WAS IN TIGHT BOX
James Feeney Faced Two Grim
inal Charges.
To Prove Murder Alibi He Had
To Come Here.

James Feeney either had to stand
trial on cireumstantial evidence for
the murder of college boy in Chi
cago or prove an aiibi By admitting he
was in Topeka at the time of the muir
der and come here to face a grand lar
ceny charge. He chose to face the
latter charge and today is locked be-
hind the bars in the Shawnee county
Jail awaiting his preliminary trial.
Feeney fitted the description of a
man who shot and killed a Chica go
boy several weeks ago." said Sheriff
Hugh Larimer today. THE lad was
killed when he resisted a highwayman
who attempted 20 hold him up in a
park there.
The police arrested Feeney. The
boy knew he was wanted here for run
ming away with money entrusted. to
him by s. L. Stack. manager of the
Santa, Fe ball club. To clear himself
of one charge he had to confess to an
other as ton the date of the murder
Feeney was in Topeka.
He tells a great story of the third
degree methods employed by the Chi
cago police. He claims they knocked
him thru a window and beat him un-
mercifully in attempting TO wiring a
confession from him. Finally he
proved his abb by saying he was in
Topeka at the time. That led to an
investigation which revealed he is the
boy wanted here on a grand larceny
charge"
Larimer returned Sunday from Chi
cago with Feeney.

WATER POWER WASTED
Kansas Using Much Oil Fuel, Geo
logical Survey Shows.

Kansas utilizes her mineral re-
sources largely for the production of
electric power by public utility power
plants. and during March of this year
stood fifth in the use OF petroleum and
deriva tives, eighth in the use of nat
ural gas and fourteenth in the use of
coal in toR United States. according
to the report OF the division of power
resources. United States geologicaL
survey, recently compiled for the
month of March. 1919.
The water powers of Kansas con-
tributed only 4 per cent Of the total
power production OF the state. Activ-
tiles among the power companies to
meet the demand for extensions to
their systems in order to serve town
and rural communities indicate that
more serious attention must be paid
to develop the unused water power Of
the stream to relieve the drain on the
increasing fuel consumption.

Airplane's Forced Landing Mixed H.
c. of L. in Topeka Last Evening.
Pancakes and apples never were
considered a daily diet but Lieut..
Thomas Weber, former Royal Flying
corps. hero, now Topeka commercial
airplane flyer. mixed them beautifully
on the Washburn flying field last
evening. Confronted with a dead en-
CINE in his big Curtiss biplane while
taking off fifty feet in the air about
8 o'clock, the lieutenant pancaked his
machine gracefully over an apple
orchard. Tipping the machine on its
side so that it would land in the top
Of the tree and slide to the earth on

exhibition that the crowds were not

shot into the air and the engine sput-
tered. In a few seconds it ceased fir
ing altogether. Weber was only
about fifty feet above the ground. The
Washburn field is so small that he
could pick no suitable place to land
and possibly injuring his passenger. So
he pancaked gracefully in the air.
picked out a massive apple tree that
looked soft and comfy, ahghted in the
top of the trees with ONE plane point
ing downward. This insured a safe
and sane fall as the plane slid from
the top of the tree on to the wing and

ground. Apples came peppering down
| like Hun bullets, but the woman and
Weber were not even Jared. Miss
HoefIer was unstrapped and left the
orchard laughing.
The wings of the machine were
damaged and the propeller broken. A
section of the landing apparatus was
broken. Orders have been rushed to
the Curtiss plant in Buffalo for parts

will have their ship sailing in about
ten days.

more he would have been able to land
without any damage whatever. II
he had been on a larger field or If
i the wind had been from another di-
rection. he would have had no trouble
to make safe landing with his dead
/ engine.
Weber has taken up several hun
dred passengers since he went into
commercial flying. Never has he
scratched or injured a passenger.
AN apple may have struck my pas
senger on the head as she was step
ping out of the ship last night but
that is all that could have happened
to her." he stated this morning.
The accident was unavoidable from
the standpoint OF inspection, 1t is
pointed out The motor ran beauti-
fully Sunday morning and early last
evening. 1t was just out of the factory
and was supposed to be in first class
condition.
My only regret is that the landing
may frighten some people who have
become airplane fans" Lieutena Mt

about ten days. There is nothing to
worry about"
