EMPORIA WILL HELP.
Ji Half Hundred Business Men Will
: Attend the Gas Blowout In May.
" Emporia, Kan., April 24. A" big
delegation of. town boosters forty or
'fifty business men, have already Blgnl
llled their Intention and the Emporia
'band, will go to Cottonwood Falls and
t Strong City, May 6. to help celebrate
ithe advent of natural gas In those two
I towns. The band is going because it
has been hired by the Kansas Gas &
(Cement company, while the Emporia
boosters' motive is to let the Kansas
. Gas 6c Cement company know that this
town is waiting for the extension of
'its pipe line.
i When the gas company decided to
fpipe its product to Cottonwood Falls
'and Strong City, it had Empori in
'mind and bought a pipe so big that
the main to this town can be hitched
to the pipe that conveys the gas from
ithe Elmdale fields 'to Strong City. A
'.line to Emporia from the Elmdale gas
fields will really be an extension of the
Strong City pipe line.
George Broadwell, manager of the
Emporia Artificial Ice & Coal Storage
-company said today:
"I don't know much about gas, but
we all know there is a crying need for
gas in Emporia, and if this company
from Elmdale has the goods we want
it. And I believe it has gas," con
tinued Mr. Broadwell, "for it seems to
be delivering it to its consumers, and
that is all anyone can ask.
"I intend to go to Strong City and
Cottonwood Falls when that celebra
tion comes off, and boom the building
. of a pip line to Emporia."
When the celebration at Strong City
and Cottonwood Falls is held, it is the
plan of the company to put' a large
pipe in the air and ignite it, so that
the blaze may be seen for miles in
every direction. It will be possible to
see the blaze at night from Emporia- -

FOR A FIRELESS COOKER.
The Army at Leavenworth Will Make
a Test Soon. . ,
Leavenworth. Kan.. Aoril '24.
Word has been received at the Post to
the effect that the war department
would shortly furnish the Third squad
ron of the Thirteenth cavalry with a
model of the new "Fireless Cooker"
with a view to that organization mak
ing a thorough test of the new inven
tion;
The stove, or range, as it is com
monly called, will be used in practice
marches during the summer and the
field maneuvers also, for the prepara
tion or food ror ali the troops on the
march. It was not learned who in
vented the cooking apparatus in ques
tion, but presumably it is the same
type of range as has been invented by
Captain George E. Stockle of the
Eighth cavalry, which apparatus was
on exhibition at the schools last fail.
It appeared to be a very unique
labor saving and compact affair, which
requires a four-mule team to haul
from place to place.
There are fourteen other organiza
tions throughout the country to make
tests similar to the one to be made by
the cavalry here. .The sixth field artil
lery at Fort Riley will make the test
at that post. The apparatus is ex
pected to arrive at the Post some time
this week.

TUCKER IN COURT
His Trial for Misuse of " Hails
- Actually Begins, i
Judge Amidon Holds Third In-
dietment Good.--
TRYING TO GET JURY.
Eighteen Men Are Sworn 'in at
Once. ,
Standard Oil. Figures in. Ques
tions to Jurors. ;
H. H. Tucker, Jr;, promoter of the
Uncle Sam oil company, is now on
trial for nslng the United States mails
to defraud, in connection with the
exploitation of the company.
Tucker' was first Indicted by a fed
eral grand.; jury on April 8, 1907.
Ever since ' that time his name has
more or less occupied the attention
of the . United States court that is
Tuckef and the manner in which he
organized his company and" managed
He has -been ; Indicted three times,
twice the . , indictment has been
quashed on the - insufficiency . of the
indictment -as presented., The first in
dictment was quashed by Judge D; B.
Dyer of St. Louis last fall, a second in
dictment was returned last t January
and this indictment was similarly
treated by Judge Charles F. Amidon.
The third and final indictment was
returned by the federal grand jury
Thursday and though Albert Wilson,
attorney for Tucker, entered a de
murrer this morning,' It - was over
ruled. "The demurrer is. overruled," said
Judge Amidon, simply.-
"We except," said Wilson. '
Wilson claimed, that Tucker should
not be held for every one of the . cir
culars that were sent out and . 'that
the indictment wrongfully placed the
responsibility of the issuance of the
many thousands of circulars upon
Tucker. Wilson contended that the
manner in which the indictment was
drawn would make it possible for
Tucker to be made the defendant in
innumerable suits and all based on
the same offense, that of using the
mails to defraud.
"Before we go. to trial we 1 should
have the copies, of the printed circu
lars that Tucker" is said to have mailed
and printed and which the government
oniy reiers to m their indictment,
said Wilson, in i presenting a bill of
particulars asking that copies of the
circulars be given to Tucker in or
der that .the defense might be able to
know exactly what the government
intended to set-out in its charges.
'I don't think that the scheme to
defraud is based -on the circulars. They
aire simply introduced to show the
averments or the- general intent of a
scheme to defraud," said Judge Ami
don; in denying the request.
With this preliminary skirmishing
ended the swearing in - of the juror
preparatory - to-- the trial took place.
Eighteen Jurors Were sworn in at once
and- questioned by the opposing coun
sel' as ;to their '"qualifications to serve
as jurors in -this particular case.
This method of swearing in 18 at
once , was done in order -to expedite the
proceedings. Each side, the govern
ment as well as Tucker, will be per
mitted to challenge three jurors, leav
ing the 12 accepted men to act.
Notwithstanding the strenuous at
tempts that have been made to keep
the Standard Oil controversy out of
the existing trial it looks as if Wil
son. Tucker s attorney, win make a
determined effort to inject some por
tion of the Standard Oil charges into
the trial.
In examining the jurors Wilson ask
ed them questions something like this
Are you a stockholder in the Stand
ard Oil company?"
"Are you an agent for the Standard
Oil company?" .
'Have you any relative or near
friends in the employ of the Standard
Oil company. 1
"Have you any prejudice in favor of
the Standard Oil company?"
"Have you any feeling against the
upbuilding of an independent oil com
pany.'
"Have you any connection with the
railroads?
"Do you ride , on railroad transpor
tation?"
"Do you know whether you use
Standard Oil or some other oil at
home?" 5
The question failed to elicit that any
of the Kansans on the jury were own
ers -of stock in the Standard Oil com
pany. The great majority of the men
are farmers, a number of them retired
Thev stated in reply to questions that
they had heard of the case and read of
it but there was scarcely a one out of
the entire eighteen men who would
confess to having entertained a con vie
tion as to either the guilt or innocence
Of Tucker.

allegation of the state of Kansas that
the Traders - live stock exchange of

witness from Trinidad, Colo., refused
to tell A. L. Berger, an attorney the
name of the commission man who
the witness said had told him that the
Kansas Citiy market was not open to
country - buyers, the attorney
threatened to send for an officer, and
there was a long wrangle.
Attorney General Jackson of Kan
sas, said to Mr. Berger: "You've
brought it on yourself. You can set
tle it with the ; witness and . the. no
tary."
"I have hot brought it on myself,
returned , Mr. Berger warmly. "This
!f your witness. I object to ' your
bringing witnesses here, who refuse
to answer questions. I ask to have
this witness committed . until . he
answers."
"Well then it was Fllo Harris," said
the witness. "
"I did not know Filo Harris was
commission man." . said Mr. Berger,
and peace was restored.
Mr. McKenzie is a director in the
Co-Operative Live Stock Commission
company, a Denver concern, doing
business on the Kansas City live stock
market - The- -examination brought
out that in a speech before an asso
ciation of cattlemen In Des Moines,
the witness had mads charges against
the Kansas City stock yards concern
ing the manner of "weighing in" and
"weighing out" cattle and other
things.
"Where did you get your informa
tion about these things?" asked Mr.
Jackson. "I was told by-Dr. Ben
nett, at that time the Inspector of the
bureau of animal industry here." .
'-'Did you ever have any talk with
any of the members of the live stock
exchange about these -charges?".
"Yes; I was asked by them at a
conference if I had accused the
Traders . of dishonesty. I told them
that I had referred to the scalpers in
the yard. I told them that I would
continue to expose sucn practices"
"Did you have any knowledge of a
boycott at this time?"
' "I knew the packers were boy
cotted." .
. "Why were they boycotted V
."Because they did -business with
the Co-Operative." -
On cross examination the witness
was asked :
"Who told you 'about a - boycott
against the packers?"
t "Charles Armour,, also -Mr. Swift."
' The investigation was ended tem
porarily and will be resumed at a
later date. . . .
On the Wrong Scent, i '
A" prominent citizen of Washington
was traveling over a "line of railway
with which he was unfamiliar. - At a
certain point the .road passes a . fer
tilizer factory, the odor from which
is offensive. It is particularly dis
agreeable to a lady who is com
pelled to make the journey daily. As
protection from the ; obnoxious at
mosphere, she is accustomed to carry
bottle of lavender salts.- -
As the train approached the fac
tory she produced the vial as usual,
unstopped it and applied it ..to her
nostrils. Presently the odors Irom
the factory began to permeate the
car. The Washington man ' endured
it as long as he felt that -he could. At
last he rose to his feet, and approach
ing the- lady in his most, polite man
ner: .- -'
"Madam; may. I request you to re
place-, the stopper in that . bottle ?"
