HENDERSON IN a DILEMMA.
Must Either Support His Family or
Go TO Jail.

Frank Henderson, Santa Fe shop
employe, has choice. He can either
go to Jail and serve a long sentence,
of support his family. He holds the
distinction of being the first victim of
the 1907 juvenile law which holds the
parent responsible for the minor chill
dren and their keep.
Henderson had a trial in probate
court Wednesday afternoon. His wife
and little children were present, and
his gallant defense was useless. With
tears in his voice he protested that he
had spent $5 on them children in the
past eleven months, further more had
given them kids money lots of times.
Why, he had given one of the smaller
ones as much as whole dime at one
dose-more than twice.
His wife supports herself by hard
work. She is now working as dish
washer at the Holiday hotel. and sup
porting the children, with the excep
ton of the eldest, a girl of Is, who
er. The children are bright looking
youngsters. and their mother wo
man worthy of better luck. She gets
the munificent sum of SO per week for
her labor, and keeps two of the chill
dren in school She also cares for a
two-year-old baby.
Mr.. Henderson was fined $500 and
costs. and is out on $500 bond. He
will be permitted to take his choice
between paying SIS per month to-
ward the support of his children and
serving out his fine in Jail.

KING JAMES FAVORITE.
Hildreth Horse Leads in Betting on
Metropolitan Handicap.

New York, May liking James, the
top weight entry of S. c. Hiidreth, was
the public favorite today for the Met
ropolitan handicap at the opening of
the New York racing season at Bel
mont park. The excellent performance
of King James at Los Angeles when
he carried 142 pounds and defeated
Roseben and Jack Atkin in 1:14 As for
six furIongs as we'll as reports that
the horse is in splendid condition, caus-
ed public sentiment to center on him.
Others of the Is entries. however, had
admirers and the crowd that started
early for the track in the perfect
weather of an ideal May day looked
for a stirring race.
Among the thoroughbreds expected to
give good account of themselves were
John E. Madden's Fayette, August Bel
mont Half Sovereign and James R.
Keene's Turncoat.
The interest of the public was divid-
ed between the probable performances
of the horses and speculation as to the
conditions which would govern bet
ting at the track. Under the recent
ruling of the appellate division of the
supreme court the bettors hold that
they may be permitted to make orals
bets freely provided no record is made
of them. To avoid the prosecution
which is feared in case the transfer of
money is too free bettors decided to
make their payments by enclosing the
money in sealed envelopes.

NO MORE WAR IN G. A. R.
But the Coney-Morgan Libel Suit
Hasn't Been Settled.

Members of the Coney faction of the
G. A. R. of Topeka, who returned from
the encampment today, claim the cleo
ton of j. H. Rickel as state comman-
der to be a defeat of Morgan and a
great victory for Coney In proof of
their claim that Coney has been sus-
tanned by the popular vote, they cite
one of Rickel's appointments-that of
Thomas Gresham, of Lincoln post No.
u, Topeka, as judge advocate general
Gresham held the same appointive
position under P. H. Coney when he
was state commander of the G.. A. R..
and is recognized as a bitter enemy
OF ex-Commander Morgan. The return
ing members of the Coney faction are
jubilant over results. They state that
q treaty of peace between Coney and
Morgan was framed at the encamp-
ment, but not until Morgan had re-
fused the nomination and his candidate.
Harmon. had withdrawn after the first
ba.Iot The treaty of peace is only an
agreement to refrain from using the

Coney is now pressing in the Shaw
nee county district court against ex-
Commander Morgan and four of his

Nathan Straus Says the Fight
Against tuberculosis
Has Been a Losing One in Great.
er New York.
GROWTH 33 PER CENT
LIN Number of Cases During the
Past Two Years.
Should Be Made a Crime to Sell
Diseased Milk.

Washington. May 1s.-That the
vigorous campaign against tubercuio-
SIS has failed to check the great white
plague was the startling charge made
today by Nathan Straus, the New York
philanthropist. at the fifth annual
meeting of the National association
Tor the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis
Mr Straus backed up his assertion
by official statistics from the New
York health department, showing an
increase of 33 per cent in two years in
cases of tuberculosis in the city that
DR.. Koch described as leading the
whole world in the fight against the
disease.
The reason for this failure to make
headway, Mr.. Straus declared, was the
neglect of the mischief wrought by the
tuberculosis dairy COW. Citing the re-
suits of scientific investigation and
his own is years of experience in saw
ing lives, he summed up by saying
that the abolition of tuberculosis
would begin when it was made a
crime to sell milk unless it came from
tuberculon-tested cows or those which
had been properly pastuerized.

promote happiness. normal physical de-
velopment and the moral, intellectual
and social education of the inmates.
A request was made for some better
form of celebration of national holidays.
The nation was advised to replace the
senseless noise and danger of July 4th
and the disorder of New Years eve.
A plan was suggested whereby festi-
Vals like May day and Thanksgiving
might be made the object of varied
ard correlated industrial occupations as
well as-the incentive to practice folk
dancing, choral singing and dramatic
and literary expression.

New York. May 13.-William E
Corey, president of the United States
Steel corporation, sailed today on
vacation trip to Europe. He was a
passenger on the steamer La Provence

Mr.. Corey spoke optimistically of
steel conditions and declared that with
an early tariff adjustment and average
crops speedy return of prosperity
might be expected.
Since the early part of March," said
Mr.. Corey, there has been a gradual
and well sustained improvement in the
steel industry in general and this i'm
provement has been particularly
noticeable in the companies of the
United States Steel corporation. We
are working on a 20 per cent basis of
normal capacity-the highest since Oc-
tober, 1907. This improvement is due
to natural and healthy demand for
steel products. There has also been

Man Who Spent Years and Fortune
Trying to Build One.

New York. May 13.-Dr. Thomas
Rainey who spent 25 years of his life
and his entire fortune of 100000 in
the vain effort to bridge the East
river, yesterday quietly left his home
in Lexington avenue, clad in house
coat. slippers and skull cap and sur
veyed the new giant Greensboro
bridge. From it the white haired
man of IS years saw the crumbling
foundations of the bridge which he
had started thirty years ago. He
stopped frequently in walking across
the bridge and told policemen and
others many of whom had never
heard of him or his bridge about his
undertaking and how he had lost his
fortune. Before DR.. Rainey had re-
turned to his home, he had been
missed and as he had not left the
house for years. except with a com
panion, his relatives were searching
for him.
It is now proposed to commemorate
DR.. Rainey's original bridge project
with a tablet on the new bridge, to
be unveiled at the official opening
ceremonies next month.
