HE'LL NOT DO 1T AGAIN
Half Nude Indians Wife Explains His
Immodesty.

A snap snot appeared in Tuesday s
paper to the effect that a half nude
Mexican was seen in the doorway at
the foot of the stairs that lead to Prof.
Harvey WorralPs studio while ladies
and others passed along the street in
front of the place. The item was true
except that the man was an Indian in
stead of 4 Mexican.
Mrs. Mary Wisca Curley. wife of
the man in question. writes letter to
the State Journal in explanation and
extenuation of the circumstances.
Here is the item that appeared in the
Journal Tuesday:
AT an early hour this morning
a Mexican clad only in a shirt,
stood in the stairway below Prof.
Harvey Worralls studio, S07 Kan
sas avenue, in conversation with
another man OF the sa me race. A
couple of women passed by on
their way to their early jobs in
restaurants The half nude Mex
lean was in plain view of persons
on the other side of the street

18th, was little news which has Gre
ated a sensation. and which has
caused me to be driven from my home
and the great city of Topeka.
ST will explain. The gentleman
called a Mexican was an Indian and
was my husband. He came to see the
circus in company with his near rela-
tive, John. They attended the circus
in the afternoon, coming back about
five o'clock rather 'shakey' from be-
ing too thirsty. I told them to lie
down and rest before going out again.
which they did. John gave me his
money and ticket to keep while he
went down for a chilli. He came back
about eight-thirty and lay down on a
rug and went to sleep. He said he
wanted TO get up early to catch the
1880 train as he had left his team at
Hoyt.
John was quite i'll during the night
but was able to get up at daylight and
start for the train. 1 gave him his
ticket and cash.
He started down stairs and I told
my husband to go down and open the
door for him as it has a Yale lock.
Pete did not want to go but he
did. 7 am sorry I did not go and let
him cut myself had no idea Pete
would be so foolish as to show the
ladies his legs. He should have had
more sense than to stand in the open
door I had no idea he would do more
than turn the lock and let John out
without his being seen.
perhaps he would not think very
much OF it if his bare legs were seen
for he is a full blood blanket Indian,
and thinks the white mans clothes a
great and abominable nuisance. His
idea of elegance in dress is pair of
beaded moccasins, bead belt, long
braided hair. earrings. necklaces. one
on more eagle feathers, and last but
not least a blanket. With these a real
Indian thinks himself modestly attired

!. C. C. Grants REIMBURSEMENT of
Iron and Steel Rates.
Gives Topeka an Equal Chance
With Kansas City.

Washington, Aug 20.-Increased
rates on iron and steel from the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers, Chicago
and intermediate territory to Utah,
Colorado and Kansas points have been
approved by the interstate commerce
mission.
The decision justifies the proposed
reimbursement of iron and steel rates
from St Louis Pittsburg and other
points in Central Freight association
territory to Oklahoma points and to
Fort Smith, Ark, and declares tnaI
existing rates from PittSburg and ST
Louis to Hutchinson, Wichita and To-
peka, Kan, "are not shown to be I'M
reasonable or unjustly discrimlna-
tory"
The decision follows complaints
from shippers and traffic associations
in the west.
Topeka manufacturers who use iron
and steel in their manufacturing
processes probably will have an equal
chance in competition with Kansas
City and eastern manufacturers as
result of the decision of the Interstate
commerce commission in the iron and
steel rate cases. According to the re-
port received here today the rates
from Pittsburg and st. Louis TO To-
peka, Hutchinson and wichita VIII re-
main the same and the rates from
Mississippi and Missouri river points
to Utah and Colorado will be in
creased. This should give the Kansas
manufacturers chance Tor reason
able competition, according to Judge
a. f. Helm, commerce counsel Tor the
Kansas public utilities commission,
and Martin Z. Casio, who argued the
cases for the commission in Washing
ton The two cases that affected Kan
sas were those of the Topeka Trafnc
association and the Wichita BUSINESS
association against the Santa F'e.
Under the old rates the local manu-
facturers could buy finished products
here just as cheaply as they could get
the raw material. The cost of iron
and steel to Topeka manufacturers
was just as high as the cost in Denver
and Utah. The Kansas cases asked
for a reduction in rates so that they
would not be discriminatory.
The decision of the interstate COM
nerce commission means a victory for
kansas manufacturers.

WHAT WAR MOVES MEAN.

New York. Aug. 20.-A curious
note of confidence concerning the
Balkan situation is rnanifesting itself
in Germany. The Germans seem to
possess certain information about the
diplomatic negotiations in Southern
Europe not generally known, and OBJ

fort from the details in its possession.
The attitude of Bulgaria is unques-
tionably the principal cause of Ger

Despite the frank statement of Bull

Bulgarian prime minister. Germany
is almost jocularly optimistic con-
corning the outlook. The only reason

September IL.

Arthur Burgess, a 17-year-old boy
is walking from Providence, r. l.,
to the worlds fair at Frisco. He
started April II and must complete
the trip by September II in order to
win prize of scholarship in Brown

the distance. His companion turned
back at Marshall, Mo, on account of
sore feet, and Burgess is continuing
the trip with only shepherd dog for
company. He carries 22-caliber
