He procured license, telephoned for

We've just thirty-five minutes to be
married. Canaday said few minutes
later when the Rev. John Score, pastor
of the Seventh Street Methodist church
of Kansas City, Kan, answered a hur-
ried knock at the door. A seven pas

and climbed into the motor car, i'll

IN A new LIGHT.
Discrepancy in the Testimony
of Sw0pe Witnesses
Adds New Element of Doubt as
to Cause of Death.
IN GRAND JURY ROOM
Evidence Differs From That at
the COrOner's Inquest.
Dissolution Might Have Resulted
From Various Conditions.
IN GRAND JURY ROOM

Kansas City Mo. Feb. 15.-Miss Pearl
Kellar. the nurse. who gave the most
important testimony at the inquest over
the body of Col. Thomas H. Swope, was
the first witness called by the special
grand jury that is investigating the
death of the millionaire. Miss Kellar
probably will be before the grand jur-
ors two days.
The testimony of DR.. Frank Hall, a
bacteriologist, who assisted at the
autopsy over Col. Swope's body, given
yesterday in a deposition in the office
OF Frank P. Walsh had added a new
element of doubt to the Swope mystery
which it is believed will cause the pros
ecuting attorney to subject every witness

BAD JAPS IN CHILE.
Foreign Office Will Bring Back Sus-
picious Characters.

Toxic. Monday. January 24.-The
condition and behavior of the Japanese
emigrants to Chile are matters of COM
ment generally. 1t appears that as is
the case in other patches of emigrants
a very large number of i'll conditioned
and inferior Japanese coolies have
gone to South America and the result
is that not only among the people of
that country, but among their own ma
ton they have an extremely bad repu-
tation. The foreign office is making
close investigation and will bring back
to Japan all suspicious characters in
South America.

BUTLER AND THE BONDS.
Wherein Lies the Danger to
the State of Buffers DONNA

ton.
Charlotte Observer.
InaSmuch as some orators
now go about the State saving
that there is no need to be on
guard against ex-senator Marion
Butler and the carpet-bag bonds
because payment of these bonds
is prohibited by the constitution
of the State unless the people
shall declare otherwise, we would
point out that such contentious
do not rest upon any proper bas-
is. In the first place, we have
already shown that a State gov
ernment even partly under Mr..
Buffers control could fatally COM
promise the States position and
force a choice between payment
and singing, crippling disgrace.
But it should also be said that
against a judgment of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court the
State constitutional provision
would have no validity at all.
No State constitution or State
law has any weight against the
constitution and laws Of the Uni
ted States as declared by compet-
ent jurisdiction. Now suppose
Mr.. Butler in a position where
ne could permit the fraud on the
United States Supreme Courts
jurisdiction which was success
fully attempted by himself and
associates in the Schaeffer bond
case to be repeated with respect
to the many millions of carpet
bag bonds. At present the only
thing which prevents a suit
being brought on the same basis
as the successful South Dakota
suit is South Dakota having ex-
pressed regret for her conduct)
that no State will for money con-
siderations incur the odium in
volved. Mr.. Buffers fellow
schemers induced one house of
the Rhode Island Legislature to
pass an act looking to suit against
North Carolina, but the Rhode
Island legislators retracted this
action with apologies when Gov.
ernor Kitchin had put the matter
in it's true light. How would the
case stand, on the contrary, if &
North Carolina Legislature under
Buffers domination, or even {
single State Supreme Court jus.
tice, should champion or recognize
the bonds. In such an event an
other State could bring suit with
out losing face" or it's self
esteem. And some one certainly
would. If Mr.. Butler were in ;
position to have the suit made
qately defended or os;by default
the result would be absolutely
assured. In any event, thu
North Carolina constitutions
provision would not be worth
five cents unless the Stat
could successfully defy the con
StltutlOn and laws OF the Unlte'
States.
There is still another devic
which Mr.. Butler might emplo,
with effect. The Legislature
which he now seeks to capture
can authorize a suit against tn
State. Since any State can b
sued by private persons with it
consent, the eleventh amendmen
Of the Federal constitution
which the bond schemers hav
already evaded by causing ar 9th
er State to bring suit, would b
done away with completely.
In his enterprise, if successfl

have the advantage of being able
to say that the Republican party
issued these bonds and has never
yet repudiated them. He already
controls the party machinery and
Wlelds the party whip. With
millions involved, abundant funC S
would be forthcoming to in
troduce the all too widely preva-
lent practice of bribery, if need
ed, into the North Carolina Leg
islature. We do not consider ex-
Senator Butler a safe or in any
respect proper man to control
affairs in this State, bonds or no
bonds. With his bond record
and connections, he is highly
dangerous.
We deprecate any and every
vote WHICH a patriotic North
Carollnlan may cast next month
tor men protesting allegiance to
the organization dominated by
ex-senator Butler. We have in
mind not only Dem ocratic voters,
but Republican. The danger S
just pointed out. and the ineffec-
tlveness of the State constitution
as a protection, should weigh
tremendously with every one.
If the men contending other
wise do not know enough law to
be aware how groundless their
contentious are from that stand
point, as well as from various
others, they should quit the
stump until they have learned.

The news comes by cable that Rev.
Triple, who issued a Methodist bull
against the Vatican, may be retired.
His days of usefulness in the Eternal
City are over. When Roosevelt read
his rampant proclamation to American
Catholics calling on them to cast off
the papal yoke, he got furiously mad
and said he would make things hot
for the sectarian incendiary when he
arrived home. mot another cent for
the Methodist propaganda in Rome
from America" he is reported to have
said, according to the correspondent
of the New York Sun. Triples zeal
for the conversion of Italians carried
him too far, and it is doubtful if he
will ever be made a bishop, though
he is not bit worse than Bishop Nc
Intyre, who called Archbishop Ireland
"a double-tongued falsifier" and then
challenged him to a debate in the open
forum on arriving in st. Paul. Of
course, the Archbishop would not graft
ify his vanity.

A BURGLAR WHO IS A POET.

John Carter is the assumed name Of
an English burglar of poetic genius
who was recently released from the
saltwater penitentiary after spending
over six years within it's gloomy walls.
He is indebted for his freedom to the
efforts put forth in his behalf by Judge
John w. Willis of st. Paul, a scholar
ly critic who observed every evidence
of genius in the essays published by
the convict in the Prison Mirror. The
effusions We're signed "Anglicus" and
ranked high in literary merit. Not
only did the convict write elegant
prose but he also wrote poems of raro
excellence which he sent to such mag
azines as The Century. Harper's. the
Era and the Bellman, all of which
inserted them though aware of the fact
that the author was undergoing a ten
station in northern Minnesota and TAX
ing away therefrom the sum of TWEEN

At that time Carter was boy Of
nineteen on his way from Canada to
Minneapolis, and having no money he
stole ride in box car, but was dis
covered by a burly brakeman who
threw him off on the hard ground. He
had then been fasting for SO hours and
sought the railway station for food
to appease his hunger. Finding moth

the money, and started on his journey.
He was soon followed, taken prisoner
and a village Dogbcrry gave him ten
years at hard labor in state prison.

Patrick Ford's name was taken in
vain by Tories in parliament last week
during the fight on the veto. He is
raising fund of $4,000 for Redmond
and his colleagues to be used in case
of another election. A generation ago
he raised a Diminishing fund" to free
his native land by physical force. He
has since grown older and wiser and
knows that the freedom of Ireland can
be obtained by a bloodless revolution.
Hence, he is furnishing the sinews of
war to enable Redmond to win Home
Rule by parliamentary instead of mill
itary tactics. When Ireland is free,
Pat Ford ought to be made chancellor
of the Irish eXchequer. He is splen-
did financier for the National party.

conceal his identity and save his
mother the disgrace of having a con-
Wet for a son. All this Judge Willis
learned after his attention was at
tracted to the literary productions of
the young man and he determined to
use all his influence to obtain his free
dom, and finally succeeded in his noble
efforts.
Sad to say when Carter was re-
leased from "durance vile" he forgot
to go to his benefactor to return him
thanks, though he was invited by Judge
Willis to his home We are slow to
pronounce the young man an migrate
and hope he will give the judge sat
isfactory explanation. The reporters
must have got hold of him and kept
him from displaying his gratitude to
the worthy gentleman who procured
his liberation.
Perhaps his failure to thank Judge
Willis is owing to the sensitive tenn
permanent of the poet. In all ages and
countries the poets have been some
what eccentric in their conduct They
are different from the common herd of
humanity and are accorded a poetic
license by ordinary mortals to do and
say extraordinary things. In the words
of Shakespeare, 1.-The poets eye, in a
fine frenzy rolling, doth glance from
heaven to earth, from earth to heaven"
Prosaic and practical men think they
are crazy, but the poets will live for
ever, while the toilers die in a day.
So said John Boyle O'Reilly.
We hope John Carter will use the
great gifts he possesses in the cause
of truth and justice and make up for
the six years he spent in Jail. He has
learned the lesson from hard expert
ence that it does not pay to take what
belongs to another, no matter how
great the temptations and it is our
hope that he will always remember the
words of Pope, his poetic countryman,
who said that IAN honest man is the
noblest work of God.

Who owns Alaska? asks La Fol-
lette's Weekly Magazine. It was sup
posed that Alaska was owned by the
United States since it was purchased
from Russia in 1857 for $7,2O0,O0O. In
1900 gold to the value Of $7,771, 900 was
taken from the Alaskan fields. It is
rich in coal beds, and that is why the
Morgan Guggenheim syndicate sur
reptitiously tried to obtain control of
the territory. Pinchot and CLAWS in
terfered and prevented the exploita-
ton, but Taft discharged them for do
ing their duty. Alaska is still owned
by the United States.
