When this bill, S. B. No. 497, came up
for consideration in committee of the
whole Senator Milton, of Wyandotte,
sought to have it amended by making
it apply to the wife who abandons her
husband without good cause. He made
a vehement and impassioned argu-
ment in support of his amendment, de-
claring that whenever woman deserts
a faithful husband and their children,
she makes herself a felon and she
should be treated as such.
Senators Hamilton and Robertson
opposed the amendment and declared
that it would permit some worthless,
brute of a husband to so conduct him
self that his wife would desert him and
she could then be punished as felon.
Senator Robertson thought such an
amendment contrary to public policy
and good morals
Senator Price explained that the bill

withdraw his amendment.
The bill was finally recommended for
passage just as it was reported from
the committee on judiciary.
The following bills were recommended
for passage by the senate committee of
the whole:
H B. No. II. By Feder-To prohibit

claims of newspaper circulation, and to

mended for passage subject to amend
ment and debate.
One of the important bills of public
interest passed by the senate is s. B.
No. 538, introduced by Senator Chap-
man of Barton county. This bill pro-
vides for state regulation and control
of rates ON fire insurance, subject
which has been much discussed by
business men and property holders
throughout the state.
Each fire insurance company is re-
quired to file with the state superin-
tendent of insurance schedules show
ing the rates on all classes of risks
insurab1e by the company. Changes
in schedules are not allowed excepting
after ten days notice to the superin-
tendent of insurance. When that Off
ciaI determines that any rate is either
excessive or too low, he is author
lied to order the company to file
higher or lower rate. Insurance
companies will not be permitted to do
business in the state unless they shall
have filed schedules of rates as pro-
vfded Rebates and discrimination in
rates are forbidden.

Byrne Thacher, son of Mrs. Flor
ence Fox Thacher, we'll known as an
instructor in voice culture here in To-
peka, has a baritone voice of excellent
quality and his capability as an actor
has been we'll known since he sang his
role of Tom the cobbler, in "The
College Chaperones" at the Grand last
May. Owing to the lateness of the
season when this opera was produced
many of the regular theater going
class of people did not see it and
therefore missed the chance of hear
ing several fine singers in solo work.
Mr.. Thacher is one of Topeka's young
er singers and many who have not
heard him may have the chance to do
so Thursday evening the 25th at the
Grand, in his present revised and en-
larged role of dTom'' the college chap
