Kansas and to politics.
Without any untoward circumstance.
the congress will adjourn about May 1.
1t is possible that the session may be
slightly protracted after that date. but
early May will see the departure of
the statesmen. There is nothing but
the appropriation bills. save the Aldrich
claims BILL and possibly public build
ing bill, but the big thing this session,
aside from the usual appropriation
grind has been the currency question.
and there Is no doubt of the passage
of the Aldrich bill with some amend
ment.
There has been some talk of a special
message by the president asking con-
gress to do something at this session
beyond merely passing appropriation
bills and the Aldrich bill. It is gener-
ally conceded, however that, prior to a
presidential campaign, with the usual
disturbance in business, plus the effect
of the recent stringency, and with no
crying need for general legislation, and

The Kansans are arranging to start

here until adjournment in spite of his
contest for senator. He is interested
in the financial legislation; he has to
put through the senate the census bill,
from his committee; and he is interested
in much small legislation. Besides,

Senator Long will embrace the first

Washington, March 16-A motion on
behalf of the attorney generale Kansas
to advance on the docket the cases of
the state of Kansas versus the Western
Union Telegraph company and the
Pullman Car company was made today

States. The cases involve the con-

HITCHCOCK GOES FREE.
Witness Swears That Her Story to
Grand Jury Was False.

New York, March 16.-Raymond
Hitchcock, the comedian, today was ac-
qultted by direction of Justice Blanch-
ard in the supreme court of charges
brought by several young girls. after
one of the girls had testified that the
allegations she made against the actor
were untrue.
Flora Winston, who had been called
as q eorroborating witness, completely
refutsd her testimony given before the
grand jury. In reply to questions by
Assistant District Attorney Garvan the
girl declared that Hitchcock never had
harmed her and that she had told the
story to the grand jury as she had been
directed to do by an agent of the Chill
dren's society. 1t was partly upon the
testimony Of Flora Winston that the
grand jury's indictment against Hitch
cook was based.
The acquittal was on the indictment
growing out of charges made by Ellen
Won Hagen. There are several other
indictments on similar charges still
pending.

ASKS TO Be LET ALONE.
Jere Knode Cooke, the Eloping
Preacher Tells Story of His Life.

San Francisco, Cal, March 16--
Jere Knode Cooke, the unfrocked
pastor of st. Georges church. Hemp
stead, L. l., who eloped year ago
der the name of "Balcolm" is now
occupying fiat on the outskirts of
this city. with the girl and their baby,
told the following story of his life to-
day.
my parents died when I was very
young, but young as I was, 1 remem-
ber distinctly my mother making me
promise to enter the ministry. AS
grew older the calling appealed to me
more and more and I decided to enter
the church. 1 was adopted by man
named Cooke, whom I look upon as
an uncle, and attended the public
schools. When I was 16 years old I
was apprenticed to a painter and dec
orator, and there 1 learned the trade
which I am now following The little
earned I saved and eventually had
enough to allow me to enter Yale.
Life was an uphill struggle then. ]
had to work my way through college
and on graduating was appointed GU
rate of a church in Baltimore.
while there / met and married the
woman the law calls my wife. There
made my first big mistake, when
three days after our wedding she
coldly informed me that she had mar
rfed me simply as a stepping stone to
social success and that she saw in me
one who was going to rise, recog-
nized the bitterness of my lot.
From Baltimore I was appointed
rector Of ST. Georges church in
Hampstead, L. I. The position was a
good one and one that highly pleased
my wife. She had there an oppor-
tunity to further her social aims and
it was pleasing to me also inasmuch
as 1T was in accord with my personal
bftsOn to succeed
LAS a rector of st. Georges I met
Floretta Whaley. She was a mere
child then and grew up under my
eyes. I always regarded her as
such until one day awoke to the fact
that she was a woman and that I low
ed her. At this stage I might say,
though 16 years old, Floretta Whaley
was one of the type that natures
early. Her orphan life and surround
ings had made her remarkably pre-
cocious. even as child and at IL 81 she
was in her womanhood. L say this
in the face of the criticism heaped
ON me in regard to the eloping with
one SO young.
at wish it to be remembered that
at this time I was at the height of my
success The near future promised
for me all the sacerdotal world had to
offer I threw aside everything and
took the girl
"I knew exactly what the payment
would be. I knew the storm that
would follow I knew I became a
criminal; I knew it all and I did it.
"Here in San Francisco 1 learned
the difference between the east and
west In the east I would have been
stoned in Jail; in the west people
came to my aid to help me out. They
understood that I had only one course
to pursue and that was to stick to the
mother of my child I expected a
bounding and instead I received but
kindness and offers.
"And now all I ask is to be allowed
to live my life not as Jere K Cooke,
the unfrocked pastor Of st. Georges
church, but as Jere Balcom, painter
and decorator, who draws a week 8
wages for a week's-work."

Nations Capital Likely to Adopt
Prohibition.
Two Kansans Will Have Hand
in Reform.

Washington, March 16-The growth
of prohibition in the country, particu-
larly in the south, has led to such an
agitation through out the country and
especially in prohibition centers, that
there is strong pro liability Of prohibi-
ton in the nations capital and the
District of Columbia at the present
session of congress.
If there is such legislation. two
Kansans will perhaps have more 10 90
with it than any other two members
of congress. These are Senator Long
and Representative p. P. Campbell.
Each is prominent member OF the
committee on the District OF Columbia
Of his particular house OF congress
District legislation. Mr.. Campbell Is
ranking member of the house commit
tee, is the head man on its executive,
OF ways and means subcommittee, and
Senator Long has the best subcom-
mittee Craftsmanship on his commit.
tee, public utilities, and is a member or
the excise committee.
1t is this latter subcommittee, that
on excise, before which. in each house,
all the pressure is now being brought
to bear, in congress and out, for pro-
hibition in the District Petitions, me-
MORALS, resolutions. personal pleas
and letters, are being poured in on this
subcommittee. Senator Long and Mr..
1000 of such from Kansas alone.
Ministers, members of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union. and kin
dred organizations. have been making
personal calls on these Kansans and
their colleagues of the subcommittee
for weeks. The individual effort, as
we'll as the concentrated demand. is in
evidence more than ever before.
The house committee on the District
of Columbia is supposed to be against
this legislation, but that is purely
speculative. There is no well defined
public attitude of that committee, but
the fact that Mr.. Campbell, its strong
est member, favors the proposed legis-
lation, and that the committee will
hold hearings on the subject this and
the coming week, when whosoever
will may come and tell what he thinks
of the subject, argue for action in that
committee. On the senate side, the
subcommittee of which Senator Long
is a member is preparing to give at
tention to the subject at an early date.

ends the interesting fight waged to
bring the bridge company to the

The question will now come up in
the council as to whether a penalty
shall be exacted from the bridge COM
pany because 1t failed to finish the

the way of enforcing it
