1t was an altogether startling and
unexpected turn in the famous case.
When court convened at 10 o'clock
counsels for defendants requested a
recess for a consultation. After be-
ing with the defendants for an hour
with occasional conferences with the
district attorney they came back into
court and the district attorney an
nounced the change in pleas. Ad-
dressing the court he said:
'I have been advised that counsel
for the defendants desire to change
their pleas on counts L, 2, 4, 5, and s :;
the other counts l shall not prosecute"
The clerk then called on DR.. Plass to
stand up and in reply to the clerks
questions he said in a firm voice
"Guilty." Then in turn Brooks and
Trappagen responded. adding that
their guilt was technical. District
Attorney French then said:
''I shall not ask for sentence at the
present time. In view of the fact
the evidence has revealed that the Of
fenses We're less serious than the gov
ask for a substantial fine instead of
Imprisonment"
Mr. Plass made his plea on direct
charge of fraud but Brooks and
Traphagen qualified their pleas with
the word technical" All three de-
PENDANTS were permitted to leave the
court in custody of their counsel. Sen
tence will be imposed later.
The offices of the Redeemable Invest
ment company in this city were raided
by the government authorities on Oc-
tober 13 last and Brooks and Trapha-
gen were arrested. Mr.. Plass who was
at one time president of Washburn col
lege, Kansas, was in the northwest
at the time but returned few weeks
later and all three pleaded not guilty
to the indictment charging them with
using the mails in scheme to defraud
The company was said to be interested
in mining, farming and timber lands
in the northwest and its securities were
sold with a guarantee to numerous
New England investors. The trial be-
gan two weeks ago

UP GO POTATOES.
Dry Weather Has Sent Price to Sixty
Cents Per Peck.

Up go potatoesi In three weeks the
price of potatoes has jumped from
thirty-ffve to sixty cents a peck and it
is difficult to buy the "spuds'' at that
famine at the present time.
The Texas crop is burned up and
the drought in Oklahoma is fast re-
duc1ng the prospects of a harvest there
to nil.
In the Kansas potato belt the plants
have not apparently been greatly in

Ing rain in the next few days would
assure a crop. If no rain comes soon
however, the situation will be serious.
kansas City was clear out of pota-

the firm of William Green and Son to-
day, land in fact it is a very diff
cult matter to get them. The KAN
sas crop is due to begin to come in
about three weeks from now If we get
rain.
To-day potatoes are retailing at
sixty cents a peck; last week they sold
for forty cents, and it was but three
weeks ago that they were selling for
th1rty-five cents peck. The whole
sale price has more than doubled in
that time.

HE TUMBLEs TO EARTH.
Aviator Frey Sustains Fracture of
Arm, Leg and Jaw.

Ronciglione, Italy,. June 14.-Herr
Frey, the only competitor in the Paris
Rome-Turin aviation race to attempt
the final leg of the course, lies in the
hospital here with his right arm and
left leg and his lower jaw fractured
In periods of delirium he fights again
the battle with the fog that was his
undoing yesterday. Frey does not
appear to have been injured internally
and the physicians believe he will
recover. The airman's wife came
from Florence during the night and is
with him today. The time limit for
the race will expire tomorrow and yes
terday the German aviator decided to
take one more chance with the ele-
ments, hoping to reach Florence and
thence the perilous flight over the
Apennines to Bologna, from where it
should be comparatively easy going
to the goal at Turin. Starting from
Rome, he soon ran into a heavy fog
and lost his bearings. Approaching
Lake Vicco his machine became un-
manageable in a fierce rain and hail
storm and hurtled to the ground in
the mountain forests near here. Hours
later the injured man was found in
the wreckage of his aeroplane by Red
Cross searchers. He had covered
about 35 miles when he fell.
