BUSY BURGLARS.
Two Houses Are Entered Last
Night.
w. w. Gavitt'S Home RanSacked
by Thieves.
THE LOOT is SMALL.
Nothing at All Secured at Mrs.
7. Nj. Mayors.
Three Boys Are Seen by a Negro
Woman.

W. ". Gavitt's- home at No. 80 East
Fifth street, was burglarized last night.
The burglar or burglars did not make
much of a haul. They got one silver
dollar and a few cents in pennies. 1t is
quite evident that they were after mon
ey, only because there were many val
liable things in the house which were
not disturbed. An investigation of the
burglary was made this morning by
]. NJ. Wilkerson. the sheriff, but it did
not lead to any clues that would put
him on the trail of the burglars.
That their home had been ransack-
ed by burglars was evident to the
Gavitts when they returned home at
midnight last night. The rooms on the
main floor of the house were in con-
siderable confusion and the drawers in
furniture had been thoroughly search
ed. A window in the rear of the main
floor, which is not very high above the
ground, was found open and it is be-
entrance through it. The Gavitts are
inclined to think that perhaps they
left the window unfastened when they
left home earlier in the evening
An examination of the rooms showed
that the only things missing We're a
silver dollar and some few pennies that
We're in a cup in one of the closets.
There were many fine pieces of cut
dining room which the burglars could
have had for the taking, but they pass
ed all these things by. 1t has been
Mr.. Gavitts custom to bring such
money as is taken in at his business
establishment on Saturday after hank
ing hours to the house where it is kent
until Monday morning. but this sum is
never a large one. 1t is thought that
tie burglars We're after this money and
Sheriff Wilkerson believes that the
burglar or burglars were persons famil-
lar with this practice of Mr. Gavitt;
that they knew the family was away
for few hours last night and that
they went into the house after the
money There was no evidence to show
that the burglars had gone through the
rooms on the upper floors of the house
Burglars on Monroe Street
The house of Mrs. T. NJ. Mayor, 1915
Monroe street. was entered by bur-
glars last night between the hours of
and 3 O'Clock. The window catch
on the large front window in the par
Tor was forced off. Another attempt
was made to force an entrance at the
back door, but after getting into the
shed and unhasping the screen door
by means of a stick pushed through
the screen, the burglars were stopped
by the bolt of the door,
About twenty minutes past o'clock
this morning Mrs. Mayor was awaken

around in the house. She got up to
see what the matter was and went to

FOR SMITH MILLIONS.
A Suit VIII Be Filed by Alleged
Daughter of Silent Man.

New York, June 1.-THE American
today publishes story to the effect
that a claim for eight and one-third
millions of dollars is to be filed against
the estate of the late James Henry
Smith in behalf of Mrs. Simon Duff
reche, who will claim she is a daugh-
ter of Smith by an early marriage.
William T. Houston, one of the law
yers mentioned in connection with the
proposed suit, is quoted as follows:
II am most firmly convinced that
this woman is honest and sincere in
her action. Her character is of the
highest and she made a thorough in
vestigation of her mothers marriage
and history before she retained coun-
sci.
Mrs Dufreche says she is certain
that Silent Smith was her father and
her proofs look very good. OF course,
there is a chance that it may be a case
of mistaken identity. If it proves such
and this will show the sincerity of all
concerned, Mrs. Dufreche and we of
her counsel will drop it. I do not
think it WILL"
Mrs. Dufreche's mother was Ellen
Gargen and her marriage to Smith is
said to have taken place in 1866. Mrs.
Dufreche's mother died seventeen
years ago.

square deal candidate for governor.
This was done without the knowledge
of Mr.. Stubs, who isn't anxious to be
drafted for that race. Mr.. Stone says:
plies to my letters, and nearly every
body seems to be much pleased with
the idea of making Mr.. Stubs the
candidate for governor. 1 believe that
and could get more support than any
one else. People know where he
stands. He would not need to prove
his position. 1t would make a clear
cut issue on the square deal principles
1 did not tell Mr.. Stubs what I was
doing, because / knew he would sit
down on the plan if he heard of it."
Mr.. Stubs himself is believed to be
favorable to the candidacy of c.. L.
Davidson of Wichita for governor, and
Mr.. Davidson would like to have try
at the job. Davidson has a good deal of
money, which would help in making a
campaign. If Davidson should be a cam
didate for the nomination it would put
Henry Allen in a peculiar position. He
is supposed to be for Hornaday in his
Fort Scott paper, while his Wichita pa
per would naturally have to support
Davidson. Mr.. Allen himself would per-
h 1s have to run for the rank vegeta-
ton.
The bomb which Grant Hornaday
touched off concerning the holding Of a
primary election next year Tor the Selec-
ton of all state, congressional, county
and township officers seems to have
torn considerable of hole. 1t has GEN.
tralfzed a lot of nebulous sentiment in
favor of the primary, and politicians
who are keeping posted on the matter
think that it may result in such pres
sure on the state central committee that
the committee will have to call primary
instead of a convention.
This would be a victory indeed for the
Direct Primary league" 1t would also
put the Republican party on record so
strongly for a direct primary that the
passage of the law would be merely an
entertaining forEality in case the Re-
publicans controlled the legislature.
Mr.. Hornaday was in Topeka Sunday.
and is confident that the state central
committee will favor his proposition.
'"They will if they have any considera-
ton for the sentiment of the people," he |
said. 81 have talked with four mem
bers of the ommittee and they are in |
favor of my proposition. And these |
members belong to the crowd that is gen. |
orally characterized as the machine |
crowd They are not, however; they |
are simply good Republicans. 1 believe |
that a majority of the committee will |
favor my plan. And 1 believe that the |
next set of state officials will be nom
mated by direct primary"
