Harry Freidberg of Kansas City ar
rived in Topeka today and will take an
active part in the investigation of the
Platt murder mystery. Heis brother
of Samuel Freidberg. a son-in-law of
the North Topeka merchant who was
formerly city attorney of Kansas City,
Kan. and he will question Charles
Lolley regarding his actions on the

The Kansas City man will probably
go even further. 1t is intimated that
he will spend several days in Topeka
and will himself work on some of the
clues which have come to the police
and county officials. If necessary,
Freidberg may take an active hand in

was the t'Nautch dance" wherein
Miss st. Denis wore the most clothes.
The applause for this number was due
to the fact that she danced with her
feet-bare, of cOurse-rather than
with her arms and neck. Topeka is
not educated up to the cuticle dance,
and the bare patellas of a handsome
woman are not, in this town, consid-

Egypt and modern India to perfect
her portrayals of the dances of those
nations, and her natural grace has
been augmented by several years of
hard work.
The first section of the dance pro-
gram, was an illustration of ancient
Egyptian religious thought. In the
days of the Pharoahs, the dance was
a religious institution, and the dance
was aesthetic, rather than jigsome.
The second division consisted of
Hindu dances-the Nautch dance and
an allegorical dance of Miss St Den

feet of this last dance, wherein a
Hindu idol while being worshiped by
several unclothed colored gents, comes

JACKSON HAS "A CLAIM.
Congressman Says r. /. Overcharged
Him on Shipment of Cattle.

Fred S. Jackson, former attorney
general is preparing to file a claim
against the Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific railroad company for an over
charge on a shipment of cattle to
Maple Hill. Mr.. Jackson owns farm
to Topeka and bought a carload of
milk cows. The car was billed out of
Topeka at ten dollars but the agent at
Mabple Hill collected fifteen dollars
for the freight.
Mr.. Jackson in looking up the rate,
found that the maximum freight rate
law fixed the rate at u cents hun
dred pounds for a shipment for this
distance while the railroad tariffs fixed
the rate at cents. This fact has been
called to the attention of the railroad
officials by the board of railroad COM
missioners with instructions to the
railroads to change their tariffs to con-
form to the state laws.
