Women are After Bacon.


Washington, March 15.-aResolved
that because OF recent revelations re.
fiecting upon the moral character Of
Robert Bacon, assistant secretary Of
state. we demand that a full and com
plete Investigation be speedily made
of said charges and if they are found
to be true that said Robert Bacon be
dismissed in disgrace as unworthy of
the high office he now holds under
the ADMINISTRATION
Resolutions similar to this, signed
by thousands of members of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance union
and other reform organizations, are
now pouring in pom President Roose
welt and the secretary of state. The
demand for Bacon's removal grows
out of one of the revelations of the
Tnaw trial in regard to the famous
girl in the pie" dinner, given by Stan
ford White in New York several years
ago. when assistant secretary of
state was one of the guests. Many
prominent Washington ministers have
joined in the demand for an invest1-
CATION, put it is not likely that any
will be made, since Bacon is said to
have explained his connection with
the affair satisfactorily to the pcesi-
dent. Mr.. Bacon is highly popular
in the social official circles of the
capitol and is n of the presidents
most valued advisers and closest
friends.

BROUGHT HIM ALIVE.

Representative Victor Murdoch OF
the Wichita district is telling this
one as the latest new story in Kan
sas:
One of the first tasks assigned the
new hired nand was to bring into
the COW lot, dead or alive a refracto-
ry bull that had broken into the corn
field. The freshman was given a shot
gun and told to shoot the bull if the
animal showed fight. Jauntily he went
about his task. The farmer stood at
a safe distance to watch develop
ments. AS oon as the bull saw the
Irishman enter the cornfield ne bolt
ed at him, believing madly. The
Irishman blazed away with the shot
gun and emptied the load in the
beasts breast. On rushed the bull,
madden than ever. The Irishman
took to his heels VITA the bull after
him.
What are you doing?" screamed
the farmer at the fleeing Irishman.
I'm bringing him alive sir" shout
ed the Irishman between breaths.
And that is the way Mr.. Bursum's
man Holt is bringing in the young
upstart" Governor of New Mexico.

leges or the government forest re-
serves expires today, few of the cat
tlemen in this district have made such
applications and are evidently deter
mined to carry out their agreement
to refuse to pay grazing ees OF take
out permits. The grazing Ia op-
ems this year on April 1, and the
stockmen intend to turn their cattle
out as usual, allowing them to wan
der on the range regardless of any
possible ~tFespass on the forest re-
serves. The officials in charge of the
Holy Gross reserve are personally pop
ular with the cattle growers, and the
latter do aot expect them to neglect
the enforcement of the regulations.
1t is the final test of the right of the
forestry bureau to impose the graz
ing fee that is desired by the stock
men, and their attitudeNo of defiance to
the government is taken for the pur-
pose of forcing a decision il the
courts.

Elaborate Luncheon for a Dime.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 15.-For
sibility of providing nutritious food
on an economical basis, the FEEDER
ated Woma1's Club of this district to-
day gave their annual luncheon at
Westport at a cost of 10 cents a plate
The menu was an elaborate one and
the food was prepared and served by
clubwomen. Several toasts were re-
sponded to by visiting women, many
of whom were present. A discussion
of pure food, child labor, library ex-
tension and clean city work followed
the luncheon.

ANTI-TIGHTS BILL DUE
TO THE THAW CASE
Assemblyman Hughes Will Fight for
1t in Wisconsin Legislature De-
spite Ridicule.

Milwaukee. Wis.-The bill of AS
semblyman ]. F. Hughes, who pro-
poses to regulate the wearing OF
tights, has caused all sorts of fun
here. An enterprising museum pro-
moter has announced that he IS going
to Madison next week to offer Hugh
es a position if the Rosevillc states
man will consent to dcllvsr five times
daily lecture on tights. g large as
sortment OF which the Snowman
promises to furnish \ local bur-
lesque house last night decorated the
bare legs of the chairs u5cu on the
stage. but the chorus girls appeared
in Their usual scanty costume.
In the Assembly everybody is kid
ding" the father of the bill. Al sorts
of letters are being sent Hughes, who
is editor of a country paper. In the
meantime Hughes is in dead earnest
and preparing to make the speech OF
his life when his bill comes up for
slaughter He says the Thaw case
drove him to frame the bill. He said
today:
The revelation of the Thaw trial
shows a depforable state of things
in our so-called high society. The
tendency of the theatre is to cater to
because Of wealth. set up standards
repuenant to descent people. More
modest wear is required to elevate
the moral tone Of the stage and the
public l would not reflect on the
character OF the highminded, serious
followers Of the stage, but my bill IS
aimed at the bald-headed row as
much as any.
'sThe trouble that developed into
the Thaw murder trial had its begin
ming with a scanty-attired chorus,
on A theatrical stage. The FIRST time
Stanford White saw Evelyn Nesbit
she was in this chorus. If his mon
strous passions had not been aroused
by that sight 1T IS probable that
young Thaw would not now be on
trial for killing him.
This is only one of the many IN
stances that might be cited of TRACE
dies that have had their beginning
with the chorus girls a1luring attire,
No pure minded man enjoys seeing
a lot OF women scantly dressed pranc
ing and pirouettino on public stage
Such spectacle does not improve
the morals of either sex.

THE LEVEES WIN
A DECISIVE VICTORY
The Big River Has Not Been Able
to Break Them This Year

The crest of the hood has passed
Rosedale on It's way to the Gulf and
not a single break in the main levees
between Memphis and New Orleans.

Several points were considered
rather dangerous during the tim.
that the river Was at its highest mark
but now that he waters have begun
to recede. it is very improbable that
a break will occur anywhere
This year will establish a record
for the levees-for never before has
the river been as high without sew
eral breaks occurring. In future out
people will have more confidence, in
the levees than ever before: but W.
