HO BAND STAND THERE
Officers Veto Plan for One ii
House Grounds.
If a band stand for free open air
concerts by Marshall's band is to 1??
built i i a central location in lite city
it. will not be erected in the state
bouse grounds. Those promoting the
project: will have to look for another
site, for the state executive council at
its meeting held yesterday afternoon
refused to (five rhe necessary permis
sion for the building of the stand in
the state house ground?. It is likely
that an effort will be made to get per
mission from the city council for the
erection of the stand on the east side
of Harrison street between Kighth and
Ninth street?, aud if this efforts is suc
fesful. which it probably will be, the
band stand win be as near the state
house grounds as it is possible to put
it without actually getting it on the
grounds.
When the Commercial club took up
this matter of providing a band stand
in a central location in the city a
couple of weeks ago. there seemed to
be a general feeling that no trouble
would be experienced in getting the
necessary permission to build it in the
state house grounds. A committee of
twenty-one of the prominent members
of the club was appointed to wait on
the state executive council and make
application for permission to erect it
on the state house grounds.
Several members of this committee
visited the state house yesterday raorn
Ing for the purpose of appearing be
fore the executive council but that
body did not meet until 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. And at that meeting
Major Tom Anderson, secretary of the
Commercial club, presented a written
reouest from the committee of twenty
one, asking for the permission to have
the band stand built on the state house
grounds.
Major Anderson told the council
that the Commercial club would be
responsible for any damage that might
he done to the slate house grounds
through the giving of band concerts
on them and that the stand would be
removed., if at any time it should prove
to be objectionable to the executive
council.
Members of the excutive council
present at the meeting were T. T. Kel
ly, state treasurer, C. C. Coleman, at
torney general, J. H. Burrow, secre
tary of stfite. and Seth G. Wells,
auditor. There was little if any dis
cussion among the members of the
council over the proposition after
Major Anderson had presented the re
miest and retired and the council by
an unanimous ' vote of those present
decided not to grant the request. They
expressed no definite reasons for deny
ing it. It was merely the sense of the
members of the council present that
a band stand should not be put up on
the state house ground.".
When the decision of the council
was made known to the Commercial
club this morning its officers got busy
at once in search of a new location for
Jt and they decided to ask the city
council at its next meeting for permis
sion to erect it on Harrison street, on
the east side, between Klghth and
Ninth streets. It is said that several
of the councilmen, who have already
been approached on the subject, are
favorable to the proposition.
FOrn CRIPPLES FIGHT.
Trouble Grew Out of Discussion as lo
Who Was Most Unfortunate.
Tthaea. N. T., July 26. A discussion
among four cripples as to which wa9
the most unfortunate ended in a bloody
flght in St. John's hotel, near the Lack
awanna station here last night. Abram
Spicer, who has one shrunken leg, en
tered the hotel with a cripple who had
lost both legs. Within they found a
cne-armed man talking with John Dif
fsn. the proprietor, whose left arm was
amputated at the elbowr. The one-armed
guest started a discussion by saying he
was the most unfortunate man of the
lot. and Spicer put forward the claims of
M companion. In the course of the
rgument one of the cripples drew a
pistol, but before he could fire there was
general mix-up in which Spicer re
ceived long scalp wounds. Spicer has
sworn out a warrant for Diffin, who, he
ays, hit him with his own cane, charg
ing assault in the third degree. The oth
er two cripples have disappeared.

BENSON AT CO FFEY VILLE.
Senator Talks of His Office and Other
Things.
During a recent visit of Senator A.
W. Benson at Coffeyville. one of his
friends called him "Judge" as he shook
hands with him. Afterwards he chang
ed it and the senator said, "I'll be Judge
after I am senator," referring to the
title which he won by 12 years on the
district bench.
"There are two questions which are
most frequently asked me," said the
senator. "One is. 'How do you like
Washington?"- and the other. 'What do
you think of the t-enate?' It is hard to
answer either one in a few words. I
arrived in Washington when the hard
work of the session was practically
done. The great questions had been
discussed and were in the hands of the
committee, only the detail work re
mained to be straightened out. For a
member coming as I did there was little
to do except familiarize myself with the
work of the senate and the face of
the members. People in the east have
the idea that Kansas is the land of
freaks and I was asked many queer
questions about the state. Kansas has
no more freaks than any other place
but the people have heard more of
them. The work, however, is quite in
teresting and I enjoy it."
In reply to a question concerning his
candidacy, the senator said, "A news
paper paragrapher summed it up about
right when he said that the newspa
pers were saying favorable thing3 about
me but what effect would that have
on the legislators who had the votes."
The senator has four strong oppon
ents. Bristow in. the Fifth, Curtis in
First and Campbell in the Third dis
trict, and Stubbs in the Second. One or
two elements which will enter Into the
contest have shown no preference and
the contest is not sharply denned as yet.
The senator will be kept pretty busy
this next month filling engagements to
speak.
HUMAN' FLIES MAY STRIKE.
Window Washers Are Demanding an
Increase of Wages.
Chicago. July 26. There will be no
work done after August 1 by 600 win
daw washers who are employed In the
downtown district of Chicago, unless
the agents of the big office buildings
agree by that time to pay the men an
increase in wages of $2.50 per month.
This was the decision reached in a
meeting of the "human flies" yesterday,
which was attended by nearly 200 mem
bers of the Window Washers' union.
The vote was unanimous.
The scale committee made up a list
of buildings that will be involved and
it was said that few of the skyscrapers
in the downtown district would escape.
Six or seven of the managers, it was
said, have signified their willingness to
agree to the terms of the union.
NO CAS FOR STREET LIGHTS.
Those Tried by the City Do Not Fill
the Bill.
The lighting of the suburbs of the
city by natural gas lamps under a
contract with the WTe!sbach Street
Lighting company will be voted down
at a meeting of the gas and electric
lights committee and the ways and
means committee of the council on
Friday night. The lamps cost $2 3 a
year apiece to maintain, and four of
them do not give the volume of light
that an electric arc lamp furnishes.
Members of both committees think
that the proposition is not an econom
ical one. A test of the lamps has been
made In Potwin, where a number of
the lamps have been put in place by
the Welsbach company.
The two committees will probably
report favorably on a bond issue for
enlarging the present capacity of the
city electric light plant.
Democrats Endorse Republican.
The Democratic committee of the
Thirtieth judicial district which met at
Salina yesterday, adopted a resolution
indorsing Judge R. R. Rees, the present
Republican judge of -the district. The
resolution states that a thorough can
vass has been made of the situation
and that Democratic lawyers in the
district are all for Judge Rees. Judge
Rees is serving his first term, to which
he was elected by a very close margin.
There will be no candidate against him.

Her. Charles F. Parti ant's Ideas
on Prohibition. -
Would Have Tax of All Kinds
Removed.
THE END OF SALOONS.
.'Says That This Would Also Stop
the Traffic.
Denies He Belongs to the Holy
Hollers.
Rev. Charles F. Parham, the founder
of "the Apostolic Faith," who is now
trying to convert Topeka, has some
novel ideas on the prohibition question.
He advocates the withdrawal absolute
ly of all tax upon intoxicating liquors,
government revenue, city, county sr
state license in any form. This he de
clares will have the effect of making it
possible for every man who so desires to
make his own beveragcrwhich will be of
a better grade if he uses it at all, and
which will have the effect of making the
manufacture of liquors for sale an im
possibility because it can be made so
cheaply by any person that the profits
from its sale would be eliminated, and
all the brewers and saloons would have
to go out of business. That would, he
declares, make it possible for Christian
influence to cope with the evil and grad
ually wipe it out, thereby bringing all
to a higher plane of living.
He speaks in scathing terms of pro
hibition organizations organized, prin
cipally, he declares, for the purpose of
furnishing a salary and a good living to
the officers of the same although they
accomplish not one whit of good in the
suppression of the liQuor traffic. 7
Not a Holy Roller.
Rev. Mr. Parham, at his street
meeting at Seventh and Kansas ave
nue last night, told a large audience
that the Apostolic Faith movement
has no connection with the "Holy
Roller" fad which had its inning on
the Pacific coast slope so recently.
"The Apostolic Faith movement,"
he said, "is a dignified movement,
directed by the Almighty power, and
has no connection with' the sensa
tional Holy Rollers. We nave no sym
pathy with nor do we countenance the
gymnastic contortions of the Holy
Rollers, who throw fits. perform
somersaults, roll and kick m the straw
or dust or upon the floor of the meet
ing house.
"I do believe, however, tn throwing
one's whole heart into the work and
to show one's feeling In an enthusi
astic manner. Our revival meetings
are no dull affairs, but we do not
countenance absurd exhibitions which
a certain element seem disposed to
display. When any of that class come
to our meeting and begin throwing
fits, we quietly have the attendants
take them out.
"I am sorry that the public has be
come confused in gaining the impres
sion that we have any connection with
the Holy Rollers. It probably came
about through the conversion of one
of the leaders of that body to our
faith, and some of the sensationally
inclined newspapers have tried to
gain a 'good story' by printing a lot
of Holy Roller rot In connection with
our movement."
Meetings on Sunday.
Three sensational meetings are look
ed forward to Sunday at the Audi
torium, w hen the Rev. Charles F. Par
ham, the projector of what he terms
"The Apostolic Faith" movement, will
hold forth. Parham admits that he is
a "startling pulpit speaker" and his
known proclivities for speaking plainly
his opinions on all subjects from love.

marriage and religion and. politics to
all other subjects commonly dwelt
upon by public speakers, bear him out
in his admission that he is a startling
pulpit orator. ;
Parham's career in this direction be
gan in Topeka six years ago with the
so-called Pentecostal experience which
he and his co-workers. claim to have
undergone at the time the movement
had headquarters at the famous
"Stone's Folly" west from "Washburn
college.
The Pentecostal experience was
nothing more or less than the visita
tion of the "cloven tongues of fire" re
ferred to in the second chapter .of the
Acts of the Apostles, which says:
"And the day of Pentecost was fully
come, they were all with one accord in
one place. And suddenly there came
a sound from heaven as of a mighty
wind, and it filled all the house where
they were sitting. And there appeared
unto them cloven tongues, like as of
fire, and it sat upon each of them. And
they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost and began to speak with other
tongues, as the soirit gave them utter
ance." and so forth.
From the small beginning made by
Parham six years ago his work has
spread so that he claims that there are
thousands and thousands of followers
to his movement in all parts of the
globe. He appears quite modest when
it is taken into consideration' that if his
claims be true he is one of the instru
ments in the working out of super
natural plans described in . prophecy
and which is of greatest moment in
religiondom.
To a reporter for the State Journal
Parham announced that at the 11
o'clock Sunday meeting at the Audi
torium he intended to discuss the all
absorbing question from time im
memorial "Where did Cain get his
wife?" He will also outline at that
meeting his lecture on "Zionism" or
"Restoration of Palestine to the Jews."
into which he will bring a discussion
of the troubles of the Jews in Russia.
He declares that his discussion of
the question of where Cain got his
wife is a wonderful dissertation on the
subject "carrying the audience in
transcendent thought from the birth
throes of creation through the noon of
the world's night to the burst of im
mortal dawn."
The 3 o'clock meeting will be given
over to a discussion of the "Future."
politically, socially and religiously. He
proposes to cut to the core of each of
.Vif.Jhree sublets, laying bare the
nlth and rottenness" vhich he de
clares exists in the political arena, the
social world and amongst profess-ed
Christians. He declares that he will
have some startling local disclosures to
make.
At the afternoon meeting he will
also discuss the liquor problem, flaying
the 'bigoted temperance crank" as
well as the "sensual groveling liquor
slave, helping invective and oppro
brium upon one as well as the other.
SON'S DEATH 315,000
Alonzo P. Warrington Brings Action
Against Vnion Pacific.
Fifteen thousand dollars damages Is
asked by Alonzo P. Warrington
against the T'nlon Pacific railroad for
the death of his son, Alfred J. War
rington, 20 years old, who was em
ployed in the civil engineering de
partment of that railroad and who
was run ever on the 14th of June bv
a freight train at Hanna. Wyo. The
suit has been filed In the United States
district court by the attorneys for the
plaintiff. Anglevine & Cubblson.
Alonzo P. Warrington, the father of
the young man, is a resident of Wyan
dotte county.
His son was employed as a flagman
with the surveying corps of the rail
road and was stationed with it at
Hanna. Wyo. While employed in this
capacity on the 14th of June he was
standing in the middle of a track near
the railroad depot responding to the
orders of the man running the sur
veying instrument. Two freight trains
pulled in while the two men were en
gaged in their ' w ork: A work train
passed Warrington bound eastward,
J1!13 JO"'1 man got off the track
and let it pas by. He then returned
to his position- in the center of the
track to permit a through freight
which was on a passing track bound
east to go' ahead. The rear flagman
on the work train was ordered by his
conductor to get on the through
freignt and ride ahead to throw the
switch. The work train, it is claimed
had no one to properly guard its rear
or warn anyone of its approach Sud
denly the work train backed down the
track on which Alfred Warrington
was standing. At the same time the
through freight was pulling past War

Boart of Control Fixes the In
sane Rules.
Only Those With Mental Dis
orders Admitted.
LIABILITY FOR CRIME.
Line Drawn by the Courts Fix
ing Responsibility.
When Person Understands Na
ture of His Acts.
Considerable discussion is being in
dulged in by the newspapers through
out the country, editorially and other
wise, and the papers of Kansas are do
ing their share of it, over what consti
tutes criminal responsibility, when a
person charged with a grave crime sets
up a plea of insanity. This discussion
has been instigated by the murder of
Stanford "White by, Harry K. Thaw
and the squabbles which have been in
dulged in between Thaw and his var
ious attorneys as to whether or not his
defense should be that of insanity in
some of its phaseE, more particularly
emotional Insanity.
In this discussion, especially in some
of the Kansas papers, some rather
unique ideas have been advanced as to
the criminal responsibility of the weak
minded, and it is therefore exceedingly
interesting to know just what the law
is in cases of this sort as laid down by
the supreme court of this state.
A compilation of the various decisions
of the court of last resort of the state
has been made by the state board of
control and makes up a chapter of their
annual report which has not been pub
lished as yet. This chapter is headed
"Criminal Responsibility," and among
other things it says:
In considering the legal phases of in
sanity in Kansas four distinctions
should be kept in mind:
First The rules for the construction
of statutes, section 7342, G. S. 1901. sub
division sixth, "the words Insane per
sons' include idiots, lunatics s.nd dis
tracted persons."
Second The first class of insane per
sons, the ones eligible for admission to
state hospitals. Section 6570, G. S. 1901,
defines the meaning of the word "in
sane" as used in that act; the purpose
being to limit the admission of persons
to the hospitals to persons whose minds,
by reason of brain sickness, have be
come unsound, as distinguished from
idiots, imbeciles, persons of unsound
mind, and habitual drunkards who are
not fit subjects for treatment in a hos
pital for brain disease or insanity, and
to classify and treat such persons as
sick persons.
Third The second class of what is
generally referred to as insane persons,
idiots, imbeciles, persons of unsound
mind, and habitual drunkards, and for
either of these reasons incapable of
managing their affairs, who have
estates and for whom guardians should
be appointed. Chapter 299, laws 1905.
Fourth Criminal responsibility
the right and wrong test. The rule of
criminal responsibility as laid down and
held by our supreme court is as fol
lows.: "Where a person at the time of the
commission of an alleged crime has
sufficient mental capacity to under
stand the nature and quality of the
particular act or acts constituting the
crime, and the mental capacity to
know whether they are right or wrong,
he is responsible if he commits such
act or acts, whatever may be his ca
pacity in other particulars; but if he
does not possess this degree of ca
pacity, then he is not so responsible.
In other words, if he has mental ca
pacity sufficient to distinguish between
right and wrong with respect to the
particular" act or acts constituting the
alleged crime, he should be held re
sponsible for the commission of such
act or acts, although he might be in
sane or imbecile with respect to other
matters; but if he does not possess
such capacity, then, of . course, he
should be held to be irresponsible."
On the question of "uncontrollable
impulse (emotional insanity), the laws
and decisions of the courts of Kansas
do not recognize uncontrollable im
pulse independent of the right and
wrong test.
Other decisions of the state courts
are that the law presumes every man
to be sane and that he is responsible
for what he does; where habitual un
soundness of mind is once shown to
exist it is presumed to continue until
the contrary is shown; sanity, if at
tacked by testimony. Is to be proven
by the state, as any other fact, to the
satisfaction of the jury, and each and
every fact must be proved beyond a
reasonable doubt.
The state courts have also held that
nonprofessional witnesses may give
his opinion as to sanity, as the result
of his personal observation of the per
son whose mental condition is in ques
tion, after first stating the facts which
he observed. so general rule can be
laid down as to what shall be suf
ficient opportunity of observation in
the witness.
As to where and how criminal re
sponsibility shall be tried the supreme
court holds that "the practice has been
well established in this state that the
question of sanity or insanity in a crim
inal case, where it is claimed that the
defendant was insane at the time of the
commission of the alleged offense, may
be tried along with all other questions
in the case."
The decisions of supreme court have
not finally settled, the question as to
how criminal responsibility shall be
tried when the plea is made that the
defendant became insane after the com
mission of the crime and should not be
tried for it but his sanity inquired into
and if insane he should be sent to an
asylum. In some cases t ehsujreme
court has decided that judges did not
err in having this question decided at
the same time as the other questions
asylum. In some cases the supreme
court has held that this question of
subsequent insanity has been properly
eliminated from the trial for the crime
and taken before a probate judge and
special jury. But the court holds that
where this subsequent insanity is prov
ed and the person sent to an asylum,
the crime he was charged with still
stands against him and if he recovers
his reason he can be tried for the crime.

owest Known Prices j
. I
July is without question the dullest month of the year f
for retail stores. Hundreds of people go on their vaca-
tions. Those who stay at home really stay there, not I
even coming down town. That's why this store, during I
the weeks of July, ha3 been selling summer goods at
such ridiculously low prices. Just a few more days of
the Mid-Summer Bargain Harvest Sale. You should
pay particular attention to the bargains we shall offer.
The prices will be money -savingly low. The goods will
be seasonable and of a thoroughly dependable quality
like this store has always and shall always sell.
The store will close tomorrow at 5:30 p. m.
Keep This Till Saturday
We have hundreds of customers who do not receive tonight's
paper early enough so they can get to the store the day the bar
gains are on sale. Here's a foreword, and remember that fore
warned Is to be forearmed. Saturday, not till then, we shall sell
tlifrd pint jelly glasses at 16c a doxen. Complete with tin lids
and In every way the same as we sell regularly at 23e a do.en.
Xow we have enough to last through Saturday. You never
bought jeHy glasses so cheap and yon probably won't ever buy
them again so cheap. Remember, on sale Saturday only two
dozen to a customer per dozen 16c.
Special For Tomorrow
' Sometimes you can buy goods cheap, hut you really don't
need the goods right at thetime so do not make the purcha.se.
When the timo comes, then yon must pay the regular price.
Tomorrow women can buy three-point slippers for 69c. And
that's less than factory cost. The regular price Is $1.15 the
4fic you save will surely pay for keeping the slippers even three
months, or till they are needed. Made of soft vicl kid have
hand turned soles all sizes. On sale Friday only one pair to a
customer $1.13 slippers for 60c a pair.
Special For Tomorrow
Really does it make any dlfferejice whether the mosquito
lmr you use is red or green or blue or white? We hope not.
I x cause we have something like 150 bolts of blue mosquito bar
to sell Friday at 4c a yard. 32c a bolt of 8 yards. The regular
price being 7c ftOc a holt. Full width and regular quality. We
will sell one customer any quantity up to 8 yards. Blue is a big
seller with us we simply have 150 more holts thnn the demand
will call for. So here we go tomorrow as long as the lot lasts

WANTS ins CHILDREN,
Charles H. Wright of Colorado Sues
Arkansas City Woman.
Winfield, Kan.. July 26 Charles H.
Wright, of Teller county Col., has
brought habeas corpus proceedings in
district court against his sister-in-law,
Mrs. Genevieve O'Dowd, of Arkansas
City, demanding possession of his two
children, Marie Agnes and Jewell
Miianda. He states that he is the fath
er and duly appointed guardian of the
children, the latter by order of the pro
bate courts of Teller and El Paso coun
ties, Col., in which place he and his
wife lived until she died, and in which
the children were born and lived until
recently. He alleges that Mrs. O'Dowd
obtained possession of the children by
cunning deceit and fraud and is hold
ing them unlawfully from him.
Mr. Wright, in conversation, ex
plained that It was Just eleven years
from the time he married and went to
Colorado from Wichita, until his wife
died and was brought back to the lat
ter place to be buried. He and the
children came on at that time and their
aunt took them to Arkansas City to
visit her, while he went back home.
There he was appointed guardian, a no
tice of which was filed in the probate
court here, but Mrs. O'Dowd had her
self appointed in this court. The bone
of contention aside from the children
seems to be a piece of property Mrs.
Wright owned In Arkansas City. Mr.
Wright makes a good impression on
those who talk with htm. He is an en
gineer on the Colorado Midland.
