MRS. BURTON A POLITICIAN
An Excellent Second For Her Ambi-
tious Husband.

Mrs. ]. r. Burton is as much of a
politician as her distinguished husband.
She attends all important political gath
erings and is personally acquainted with
more Kansas statesmen than the wife
of any other man in politics in this
state.
Mrs. Burton is here for the state con
vention tomorrow. She does not con-
fine her interest in politics to Mr.. Bur-
ton but keeps posted on party affairs
and party questions and can prove that
the gold standard is beneficial to the
country just as easily and with as little
effort as she can prove to the average
mind that Mr.. Burton is the most avail
able man in sight for United States SEN
ator.
Mrs. Burton is not a handshaker but
she is always ready to greet her ac-
quaintances with a pleasant smile and
does not mention the subject of politics
in a conversation unless it is brought up
by those with whom she is in cOnVersa-
ton. Mrs. Burton is one of the con-
spicuous women of the state.

All minor subjects pending before the
Republican state convention delegates,
caucussing today, have been suppressed
ed in Importance by the question
whether Governor Stanley shall be sus-
tanned by the convention which has as
sembled to endorse him by a renomina-
tion for a second term. or whether a
new boss in the person of Gen. ]. K
Hudson shall be enthroned.
Governor Stanley has asked that Nor
ton AIbaugh be retained as chairman Of
the Republican state committee. J. K
Hudson leads the opposition to this pro-
gramme The issue is of necessity a
fight against Stanley. who is his god
father in this contest.
Some months ago the impression was
abroad that Albaugh would not seek
Stanley noticed the inclination on the
part of Albaugh to keep out of the race
and was responsible for Albaugh's en-
tering a campaign for the place.
"Albaugh cut loose from his other
friends and was for me when all his as
sociates were against my nomination, !"
said the governor, 'tand I would be an
migrate to fail to stand by Albaugh."
This in brief is the reason why Stan
ley insists upon the retention of AL
baugh.

battles before this convention have
been flying thick and fast. The fol-

go and with him Frank Brown, secre-
tary of the committee Mr. Brown is
not a candidate for secretary. Mr..
Brown says he is anxious to abandon
the work in favor of some other man.
'"The work of secretary is by no means
a holiday" said Mr. Brown today, "and
1 am entirely willing to permit some
one else to try it. 1 have had more work

my private business needs my attention

A caucus of the t'anti- boss league

fight over the Craftsmanship in the state

The first thing heard among the dele

Offering to keep fight out of the con-

The Burton forces argue that this is
no time for a fight and urge harmony

This is also the attitude of the Baker
people In the event a deal is made to
avoid all fights the Burton people will
not offer objection to the usual and ex-
pected endorsement of Senator Baker,
and the Kansas congressman, which ac-
tion is always taken by a state conven-

are never mentioned and will not this
time be mentioned in the resolutions.
This endorsement is the party bouquet

ANGRY AT BURTON.
Reported That Anti-Boss League Is
at Outs With Him.

The latest and choicest bit of gossip
circulating at the Republican head
quarters this afternoon is the story of
disagreement since the meeting of the
anti-bosS league.
Those who should know about what
proceedings were had at the meeting
deny that there was any trouble but
confidential friends of these men tell
what they claim has been told to them
with a surprising amount of detail
The story is to the effect that at the
meeting of the anti-boss league some of
the most radical workers in the organza-
ton made the charge that the purposes
of the league had been imposed upon by
J. r. Burton. Burton is making a
catspaw of the league" is the remark
which is accredited by this report to
one of the leaders. This charge was the
result of the failure of the Burton forces
to join with the anti-boss crowd in
making a fight in the convention over
chairman.
It is reported that some meddlers OF
the anti-boss league who have been
working for Burton are now threaten =
ing to join the Baker forces to repay

n Contest--CIaims Interest in
Large Estate.

II now seems certain that the will Of
Mrs Jessie Kenney, who died recently
al this city, leaving an estate said TO
he worth approximately $4,000 will be
contested. John Ksnney, brother-in-
Jaw of the deceased yesterday admitted
to a -1ntelligencer reporter that II
was his intention to test the validity
tically all of the Kenney fortune to char
ity.
For several days rumors have been cur
rent that the executors of the estate, who
are also ex-officio trustees of the Samuel
and Jessie Kenney home, which 1t was
the desire of Mrs Kenney to found. would
be called upon to contest suit for pos
session Of a portion Of the estate, on the
ground that Samuel Kenney. the deceased
husband of Mrs. Kenney. had violated an
agreement which he entered into with
John Kenney. his brother. to the effect
that a portion OF the property should
eventually be set aside to remunerate the
latter for advances made to the former
during his lifetime.
Yesterday John Kenney, who has shoe
store on Third avenue, near Marion street,
was very retCent about the matter. He
finally admitted however, that 1t was
his intention to resist the disbursement
of the estate in The manner provided by
Mrs. Kenney's will.
Kenney would say nothing as to the
alleged agreement between himself and
his deceased brother whereby he was
the estate upon the death of the latter's
wife.

The first passengers to reach Skagway
from Dawson since the breakup on the
Yukon arrived at the former city May
30. They came from Dawson to Lower
Lebarge on the steamer Flora, walked
from there to White Horse, took wagons
to the end of the White Pass railroad
extension and concluded the trip by
train. They left Dawson on the Flora
May 10 and made Lebarge in seven days.
The greater number of the passengers
remained aboard the boat when she
reached Lebarge. 1t is reported she
later reached White Horse.

Dawson since the close of the winter

had all departed in about ten days.
