ALLEGE FRAUD IN CASUALTY WRECK

Stockholders of Defunct Company at Lafayette Demand Money Back From Responsibles.

Stockholders of the defunct Columbia Casualty company of Lafayette held an indignation meeting in that city Wednesday and demanded that they either receive their money back or that they will proceed at once to the prosecution of Edward J. Tousey and Gerry Haynes, who are alleged to be responsible for the wrecking of the company and the defrauding of the stockholders. The receiver for the company is James Bingham, of Indianapolis, who has many evidences of fraud. The two men bought real estate as officials of the company for $33,000 and sold it to the company for SBO,OOO, using the company's funds to make themselves $43,000. Haynes is now in Texas and Tousey can not be lo*cated, and thus the possibility of recovery is small. Dr. M. G. Traugh, formerly of Remington and Goodland, was one of the promoters of the company. He recently left Lafayette and returned to Arizona; .

John H. Sparks World’s Famous Shows and Trained Animal Exhibition Coming Soon.

So familiar has the public become with the fact of the enormous growth attained each year by the John H. Sparks Shows that the return of this greatest of American shows is awaited with much interest, knowing full well that there is always something new to be seen each visit.

In fact, words fail to do justice to this wonderful aggregation of arenic celebrities, hippodrome spectacles and animal features. This seasoxi they have come together from all corners of the earth to make this the most complete exhibition of its kind ever attempted. Every day at 12 o’clock noon the

grandest, rarest and most complete free street pageant ever seen—a fortune invested in wardrobe, trappings, and accessories—will pass through the principal business streets, and cages and tableaux in endless variety, gorgeous floats, and fierce wild animals, ponderous elephants and stately camels will swing past to the martial music of four brass bands, musical, wagons and the soul calliope. Notwithstanding the previous enlargements the claim is made that the additions that have been added to the show for this season are far greater than ever before attempted and make this beyond all doubt the most noteworthy amu sem en t achievement of the century, keeping in mind the three chief watchwords —magnitude, excellence and exclusiveness. . \ The Sparks Shows will exhibit in Rensselaer, Wednesday, May 21..

Persons knowing themselves indebted to me are requested to settle by cash or note by July 1. I. M. WASHBURN.

C. G. Spitler and Moses Leopold are expecting to go to Goodland tomorrow, where a successful association has been in existence for some time, to get pointers to use in the formation of a company here. If started, the company will be a mutual one and the money will be loaned at rates fair to both the in*vestor and borrower. - Owing to the present demand for building purposes, there will be a scramble for the money as fast as paid in, and it will begin drawing interest at once.

Lafayette Journal. When Robert Burton, who has charge of the animals at Columbian park, visited the enclosure occupied by the kangaroos Wednesday morning at 6:30 o’clock, he fpund the female kangaroo dead and the male kangaroo dying. The male lived half an hour after Mr. Burton entered the enclosure. Two dogs got into the enclosure some time Tuesday night and attacked the kangaroos. The Australian animals are small and harmless and proved easy prey for the sheepkilling dogs. The kangaroos were purchased about a month ago to replace the ones that died at the Ninth street engine house last winter and cost $l2O. They were purchased from Importer Ruhe in New York City, and another pair has been ordered by the city.

The Cebohd Dramatic Company, which will present the comedy drama “Merely a Scrap of Paper,” here Saturday niglit,' has appeared several times with the offering, and has played to enthusiastic houses at each performance. The first, given before students of Purdue University, from whose ranks the members of the company are drawn, was successful in every way, and the favorable comment led the players’*to organize and present the play in Lafayette. Here the reception was even more encouraging, and the press was unanimous in praising the production. “The best of its kind seen here in a long time”—The Journal said. “Worthy of representing the University anywhere”—was the verdict of the Exponent. “A well acted and lively playlet”—according to the Leader. Customs appraisers are wondering what becomes of the ever-in-creasing wealth of gems brought to this country. Every month marks a new record, with a remarkable total of $16,000,000 given as the value of gems that have passed through the New York customs house since the first of the year. Alarm over the proposed increase in the tariff is believed to have had some Influence among importers.

BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION PROBABLE

Talk of Building and Loan Association Soon £o Develop Into Action. There has been strong talk the past few weeks of forming a building and Iqan Company in Rensselaer, as the time how seems ripe for such an institution. The Rensselaer Building and Loan Company, organized here about twenty years ago, tfas a great success and many with small means secured homes without much effort that would still be renters but for the formation of that company. Over $400,000 was handled" by this company without a single loss. During the latter days of the company the demand for money for building purposes ceased and money was loaned to outsiders on a straight per cent basis to become due at the date for the Anal winding up of the company. •This spring many want to build homes in Rensselaer, but are unable to do so for lack W ready money. A quiet canvass has been made among, the citizens and all seem unanimously in favor of such an association.

JOHNSON WILL SIGN ALLEN LAND MEASURE

Governor of California Sets Forth Position in Able Message to Secretary Bryan. i Governor Hiram Johnson, in a message to Secretary of State William J. Bryan, announces his intention of signing the anti-alien land ownership measure, recently passed in California, and the provisions of which have me’t federal opposition because of conflict with the United States treaty with Japan, at Which country the law seems to be directed. Secretary Bryan, at the instance of President Wilson, made a trip to' California and set forth the federal objections to the measure, and some slight modifications of the wording resulted. Mr. Bryan asked that Governor Johnson withhold his approval -of the bill until his return to Washington and stated that he would then send a method dealing with the subject. This was done, but it did not influence the action in California, and Governor Johnson states that he will sign the bill, which passed both houses of the-California legislature by almost unanimous vote. The message of Governor Johnson shows that he has given deep study to the situation from a diplomatic standpoint, as well as from the view point of California’s st*te right, and the interest of the people whose chief executive he is. It states that the people of the east have no idea how important the question is to California, where the Jap has become so numerous and where his methods of living have made the American standards impossible. No extensive explanation along this line is made in the message, and indeed none is necessary. That the situation is menacing is proven by the general opposition to Japs in California. The message takes up the question from a diplomatic view point, and points out that the constitution of California in 1879 made the distinction against the Japs and there had never been a protest since that time. The message accuses the national government with having overlooked similar legislation in other states and makes quite an issue of the California law, where there is much more need of it. Governor Johnson appeals to the people of the country to be fair in their judgment and to grant that California is passing the bill and he is signing it because the problem is a grave one to the people he represents.

The United States k in rather a queer, position by reason of the passage of the bill, for diplomatically Secretary Bryan and President Wilson must settle the question With Japan and meet its protest, either by continuing against California or now championing the action of that state. While the American people will certainly favor close adherence to our national treaties, they can not help but realize that the nation as a whole should not stand against one of its states and in favor of a foreign nation, when the. treaty the nation had passed was in its wording an insult to the state now seeking to defend itself.

Governor Johnson’s message was in every way an able paper, characterized with fairness and honest explanation that stands out far and above the 'essentially important diplomatic substantiation of the action, and we believe at this writing that he has overshadowed the secretary of state, the president and whatever advisers they may have had and that deep in the breast of every person who has followed t lie discussion there is a hope that the position of California, its legislature and its chief executive is already ratified.
