The Cruiser Denver Is Ordered to
Acapulco.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The cruiser
Denver has been ordered from San
Diego to Acapulco, Mexico, where a
desperate situation is reported with
Americans in danger. She will sail
tomorrow and should arrive at the
Mexican port in about four days.
Commander Washington has about
270 jackies aboard and about a com
pany of marines.
The order was given today after
alarming reports of the activity of a
rebel band under Julio Radillo had
been received through Ambassador
Wilson at Mexico City. Consul Ed
wards at Acapulco had reported that
a warship should be sent. The last
report from Acapulco said Radillo's
men were operating in the country

every direction were pouring into the
Mexican ports on the Pacific. Depre-
dations and atrocities by the approach
ing rebel band were reported
Americans and other foreigners will
be taken aboard the Denver when she

the next week or ten days and will
doubtless be disposed of many days
before the 1913 lawmakers begin
packing their grips to go home.
Every effort is being made by the
friends of Governor Hodges to keep
the Democratic majority in both
houses in good working order. And
yet there is always that chance for
trouble. To be sure many of the
fights have already been ironed out
and so far as the sgeenral public is
advised there is nothing in the Demo-
cratic camp in Kansas TODAY except
peace, harmony and good will Yet
there are the disappointed ones. There
are the men who sought favor and
were denied. There are the men who
worked and lost thier reward because
there were mora workers than pie.
No one knows these things better
than the men who are DIRECTING he
legislative fight for the administra-
ton. They know that even harmony
at times grows cold or is frost bitten.
And in the same thought. they know
the party promises must be kept So
the administration bills will go
through the legislative mill early and
the mere fact that members of both
houses are waving the fair weather
signal, will not be accepted as an
excuse for delays.

DON'T ROB BANKER
Thief Who Picked BOnebrake'S
Pockets "Stung."
Secured Only Meal Ticket
Which Had Been Punched.

P. I. Bonebrake, in company with
several other we'll known Topeka citi-
zens, attended the inaugural reception
given by Governor and Mrs. Hodges on
Monday night. Mr.. Bonebrake is a
banker, the father of a banker. and
former treasurer of the state
Despite his familiarity with money,
his authority over money, and his
knowledge concerning money, Mr..
Bonebrake was ignominiously robbed.
In the crush was a man with n mean
spirit and crafty brain. He said to
himself, AHA! Here's a rich banker
I'm poor outcast, and this is the
chance of lifetime"
The thief thrust his long fingers into
Mr.. Bonebrake's pocket, and gloated
over the fat roll which came out. He
concealed the wallet and nonchalantIy
pursued his way through the crowd. He
sought a dark hall, and hid himself
behind a pillar. With trembling hands
he drew out the purse. He unfolded it
and found it was thinner than he had
expected. He explored it; he explored
it again. Then, cursing the fates that
had moved him to rob a banker, ne
cast the wallet from him. and strobe
penniless into the snow
When Mr. Bonebrake discovered his
loss, he remarked:
HE who steals my purse steals
tained a. meal ticket with three holes
left unpunched. Later in the evening
the ticket was rescued from the floor
where the mean spirited man had dis
dainfully cast it, Mr.. Bonebrake pock-
eted it, and laughed long and loud
The moral of this story is plain; YOU
may be robbed, and you may have rob-
from a banker, for it isn't worth
while
