WOMEN BANKERS IN KANSAS.

K Kansas is notable for something
besides insurgency. The state is great

The chief clerk says the women in
the banking business never take
chances on anything that seems to in
volve a possible violation of the law.
They allow no overdrafts. They do
not allow their reserves to get below
the limit. We all know that there are
many men bankers who are not pune

the banks managed by women are in

Hutchinson Women Will Meet anG

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. 9.-The
Hutchinson w. c. T. U. women will
at their regular melting Wednesday
afternoon consider a resolution CON
demning Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long
worth, and other prominent women, for
indulging in cigarettes.
Such resolution, it is stated, will be
introduced in the union,, and Mrs. w.
H. Lewis, president of the organization,
said today that she thought there was
no doubt but what it would be passed.
1t is intended to send a copy of the
resolution direct to Mrs. Longworth at
her home in Cincinnati. Similar ac-
ton is being taken by the w. c. T. u.
and women's organizations in all parts
of the country, and it is said such pro-
tests are pouring in on Theodore
Roosevelt's daughter by the thous-
ands.

Ottawa Woman Thinks Husband
Innocent Of Crime.
Visits Man Held in Hutchinson
on Murder Charge.
GOES TO COUNTY JAIL
Says She Will Think Logan Not
Guilty ii Convicted.
Later Declares That if He Is
Guilty He Is Insane.

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. 9.-Crazed by
grief and believing her husband to he
innocent of the charge of numbering
VIII Miller near Great Bend ten days
ago, Mrs. Logan, wife of H. c. Logan,
called on him at the county Jail. They
met in solemn embrace and held each
other so for several minutes. Each
showed signs of the despair and mis-
fortune. Mrs. Logan cried aloud and
tears came from his eyes.
They conversed under the scrutiny of
Ja1lor j. E. hurry for an hour when
Ja1lor hurry announced that the con-
ference at that time must end. They
embraced each other. Logan was led
away and locked up. Mrs. Logan is
petit, but appears to be much younger
than her husband. She was plainly
dressed and showed excellent Judgment
in her conversation with her husband
and with the representatives of the
press, after he was led away. She
shows refinement and good training
Mrs. Logan believes her husband ir,-
nocent of the crime and asserted so
strongly. She also said that she would
continue to believe him innocent even
though he is convicted by jury. She
finally admitted that she believed that
he was insane if he had committed
such a crime, although she asserted
that he had never been insane. She
asserted that it was feared that he
would become mentally deranged more
than a year ago when their son was
dangerously ill, and was not expected
to recover, but his condition improved
as soon as the boy began to recover
from his illness.
Logan was employed as an organizer
for the Fraternal Aid association but
quit that because engaged with other
men in making cement blocks for
building purposes. He left his home
June 81 and went to Colorado and then
back to Great Bend. The wife had
communicated with him and knew of
his whereabouts. She said that in their
correspondence he had not intimated
that he was depressed or that he was
in financial straits, or anything else to
cause him to become morose.
He has communicated with one of
the leading criminal attorneys in OF
tawa and asked him to conduct his
case Mrs. Logan said that her nus
band has made up his mind to waive
his preliminary hearing and thought
that he would make efforts to employ
counsel to hunt up evidence TO defend
him in the district court. She ex-
pressed a wish that he get change of
venue, that the case might be heard in
a district where there is no III feeling
against him.
