OFFERED STOCK FOR DEBTS. The first count in the indictment recited that C. E. Mitchell, as president, general manager and principal stockholder in the Mitchell Dry Goods pany, inereased the capital stock of the corporation from $150,000 to million dollars and offered the preferred stock for sale to the public when the firm was insolvent and in a failing condition. He sent a letter to the Kalamazoo Corset Company in Kalamazoo, it is said, asking that firm to take $1,000 preferred stock in addition to the $2,000 in stock it already held, as part payment for a debt the dry goods company owed the corset company for merchandise.

The indictment recited that one-half of the capital stock in the dry goods company was not paid at the time the preferred stock was offered for sale. It said that fraud was practiced in manipulating the books of the firm to show that a half of the capital stock was paid and to show that the concern was solvent when, as a matter of fact, it was in a failing condition. The second count recited that Mitchell sent a letter to 0. V.

Swofford Dry Goods Company, J. J. Swofford brokers, and J. J. Swofford, personally.

The American National Bank of Mount Carmel, was used, so the indictment said, in the check "kiting" Indictment also recited that Mitchell organized the Columbia Investment Company and used it as a device to juggle assets and liabilities of the Mitchell Dry Goods Company, thus hiding its true financial condition.

3 m. 12 .47 4 p. 54 "The prediction for Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska is 'fair and warmer tonight and Sunday," said Colonel Connor this morning. "Then it's to the great out doors for Kansas Citians tomorrow?" he was asked. "If Kansas City chooses, Certain it is that the weather won't interfere." "Certain, did you say?" "Well, there's to be a slight breeze tomorrow, but it won't be annoying." TWELFTH STREET A DETAIL.

An essential part of the business-like settleme.it of the Twelfth Street Viaduct matter, which Mayor Brown's administration has achieved with neatness and dispatch, is a clear understanding that this action does not in any way relieve the Metropolitan Street Railway Company of any other of its obligations to the city expressed or implied in its acceptance of a practical monopoly of the city's transportation service. This is a great and growing city and while the need of an improved way to the bottoms and to the great Kansas City in Kansas at Twelfth Street is urgent, that improvement is by no means so important as to displace or unreasonably postpone other extensions and other projects for facilitating transportation between parts of the city. The Twelfth Street enterprise was given extraordinary prominence in the public mind because of the tricky and unfair propositions that were earlier offered by the street railway company, in which the whole transportation future of the city was made to rest upon this single work. The public, it will 1 be remembered, declared overwhelmingly against that attempt to treat a single street car line as the vital concern of the whole town. Doubtless it will soon become evident that the Twelfth Street viaduct, valuable and busy as it is certain to be, will be far from a sufficient solution of even the one problem of ample access to the constantly developing West Bottoms from the rapidly growing uptown city.

Kansas City must be free to spread and develop without restriction by insufficient transportation. There must be no understanding that the Twelfth Street adjustment means more than the necessary and practical modification of one detail of a vast system. CHOSE A BABY "SIGHT UNABEN. And MrN. Robert Roloff Was Delighted With the Prize She Drew.

Without children in their own home, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Roloff of Brookfield, last week chose a baby, "sight unseen," from the foundling home of the Sisters of Charity New York. Mrs. Roloff met the baby this morning at the Union Depot and was overjoyed with the selection, "The only stipulation," she explained, "was that it should have blue eyes and dark hair.

I expected a nice baby and I got this little jewel," and she hugged it tightly to her bosom. "My only fear was that it would cry. Instead the child seems glad to have found me and I am more than glad to have her." The baby is a 3-year-old girl. It is one of forty-eight children sent West from the New York institution. The child was brought here by a nurse who is taking two other children to Webb City, Mo.

The thirty-nine other children will go to Nevada, where homes have been found for them. Robert Roloff, the new foster father, is an engineer on the Burlington railroad. SHOWER KISSES ON BERNHARDT. Fifty Suffragists Met the French Actress as She Landed In New York. NEW YORK, Oct.

"Sheriff Bob" Chanler 1s playing Haroun al Raschid. He appears at the studios and apartments of his friends in town at midnight, at 6 in the morning, suddenly and unannounced, then rushes to Henry Clews, studio at Newport, to his brother's house in Tuxedo, back to his studio-mate, Mr. Christian, in the Fifth Avenue Arcade all the time being incognito, and elusive to the various process servers in the several suits involving rent, tailor's bills, dinner accounts, sale of real estete, claims of former wife and of his children, not. to mention a prenuptial contract made with Cavalieri.

Thompson, the referee, who would take testimony as to Sheriff Bob's restdence, has yet no idea where he will be able to discover Mr. Chanler.

What 1s on his mind is the Dolgorouki business." Cavallert is expected to arrive in December, also "on Alaska Service Hard.

Pursuing criminals in country wider even than the bailiwick of the Canadian mounted police, sailing uncharted Arctic seas, capturing Japanese seal smugglers, studying ethnological and geographical conditions among unnamed races and unmapped countries, their lives are filled with the romance and the privations, the mystery and the revelations of the true pioneer.

They had only twenty-five min- KANSAS CITY, TODAY. utes left in which to start. The entries closed at 3:30 o'clock. Hamilton had trouble with his engine and did not get started until after 3:30. Drexel made seven laps and came down, leaving only Moissant to compete for the Americans.

Moissant made poorer time than Drexel and it was officially announced that Grahame-White had won. LEBLANC'S MACHINE CUT IN TWO. LeBlane, the champion of the French team, was tossed from his course in: a gust of wind, cut his machine in two against a telegraph pole and was hurled to the ground. Both Brooking and LeBlanc were rushed to the field hospital, but a reassuring statement as to their condition was given out by the management. Latham in his 100-horsepower Antoinette, got such a fright when the wind almost blew him into the crowd that he quit precipitately in the fifteenth I round.

The tips of his great wings came not ten feet from the heads of the people who lined the turn into the far stretch. As the bucking aeroplane darted toward them a cry of terror went up, men ran and women burrowed down into the bodies of their automobiles in which they had been sitting muffled in furs. BROOKINS DOWN WITH A CRASH. BE Brooking banged down in front of the grandstand with a crash that could be heard half a mile away. He had ly flown one hundred feet when he lost control of his machine and it was wrecked.

Brooking was injured, but no bones were broken. Ogilvie, the second member of the English team to start, was early out of the race. He came down to repair his ignition, and finally finished the course in 2:06:36 3-5. LATHAM NEARLY WRECKED. Latham dipped and almost went into the clubhouse on his fifteenth lap.

He saved himself by wonderful skill and, passing the start, turned from the course and went to hangar. Claude White of the English team covered the course of 62.1 miles, or twenty times around the Belmont course in 1 hour 1 minute and 4.3 seconds. TWO FLYING FOR ALTITUDE. Undismayed by the accident to their teammate, Brookins, those two Indefatigable rivals, Hoxsey and Johnstone of the Wright camp, took the air at 2 o'clock in another of their daily duels for altitude. Hoxsey was up first at 1:55, and Johnstone followed him fitteen minutes later.

The wind was still blowing twenty miles an hour, and they had difficulty in making headway against It. Each hour added to the crowd, which at 2 o'clock was the largest of the meet. At 2:30 o'clock Johnstone and Hoxsey both began to come down. Johnstone shot a thrill through the crowd when he began to make beam end turns at a height of a thousand feet, and then pointed almost vertically downward. "Oh! He's falling," came the cry, but Johnstone had perfect control.

He was only giving an exhibition of what could be done against a 20-mile gale..
