Dear Sir-Mr. Reggie Williams of the Panama Excur-
sion Company showed your letter of the 5th inst and
told me of a conversation he had with you the tee
phone and asked to write you to the validity and
reliability of the proposition made by the company
toned.
The proposition made by the Panama Excursion Com
pany make certain payments lady representative
from each county in which the contest nauguraed is
had is perfectly legal and will be certainly carried
good faith The first money derived from each county,
when the required list is obtained is placed in special
deposit in the bank Of Lexington at this place. and be
used for no other purpose The Bank of Lexington has
capital stock and surplus of about $50 O0000 and alb
souely safe and its Cashier Mr.. L. Burwe will give
guarantee each county, it enters the contest that
the contract Of the Panama Excursion Company will be
performed and the proposition made good
There is just as much law for those choosing and
sending representative from each county, the Panama
Excursion as there is for similar action by the Mississippi
Excursion The law establishing that Commission au-
thorzed to receive of counties and municipalities to
make donations, BUT CONTAINS NOT A WORD IN RE-
GARD TO SPONSORSHIP OR ANYTHING PERTAINING
THERETO.
After this county, and a number of towns in it had
literally contributed the expenses of the Mississippi Ex
hib at the Panama Exposition under Chapter $780, page
POS of the laws of 1914 certain merchants not over
class in a town, provided with tickets for
voting for sponsor others denied participation. The
Manager of the Commission Mr. Smith, informed the PeO
pies Drug Store here that the sponsor contest matter
personal and could be given withheld according to
the Commission Mr. Reggie Williams of the prOpre
tors of the Peoples Drug Store then organized the Panama
Excursion Committee with liberal payments for ex
penses of county representative and with Bank Guar
antee of faithful performance
The county representative will have all the privileges
of any other lady from Mississippi because the officers in
charge of the Exposition extend and by law
compelled to extend the cOurtesies and privi-
leges to every Mississippi lady.
The only thing the Mississippi Commission con-
troll is who shall 60 the special train it procured
which is a small and immaterial matter to most people,

Some Accusations.
Some of the crimes he is wanted in
Wichita for are:
Holdup of boy and girl in Central
Riverside park and attach on gill.
Hold-up of Fairmount girl and her
escort and unsuccessful attack on the
| girl
Hold-up of married woman residing
on Pattie avenue and brutal treatment
of her.
Hold-up of two women and little
girl on College Hill, and attack on

Attempt to attack girls in fashion

Iment district.
Attack, years ago, on girl who with
her escort was sitting on Carleton
school house steps.
These rae not all the crimes he is
accused of committing in Wichita, so
the police say, but their record is in
complete.
Used Similar Methods.
His method, which he used in near
ly all places SO it is charged, was to
overcome the girls escort by threaten
| ing to kill him and then attacking the
girl, usually making the escort aid him
in stripping the victim. He always
robbed his victims.
Something like $4,000 in rewards

where he is wanted: Wichita, To

these are not all the places where he |
is said to have committed crimes.
His crimes outside of Wichita are |
numerous. In Topeka he forced boy |
to outrage his girl companion, by
threatening to shoot him. He had
first outraged the girl. At Lawrence
he caught a girl and boy in park,
forced the boy to undress the girl,
then he tied the boy to bench and
outraged the girl.
A number of other crimes of like
nature are accredited to Houser, who
physicians say is a pervert of the
worst type. His former wife also tells
of many unprintable things she en-
dured.
