HIS TRIP DELAYED.
German Arrested Because He Carries
Shot Gun in Case.

New York, Sept. 9.-Henry Becker.
a German resident of Seattle. Wash.
was not able to sail on the liner Cleve-
! land today, although he had purchas-
ed his passage by telegraph a week
ago. Promptly on his arrival in New
York few hours before sailing time
he was arrested by a New York no
llceman because he carried a shot gun
in a leather bag in his hand. His
case will be made a test of the new
weapon law in this state, whereby the
possession of dangerous weapon by
an alien is made felony. punish
able by seven years imprisonment
Becker was probably the most as
tonIshed man in the United States
when arrested. He regarded himself
as peaceful subject of the kaiser
and had a hard time understanding
now he possibly could be violating
any law. He was convinced that the
letter of the law regarded him as a
dangerous man when he was marched
Off to the Tombs police court and held
without bail to await the action Of
the grand jury District Attorney
Whitman promised to hurry the case.
however. It is unlikely that the
grand jury will regard Becker's Of
fense as serious.
The extent to which the new law
may be carried if enforced literally
was indicated by the arrest of ped
dler charged with having a razor in
his possession.
A magistrate held in this case, how
ever, that mere possession of a razor
is not a crime. There must be proof
OF intent to use the razor as a weap-
on. The intent with which DersOn
carries a razor is of vital Importance.
II must be criminal intent and that
is a question of fact to be determined
from all the circumstances of each
case

ITALY AND MEXICO HUFFED.
Don't Like Way Their Citizens Were
Treated in Kansas.

International complications with
Mexico and Italy are threatened be-
cause of alleged insult, injury and
death to subjects of these nations in
Kansas without 1ustifiable cause. Gov
ernor Stubbs has received complaints
from the secretary of state at Wash
ington that had been filed by the am
bassadors of these countries in which
it is set forth. first by Mexico, that a
subject of that government, c. Sego-
bia by name, was killed by policemen
in Wichita while sleeping quietly in
his bunk in a Missouri Pacific box car.
The officers, it was said, were raiding
the car at the time because of a crap
game in progress there. Mexico thinks
this killing a wanton affair and wants
the policemen prosecuted
The italian governments complaint
is based on the injuries and insult Of
fered by deputy sehriffs in Crawford
county while looking through the
house of Sonora Morettini for liquor.
It is alleged that these officials knock
ed down the two little sons of the
sonora when they asked them their
business in the house. The Italian
government wants the scalps of these
two deputy sheriffs.
Governor Stubbs has forwarded the
correspondence to the mayor of Wich-
ita and to Will Montgomery in Craw-
ford county with instructions to inves-
tigate the two cases at once and make
report to the executive office.

Fireman Jim Flynn In Madison Square

Much mystery has thus far attended
the work of the big freight engineer who

New York guests say that he proved at
least one thing to them, namely. that he

Doctors:-I wish to send you letter

vice and also told me there was no other
way out OF my trouble but by opera

Il had heard of the United Doctors and
knew they did not operate. 50 made up
my mind to see them. When 1 called at
their office the doctor in charge told me
they could cure me without operation

ately.
After two weeks of their treatment
went back to work and have worked

trouble has been relieved for good.

the manner in which corporations
shall be conducted, A W. Green. of
New York city, in an address here tc-
day said it behooved every officer Of
a corporation to so manage its af-
fairs that it shall commend itself to
the public sentiment of the country
of all the people of the country--tt'
the end that the attitude of the peo-
pie toward these corporations shall not
be hostile, but friendly Officers of
corporations he declared must carry
into the mana Hgement of their concerns
the same rules that they apply to their
private lives
The occasion was an elaborate
luncheon rendered by the National
Biscuit company, of which Mr.. Green
is president at their new plant in this
city. Three hundred prominent busl-
ness men from New York, Chicago ana
St Louis, including 40 bank ana rail-
road presidents were among the
guests. F. L. Hine, president of the
I~frst National bank, New York, also
was on The list of speakers.

love so much, and in which free in

century of their trial
What these corporations shall DO
and how they shall act will greatly de-
ternine the result of this trial of free

IF corporations. during this time or
trial. will march by the side of those
who desire that free institutions shall
not perish from the earth, and who
are striving to maintain this REPUBLIC
of ours in its integrity and to fulfill
the purposes for which it was created,
then the vital point is that the corpor-
alton must not be separated from the
individuals who manage its affairs.
Mr.. Hine. in his remarks, said that
the average corporation is no better
and no worse than the average bust-
ness man. ''Is 1t not high time" he
asked. s'for every citizen of the United

sCHwABEN LANDS AT BERLIN.

from Baden Baden.

Berlin, Sept 9.-The Zeppelin dirigible
balloon Schwaben with six passengers on
board arrived over Berlin at 11:45 O'Clock
this morning, thereby completing its $50
mile Journey from Baden Baden.
The big airship encircled the city of
Berlin and then proceeded to Pottsdam,
where it made a successful landing. The
Schwaben will remain only one day at
Potsdam, as the projected "harbor'' for
dirigfbles has not yet been completed.
The Schwaben left Baden Baden on the
morning of September 6 and arrived at
Gotha on the afternoon of the same day.
After two days stop the dirigible as
cended at 6:15 o'clock this morning on the
final stage of its trip. The moderate in
terest aroused by the arrival of the air
vessel was in striking contrast to the en-
thusiasm displayed by the people on a
former occasion when a Zeppelin balloon
visited Berlin.

COURT SUSTAINS DAMAGE
VERDICT FOR BOYS DEATH
Drivers Act in Whipping Horses
Binds EMPLOYER.

TRENTON, April 6.-The Supreme
Court, in an opinion filed today, sus-
tains the verdict for damages recovered
in the Passaic Circuit Court by Valan-
tine Tier, father of Harry L. Tier, In
the suit brought against Frederick A.
Miller, who was charged with being
liable for the death of young Tier. The
boy, with several companions, jumped
on the pole of a truck belonging to Mil
Ter and was killed by falling under the
wheels.
The truck consisted of the wheels,
connected by a pole about thirty-five
feet long. The Tier boy, after jumping
on the truck seated himself upon the
pole about twenty-five feet from the
driver and between tire front and rear
wheels. The driver shouted to the boy
to get off and then whipped up his
horses. The animals jumped forward
sharply and the lurch forward of the
truck threw Tier off the pole and under
the rear wheels, causing his death.
The theory upon which the case went
to the jury was that the act of the
driver in whipping the horses was per-
formed in furtherance of his duty as
an employee of Mr.. Miller and, there
fore, the latter was enswerable for the
results of the drivers act.
