this camp Is about a quarter of a mil-

conveniences of modern life, Includ-
ing 21 postofflces, 10 telegraph offices
and even electric light, railways, motor

gathered for the durbar have been
amusing themselves for several days
with polo, hockey and military tourna-

Displays of Jewels Wonderful.

more magnificent than those she wore

among her new ornaments being a

She was garbed In the white and gold

Most spectacular was the grand re-

troops, and they were garbed in the

Officers Believe the Two Men Were
Implicated in the Killing of Otto
Rich, a Ford County
Farmer. /
Topeka, Dec. 11—Sheriff C. E. Arga-
bright of Dodge City, and H. C. Erics-
son, a detective employed by Gov.
Stubbs, have gone to Quincy, 111., with
extradition papers for John Heiland.
State officials expect to clear up the
mystery of the disappearance of Otto
Rich, a young farmer of Ford county,
in December, 1910.
Heiland will be taken to Ford coun-
ty to answer to a charge of perjury.
His brother, Crls Heiland, is already
held at Dodge City on a similar
charge. Both are believed by the of-
ficers to have been accessory to the
murder of Rich.
Rich lived on a farm of 160 acres
near Dodge City. He had no family.
He disappeared December 15, 1910.
Rich had sold his farm to Chris
Heiland for an agreed price of $7,000,
$1,000 being paid down.
An administrator was appointed in
the probate court to look after Rich s
property. Chris Heiland set up a
claim to the administrator that he
had paid Rich the balance of the
purchase price of his farm before
Rich’s disappearance. He said he
had borrowed the money from his
brother John. John corroborated this
statement, saying that he had just
sold an unincumbered quarter section
of land in Illinois. It has been learn-
ed that John Heiland never owned the
land in Illinois.
The perjury charges against the
Heiiands grow out of their conflicting
statements. Officers believe the Hei-
iands knew Rich was dead or they
would not have dared set up a claim
that he had been paid.

Indianapolis, Dec. 9.—The complete
confession of Ortie McManigal to De-
tective Burns, made at the time of the
arrest of himself and James B. Mc-
Namara, is given to the public for the
first time. It deals with details of
the ''jobs” carried out under John J.
McNamara's direction, giving dates,
purchases of dynamite, and times of
explosions.
McManigal began working with the _________
McNamaras in June, 1907, and com- | conveyed

whose name he does not give because
he is not under arrest.
This man kept back part of the

The labor leaders assert

The statement Is signed by every
member of the McNamara committee

Mr. Ryan was called back to Indiuuup-

what continent he hud to make, he
suld:
“Prof. Haworth is a gootl man and
ought to know whut he la talking
about. 1 have seen his report only
as given In the dally papers.
"But Prof. Haworth has omitted from
consideration entirely some excellent
new fields. For instance, he makes no
mention of the 15.00o.000 foot, gasser

of harmony between these figures.

this discovery McManigal dealt with
John J. McNamara personally, coming
to this city frequently for consulta-

After referring to his dynamiting of
bridges and other structures and find-

working was keeping part of his pay,
McManigal reported it to John J. Mc-

LEADING BUSINESS MEN MEET
Representatives From All Parts of the
Country Gather in Chicago to
Consider Legislation,
Chicago, Dec. 11—Leaders of nation-
al fame in industrial, commercial and
financial fields, representing all parts
of the country, gathered in the Con-
gress hotel here today for the open-
ing of a great business congress which
will continue through tomorrow and
Wednesday. The meeting is being
held under the auspices of the Nation-
al Business League of America and
the president df that organization,
George W. Sheldon, called the con-
gress to order. It has for its avowed
purpose concentration of public opin-
ion so as to secure unity of action
along rational lines promotive of leg-
islation for the public good, and the
five planks that probably will be
placed in the business men’s platform
are:
Creation of an American merchant
marine.
Promotion of American foreign
commerce.
Pressing needs of currency legisla-
tion.
Permanent exposition of American'
products in Paris.
Transportation, including railroads
waterways and wagonways.
The leading speakers today werf|»l ID Dnfl

Insofar as we have the right to
speak in the name of organized labor,
we welcome any Investigation which
either federal or state courts may
undertake. The session of the con-
ventions of the American Federation
of Labor are held with open doors
that all may see and hear what Is be-
ing said and done. The books, ac-
counts and correspondence of the fed-
eration are open to any competent
authority who may desire to make a
study or an Investigation of them.
“The men of organized labor, In
common with all our people," the
committee affirms, “are grieved be-
yond expression In words at the loss
of life and the destruction of prop-
erty in the case under discussion and
others ■which have occurred. The
lesson this grave crime teaches, how-
ever, will have its salutary effect. It
will demonstrate now more than ever
the inhumanity, as well as the futility
of resorting to violence in the effort
to right wrongs or to attain rights.”
“Therefore, quite apart from the
spirit of humanitarianism and justice
which prompts the activities of the
organized labor movement, polity and
Hopes for success forbid the resort to
violence. The labor movement and
its men are loyal Americans and seek
to obtain the abolition of xvrongs and
the attainment of their rights within
the law."
The statement is signed by Samuel
Gompers, president of the federation,
and chairman of the committee;
Frank Morrison, secretary of the fed-
eration, and six of the seven remain-
ing members of the committee..
FIRST STEP IN CEMENT MERGER
lola Company lasuea Two Million
Dollars in Bonds Against All
Its Properties.
Iola, Kan., Dec. 11.—The Iola Port-
land Cement company has issued $2,-
000,000 in bonds to be “applied for
such purposes as the board of direc-
tors may determine.” The Common-
wealth Trust company of St. Louis Is
made trustee.
To secure the payment of the bonds
a mortgage Is given on all the pro-
perty of the Iola Portland, Including
the factory In Bassett, a suberb of
Iola; the company dam, quarry, gas
leases and wells, pipe lines, water
station, town lots, unplatted portion
of the town of Basset and several
tracts of gypsum lands in Oklahoma.
Further security for the payment of
the obligation Is given in the form of
bonds of the Texas Portland Cement
company of Dallas, Tex., In the sum
of $1,354,000.
The Texas plant represents the sur-
plus earnings of the Iola company,
and when the Texas company took
over the mills issued bonds to the Iola
company.
It is believed that the bond issue
is a preliminary step in the proposed
cement merger. The plant is now
running at full blast.

Los Angeles, Dec. 11.—The compar-

be hauled by freight from a long

Angeles to look to their neighboring
oil fields for their fuel supply. More
homes, industrial institutions and
public buildings in Los Angeles are
being heated by oil fires than by any
other form of fuel. Next to oil comes
wood, and coal takes third place.

hundred and fifty farmers’ institutes
will have delegations at the annual
meeting for farmers at the state agri-
cultural college this year. This meet-
ing will begin the morning after
Christmas. Every year the farmers
attend in large numbers, but the ar-
rangements indicate that this year
the crowd will be larger than ever.
A notable feature of the annual in-
stitutes this year will be in the fact
that every speaker will be a Kansas
man or Kansas woman. The reason
for this Is in President Waters’ de-
termination to have Kansas matters
discussed by Kansas people, to en-
courage, as the college has always in
the past, the conserving of Kansas
resources without intervention from
the outside to the extent of tiring the
farmers. President Waters believes
the college and the 371 farmers' in-
stitutes of the state are competent U»
