mays" WIN
in KANSAS
RECALL ALSO MET DEFEAT IN
TIE SENATE.
Both Measures Passed House But
Lacked the TWo-Thirds Ma
Jority in Senate.

Topeka, Feb. " The initiative and
referendum and recall are dead SO
far as this session of the legislature
is concerned. The senate killed it's
own resolutions on those subjects
some time ago. But the other day the
house passed both of it's own. They
came to the senate for adoption. The
senate killed the initiative and refer
endum by a vote of "A yeas to 10
nays; and few moments later sent
the recall to the scrap head by vote
of q yeas to Is nays.
Both resolutions call foE constitu-
tional amendments to be submitted TO
the people, and both need constitu-
tional majorities to pass the senate.
But neither could muster the required
two-thirds. "
When the senate killed its own mi
tiatiVe and referendum resolutions
two weeks ago the vote was IS yeas
and 81 nays. Quite a few voters were
changed in roll call, but the bill under
consideration was also materially
changed.

CENSUS
RETURNS
In % Cities 1t Was Found Necessary
to Correct the Population
Figures.

Washington, Feb After careful
investigation of the returns and
schedules by expert clerks in the
census bureau, 1t was found neces-
sary to correct the population figures
for % cities of the United States,
whose returns had been inaccurately
made, or padded either intention
ally or through carelessness or error.
in no case, however, was any corree-
ton in the population figures made
without first conducting a careful in
yestigation in the city itself.
The director states that in several
cities there seems to have been a de-
liberate conspiracy between private
individuals and some of the special
agents or enumerators, or both, to in
fate, fraudulently, the census re-
turns. The census bureau has al
ready laid the facts thus far ascer-
tanned with regard to several cases
of padding before the department
of justice, and other cases will short
ly be brought to its attention,

ABSORBED
New Railroad May For The Central
West-Falls City Will Be Ben
efied BY The Change

The big struggle on now in east
ern railroad circles for the control
of the Gould interests is signifi
cant to say the least. With the
Panama Exposition going to San
Francisco in 1915, and the general
DETECTION of traffic towards the
gulf coast because of the opening Of
the Panama route, big railroad men
are already planning to control the
new situation TO best advantage. New
highways of traffic will be originated,
and new centers Of railroad trans
portation.
Towns and cities i'm line with
these new routes of trade win find
themselves highly favored. 1t is,
Of course difficult this early in the
game of railroad juggling to foretell
definitely what the final plans will
reveal But one thing is well es-
tablished and that is that Richard
son county lies over one Of the great
highways of trans-continental travel,
both from east to west and from
north to south.

She is undecided when she will

When riding Miss Aspenwall wears
mems heavy trousers, good warm un-
derwear, long, warm great coat
and Stetson hat She said at first
she carried a blanket for her mare
but gave up even such light luggage
and sends that on by the fore run
ner. The pockets of her trousers car
ry all the things she finds necessary
and she does not provide food for
either herself or her horse. Often
she rides rs miles before she finds a
house to eat and sleep. She has
had some wonderful experiences and
now that the worst is past says she
does not regret it though she would
not do it again. She looks for
ward to the remainder OF the trip
with pleasure and when she
reaches New York will hold the
double record of the champion woman
roper of the world and the longest
horse back journey made by any
one person.

seated at a large table where hat

Miss Aspenwau entered the contest
when the Wide World magazine made
the offer to finance the parties who
would make the trip, liberal cash
prize being the reward. But since
the lady has left Frisco the maya
zine got cold feet and their offer
was withdrawn. Miss Aspenwall says
for this she is thankful, for as it is
she is making more money for her
self giving shows along the way and
being under obligations to no one.
She has a fore runner, Frank Ca
BILE, who proceeds her and makes
all arrangements for her exhibitions.
The young lady holds the woman's
world championship record for ropine,
won at Madison Square Garden in
1908 and roping constitutes a part Of

night and says frankly nobody but
a fool would have kept on after
such hardships as she has endured.
Often in riding over mountains she
was upon the brink of precipice
before she knew OF its presence and
another step from her faithful mare
would have hurled her into eternity.
Many a day she rode without food or
water for herself or her horse be-
lieving it was better for the animal
to do without food than to make her
back sore by carrying supplies.
From Battle Mountain, this fearless
rider again took up her lonely ride
and for 500 miles rode over the West
ern Pacific tracks to Salt Lake City
crossing the Salt Lake desert. At
one time she covered 80 miles from
o'clock a. m. to p m, looking

to Denver the route was by Grand

Tennessee Pass. While in Denver
Miss Aspenwall spent a week with
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles sharts, they

The trip from Denver to this city
has been made by easy stages with
no idea Of making fast time. She

told to. Harry Costello, Of Georgetown,
by Manager Oliveri. following a confer
ence with w. G. Stuart, chairman Of the
registration committee OF the South At

The matter worried the Georgetown
man to such an extent that early last
week he was considering taking the ini-
tiative and asking for an explanation
from the Amateur Athletic Union peo-
pie. Costello talked the matter over
with friends, as late as Wednesday. but
was advised that IL he was SO positive
as to his amateur status to let the mat
ter go. He finally decided to do nothing
further.
Nothing was said publicly until yes
terday, when The Times published the
story which was denied last night by
Chairman Stuart in an official state
ment. Mr.. Stuart went further and said
IN his statement that he did not even
know that Costello. the referee, was the
Georgetown man, SO the controversy
now narrows down to q question OF
Chairman Stuart.

National League baseball club, and
who Is now acting as counsel for Mr..
Russelrs heirs and looking after their
interests in the Boston club, said this
morning that the club will be sold just
as soon as he hears an offer of what
he regards as a reasonable price. AL
ready. he said, propositions have come
from five different sources in Boston
and five others outside of Boston. He
declined to give any name or state the
prices offered.
He did say, however. that some Of the
offers were near enough to the price
asked, which is 500. .000 to lead him to
believe that an agreement with some
one of the many who wish to buy the
club may be reached within a fortnight.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
Of the club, which wes to have been
held next Tuesday. has been postponed
