Miller, the Handcuff King, Is
in Topeka.
Police Try Their Skill in Secur
ing Him.
HE EASILY ESCAPES.
I nloeks the Most Intricate
Wrist Irons.
Wi.I Et? One of Features of Sul
livan ShOW.
Jails with their bars and Ioek3 and
bails and chains, handCWTs of ail sorts
and ether accessories of the officers of
tha law to keep persons in custody have
no terrors for one man who is in Topeka
for a few days. His name is Miller and
he is known from one end of the land
to the other as the "great handcuff:
king." He is to be one of the attrac
tloru at the John L. Sullivan vaude
ville show at the Auditorium this week.
2IiUer, the ITanrtcufr King, in One of
His Acts.
Miller arrived in town yesterday af
ternoon, lie ;s an unassuming chap of
medium height and build and to look
at him one would think tnat it would be
the easiest kind of a job to keep him
behind the bai"s or handcuffed. But
looks are ever deceiving. Miller was
prevailed upon to go down to the city
prison yesterday afternoon and show the
Topeka sleuths how easy It is for one,
who knows how, to free himself from
shackles. And he certainly opened the
eyes of the policemen who were around
the station.
After being introduced to Chief Good
win and some of tha other officers
around Miller said that he would guar
antee to free himself from any hand
43urTa that might be placed on his wrists.
His invitation was accepted and then
began a search tor handcuffs. There
was not a single set In the station. De
tective Joe Ross came to the rescue by
running around to his house and get
ting & pair that happened to be there.
These proved to be the old Bean style
of cuffs, which have the reputation of
being as good "nippers" as have been
made. The cuffs, connected with a
strong chain, were "put on Miller's
wrists and he retired rto another mom.
In a couple of minutes he returned in
his shirt sleeves with the cuffs still on
his wrists but his coat in his hands.
"I surely could not get these cuffs
off until after I had removed my coat,"
he said.
And there were all sorts of expres
sions of consternation and surprise
from the policemen around. Sergeant
Voiles grabbed Miller's coat and began
examining the seams in the sleeves
with the evident idea that it was sort
of a trick coat which might be slipped
off in any old way. It proved to be
an ordinary coat and Miller must have
removed the handcuffs to have taken
it off and then slipped them on again.
He left the room again for a couple of
minutes and when he ' returned the
handcuffs were, unlocked and in his
hands. All of the policemen were
anxious to know how the cuffs had
been unlocked and removed, but Mil
ler had nothing to say on this sub
ject. Another pair of handcuffs were se
cured from the county jail. There
were of the Tower variety and were
joined together with a short' link.
With these on Miller did not have any
play with his hands aa he did with the
first pair joined by the chain. Miller
reiired again and returned in four or
five minutes with his hands free and
the cuffs unlocked. There were no
oiher cuffs about to try Miller's skill.
He offered to be locked up In a cell,
and said that he would easily release
himself, but the policemen took his
word for it and said that all of the
locks on the cells were simple ones and
it would be merely child's play for
Miller to open them.
Miller has been giving exhibitions of
his skill on the vaudeville stages for the
lat four years and during this time he
has been across the continent 14 times
but has never visited Topeka before.
His first bid for notoriety as a man im
pervious to locks and bars was his es
cape from the Kings County jail in
Brooklyn, N. Y. He got the permission
of the warden of the jail to be locked
up as a prisoner merely for the purpo:
of seeing if he could break out This
Kins County jail is one of the model
institutions of Us kind in the country
and po safe a place of incarceration it is
considered to be that many of the fam
ous criminals convicted of crimes
against the United States government
are confined there. Miller was locked
up in a cell on the fifth tier and nine
celis removed from the lever that locked
all of the celis on that tier. It took him
nine days to get out of the cell and over
the 20 foot wall surrounding the jail.
He says that he could have broken out
e-5ner if he had cared to take a chance
in the night time. Re was afraid to do
this as he was garbed as an ordinary
prisoner and would have run tha
chances of being shot had h made his
break for liberty at nieht.
Miller says that never, since he has
been before the public, has he failed to
release himself from any handcuffs that
have been placed on him. On onu occa
sion, however, it took him 27 minutes to
free has bands from a pair ef them.
This happened in Philadelphia.
In addition to openiing any and all
handcuffs that 'may be locked on bis
wrists by any one in the audience at the
performance he gives. Miller does a stunt
in what he calls his "mysterious box."
This is an ordinary wooden box in which
Miller ' stands upright. He permits his
head. arms, hands and feet to be fast
ener! to the back of the box by a com
mittee from the1 audience. The front ot
the box is then closed up and locked
with three padlocks and within half a
minute after the box is locked up Mil?'
hits released himself from it.
The remarkable feature of bis freeing
himself from the handcuffs la that he
does riot slip them oSc his hands, but ac
tually unlocks them.

Boston Is in Doubt About Ilia Being
Beaten by the System.
Boston, Dec. 16. Whether Thomas
W. Lawson, who announces that he is
risking his last cent in the fight on
.Standard Oil is approaching the
breakers of financial disaster or is
craftily forcing his opponents to
gorge themselves with thousands of
shares of copper stock at a fictitious
price is a question which is puzzling
State street.
That there has been tremendous
selling of Amalgamated cannot be de
nied, and that the buying has been
even a little more determined is evi
dent by the increases in the price of
the shares. Lawson and hia crowd
are thought to be short about 170,000
shares, but on the other hand many
of hia followers who aetually owned
stock have been letting go of it since
the advance began, and it is on this
fact that Lawson's supporters; ba.se
their hopes.
Every point that the Standard Oil
crowd puts up the price, they argue,
brings out more holdings. These the
Standard Oil men must buy outright
The question is whether or not this
flood of actual stock, together with
actual shares in scores of other cor
porations, which must be maintained
at a high level at any cost, will not
force the Standard people to draw out
before the price is put high enough to
wipe out Lawson's little fortune of
$15,000,000 which he says he is stak
ing on the game.
As an instance of the actual, move
ment of stocks into the hands ot the
Standard Oil crowd it is cited here
a Boston banking firm, which six
months ago was carry ine many thou
sands of shares of Amalgamated stock,
bought at a low level for itself and ita
patrons, now has fewer than 2.000 shares
In ita vaults. The remainder have been
sold at a high price to the men who
are supporting the market in New
York.
Close observers point out that while
Lawson advertises hia loss on Amalga
mated at $3,400,000, he makes no meiiT
tion of profits he may have made on
scalping operations. It will have to- go
to $170, however, before the Lawson for
tune is wiped out if he only maintains
his present short interest. a, nil at anything-
like that price every share out
side of the Standard Oil holdings would
be thrown on the market.
NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH
One of the Finest in Kansas Ready for
Dedication at Iola.
Iola, Kan., Dec. 16. Not a Catholic
church in this part of Kansas can pre
sent a more handsome interior and fin
ishings than that whic- the congrega
tion which attends the dedication f St.
John's Catholic church unday morning
will see. The church will easily seat 535
people. There are four entrance doors.
The ceiling is panelled and dark finish
ed. The. se.atings are modern and com
fortable. The stained "lass windows,
all of which are gifts or memorials, are
emblematic, emphasizing some teaching
of Christ.
The altar, 23 feet high and 11 feet
wide at the table, Roman style, and
decorated in white and gold, is indeed
a handsome one. The crucifix group,
Christ on the cross, the Virgin Mary
weeping at his feet and the other Mary
and Magdalene at either side, is beau
tifully done in cream and gold. At the
base of the table is the picture of the
last supper in bas relief. An electric
light will be suspended above it to ac
centuate the figures.
The altar furnishings are all hand
some ones. The candlesticks are of
massive brass while the candelabrum
used during benediction is of simple but
beautiful design. The ostensorium, for
the administration of the blessed sacra
ment. Is of rolled gold and richly
mounted.
On either side of the principal altar Is
a smaller one, also in gold and white.
One is the figure the Virein Mary and
the other that of St. Joseph. Above
the sanctuary are two figured windows,
one of St. Patrick and the other St,
James. In front of the main altar
hangs the sanctuary lamp which will
be kept burning always. The altar car
pet is velvet and white and gold altar
rail completes the finishings of the sanc
tuary. Around the wall are mounted the 14
altar stations in gold and stone finish.
Each one bears the picture of some
scene fi'om the passion and death of
Christ. Just inside the door is the con
fessional booth.
HELD FOR MURDER.
Chloroformed a Woman and Then
Smothered Her to Death.
Asbury Park, N. J., Dec 16. Frank
Perdoni. the Italian fruit vender, wag
rnmniiiioii to iail this afternoon by di
reotion of the prosecutor, charged with
the murder of Mrs. Morris Naftel, who
as the committment states, lie ursi cmur
oformed and then smothered to death.
Howard Morris, son of William H. Mor
ris, a well known Asbury Park billposter
and theatrical manager, was also com
mitted as an accessory before the fact.
Morris is charged with a guilty knowl
edge nf the riot to rob Mrs. Naftel.
which he failed to disclose to tV po
lice.
It was stated by one ef the detectives
that Perdoni, after an all day's experi
ence with the third degree, had broken
down and made a. partial coniession.
Morris, who la arrested as an acces
sory, turned informer against Perdoni
who. he said, had tried to induce him to
join in a plot to rob Mrs. Naftel of her
jewels and money. The two are known
to have gone to New York together the
morning after the crime was committed.
It is believed the visit was planned to
dispose of the booty. The detectives say
the evidence against Perdoni is strong
enough to secure his conviction.
New Schedule of Wages.
Lawrence, Mass., Dec. 16. The
Arlington mills posted notice of a new
schedule of wages today to take ef
fect January 1. They will pay as high
wages as any competitors in New
England. The mill employs 6,100
operatives.
HOW THEY IIUSTL
Topeka Merchants Never So
Easj as This Year.
Christmas Trade Starts Earlier
Than Before.
IT IS TOO SHALL.
Jones Dry Goods Company Need
More Eoom,
Eanj
New Things in Santa
Clan Supplies,
Old General Prosperity fully epaulet
ted is in town with his staff for Christ
mas. He has registered hia name In
big flourishing letters in the ledger of
the merchants along Kansa3 avenue,
and other streets. He has been in town
some time and though he has been gen
erally known to be about he. has not
forced himself so upon the public ait
tention aa within the last ten days. The
Christmas trade this year is something
immense. This is the verdict which
the merchants alony Kansas avenue
rendered aa the result of a series of in
terviews, snatched between noments
of relaxation from the onrush of buy
ers. The general facts of the trade are
these; that never before hast the holiday
shopping commenced so early, that the
purchasing is of goods of superior Qual
ity, anJ that percentage of increase is
in excess of anything for years, past.
Said the manager of The Jones Dry
Goods Co.: "This store has never ex
perienced such an Immense business.
We have found the building we occupy
entirely too small to handle the great
crowds. Another difficulty we had was
the help. We planned on a big scale
and had many extra sales people, yet
the business was so enormous, so much
larger than ou, plans called for, at
times we have not been able to give
good service. This will be remedied
this week as a large squad of extra
salespeople will be added. The week,
ending Saturday night was the largest
in the history of this business. We find
that Topeka- people are pleasant to deal
with and treat the people behind the
eounter with consideration, which is
not the case in many cities. The store
will keep open every evening thi3 week,
and with extra people, we hope to be
able to wait on every customer to their-
satisfaction. If all the stores have had
an equally satisfactory business, they
will surely be glad they are Topeka
merchants,"
"I have never seen trade commence
so early," said Walter Thompson of
Thompson Brothers' Furniture com
pany, who has been in business in To
peka for 28 years past. "The business
done this year compares very favorably
indeed with that of the very best years,
for 23 years past."
"If that money had been paid out from
the First National bank before Christ
mas," said K. H. Crosby, "there actually
would have been no bounds to the size
of the trade in the last three weeks.
Think of the amount of money that
would have been let loose in Topeka.
Some would have spent just in the joy
of being able to spend it. The peculiar
thing about this trade is that tt has
commenced so early. Ordinarily the
crowds of Christmas come during the
last week but this year we are having
them the two? weeks before. I believe
they are getting educated into the idea
of making their selections earlier. We
are glad of it because it distributes the
rush over a length of time. I should
estimate our increase over the corres
ponding time last year at 20, to 30 ier
cent. The departments vary, some
show a larger increase than others.
There is probably not so great a pur
chase of the more staple lines in our
business as there would pe If the
weather were colder. The trade drifts
the other way towards the fancier lines.
This fine weather which we, have been
havinsr has certainly brought out the
people. I have scarcely ever seen the
like. They not only come but they buy.
The purchases which are being made
are for larger amounts too."
"People are getting more sensible in
their Christmas purchases each suc
ceeding year," said Warren M. Crosby.
''They are buying useful things this
year; things that can be appreciated
axd utilized. There is very little of
this purchasing of gimcracks. It is
along straight legitimate lines, good
goods. I don't care how much we have
increased over last year but we are
more than satisfied with what we are
doing."
J. W. Robinson of Robinson, Mar
shall & Co., said: "The season this
year seems to be about a month
earlier. We sold bath robes and that
class of goods as early as the latter
part of November when in the holi
day season of past years such sales as
that were not made until the middle
of December. Christmas trade has
been given an impetus in the past few
days which it has not had and I be
lieve that it will continue right up to
Christmas. As far as we are con
cerned the percentage of increase is
'way ahead of that of last year. This
means something, too, for the stock
carried now is larger. Colder weath
er would, I believe, have a more spirit
ed effect on trade and would tend to
force people to buy some of the heav
ier character of goods."
"There has been nothing like It. The
simple truth is that Topeka and Kan
sas are prosperous," said H. H. Glenn
of the Fair department store. "The
corn and wheat crops have been some
thing great and we are getting our
share of it now In this Christmas
trade. People who usually spend a
few dollars are spending two and
three times that amount this year.
The goods they buy is of better qual
ity, too. It's not so cheap because
thev can afford to pay more."
The Palace Clothing company have
exceeded their expectations. Larger
crowds and cash purchases are char
acteristic of the gift buying crowds ac
cording to the viewpoint of the man
agement of the Palace. The Felix
Clothing company has had a similar
experience.
Mr. W. W. Mills of the Mills Dry
Goods company, said: "If the First
National bank would pay a little divi
dend, I believe the people would buy
ns out before we could get a shipment.
The trade has been steady and heavy.
Up to date the saies have been more
each day than they were for the cor
responding day last year, and I expect
a much larger business next week. The
trade is particularly heavy on the use
ful presents, such as rugs, table linen?
blankets and other articles of the kind,
which make suitable holiday presents."
The medium temperature which
prevails has given a certain trend to
the character of the purchases which
freezing weather would not have given.
This is what may be gathered from th
above and other interviews. The popu-

Many New Toys.
For the little people the world of toy
darn is resplendent with new offerings.
Mechanical genius has exerted itself
towards providing new toys to please
the children. It is a wonder that the
longing of the children has not been
overworked. There is scarcely a thing
which grown up people don't enjoy,
work with or play with that is not dup
licated in the way of a toy. If you
want to start out in the circus business
in the primary department you can buy
a complete outfit for $5, and even as
low as 11.39. For that sum of money
you can get a trained elephant who is
warranted to be docile and not eat any
thing this is not a white elephant--ani
a clown who is skilled in any feat per
formed in the sawdust rings of the
great tented affairs. n this outfit are
included ladders and other et ceteras.
The stunts in the way ef balancing
which this clown can do on a ladder is
something great. A book of instruc
tions illustrating the tricks which can
be fixed up accompanies the. outfit. A
moving picture outfit with a first-class
lense can be bought for a little over $4.
It is a toy but works like tha ' real
thing.
Old Foxy Grandpa n roller skates
claims the attention of the small boy
hot after the mechanical. Foxy Grand
pa does some side splitting stunts on
rollers, you can buy him for 37 cents.
The same amount of money buys a
clown and donkey combination in which
the donkey trots along with a calm
persistence characteristic worthy of his
real brother. The winding up of s
spring does the trick in all of these toys.
The war has not shown up extensively
in toydora. However, the toy kingdom
cherishes victory and there is a Japanese
soldier who. can walk after he is wound
up there is no Russian. Aside from this
t'nere is no representation in toys of the
late war "Tjiera hasn't been much de-.
maud for war toys," sai(J Harry Me
Mains, advertising manager who was do
ing the piloting through the toy depart
ment of the monster Jones store.
Trains which run. with a full eauip
meiu of tracks, switches and the entire
necessaries, can be secured for a $5 bilL
They are fitted up like the real thing.
Engines of all kinds, in the stationary
line, can be got from 93 cents up. They
are powerful enough to run a sewing
machfne, some of them. Dishes, tables
of the extension kind, dressers, com
modes, brass beds and. all those things
dear to the heart of a girl, are put out
with a due fidelity to detail that is in
teresting. There is a frictionless toy on the mar
ket which has a history back of it. The
inventor made a number of models, hav
ing in view the adaptation of his theory
to real use. He went insane over' the
theory before he got through, however,
and was eommitted to an asylum. He got
well, recovered, and, catching an idea
from his model, decided to make toys
with that, as a basis. He is now a mil
lionaire. Much as we talk of the United States,
Germany has the best of us on the me
chanical toy deal and all these on display
are made in the Fatherland, across the
seas. "We can't compete with the cheap
labor over there," said McMains.
DREYER IS OUT.
Chicago Banker and Politician Re
leased on Parole.
Chicago, Deo. IS. After serving nearly
seven years imprisonment in the Cook
county jail and the Joliet prison for mis
appropriation of $3W.K0 of the West
Park board's funds, Edward S. Dreyer,
formerly a prominent private banker and
well known politician, has been released
on parole and will return to Chicago in
time to spend the holiday season with his
family.
Tne granting of the parole marks the
end of a struggle for freedom on the part
of the ex-bunker, his family and his
friends, that has lasted since 1898.
Mr. Dreyer was treasurer of the West
Park board and under its rules was re
quired to pay 2 per cent interest on the
moneys in his hands. Dreyer took the
money from his private bank and depos
ited with the National Bank of Illinois,
the president of which was George
Schneider, his father-in-law. This insti
tution allowed him the same rate of in
terest he was required to pay the board.
In 1896 came the unexpected failure of
the National Bank of Illinois, and Drey
er's own institution was soon carried
down in the panic that followed. He was
unable to make good the park funds,
and after two years of legal controversy
was locked up in the county jail, where
he remained through the various legal
struggles conducted in this behalf until
1902, when the supreme court decided
against him, and he was transferred to
the penitentiary on an indeterminate
sentence of from one to fourteen years.
His release on parole has been granted
in view of the fact that the jail and pen
itentiary terms combined to make up
almost what he would have served had
he gone to Joliet after the first convic
tion. Dreyer's father-in-law, the former pres
ident of the National Bank of Illinois,
died a short time ago in Colorado. He
never recovered from the mental shock
caused by his financial collapse.
