HOCH IN TOPEKA.
He Approves of Mfr. Stubs Commit

F. w Hoch, Republican candidate
for governor, came to Topeka today
from Marion to confer with State
Chairman Stubs with reference TO
campaign matters. Mr.. Stubs was
out of town this morning, but was ex-
pected UP from Lawrence again this
afternoon
Mr.. Hoch says the rooms at the
National selected by Chairman Stubbs
as committee headquarters from
which to conduct the coming Repub-
lican state campaign, are the best
rooms for the purpose he has ever
seen, but at the same time he would
personally have preferred to have the
headquarters at the Copeland He
says he feels more at home at the
Copeland. He is stopping at the Ma

still stops at the Copeland, or did yes

Mr. Stubs suggestion that the
speaking part of the campaign open
on September 3, as made in the State
Journal some time ago, seems to be
meeting with universal favor. That
will be the date selected for the big
meeting at Marion, the home of Mr..
Hoch.
Mr.. Hoch says he is in favor of
opening the committee headquarters
Just as soon as it can be done This
will be for the purpose of attending
to correspondence and getting the
county committees interested and
ready for work. While Mr.. Hoch is
here arrangements will be made for
full meeting of the state commit
tee in the near future.

STRIKE TROUBLE.
st. Paul Butchers Refuse to Let Office
Force Work.

St. Paul, Mimi, July 15.-A force of
several hundred strikers lined up in
front of the main entrance to the Swift
Packing company's plant at South st.
Paul today and refused to let the office
force and other employees into the
building. The strikers had learned of
the operation of the plant yesterday
and concluded that the office men
must have been employed on the kill
ing floor and therefore determined to
allow no one to enter the ground.
Mayor Little was appealed to by the
officers of the company. He consent
ed to lead the office force in an effort
to get through the gates, but the strik-
ers refused to admit the mayor and
party Parleying followed for some
time without results
The strikers said they would allow
the office men to enter the yards if the
officials would give their word of honor
that the men would not be employed
except upon their regular duties.
The officers DECLARED they did not feel
called upon to give any such pledge to
anybody and things were at a stand
still.
1t is expected that the governor will
be asked, to send troops to the stock
yards.

NO BOILERMAKERS OUT.
The Sympathy Strike Did Not Ma
terialize Today.

The long looked for strike of the
boflermakers on the Santa Fe did not
occur today as had been predicted
Work in the boilermakers' depart
ment of the Santa Fe shops was I'M
interrupted and it is doubtful II the
strike will be ordered.
Grand President John McNiel of the
Boilermakers' union said in his last
letter to the local lodges that the
chance of losing what had been gain
ed during the past few years was so
much greater than the possibility of
increasing wages that caution was
necessary in considering the ordering
of the strike
Mr. Mcneil declared that he be-
lieved that it was unwise to order a
strike at this time for the reason that
work was so slack. Trade of all kinds
has fallen off recently and workmen
in all crafts have been laid off by the
hundreds and thousands over the
United States
Arthur Ireland, organizer of the
American Federation of Labor. is eX-
pected in Topeka tomorrow, and some
developments may come to light after
his arrival. But it is thought unlikely
that the boilermakers will be called
out even after Ireland gets back to
this city.
To all outward appearances the
strike is over.

STRIKE MAY EXTEND.
Employees of Mechanical Department
Expected to Go Out.

Chicago, July 15.-While the strike
leaders were comforting today activity
in the big packing houses increased.
The forces of men at work have been
increased until the output has as
stunned proportions which the packers
declare are highly satisfactory to
hem.
Louis r. Swift, of Swift & Co., said:
we are getting men right along, and
all our departments are working. We
are turning away unskilled labor, hav-
ing secured our full quota, and are
not worrying about the settlement
At Armour &c Co.'S plant it was said
more work was being done than on
any other day since the strike was
called. Addition has been made to the
force and the output it was asserted
was increased proportionately.
Nelson Morris & Co. also declared
that they were working in all de-
partmentS.
AT the Hammond plant of the Ma
tional Packing company hog killing
was begun today for the first time
since the men went out and it is esti-
mated that 500 or more will be slaugh-
tered before night. In a number of
plants. however, it was evident that
the attempt to operate was being made
under difficulties and it was reported
that many of the companies had ar
ranged to have all killing and dressing
done by plants operating in Columbus,
o., Boston, Mass, and other cities east.
Keen competition between the beef COM
bination and the Independent COM
panies in Chicago, it was reported pre-
cluded any such arrangement being
made nere. The strikers say that they
will offer no objection to the retention
by the packers of their new employees,
but they insist on a place being found
for every man who, walked out.
On other points of differences the en-
ploy showed a desire to meet the
packers half way The strikers declar-
ed that they knew for a certainty that
if the peace negotiations failed of eff
feet today every man of the allied
trades still at work in the yards would
walk out This would mean that the
mechanical part of the packing plant
system would be forced to suspend I'M
til the companies can hire nonuniOn
engineers. firemen, elevator conductors
and other skilled workmen.

The main hall will be used for dane

DIVORCE By EASY STAGES.

Justice Dickey of the Brooklyn SUI
preme court is a modern Solomon.
In case for divorce he said to the
husband: 1T seems to me that you
have an impulse to run around. But
since you have supported your wife
naturally hesitate about separating
you, because you are both young. 1t
might wreck your lives, as well as re-
fleet upon your children, to grant a
complete divorce, merely because of
your trivial misunderstanding. 1 shall
grant a separation for two years and
will allow the defendant to see his
children during that time
On this decision the St. Louis Post
Dispatch comments as follows:
This is an innovation and some
people may shake their heads. But
why is it not a sensible means of COM
posing matrimonial disputes?
eff the husband and wife cannot
come to an understanding within two
years. the chances are that they were
in fact mismated, and on their de-
mand the court could pronounce de-
cree of divorce. But If they think
their experience has had a chasten-
ing effect they can make a fresh start
together.
This should be called the divorce
by easy stages. On application first
papers are issued. good for two years.
At the conclusion of this term com
plete divorce is granted, if desired.
The Brooklyn Solomon is a man of
understanding"

Another stimulating factor in the

September are usually periods of de-
