man would appear in the case.'
.Officials say that should the Kan

case. Up to this afternoon the Kan
sas City man had not appeared, in, the
court room. 4 :', tr i
Several witnesses gave evjdejice to

by both counsels was rigid. Ob
jections and "tiffs" between opposing
lawyers were not unusual.
Hammatt's Story.- -. .
The second day's proceedings began
this morning with Theodore Hammatt.
the recipient of the alleged letters, on
the stand. Hammatt testified that the
first letter - which he received was
thrown in the vestibule of his house
on Sunday evening, September 20.
The letter told Hammatt that the writ
er or writers desired $L5.S0O from the
miller and that if he derided to sub
mit to the terms in the letter to stand
in front of the National hotel at noon
the next day and smoke a cigarette.
After conferring with the local po
lice Hammatt performed the act.
The next day another letter was de
livered to his house, according to
Hammatt's testimony,, and the second
missive directed Hammatt to ride
south on the Topeka avenue Toad un
tel he saw a flashlight and leave the
money at that place. -
It was when West, the Kansas City
detective posing as Hammatt, followed
the instructions in the letter and rode
a horse south oh the road until he saw
a light flash three times in the road
that works of the trap that had been
set by . local officials for the capture
of the v man waiting to receive the
money were "Jimmed."
Fired at Iiight.
For'no sooner did the sleuth see the
light he fired three times with ' a
revolver, and, according to those in
the posse, started up the road. -
The letters received by Hammatt
were signed. "La Mano Nera." Fol
lowing a strenuous objection oh the
part of J. J. Schenck, attorneyfor the
defense,- Aiigustin " Alba, a - Spanish
deputy sheriff, was placed in the
chair to interpret the words. Accord
ing to Alba the Word "Nera" was" mis
spelled .and should have been "Negra."
The combination of words would then
mean in English "The Black Hand."
According to Alba there Is no such
word as "Nera" "in the Spanish, ' Mexi
can or Italian language.
Motorcycle Incident.
Tucker testified that Collins came
to the shop on September 21 and
asked for a second-hand single cylin
der motorcycle between 1:15 and 4
o'clock in the afternoon. Tucker said
Collins spoke of his father . getting
hurt and said that he (Collins) want
ed the machine for his father to ride.
Collins, according to Tucker, askedf if
he could get the machine . the next
afternoon.
On Wednesday. September 21, ac
cording to Tucker, Collins cam after
the machine, aad did not trine it hack
tnai nignu
Tucker said that he saw Collins be
tween t and 19 o'clock the morning
of September 2 and Collins said that
he had punctured the rear wheel of
tne motorcycle and had left it at
Baughman's Ice cream factory? That
afternoon Tucker and Chester McKin-
ney went to the factory to get the
motorcycle;, - according to the witness
testimony. .
Tucker then stated, wnen cross
examined that the rear wheel of the
motorcycle was flat and there was
mud on different parts of the machine.
. That Chunk of Mud.
The tires and other accessories of
the motorcycle were introduced by
the state as evidence. The chunk of
mud. taken from the roadside near
the scene of the flashlight incident
was also introduced. An effort will be
made by Herbert .Garver and W. E.
Atchison to prove that the imprint in
the mud was made by tires of the
motorcycle which it is claimed that
Collns was riding.
Tucker also stated while in the
chair that hedgethorns were found in
the casing of the leaky tire. Accord
ing to county officials It would nave
been possible for the thorns to have
been picked up by a motorcycle fall
ing alongside the road in the vicinity
of the place where the shooting by the
Kansas City sleuth occurred.
However, Tucker admitted that it
would have been possible for the
thorns to get tn the casing before the
machine was taken out by Collins.
Vera McKinney, who was employed
at the Harding store during last Sep.
tember, and Dan Hammatt, a brother
of Theodore Hammatt, gave eviefence
for 'the-state.
TWICE n r.
House Recommends Pay Day
Bill for Passage.
Railroads Must Paj Twenty
Four Times a Tear Under Bill.
Eliminating from Its provisions all
municipal, township and school dis
trict corporations, the house commit
tee of the whole recommended for
passage the Keene bill providing for
twice a month pay days for employees
of corporations. The bill is aimed di
rectly at the railroads. A heated 20
minute discussion of provisions of the
bill marked its passage.
By terms of his original bill, all
city, county, township and school dis
trict employees might demand a
semi-monthly pay day. Ferrell of
Chautauqua, county, amended the bill
to read private corporations. Bird.,
of Shawnee and Mahurln of Coffey
county engaged in a warm discussion
of the provisions of the bill. -
"This is the only thing the railway
employees will probably get at the
hands of this legislature," said Ma
hurln. "I am glad to say a word for
the poor railway employee is overalls,
even if 4ft does hurt the poor railway
corporation a little." -
"More than 1,200 railway employees
!n Topeka have urged me to - vote
against any legislation tending to
barrass or cripple the railroads at this
time," declared Bird of Shawn-e.- .."I
don't feel the need of my friend from
Coffey county that I must carry -some
sop to my onst'tuents and must pin-;
ish a railway or corporation xo ao-
If a bill is just Ican br.tor it. If ttvfcday -but admitted tha-no-;iimpprtant
is unjust, .1, am against' it. This billf developments could be' expected for
is unjust."'
"Probably the viw of tbe-gentleman
from Shawnee explains wr i3ere are
so many Republicans on ?jouth
side of the house." replied-ahurin,
a Democrat. . " - v '
"If you -. -ould play fair with your
constituents; .there might be more
Democrats here," shouted Bird.
Keene of Bourbon defended his bill.

College Hill Resident Shot by
Burglar at Midnight.
Thief, Surprised by "Intruder,"
. . Shoots T. G: Sehoenhoven.
The police this morning had io clue
as to the identity of the burglar -who
shot T. G. Sehoenhoven last' i -night.
The coos ore In vest iiratlna: the cWse-to-
several days.
.'Sehoenhoven was shot and seriously
injured by i burglar: hji'?:was ran
sacking bis home at 1322 College ave
nue. This was the climax: of the series
of holdups and burglaries which have
terrorized the residence section of To
peka for a long time, especially in. the
College Hill district. r i
The burglar made good' hits -escape.
The police were called and made their
appearance promptly' A tladerslieriff
Hugh Larimer also ariritw and an im
med iate search for the ' burglar was
made. . . .
i When Mr. and Mrs: Sehoenhoven re
turned to their home at midnight last
night, thetf saw a flashlight, in action
in the rear of the house. Entering by
the rear door, Mr. Sehoenhoven -walked
into a hallway. He had taken but
a step or two before the burglar seized
him by the throat and, fired -his revol
ver at the same time. ! The bullet en
tered Schoenhoven's hip, making a bad
wound. The burglar rushed past Mrs.
Sehoenhoven and made oed- his
escape. Mrs. Sehoenhoven rushed to
the phone, and called J. R. Sargent, of
1312 College avenue,, an Ci it. , Ewers,
1324 College avenue,' who went to the
house at once: - Dr. W. . DStorrs was
called. . - - c. j
The burglar effected -his entrance
by prying off the lock, on the rear
door. He was evidently gathering up
a tablecloth full of silverware and
dropped it when he heard the ap
proach. Dr. Storrs said the wounds were not
fatal. Sehoenhoven was removed to
Stormont hospital. .
BOWMAN AFTER THEM
Anderson Senator Would Tax Y. M.
C. A. as Wen as College Frats.
Senator Noah L. Bowman of An
derson, having written one bill to re
move the tax exemption now extended
to the college fraternity and sorority
houses, has gone a step farther and
proposes to put the property of
Young Men's and Toung Women's
Christian associations back on the tax
roll.
Should the Bowman bill, introduced
yesterday afternoon, be passed, it will
wipe section 9218 of the general stat
utes off the slate. That's all there is
to the bill. It merely cancels the ex
emption from taxes under which the
two organizations mentioned enjoy the
use of several hundred thousand dol
lars worth of property tax-free. That
the proposal will fill the. lobbies of the
legislature with indignant friends of
the two organizations is a safe predic
tion and ought to promote friendly re
lations between the fraternities and
the "Ys" which are now in the same
boat so far as the legislature is con
cerned. .

The optimistic views of the president of
the United States Steel corporation on the
foreign trade situation coupled with an
other break iu exchange on London, were
factors in the general rise, which followed
the early trading.
Aside from Canadian Pacific, ' however,
none of the leaders gained aa much as a
point, the most substantial advances again
being confined to the specialties. The
Betbelhem Steel continued to rise, despite
adverse dividend prospects. Loose-Wiles
Biscuit fell 3 points to its minimnm of 20.
Sudden selling of New Y'ork Central at a
decline of 8 pointa developed at midday.
Bonds were easy.
A two point advance in Canadian Pacific
resulting from yesterday's declaration of
the regular dividend was the onlv note
worthy feature of today's early and some
what irregular stock market. Leading
shares again moved contrarllv United
States Steel. Amalgamated Copper and
Amalgamated Copper and Union Pacific
scoring slight gains, while Reading nd
Southern Pacific were fractionally lower.
National Lead was the strongest of the
specialties, gaining two pointa. while fed
eral mining preferred lost as mnch. Trad
ing became more active with a strong un
dertone at the end of the first half hour.

' Kansas' City Stock Yards, Feb." 8,-Cattle
trade showed some Improvement late last
weekvexcept on stockers and feeders,whlch
suffered severely from the Kansas sanitary
aituatlon. The fact that the Kansas cases
of foot and mouth disease seem to be
safely confined within the quarantined dis
trict, and that only one new caae has come
to the surface si. the original outbreak,
is tending t. spread confidence. Shipments
of stocker and feeding cattle ai now per
mitted to Kansas in cases where the cattle
can be traced aa originating tn clean terri
tory, otherwise the quarantine is strict.
Missonrt, lows, and Nebraska receive
stockers and feeders from here without re
striction. The supply todsy is 8,000 rattle,
market steady to 15c higher than last
v :ek. ' Sales under $7.50 including butcher
grades, not the advance, buyers ving
slowly when aaking price above $7.50. Some
butcher heifers sold at $7.05 and $7.25 that
were like heifers laat week at $7 or leas.
Light weight short fed steers at $7 to $7.50
brought a little more than last t eek'a
vauiea. Wi 'e the market was some im
provement, over last week. It was still a
disappointment to moat sellers. Runs
were moderate at all points, but were
composed largely of killing grades, both
here and at Chicago. The market aituatlon
changes s. often, and is subject to so many
active Influences that commission men bes-itit-e
to give advice to shippers, although
their suggestions at the close last week
favored staying off the market with cattle
fo- thi present, unless there were urgent
reasons for selling.
Hogs sold 5c to 10c high on the early
market, to ahippera, top $6.90. Packers bids
were steady, and bulk of salea ranged
from $6.70 to $6.85. C! cap hogs are blamed
for a portion of the depresrlon in cattle
prices, but on the other hand, the good
demand for'oork. -esoltinir from Ita ehean.
