ADAMS PICKED AS SLAYER
Young Man Arretted Here Identified
by Kansas Cityan.
SAID TO HAVE SLAIN SPANGLES
He and Karl Brown Saanects li
Holdup. In Oaiahn and Klw
vlll aad Wanted by Deleaa
tlon from flatter City
Detective Wilson, 8. W. Rpangler, A.
Ackerman, Cash Welsh, Joseph Shannon,
Norman Woodson and Oerge H. Mc
Crary, all of Kansas City, are In the
city for the purpose of identifying John
Adams and Karl Brown, two young men
now under the bonds of the district court
of Douglas county, on the charge of
robbery.
Scarcely had the men seen the prisoners
than Mr. Ackerman picked out Adams and
Identified him as being the man who fired
the shot that Instantly ' killed M. A.
Spangler In a saloon holdup In Kansas
City on November 23.
Ackerman was In the saloon at the
time of the robery and followed Adams
from the saloon as Adams was making
his escape. When Adams was lined up with
five others In Captain Savage's office,
Ackerman selected him at once and said
"this Is my man."
George II. McCrary was robbed in Kan
sas City of a valuable gold watch and
some money and he Is positive that Earl
Brown Is the man who held the gun on
him. Earl Brown Is supposed to be the
little man in the holdup cases In Kansas
City and Omaha; Adams Is a, much taller
man.
Held for Offenses Here.
Adams and Brown are the fellows who
were bound over as having held up Marvin
Kohn on Twenty-fifth avenue, December 9,
and made him deliver what cash he had
at that time on his person. They arc also
tho pair held on the charge of having shot
E 8. Ashcroft of 1811 Chicago street, when
Ashcroft refused to stand and be robbed.
They are held to the Douglas county dis
trict court on bonds of JfiOO each, and It Is
likely the authorities will not agree to let
them be taken to Kansas City, as their
conviction here is regarded as almost sure.
They were arrested in Omaha by Detectives
Mitchell, Cunningham, Ring and Davis.
The Omaha police firmly believe Adams
and Brown are the men who have been
guilty of so many daring holdups. Kansas
City went through the same experience be
fore the men left that city and they evi
dently renewed their operations In Omaha.
S. W. Spangler, son of the man who was
killed In Kansas City, was shot In both
aims at the time his father was killed.
M. A. Spangler, the murdered man, tried
to get a drop on the man who held him
up but had to hold the robber's hands and
tho revolver the bandit held was dis
charged, the bullet entering the heart of
the proprietor of the saloon. S. W. Spang
ler made a desperate effort to shoot the
man who killed his father, but he was dis
abled by the shots that entered his arms.

General Funston Is at present therank

two years tour of duty as commandant of

This would practically leave hut one re

Turbulent Central AmericaDebt-Ridden Honduras. v
Of all the countries of the new world
Honduras finds Itself the deepest (n debt
per capita and the least able to meet Its
Indebatedness. In fact, France and Pcrtu-
gal are the only two nations on the globe
which show a greater per capita Indebted-
ness than Honduras. Apparently this little
country owes more than a hundred million
dollars, three-fourths of which Is Interest
that has accumulated since 1873. It hip-
pened In this way. When the Central
American republic fell to pieces In 18-7
each of the constituent, states assumed Its
proportion of the general indebtedness,
Honduras never paid Its portion, and In
1867 went Into the market t6 borrow money
to build a transcontinental railroad. Be-
fore, tho new loan could be floated arrange-
ments had to be made to satisfy the old
indebtedness. The upshot of the matter
was that Honduras fell Into the hands of
shylocks, who loaned It money and took
everything It had as security. Twice more
llonauras borrowed money, also ror tne
purpose of completing an Interoceanlc rail
way, but nearly all of It went into private
pockets Instead of going Into the building
of a railway.
