WILL SETTLE 1T TONIGHT
Question of closing Streets Near San
ia Fe Shops

Tonight a battle is scheduled be-
tween the city and Santa Fe officials
and it will be a real battle-each side
will be we'll supplied with the neces-
sary appliances. Deeds. papers, plats
and blue prints viii fly thick and fast.
A few weeks ago the Santa Fe ask
ed the city to vacate Walnut, Linn
Elm and Ash streets just east of the
shops. The alleys between these
streets were also demanded by the
company and as a return of the COM
pliment they said that in the future
they intended to build on this site and
of course building would be a great
thing for the city of Topeka.
When the people living out beyond
the shops heard of this request of the
Santa Fe they rose in rebellion. Pc
cry source. The people passed
around immense manuscripts. The
nurserymen and farmers living out
near Oakland attached their sigma
lures. The wholesale dealers down on
lower Kansas avenue signed the pc
titions. There were hundreds of names
on these petitions when they came in
to the council and all of them asked
that the Santa Fe be required to open
through the grounds and into the
heart of the wholesale district down
near First street. They informed the
city that if the Santa Fe was allowed
the streets in question it would mean
that the only way to get to the ship
ping points and wholesale houses in
this city would be to take a. long
else cross the Sardou bridge and come
in through North Topeka.
The petitions will be considered at
the conclave tonight.

ALL LIES HE SAYS
LeaVitt, Bryan's SOn-in.Law,
Denies Every Allegation
Made in His Wife'S Petition for
a Divorce.
SENDS $4,000 A YEAR.
He Declares to Maintain Her
and the Children.
He Will Leave Paris for Lincoln
This Week.
NDS $4,000 A YEAR.

Paris, Feb. S.-William H. Leavitt,
the artist, saw for the first time today
the charges made against him by his
wife, Ruth Bryan Leavitt. in her suit
for divorce, as outlined in dispatches
from Lincoln, Neb. Leavitt therein
IS described as an improvident bo-
hemian and it is said that Mr.. Bryan
found his daughter and the children
in absolute want in Denver
The description of Leavitt as a boz
henian amuses his friends in Paris.
Ever since his marriage he has kept
up studio at Newport, where his
wife refused to live. fearing that her
residence in the city of millionaires
might injure her fathers political
chances for the presidency. In Paris
he moves in the best social and ar
tistic circles
He said today:
Every one of the charges given out
from Lincoln are lies and Ruth's let
ters to me and her fathers prove it.
l intend to contest this suit and they
may be sure that 1 will fight to the
end. One thing 1 must say is that I
don't think the suit was brought by
Ruth of her own free will. There is
undue influence on the part of others.
/ understand perfectly well that am
going into fight in which the odds

brought in Nebraska.
Expects to Get Justice.
For a lawyer Ruth has her uncle,
Allen. who is chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee, and his
partner, Talbot, who holds a similar
position on the Republican state
committee. But 1 shall get justice in
the end.
Il see that they have dropped the
charge of desertion. That is we'll, for
they knew that it would not stand for
a moment in the face of the evidence
/ have. The charge of nonsupport is
another baseless lie. It is a lie too
that Mr.. Bryan ever found Ruth in
want in Denver. She always had mon
ey from me, and on January 81, sent,
as usual, her six months allowance,
draft on the Franco-Arnerican bank of
Paris for $500. The Lincoln statement
says they do not know my address so
they had to serve notice by publica-
tion. This is another falsehood. Ruth
wrote me weekly. Bryan wrote and
even Allen had my address when he
wrote me asking me to consent to
snapshot divorce. My witnesses from
Denver and New Orleans will give
very different account of this matter.
81 say nothing against Ruth. Until

PART 2.
(By +. Lewis.)


We have chosen Iowa for this letter.
Iowa is also a model State once a Prohibi-
ton State, somewhat after the manner of
ner sister Kansas. 1t almost corners with
Kansas
We will include Missouri. which com
pletely joins on the eastern end of Kansas,
and whose people are much Ike these of
Kansas but was never a Prohibition State.
We want 20 show the reverend gentleman
that his enc Sunday School attendant in 500
conv'cts is not enough to salt the platter,
nor will it convince intelligent people that
the statement is true.
We will use United States and State sta
tistics. which are authorized hv both State
and Nation.

That makes POP Christisns TO 23S non
Christians. That makes 26 mere than one
half that are non-Christians, but we want to
take into consideration that the United
States Census Statistics gives Iowa but 1912
per cent of her population Christians,
yet that less than one-fourth Of her popula
ton furnishes nearly half of her con
victs
