SET HAIR ON FIRE.
Gertrude Elliott Makes Ugly
Charges Against Husband.
Tells Court He Drank and Beat
Her.
GRANTED A DIVORCE.
Also Given Custody Of the Two
Children.
Mrs. Jas. III. Grant Says Spouse
Went Joy Riding.
RANTED A DIVORCE.

On the witness stand today Gertrude
Elliott told Judge Dana how George
B. Elliott came home drunk, set her
hair afire threatened her life, beat her
and their 3-year-old child and made
life unbearable by teaching the baby
to swear. Mrs. Elliott received a di-
vorce, one-half the property and $40 a
month alimony.
The EIliotts were married in May.
1906. Elliott. who has a good position
with the Santa Fe, owns a home at 2S1
Madison street in addition TO two
horses, a buggy, piano and considerab BILE
furniture. But the wife testified that
these advantages didn't offset her hus-
bands uneven disposition. On several
occasions, she said the husband slap
ped her. One day he struck 3-year- old
Dorothy Maxine Elliott, the older of the
two children. The blow knocked the
child down.
When Dorothy Mexine was old enough
to talk, her first baby prattle was
curse words which the child had heard
the father use. When the wife COM
planned, the husband called her n dog.
One night Elliott came home drunk.
The wife said he broke a number of
glasses and set fire to the lace curtains
in the home When she extinguished
the blaze, Elliott set fire to his wifes
hair. 1t was midnight and the woman
escaped from the house and ran TO The
home of a neighbor, where she got
help. Elliott didn't deny these charges
and made no defense. His attorney
objected strenuously, however, when
Judge Dana decided that alimony'
should be paid from the date of the
separation. Mrs. Elliott received the
custody of the two children one aged
s years, the other Is months. The
father may spend two hours with the
children each Sunday.
Because he took other women buggy
riding and on auto trips and coutrib1-
ted but 1915 for the support of his
family, Mary E. Grant was given a
divorce from James H Grant, SuperJn-
tendent of the Topeka Laundry com
pany. Grant earns $50 a week, al
though there have been but three weeks
of their married nfesNvhen the husband
brought home as much as SIS of his
pay check
Mrs. Grant told the court that she
was compelled to sew and earn enough
money to pay the gas and light bills
Grant gave his wife from 81 to $3.75 q
week and this sum was all the wife was
allowed to meet the current expenses
of the home and clothe herself. Where
the balance of Grants earnings went
the wife was uncertain
The wife said her husband drank ex-
cessively and kept company with other
women. Although the funds to finance
the home were limited, Grant seemed
able TO hire a car and chaufIer and
the wife often saw him JOY riding with
other women. But in the time the little
woman was Grants wife, he never once
asked her to go with him on a pleas
.re trip and she didn't know how it
felt TO ride in a real sure enough auto
mobile.

BROWN WANTS woIGAsr MATCH
Manager Insists His Protcge Can Whip

New York, July 6.-Local boxing
fans are still discussing the Wolgast-
Moran fight of Tuesday. A great many
of them had believed that Moran, with
his superior skill, could stand off the
champion for the twenty rounds of the
contest, and the Briton's cverwhelm-
ing and comparatively speedy defeat
was somewhat of q surprise. Danny
Morgan, the manager OF Knockout
Brown, was not at all daunted by the
outcome. He still believes his charge
can whip Wolgast and is ready to have
him try it. He says:

Square Deal Leader From Chase
Disagrees With President.
Mercer Makes a ROusing Speech
Attacking Reciprocity.
FARMERS LIKED 1T.
Appear to Approve What Was
Said.
Arthur Capper introduced as
Ca-per at Alma.

Joe Mercer, state live stock commits
sioner, had a great time in Chase coun-
ty the Fourth. Mercer addressed q
large crowd of his old friends and
neighbors at Bazaar, and he made a
corking speech, too, according to the
reports.
While President Taft spent the day
in defense of reciprocity, Mercer was
tearing down the presidents fortifica-
t1ons all along the line. Mercer is Op-
posed to reciprocity. AS a delegtaeto to the
national convention of live stock men
last month he spoke against it. In his
Bazaar speech Mercer declared that. in
MS opinion, there was no need for sucn
change in the country'S tariff plan:
that it Disseminated against the farm
er without affecting the manufacturer.
which is to say that it missed the
trusts entirely, while striking the
farmers.
Mercer was inclined to criticise Taft'S
stand for reciprocity. He thought that
II the heads of the government were
placed above criticism then the powers
OF the few were multiplied and the
rights of the many We're diminished in
that same ratio. On the other hsn6
mercer had praise for the president for
other things than his tariff ideas.
mercer was opposed to the aggran-
ulsement of the army and navy. Like
sun Tor peace. He thought the present
STANDING army is too big, and the navy
TOO he thought the plan of burning
sunpowder for salutes and all the red
tape and ceremony of military affairs
was not IN keeping with the democ-
Iacy OF a republic. In fact, Mercer
made an old fashioned patriotic speech
against every form of power ana
tyranny. anu
Getting down to state affairs the live
STOCK commissioner, who was chair

FACE MILK FAMINE.
Chicago Ice Supply Short and Prices
Are Hiked.

Chicago. July 6.-Chicago is facing
an ice and milk famine as the result
OF the continued hot weather.
The heat has cut the supply of ice
90 per cent. All the large companies
report that they are unable to meet
the demands of the large consumers.
Yesterday a minimum demand of 30.-
600 tons was met by the companies
with the delivery of 5000 tons. In
dependent drivers took advantage of
the situation to raise the retail price
The problem which puzzles the ice
companies most is that of getting ice
into the city. The extreme heat has
been responsible for a shrinkage of
approximately 80 per cent as against
10 per cent.
Milk dealers are predicting the
greatest shortage in the supply of milk
ever experienced in the city.
