in which to take them OFF the hands Of

in which to take them off the hands OF
the relief workers
In recommending the establishments Of
fund from which TO give money aid
to people who can be placed again in
their homes or who can be made self
supporting by the purchase Of harness
or tools, W W Mills said that he had
already received 500 to be used in this
manner. With part of it he had already
purchased harnesses for the teams OF
two men who had since gone to work.
This feature of the relief work was not
extensively discussed today bur was
approved by the majority of the board
of directors.
Most of the people who have so far
engaged in the relief work have contrib
uted their time solely to it since the
first days and are not only physically
exhausted by it but are BEGINNING to
feel the need of returning to their own
business affairs. More than half Of the
contributed money that has reached
the committee has been spent and at
the present rate the remainder would
be gone in a similar length of time. The
greater part of the flood victims who
are receiving assistance could earn
with their own hands bare livelihood
if again thrown upon their own re-
sources and it is the intention of the
committee to compel any not 50 disposed
to do so. If it is not done the fund will
at once be so depleted that there will
support themselves. This opinion IS
held with equal firmness by every one
of the Commercial club directors.
Not only at the Auditorium but at the
tent city aid will be refused further to
people who have any income. The idea
Of suspending all food and clothing dis
trfbution tonight was advocated strong
lv by several members of the board of
directors at this mornings meeting, but
the Judgment of the majority was for
continuing it a day longer so that the
announcement of the intention to close
might be published
TO AID THE FARMERS.
An important feature of the necessary
relief work was brought up by Major r
J. Anderson. which is explained IN the
following resolution:
Resolved That the sum of $4,000 be
appropriated for seeds and 81, 900 for inn
plements for the use Of the farmers of
Shawnee county, who have suffered
from the flood the same to be turned
over to the commissioners of this county
to be expended under their direction
Major Anderson at first proposed to
make each Of these appropriations
81. 500 but a suggestion to reduce it to
81 600 was incorporated in an amend
ment and the resolution was adopted.
If further assistance is found to be
necessary in the future it will be ad-
vanced by the Commercial club. Until
the present time the farmers who have
lost heavily in the inundation have re-
ceived no benefit from the general relief
funds. Other farmers in various parts
of the county have come generously to
their assistance in furnishing not only
ments However while waiting for
crops to mature many farmers Will be
in absolute want unless aided as are the
townspeople VINO have suffered

IS IT BLACKMAIL?
An Ottawa Business Man Asked
to Pay $4,000.

Ottawa. Kas, June 15-The Herald
saws. An action for $4,000 dana ges for
alienation of affections is hanging hre
in the district court under circum-
stances which seem to indicate that the
affair was not started in good faith
Ten days ago papers in case chars-
ing a prominent Main street business
man with conspiring to ALLEVIATE his
sons affections from a woman who
represents herself TO be the sons COM
mon law wife and claiming damages in
the sum Of 50,000 were received in the
district clerks office by mail from at
tornevs in Kansas City, Mo.
Accompanying the papers was re-
quest that they be filed at once ana
summons issued and a bill for costs sent
to the attorneys Instead Of complying
with the request District Clerk Parker
wrote the parties that a deposit Of S15
in cash or a suitable bond would 3e
required before any proceedings cOuld
be had Since then nothing has been
heard in the matter. and the suspicion
is raised that the action may have been
a move to force a respectable man into
compromise by taking the first steps III
sensat tional action.
The plaintiff named in the proceeding
is woman who is not too favorab bly,
known around Ottawa. She made her
home here until a few months go. The
action recites that she has been tbs
wife Of the Ottawa man for a periO1
of two years and that her relations with
him were broken by the persistent in
terference of the young mans parents.

GOES TO KANSAS CITY.
Governor Bailey. W;il Talk Oyer
Flood Situation.

Governor Bailey went to Kansas City,
Kan. this afternoon to confer with the
citizens there concerning the calling Of
Il special session of the legislature He
was accompanied by State Treasurer
Kelly and several Topeka gentlemen.
Secretary of State BurrOw and State
Auditor Wells have also wired. in re-
sponse to kilograms sent by Governor
Bailey, that they viii meet him in KAN
sas City tonight. The problem Of re-
building the bridges across the Kaw.
which is the chief one which confronts
the Wyandotte county interests. viii be
thoroughly discussed and a solution
found outside a legislative session if
possible
The citizens of Kansas City have been
strongly urging a special session of the
legisla ture to pass a law ena bling them
to vote bonds for the rebuilding Of their
bridges. They estimate that it will cost
$3.50 900, and they think a legislative
session necessary to legalize such ac-
ton. Governor Bailey is very much
averse to convening the legislature,
however, if it can be helped. and he is
at work on a plan which he thinks Will
accomplish the rebuilding of the bridges
without a special session.
Ex-Attorney General GODDARD says
that according to the state auditor s
y
dotte county fro missuing additional
bonds up to $500 900 if the people of
the county wish to do So He says the
assessed valuation of the county VIII
allow A bonded Indebtedness of $3.50 900,
and the county has only $350,000 out
standing If it is desired to issue city
bonds. however. it is a different pro-
position But even if it is not possible
to make legal bond issue at this time,
Governor Bailey believes a way out can
be found without convening the legis-
lature at this time
The bridge question is undoubtedly
far more serious in Kansas City, Kan,
than anywhere else in the state Thou
sands of people are compelled to cross
the river there every day. and now the
only way to cross is by ferry boats. It
is said that the employees of single
packing house are paying hundred
dollars a day for transportation across
the river
shawnee and several other counties
affected by having bridges washed out
can get along for year or two with
what bridges are left or can be easily
repaired It viii be an inconvenience,
of course. but it can be done until the
legislature meets again in regular ses-
sion and authorizes new bond issues in
counties which need such authority
The Topeka gentlemen who go to
Kansas CITY with the governor viii also
discuss the question of relief for the
flood sufferers. and it is believed that
this also can be accomplished without q
sDe.ial legislative session
