KIDNAPS HIS WIFE
From Whom He Was Divorced and
Marries Her Again.

Galveston, Tex, Aug. 15.-George
Sweeney, a young man of this city,
was arrested on his arrival here on
charges of holding up an interurban
car, kidnapping and carrying a pistol.
Sweeney obtained a marriage license
here and boarded an interurban car
on which his wealthy young divorced
wife, accompanied by her brother, was
bound for Houston, Tex.
Twenty miles out, Sweeney, with a
pistol, held up the conductor, forced
him to stop the train and when the
train stopped, jumped with his di-
Vorced wife into a waiting automobile,
in which they were driven to justice
of the peace, in a lonely cabin, where
the couple were remarked.
Mrs. Sweeney's very wealthy parents
live at Houston, Tex. She eloped with
Sweeney just three years ago and was
married to him at midnight at Rich
mond, Tex. The couple went to the
bridegroom's parents in Brazoria
county to live. A year ago the brides
mother sent for her, stating she was
very sick.
Mrs Sweeney went home and later
her husband was denied admittance to
the house. Later he sued out habeas
corpus for possession of his wife,
which was granted. The brides moth
eT then sued to annul the marriage,
alleging Sweeney was Squandering his
wife's fortune and that the girl was
only 16 when she married. In July
last Mrs Sweeney sued for divorce.
Sweeney signed a waiver and the d.
vorce was granted six weeks ago.

THEY JOB M'COY
No Evidence Against Fighter,
Government Detectives Say.
Z. s. May Take Action on
Selby'S Behalf.

London. Aug. 15.-It is thought in
some quarters the United States gov
ernment may intervene in the case of
kid" Mccoy, (Norman Selby) the
American boxer, who was arrested on
July 26, on a provisional extradition
warrant on a charge of larceny, alleg-
ed to have been committed at Ostend.
but who later was released on bail.
Sheldon L. Crosby, third secretary of
the United States embassy, was pres
ent at Bow street police court today
when Mccoy again was brought up.
The magistrate remanded the accused
for another week at the request of the
Belgian authorities. Although the pa
pers connected with the suit arrived
here several days ago the attorney fo1
the Belgian legation declared he was
unable to proceed until additional pa
pers came from Ostend.
William Phillips, secretary of the
United States embassy, is making an
inquiry on behalf of the embassy
Friends of the American boxer assert
the Belgian authorities finding them
selves involved in an eXcusable blunder
are endeavoring to negotiate the un-
conditional release of Mccoy. Detec-
tives who have been working the
case declare openly they have no evil
dence against Mccoy.

IT SATISFIES ENGLAND
No Further Objection to Canal Bill
Is Expected.

Washington, Aug. 15.-It is said to
be reasonably certain no further pro-
test will be made by Great Britain on
behalf of English mercantile interests
against the Panama canal bill if it
takes finally the form reported yester-
day from the conference committee.
The British objection was laid against
discrimination against British ship
ping. AS such shipping is not now
privileged to enter into the American
coastwise trade, which alone is to re-
ceive favored treatment in the canal
that objection is overcome.
1t is regarded as possible, however,
that in Difference to Canada, the
British government may be led to OBJ
ject to the prohibition against the pas
sage of railroad owned ships, but state
department officials are confident OBJ
lection will not hold under the treaty
as prohibition is to apply to American
ships as we'll as others and there could
be no charge of discrimination there.

Now the Question Is, What VIII
the Party Council DoY
Not Known Definitely as Yet
Who VIII Be in Control.
LITTLE TALK OF new PLANKS
Not Known What Will Be Done
on Presidential Resolution.
Effect of Shawnee Taft Club on
the Campaign.

With the Republican party council
less than two weeks away, there has
been little or no discussion among
politicians concerning the things which
Kansas Repu blicans will write in their
platform this fall. Neither is it def
nitely known whether the council,
which meets in Topeka Tuesday, Au-
gust 27, will represent the views and
hopes of the Progressives or of the
regulars. The Progressive leaders
claim a majority in the council, but
have no definite figures with which to
back thier claims.
Not until ]. N. Dolley, chairman of
the Republican state committee, re-
turns the last of the wee;1 from Den
YER, will definite plans be formed for
the meeting of the council. 1t is
known that the Progressives will strive
to incorporate their views in the Kan
sas platform. 1t is equally certain that
the regulars will oppose anything that
borders on an effort to repudiate the
national administration or President
Taft. In fact the one big fight of the
council will likely hinge around any
effort to denounce the action of the
Chicago convention and the subsequent
nomination of President Taft by the
Republican national convention.

IN ANANIAS CLUB.
Roosevelt Adds the Name of Ex-Gov-
ernor OdelI to List.
The hourly readings

Oyster Bay, Aug. 15.-The testimony Of
Ex-Governor Benjamin B. Odell, of New
York, before the senate committee which
is investigating campaign funds, was con-
tradicted by Colonel Roosevelt.
81 am not interested in Mr.. Odelrs
hearsay statements Mr.. Roosevelt ex-
claimed. He declared that any man who
attempted to refute the statements whi' h
he had made in reply to the allegation
that he had requested E. H. Hartman to
raise funds for the 1904 campaign, branded
himself as dishonest and untruthful.
Col. Roosevelts statement regard
ing the $4,000 campaign contribu-
ton said to have been raised in 1904
by E. H. Hartman was endorsed by
George r. Sheldon, who was treasurer
of the Republican national commit
tee in 1904. Col. Roosevelt said Mr..
Sheldon telephoned to say the testi-
mony of Ex-Governor Benjamin B.
Odell of New York, before the SEN
ate committee yesterday did not agree
with what Mr.. OdelI had told him. At
the time Mr.. Sheldon gave out his
statement that Col. Roosevelt knew
nothing of the Hartman fund until
after election. Mr.. Oden said ac-
cording to Mr.. Sheldon, that this YER
sion of the matter was correct.

PENSION BILL PASSES
Old Soldiers Probably Will Get Money
Saturday.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Pensions for
thousands of veterans, held up by dis
agreement between the house and
senate over the s16O,OOO.OOO pension
appropriation, bill, may be paid Sat
urday. The house has agreed to the
senate's demand to abolish the eigh-
teen outlying pension agencies on Feb
ruary 1, 1913, and passed the bill,
with one minor amendment, which
will be adjusted. President Taft is
expected to sign it Immediately.
Checks for all the back pensions
are ready for mailing at the agencies.
As soon as President Taft signs the
bal all agencies will be notified by
telegraph to release the checks. Of
flc1alS estimate that every pensioner
in the United States ought to have a
check by next Tuesday at the latest.
Delay in passing the bill has caus-
ed much distress among the nation s
dependents. Many veterans. having
no other support have been obliged
to go to charitable institutions.
