TOPEKA. Kans.. Sept. 22.— The Smith
County officers have not yet eucee'eded In ap
prehending Thomas Madison, the supposed
murderer of three women In that county last
Tuesday night.
The tackling o'f criminals calls for many
qualities, but it is after the arrest of a
suspected criminal, says T. P.'s Weekly,
that the most subtle part of the French
detective's art is called into play. The
French authorities do not consider a case
against an accused man complete, unless
he has actually confessed his guilt, and it
is to the agents of the Surete that the
magistrates look to obtain this conclusive
proof. A detective makes' friends with the
prisoner, pretends to sympathize with him
In his* trouble and tells him that it .will
certainly ease his mind if he makes a
clean breast of the whole affair. Or he
works on his feelings by kindness. It is
usual at the Surete to give the prisoner a
good lunch and to take advantage of his
resultant expanslveness to get him to
talk. It may be remarked that though
prisoners are led to believe that their
confession will be taken into account by
the Judges and Jury in apportioning sen
tence, In practice the contrary is the case.
The man who confesses is lost. This fact
prompted' a notorious murderer named
Avinain to address to the public at his
execution this supreme recommendation,

Antonio Gularte was neld to answer be
fore the Superior Court by Police Judge
Fritz yesterday on a charge of arson in
$3000 bonds. He is accused of having: set
fire to his barber shop at 415% Powell
street on the morning of September 12.
Flames were discovered in two separate
rooms and there was evidence that coal
oil had been plentifully utilized.
The Judge in holding the defendant said:
"It was mv intention at first to make
the bonds $10,000, but I think $5000 is
enough. The crime is a flagrant one, as
the defendant must have known that the
chances were that sixteen lives might
have been sacrificed by his act, that num
ber of people having been asleep at the
time in the lodging-house above his shop.
Besides, as the buildings In that block
are all built close together there is no
saying what the damage might have been
if the fire had not been discovered in
time."

ALAMEDA. Sept. 22.— With all the dls
'¦ cussions of the railroad franchises at cau
: cuses, conferences, meetings and mass
meetings, there are still those who be
lieve that certain phases of the agitation
have not yet been brought out and among
the residents holding that view are a
number of the Park street business men
not affiliated with the Board of Trade.
Twelve of these to-day issued the fol
lowing call for a meeting of the mer
chants and tradesmen of Alameda:
We, the undersigned merchants and trades
men in the city of Alameda, believing that an
erroneous impression prevails among our fel
low-citizens respecting our attitude on tha
questions before our City Trustees at this
time, and desiring to correct said false Im
pression as soon as possible, hereby request
the merchants and tradesmen of our city to
meet in Eureka Hall, in the Masonic Temple,
corner of Park street and Alameda avenue, on
Thursday, the 24th inat.. at 8 o'clock p. "m.
J. J. Konlgshofer, F. Binder. H. SI liram
ttian. L Durein. A. O. Gott, Olson & Co.. A.
.Victors. E. D. Judd. J. E. Baker, J. W. Hew,
G. Schaeffer. J. B. Vosburgh Company.
In the notice the "questions before our
City Trustees" means the two applica
tions for franchises for local steam roads
filed by the Southen Pacific Company with
the municipal legislators. The signers of
the call feel that much has been said
and done in their name during the agi
tation that they were not responsible for
and in no way approved. Their purpose
is to dispel the general Impression that
a majority of the merchants of Alameda
are in accord with the tactics adopted by
the Board of Trade in its fight against
the granting of the franchises to the
Southern Pacific Company and with the
treatment of the City Trustees by that
organization. ,
It was Professor Frank Soule's turn to
stand the grill of an attorney's cross
examination into his private affairs to
day. In the hearine of his petition to
be relieved of paying $75 a month ali
mony it has been his former wife, so far,
who has been on the stand in an en
deavor to resist his plea that she is in no
need of the money.
In answer to questions Professor Soule
stated that his salary is $275 a month,
and that since ISM $75 a month of this
has pone toward the support of his chil
dren. He bought a house for $4500 ajid
still owes $1500 on it. He said he has
had to economize to live on $200; that he
has to limit himself in the purchase of
books he needs in connection with his
profession. He denied that part of the
answer to his petition where the attor
ney for Mrs. Soule stated that he had
agreed to pay his wife $75 a month ali
mony for tho remainder of her life in
consideration cf her relinquishing her
right to certain property claimed by both
of them. He said that the first he had
heard of such an agreement was when
he read it in the answer to his petition.
He said that the $75 a month had come
voluntarily from him at the suggestion
of his attorney, who told him he ought
to do somethinc for his children, but
that there never had been any agree
ment to this effect and that he had never
talked to any one on the subject except
his attorny.
Professor Soule was subjected to a rigid
cross-examination on this point, but this
part of the testimony the attorney for
Mrs. Soule was unable to change.

The Orthodox Congregation of Beth
Jacob held fitting services for the new
year yesterday and to-day.
The Jewish New Year, or Rosh Ho
shana, the observance of which was be
gun last night, was continued this morn
ing by special devotional services at the
First Hebrew Congregation. . '
Rabbi M. Kriedlander delivered a ser
mon on "Tho Kingdom of God."
The rabbi described the ancient cus
tcms cf the Hebrew .race and dwelt at
length upon the history of the people and
the persecutions which have been heaped
upon them by the races of the earth.
In brief he said:
• The highest and grfatest significance of Ju
daism ia the acknowledgment of the kingdom
of God. The new year to the Jew is a declara
tion and expression of his faith. In celebrat
ing this day the .Jew declares that God is su
preme sovereign of the universe, tho heaven
above and the earth below. He acknowledges
C!cd as the father, ruler end guiding power of
mail's destiny.
In that which is symbolized by the new
year rests the entire doctrine of Judaism. Th>s
Jew's btllet is in God. He denies the philos
ophy of the eternity of matter. He believes In
the design and purpose of the Supreme Being,
In fatherhood and brotherhood. He declares
his belief in the harmony of purpose of nature
and history.
In connection with the exercises an im
pressive musical service was given under
the direction of Miss Virgrinie de
Fremery.
The choir which furnished the music to
day was composed of: Sopranos, Miss
Mary C. Williams, Mrs. Carrie Brown
Dexter; altos. Mrs. Grace Carroll Elliott,
Miss Feldheim; tenors: E. D. Crandall,
Mr. Evans; bassos, Clement Rowlands,
John Williams.
This choir will be retained during the
holidays. Three days hence comes the
feast of guedaliah. when the orthodox
Jew abstains from food and water. Other
days of importance during the festival
season are the feast of the tabernacles
on the fifteenth day and the rejoicing of
the law on the twenty-first day.

The strikers on the California North

email river steamer came alongside the
wharf with a load of 700 sacks of wheat
intended for shipment to interior points
over the railroad. As soon as the strik
ers learned of the situation they waited
on the stevedores on the steamer and
after some argument got them to refuse
to unload the cargo. The affair was con
ducted in a very quiet manner.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 22.— Negotiations be
tween the officials of tho Great Northern
and the firemen and engineers are prac
tically at a standstill, as the officials of
tho road have denied the requests of the
men and rescinded grants made at pre
vious meetings. Grand Master Hanrahan
of the Locomotive Firemen and J. J.
Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of
Engineers, held a conference this after
noon with the railroad officials. The
meeting between the labor leaders and
the general manager and general super
intendent of the Great Northern did not
develop any marked change in the situa
tion. None of those taking part in the
negotiations would make any formal
statement as to the status of affairs fur
ther than to say that there would be a
resumption of negotiations to-morrow
morning. 1$ is understood, however, from
authoritative sources that the prospects
for a peaceful settlement are much bright
er to-night than they were considered be
fore this afternoon's conference. The ac
tion of the company officials in with
drawing their assent to the amendments
to the rules previously granted at the
request of the grievance committee an
gered tha men and some of them were
in favor of taking an immediate poll of
the locals on the auestion of a strike.
The presence of the grand officers, how
ever, served to relieve the tension and
negotiations were resumed, and it is said
a disposition is shown to reach a peaceful
compromise.
No detailed statement of what the men
ask could be obtained either from the
company officials or from the men them
selves. Their demands comprise, how
ever, both a new wage schedule and sev
eral changes in the working rules.
In conclusion, he writes that he hopes
to retain the confidence of his constituents
at the general election which "cannot be
far distant"
Regarding retaliation and fiscal free
dom, Elliot agrees with Premier Balfour's
pamphlet that the Government should be
free to consider cases as they arise on
their merits and take such action as it
considers right, subject to the approval of
Parliament.
LONDON, Sept. 22.— Premier Balfour Is
apparently meeting considerable difficulty
in the task of reconstructing his Cabinet.
It is said that Wyndham has been offered
the choice of several portfolios, but has
decided to remain Chief Secretary for
Ireland. ,
- Owing' to the decision that the Fifth
and Sixth Army Corps of War Secretary
Brodrick's scheme shall not be constitut
ed, because of the lack of necessary re
cruits, it is reported that General Hunter,
who was nominated for the command of
the Sixth Corps, Is to be transferred to
India, to command either the Bombay or
Madras district. This has led to renewed
rumors that General Hunter will succeed
Lord Kitchener as 'commander in chief
in India and that the latter will be called
home to succeed Brodrick as. Secretary of
War.
All this, however. Is merly speculation.
Much public feeling has been displayed
against appointing Brodrick to the India
office and it is believed the difficulty cen
ters in providing a Secretary for War
and a Secretary for India.
Arthur D. Elliot, who has just resigned
the Financial Secretaryship of the Treas
ury because of his disagreement with
Premier Balfour's finance views, writing
to one of his constituents in Durham
City, says he is in complete agreement
with the free trade views of ex-Chancel
lor of the Exchequer Ritchie, who found
it impossible to. hold office any longer in
a Government which is tending steadily
toward a policy of protection. He could
not remain in office, he says, without an
entire loss of self-respect. The time has
arrived, he continues, when the electors
must decide for or against the policy of
taxing imports of food which, though de
ferred for the moment, will be the ulti
mate issue.

Colonel Morley wa3 about fifty years of
age and had a wife and six children, one
of whom, a son, is attending college at
Chester, Pa. Morley came to Buena Vista
in 1849. slnee which time he has been
prominently identified with the smelter
and mining industries In the district.
From the position of the bodies when
found it appeared that Abrahamson had
been carrying Morley after he lost con
sciousness and had made a desperate
struggle to reach fresh air with his hu
man load. In all probability .Abrahamson
could have saved himself had ho not made
this heroic effort to rescue his companion.
BUENA VISTA, Colo., Sept. 22.— Colonel
B. F. Morley, manager of the Buena Vista
smelter and of the Mary Murphy mine
at Romley, and Adolph Abrahamson,
superintendent of the mine.- were killed
by foul air when making an inspection of
the mine workings last night. Their
bodies were recovered to-day.
It is supposed that the air In the mine
had been vitiated by powder gas. The
property is not operated at night and
there were no other men in the mine when
Morley and Abrahamson were making
their tour of inspection which resulted
fatally.

some spot upon the earth which we can

we are going in the end to possess it as
we did in the days of old.

Professor Magee was awakened at the
very darkest hour this morning by a
nole« in the yard just beneath his win
dow. Securing hla pistol, he hurried to
the window and looked down upon two
men sitting on the fence. The fence was
near a kitchen window and it was evident
the fellows were about to force their way
into the house. But they didn't get that
far. for Just then Professor Magee leveled
his pistol at them and called upon them
to explain their presence. The men re
plied that they had got into the wrong
place by mistake and without any unnec
essary waste of time slunk off into the
gloom.

PERSONAL MENTION.
Mrs. Crawley as Viola was fully as
fascinating as in the title role in "Every
man." Her resonant voice soeirhded to
good advantage In the difficult double
part of Viola and Catsario. Her counter
part, Sebastian, brother of Viola, was
cleverly acted by Mrs. C. Arthur Collins.
Ben Greet, however, was the favorite with
the audience. His portrayal of the pomp
ous conceit of Malvollo drew forth rounds
of merited applause. Scarcely second to
the hit made by Ben Greet was the suc
cess scored by Robert Smiley as Sir Toby
Belch.
Two scenes In the play stood out most
prominently for their eleven: execution.
The first was that in Olivia's home, when
Sir Tobv and Sir Andrew, deep in their
cups, disturbed the household and brought
forth Malvollo clad in night attire. The
second was at the gathering of the mirth
ful conspirators after the ruse with the
forged letter had been successfully work
ed on Malvollo. The Joy and laughter
of the players in the latter scene proved
so contagious that the laughter and ap
plause of the audience quite drowned the
mock mirth of the actors. The cast of
characters was as follows:
Duke Orslne, John Sayer Crawley: Sebastian.
Beatrice "Whitney; Antonio, Cllve- Currlo; Val
entine. Mildred Jones; Curao. Cecilia Griffith:
Blr Toby Belch. Robert Smiley; Sir Andrew
Agruecheek, Robert Halrord Forster: Malvollo.
Ben Greet; Fabian, C. Arthur Collins; Feste,
a clown. Dallas Anderson; a priest, 8. H.
Goodwyn; Olivia. Alys Rees; Viola. Constance
Crawley; Maria. Margaret Bucklln.
At the completion of the play the audi
ence rose and applauded continuously un
til the players reappeared. Ben Greet in
thanking the assemblage said:
"I want to thank you heartily on be
half of myself, my company and Mr.
Frohman for the royal welcome extended
us, and I commend Stanford University
in its endeavor to foster the drama."
This was the first production on tne
coast of "Twelfth Night" by ths Proh
man company. "Twelfth Night" was
given In Its entirety as written by Shake
speare, and the Idea of the Elizabethan
stage was carried out to the letter. The
action was continuous; at no time did
the curtain intervene to show the change
of scene. The orchestra, dressed In
Elizabethan costumes, and stationed In
tho balcony, filled In the breaks ta the
action with music in keeping with tho
staging of the play.
The stage Itself appeared the same in
the foreground as In "Everyman," but In
the back tapestries of ancient pattern
supplanted the monastery walls used in
the morality play. Two "Beef-eaters." as
they are called, dressed in red and carry
ing battle-axes, stood guard at the end
of tho stage.
STAFFORD UNIVERSITY. Sept. 72.—
In striking contrast to the solemnity of
laA night's production of "Everyman" by
Ben Greet's company was the lightness of
"Twelfth Night," presented by the tame
players in Assembly Hall to-night.
Though the attendance was perhaps
smaller than at tho presentation of
"Everyman," yet the reception accorded
"Twelfth Night" was fully as enthusias
tic as that given to the morality play and
was evidenced by the full measure of
laughter and applause that the comedy
drew forth.
