IT WAS JESSIE HARRIS.
She Is Woman With Scar Who Helped
Rob Hughes.

The mysterious woman with the scar
on her face, which scar was declared
by Thomas Hughes, Welchman, to
mark the negro woman who assisted
Laura Wisdom to rob him the other
night. has been found in the person of
Jessie Harris of local police fame.
Officers who are experts on the per-
sonnet of the negro districts, when they
heard Hughes testify that the woman
had a great scar on the face, thereby
releasing Leona Shepherd. arrested on
the charge. from custody. went i'm
mediately to the house of Jessie whom
they know as the only woman so I'M
fortunate notwithstanding the untold
scrapes all have been in.
The Harris woman, who is still
young, received her distinguishing
mark some five years ago when she
quarreled with another colored miss
about priority rights to the love of a
certain young man. The question was
settled by razor's keen blade. Jessie
was arrested at that time but released
to die at the advice of a physician and
the entire police force But she would
not expire. Her mother rescued her by
constant attention.
1t is expected the forthcoming trial
will establish her schedule of opera
tons for the next several years.

AND WHITE, TOO.
Lays Blame for Higher Taxes on HOch
Administration.

William Allen White. in an editorial
in his Emporia Gazette under the head
ing, Same Old Came" takes the regu-
lars of the Republican party in Kansas
to task for jumping on to the Stubbs
administration in the matter of the in
crease in state taxes. Mr.. White. like
the governor himself. lays the blame
for higher taxes upon the Hoch ad-
ministration. The editorial is fol-
lows:
1.-The machine is at it's old game
the same old game that has engaged
its activities for half decade-the
game of licking Stubs. The fellows
Mort and Bill and Charley and Harry
and Orrie and Chester-same old gang,
same old game. 1t has put them out
of office, and if they keep it up, 1t will
keep them out of Office. Stubs in and
of himself might possibly not be half
so far in Kansas politics as he is If
his enemies had left him alone. But
ii looks SO easy to lick Stubbs, and
every year the moths fly in the flame.
"This million dollar tax increase
looks plausible. 1t sounds as though
it would work. So did all the other
games; but they didn't.
''Stubbs didn't increase the taxes,
the legislature did it. because the
state auditor and the tax commission
asked for the increase to cover a de-
felt made in the Hoch administration;
it was an entirely honest deficit. There
was no mismanagement. But in order
to lick Stubbs, the machine. the
same old gang at the same old game,
is hitting the old trail. They think
they can fool the people. But they
never have fooled the peOple-nOt
long. And in the end, Stubs, who
might die a natural political death if
they would let him alone-Stubbs is
regenerated by his enemies.
What a monkey a man makes of
himself when he acts according to
his judgment, and not his convic-
TONS"
Mr. White makes the English Ian
guage bend as prettily as a field of
growing grain under a summer breeze,
but even his magic array of words fail
in the logic of successfully placing
blame of the higher state taxes upon
the Hoch administration.
Each incoming administration finds
certain unpaid debts left by it's prede-
cessor. Governor Hoch found them,
but he did not have to lay the blame
for higher taxes upon the shoulders of
Bailey.
If Governor Hoch left debts. he also
collected old war claims in the sum
total of a half million to balance these
debts. This money was turned over to
Governor Stubs.
State Auditor Nation, is his explana-
ton of the deficit. did not place the
blame with the Hoch regime.
Mr.. White plants beautiful words in
waste places and they cover them like
flowers, but the plain and unsightly
facts and figures can be found still by
looking beneath the blossoms.

MILLS RESIGNS.

Plan Of Government.
Pamphlets to BE Printed and

w. W. Mills, president of the new
Topeka Commercial club which has
put so much public spirit and enter
prise into Topeka during the past
year. has resigned.
Mr.. Mills expresses deep regret that
he finds it necessary to give up the
work which he much enjoyed He
finally came to a decision after much
elaboration due to the warning of his
doctors that in consideration of his re-
sent serious illness it would not do to
load up with a great amount of work
ut this time.
The Com marcial club has prospered
under the administration of Mr.. Mills
and it will be with great regret that
his resignation will be accepted The
list of the things which the organiza-
ton has accomplished during the past
few months which was printed for use
during the membership campaign is elo-
uuent testimony of the worth to the
club of the resigning president and
the four able secretaries and direc-
tors who have done much of the
work.
The regular annual meeting of the
Commercial club at which officers are
elected will not take place for sixty
days. and it is generally understood
tina no action Will be taken toward
electing new president until that
time. w. c. Stephenson, the able vice
president chosen by the directors for
just such an emergency, will now be-
come president of the club for the re-
mainder of the term.
Mr.. Stephenson is one of the most
active Topeka citizens, and has the
city's welfare close to heart. He has
had large experience In affairs of
Kansas and the capital city, having
ably served as a member of the leg
islature, in the city council and in
many positions of trust. He is well
fitted to take up the unfinished work
of Mr.. Mills.
1t has been known that Mr.. Mills de-
sired to resign. as he felt that on ac-
count of his recent illness that he
should not longer undertake to fill the
7fice Of president. even during the
short portion of his time remaining
while the work has been a great pleas

learned that it was the intention Of

CUT IN SALARIES.
Reduction of 10 Per cent Agreed Up
on for All Chicago Employees.

Chicago, Oct. IA cut Of 10 per
cent in salaries of all officials and
employees of this city from Mayor
Busse's $4,000, down to the Iowliest
laborer has been agreed upon by the
mayor and department heads 1t was
learned today. for next year.
This drastic measure was made
necessary by the simple fact that
Chicago has not enough money to
maintain the payroll at it's normal
level. The pay roll last year
approximated $15, 100000.
The cut before becoming effective
must be sanctioned by the city coun-
ell. where a big hight against 1t is ex-

gan a series of organ recitals, which
took him to nearly every city of any

Boston Mr.. Buck became organist at
st. PauPs and later took charge of
the great organ at Music Hall. Some
years afterward he moved to Brook
Ign, where he became organist of the
Holy Trinity church and conductor

just such emergencies.
At a meeting of the municipal legis-
latiOn committee of the Commercial
club reports from the members indica-
ted that work has begun in earnest in
connection with the campaign for the
promotion of the commission plan of
city administration, and it was the con-
fident hope of the meeting that within
a week the question will be the chief
topic of conversation on the streets.
Big and Little Meetings.
James A. Troutman was chosen as
committee and he has expressed his
intention of arranging for a big public
mass meeting to be held at the Audi
torium. F. Snyder will make ar
meetings in convenient Places and S.
f. Watkins will attend to securing
speakers for meetings in the negro dis
tricts of the city. 1t appears that a
gatherings be held for educating the
voters in regard to the commission
plan.
The publicity subcommittee held a
meeting and definite plans were formu-
lated in respect to the distribution of
literature giving the facts in regard
to the new plan of municipal rule. This
committee will probably authorize
the printing of pamphlets something
similar to those issued in Kansas City
on July %. which give data relating to
the plan and answering all possible OBJ
jections.
The idea is to distribute this Htera-
ture among the homes in the districts,
one man in each precinct to be in
{ charge of two boys who will be paid to
leave the pamphlets at the doors.
Ten thousand double column dodgers
will be printed showing in one column
the facts of the present system and in
the other the commission plan.
