ALDERMEN
The Ones Who Wanted Sin
nOtt to Keep Chair Hold
Secret COufab.

A new building and loan association
men who backed John +. Sinnott, of
the Seventh Ward. for reelection as
president of the Common Council of
1908. The organization meeting was
held in Alderman Julius A. Meyers
cafe, in Runyon street, last night. Those
who attended were John f. Sinnott,
Seventh Ward; Adolph Holzner, Sew
enth Ward; Michael F. Mullin, Fourth
Ward; Louis Semel, Third Ward.
Michael Leveen, Second Ward. Those
who were invited but were unable to
attend were DR.. Joseph Froelich, Third
Ward; James A. Bray, Fourteenth
Ward, and Albert H. Biertuempfel, of
the Twelfth Ward. Mr.. Sinnott pre-
sided.
There was nothing of a political ma
ture discussed at the gathering, at least
while outsiders remained, and today
Alderman Sinnott declared that the
meeting was t. organize a new building
and loan, and that he was through
giving interviews or bothering about
being misquoted.
Alderman Mullin said that the visit
was merely a social one, they having
been invited to look over their coll
leagues new place of business.
Alderman Leveen was indignant when
it was suggested hat the melting might
have some political significance, and de-
clared tina If 1t did, II was not in on tt.'
The aldermen were the men who sup
Nartal emmett IN hfo oo,1oI1S H0hf for
reelection for the presidency of Common
Council over Alderman Patrick H.
Ryan, of the Fifth Ward, and after
ward, when the committees were an
nounced, and it was found that there
had beer a number of changes, among
which was the deposing of Alderman
Holzner as chairman of h public
buildings committee, it was rumored
that the dissatisfied men had made
overtures to Eugene C. Meyer, leader
of the Republican minority, to aid them
in their fight to rescind the presidents
action.
The rumor had it that it was the in
tention of the Insurgents" with the
Republican votes, which would give
them the majority, to rescind the action
of the Common Council of 1908 in adopt
ing the rules Of 1907, giving h presi-
dent the power to appoint the commit
tees and amend it SO that the commit
tees would be chosen by majority vote
of Common Council. If the nine Re-
publican votes could have been secured
it is understood that the insurgents"
figured IN having enough Democratic
aldermen to make a majority, and the
committee list would have been mate
rally changed.
Alderman Holzner had a conference
with Alderman Meyer and Jerome T.
Congleton, and it is said that the con-
ference was to pave the way for an
other n between Alderman Sinnott
and the Republican leader, Meyer, but
after Mr.. Meyer declared that he "did
not see the use of washing Sinnott's
dirty linen the project fell through.
or at least has remained dormant since.
The men who met last night will
hold another meeting II the near
future and perfect plans for the build
ing and loan association" 1t is u

Who Know What to Do for Fallen Horse
A large crowd was gathered around
the Federal building this morning be-
cause a smaller crowd gathered in the
middle of the street to advise a team
ster how to get his fallen horse upon
it's feet. One of q team attached TO a
wagon bearing the name of William
Lockhart, 1913 South Eleventh street,
slipped, and it's mate began prancing
around, disarranging the harness. The
driver jumped from his seat, and was
doing his best to coax the animal on
it's four legs. The crowd was directing
him what to do when the driver failed
in his efforts. Some said the driver
was cruel, others that he was too easy,
and a third thought 1t might be a good
thing if the driver took the horses
shoes off and slapped his feet
Finally a policeman came along
and shouted "Giddap," and the white
horse stood up as II nothing had hap
pened. Then the wiser ones In the
small crowd faded away wondering
what had made such a fuss.

WOMAN IN OFFICE
There Have Been Many In
Kansas.

The appointment of Mrs. Lev
Cooper as probate Judge of Mitchell
county by Gov. Hoch and the dis,
cussions that resulted from this ap.
pointment have developed the fact
nearly every kind of offices in the
state except state offices has one or
more women occupants.
Mr.. Cooper is the only woman in
the state who is serving as probate
judge. However, there is one wo-
man county attorney in Kansas.
Miss Gala Heimline is serving her
third term as county attorney of
Seward county.
Western Kansas has had several
women county attorneys, but the
custom never appears to have be-
come popular in the eastern part of
the state. In Norton county Kate
Johnson has just completed a term
as county treasurer. There are half
a dozen or more county registers of
deeds in the state and probably
thirty county superintendent of
schools.
So far as known, there are no wo-
men in Kansas serving as clerks of.
the district courts or county COM
missioner. However, several have
served as mayors of cities. In sew
eral instances there have been wo-
men candidates for state superin-
tendent of public instruction, but
they were not elected.
The Socialists at their recent con-
vention in Topeka nominated a Gil
rard woman for state superintend-

HANGS UP NEW RECORD.
Giant Ship Has Kept Up Pace
of Is Knots ar Hour.

New York, May %. EARLY last
night there was every indication that
the Cunard liner Lusitania would
break all west-bound records.
The big steamer at $50 p. m,
passed the Nantucket lightship, &C
cording to a wireless message, and
at that hour was maintaining the
high average speed of 25 knots per
hour, which previous reports had
shown had been averaged ever since
her departure from Queenstown.
About 1913 miles remained to be
covered at that hour, a steaming
distance of seven and hree-auarters
hours for the fast liner. which should
bring her to the Sandy Hook light
ship at 1:45 a. m.
This would make the Lusitania's
time from Daunt's Rock four days,
nineteen hours and twelve minutes,
and would beat the same steamers
best record of exactly five days over
this, the long course, by four hours
and forty-eight minutes.
The Mauretania, sister ship, has
record over this course of just one
minute less than Lusitania's previous
best, and this will also be collapsed.
Tonight dense fog settled down
along the coast here, which will de-
lay the Lusitania somewhat, but
doubtless she will have a good mar
gin left to exceed all records.
