THRIVES UNDER LIO
Kansas City, Kansas, Not Hurt
by Closing Joints.
PROPERTY VALUES RISING
Story ot Bankruptcy Answered by
City Attorney With Convincing
Facts and figures Revenue
From Joints Small.
KANSAS CITi". Kans., Aug. 11.
(Special.) The people of this city are
much exercised over stories which
have been sent out to the newspapers
of the country concerning the alleged
bankruptcy of the city owing to the
strict enforcement of the prohibitory
law. City Attorney C. W. Trickett,
who was Instrumental In closing ths
saloons, has given out a lengthy In
tcrvicw in which he denies as a whole
and in each and every particular the
statoments as printed.
"Instead of Kansas City being dam
aged by the rigid enforcement of the
prohibitory law, as charged, the oppo
site is true,-' says Mr. Trickett. "Kan
sas City today furnishes the unusual
spectacle of a metropolitan city of
Sfl.000 people without a saloon, with
out a gambling den, without a brothel.
"There has been no reduction in the
number of employes in either the po
lice department, the fire department or
the street department, but an increase
in the latter, since the campaign of
law enforcement began. .
Real Estate Has Advanced.
"Instead of depreciating property
values, the prices on residence real es
tate have advanced since the closing
of the Joints and new people are com
ing here right along, many of them
because of the fact that the joints are
closed. I have talked with many bus
iness men and so far only have found
two who claimed to have been Injured
in business by the closing of the
joints. These two were an ice man
and a cigar man. The majority of the
people are satisfied with present con
ditions and many new people are com
ing to the city because of these condi
tions. City Is Strong Financially.
"The last annual fiscal statement of
this city for the year ending April 1, 1905,
shows the total receipts and disburse
ments for the 12 months to have been
S"32.803. There was cash on hand to the
extent of J22.0S5, and warrants and certifi
cates outstanding to a total of $55,261,
thus leaving a floating debt of JS3.165,
which is not a serious matter for 89,000
people to take care of. '
"The revenue from the joints, which the
correspondent seems to think are the
only financial salvation for the city, only
amounted last year to H8.197, and this in
cludes all 'fines' taken in by the Police
Court, not all of which came from the
Joints directly.
"Incidentally it may be mentioned 'hat
the new assessment made this year has
been so equalized and made to cover
property which has heretofore escaped
its burden of taxes that there will be
ample revenue for the city's needs.
Progress Under Prohibition.
"Twenty-five years ago, when the pro
hibitory law was passed, this city had a
population of 15,000 or less: today 89.000.
At that time it had no paved streets
now 60 miles of asphalt and brick pavmg.
Then it was unknown as a manufacturing
city today it is the fifth largest manu
facturing city In the United States, being,
next to Chicago, the largest center of
the fiacking industry in the world. Next
to Minneapolis, it is also the largest
llour-milMnjr city.
"All these facts don't appear to pertain
to a city knocked out of 'easy street' for
the lack of a few thousand dollars in
hush money from an illegal whisky and
fceer business."
EATON SMOOTHS IT DOWN
Wants to Meet Committee and Lay
Slorm He Raised.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 11. Seymour
Eaton, of this city, who a few days
ago resigned as secretary of the inter
national policy-holders' committee, has
written a letter to ex-Judge Alton B.
Parker, chairman of the policy-holders'
executive committee, requesting that
the committee be called together, so
that he can be given an opportunity
to give reasons for severing his con
nection with that body. Mr. Eaton's
letter says in part:
There is absolutely nothing of truth in the
unfavorable reflections made upon me per
sonally and upon my work. I have been
loyal to the committee and to the cause
which I engaged to serve. I did not intend
that my letter of resignation should case re
flection upon a committee which met but
once and whose members know practically
nothing of the actual progress and possible
outcome of this policy-holders' movement.
By my resignation I simply short-circuited
the conditions and It is due to the distin
guished and honorable men who constitute
this committee as well as to the policy
holders who are innocently lending support
to the cause that my request as set forth in
this letter be granted.
SEED XOT DEPOSIT FUNDS
House of liord9 Committee Reports
on Foreign Insurance Companies.
LONDON. Aug. 11. "In view of the evi
dence they have heard, the committee
does not consider that in the Interest of
British policy-holders It Is desirable to
compel foreign companies to deposit funds
in this country."
This is the finding of the select com
mittee of the Hoixse of Lords to inquire
into and report on what steps should be
taken by the deposit of funds, or other
wise to provide adequate security to the
British policy-holders In life insurance
companies, which have their chief of
fices outside of the United Kingdom, but
which carry on business in this country.
The committee found an almost unani
mous ODinion among the leading British
ac.uar-.es and life insurance managers
against compelling such measures on the
part of foreign companies.
The report says that foreign companies
should be placed as far as posible in the
same association as British companies.
They should be made to comply with the
requirements of the life Insurance act of
1ST0.
EATOX PLAYS WAITING GAME
IJcTus-es to Commit Himself Regard
ing Parker's Criticism.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 11. "I can af
ford to wait," said Secretary M. A. Eaton
last night, when asked to comment on
the criticism of ex-Judge Alton B. Par
ker, on the former's resignation as secre
tary of the international policy-holders'
committee. "If the general committee,
of which I was the secretary, desires to
officially receive any further reason from
me for my resJgniftlon, it will be given
at the proper time," he added, and In re
ply to nearly every question put to him
he merely reiterated, "1 can afford to
wait."
Mr. Eaton was at his home last night
and had seen the evening papers, which
printed ex-Judge Parker's letter and
Manager Scrugham's comment . on his
resignation.
"It is true," he admitted, "that Ueb
fried is not the treasurer of the commit
tee. He has been acting treasurer, how
ever, and has signed every check.
Thomas B. Wanamaker is chairman of
the finance committee. but I cannot
agree with Mr. Scrugham that he Is also
treasurer by virtue of that position.
As a matter of fact, no treasurer was
ever elected, although I did urge the se
lection of one and recommended Mr.
Liebfried.
"Whether I am a member of the gen
eral committee or not, I can only say
that I was one ol the movement's organ
izers and through my solicitations more
than half of the members of that com
mittee accepted their posts and I was
chosen secretary."
When asked why he had not attended
the meeting of the executive committee
yesterday, he said:
"I am not a member of that commit
tee. When it met last week I served as
secretary pro tern., but I received no In
vitation to attend yesterday's meeting."
FOOLS CHINESE PIRATES
CAPTAIX OF BRITISH STEAMER
PLATS POSSUM.
Chinese Plratra Seize Vessel, Kill Mis

Who Shams Death.
VICTORIA, B. C, Aug. 11. Details
of the attack on the British steamer
Sainan by Chinese pirates on the West
Kiver and the murder of Dr. Macdon
ald, a missionary, and some of the
crew, were received by the steamer
Monteagle, which arrived from the Ori
ent today. There were only three for
eigners on board. Captain Joslin, the
chief engineer and Dr. Macdonald, of
the Wesleyan mission at W'u Chow.
Tne three white men were chatting
on the promenade deck when 70 pas
sengers dropped their disguise and
started to snoot at the crew. Captain
Joslin was shot in the chest, as he ran
forward to aid the Indian and Chinese
sailors. Dr. Macdonald, who rt n to
offer aid. dragged the captain ba 'k to
the saloon, which was barricaded for
defense by the engineer. Two windows
remained open and the pirates fired
through these at the men inside. The
men hid under the dininjr table.
Dr. Macdonald was struck by a bullet
fired at close raage and Instantly
killed. Captain Joslin, realizing the im
possibility of reaching the bridge,
showed presence of mind by throwing
himself on the deck in the passenger
cabin, pretending to be dead. The pi
rates tore off his coat and trousers,
and a ring from his finger and left him
after giving him a number of kicks.
Blood flowed freely from his chest and
lie remained motionless, the pirates be
ing deceived into thinking him dead.
The chief engineer hid under the
boiler and after searching for an
hour for him the pirates turned their
attention to the Chinese passengers
and crew, robbing them of everything
they possessed. After looting the ves
sel they dropped her anchor and left
in five native boats. Captain Joslin lay
immovable for an hour after they had
gone before venturing to crawl from
the cabli. -
On arrival at Samshui, the piracy
was reported to H. M. S. Moorhen,
which started in pursuit and Captured
some of the pirates.

There are in Chicago 6362 Johnsons,
5507 Smiths, 4117 Andersons, 2769 Ol
sons, 2684 Browns and 1922 .Joneses,
according to the 1906 city directory,
the first copy of which wa bound to
day, having been long delayed by the
printers' Vtrike. ' '
The new book contains 710.000
names, which by using the 1900 census
as a ratio, gives the city a population
of '2,300,500. There are 3051 pages
bound inside the cover, 108 more than
last year. There are but 6690 names
connected .with saloons, showing a
falling off in that line of business
since the J1000 license went Into effect.
SAVE HIS LIFE BY WALKING
Detectives Apply Remedy for Man
AVho Takes Opium.
R, F. Thompson, of 626 Guild street, at
tempted suicide at 11 o'clock last night
by taking a large quantity of opium. Run
ning Into the parlor where his family
was sitting, Thompson exclaimed that
he had swallowed poison. The police
were called and Detectives ,Kay and
Burke went to the house. By walking
Thompson until his and the detectives'
legs were tired, the man's life was saved.
Dr. Boss told the detectives that the
only antidote for opium poisoning
was rapid walking. The detectives car
ried out instructions, much against their
taste.
After recovering partly, Thompson was
taken to Good Samaritan Hospital.
FIRE UP SANTIAM CANYON
(Continued From Page 1.)
cade Mountains since early pioneer days,
when the great "burns" were made, will
result,
Largest Holding Still Safe.
At the present time the fire is the worst
the North Santiam country has seen in
years. The largest timber holdings have
not yet been damaged greatly, the fire
being confined to the canyon, which, be
ing nearest the railroad, was logged off
first. But much valuable timber has been
destroyed, and a few miles farther up the
river is the beginning of a timbered area
of great value.
The Santiam River and its tributaries
above Berry have always been popular
resorts for fishermen and campers gen
erally. Many camping parties are in these
mountains now, but whether any of them
are within reach of the forest fires is un
known. Should the flames be carried beyond the
canyon up on the timbered mountains, or
up any of the smaller canyons through
which the numerous tributary streams
flow, a terrible fate would be, in store for
campers. If. however, the fire Is confined
to the Santiam canyon, a safe retreat be
yond the bordering mountain ridges is
doubtless open to all residents of the can
yon. Tonight a heavy bank of smoke is slow
ly overcasting the heavens in the east,
plainly visible from Albany. This dark
pall is steadily rising and descending into
the Valley, marking the beginning of a
terrible smoky period, recalling tb un
pleasant season of three years ago.
The oriein of this year's fire is unknown.
OP
Warrants Out for Looters of
Chicago Bank.
HERING AGAIN ARRESTED
Charges of Forgery, Larceny, Per
jury and Embezzlement Against
Him and Directors Outrage
Body of Kovtalskl.
CHICAGO, Aug. 11. (Special.)
Henry W. Hering, cashier of the
wrecked Milwaukee-Avenue State
Bank, was arrested again this after
noon on eight bench warrants as he
left Assistant Chief Schuettler's office
and taken to the Criminal Court. Fail
ing to furnish bonds of J68.000, Her
ing was taken to the County Jail. In a
dramatic scene in Judge Kersten's
court he declared himself innocent,
while his wife and eldest daughter sat
weeping on a bench. The warrants
had been issued at the instance of
State's Attorney Healy and embrace
charges of forgery, conspiracy, larceny,
perjury and embezzlement.
Hering was held in the office of As
sistant Chief ot Police for some time
undergoing examination. As he stepped
out of a door after the ordeal, he was
met by the representative of the Sher
iff, who placed him under arrest. Her
ing was not visibly disturbed by the
new turn of affairs. He smiled and re
marked: "All right: I'll go with you."
He was taken before Judge Kersten
and heard the warrants read.
Warrants Make Many Charges.
Bench warrants were also Issued for
Paul O. Stensland, the fugitive bank
president, his son Theodore and others
who are supposed to be Implicated in
the forgeries, conspiracy, larceny, etc.,
but these latter names are withheld
from the public for the present. It
was intimated that every official and
mariyj employes of the bank would be
drawn into the net.
The first two warrants charge con
spiracy to cheat and defraud the Milwaukee-Avenue
State Bank of its
money, property and goods. Paul O.
Stensland, Henry W. Hering, Theodore
Stensland and "divers other persons
as yet unknown," are named in these
two warrants. The next are against
Henry W. Hering, and charge perjury
in regard to a report made and sworn
to by him to the State Auditor in Jan
uary and April, 1906, on the condition
of the bank. The next two charge lar
ceny of $1030 and $350 and name Henry
W. Hering. Five cases of forgery are
then charged against Paul O. Stensland
and Henry W. Hering. It is alleged that
they forged the name of M. C. Bart
holdt to two notes for $2500 each, the
name of M. A. LaBuy to one note for
$500, the name of Marcus Kirkeby to
one note for $10,000 and the name of
S. Herhold to a note for $10,000. A
special grand Jury is probable..
The directors of the bank were today
examined vigorously as was Hering
yesterday.
Move to Extradite Stensland.
In the meantime a conference with the
Federal authorities was sought by the
State's Attorney, and it was admitted
that arrangements for extradition of
Stensland were the object. This gave rise
to the rumor that the State's Attorney
had been informed of the whereabouts
of Stensland. Assistant State's Attorney
Olsen declined to confirm or deny this,
but declared that he would be captured.
More than 500 Polish residents of the
North Side, all of whom were depositors
in the bank, met at 3 P. M. today to
organize the Polish Depositors' Protective
Association of Chicago. More than half
of those present were women, and many
were weeping. The meeting was called
by the Rev. Francis Gordon, pastor of
St. Islanus Church. The Polish National
Alliance was represented by its presi
dent, Marion Stenezinski. Leo Szotin
ski, of the Roman Catholic Union, which
has a membership of 50,000, represented
that order.
Mob Raves Against Kovralski.
Crowds of hooting, yelling men, women
and children today surrounded the house
at 320 North Carpenter street, wherein
lay the body of Frank K. Kowalski,
teller of the defunct bank, who shot him
self last evening as a result of the talk
of neighbors, involving his name in the
network of fraud and crime in which the
bank is wrapped. Maledictions in several
languages were uttered against the dead.
Women stormed the door and children
tore away the modest wreath of flowers
and the black crepe, trampling these sa
cred signs of death under foot. Men
gained admittance to the house under the
guise of friendship and then, in the face
of weeping women sisters and cousins
wrecked the casket, hurled monstrous ac
cusations at jhe pale dead body, shaking
their fists and storming like bedlamites.
The police were finally summoned to keep
sanctuary for the body.
STENSLAND GOING TO MEXICO

cago Broker.
FORT WORTH, Tex., Aug. 11. Paul
Stensland, the banker of Chicago, was
in this -city, according to Henry Adams,
a former Chicago commission broker,
and is said to be on his way to Mexico.
Adams said he traveled all the way
from New Orleans to this city with
the absconding banker without know
ing hJs bank had failed. Not until he

tains for his health. When asked how
his bank was progressing, he declared
it to be in a most prosperous condition.

of Stensland, the Chicago bank fugitive,
sailed from here today on a Mallory
steamer for New York. He gave the

was accompanied by a woman claiming
to be his wife. The reservation for this
steamer was wired from New Orleans
two days ago. The boat company be
lieves that the pair took passage to New

Key West. The man denied himself to
all and kept aloof from his fellow-passengers
until after the boat sailed.

dicts that Hearst will receive the regular
Democratic nomination for Governor.
Murphy owns stock In the Morning Tele

an article in that paper this (Saturday)

"The Independence League has at last
set date for holding Its convention. It
has fixed upon September 11 and the
place as Carnegie Hall. Sixteen hundred
delegates are expected to be present. It
Is now fairly well conceded that Hearst
will receive the Democratic nomination,

ACCUSED OF KILLING BABE
Former Portland Woman Arrested
in St. Louis for Murder.
ST. LOUIS. Mo., Aug. 11. (Special.)
Harry C. Atkins and wife, former Port
landers, were arrested today in connec
tion with the suspected murder of Hazol
Atkins, their 13-months-old daughter who
yesterday was found drowned in the
Mississippi River near the tent in which
they had been occupying for the Summer.
"I didn't droen my baby," tonight in
dignantly declared Mrs. Atkins, who prior
to her marriage in Portland about 12
years ago was Miss Mary E. Slater of
Portland. "If I wanted to get rid of
Hazel I could have given her to one of
several wealthy families, who at different
times have offered to adopt her."
Two, young men who slept in the Atkins
(ent, Otto Schiller and Alvln Zisick. have
also been arrested. The tent stands on a
25-foot embankment. The supposition at
first was that the child crawled from bed
and rolled down the embankment into
the river, but the report of Police De
tective Dooley says the child could not
have done so.
Atkins did active service in the Philip
pines as a member of Troop D, Fifteenth
Cavalry. He received an honorable dis
charge after being shot in the wrist in
Mindinao. Returning to the States, he
started a vaudeville show and followed
street carnivals, but failed. Then he got
a peddler's license, issued free to ex
soldiers, and peddled candy made by his
wife, who had been employed as a candy
maker. STRIKE DECLARED ILLEGAL

PANAMA
DAN GER
Colombian Army Officers De
tected in Plot.
WANT GOVERNMENT BACK
Incriminating Documents Found In
Possession When Arrested After
Their Call on Presi
dent Amador.
PANAMA, Aug. 11. (Special.) An al
leged plot on the part of prominent Col
ombian leaders to overthrow President
Amador's government and proclaim Col
ombia's sovereignty over Panama, again
has been frustrated through the activity
of the police and government authorities.
Compromising documents said to give in
dubitable evidence of the plot are reported
to have been seized on two of the Colom
bian conspirators. Two Colombian Gen
erals said to be implicated In the con
spiracy were seized by the police. Pres
ident Amador has decided that all the
obnoxious Colombians said to be impli
cated in the plot shall be expelled from
Panama.
Generals Ruiz, Sandoval and Castillo
and Colonels Diaz, Galindo and Mosquera
and nine other Colombian officials are
reported to be the ringleaders of the al
leged plot. They had numerous confeder
ates. Their plan was to accomplish a
coup d'etat by which President Amador
would be overthrown, and then proclaim
Colombia's sovereignty over the country
that was once a part of that nation.
An Interview that the two Generals
sought at President Amador's palace
aroused the suspicion of the police. Both
Generals were seized and compromising
documents are said to have been found in
their possession. It . was reported that
one of the Generals was killed In resist
ing arrest, but this is denied.-
President Amador took the discovery of
the plot calmly. After the arrest of the
Generals he .attended a musical enter
tainment given in celebration of the na
tional holiday of Ecuador.
MRS. THAW'S UNDERSTUDY
Miss Forsyth Personates Harry's
Wife and Fools Reporters.
,
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Aug. 11. (Spe
cial.) Hattie Forsythe, the actress
who was mentioned In a Paris cable
gram as having been probably indi
rectly responsible for the murder of
Stanford White, has reached here
from Narragansett pier. She denies
ever having visited the White studio
and of leaving word with an attendant
to tell the architect that Mrs. Harry
K. Thaw had called. Miss Forsythe
does not deny, however, knowing Har
ry Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit, and how
she served them a good turn two years
ago by impersonating Mrs. Thaw and
enabling the Pittsburg man and his
fiancee to escape from the Cumberland
Hotel unobserved.
"When I lived in the Hotel Cumber
land," said Miss Forsythe, "it happened
that Harry Thaw and Evelyn came
there and put up for a few days. You
remember what a lot of excitement
there was over whether Thaw and
Evelyn Nesbit were married. The mat
ter seemed to have everyone's atten
tion and reporters were thronging the
hotel day and night. Finally Thaw
appealed to me and I did a little stunt
for him which I was only too willing
and happy to do. It was the day that
he and Miss Nesbit were ordered out
of the Cumberland that Harry came to
me and asked me to fool the crowd
that was waiting in the street to see
them' depart. He suggested that I im
personate Evelyn and go out to his
carriage, which was waiting, so that
they could go to the Waldorf-Astoria
unobserved.
"Since that time It is two years ago
I have not seen Harry or Evelyn to
speak of. I was not in New York when
Harry shot Mr. White. I knew Mr.
White only slightly. ' I know of noth
ing which might haveV led to the trag
edy. No, I am sure ! never heard
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Tnention Mr.
White's name or did I ever hear him
mention hers. This Paris gossip about
my going to Mr. White's studio and
leaving word that Mrs;: Thaw had
called, which led White to write to
Evelyn and send her flowers. Is silly."

Samuel D.Rhoaps
Air. Rhoads holds an important Government position in Washington, from
which place he writes a very interesting letter concerning Pe-ru-na.
What Pe-ru-na Has Done for One Family Pe-ru-na
. Can Do for Another Family.
Mr. Samuel D. Rhoads, a prominent In
surance man of Lansdowne, Pa., writes
from Washington, D. C, as follows:
"I heartily and unreservedly wish to
give my indorsement to Peruna as a
catarrh cure that is not approached by
any other medicine, at least in my ob
servation and experience, and noting what
it has done for members of my family.
Its crowning virtue, after it has cured
the catarrh, is as a tonic and restorative
of appetite, strength and good spirits."
Pe-ru-na Restores Strength.
Mr. G. W. Woodbury. Rogers. O.. for
merly captain and center of the Hiram
College basket-ball team, writes:
"There are times in the lire of every
student when excessive study and too
close confinement and attention to the
object in view will tell on his health.
"I have found that when body and mind
alike were weary and refused to work, a
few doses of Peruna restored lost strength

grounds that the strike was provoked by

KILLING SPIES IN POLAND
Reds Trail Them to Headquarters
and Then Massacre Them.
WARSAW, Aug. 11. (Special. ) The
state of affairs' In Poland has reached a
most extraordinary stage. The conflicts
between the government's secret men and
the revolutionaries now includes a phase
in which the life of a police spy is sought
with a deadly. purpose by the extremists,
which has resulted in the killing of ten
police agents and the wounding of 26.
The army spies are now devoting their
attention to surprising small meetings of
revolutionists and arresting those pres
ent. On the other hand, the revolution
aries having Identified a spy, shadow him
to the- headquarters. When the headquar
ters are discovered, they are raided and
all the spies are slaughtered or captured.
Several of those raids have been success
fully carried out recently. Only the small
gatherings of revolutionaries are molested
by the police. The large meetings are held
with impunity. The revolutionaries at
these meetings are in part armed and the
protection thus afforded makes them safe
from police visitation, the police having
an insufficient force to engage in battle.
Where formerly the police constantly
stopped passersby on the street and
demanded their paysports, the revolution
aries now stop people and pick out the
spies. When one Is found the revolution
aries immediately provoke a quarrel with
him, in which he is usually killed.
The regular police have been so terror
ized that the authorities are now giving
each policeman 12 soldiers as a guard.

considered merely as an announcement
of his active candidacy for the place In

the political situation will be complicated
by his entry.

Keeps Pe-ru-na in the House.
Mr. Chas. S. Many, 12 Water street,
Ossining, N. Y., writers:
"I had catarrh for ten years and tried
a great many kinds of medicines which
cost if" c lot of money, but did me no
good. Instead of getting better, I seemed
to get worse. I read about Peruna and
thought I would give it a trial. I took
about ten bottles, and am cured of the
catarrh.
"I keep Peruna in the house, and when
I feel a cold coming on, I take a little bit
of it and it does me good."
