doubt in ell the others heard from
On the morning of December the young
woman came to the Wasson home in
answer to advertisement for servant
girl. She secured the position and went
to worlz- At $50 Mrs. and Miss Wasson
left the house to come up town and the
servant was left alone. She got very busy
at once, opening and searching every
closet dresser and trunk in the house, and
taking all the valuables she could gather
in the limited time. From the size of the
load removed from the house it is evident
that she had assistance, probably from the
alleged husband who has figured in re-
cent affairs. The booty consisted of sew
eral watches. rings brooches, chains and
ether jewelry and a quantity of expensive
clothing. From the description given OF
her by the Wasson family the police ar
rested several girls and held them for
identification. At the Wasson home she
gave her name as Marie Kline. In Hutch
inson she gave her name as Maud Craiger
when she worked a few hours for a FAM
lily named Spears and then came to To-
peka with the plunder. When she arrived
in ArmourdaIe she used the name Spears,
which she had stolen from the Hutchinson
family. together with their valuables. She
also robbed family in Leavenworth. In
her confession to the police in Kansas City,
Kan, she said that she came west with
her husband from New York four years
ago, and that she was 25 years Of age.
Her confession clinches the suspicion Of
the Topeka police that the woman with
the poodle was the same one who operated
here although she did not keep the dog
during her short stay with the Wasson
family. It was left at the boarding house
and she told the WATSON family about 1t.

ANNUL CHARTERS.
Strong Recommendation Made
by Brooklyn Grand Jury
In Favor of Municipal Owner
ship of Street Railways.
1T is THE ONLY WAY
To Cure the Evils of Which the
Public Complains.
A Three Cent Fare Would Pay
1T is THE ONLY WAY
A Three Cent Fare Would Pay
a Handsome Profit.

New York, Dec. 31.-The Kings county
grand jury made a Dresentment today
on traction facilities in Brooklyn, recon-
mending that steps be taken to annul
the charters of the constituent COM
panies of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company, and that the city acquire and
operate the surface and elevated lines.
The presentment declares that present
conditions are intolerable and contains
the statement that the officials of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company had
admitted they could cure the evils but
were unwilling to do SO. The jury ex-
presses the opinion that the roads could
be operated at a profit on a 3 cent fare
basis. The presentment says the only
solution of this vexed problem of metro
politan transportation is municipal own
ership and operation OF the means OF
public travel. These street railways,
elevated railways and tunnels, all the
facilities of metropolitan transit that
have been given away for absolutely
nothing until recently. and practically
nothing in this day. should be brought
back where they naturally belong, under
the control from which they passed, the
ownership and operation of the public.
I'VE are Of the opinion also, from sta
tistics submitted to us, that experience
has demonstrated that under public coll
troll these railway system would not
only be operated efficiently for the pub
lie, but that fares could be reduced to
say cents, still leaving large net sur
plus revenue, after the cost of operation
is met. which could be applied to re-
duce general taxation"

Offer of Farmer That Sol Smith Rus

subject of it. He used to tell about meet
ing an old farmer at Il railway station
in small New York town whose phil
osophy was particularly pat even though
his deductions were hardly complimen-
tary to the actor.
Russell and his companions were await

walked up, eyed the star a minute or two
and asked
BE you the feller that cut up capers

Russell. politely

WOMEN DOCTORS OF PARIS.
Some of Them Have Attained Emil

For many years the medical men OF
Paris violently opposed the granting Of
licenses to practice to women. They held
that the profession of medicine was not
suited to women and that women were
not suited for the profession. But after
a long and determined struggle the We
men have won the day. While twenty
years ago only seven women had taken
their medical degree, the $500 physicians
now established in Paris include fifty
seven women. The latter all have busy

Mr.. Paddock Would Then Have More

Kankakee, Ill, Dec. 31.-Daniel H
Paddock, leading member of the Kan
kakee county bar and prominent in the
state as a Republican politician, be-
came infuriated today because he fail
ed to get prompt telephone service. He
tore his telephone from the wall,
smashed it to small pieces and threw
them into the street. Officer John
Fairbairn demonstrated with Mr. Pad
dock whereupon the latter used such
language that the policeman placed
him under arrest for disorderly con-
duct. The lawyer was released on his
recOgnizaEce. Prominent politicians
and officials, including Mayor Beck
man and Chief of Police Jackson. have
in vain endeavored to induce Fairbairn
to withdraw the charge. Fairbairn
says he will resign first.
The affair has been the sensa ton in
Kankakee today. Mr.. Paddock was a

QUEEN ALEXANDRA
Looks So Young Might Be Mistaken
for Kings Daughter.

London, Dec. 31.-Everybody unites
in saying that Queen Alexandra, at
fifty-eight years of age, is still one of
the worlds wonders in the matter Of
personal appearance, for although she
is but three years younger than her
husband, she looks more like his
majesty's daughter than his wife, and
the contemporary in age of her own
daughters and daughter-in-law.
Her majesty comes of a long-liv-
ing, young-looking stock. and can
number among her own relatives sew
eral high personages who were more
smart, active and fashionable in their
f1fties and sixties than many others
belonging to a succeeding generation.
The dowager ozarina, the queen s
sister. Is extremely we'll preserved, con-
sidering she is now fifty-fve, and also
dresses as carefully as before her
widowhood; but grave family ankle
ties prevent her looking any younger
