STARVING LITTLE ONES.
Humane Officer Finds Case of Shame
full Neglect.

Humane Officer K. W. King was call
ed upon Wednesday afternoon by City
Court Marshal Wintrode, to take
charge of two small children, aged
about and Q years They were the
children of j. W. Lowry laborer, who
has been living at 534S Lawrence street.
King has placed the children temper
to have the father arrested for failure
to take care Of them.
Lowry works for John Maxwell, con-
tractor, and receives 80 per week, but
takes no care Of his wife or children,
according to the report Of Mr.. King
The case was called to his attention by
the city court officer, who went to the
gundthal agent for the property, has
not received any rent from the Lowrys
for long time, and finally secured
ejectfnent papers. When the officer went
to the house he found it in such con-
dition that he refused to remove the
few household effects until the children
could be cared for, and called on Mr..
King. The babies, who were only part
ly clothed in the worst of rags seemed
too i'll and weak to make any outcry.
although they were nearly frozen. There
was neither fire nor food in the place.
Humane Officer King. and his sister
Miss King, have been caring for abused
children until their home in North To-
peka frequently resembles founding
asylum. Only few days ago they took
charge Of two babies, cousins of the lit
tie ones taken yesterday, who were left
in similar condition by their parents.
In the present instance, Mr.. King is
determined to cause the. punishment of
Lowry the father. The mother is said
to be irresponsible, owing to illness and
mistreatment. f--,zssis u -.tfE2 s1,

He NEEDS ten MILLIONS
Cortelyou Tells the Banks They Must
Fork Over.

washington, Jan. 81. Pierpont
Morgan and Secretary Cortelyou had
another conference here. Coincident
with this, announcement 1t became
known that the treasury has called
again upon the banks, this time for 10
million of the government deposits.
Mr. Morgans visit is believed to have
had something to do with this treas
ury demand for money and also with
the rumor that Secretary Cortelyou
has been offered the presidency of
financial institution in New York.
Mr. Cortelyou would say nothing
about either matter and Mr.. Morgan
left for New York.
The treasury situation is OCCASION
ing some concern. OF the million
recently obtained from the banks,
million was expended on account of
the canal, million for pensions and
1 million for postoffice department
expenditures. Now the postoffice de-
partment has made requisition for
2 million dollars, which can not be
put off and in addition disbursing Off
GERS are calling for u million dol
lars to carry on government work.
The receipts continue to fall far be-
low the expenditures. The deficit for
today amounted to $S95,000. The
working balance Is again down to
million dollars, considerable less than
the actual demands already made
upon it. There has been no public
announcement of the call for money,
but Secretary Cortelyon has notified
some of the banks that they must
furnish it.

AFTER JOHNsON'S SCALP
Local Branches of Labor Unions Join
the Walker Movement.

Indications are that the labor unions
of the state are cooperating with ken
~ NJ. Walker to accomplish the de-
struction of the State Society OF LABOR
and Industry. The object seems to be
not SO much to destroy the society, as
1t is to destroy w. L. A. Johnson, the
secretary. A certain faction OF the Ia
Dor unions have been trying Tor years
to take Johnson's scalp in the society
OF labor conventions, and have failed
in their fight. They are now fighting
johnson through the American Fedora
ton of Labor movement. which is fos-
tered in Kansas by Henry M. Walker.
The State Society of Labor and In
dustry has been doing business for
about ten years, and under Labor Com
missioner Johnson's administration has
greatly increased in scope and eff1ci-
ency. It is now in position to render
some really valuable services to the la
boring men of Kansas. The legislature
appropriates 81, 400 a year for the sup
port of this department. Its work is
to see that labor laws are enforced, to
inspect factories, enforce the child Ia
Dor law, and collect and compile sta
tistics concerning the laboring interest
of the state. The office of secretary of
the bureau pays s., 600 a year. and indi-
cations are that somebody wants this
job. 1-et.
Last night two more Topeka labor
unions voted to withdraw from the
State Society of Labor and Industry.
These are the Topeka Electrical union
and the Cigar Makers union.
Cigar Makers union No. SO last night
adopted this reolution:
whereas, The State Society of La
Dor and Industry through its secretary.
w. L. A. johnson, has just issued the
call for election of delegates to the an
nual state convention which means in
February; and. ee-4.- $50.
whereas, Cigar Makers union No.
SO has been affiliated with the state
society almost since its organization,
and as we have not derived any bene-
fits, and knowing, as we do, that the
society is not truly a representative Ia
Dor union. organization, inasmuch as
the State Society of Labor, through It's
state officers, allows permits and en-
courages artisans of one craft to repre-
sent unions of another craft in dele
gate state conventions-coal miners to
represent cigar makers, and boiler
makers to represent unions of which
they never were members, ETC.; there
fore, ..
Resolved, That Cigar Makers union
No Sc has no confidence in the State
Society of Labor and Industry and
therefore refuses to elect delegates to,
or pay any more per capita tax Tor, the
support of said State Society of Labor
and Industry"
Similarly the Topeka Electrical Work
ers' union No. 225 adopted resolution
saying that they had no confidence In
the state society and it's officers, and
refused to elect delegates or pay more
per capita tax for the support Of the
state society. T..

Sponsler of Hutchinson responded on
behalf of the delegates. Il feel with
the delegates assembled here the loss
of the presence of the secretary of
"He is the pride of Kansas and the
nation as we'll and it is to him that the
credit is due for the popularity of
this board and the worldwide value
of its reports.
"Mr. Coburn does not want greater
honors. He would not be governor
of the great state of Kansas and when
the position of United States senator
was rendered him on golden plat
ter he refused to listen to the song
of the tempter. He is satisfied with
his position as secretary of this
board for it is this place which has
brought him honor and renown."
Peter Shiras. vice president of the
Peoples Bank of Ottawa read paper
on the Relation of the Farmer to the
Banker having graduated from the
farm into full fedged banker; the
subject was handled from both stand
points. It is evident that Mr.. Shfras
is not an enthusiastic supporter OF the
proposed banking law. at is going
to be the law from all indications at
the present time" said Mr.. Shiras.
"but it Is rather humiliating to bank
ers OF experience because 1t places
them on the same plane with the man
who has no experience whatever"

ternoon the following committees
