ATTACKED At HOME

San Francisco Cal, Aug. %
Governor johnson, the vice-preSden-
tial candidate on the progressive
partys ticket is arranging to leave

Colonel Roosevelt in his campaign,
He goes under fire OF criticism
from some of his opponents regard
ing alleged expenditures the
states money for personal campaign
uses. 1t is claimed that bills on
file in the office of the state comp
troller disclose the governor hand
in diverting state funds for the pur-
pose of strengthening his personal
political machine. During the first
six months of his administration
Governor Johnson filed with his
claims against his fund of $4,000
a year for postage, expressage, tel
egraphing, travelling and contingent
expenses, the itemized hills of the
Western Union Telegraph company

grams were sent to politicians in
various parts of the country and
state for personal purposes and
the state paid the bills The friends
of Gov Johnson say that his enc
mics are trying to make political
capital out of perfectly legitimate
executive matters, and that he can

P. 0. INSPECTOR
TRAPS NEGRO
AND CHASE OVER THREE STATES
ENDS BY HIS ARREST AT TUL-
SA.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 29.-John
Riley, negro, who was arrested at Tul-
sa, Okla, Friday, charged with rob-
bing a postoffice box at Salina, Kas.
July IS, after being chased through
the states of Oklahoma, Kansas and
Texas by postoffce inspectors, owes
his capture an ingenious trap laid
by inspectors at Salina.
A wholesale grocery firm at Sa-
lima made several complaints to
the postoffice authorities that their
mail was being stopped and report
ed the loss of several orders and
tiles were unable to find a clue.
Finally they decided that someone
was getting the mail out of lock
box. An electric alarm was so ad-
justed that when the lock box was
opened it would ring.
On the afternoon of July Is the
alarm rang and when the inspectors
went to the front they discovered
Riley, who said he was the porter
employed by the grocery compay.
He was allowed to go, but the in
spectors afterwards discovered that
the firm employed no porter by that
name. Such a good description had
been obtained of the negro that he
was easily traced. He changed his
address often, and led the inspec-
tors a long chase, finally being over
taken at Tulsa.
His preliminary hearing has been
set for September at Salina. The
case was investigated by Postoifice
Inspectors j. T. Elson and L. Z.
Chance.

Ship il Now.

Our patrons are urged TO act
promptly in forehand way in any
necessary movement of freight. Cars
are not too plenty at. present, but
week by week for some months the
demand for them will grow, and it
is the part of prudence to order
reasonable stocks of merchandise
for immediate shipment, to store
at least part of the winter coal
now and to not hold back wheat
and oats shipments waiting a better
market for same. There will be
ample opportunity to hold them a
few weeks from now, when the cot
ton movement is pressing, and when
one of the largest all-round crops
the country has ever raised is de-
shipping facilities.
The whole problem is more than
one of cars and engines. 1t involves
even more largely the over-crowd-
ing of division point and terminal
facilities: the possibilities of inter-
change of the heavy volume OF
traffic between the various rail
ways; the capacity of elevators and
etc.
This note of appeal is not written
with any intent to alarm; only to
urge our friends to take advantage
at once of any surplus carrying
power the railways now have in
,rder to partly avoid the congestion
which is coming.
For the Frisco Lines.
B. l.. WINCHELL,
President.
