.STUCkEY IS GUILTY
FORMER WILLIAMSBURG PREACH. FER AND EDITOR CONVICTED
 AT OTTAWA, KAN.
THE VERDICT IN 20 MINUTES
Only Two Ballots Were Taken, the First Standing Eleven for Conviction on Both counts-Penalty One ts Five Years on Each Count.

Ottawa, Kan, Jan. 9.-W. NJ Stuckey. the ex-Williamsburg minister and editor, was found guilty in the dis. trict court on both counts of the charge of abducting Lorena Suther. land. the 16-year-old girl member of his congregation.
 One count charges abduction for inn moral purposes. The other count couples a charge of white slavery" intentions
 It was just 20 minutes from the time the jury left the courtroom until it WAS announced at the door of the jury room that It's verdict had been reached. The progress of another trial in the courtroom delayed the render ing of the verdict ten minutes.
 Two ballots were taken, the first standing II to for conviction on both counts. The penalty is one to five years on each count
 The ex-minister's wife, who has stood by him with vigorous loyalty throughout ths prosecution, was over come by her grief and her fear as the jury retired. and sobbing bitterly was taken from the room to the office of the district clerk, where her children sought to comfort her.
 "It has been 8 terrible strain on me-" she said between her sobs, "and am so glad 1t is Almost over. know more about this case than anybody else. and don't believe it has been altogether fair. There are thousands of men who did and are doing now just what my husband is charged with doing, and they haven't been caught. hardly dare to think what the jury may do"
 Mrs. Stuckey was completely pros trated when the news of the verdict was taken to her.
 Stuckey returned to the courtroom from escorting his wife outside, and. with many evidences of nervousness, awaited the verdict Ills face twitched and his fingers worked nervously as the verdict was read.
 "In this case he said, after the verdict was announced, i've have made an effort. fo sshield the girls character That is why we did not carry my story farther than Franklin county. I cannot say more till have consulted with my attorney"
 Lorena Sutherland's aged father was moved to compassion for the sorrow of the minister's family, as he heard the verdict.
 Tt is justice" he said, "but am very. very sorry for his wife and fam. fly. That man ruined my daughter and it was necessary that he be made to suffer the penalty. But it Is a sad thing for that woman and the chil- dren"
 It is probable that a motion for a new trial will be filed as a preliminary to taking the case to the supreme court, although this has not been de. termlned upon. Stuckey was re- leased on renewal of his $2,5o0 bond given by some ex-members of his con, gregation. pending further action b, the defense.

ADJOURNED MEETING
 OF THE SHIPPERS AND
 GAMERS ASSOCIATION
Seventy Five Shares Subscribed Must Have Twenty-Five More Before the Organization and Election
 of Officers.

Don't fail to attend this meet ing at the court house on Friday, January B, at ? o'clock sharp.
 This meeting may be turning point for weel or for woe.
 There is no call for S25000 stock company. The promoters estimate IS that $25C0 will be sui fcient to capitalize a shippers plant and cannery, and meet the deferred payments on plant now owned by Mir. Gates, who has already paid about $750 cash which he offers to take in com mon stock at $25 per share and turn 1t over to the association to be controlled and operated by the association. This property con- sists of building, ground, an en- gine, boiler and other valua ble and necessary machioery, which is all suited and centrally situated for canning and packing pur poses. It is a snap for au associ- ation of this kind with ample room for different industries.
 The association contemplates starting and operating broom factory. Broom corn is now quoted at S20O per ton. It will grow well in Polk county, and q hundred acres would beat corn and cotton as a money getter.
 Others are anxious to have a creamery h connection. There IS plenty of room and this would be one ef the best of all for this country.
 It is desired that every stock holder estimate the acreage of the different kinds of crops he in- tends to plant and report at this meeting.
 This association ought to face tho market with at least 100 acres early Irish potatoes, tomatoes, cantaloupes, sweet potatoes and other crops, such az peas, beans, radishes, beets, sweet peppers, etc. These things will bring quick money before the canuery will need to start. If the asso- ciation can face the market with a large acreage. then we can de- mand a special rate on transport alton and perhaps buyers will b. on the ground to buy in carload lots. This association contem plates shipping the early crop and canning the late crop, and for winter occupation running a broom factory, provided the peo- pie will plant the broom corn.
 Don't forget and fail to attend thIs meeting, under the penal ' of losing the best opportunity :. It is an old saying that opporiu- nity knocks once at every mau door during h.s life. This is he at our door. Let her in.

 BALLiNGER.
AFFECTS WELFARE OF SCHOOLS
As the Result of an Investigation, John D. Benedict, Superintendent of Fivd Civilized Tribes, and Three Assist ants Removed from Office.

Washington, Jan. 11.--Richard Bal finger. secretary of the interior, sus. pended John D. Benedict. superinten. dent of the Five Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma, and three supervisors from office as the result of an investigation which has disclosed "a disgraceful con dition' affecting the material and moral welfare of the schools
 As a result of the investigation that the department has been carrying on some time, and which will be con tinued, other officials of the Indian service may suffer like fate The in vestigation that resulted In yester- days action was entered Into because of various reports reaching the de partment here charging the officials already suspended, as well as others, with activities that were considered improper for government employees me suspended supervisors are Calvin Ballard of the Chotaw schools in Nc Alester; Frederick H. Umboltz of the Chickasaw schools in Ardmore, and Walter Falwell of the Creek schools in Muskogee.
 From the report made in the case 1t appears that Superintendent Benedict is connected with certain business in terests in Oklahoma which have more or less business with the Indians. which relationship. 1t was believed, was wholly incompatible with his serv- ice as superintendent. He had per. mitted the schools. 1t was reported. to fall into disgraceful condition. and the supervisors have neglected their duties in the enforcement of school contracts and in matters affecting the material and moral conditions sur rounding the conduct of the schools.
 Mir. Benedict has been connected with the Indian service ten years.

Washington. Jan. 9.--The cabinet met and 1t was understood that the action to be taken in regard to the fate of Clifford Pinchot, chief forester, was under consideration. Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh cancelled his proposed trip to Chicago. which was ia have kept him there till Sun day. He did not wish, 1t Is reported, to miss the meetings at which Pin chots fate was to be decided and Pres ident Taft wished to have all his ad- visers present. Secretary Ballinger attended the meeting. denying himself to newspaper men. Pinchot. when asked his views of the crisis, said:
 T have a simple, well worn answer for that: As you may suspect. have nothing to say"
 Official Washington was quiet on the surface-tensely calm, awaiting the storm. News of the dismissal of eff ford Pinchot, chief forester, was ex- pected momentarily. however. Few to- day look for anything but quick action on Pinchot's letter to Senator Dolli- yer, read in the senate, in which Pin nhot said that the presidents stand with Attorney General Wickersham against R. E. Glavis. was a mistake.
 The announcement that President Taft had cut the young millionaire out of the job for which he was ap- pointed by Roosevelt would mean nothing short of open parting between Taft and Roosevelt according to the latter's followers. The Pinchot case Is the parting of the ways between My Policies" of year ago and the administration of today.
 The administration has been put on the defensive by Pinchot's onslaught Specifically. he violated the presidents recent ruling enforcing silence on gov ernment employees. His actual of fense. of course, is that of running directly counter to the adminlstra- tion's policy
 His conduct is of especial signifi. canoe at the time, coming as 1t does when the president is assailed as an ally of Aldrich and Cannon, and the in- surgent forces in both houses of con- gress are lining up for hand to hand struggle.
 The Ballinger-Plnchot dispute itself is an ideal opening for active insurg- ents, and one which they have not failed 10 take advantage of.
 It has been made clear that the line in the senate between the friends of Ballinger and Pinchot would be sharply drawn and they will line up in support of their men strongly. Pin chot will positively retire from the service of the United States either voluntarily or otherwise, it was said today. and his resignation may be looked for at any time in the near future.
