A Reception 10 MRS Lease.

Mrs. Mary E. Lease, of Kansas,
was given reception at the Mid
land hotel last night by the women
of the Kansas City Equal Suffrage
society. Mrs. Lease talked on equal
suffrage and told the story of her
life ior the benefit of the women who
wanted to know more about the
woman who has fought her way to
the front in Kansas and who has
vanquished every man or woman
who has ever dared to dispute with
her. She said her mother was a
Murray from the Highlands ofScot-
land and her father an Irish revolu-
Zionist who was driven out Of his
country for rebelling against the
the orders of the British govern
ment. Mrs. Lease declared that
women are now taking prominent
places in almost every line of bust
ness. They have not made sue
cess az saloon keepers and ward
heclers. She urged the women to
work for equal suffrage and assured
them of bright prospects Of the flu
ture.
Mrs. Lease did not arrive in Kan
sas City, Kas., yesterday in time to
testify at the preliminary hearing Of
j. A. Smith on the charge of Grim
inally libelling Police Judge King
in Justice Swinglev's court, and
the justice issued an attachment for
her, charging her with contempt of
court. The papers had hardly been
prepared when telegram from Mrs
Lease came announcing that she
had missed the train at Osborn,
Kas Saturday night, and that there
was no Sunday train. The attach
ment was then dissolved. This
morning Mrs. Lease called on Po-
lice Judge King and Chief of Police
Quarles to see if they still wanted
her testimony. She stated to them
that she had not wilfully given the
Smith letter, which caused all the
trouble, to the newspapers. She
said a confidence had been violated
