CRAZY ABOUT HIM.
Prof. Grain Was a Social Lion at

Ottawa. Kan, Sept. 10.-"Why, If

many of them had had trouble of this
kind when they were young fancy
that everyone of them would stand up.
It's not an uncommon thing for men
to have trouble with girls when they
are young.
That was the remark of Prof Grant
H Grain, president of the Ottawa
Business college, against whom
breach of promise suit for $4,000 was
filed Thursday by Miss Ethel Mckee,
a Kansas City stenographer. Profess
sor Grain admitted that he was en-
gagged to marry Miss Mckee, but he
says that Miss Mckee broke the en-
gagement and refused to marry MIN.

that Miss Mckee broke the engage

Professor Grain is 46 years old. He

HE'S OUT ON PAROLE.
Negro Amos Woodland, Who Rified
Mail Sack, an ex-Convict.

Investigation today disclosed that
Amos Woodland, the negro who con-
fessed to robbing a mail pouch at the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe depot
about Thursday midnight, was paroled
from the state penitentiary by the
prison board on April 10, 1909. He was
sentenced May 16, 1904, for an indie
terminate term of from one to ten
years, on conviction of forgery. Wood
ard was found guilty in lola, Allen
county.
Twenty minutes after the robbery
Detectives German, McGrath and
Woods of the Santa Fe were upon the
trail of Woodland, though he was not
arrested until late Friday. They re-
ported the theft of the letters to the
government authorities, number about
600. from the mail sack which had been
cut open. On Friday Woodland, who
is a negro about % years old, was call
ed before the government officials and
was given a sweating until about
o'clock in the afternoon, when he con-
fessed. He then was arraigned and his
bond fixed in the sum of $500 to await
preliminary hearing set for September
19.
No preliminary hearing will be given
States Marshal W. H. Mackey, who
said that he will be indicted by the
federal grand jury which convenes in
Wichita, September r. He then will
be given trial before Judge Pollock
in the United States district court. 1t
is expected that on Judge Pollock
return to Kansas City from Wichita
he will come by way of Topeka, stop
ping off and hearing Woodlands case.
According to those in touch with the
case 1.-The bulldog tenacity' of Marshal
Mackey was largely responsible for
Woodlands confession. Following the
negro's admission he accompanied gov
eminent officials to the Missouri Pa
cif1c railroad wards. where he gave over
to them the eleven bundles of letters
still tied, and about 200 letters which
were loose. Four or five of the latter
had been rifled but it is believed moth
ing was taken from them.
Most of the letters taken were in
the western mail, though few of them
were addressed to towns in Kansas.

CAUSE IS UNKNOWN.
No Reason Apparent for Loss of Car
Ferry No. IS.

Ludington, Mich, Sept. 1O.-Yester-
days wreck of Pere Marquette car
ferry No. is, and the loss of % lives
was not due to a storm, to overload
ing or to a breakdown in the ma
chinery and the real cause of the dis
aster will never be fully determined
is the conclusion reached by General
Superintendent w. D. Trump, of the
Pere Marquette line who came here to
investigate the wreck.
According to the report sent by Mr..
Trump to Pere Marquette headquarters
in Detroit today Captain Russell of
steamer No II was merely asked by
Captain Kitty of No. IS, to stand by
when he arrived at the scene Captain
Kitty evidently not believing his YES
sci was in immediate danger.
Captain Russell, however, observed
that No. IS was sinking and lowered
his lifeboats Just before No. Is went
to the bottom.
According to Mr.. Trump there were

vessel was not responding quickly
The compartment of the engine room
was then found to contain a consider

deck hands sleeping there. The sig

port side were lowered but not cut
away from the ship, Captain Kitty

THE WEEKS STOCK MARKET.
Government Crop Report and Weather
Conditions Show Little Change

New York. Sept. 10.-The weeks
stock market made no positive re-
Spouse to new Developments The
only effect was of repression. The
election result in Vermont and belief
that division was growing between
the president and his predecessor were

weeks weather conditions promised
Improvement in the crops, but the ex-

move the crops continue, but moder-
ated from the rate of the previous
week.
