Entitled to Commission

Through an error it was stated in yes
terday mornings Eagle that that case of
H G. Lee & Co., VS. ]. T. May was de-
cided in favor of Lee & Co. This is a
mistake The case was decided in favor
of the defendant. ]. T. May. He had
listed his property with several Of the
real estate firms and among them were
Lee & Co. and Dean Gordon. To list
with several firms is the ordinary way in
which real estate is disposed Of and in
so doing Mr.. May was only following a
common business practice. Lee & Co. md
Dean Gordon both claimed TO have found
the purchaser, but Mr.. Gordon was the
one who closed the deal, and the court
decided that he was entitled TO the com
mission. Mr.. May paid Mr.. Gordon the
commission, after which Lee & Co.
brought suit for it. The court sustained
Mi Mays action.

Mrs. Brandt Secures Divorce While

Last Friday Homer Grant was brought
before Judge Mitchell of the police court
on the charge Of disturbing the peace OF
his wife.
He was Immediately fined S25 and in de-
fault Of payment was placed in the city
Jail on a bread and water diet.
After he was taken away Mrs. Grant
employed Judge Mitchell Of the police
tcourt, to bring proceedings for a divorce
before the district court charging her
husband with gress neglect OF duty. Judge
Dale, after hearing the petition, granted
the divorce in just thirty minutes after

culiar case, getting a divorce while the
husband was in jail on a bread and water
diet Wichita has divorce cases every
week, but for length Of time and unique
ness this one undoubtedly heads the list.

ANOTHER CUBAN SCANDAL.

Another Cuban scandal has come to
light. This one is not given as much
publicity as the postofflce affair, pos
sibly because the victims were labor
ers, but 1t is none the less as outrage
ous as the other case. Thousands OF
poor laborers have been at the mercy
OF money sharks who. by the favorit-
ism Of civil administration have been
permitted to buy up the time checks
Of the workmen. By the system in
vogue the money lenders. through
their small advances. which were guar
anteed by some oficers and foremen in
charge Of works. were enabled to have
the full pay OF the common laborers
turned over to them. The War De-
rartment has been making frantic e.
forts to head OF disclosure of the
scandal because the Cuban administra-
ton Ia already responsible for so many
corrupt practices. but a portion Of the
story has leaked out. The department
has ordered that civil disbursing OFF,
GERS shall make payments at or near
the working places and to the men In
dividually whose names appear on the
pay rolls. Officers in charge OF labor
ers have been forbidden to guarantee
the payment Of transferred checks or
to allow any other person to make
such guarantee and every other possi-
