general, ''if you want him, you'll have
to pay 25 cents for a ticket, or wait
outside until the races are over
That was all.
Then the delegation from the court
house took a. short cut for the door.
Fifteen minutes later Bradshaw re-
ported progress to the court. The
court wanted to know why 25 cents
stood between his officers and justice.
Bradshaw said he didn't know.
While the conference was in prog
ress at the court house, Bennett made
a hurried escape Evidently he knew
the officers wanted him and after that
the races were a matter of little con-
sequence to the forger. He has not
been found.
on several occasions this week Off
GERS have complained because they
were denied the privileges of the
grounds by the fair management. In
the Bradshaw case, Secretary Cook did
not look at the commitment to learn
if Bennett was wanted for petit lar
ceny or murder. He used as few
orders as were necessary to explain to
the marshal that court orders and JUS
tice did not control the box office at
the fair association and that the privi-
leges of an officer on the fair grounds
did not overshadow those of the pri-
vate citizen.
As a result of this explanation
man under sentence of the court was
permitted to escape, the fair associa-
ton did not get the IS cents admis-
sion fee, and Mr.. Cook will be COM
PEELED to explain his attitude to the
court.
When called over the telephone this
afternoon, Cook said he knew nothing
about the matter.
''Never saw the man." was Cooks

ceiver.

COOK IS ARRESTED
Secretary of Fair Association Charged
With Interfering With officer.

Secretary H. L. Cook of the State
Fair association was arrested this aft
ernoon on a state warrant, charged
with resisting an officer in the dis
charge of his duty.
The warrant for Cooks arrest was
issued by Judge Robert Carver of the
court of Topeka on complaint OF
Charles Bradshaw, deputy marshal.
Bradshaw had been given commit
ment for Henry Bennett, who is under
six months sentence from the court Of
Topeka for forgery.
Early in the afternoon Judge Car
yer saw Bennett in the grandstand at
the fair grounds. He Immediately went
to his office and issued a commitment
for the man and directed Bradshaw to
bring the prisoner into court forth
with. The deputy marshal succeeded
in securing admittanee to the grounds.
But at the grandstand gatekeeper
denied Bradshaw admittance-

BAR VICE COMMISSIONS BOOK
Improper Heading Matter Is AIIega-
ton OF Postmaster.

Chicago, Sept. 15--One thousand
copies of the report of the Chicago
vice commission have been seized by
the postal authorities pending a deci-
sion from Washington whether the
much discussed volume is fit matter
to be carried through the mail.
The order barring the report Of the
commission from the mails on the
ground that it is obscene was issued
after a wagon load OF the books was
delivered at the postoffice by the com
mission for transportation to socioi-
ogists. scientists. physicians and pub
lie officials in other cities. Postfnas-
ter Dan Campbell last night gave out
this statement:
THE books we're barred from the
mails because the law requires that
they should be barred The report. OF
course, was made by high grade men
and would be of great value If placed
in the proper hands. but the law does
not allow us to take into consideration
either the authorship or the purpose
of book Of this kind"
