Speaking of the defeat of Anthony Mr..
OhIhausen said. TT was a very unex-

thony had everything fixed his way and
could not be defeated. He had made a
good record as mayor, he had all the pol
iticians for him, he had the police force,
and all the city officials: he had a good
deal of Democratic support and he had
the money. But the people of the city
were simply determined to turn him out.
They went to the polls and voted, and
Anthony could not stop the landslide. It
was a hard blow to Anthony's political
prestige over there
I do not think that the new mayor will
reduce the license on the saloons An

him for doing so. The license was SO per

not aware that he had any purpose of
resigning.

MARY MARSHALL is FREE
Governor Hoch Pardons Notorious
Topeka Negro, ConditionaHy.

Governor Hoch today granted a con-
ditional pardon to Mary Marshall, the
negro woman who was sent up to the
penitentiary from Shawnee county four
years ago for steering a white man into
an alley and taking from him his watch
and chain. The woman was sentenced
for 13 years.
Warden Jewett, of the penitentiary,
recommended the pardon, and Colonel
George Neale, of Topeka, who has had
the Marshall woman's mother in his
employ for the past 20 years. has agreed
to take charge of the girl and see that
she does not get into trouble.
While in Topeka, Mary Marshall was
one OF the well known characters at po-
lice court. Her reputation was about
las bad as they make en- and there
was a general sigh of relief when she
was sent to the penitentiary. The only
redeeming feature in the pardon seems
to be that it is conditional upon the
good behavior OF. the woman.
