SUIT Is SENSATIONAL
Action Against Ex-Mayor Green of
Startling Nature.

The breach of promise suit bl ought
by Selma Dalrympfe against William
Green, former mayor of Topeka, was
filed late Saturday afternoon in the
district court of Shawnee county. The
petitioner, who is a niece of the late
wife of Mr.. Green, made her home in
Topeka between the months of No
vember, 1903. and January, 1910, dur
ing which time she lived at the Green
home at 921 Quincy street, where the
ex-mayor resides with his son, Albert
L. Green. During that time she was
employed sa bookkeeper in the Green
grocery store on Kansas avenue.
The petition filed in the district
court is sensational. Miss Dalrymple,
who is SO years of age, was a school
teacher in Belleville, Wis, until last
says her move was a result of the
continued and affectionate solicitation
of Mr.. Green, who promised her a
home and lucrative position here. She
came after a final conference in Chi
cago. At the time of her arrival. No
vember Z, 1909, Mr.. Green met her at
the train, saluting her with kisses and
affectionate demonstration, so she says.
On the second night of her stay in
the Green home, she alleges, Mr..
Green entered her room against her
protest. and on several other occasions
did the same thing. She alleges that
she received his promise to make her
his wife but the breaking down of her
health caused him to break his
promise.
On January % she alleges she left
Topeka and is now living in Chicago.
She asks $4,000 for breach of prom
Use and $4,000 for physical injuries
and damage to health and feelings.
Mr.. Green will not discuss the case.

ANNE MORGAN MAY WE'D.
Son of Don Carlos, Spanish Pretender.
the Man.

Paris, June ga "set'' in Paris is
discussing the probability of an engage
ment between Don Jaime, son of Don
Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish
throne, and Miss Anne Morgan of New
York, daughter of ]. P. Morgan, the
financier.
1t is difficult and perhaps a little pre-
mature to get confirmation of this
fact, but it is known that Don Jainss
and Miss Morgan have met and are
very congenial. Their first meeting
took place at the Villa Trianon, at Vere
sailles, the summer home of Miss Elsie
DeWolf and Elizabeth Marbury. Miss
Morgan is friend of these young wo-
men and an annual visitor at Yer
sailles. 1t was at one of their "at
homes" that Miss Morgan met the
prince. This dashing cavalry officer is
said to have been struck with the in
tellectual and philanthropic youn g
American. On the other hand, no wo-
help admiring this handsome prince,
who is related to the oldest royal fam
lily Of Europe and who, according to
the Salic law, would be on the throne
of Spain today.
Anne Tracy Morgan is the only I'M
married daughter Of ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, and has been characterized as the
only one of his children who is as in
teresting as their mighty and famous
father. She is practical, level-headed
young woman, with common sense, in
domitable will and energy.
NJ Ular, editor of LIE Petit Journal IF
Paris, said that Miss Morgan was the
"only woman of real intelligence"
whom he met on visit to the United
States, and characterized all other
American society women as "self-con-
scious,'' "graceless'' and "firtatious."
Miss Morgan visited at the home of
William Allen White in Emporia, Kan,
last April where she met Govern or
Stubs, who described her as an Gin
surgent'' and square dealer" On
her return to New York she stopped in
Chicago, and, after taking a whole
floor in the Congress hotel and placing
q corps of private detectives to watch
her rooms, she visited Hull House, the
University of Chicago settlement ard
the Federation of Labor headquarters

used. The following spring it was
found that the frost had Clipped a
great part of the pier and that much
of the native rock was unfit. Accord
ingly this was replaced with the Cot
tonwood stone from Emporia and the
old material was thrown around the
pier foundation.
Since that time the pier has been
covered up and new land has been
made to the north of the stone work.
This spring when the excavation for
the new pier pit was made the scoop
shovel struck the discarded stone
from the original pier besides much
other material. In addition water
had been struck and kept coming in
the excavation requiring the constant
work of the steam pump to keep it
down. Then came the recent rainy
weather and operations had to be sus-
pended. When work was resumed the
laborers were forced to work in water
above their knees if any thing was
done. AS the water was being pump
ed out, the pieces of stone would clog
up the opening of the suction pipe,
causing many troublesome delays.
However, since the sand has been
reached, this substance will easily
pass through the pipes with the water
and in a few days it is thought that
the pit will be deep enough to begin
driving the piling. One hundred and
twenty-one piles will be used. Each
will be thirty feet long and driven
fifteen or sixteen feet into the ground.
Thus a core will be formed which will
be filled with cement and concrete for
the foundation of the pier.
