About the supper hour last night an
automobile was driven in front of
the Cremerie restaurant and couple
ahghted and entered presumably for
lunch. A few minutes later a couple
of we'll known Topeka young women
spied the big machine and recognizing
it as one which belongs to a friend,
rushed across the street and entering
the tonneau seated themselves to await
the return of the owner, expecting a
ride home. They waited for him to
return for half an hour and were
growing fidgety when the woman who
had accompanied the driver of the
machine to the place came out and
asked them what they were waiting
for. She explained that the machine
was being driven by the owner of the
garage where it was kept and not by
the owner. The two young women
left hastily without explaining that
and supposed that he was driving it.

WOMAN SLEUTH.
Tracks Her Husband Three Years and
Catches Him in Chicago.

Chicago, March 31-Mrs. Martha Clark
Travelled more than 5000 miles, visited
nine cities, and searched through them,
and then came to Chicago and walked
Halstead street from Twelfth to Sixty
fifth and back again daily for three
months in search of her husband,
Frank, who had deserted her in Kan
sas city, Kan, three years ago. She
found him and still loves him.
She had him arrested Sunday night
on the charge of abandonment, but he
merely was taken captive by the police
in order that he might not run away
again before she could have a chance
to talk to him. This she did yesterday
few minutes previous to their appear
ance before Municipal Judge Scovel
Mrs Clarks entreaties or wonderful
determination moved her husband and
he offered to take her and provide for
her as long as he lived" On her re-
quest and on the promise of Clark the
judge dismissed the charge and the
pair left the court room.
Three years ago Clark, who is
shipbuilder by trade, and his wife were
living in Kansas City, Kan. Suddenly
he disappeared. It took Mrs. Clark a
month to find where he went. She dis
covered he was in Denver and thither
she went in search of him. Clark, how
ever, learned his wife was following
him and departed to San Francisco
From the Pacific coast he jumped to a
little town in Maine, attempting to
cover his tracks. But his wife proved
to be a skillful detective and it was
only a few weeks before she located
him in the east. Then he went to
New York and from there to Pittsburg
and in order to Cleveland, Indianapolis,
Louisville. Finally he landed in Chi
cago.
Mrs. Clark pushed on, stopping in
her search only long enough to earn
enough money for her to continue.
Three months ago she arrived here af-
ter having been notified by a friend
that her husband had been seen in a
Halstead street car. She decided that
he probably lived somewhere along
Halstead street.
So Immediately she started walking
from SiXty-fffth street to Twelfth
street on Halstead. After three months
of these daily strolls she finally loca-
ted her husband Sunday night stand
ing at Sixty-fifth and Halstead
streets.
Mrs. Clark. fearing he might recog-
nize her and flee before she could have
a talk with him, went into a drug
store nearby and called up the police.
Clark was standing idly on the corner
when detectives took him in charge.

CEN1ERS IN CHICAGO.
Independent Telephone Association
Establishes Headquarters.

Chicago, March 31.-Permanent
headquarters of the International In
dependent Telephone association were
opened today in Chicago with the
purpose of inaugurating policy of
aggressiveness that the organization
expects will put a new complexion on
the telephone situation in America.
For the first time in the history Of the
independent telephone movement and
the organization of the association
there is a salaried president, A. G..
Lidemuth, of Richmond, Ind, and a
sa,laried secretary, J. B. Ware of De-
troit. Mich. both of whom with a
corps of assistants will devote their
entire time to organization and field
work, stimulating and promoting the
cooperative objects of the asso citation.
Mr.. Lidemuth said today:
There are at present no less than
10000 Independent telephone COM
panies operating approximately co.
900 Independent telephone exchanges
in the United States and Canada with
tens of thousands of miles of toll lines,
occupying in all or in part all the
sta tes and territories of the Union
and all the provinces of Canada, hav-
ing over four millions of Independent
telephones installed and being sup
piled by upwards of 1000 factories
and supply houses, and altogether

waste is a familiar one in all indus
tries but recent utterances of the can
didates for the highest offices of the

erty and competition as against
monopoly provide all the defense the
Independent telephone industry may
need. The integrity of the independr-
ent telephone system and it's universal
extension implies the continuing of
the present independent telephone
system as a separate and distinct in
dustry and system, extended into all
undeveloped territory, whether in
city or country, reorganized and
strengthened into complete and
effective whole. We are proceeding
along most legitimate and purposeful
lines, developing and promoting an
industry which is bound to operate for
the good Of the entire country

CALL IT A LOCKOUT.
Southwestern Miners VIII Quit Work
Tonight All Over the Field.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 31.-The pol
Icy of the interstate convention OF
United Mine Workers of America OF
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas, regarding differences with the
operators will probably be outlined to-
day. Yesterdays session was given
over to the appointment of committees,
which are expected to report to the
convention today. No communications
between the miners and operators are
expected to pass today. In the mean
time the 35. 600 miners whose interests
are involved are to quit work tonight.
AS the contract between the opera
tors and the miners provides that
AEril 1, shall always be holiday,
IRE is a bare chance that on that
date the operators and the men may
reach an agreement, thus sending the
men back to work Thursday morning
next without any waste of time. How
ever, the miners do not expect this.
They say that it is a plain lockout
and they are preparing to request per
mission of their national body to sign
contracts with individual operators.
