STOLE A LAVATORY
Arthur Taylor Is Convicted of Grand
Larceny; He May Get Years.

Arthur Taylor was convicted of
grand larceny in the second division
of the district court following an all
day trial. He was found guilty of
stealing an expensive lavatory and
large plate glass mirror from the
wreckage of the old Foster home at
Eleventh and Harrison streets.
The Foster property was purchased
by Fred Robertson, United States dis
trict attorney, and was torn down to
make room for a modern apartment
house. The finer fixtures were stor-
ed in barn on the property. The
lavatory and mirror disappeared from
the barn and the police traced them
to a second hand dealer.
Archie Rogers and Arthur Taylor,
both colored, were arrested and charg-
ed with stealing the articles. They de-
manded separate trials and Taylor
was convicted. Taylor has not yet
been sentenced but he may get from
one to five years in the penitentiary
1t Is rumored that Rogers will plead
guilty following the finding of the
jury in the Taylor case

ALLEY CASE IS ON
Boy in Suit for $4,000 Against Usage
County.

The jury in the federal district court
is still listening to testimoney in the
SIS. 600 damage suit brought by the
Alleys against Usage county The case
was on trial all day yesterday and the
indications are that it will last all day
today.
The action was brought by a boy,
now seven years of age, through his
father, Abijah Alley. The Alley fam
lily now lives in Oklahoma on a farm
but at the time the accident out of
which the damage suit grows. occur
red, they lived in Usage county. The
boy is in court, with hole in his skull
as mute evidence of the fall he sus-
tanned when he was thrown off a
bridge near Melvern several years ago.
The contention of the plaintiff is
that a team the Alleys were driving
scared at a drove of hogs as the horses
were driven up on a bridge and backed
off, throwing the boy into ditch and
fracturing his skull on a rock. The
hole in the skull has never healed and
attorneys for the plaintiff maintain
that he is permanently injured. They
hold that the county is liable because
the bridge was not properly safe
guarded.
While the hole is the skull was not
exhibited to the jurors they had ample
opportunity to view it as the chief
played around the court room

ADMIT FORGING CHECK
Witnesses in Elmer Wilson Case Plead
Guilty to Charges Against Them.

Geneva Jackson and Nina Scott
pleaded guilty in the second division
of the district court today to forgery.
Both girls are under age and are col
ored. Their adventure in the field of
high finance was of brief duration.
They forged the signature of w. A. L.
Thompson to a check and cashed it
at the Crosby Bros. store. They rep
resented that they had been employed
at the Thompson home and that the
check was given in payment for their
services.
The check reached the hands of E.
H. Crosby before the girls had gone
far and he followed them to the Pax
ton & Paxton store, where he had
them arrested. They declined to plead
guilty at the time and were due for
trial at the present term of court.
Both of them were witnesses in the
statutory case against Elmer Wilson
on trial in the district court. Both
were complaining witnesses.

Sheriff Kiene Doesn't Think He
Assaulted Teacher.

lowing Wakarusa Affair.

L. L. Kiene, sheriff, is convinced
that Frank Meyer is not guilty of the
assault on Bertha Curran at Waveland
school house west of Wakarusa Tues
day. He kept Meyer at the county
Jail over night because Meyer wanted
to stay but he sent him back home
Sheriff Hixon.
alleged assault until neighbors of Miss
Curran brought Meyer to the county
Jail last night. The assault had not
been reported. Meyer told a straight
story and Sheriff Kiene, after talking
with the men who brought him in,
was inclined to let him go, but Meyer
wanted to stay. He did not relish GO
ing back into the neighborhood last
night while telling was running SO
high.
Hugh Larimer, undersheriff, said
today that Meyer had no marks on his
hands that could be considered the
marks of teeth and Miss Curran main
tains that she bit her assailant on the
hand. Deputy Sheriff Hixon is max
ing an investigation in the Waveland
neighborhood today but the last report
from him was that the car in which he
made the trip had broken down and
that he was not making much pro-
gress.
Child Saved Her.
The fact that ole pupil remained at
the school building for her parents to
come after her, saved Miss Bertha
Curren, teacher at Waveland school,
from unknown horrors at the hand of
an assailant late Tuesday afternoon.
Miss Curren, the teacher, went to an
outbuilding after school closed and
was attacked by an unknown man
whose face was covered with a veil.
She screamed and the little child,
Helen Trousner, ran for help. That
frightened the assailant and he fled.
Miss Curren teaches at the school
located three miles west of Wakarusa
She is % years of age. Following the
attack she was taken to the home of
George Mahon and last night suffered
from the shock. But she is not in
jured in any way Feeling in the
school district is intense and posses
formed as soon as the report of the
attack spread over the neighborhood.
Tracks were followed from the
building where the attack was made
to the place where Frank Mover a
young farm hand, is employed. Meyer
claimed he was shocking corn in a
nearby field at the time the assault
took place, but because of the agita-
ton he came to Topeka last night and
asked for permission to spend the
night in the county Jail. He was not
placed under arrest

T.R. PHOTO STARTS RIOT
Applause Louder for Roosevelt Than
for Washington or Lincoln.

Philadelphia, April 12.-Applause
that bordered on the riotous greeted
the picture of Theodore Roosevelt
when it was flashed on a screen at u
preparedness meeting attended by five
hundred manufacturers at the Manu-
facturers' club last night. Joseph A.
Steinmetz of the Aero club of Penn
sylvania, promoter of a school of avia
ton as a measure of national defense
at League Island, had just finished
an illustrated lecture on this subject
To close his address Mr.. Steinmetz
had flashed upon the screen picture
of Washington, which brought APP
plause from the audience that packed
the auditorium. He followed with
picture of Abraham Lincoln, who was
accorded a like reception, and then
the picture of Mr.. Roosevelt.
The applause for Washington and
Lincoln faded into insignificance COM
pared with that for Mr.. Roosevelt.
Every man was on his feet shouting,
clapping his hands and stamping his
feet Once during a lull Mr.. Stein
metz started to talk again. but the ap-
plause drowned his remarks 1t lasted
fully five minutes.
