Sheriff Kiene Fears Mexican
Uprising in Topeka.
Instigation May Interfere With
Police Power.
HIDE Fu6IT|vES IN HOMES
Officer Says 1t Is Difficult to
Make Capture Here.
Scene of Race War May Be
Enacted Locally.

The fear that the recent Mexican
1nsttgatton in Topeka may result in
serious interference with police pow
er by the foreigners is expressed today
by L. L. Kiene, sheriff OF Shawnee
county.
Let this alleged Mexican consul
continue holding meetings and teach
ing the Mexicans of Topeka to believe
that they are being mistreated; that
they have a right to resist officers OF
the law. and that they will be protect
ed In doing SO. and 1t is probable that
Topeka will In the near future be the
scene OF a race war;, the sheriff said
today in discussing the activities OF
Pedro F. Osorio Of Kansas City, who
represents himself to be a Mexican
consul. and who, after organizing a
society among the Mexicans in To-
peka, sent some sassy kilograms to
the mayor, chief Of police and sheriff,
citizen of the United States from Mex
leo. says were sent for advertising
motives. Some Mexicans. misled by
this man. will resist arrest. Other
misguided countrymen OF his will
come to his aid and battle will re-
suit" the sheriff continued.
Osorio's version of the purpose of
the organization he is forming is that
it is an 'uplift" movement, designed
for educational and moral elevation of
the race. But Alba, who is a deputy
sheriff. things another motive more
plausible.
There are nearly six hundred Mex
leans in Topeka, alone. When all the
territory covered by South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa,
for which Osorio claims to be consul,
Is considered. the Mexican popula-
ton must run into several thousands.
But I do not care what is done
with the money received by the con-
sui from the Mexicans over the coun-
try" said the sheriff. "It is not my
business how it is spent. The impor-
tant thing is what is said at the meet
ings of this organization. Are ignor-
ant Mexicans going to be misled into
causing trouble for themselves and
for the officers by indammatory
speeches delivered at these meetings
1.-THE attitude Of most Of the Next
cans toward officers of the law is bad
enough now. They aid persons sought
by the police, permit them to hide in
their houses and refuse to give infor-
nation. Already they have been told
that an officer in pursuit OF a fleeing
criminal has no right to enter a pri-
vate home to make a capture-some-
thing which is untrue and absurd
but which nevertheless is likely to
cause trouble. The officers will OF
course continue to use their rights in
running down accused persons"

The first deacons were H. w. Farms
worth and James Cowles. The church
was organized in the cabin of Mr..
Cowles. The first trustees were Milton
G. Dickey. John Richie and H. p.
Waters. Rev. Paul Shepherd and Rev.
Jonathan Copeland had oversight of
the infant church until October, 1856
when Rev. Lewis Bodwell became pas
tor. On the Sunday following Mr.. Bod
wells assumption of the paStOrate,
Nov. 2, 1856 the Lords Supper was cele-
brated in Topeka for the first time.
Steps had already been taken toward
the erection of place Of worship.
The town company donated the site
of the present building at Seventh and
Harrison streets. Eastern friends helped
the young church and the foundations
or the first structure were laid in the
fall of 1857. The next year the walls

being mostly performed by the MEM
bers including the pastor. Before the
building was rooted a violent storm
reduced the walls to ruins.
Rebuilding was undertaken in the
spring of 1850. Again the wind de-
stroyed the south wall. But in spite
or all ANNOUNCEMENTS and reverses the
building was completed at a cost of
$1,000 and dedicated early in 1861 This
is the only one of Topeka's older
churches which has remained on its
original site. When the first building
was begun it was SO fa- out at the
edge of town that many asked why the
new church was being built out of town.

years. He became one of Topeka 8
foremost citizens and entered into all
the best life of the growing city. He
became also thoroughly identified

THE WAR TAX

The war tax, as agreed on by
Democratic House caucus, APP
proved by the President and Mr..
Underwood and, in the material
form in which it will be enacted,
adds to the special and stamp
taxes imposed during the Span
ish-American war a tax on beer,
wine and gasoline.
Aside from Republican oppo-
sition, which sees in the imposi-
ton of any tax the first oppor-
tunity for the manufacture of po-
litical capital which has presented
itself in long months of weary
waiting, the country is disposed
to look on the situation with
measure of philosophy.
It is a debated question as to
the effect of Democratic tariff
in the decrease in revenue. 1t is
an incontestable fact that the
war, which is the protectionist
theory under most favorable con-
ditions, has reduced revenues IN
such fashion and extent as this
country has never before known
The war is a condition. The
best the Republicans can make out
of the tariff for their present pur-
! poses is a theory. The debt is
here and has to be paid, though
the great majority of Americans
agree with Mr.. Wilson that we
did not incur it.
/ Happily the provisions OF the.
war tax measure arc likely to
4 prove annoying rather than bur
densome. Red tape will have to
: be submitted to and inconsider-
able expenditures made by the
average citizen, but he is not 60
ing to have the cost of living no
ticeably increased thereby. Until
an experience of that nature is
chargeable to the Administra-
ton, the aforesaid average citizen
may be counted on to preserve
both his good sense and his good
'tcmper-LouiSville Times.
