WATSON DENIES IT.
Parsons Bank Row Did Not Cause
Resignation, He Says.

w. T. watson, former assistant bank
commissioner. denies that the Parsons
Mechanics State bank row had any
thing to do with his leaving the bank
commissioners office. mo one knows
why I quit but me- said Watson to-
day, land 1 am not ready to tell the
facts nthe case. The commissioner
himself does not know. Mr.. Watson
made the following statement in re-
gard to the Mechanics bank story
printed earlier in the week:
To the Editor Topeka State Journal:
My attention has just been called to
an article in your good paper under
date of April %, headed Fight for a
Bank in which the following ap
pears: 'Why w. T. Watson quit.
Claimed deputy bank commissioner
mixed up in row. 1t is said the Me-
chanics' state bank case, and not the
Aetna row. was responsible for w. T.
Watson leaving the state bank COM
missioner's office - Your information
so far as 1 am concerned is Incorrect.
I quit the bank commissioners Office
because 1 wanted to, for reasons best
known to myself. I have never made
a statement of these reasons to anyone,
hence any statement regarding the
matter must be guess work, and in
this case untrue.
1 trust you will give this brief state
ment the same prominence given the
former article. Very respectfully,
w. T. WATSON.

Off -
What did the defendant do then %
Objection by defense on the
grounds that contemplated answer was
not covered in the information and OBJ
lection was made to any testimony
concerning the shooting. The jury was
excused while the lawyers fought it
out. The court held against any tes-
timOny concerning the nature OF
brakes injury, his suffering or con-
dnement in the hospital, but said the
witness could answer the question.
When recalled to the stand, Miss
Wetzell said Dunford continued to
stand in front of Drake and the con-
ductor again told him to get off the
car. He backed into the Vestibule,
facing Drake and the conductor fol-
lowed him. 1t wis on the platform
that the shooting occurred.
How many shots were fired?'
'Just one
What did Drake do when shot ?"
There was another uproar from the
defense, but the witness was permit
ted to answer the question.
He stood as if dazed, then fell back
into the car
Where was Will Dunford ?"
81 couldn't see him.
The witness did not see the defen-
dant again that night. but saw Will
DunfOrd at the Elliott home, where
Drake was taken after the shooting.
She said the conductor lay on the floor
of the car for several minutes before
being removed.
He Admitted Shooting.
Otto Anderson. a plain clothes man,
peated conversation with James Dun
ford in which the defendant assumed
all of the blame for the shooting and
asked the officers not to hold his
brother.
Il will make the best I can of this,
Dunford told Anderson, land all 1 ask
is for you to treat me right.
Anderson identified a 81 caliber pearl
handle revolver which was found in
Dunford's possession after the shoot
ing.
Late yesterday evening the state lost
a point, it is claimed, when it chal-
lenged for cause Abe Fullford, tales
man, after both the state and defense
had formally waived their peremptory
challenges. The court held that Full
ford could not be removed at that time
and the man was permitted to sit on
the jury.

TWO BOYS
But Fred Leak VIII Probably
Lose Arm.
Runaway Horse Bites Man
Who Tries to Stop Him.

In attempting to save the lives of
three little boys who were bouncing
about in the wagon behind a runaway
team at 2:45 o'clock this afternoon.
Fred Leak of 1416 North Van Buren,
street sustained an injury that may
cost him the use of his right arm. 1t
is possible that the arm may be am
putated-
The Hasty Messenger company
team driven by a boy who had two
other boys in the seat beside him be-
came frightened at the corner of
Seventh and Quincy streets and start
ed on a race toward Sixth avenue
north on Quincy street.
The two horses were wild with
fright and the flimsy wagon behind
them was swaying and bouncing
along the pavement. Fred Leak ran
out from the sidewalk and made
lunge at the reins of one of the
horses. The horse turned and clamped
his Jaws deep into Leaks arm. He
was thrown to the pavement and the
arm lay under his body limp and
bleeding.
w. w. Young, who was on the other
side of the team, made a slash with a
cold chisel at the braces and the horses
were turned loose before they had over
turned the wagon and caused serious and
possible fatal injury to the boy occu-
pants.
Leak was rushed to Christ's hospital.
His arm was nearly bitten in two and 1t
is feared that amputation will be neces-
Sary. The names of the boys were NOT
known this afternoon.

BRITISH DON'T LIKE 1T.
Titanic Investigation Is Resented al
London.

London, April 25.-The British pub
lie is displaying much resentment at
the course the committee inVeSti-
eating the Titanic is taking regarding
the detention of British subjects and
the manner of their examination.
The matter is being discussed every
where and the attitude generally is
taken that ]. Bruce Ismay, president
of the Mercantile Marine, and the
crew of the Titanic were convicted
before the hearing.
The subject is one of great anxiety
in official circles and it is feared that
should the senate committee condemn
the company and the crew it's action
would give rise to i'll feeling between
the two peoples. Thus far the Brit
ish foreign Office has simply asked
Ambassador Bryce for information re-
garding the inquiry. The dissatisfac-
ton of the public might be alleviated
If it had a clearer idea as to the scope
cation. 1t is admitted the senate has
a perfect right to inquire into the
death of Americans but it is felt that
the committee is going far beyond
this.
Some of the questions asked by SEN
ator Smith, chairman of the commit
tee, are reproduced and editorially
ridiculed in the newspapers today. The
Globe refers to the senator as a born
fool and "a gentleman from the
wilds of Michigan who possibly is
compelled by the exigencies of cleo
pioneering to be as insolent as possible
quiry is very much in his hands, and
the best efforts of the more reputable
senators hardly can serve to nullify
the harm he has done"

HEALTH CERTIFICATES.
First Couple to Comply With Doctor
SheldOn's Requirements.

Probably the first instance of mar
rage in Topeka, where health certtfl-
cate was required, took place Wednes-
day afternoon, the Rev. c. M. Sheldon
officiating. The gentleman and his
bride-to-be were examined by two OF
Topeka's reputable physicians, one be-
ing a lady doctor, and the other
prominent young physician of this city.
The health certificates were then pre-
scented to DR.. C. M. Sheldon, who per-
formed the marriage ceremony. The
bridal couple were Miss Lenora Pierce
of 1908 Western avenue and Mr.
Eugene Peak of Chillicothe, Ill.
In speaking of the matter of health
and marriage DR.. Sheldon said to-
day: 1.-The only existence of state
law requiring that only people who are
mentally and physically sound be al
lowed to marry, is in force in Illinois.
However, cannot but think of the in
estimable value of such a law, and
believe that it will only be a matter
of time until laws regarding health
and marriage will be universal. and be
written upon the statute books of
every state in our country"
Doctor Sheldon has announced that
he will not marry couples unless the
parties to the contract have health
certificates.
