PREACHER-AUTHoR QUITS PULPIT
Or. chas. M. Sheldon Resigns and
Will Devote Entire Time to
Lecture Platform.

Topeka, Dec. 23.-In order to
spread the doctrine of Christian So
cialism, ~ Rev. DR.. Charles NJ
Sheldon, pastor Of the Central Con
gregational church, has resigned his
charge. He handed his. resignation
to the church at the annual meeting
and it will take effect not later than
June 1.
Doctor Sheldon's doctrine, which he
has been preaching for years, is that
the spread Of real Christian brother
hood among laboring men and EN-,
ployers would tend to obviate all
strikes and labor difficulties and
would stop wars and guarantee uni
versal peace.
DR.. Sheldon will devote his entire
time to lecturing, writing and ex-
pounding this doctrine of Christian
Socialism, much as he works out the
problem of right living in his book,
"In His Steps,"
For years the demands on DR.. Shell.
don's time for lectures have been
exceptional, and he could not stand
the double work Of lecturing and
handling his church affairs.

BIG CHANGE IN PRISON METHODS
All short Term Military Prisoners
Taken From Aleatraz Island
10 LeaVenworth.

Washington, Dec. ga sweeping
change In military prison methods
has Just been instituted by orders Of
the war department. All Of the short
term prisoners Of Alcatraz Island,
San Francisco, have been ordered
transferred to Fort Leavenworth,
Kan.
All Of the long term prisoners in
the latter institution, about go, to be
transferred to Alcatraz, which will
thus be made the place Of conhne-
ment for the criminal element, while
Leavenworth will be the place Of de-
tentlon of soldiers guilty of purely
military offenses. To save trans
portation expenses. a second Grim
inal Jail is created at Fort Jay, Gov
ernor's Island, New York.
The effect Of these changes is to
carry out the recently developed Brit
Ish system Of treating deserters and
other soldiers guilty Of breaches Of
discipline as subjects to refcrmatory
influences and Of segregating them
from the absolutely criminal and
vicious class.

Topeka BANKERS
IN OIL FRAUDS.
J. D. DOIIey duplicates F. E. Metzger
and Or. 0. S. Morrow.
USED NAME WITHOUT CONSENT
Testimony In ohio Trial IntImates
Irregularities In Sale Of Stock
Supposed to be Endorsed by
Bank Commissioner.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 23.-TestimonJ
by J. N. Dolley Of Topeka, state banl
commissioner Of Kansas, implicated
v. d. Metzger. president Of the Ger
man.American State bank, and DR.. o
8. Morrow, state superintendent ant
treasurer Of the Children's Home SO
ciety, both Of Topeka, in IRREGULAR
ties concerning the sale Of stock BY
Sandals and Griffin, oil land promo
tiers.
According to the testimony In
United States court, the Sterling OIL
company, OF which Sandals and Griffin
were promoters, published a small
paper called the Sterling News In
the interests Of their business. June
9, 1910, the paper printed an article
in which Mr.. Dolley was placed In
the position Of having iadorsed the
Sterling Oil stock as a good invest
ment.
The article, which was offered In
evidence, said that Dolley had ap-
pointed F. P. Metzger and DR.. Nor
row to make an investigation Of the
company, and had sent q telegram
from Alton, Ok, saying the COM
pany's investment plan was a good
one.
The prosecution had letters and
evidence to show that Metzger had
received $500 shares Of stock In
Alton before he signed the telegram
to the promoters in Cleveland.
Topeka, Dec. 23.-The Rev. 0. 8.
Morrow Of Topeka, implicated with
F. 3. Metzger, president Of the Ger
man.American State bank here, In
alleged fraudulent oil schemes in
Ohio, was muck surprised when told
that J. N. Dolley had absolutely de-
MED an indirect Endorsement of the
proposition on which Sandals and
Grifln, organizers Of the Sterling OIL
company Of Cleveland, o., are being
prosecuted for the fraud.
"S. H. Garrett came to Topeka as
the representative Of the oil company
and wanted to get certificate from
the banking department to enable him
to, sell stock in Kansas" said DR..
Morrow. II was interested In the
company, as was Mr.. Metzger and
several others here. Mr.. Garrett told
us that whatever Mr.. Metzger found
on investigation Of the Oklahoma
property would be Endorsed by the
bank commissioner, as Mr.. Dolley had
faith in whatever Mr.. Metzger found
down there.
Mr.. Garrett already had advised
his company that whatever Mr.. Metz
ger said would also be an indorse-
ment by Mr.. Dolley, as he said he
had been advised by telephone from
Mr.. Dolley directly. That Is how
It came about that Mr.. Dolley was
supposed to have Endorsed this COM
pany."

BURR BROTHERS
PLEAD GUILTY.
Ex.LeavenwOrth Boys Operated Big
"Get-Rich-Q Quick" Scheme.
MUST SERVE ONE YEARlN PRISON


New York. Dec. 2s.~As punish
ment for carrying on q stock swlndle
by mail for two years, which netted
millions in profit, four promoters Of
the firm Of Burr Brothers, incOr-
poTated, each were sentenced to q
years imprisonment on BIackwell's
Island. The prisoners are shelton C.
Burr, president Of the corporation;
his brother, Eugene H. Burr, who
was secretary and treasurer: Charles
H. Tobey, Independent, and Edwin
Wesley Preston. Unexpectedly they
offered pleas Of guilty before Judge
Holt in the criminal branch of the
United States circuit court.
The indictment charged swindle
involving $4,000 in connection with
the sale of the stock of the Peoples
Association Oil company. But the
government alleged that that was
one Of continuing series of frauds,
estimated to have involved nearly
$5O,OOO,O00, with $15,0O0,O00 profit to
the promoters.
Counsel for the defendants said
that rather than involve the expense
of summoning witnesses from distant
points, it was decided to plead guilty.
The maximum sentence possible Is
18 months. Counsel for the defend
ants urged clemency. 1t was asserted
the promoters believed the stocks
would prove profitable.
LeavenwOrth, Kan, Dec. 23.-Shel-
ton and Eugene Burr were born and
reared here. Shelton Burr lived in
Kansas City in 1903 and 1904. His
brother formerly was partner in a
haberdashery shop here.
Henry Burr, the father Of the Burr
boys, was one Of the early residents
Of Leavenworth. He was shoe
manufacturer and employed prison
labor for the most part. The elder
Burr made a comfortable fortune out
of his shoes factory and upon his
death the boys fell heir to the prop
erty. They didn't make a success of
It, however. and the factory was
closed. @
After theytAad lost in various ways
much Of what they inherited they
went to New York and there fortune
smiled upon them until the law in
terfered. ..
Eugene H. Burr figured in sensa-
tional episode about lS years ago
when he eloped with the young daugh-
ter of Matt Ryan, a well to do and
widely known resident Of Leaven-
worth. After his arrest in New
York his wife learned he had an
affinity and she obtained a separa-
ton.
