come into practice. A tiny, inside, hid

to the kidneys. When these INSIDE

The above request was made neces-
sary by the campaign made in this city
the past week by one Mrs. s j. Seeley.
a woman over 70 years of age, wearing
a Merry Widow hat, light waist, a
blue serge skirt and pleasant smile
and carrying a persuasive brand Of
conversation with her.
This woman has been soliciting funds
here for the aid of orphans. On COM
plant OF friends and officers Of the To-
peka Orphans home she was arrested
by two detectives Sunday evening and
brought to the police station and asked
for an explanation and her credentials.
She had no credentials from any
orphans home, declaring that she was
a free lance, and she gave a rambling
and ineoherent explanation of her aims
and her work.
She is q remarkable old woman.
One minute she will talk in an aim
less and disconnected manner and the
next she appears as shrewd and cum
ming as any professional solicitor.
She uses modern slang in her CONVEX
sation, but for all that does not ap-
pear to be a bad woman.
The police and the Orphans home
officials believe that she has been
grating the people of Topeka and
many other towns Of money that she
orphans as she claims. She first gave
her name as Mrs. Olmstead. She had
been engaged in this business. she
said. for 40 years, and appeared to
be prejudiced against ophans' homes.
saying she had always fought them.
She worked on her own book. The
only papers she had were in connec-
ton with the work of helping orphans
in Illinois 10 and 20 years ago. She
was released by the police last night
on her own recognizance and appeared
at the station promptly this morning
| She staid with the chief until noon and
enlivened the monotony of the morn
| ing hours at the city prison.
She told the chief that the Lord
| would stand between her and his pers-
ecution. 1t would appear tnat she was
right in her prediction. for no specific
charge was found against her and
she was allowed to go free.
| The president OF the Topeka Or
phans' home said today in connection
wifi hthe matter that she hoped that
no one in Topeka would give money to
any agent for an orphans home with
out first satisfying themselves that this
agent was what he or she represented
| themselves to be. All agents should
have and show their credentials when
soliciting funds.

PLATFORM LINES,
main Planks of Chicago Declare
ton Are Agreed Upon
At a Conference Held at the
White House.
ROOSEVELT POLICIES.
VIII Form Basis of Document
to Be Submitted.
Senator Long Was a Participant
In the Discussion.
ROOSEVELT POLICIES.

Cincinnati, o., June 2.-The planks
70 De presented for the Republican
hallonal convention at Chicago as de-
c1ded on at various conferences at the
white House are given in a Washing
ton special at the Times-Star as fol-
lows:
The Chicago platform will take adj
vance ground on the tariff, on control
OF trusts, amending of the Sherman
law, on the currency and on the aues-
tion OF limiting the power of injunc-
lions. 1t will stand squarely in other
regards on the policies which have
been the success of the Roosevelt adj
min1stration. In the rough it will be
drafted by Wade Ellis. attorney gen.
eral OF Ohio, who will return to Vir-
sinia Beach for that purpose tonight.
Such were among the decisions
reached at White House conference
last night There have been erron-
eous reports as to the identity of
those who attended that conference,
destined to be a historical one. The
accurate list is as follows:
President Roosevelt. Secretary Taft,
Secretary of the Interior Garfield, At
torney General Wade Ellis of Ohio.
Senator Long (Kansas), Senator Hop
kins of Illinois, Frank B. Kellogg.
national committeeman from Mime
sofa, Congressman Longworth Of Gin
cinnati and William Loeb, secretary
to the president.
There were additional confer
ences today, Attorney General Ellis
being again closeted with Secretary
Taft. Other conferences are to fol-
low.
At last nights White House meet
ing the entire subject was discussed.
The topics most exhaustively con-
sidered were the tariff, trusts, control
of the railroads, currency, the con-
servation of natural resources. i'm
proyement of waterways, Cuba, Pa
cific, the Philippines and the Panama
canal
The order in which these topics are
to be presented to the convention was
tentatively agreed upon, subject of
course to the approval of the resolu-
tions committee of the convention.
Attorney General Ellis presented a
plank providing for an amendment to
the Sherman law under the pro-
visions of which harmless agreements
among mercantile associations which
seek not to create monopolies or to
fix and control prices, but merely to
protect the legitimate channels OF
trade, will be allowed Such a pro-
vision would also exempt the harmless
acts of labor organizations.

himself on the west side

John McBee was driving cab very
rapidly on the left side of West Tenth
street the other night when he met
Chief Eaton, who was also driving on
that street. A collision seemed immi-

to get over on the right side of the
street. McBee shouted back: "Shut
your mouth" The chief turned his
buggy to intercept the driver, when
McBee discovered the identity of his
questioner and tried to get away, but
the chief blocked the way. McBee
