RELEASE KID MCCOY.
Unsworn Statement of Drunk Woman
Not Enough Evidence.

London, Aug. 2-'Kid" Mccoy,
Norman SeIby) the American boxer,
was discharged from custody by the
magistrate of the extradition court at
Bow street today. He was arrested
July rs on a provisional extradition
warrant charging MIN with larceny al
legged to have been committed at Ost-
end.
The proceedings were taken at the in
stfgation of the Belgian legation. Nc
Coy had appeared before the magistrate
on several previous occasions on the
same charge and on August was re-
leased on bail while awaiting the ar
rival of the document connected with
the case from Belgium.
McCoys attorney in addressing the
court, said the deposition had arrived
from Belgium and there was absolutely
no case against Mccoy.
1t was most extraordinary that Nc
Coy had been arrested on the unsworn
testimony of an intoxicated woman
Who when she became sober denied
her own statement, said the attorney.
The reason Mccoy found himself in
that position was that he happened to
travel to Ostend and stay in the hotel
where the theft was committed.
The magistrate said lie had read all
the papers and concluded that there
was not sufficient evidence to justify
extrad1tion and he therefore dismissed
the case.

CAUGHT JOE HIGGINS.
Police Believe He Is Mixed Up in Many
Topeka Crimes.

The police believe they have cap
tured the worst criminal in Topeka or
at least one that has caused them more
trouble than any other character in
the city. The person referred to is Joe
Higgins, who was arrested for robhing
the room of J. w. Brown at 40 Mon
roe street Wednesday night. Higgins
and Elmer Jones were arrested by De-
tective Carl Golf and Officer Palmer.
Higgins entered Browns room and
stole box which was supposed to con-
tain about $50, but in reality it con-
tanned but SIS cents He climbed on
the porch in the rear of the building,
and after removing his shoes, removed
money box was in a trunk. He made
considerable noise and attracted the
attention of occupants of the house.
Fred Cooper and F. o. Sharp, two
other men who were boarding and
rooming at the same place heard the
noise and watched for Higgins to ap-
pear at the window The saw him
he jumped off the porch and chased
him to the Bromich boiler works be-
fore capturing him. They took him
back to their boarding house and held
him until the officers came.
The burglary was planned by the
two boys at the City park. Jones, who
lives in the house with his father,
knew of the money box and it's loca-
ton. Higgins offered to go and get it
and left Jones on the outside on guard.
fair He refused to say anything this
nc rning, but after a conference with
his father, admitted the entire affair
The police have the names of several
who saw Higgins come out of Browns
room.
The police have realized that Hlg-
gins was a thief and desperate charac-
ter for more than year. Detectives
Anderson and Summers attempted to
arr est him on a robbery charge about
a. wear ago but he escaped. He was ar
rested last winter as an accomplice in
the robberies that were committed by
the Ruck brothers but all escaped
He is suspected of being
the person who grabbed a number of
purses from women while on the
street on the West side last winter A
of other robberies have been
checked up to him but the police have
beer unsuccessful in securing the CO.
of the county attorney in

on this occasion, there is no doubt
in the minds of the police but that

ECONOMIC LEAGUE
But 1t Is Non-POIitical in
Character.
Started in Topeka, but VIII Be
State Wide in Scope.

The organization of the first Pro-
gressive Economic league has been per-
fected, and the league expects to do
much toward enlightening it's mem
bers on various subjects of vital inter-
est to the government The league an
ncunces, as it's fundamental principle,
it's belief in the government "of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie" and urges that there are no rights
except the rights of the people.
The organization, which is purely
non-partisan in character, is headed by
James Butler of Topeka, as president.
1t includes in its membership a num-
Der of prominent men in Topeka 7. A
McNeal and Robert Stone being among
the charter members.
The leagues plan of campaign is 20
take up various subjects of interest and
discuss them thoroughly, securing lee
tCrers from time to time whose special
ties are vital issues, with the idea of
securing broader information along all
lines. Among proposed topics of dis
cussion are the tariff, the trusts, con-
servation of natural resources, the in
itiative, referendum and recall, regula-
ton and ownership of public utilities,
the short ballot, sanitary regulations,
the pure food laws, etc, including also
the high cost of living and the reasons
therefore.
In it's declaration of principles the
league places itself on record as favor
ing a more equitable business relation
between producers and consumers; to
promote larger measure of justice be-
tween employer and the employed; to
work for a more direct anS less expen-
sive and more equitable system of pro-
cedure in the courts that will give the
same justice to the poor that it hands
to the rich; to secure reforms in taxa
ton; to promote the cause of equal
suffrage; to work Nor a scientific none
tary system giving the government
control of all currency that circulates
as money, and to create public senti-
ment in a way that will place human
life, human rights and human welfare
above the dollar, and that will tend to
establish a fair standard of character
in government. business and society.
On such a declaration of principles
and intention the league is asking the
co operation of all progressive men and
women, and expects to secure a big
The membership is not
limited to Topeka, Shawnee county or
the state of Kansas, but anyone, any
where, who is interested in the cause
may become a member of the league
under provisions made for membership
The promoters of the league believe, If
the organization succeeds as they hope
1t will, that it will prove a big step
forward toward better system of gov
eminent, and the conservation of the
rights of each individual citizen, not
because he has money, but simply be-
cause he is a citizen.
Any person desiring to join this
league should write to Mr.. Butler. the
president, and make application 1t is
planned to form branches all over the
state. There is talk of a big banquet
early in September.

HITS FUNSTON TOO.
Army Bill order" intended for Gen.
eraI Wood.

Washington, Aug. ga rider
(which affects the tenure of Office not
only of General Wood, chief of staff of
the army, but of General Funston and
others, has been discovered, it is said,
in the new army appropriation bill and
may result in it's being vetoed should It
mass both houses The original bill was
vetoed because of provision which
would have legislated General Wood out
of Office.
The rider is contained in a clause the
house and senate conferees agreed on
regarding the service record necessary
to make an officer eligible for chief Of
staff An administration officials noti-
fed the conferees upon authority of
President Taft, that the bill surely
would be vetoed if it again contained
such a provision.

S. Schepps, a resident of Los Angeles
for several years, and brother to Sam

had sent an emissary to his brother in
the Tombs, counseling him to tell the
authorities all he might know of the
affair and of the alleged collection of
millions of dollars from gamblers.
Schepps said that he and his wife
had been so annoyed by the receipt
of anonymous letters because of his
brothers connection with the Rosen-

take her out of the city for a while.

SEND WORKERS WEST
From Chicago $4,000 Men VIII Go to
the Fields.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Thirty thousand
laberers will be sent from Chicago in
the next week to meet the demand of
wheat growers in the west and north
west for harvest workers, according to
estimate of immigration agents for
several railroad companies.
The harveSters are being obtained
from the large cities east of the Mis-
siSsippi river with Chicago as the
shipping center. Heavy crops of wheat
are said to be in danger of ruin from
lack of help to harvest the grain. The
demand for men is said to be the
greatest in years. One immigration
agent said that North Dakota alone
wants $4,000 harvesters.
