GOT AWAY WITH HER MONEY
Governor of New York Asked to Re-
turn j. Z. Stoddard to Kansas.

Governor OF New York Asked to Re
turn j. E. Stoddard to kansas.
There is a whole volume of heart
throbs in the short application for a
requisition on Governor Smith of New
York asking the return to Kansas of
j. E. Stoddard. The application re-
cites that Stoddard walked away with
one woman's money and another
mans wife.
Stoddard, according to the com
plant, was living at the home of Mrs
L. j. Martin in Kansas City. Kan. One
day the woman sold her home. She
gave Stoddard $3.50 to take to the
bank to deposit to her credit Stod-
dard was from all appearances a very
likely fellow and seemed perfectly
trustworthy. So the money which
Mrs. Martin received as payment on
her property was placed in Stoddard's
hands without question.
Then Stoddard started to the bank
On his way, SO the application states,
he stopped at the home of another
man and visited with the mans wife
When Stoddard left the mans wife
was with him. They didn't go to the
bank Instead they went to the rail-
road station, where they bought tick
cts for Erie n. Y
Now Mrs. Martin is short $3.50 in
cash. A neighbor is short one wife
Governor Allen has asked Governor
Smith to return Stoddard to Kansas
that Wyandotte county jury may de-
eide the extent to which he has frac-
tured the state laws and upset the
happiness of a community

INCREASE IN EXPRESS
Local Company Reports Business Is
| Good.


Local Company Reports Business Is
Good.
The trend of buying in Topeka, and
presumably in other cities as well. is
reflected in a reverse reaction in the
express business, according to e. E.
Braymer. local manager of the Ameri-
can Railway Express company in To-
peka-
The condition of the express bust
ness now indicates that the buying
public is proceeding in a. very cautious
and conservative manner, and If re-
framing from buying on the scale
which has been adhered to for the
past two or three years.
Instead of this fact causing a de-
crease in express business. as might be
expected, it results in an increase.
This is true, Braymer says. because
the merchants who find that the pub
lie is hesitant about buying, are not
going to lay in heavy stocks of goods.
Instead of buying in quantities and
shipping by freight, the merchant who
is not sure of his market is buying in
small quantities himself and having
the shipments made by express just
large enough to cover his actual needs
without necessitating the investment
of capital in goods which may drop or
which the public is leaving alone,
waiting for a drop in prices.
Express business Is good at the pres
ent time and a large part of it is
made up of the type of shipments just
described-small consisnments of
goods which will just keep the mer-
chants going until they see what the
public is going to do.
