An American officer who has seen
service In the Philippines gives the
following illustration OF Filipino ju-
dicial acumen: "An American came
home one day Just In time to see a
thief in the act OF climbing out OF the
window with the better part OF the
Americans wardrobe. He gave chase
so earnestly that the thief was finally
obliged to drop the clothing so that he
might run the faster. He soon dis
appeared from sight. The American
gathered up his belongings. Just
then along came a native policeman
who proceeded to put the American
under arrest, since he seemed TO be
acting in a suspicious manner. To
the local magistrate before whom he
was hailed the American told his story
very plainly and emphatically. When
he had concluded the Filipino judge
said: You are dismissed, but you may
leave your clothes here WhyT de-
manded the American. For this rea'
son. answered the magistrate. witt

certain whether you speak the truth

OWES THE CITY.
County Is Indebted to Munich
paIity i'm Sum of $4,000.
Running Account Dates Back a
Period of 20 Years.

For twenty years the city of Topeka
has been negligent and hasn't been
collecting its share of the penalties
and special assessments on taxes col
lected by the county and now the
county owes about $4,000 to the city,
according to figures which are being
compiled by Matt Weightman, Jr.,
county treasurer. The exact amount
of the debt will be given to the city
commissioners late this afternoon or
early tomorrow morning and a bill for
this amount will be presented to the
county commissioners sometime this
week.
The county commissioners have not
yet decided how they will meet this
contingency Although they would
not make any definite expression of
their action it is thought that this
money will be paid by the county
without risking a suit by the city.
A law which was put on the statute
books in 1895 gave cities of the first
class permission to get their per cent
of the tax penalties collected by the
county, but the city officials up to
this year have made no effort to col
lect this money.
apparently the city officials just
forgot to collect this money during
the last twenty years." said Mayor Jay
E. House, this morning.
Through George Hayden, city at
torney, the city commissioners made
arrangements to get the figures from
Mr.. Weightman, and agreed to give
the county treasurer per cent of the
amount due the city for the work done
in compiling the figures. Mr.. Weight
man, John Wright and Frank Bowen
have been working since May, going
through the records twenty years back,
to get the amount the county owed
When this amount is determined the
city will present a bill to the county
commissioners.
The effort to get this money by the
city officials is a direct result of
recent ruling of the supreme court
which stated that the county commits
sioners of Wyandotte county should
pay the back penalties and assess
ments due to the commissioners of
Kansas City, Kan. This is the prece-
dent upon which the city of Topeka
bases it's claim against the county.
The statute covering the question
reads: ION January Is, April 5, July
Is and October 5 the county shall
pay over to the city treasury all money
due the city and it's portion OF penal
ties and interest thereof" In 1908 an
amendment to this section was made
to include special assessments"

EGGS BRING TROUBLE
Prisoner Charged With Stealing a Half
a Car Load.

Desire to obtain eggs which we're
piled on the platform of the American
Express company at the Union depot
in Denver, Colorado, was the downfall
of John B. Chadwick now in the
Shawnee county Jail.
Federal officials charge that Chad
wick stole about a half a carload of
eggs taking them a crate or Two at
time. The federal officials of Colo
RADIO and Kansas turned their atten-
ton toward Chadwick when it was
found that the eggs were Interstate
shipments.
Recently Fred Robertson, United
States district attorney, heard that
Chadwick was in Cottonwood Falls
Saturday evening Deputy United States
Marshal jackson, armed with a war
rant, went to Cottonwood Falls and
returned with Chadwick. He is now
in the county Jail here on default of
$3.50 bond and will be returned to
Colorado soon.

THOMPSON FROM RENO
Topeka Merchant Once Candidate for
County Attorney There.

Hutchinson. Kan. July 2o.-W. A.
L. Thompson, banker and wholesale
merchant, of Topeka, is in Hutchinson
this week to witness the great tractor
tourna ment; incidentally picking up
advance customs of metropolitan life.
Mr.. Thompson was one O.; the orig
inal settlers on the tOwnsite of Hutch
inSon.
Fred Vandergrift. the pioneer Kan
sas newspaper writer and political
reporter, who has now settled down
and is telling the farmers about the
vast opportunities on Santa Re lands,
as one of the Santa I'e's publIcists
tells this story on Mr.. Thompson:
TT was in 1871, before the town
had settled down to be well ordered
community. Mr.. Thompson and an
associate owned a lot in EhaS now
is the heart of Hutchinson. ana were
preparing to build a StOrehOuSe, and
go into general merchandising.
1.-The county election was coming on
and the Republicans organized to cap
ture the offices. There were men
available for every office, except that
of county attorney. There was not a
lawyer in the county, not even Dem
Ocratic lawyer
But a lawyer was sure to come in
time for the election, and so a cattle
man rose in the convention, saying,
Mr.. Chairman: This young man
6pointing to Mr.. Thompson) looks the
part, and we will just nominate him,
until a Republican lawyer shows up
to take his place on the ticket It's
a vote. said the chairman, without
putting the question. '"Mr. WHAT'S
His-Name" is our candidate for county
attorney
And so Mr.. Thompson was the Re-
publican candidate for some weeks,
until a Republican lawyer appeared
and was given a place on the ticket.
Mr.. Thompson, afterward. traded
his merchandise for a bunch OF cattle.
Soon afterward he went to Topeka to
live, where he engaged in the hard
ware business; later becoming inter-
ested in the Merchants National bank
there

There was not a sign of trouble and

Il believe Kansans drink more tea,

Reports on file in the department
show that the consumption OF these
beverages is increasing constantly in

PLAN A BIC WEEK
JObberS and Manufacturers to
Entertain Kansas Merchants.
Details Will Be Worked Out
Tuesday of Next Week.

Anywhere from 1000 to 5000 Kan
sas merchants will be the guests of
the Topeka Jobbers and Manufactur-
ers association at Merchants
Week entertainment next fall. An
informal discussion of the big event
took place at a meeting of the organ
ization held today at the Commercial
club quarters. No decision was made
as to the date of the entertainment.
Samuel E. Lux, president and manager
of the big free fair, suggested that it
be held the week of September 10,
while the fair is in progress, but there
was some opposition on the part of
several of those who believed that it
should be an entirely distinct affair.
The members will meet for 6
o'clock dinner week from Tuesday
evening at the Commercial club quar-
ters at which time the date will be
determined.
H. H. Pugh was named as presi-
dent of the association to succeed
Charles P. Adams, who has held office
for several years. Other officers: w.
H. Davis, vice president; Ed Grote,
secretary; T. C. Whitteker, treasurer;
j. Will Kelley, director of amuse-
ments.
Last One Brought 100.
The last Merchants Week" enter
tainment-the fourth in a series, was
held in 1911 with an attendance of
approximately 100 merchants from
all parts of Kansas.
Charles P. Adams suggested at the
meeting today that the entertainment
take the form of a merchants chau-
tauqua. His plan was to hold it in
October on the fair grounds, proVid-
ing two or three hundred tents for
those who might care to indulge in
camp life. He proposed that experts
on affairs of interest to the retailers
be procured as speakers, and that the
meetings be held in the open air at
various points of interest-Gage park,
Garfield park, etc
Samuel E. Lux of the free fair be-
lieved that the attendance would be
materially increased were the event
held fair week.
The Commercial club expects to
have it's permanent entertainment or
ganization perfected by fall and it is
likely that a special stunt will be
pulled off, for the merchants. They
undoubtedly will be initiated into the
mysteries of new secret order.

ROW AT CITY HALL.
East Side Delegation Involves Com
miSsioncrs in a Quarrel.

A delegation of citizens from the
East side appeared before the city
commission and complained about the
Biddle creek spillway on Locust
street today. The delegations said
they had no. plans as to how matters
might be remedied, but thought it
was the duty of the city to provide
relief from the frequent overfloMs.
After talking some time one OF the
men remarked:
Il do not think the city commits
sioner of streets is very enthusias site
about the matter, I do not think he
cares much.
Don't get smart replied Tandy,
IF you are looking for a row, you can
get it anytime you want it,
The East siders complained that
the East side is being neglected by
the city. Commissioner Porter, upon
whose initiative Klein park was pur-
chased and is to be paid for 10y the
city at large, while all other city parks
have been paid for by a tax on the
benefited property, resented this
