Wilt LEARN THE TRUTH Goodwin Investigation is Ordered. Three Special Members of Committee. MEETING SET FOR TODAY Police Committee Will Air Big Scandal In meantime Chief Holds His Job. Mayor Davis last night appointed Cou-cilmen S. A.

Swendson. F. E. Nipps and S. S.

Rice as the three additional members of the police committee to investigate the aharges against Chief of Police Goodwin. This action was taken in accordance with the request preferred to the council by Chief Goodwin. The committee, composed of the three councilmenr ncmed and C. W. Horn and Joseph Griley, the two members of the regular police committee who are in the city, will hold a meeting In the committee room at the city building at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.

At this time all the people connected with the scandal will ap-poar and the charge against the chief of police will be thoroughly threshed out. When the letter from Chief Goodwin, requesting that an Immediate investigation be held, was read last night Mayor lavis announced that he would appoint three members of the council to serve on the investigating committee in addition to the regular members of the police committee. "This is a matter you are all interested said Mayor Davis, after the communication had been, read. "For this reason I propose, unless there Is some serious objection, to appoint three members to assist the two members of the police committee who are in the city in making an Investigation of this matter. I will make the appointment later in the evening and I want the investigation made at once." NIPPS WANTED TO KNOW.

"What Is it proposed to accomplish by this investigation?" asked Councilman Nipps. "I want to get at the true inwardness of the responded Mayor Davis. "Do you propose to act upon the findings of the committee?" "Yes, sir, I certainly said the mayor. Chief of Police Goodwin, last night made the following statement, which is substantiated by County Attorney Hungate, Mabel Scott. Mrs.

Main and Sheriff Lucas. He said: "I was sitting in front of ho police station with White and a number of other men when two girls came by und spoke to White. White got up and followed them. In a short time he re-1 turned, coming through the back door of the station. He indicated to me that he wanted to speak to me privately.

1 got up and he lead the way out the door on 'Fifth street, lis said on the way: 'There is a party out here that can. tell you aoout that affair at the Chesterfield. We walked to the alley back of the jail barn and went north to Fourth street. The girls were waiting there. White introduced me to Miss Scott and remarked that fche was the person who could give me the information about an affair that happened a few nights before.

I asked her what it was that she had to tell me. She seemed surprised and said that she had nothing to tell me. "After White had introduced us he and the Main girl immediately withdrew out of hearing. They both seemed very keen to go. As soon as I learned that Miss Scott had nothing to tell me, I turned around to where I thought White wan standing.

He and Miss Main were gone. I think now that the two wanted to shake1 Mlss Scott and that White tricked me into helping them. 1 called for White and had Miss Scott whistle for Miss Main, but we got no answer, so I told Miss Scott to go to the home of Miss Main and see if she had gone home. I thought that White had acted strangely and Miss Scott said that she believed that he had been drinking, and I arrived at the same conclusion. After Miss Scott left I went around the block and up to where White on West Fourth street, looking for him." White has made a statement, in which lie places a large share of blame on Chief tloodwin.

His statement is not corroborated by those who were involved in the affair. Chief Goodwin says that the morning after the affair White called him into his room and made a clan breast of everything, and wept and promised to never touch liquor again. Chief Goodwin says that when he arrived at White's home that Mrs. White met him and asked him where W'hlte was. She etntcd that he was drinking and that she wished Chief Goodwin would talk to him.

The two went to the police station, which is onlv a half block away, and there met Mrs. Mains Rnd Miss Scott. Chief Goodwin went to hi office and began to call iin the restaurants in the city, asking for White. While he was doing this the- three women were looking for White and Miss Main. The two parties met in the alley bTck of the barn at the police station.

Yesterday Chief Goodwin sent the fol- lowing letter to Mayor Davis: Mayor Dnvis. Topeka. "Dear Sir: My name has been men- HAS THE POWER To Assist in Enforcins Prohibitory Law In Kansas, Says Attorney A. L. H.

Street. AID THE STATE OFFICERS The Revenue Department Would be Active Prosecuting Violators of the State Law. The suggestion of A. II. Street of Fort Scott that the federal govern-.

ment issue licenses to sell liquor In Kansas only to those entitled under th prohibitory law to sell liquors, created i much discussion among the lawyers ot the state and it is the general opin ion that if euch a plan was carried out It would be a great aid toward the enforcement ot the prohibitory law. Judge T. F. Garver. Assistant Attor ney General fo Shawnee county, favors the plan suggested by Mr.

Street and he believes that a law should bs enacted by Congress. Mr. Street's Ideas concerning th plan are given in the following statement, written for the Capital: "I believe a solution of the prob lems incident to the enforcement of the prohibitory law lies in th hands of Congress, and that Congress owe a duty to the constituent states of the Union to act. An amendment to the federal statutes, prohibtlng the issuance of licenses to persons engaging in the sale of intoxicants contrary to the laws of the several states and providing for the revocation of any licenses where the holder violates any such laws, would put an end to the serious questions attending th enforcement of our l3w. It might, also, be made available to enforce Sunday closing and other regulations In high license states.

"The Supreme court of the UnlteA States has decided, that our state government acts within Its proper sphere in prohibiting the liquor, traffic, and yet Congress authorizes direct viola-' tkm of the law. The plan I have suggested to Governor Hocli is not a new one, and Congress has considered it before, since the repeal of the pas-, sage of the revenue law In 1862. I am not aware that anyone denies the effectiveness of the plan. If It can carried out. "It Is asserted by some, however, that Congress has not the constitutional right to enact such a law, but the provision of the constitution that would be contravened is not pointed out.

as far as I can learn. It occurs to me that under a question of constitutionality the law would be analogous to the federal statute which, provides that national banks may hot charge a greater rate of Interest than Is allowed by the laws of the state In which the bank is located. "That Congress has already considered the measure and refused to pass It It no argument against presenting It again. IC seems from all precedents Lb at it la not respectable for Congress to pass a bill until the bill ha been killed a few times. I do not deem the plan open to the objection mad that it would render lt enforcement complicated.

The federal license would authorize th sal of Intoxicants In accordance with the state laws, and violations could be as clearly detected and punished as under exlstlnc laws. "I believe that on the recommendation! of Governor Hoch, President KooseveiC will ask favorable action by Congress ou the subject. But even If the desired federal legislation can not tie obtained. I am of the opinion the ynited State government can be induced to require its Internal revenue officers to offer every facility -they can to the state officers In the way of giving Information and testimony concerning the Issuance of licenses In thl district; and that when It Is shown to President lloosevelt that his appointee are obstructing the enforcement of our state law. he will bring them to time.

For the power to nullify legislation enacted within the legitimate province of stat government has not yet bn surrender to th federsl governmw.t. 'Teahs of Inactivity in the enforcement of the prohibitory law have created an Idea that it can not enforced. Hut the pub-lie sentiment developed by Governor Hoch's determination that all of the law of this state shall be otxryed. makes the present time an opporture one. in whirl to strike every blow that can be struck for law enforcement." Judge 8.

H. Allen, a Justtf of the Supreme court, gives as Ms opinion that if the federal government would ifue government licenses to sell liquor In Kansas only to person authorised by th stile laws to sell liquor, that It would result in a better enforcement of th pro- hlMtory law.

Noted Kidnaper is Arrested at Last. Captured at Bntte, Mont by Local Polid ADMITS HIS IDENTITY Outlaw Curses bitterly Because of Arrest, He Will Return Without Requisition. Butte, Oct. 2.

Pat Crowe, wanted by the Omaha police for the kidnaping of the son of the millionaire packer, Cudahy, in 1900, was arrested in this city tonight. Crowe's Identification has been made complete, through photographs sent to the authorities by the Omaha officers. Crowe acknowledged he was the fugitive, becoming alarmed when he feared the authorities were going to shoot him. Captain of Police W. F.

McGrath and Detective Mclnerney made the arrest, placing the muzzles of their revolvers against his stomach as he emerged from a saloon In the tenderloin section of the city. Crowe declared he would return to Omaha without requisition papers. He cursed bitterly at hLs arrest, expressing chagrin at his apprehension in a town the size of Butte, where he, as he said, had traveled the world over and evaded capture in all the large cities. Crowe has two brothers in Montana, one living in Butte and the other at Great Falls. A friend of Crowe's tipped the looal police off to Crowe's presence In this city and his arrest followed after photographs of the fugitive had been secured from Omaha.

JUDGE EANNEHY KNOK IN JOINT CASES AND LOADS OF BAR FIXTURES I Are Being Heaped Up at Independence is Great Haste by Owners. Special to the Capital. Independence, Oct. 2. Judge Flanneliy gave the jointists of this county a knockoujt blow this morning, when he sustained a motion holding in contempt all those concerned In replevining bar fixtures and goods 6elzed by the sheriff on search and seizure warrants.

He gave all concerned two days in which to dismiss all replevin suits and bring in the goods and fixtures which the sheriff formerly siezed, or take the consequences. Today a half dozen loads of bar fixtures were brought up from Coffeyville and Caney, some of them being very fine. As the county attorney has almost a cinch on all liquor cases now in court, thi stuff Is bound to be destroyed. Heretofore, especially In Coffeyville, when a joint wag raided and the stmt seized it would be replevined through the coroner. The search and seizure law having been held good and the right to replevin denied, the jointist is caught where the hair is short and will probably have to obey the law.

The jointists of this county are more thoroughly demoralized than they ever were sfcnce the prohibitory law went Into effect. P. C. Dooley and J. K.

Keith of Coffeyville, both formerly members of the Legislature, are held as technically In contempt, they having brought the replevin proceedings. BIGAMIST DENOUNCED BY JUDGE New York. Oct. 2. Frederick E.

Carle-ton, who was convicted of three charges of bigamy and one of grand larceny in Brooklyn, was today sentenced to an ag gregate term of nineteen year In state prison. On the nrst inaicimeni, inai oi marrying Mary Gorman while his first wife was alive, sentence was suspended. Kor marrying "Mary Smith, while he had another wife living, a sentence of five years was imposed, and for bigamy in marrying L.ulu Kettering of Rochester, a sentence of four years was given. On the charge of grand larceny in drugging and robbing Henry Scnauo. a machinist, in the United State navy.

Carleton was sentenced to ten years. Carleton 's counsel made a plea for leniency because of Carleton's ill health and said a long sentence would mean practically a life sentence. Judge Aspinwall was most bitter In his denunciation of the crimes and said he was convinced that the prisoner attempted murder when he robbed Schaub. Continuing Judge Aspinwall said; "You are at heart, a villain, a murderer, a swindler and a thief, and I am sorry that I can not send 'you to the electric chair. "Just remember that your mother was a woman, but you played with the love of women, and when you were through with them you turned them out into the world with their shame upon them.

You are one of the most dangerous men In the country." LACGRTD IX TVOMAJPS FACE. As he left the court room after this denunciation Carlton was met by a young woman who called him by name and began to weep, exclaiming: "Ynat the judge said was all true. Carleton launghed in the young woman's face and passed on. When outside the building he was mobbed by a 'crowd of men. many of whom had once been his neighbors, but who then tried to strike him.

The mob numbered 500 and the dep--uties who guarded Carleton, being handcuffed to him. had great difficulty in saving him from serious injury. They ran with th prisoner to a treet car and In this manner escapedfronj the mob. Chicago, 111., Oct. 2.

"Let me give thanks in the presence of all the people for a wonderful personal deliverance. Smitten down last Lord's day night with what seemed to be the hand of death, we have up out of the valley of the shadow tof death and seem to be stronger for the trial through which we have passed.

Violations of the prohibitory law and suits growing out of the oil and gas business has piled up the docket of the district court of this county to an enormous height and when Judge Flanneliy opened the regular October term this morning he found the heaviest docket in the history of Montgomery county. The bar docket shows that 79 attorneys are required to handle the 343 civil and 48 criminal cases. Of these followers of Blackstone about 40 are residents of this county, the balance being Owing to the vast volume of business Judge Flanneliy gave notice that the usual practice of dismissing the jury on Friday until Monday would not hold this term. He also warned attorneys that to facilitate the work they must be ready, when their cases are called. As usual a large number of divorce cases are to be tried, some of them of a sensational nature.

2. -An attempt to assassinate President Palma by drowning was made several days ago. Details of the plot came out only last night and then by A newspaper correspondent made inquiries as to why the presiiont was not using his special car to travel to and from Havana as has been his custom, and was Informed that recently wedges had been found driven into a bridge over which he passed. The wedges were so arranged that had his car struck them at its usual speed it would have been thrown into a river.

The danger was not recognized until afterward. Since that time President Palma has been driving the seven miles to his home, always accompanied by secret service police. President Palma will not leave his summer home for several days. The recent elections in Cuba have been accompanied by much fighting and by many threats. The opposition to Senor Palma.

San Francisco, Oct. 2. Several of the most powerful pumps to be obtained in the vicinity have been taken to.Almeda. They will be used in a final attempt to lighten the vessel that may be floated at the next high. The general impression among, those best informed, however, is that the steamer can not be saved.

Expert divers discovertd that the vessel's plates have been torn away In many places and that it will be Impossible for the pumps to overcome the inflow of water. The gravest in-Jury sustained by the Almeda was at th point where she struck the rocks. Since then the tides have redoubled thQ strain upon her plates and torn her bottom hopelessly, so that the engines are at last engulfed and the chances of rescue are materially lessened. It is the opinion of the experts who have examined the wreck that the Almeda will go to pieces in a short time.

The freight that is now being salvaged is for the most part undamaged, the forward hold has held clean from water thus far and the underwriters will be able to record a substantial saving: from this point.
