FoRCIBLE DETENrIoH Law.
How 1t Works For the Renter And
Land Owner.

0~uN VWhSAs
The farmers who have rented out
farms in this county think the forci-
BILE detention law Of Kansas, iavors
the tenants too much. 1.-THE law WAS
made TO protect the poor man and the
rascals take advantage Of IT," said an
Abilene real estate man 10 regard to
the forcible detention law. There 10
smother law pertaining to :he fore
closing Of mortgages, giving the
nortgagor two years after the date Of
the foreclosure Of the mortgage In
which to redeem the note. The forci.
BILE detainer law makes 1t compulsory
for the owner Of piece Of farm land
II be wants to move the tenant, TO
give notice ninety days before the first
OF March. Unless notice Is served
then, the tenant can stay smother year
In spite Of anything the landlord can
do. Then over and above the ninety
days, II the landlord has to resort the
legal methods to remove the tenant,
the tenant can hang on till after plant
ing season by killing time with the
case In court. There always 10 the
annual supply Of March forcible de-
tention cases In the courts.
Here 10 the way the law alluded to
above works: A man loaned another
man three hundred dollars on six
hundred dollar property. The man
paid the interest ell right up to the
last payment. The mortgage was
foreclosed and according to law the
borrower had eighteen months after
the expiration Of the mortgage in
which to redeem 1t. He had no in
tention Of paying off the mortgage,
and lived on the place eighteen
months and then left. During that
time tie lender had to pay taxes, and
was getting no rent and NO interest,
nor did be get any interest on the last
six months installment, making in
all two years In which he got no rent
nor interest and had to pay the taxes
oil the time. Then to wind up with
he had to pay out about $36 In at
torney and witness fees In bringing
proceedings to eject the man from the
place. In addition to this the unfair
tenant had to let the place run down
q hundred dollars worth before he
left the place.
Altogether, the loan lost money ON
the place although at first the pro-
perty was worth twice the amount.
This is an instance OF how a rascal
can take advantage Of q law which
was made to helpa an honest poor man.
The law was intendad to protect q
tenant from immediate ejectment,
supposing he had no place to 60 and a
family to care for.
To make up for the advantage to
the borrower the law gives, the lender,
to insure himself, places much
larger rate OF interest on the loan

Stuart, a civil engineer about so years
old and a former employe Of the vul-
can Iron Works, San Francisco. was
found dead this afternoon in his room
at the Westminster Hotel He had
committed suicide by swallowing cya-
nide Of potassium.
Stuart had been at the Westminster
since March IS. 1t is believed he took
the poison some time during Wednes-
day night. His room was not entered
by the servants on Thursday and il
was not until this afternoon that an
employe of the hotel investigated the
absence of the guest and found Stuart's
body lying on the bed, divested of coat
ana vest. On a stand was a paper
containing a quantity of cyanide of
potassium and a glass from which a
portion Of the poison evidently had
been drunk

YOUNG BRIDE
IS MISSING
Wife of Captain Tornstrom
of the Ship Ludlow Sud-
denly Drops Out of Sight
Special pispatch 70 The can.

LOS ANGELES, April S.-Captain
William Tornstrom, aged 63 years. is
mourning the loss of his wife, Alma
Tornstrom. aged 81 years. whom he
married in San Francisco not quite
one year ago. The skipper does not
know whether she is drowned or has
deserted him. To the latter opinion
he inclines, for he says if she has
drowned herself he can't see why she
should have cared to take her pret-
tiest Easter gown, in addition to the
one she was wearing, even though she
disappeared at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing from aboard the good ship Lud-
low, of which her husband is master.
While in San Francisco last summer
he met pretty Alma Fried, who was
learning to be a nurse at the City and
County Hospital, but who was willing,
at his solicitation, to share the life of
the old seadog if he would only let
her finish her course as a nurse. This
the captain agreed to, so he and Alma
were married and she journeyed south
on board the Ludlow as his bride. Ar
irving here she entered the County
Hospital in Los Angeles. According
to statements made by friends of the
captain she was fond of little dinners
at prominent cafes in Los Angeles,
where liquid refreshments were not
eliminated and where her escort was
not the master of the good ship Lud-
low.
Wednesday night at San Pedro. Cap
tain Tornstrom gave a dinner aboard
the Ludlow in honor of his wife and
to celebrate their departure on the
morrow About 2 o'clock in the morn
ing of Thursday. Captain Tornstrom
tucked his wife under his arm and
walked down to the wharf with their
guests, bidding them goodnight. At
the invitation of the master of the
schooner Willis L. Holden. which lay
alongside the Ludlow, the captain and
his wife went aboard that vessel to
have one bumper at parting" They
We're all seated in the cabin, chatting
gayly, when Mrs. Tornstrom asked to
be excused for a moment. The mo-
ment heightened into minutes and the
minutes into an hour. When search
was made for her no trace OF her could
be found. Neither can her fine clothes
be found. A young medical student
with whom she had been very friendly
is also among the missing The cap
tain believes there is some significance
in the two disappearances.

morning from New York, and left to-

viii inspect both the Great Northern

the time spent at the Chicago Club for

officials of the Burlington system. He

Hills face and manner. however, did
not indicate that he was worried over

the decision of the Supreme Court or
E. H. Harriman's attempt to thwart
Hills plan for dissolving it.
In good faith and promptly we're

zeiger, the meeting is intended to per
feet the new situation created by the
exchange of toasts at Naples"
This shows by inference that the
Triple Alliance is not all it was sup
posed to be. In fact the alliance never
recovered from the effect of the famous
Zanardelli interview. Italy's attach
ment to Germany from that time on
was notoriously more or less platonic.
If the Kaiser has succeeded in chang
ing this condition of things he has
given proof OF high diplomatic skill.
BUTT is clearly felt here TO be doubt
ful whether the renewed strength of
the Triple Alliance. consequent on the
Naples visit. will survive the impress
sion which the visit of President Lou
bet will cause.
For these reasons the semi official
press is straining every nerve to cause
the people 10 believe that the Kaiser's $
visit and the meeting of the Italian
and Austrian Foreign Ministers means
a new lease of life for the Triple AL
lance.
