTED MAN.
H. G. Welsh May Have to Answer
More Charges.

From information furnished by the
Union Pacific railways detective de-
partment, Sheriff Jonathan D. Norton
believes he has a much wanted man
in tail now in the person of H. c.
Welsh, who arrived in Topeka early
this morning in the custody of Deputy
Sheriff Ben Judkins, coming from the
Riley county Jail. In Topeka Welsh
faces rather unusual charge of the
forging of check which he had never,
so far as is known, attempted to con-
vert into cash.
But it develops that the information
leading to the present forgery prosecu-
ton was worked UP in this city two
months ago. Welsh had been arrested
here first by the police department at
the request of Riley county authorities,
but at that time he gave the name of
Ralph w. Laws. Until two months
ago he had been a telegraph operator
at the little town of Ogdensburg, on
the Union Pacific in Riley county. He
was convicted of the theft of watch
from an express package and has just
finished two months of Jail service for
that.
Had he not made an attempt while
in the hands of the police here to de-
stroy the check upon which he is now
being prosecuted, it is possible that
he would have escaped trouble. 1t
was made payable to Charles Lanier,
one OI MS dlAdSeSs anu was QIdWII ~
the order of ]. A. Hubert, who is a
station agent at Ogdensburg. The To-
cal authorities have been informed
through the Union Pacific that an eff
fort is being made to connect Welsh
with charge of tampering with ex-
press packages while employed as a
telegrapher at a Nebraska station.
When he was committed to Jail here
Welsh, who is a jaunty appearing
young man. asserted that he would
receive money from his home at Glib
sonville, ILL.,, with which to hire a law
yer and fight the present prosecution.

consent the trio obtained a blank form
and said they thought they could get
the signature. Next day they returned
with the purported signature, swore TO
its genuineness and got their license.
Nothing further was heard of the mat
ter until the stepfather appeared to
ask how the license had been OBJ
tanned.
Upon seeing the consent paper he i'm
mediately asserted that it was false
and was directed to consult County At
torney John j. Sehenck to take stems
for revoking the license. Mr.. Schenclx
issued a summons to the girl her
mother, the young man and the aunt
to appear before, him for an examina-
ton which has not yet been held. If

Smith, the stepfather, came to To-
peka a number of months ago and has
been working on the Melan arch bridge
extension. After his arrest on the as
sault charge the local officers believed
they had identified him as a man
wanted in st. Louis for completely in
the killing of a railroad detective and
he was held here in Jail for day while
an inquiry was wired to East st. Louis.
No satisfactory answer was received
He was released and has been working

bring a price has been sold and the
team is a nonentity. If it hasn't done
well Cooley surely can't blame Topeka
for every game scheduled here has
been transferred to cities that would
pay" The franchise cost Mr.. Cooley
only a nominal sum. What has hap
pened to make it so valuable? Topeka
ought to keep the franchise though
the problem of constructing a
ball team out of the remn-
ants would prove a difficult task.
As far as Joplin is concerned that town
was a failure in the old Western As
ISOLATION. Why should it be a success
now?
Spencer Abbott, who has been man
aging the Cooleysox since Cooley's sus-
pension, brought the team to Topeka,
arriving here on their way from Sioux
City to Wichita shortly before moor.
He said that negotiations are pending
for several new players to be purchased
from the Western association and from
the smaller leagues in Kansas. AS the
deals have not been closed he refused
to discuss the negotiations at length.
