PRISON TRUSTY GONE.
Leaves Clothes, Bible and a Note on
Bank of the Missouri River.

Lansing, Kans., June 30.-On the
bank of the Missouri river near his
clothing and an open Bible, prison off,
Gals today found a note from Charles
Baughm, a trusty at the state prison,
telling the officials not to look for his
body. Yet whether Baughm's body is
in the river, or whether the convict
adopted this novel method of throwing
prison officials off the track and to
cover his escape, is a question that has
not been determined
S Baughm came to the state peniten-
tiary several years ago from Coffey-
vile. He was convicted in the Mont
gomery county district court for a
statutory offense and had for some
time been a trusty on the prison farm.
Sunday morning box came to
Baughm from his home Then Baughm
told the prison officials that he believed
he would go fishing. At night the
trusty failed to report when the roll
was called. This morning his clothing
was found on the bank near the Mis-
souri, river. Beside his clothing lay an
open Bible. A note to Warden Codding
was in the Bible. 1t read:
L am tired of living in this place for
nothing. If 1 had been guilty, I'd stuck
it out like a man. I'm not guilty and
L am going to end life in the river.
Thanks for all the kind treatment.
was treated fine. Don't recover my
body. 1 don't want my people to see
it,
ed and there is doubt in the mind of
the prison officials as to whether the
man really drowned himself or took
advantage of the opportunity to escape
and left his clothing and the note to
deceive the officers

This IS TAG DAY.
Steady Stream of Applicants for Auto
mobile Licenses.

Last day to get state automobile
tags without paying a maximum fine
of $50. The office of the country
treasurer, where the licenses are sold,
handled bills like a national bank this
morning. Fifty licenses were sold
before noon. County Treasurer
Weightman expected to issue fifty
more before night. The office has sold
zoo licenses since June /; the tags are
mailed from the office of the secre-
tary of state.
The be1ated automobile owners, who
trailed into the office of the county
treasurer today. were quite willing to
admit they had waited till the last
minute in order to secure a tag with
a large number.
A farmer in a straw hat left his
sleepy runabout before the court
house. The runabout couldn't speed
up to 20 miles an hour if it tried:
for that matter, the old man never
wanted to go 20 miles an hour
Give me a big number" he de-
manded shrewdly, I'm not going to
get fined for speeding if / can help
it,"
We've taken in about $4,000 for
automobile licenses this month"; was
Mr.. Weightman's estimate.

pected to be sympathetic to their in

favorable members of committees that
handled labor legislation; and that his
assistants had used great efforts to Sc
cure the establishment of a federal
tariff commission in 1908 as a means
of delaying tariff revision, are con-
tanned in the long article under Mr..
Mulhalls name.
The writer said he had spent over
100000 on his lobbying work; that
he had conducted state and congress
sional campaigns; helped to break up
labor unions, and had personal knowl
edge of the extent to which influence
exerted by his associates had Swayed
legislators and legislation.
Subpoena Emery.
Senator Overman declared subpoe-
mas would also be issued for James A.
Emery, representative of the National
Manufacturers association, as Wash
ington, whom the Mulhall article des-
ignates as a lobbyist for the associa-
ton at Washington, and for former
Congressman James E. Watson of In
diana, referred to in the Mulhall state
ment as an "insdious lobbyist" for
members of the Manufacturers asso-
who were lobbying in the
fight for tariff commission in 1908.
Representative Sherley stated today
that he proposed to ask the house on
Wednesday to authorize an investiga-
ton of its own and would bring up
the question as a matter of the high

HARVEST beer CROP.
Officers Reap Three Cold Ones in a
Potato Field.

Half a dozen county officers con-
Quoted a raid on joints Saturday even
ing, captured three ice-cold bottles
of beer in a potato patch, twenty
empty bottles in a hedge and arrested
five jointiSts, one man and two wo-
men who have been violating the pro-
hibitory law in a most adroit manner
for about two weeks.
Heine Stout, his wife Josephine and
his wife's sister. Emma Carey, have
been doing sleight-of-hand tricks With
iced lager and dusty Blue Ribbon.

west. Nothing doing at the Stout
house: nobody home at the Carreys

queried the chief.
1t was Emma Carey; she had
strolled to her potato patch carrying
a baking dish: They asked her what
it contained. Potatoes" she respond
ed. Search revealed a thin layer of
potatoes rolling about the pan. Tracks
led to a growth of weeds containing
three ice-cold bottles of beer ard
quart of whisky. A neighbor appear
ed and testified he had seen Emma Sc
crete the bottles in the weeds. The
deputies investigated the hedge sur
rounding the field and located some
20 empty bottles.
Heine is notorious jointist-has
been arrested four times recently; the
three were marched to the county Jail
where the two women were released
on $500 bond signed by Otto Anderson
and Mrs. William Briggs.
The raid in the evening resulted in
the breaking up of a key party at 500
Kansas avenue; Charlie Johns and
Bud Muir somewhat the worse for
fist scrap, were arrested. Walter Rob
erts and Henry Perry, 400 Quincy,
and Dick Hoffman, 321 East First

and taken to Jail.

GEAR SAYS ROBBED.
Segrist Responsible for Kaw's Defeat
Get New Infielder.

The Kaws returned this morning from
Omaha where they won two out of
three and got robbed of the third by
poor umpiring. They won the first and
second and Umpire Segrist was re-
sponsible for the loss of the other.
Manager Dale Gear has picked up
a young college player named Barry
who will be given a trial on the Kaw
infeId. He will work at third base to-
day in the place of George Cochran
who was injured in the final game at
Omaha.
Barry comes to Manager Gear with
excellent recommendations There is
but little chance for him to win a reg
ular job at the third station but he
may be able to win a regular berth at
second. The Kaws need more hitting

HURON FILES REPORT.
June Was a Light Month in the PO-
lice Court.

The monthly report of the police
court was filed today with the city
officials by Police Judge George A.
Huron The work this month has
been lighter than last month the
liquor offenders being especially eau
tions. During the summer months
the criminal class is quiet and not so
active as in the winter Judge Huron
has received full payments for 81
fines, there being few whose cases
court The amount of the fines turned
over to the city treasury this month
is S7662.35, which is nearly $500 less
than May
There were between 40 and SO pris-
oners in the city prison all last month,
while today there are 10. Judge
Huron points to the fact that there
have only been two or three persons
who have made a second visit to the
police court during his term of Of
flee. The costs paid by defendants
in the court during the month of
June amount to 1915.
Mrs. Laura E. Thorpe, police ma
tron, and the two policewomen, Miss
Elizabeth N. Barr and Miss Eva Corn
ing, have been busy this month with
the wofen's quarters of the Jail There
was only one prisoner who caused
much trouble, Myrtle Chesney, col
ored, who broke up most of the fur
niture in her cell while under the
influence of liquor. The policewomen
have made numerous visit to aid
those in distress.
There have been many improve
ments on the jail this month which
have cost the city very little. The
whole interior has been repainted, in
Guiding the police court and the Of
flee of Chief Hughes. The women's
quarters have had new wall paper
and all the woodwork vanished.
Practically all of the work has been
done by prisoners in paying their
fines. About $1,000 worth of i'm
provements have been installed and
very little had to be paid out of the
city treasury.

castle at Bafron. Stirtingshire, one of
the largest in Scotland, was burned
today and only the bare walls remain.
The fire seemed to have been incen-

The usual rumors laying the blame
for the outrage on the militant suf-

with it.
The castle cost 100000 and was
built by Sir Archibald Ernest Orr

treatment the Kaws got in the final
game at Omaha. While Umpire Segrist
made number of bad decisions, some
could have been averted under a double
umpire system but at that, the umpire
made some inexcusable mistakes.
Among the decisions was the one
calling Smith out at the plate. The
Omaha players and fans even admitted
a mistake. The same umpire allowed
the Denver club to "get his goat" in
the series just before Topeka went to
Omaha.
Rourke was prevented from fighting
him on the streets one night after the
