MUST GO TO OHIO.
Louis Simonson Had One Wife Too
Many.

The requisition for the return to
OhioI of Louis Simonson was honored
Tuesday by Governor Hoch.
Sirhonson is in Jail at Abilene. He
is wanted in Ohio for bigamy. Mrs.
Simdnson No. 2, who was Mary Wells,
is said to be at Solomon. The officers
left for Abilene with. their requisition
Tuesday evening, and will start back
to Ohio with their rsman today
MIS-. Simonson No. 1 was here and
attended the hearing in Governor
Hoch's Office. She was accompanied by
an attorney, and by clergyman from
New York state, which is her home.
She sclaims to have married Simonson
ten years ago, and she had the mar
riage certificate to prove it. Simonson's
attorney was present to resist the re-
Quisition, and claimed that the alleged
wharfage shown in the certificate had
not taken place; that Simonson mere
ly lived with the woman as a common
law wife. It is not denied that Simon
son was married about two years ago
to the second woman, Mary Wells, and
that they have a child is also admit
ted.
The county attorney of Dickinson
county was present, and stated that he
preferred that the requiSitiOn should
be honored as all the evidence in the
case would have to be obtained back
in Ohio and that while Simonson could
be tried in Dickinson county for the
offense, it would save the state of
Kansas a good deal in court costs to
send the man back to Ohio.

TO OWN ITS WATER PLANT.
The Kansas City. Kan, Council Has
Paved the Way.

Kansas City, Kan, April S.-The pee
pie of Kansas City, Kan, are to own
the waterworks as quickly as con-
demnation proceedings can be made to
acquire the holdings Of the Metropoli-
tan Water company. The first decisive
step toward a better water supply was
taken by the city council last night,
when a motion was carried instructing
the city counselor to institute con-
demnation proceedings.
The action was taken following the
reading Of a report by Mayor Cornell,
chairman of the committee appointed
to confer with officials Of the company
regarding the purchase of the plant.
Mayor CornelPs, report follows:
THE water committee appointed by
the mayor to confer with officials of
the Metropolitan Water company re-
garding the purchase Of the plant by
the city, asks that the council take
immediate action to acquire the prop
erty by condemnation under the pro-
visions Of the enabling act passed by
the legislature year ago"
T. ]. Lyons, councilman from the
Sixth ward, moved that the counselor
be instructed to bring condemnation
proceedings at once. The motion was
carried unanimously.

Shortly before noon today the court
reached snag in the easy settlement

of bee" Adams and Joanna Adams,
his wife, was called, their attorney ad-
vised them to take a plea of guilty on
done. But the Adamses were not quit
ters, and forced a trial, which is In
progress this afternoon.
The Adamses got new trial during
the January term, as the result of
Winfield Eaton, chief Of police. and
F. G. Drenning, city attorney. The
case was on appeal from the police
court and the chief and city attorney
distinguished themselves by hiding
some evidence which was favorable to
the defendants. The pair of officials
were severely reprimanded by the
court and the defendants granted a
new trial.
The May Buckmaster manslaughter
case will probably occupy the next
place on the list. May Buckmaster, a
woman of very shady reputation, had
the misfortune to kill a friend named
Addie Kyle with a beer glass. 1t is
generally conceded that Mrs Buck
master was trying to throw the glass
at her husband, Frank Buckmaster,
but with the proverbia1 false aim Of a
woman, struck her friend Mrs. Kyle,
causing her death.

SHORTAGE IN COTTON.
Made Basis of Appeal to Plant Less in
the South.

Atlanta, Ca, April SIN a signed
statement to the farmers of the south
issued today, Harvie Jordan, president
of the Southern Cotton association,
urges reduction in cotton acreage of
33 per cent. Unless this is done, he
says, prices will be low next fall. Mr..
Jordan also urges growers to hold to
what remnants of cotton they have.
His statement says in part:
with shortage in the worlds sup
ply of cotton amounting to 100000
bales, due to bad seasons last year,
the price Of spot cotton continues to
go steadily down. American mills have
been for some time curtailing the
manufacture of cotton goods, due to
trade depression and the condition Of
the foreign trade is none too bright at
the present time. If the same acreage
is planted in cotton this year that was
planted in 1907, and followed by good
seasons in America, India and Egypt,
the growers will find but little or no
profit in the harvest next fall"

hampered by a shortage of jurors. In

Chicago, April S.=Executive Of
fcers of the Orders of Railway Con-

Trainmen will meet with the General
Managers association to consider the
provisions of the new 16 hour work

that if the general managers will con-
cede some of the changes demanded
the law will operate without friction,
otherwise trouble might be expected,
either from strikes or legislation ask
ing the repeal of the law.
