BARBER ADMITS GUILT.
In Decoyins School Teacher for
Kansas Tar Party.

Lincoln Center, Kan, Nov. 15.-An
admission of guilt in the tar party
case came today. Edward Ricord, a
barber, admitted he decoyed Miss
! Chamberlain, school teacher, to
the point near Shady Bend, where
she was "tarred' on August l. He
went before Judge StOver and en-
tered a plea of guilty. Sentence was
suspended until after the trial of the
other accused men.
Ricord has been in jail for the last
three months, awaiting action on an
appeal from the justice court SEN
tence OF Miss Chamberlain. He was
the first man arrested in connection
with the tar party case. 1t is al
legged he received So for his part in
the affair.
According to Miss Chamberlain,
she accompanied Ricord on the night
of the attack under the impression
that he was taking her to a dance
Ricord expects leniency as the result
Of his confession,
Attorneys for both sides in the
case spent the greater part of TO-
DAY collecting witnesses and eyi-
dence to be used tomorrow when
the application COR a change of venue
OF Everett G. Clark, accused of lead,
ing the attack on Miss Chamberlain,
comes up for hearing.
Clark contends prejudice exists
against him in this county.
Many witnesses are TO be called
tomorrow. Among them are several
newspaper men. The defense asserts
that many newspaper reports of the
affair were highly colored and this
tended TO prejudice the public
against Clark. II is further charged
that Prosecutor McCanless forced
Edward Ricord 10 give a reporter an
interview. bringing the prisoner from
the jail late at night for that pur-
pose.
By a recent decision by the Kan
sas supreme court, 1t was held that
a maa who has formed an opinion
in a case from reading newspaper re
rorts, is not necessarily disqualified
to sit on a jury.
Sentiment IN the case is not wholly
with Miss Chamberlain. Friends Ot
Clark and the eight other defendants
have been active in creating SYM
pathy for the accused men.
Interest in the case centers aboIt
Clark, who is wealthy and infllen-
lial. Clark is quoted as having sale
lie will spend his entira fortune if
necessary to avoid Imprisonment.

Mr.. Arthur Balfour, who has just
resigned the leadership of the Union
ist party in Great Britain, has had
a brilliant and picturesque career IN
British politics for thirty-five years.
His first important post was when
he was made Chief Secretary for Ire
land. The late Lord Salisbury was
his uncle and Balfour wos considered
only a philosopher and dreamer until
he proved his ability as a wide-awake
leader and relentless opponent to lead
ers of parties differing from his own.

CANAL WILL Be

SHIPS WILL PASS THROUGH PAN

OFFICIAL OPENING.

New Orleans, Nov. li-Vessels will
be allowed to pass through the Pan
ANA canal before the official date
of the openlng of the canal which
has been set for January 1, lJi5.
This information is contained in a
letter received by l.. T.. Brentley
chairman of the Progressive unions
committee on immigration, steamship
and rail service, from Major Boggs,
of the United States corps of engi-
ueers a, Washington Major Boggs
says:
Il am directed by the secretary of
war to inform you that while the
official date of the opening OF the
canal has seen set for January !,
1915, it is the intention to allow
fosscls to utilize the canal just as
soon as practicable. Present indlca-
tions seem to be that the opinion
previously expressed by the chair
man OF lsthmian canal commission,
that this can be accomplished in the
latter part OF 1873, although It IL
too far in advance at this time to
fix any definite date. Shipping in
gerest5 will. however be advised as

SECURES BUFFALO SKIN 0VERC0AT

Fifty wears ago the American bison
or buffalo, as it was popularity termed,
roamed the plains of the western por-
ton of the United States in countless
thousands. Today, with the exception
of few private herds and those which
are given government protection in
national preserves, they are practical
ly extinct.
The flesh of the buffalo was used by
the aLOrgines of the western plains
for food and their skins served as
material for their tepees and blankets
to protect them from the rigorous
winter winds thai swept the praires
Little attention was given to the
protection OF these animals by the
government and hunters slaughtered
them by the thousands, often out Of
pure waptonness, with the result that
today the buffalo that was once SO
plcntiiul on our western prairies is
now an object OF curiosity. After the
great war between the states had been
settled and the citizen 6Oldiery, both
North aud South, returned to their
homes to pursue the arts of peace,
the Sioux Indians Of the northwest
took the warpath and their dcpreda
tons were only ended after the hattl"
Of the Little Pig Horn in Montana,
in which General George \ Custer
and a detachment of the 7th United
States cavalry We're oNterminated.
This battle was fought on the 25th Of
June. 1876, and the government de
c.ded to send an army sufficient INTO
that section of the country to Quell the
Sioux once and forever but the rigor
Gus winter weather demanded that the
soldiers We well clothed With this
contingency confronting the war de-
lartment. they gave orders that ten
thousand oyercOats be made OF buff
falo skins for the protection of the
soldiers. This was done and seven
thousand of the coats issued to the
tooops. The remaining three thOus-
and were stored by the government
Tor future use, but no occasion has
ever arisen for their use. There are
contractors constantly in the market
buying goods and supplies from the
United States war department as an
investment. and one of these purchas-
ed the remaining three thousand buff
falo coats and shipped them to dealers
in cities OF the north and east.
The dealers Immediately BEGAN an
advertising campaign of these gar
ments and there We're many who re-
sponded, knowing the value of a gen.
uine buffalo coat. Among these who
made inquiries was Hon. Charles d.
Carter OF this city. congressman from
this district. He had a list of the
dealers and sent his measurement to
them with the request that a coat be
reserved for him Yesterday he re-
ceived a letter from a dealer in st.

sarYed for him there and he is going

Washington, July 1S.-Richard s.. Ryan the promoter of the Controae. Bay Railroad and Navigation Compa- lny, who is alleged to have written the "Dick to Dick" letter which can lnot be found, but which is declared by Miss M. F. Abbott, a writer to have

MURPHY OPINION
 ON HOWARD CASE
BELIEVES THERE IS NO DOUBT BUT THAT FORMER CONSTABLE
 CAN SERVE AGAIN.
Col. Geo. w. Murphy Cites Cases Giving His Version of Much
 Disputed Point in Controversy.

The following opin' on has been rendered by Col. Geo. w. Murphy in reply to an inquiry as to whether Albert Howard could hold the office Iof constable should he be elected at the special eection. Col. Murphy's opinion is as follows:
 Dear Sir: In answer to your re-
 quest for an opinion as to whether ex-Constable Howard, now a candi- date for reelection, will be disqual- Iified by the recen- judgment of the ICircuit Court removing him from of- flee in case of his election, beg to igive it as my view that he will not. Tn fixing fine and removal from of | flee as the penalties for such of Ifenses, the law excludes the idea of future disqualification. If it had
 been the purpose of the law makers to add the further penalty of dis
 qualification to hold office, they WOuiu nave oO OApASoScu IhClioSlfCSf as is evidenced by the fact that they have done so in prescribing punishment for offenses of such gravity as merit such disqualifica- | ton.
 In support of this view, I might refer you to the different sections | of the digest of our statutes on the subject of misfeasance and malfeas-
 ance in office. some providing fines land removal from office, only for certain classes of these offenses and
 others providing for other classes of
 them like penalties and also the fur
 ther penalty of disqualification to
 hold office.
 You might also, if still doubtful,
 consult the cases of Speed ys. De-
 troit, 9S Mich, Rep. 360, and Thurs
 ton vs. Clark, 107 Cal, 2S5. Yours truly, I7-13-6t. c. w. MURPHY
