Links in the chain of testimony
against Charles Savage, alias Charles

Evidence brought out this after
noon by Fred Robertson, United States

bery occurred the night of August "a,
this year. Seven sacks of registered

termlned, the government officials
stated-were taken from the train. 1t

lively identified Savage as the man
who assisted him in the robbery. He
said he could not state positively

taken from the same train. On the
testimony introduced this afternoon

DIDN'T CUT H. C. |.
Hughes Declares Democrat
Promise Failed Utterly.
Criticises Haphazard Business
Methods of Administration.

Newark, n. J., Oct. 2S.-'sWe shall
have no peace nor security until we
maintain our self respect" Nominee
Hughes told an audience of 900. pack
ed in the opera house here today. His
hearers, mostly farmers, had come
miles from the surrounding country
and had waited an hour or more in
the theater.
The Republican candidate reiterated
his previous views on Americanism
the tariff and Democratic prosperity
arguments.
His voice was very frayed.
"oSmetimes,'' he said, the American
community and particularly those who
are interested in agriculture will
awake to the necessity of a business
like administration so that in ex-
pending activities of government we
shall not be overwhelmed by the bur
den of taxation. There is no pros
perity for the United States if we go
about our great international business
in haphaZard fashion"
The Democrats, Hughes declared,
have betrayed the principle of the
merit system and their performances
have not matched up with their
promises They promised to reduce
the cost of living, but on the contrary
inaugurated a policy greatly reducing
the chances of making a living.

READ NOW IN JAIL
Man Who Would Force Son to
Marry Held by County.
Now 16-Year-OId Boy Is Rest

Iiams of Oakland and accept the holy
bonds of matrimony with unfortunate
Mary Adams playing opposite, is in
the county jail. He was arrested Fri
day night by George Frost, marshal
of the court of Topeka.
1t took two trials to get Read. The
first time Frost went to the Inter-
Ocean mills after him Read excused
himself to go back into the building
and kept on going. Frost made a
second trip and dropped in when
Read wasn't looking. Read was ar
raigned in the court of Topeka today
on the charge of assault and battery
and pleaded not guilty. He was un-
able to give bond and was placed in
the county Jail.
Joseph Adams, father of Mary Ad-
ans, who participated in the atetmpt
to force the marriage, was arrested
Friday but he gave bond and was re-
leased Charles P. Rude went upon
his bond as security. The hearing of
both Read and Adams is set for Oc-
tober in the court of Topeka
With Read in Jail and Adams out
on bond, Eugene Read, the boy, is
resting easy. He does not fear any
further attempts to force him into un-
welcome matrimony before the hear
ing. He has sworn that he is not re-
Sponsible for Mary Adams's condition
and that he will not marry her under
any circumstances. His charge that
his own father is responsible for
Mary's condition and that he is trying
to escape the consequences by sad

1t will be investigated the first of the
week

'An reports that there is gas or

word received today from the office of
the Tri-County Oil & Gas company

and won't be in working order for
several more days. according to word
issued by the officials of the company.
Mrs. Flickinger over the long dis

Chairman Lardner Ridicules
Chairman Sessions.
"Republicans Trying to Bolster
Up a Losing Cause"
KANSAS VOTERS FOR WILSON
"What Fine Gambler Sessions
Is" Says Lardner.
WOmen's Meeting Indicates
Hughes Is Slipping Fast.

Hubert Lardner, chairman of the
Democratic state committee. in an in
terview today ridiculed the statement
made yesterday by Charles H. Ses-
sions. Republican state chairman, that
Kansas would give an unprecedented
majority for Arthur Capper for gov
ernor, and but little less majority for
Hughes.
Lardner declared the Republicans
are trying to bolster up a losing
cause" and that the people of Kan
stand behind President Wilson. and
will give him a rousing majority on
November II
Seven of the eight congressman
elected this fall will be in full sympa-
thy and accord with the aims and
ideals of President Wilson, Lardner
said.
What about the twenty counties for
Wilson that Sessions wants the Demo-
cratic leaders to manner" Lardner was
asked
Fine Gambler Is He
What a fine gambler Sessions is"
Lardner laughed. HE wants to bet
500 real money that the Democrats
can not name twenty counties in the
state that President Wilson will carry.
OF course the joker is that if a single
county out of the twenty should hap
pen To go IOF hughes, sessions WOQlu
pocket the money and chortIe with
glee.''
Another erroneous conclusion of
Sessions. according to the Democratic
chairman. is the statement that Presi-
dent Wilson must carry approximately
fifty counties in Kansas to carry the
state. while the president undoubt-
eddy will carry more than fifty coun-
ties. yet he can win in the state with
out doing So Lardner declared. 'Al1
the large counties of the state with the
possible exception of Shawnee, will
return decisive Wilson majorities
Wyandotte will gives from 5000 to
1000 for Wilson, Crawford will give at
least 1000. while Montgomery Bour-
bon. Sedgwick, Cherokee, Labette, and
in fact. all the large counties in the
state will return Wilson majorities.'
Hughes Slipping.
Lardner could not refrain from say
ing a word about the Hughes alliance
special in Topeka yesterday. "The
Hughes alliance special yesterday
demonstrated that Hughes is on the
decline and is slipping fact" he de-
clared. There were a fine lot of edu-
Gated and clever women on the special
train who worked hard to create SONS
enthusiasm. and if anyone could have
done 1t, they were the ones" The
Democratic chairman characterized
the alliances as ga ladies' aid society
to the election of President Wilson"

He'll Garry Kansas by That Ma
j0rity-Fred Robertson.
Answer to Sessions, @Political
Editor of Daily Capital"
FACTS FROM G. 0. P. WORKERS
Q. s. Attorney Says He Has
Real Inside Information.
Speaks of Days When Sessions
Was "GoOd Democrat"

Republican state leaders are today
conscious of having run into barbed
wire entanglements as the result of
an attempt to kid Fred Robertson,
United States district attorney and
prominent Kansas Democrat, at the
expense of the latter's party.
A few weeks ago Robertson fore
cast, in the State Journal, that Wilson
would carry the state by a majority
of $4,000. This week Charles Sessions
state chairman of the Republican
committee, gave out an interview
wherein he accused Robertson of MAX
ing the forecast and then betting that
Hughes would not carry Kansas by
more than forty thousand" with en-
phasis on the not more. Sessions in
simulated that by making the bet, Rob-
ertson acknowledged there was dan
ger of Hughes's getting a majority
here.
Robertson read the interview, grim
ned and today he penned a statement
wherein he described my friend Ses-
sions. who is private secretary to Gov
ernor Capper, chairman of the G. O.
P. state committee also as political
editor of the Topeka Daily Capital. .
Governor Capperss Topeka newspaper.
Robertson claims in his statement
that he has obtained figures from sew
eral hundred persons in the state. and
asserts that in many cases these are
the same figures sent confidentially
to Mr. Sessions by his own workers
figures which are reliably made by
good Republicans but which of
course. Mr.. Sessions has no use for
because they spell Democrat victory
IN Kansas November T.
These figures" says Robertson.
show Kansas will go for Wilson by
34,6SO."
Robertson's Statement.
The statement follows:
1T is indeed interesting to note
the death struggle political exaggera-
tons of my friend Sessions, who is pri-
vate secretary to Governor Capper.
chairman of the G. o. P. state com
mittee and also political editor of the
Topeka Daily Capital.
Il have obtained figures from sew
eral hundred people in the state, in
| many cases these are the same figures
sent confidential1y to Mr.. Sessions by
his own workersHfigures which are
reliably made by good Republicans but
which, of course, Mr.. Sessions has nc
use for because they spell Democratic
victory in Kansas November 7. These
| figures I have, show Kansas will ga
| for Wilson by 1880
When my friend Sessions was a
| good Democrat. prior to his becoming
secretary of state as a Republican, he
| did not make such wild assertions as
| he has lately INDUCED in If becoming
| Republican has the same effect or
| all who thus change, it is not to be
| wondered at that We see so many ludi-
| crous statements about prospective
| Republican majoritieS."
