Actions for Divorce Filed in the Dis
trice Court.

Three new actions for divorce have
been filed in the Shawnee county dis
trict court. Two of the cases were
brought by wives and third suit was
filed by the husband.
Esther Brown was married to Ar
thur S. Brown in Detroit in 1907. but
the job of being Mrs. Brown didn't
suit the wife and now she wants to
be free. She charges that Brown is
cruel and neglectful of her happiness
and that their domestic life hasn't
been as happy as it should.
Edward r. Bartlett, who tried it two
days less than one year, says married
life isn't a success. He complains that
Ida Belle Bartlett scolded him and de-
stroyed his tranquility of mind in such
a way as to make life unbearable. He
married the woman December 10, 1910.
Now he asks the court to intervene and
give him decree.
Virginia Younkin charges that Sam
uel D. Younkin abused her on numerous
occasions. One night, she recites, Youn-

STOP STREET GRAFT
Mayor Will Put Stop to 'Fake'' Christ
mas Soliciting.

Attention has been brought to Mayor
Billiard of the competition on the
streets in the way of getting money
from the people by representatives of
various so-called religious organiza-
tons for the alleged purpose of help
ing the poor at Christmas time 1t Is
known that at least one of these or
CARNATIONS is not doing a legitimate
business, and the mayor will look into
the question of protecting the public
against frauds.
1T is something that ought to be
stopped" said Secretary Guy T. Justis
of the P'rovident association, who had
an interview with the mayor on the
question IF these organizations would
do what they say they will do il would
be all right, but more than one-half
of them put the money in their
pockets.
1.-The regular Salvation Army is the
only one that is really doing a good
work One of the men stopped one
of the Provident association women on
the street and offered to pay her rs
cents a day for ringing a bell on the
streets He has people working in
other places, and as far as anybody
knows, he puts 1t in his pockets. This
is imposing on the general public.
Mayor Billiard said that he would con-
suit the city attorney in the matter

FLOOD OF TEARS.
Miss Graham'sTestimOny Halted
by Fits of Weeping
While Testifying in Her Own
Defense Against Stokes.
GAVE HIM HER MONEY
Which She Says He Lost
Through Bad Investment.
Told Her Go Right on Buying
What She Needed.
GAVE HIM HER MONEY

New York, Dec. 8.-The Stokes shoot
ing case reached the climax of dramatic
interest TO-DAY because the time had
come for Lillian Graham. one of the
show girls defendants, to take the
stand.
Miss Graham was to have testified
yesterday as the first witness for the
defense put the opening remarks OF iler
attorney left the young woman in such
a nysterical COL dltion that her coun-
sci decided to snare her the ordeal of
the witness chair until she became
calmer and wound up the days testi-
mony with the evidence of her sister,
Mrs. Alice A gnes Andrews.
The cont antion of the show girls is
that while they shot Stokes, their acts
were justified because he called at their
apartment and demanded certain let
ters and started to choke Miss Graham.
Miss Graham burst into such a viO-
lent fit of weeping that court had to
take a recess Tor five minutes and in
terrupt her story of her relations WI
w. E. D. Stokes whom she and Ethel
Conrad are accused of trying to muir
herself after she had been on the stand
about ten minutes under examination
by her own attorney.
Did you ever have any conversation
with Mr.. Stokes in regard to your voca-
ton in life2" asked the attorney.
Il told him I wanted to go on the
stage and he told me not to- He said
was too good"
Here the witness voice broke and
she gave herself entirely over to weep
ing. Mr.. Jordan, her attorney, then
asked about giving her money to Stokes.
Gave Stokes Her Money.
He told me that he could make it
earn big dividends and I gave him
about $1,70O. Several months after
he told me he had lost it by putting
it into a poor deal. He told me not
to worry; to buy everything I needed
and have it sent to the desk at the
AnsOnia-"
Did you have much sent to the
Ansonia ~
NO, not very much. because my
sister gave me nearly everything
needed"
Miss Graham then told of several
automobile rides she had with Stokes
and other entertainments he had pro-
vided for her.
In the earlier part of her testimony
Miss Graham gave her age as % years.
She first met Stokes in September,
1905 she said, when he came to the
apartments of her sister, Mrs. Single
ton, in the Ansonia- After that. Miss
Graham said, she and Stokes met very
often Miss Graham did not recall the
note dated December u, 1906, in
which she expressed disbursement
because Stokes had failed to see her
two nights in succession when she ex-
Dected him.

Iected to try the $1,50O,000 damage
suit brought by the Fowler Packing

At the morning session, Judge c. F.
Huchison, of Kansas City, made the

w. Trickett, who outlined the defense.
In his statement, Judge Hutchinson
went back to the flood of 1908, when
property owned by the Fowler Pack
ing company was destroyed by the

this land had been washed away, yet
title still remained in the plaintiffs
and that they were later justified in
restoring this land. Then the prop
erty was seized by the drainage dis
trict and much valuable property de-
stroyed. For the alleged seizure of
II acres of land, the company claims
damages in the amount of $25, 900 an
acre. To establish their rights to the
land and the further right to build on
the soil, the plaintiffs promise to in
troduce in evidence some 125 deeds
of conveyance
The jurors selected to try the case
are: Perry Thompson, Samuel Clark,
Samuel Grimshaw, Oscar Dahlgren,
Arthur Davis, G. H. Dodge, Elmer
Reigel. w. P Holston, T. w Thomp-
son, H. M. Philips, Horace Hall and

Advices received in Topeka from the
Seventh district congressional campaign,
now in full blast, indicate that George
Medley, the Democratic candidate for the
Madison seat, is making vigorous cam

when and how to help him. The Demo-

His Jeweled Snuffbox-By Sarah G.. Browne

rather than weakening by marriage.
Miss Fl florence Twiss possessed a for
tune IN his own right and felt that
she would rather add to it Mr.. Edwin
Wheaton with his dress suit, opera hat
and jeweled snuffbox than another
man with stocks and bonds and houses
and lands.
I will not positively assert that Mr..
Wheaton would have chosen Miss
Twiss in preference to the other young
ladies who were in love with him, for
his heart was plenty large enough to
take them all in. Their loves evapo-
rated in tears and signs. That of Miss
Twiss materialized. She gave him ev-
cry encouragement. He returned her
love, differing from the loves he bore
the others in this-that his love for
Miss Twiss was not snuffed out as in
the other cases by her announcing her
engagement to some one else.
MIR. Wheaton was emboldened to
propose to Miss Twiss. She knew very
well his circumstances; but, yielding to
a natural desire in girls to bother their
lovers, she asked him as to his proper
ty.

with great pride IN having preserved
one thing.

"Yes, you may hope"
"And I may have a kiss. mayn't I7''
"One little bit OF a one"
Wheaton took the kiss, and in this
respect fl seemed that he was as good
at borrowing as he was at lending, for
he drew on the permission till the &C
csunt was frightfully overdrawn.
Now, it happened that Mr. Wheaton
was sadly in need Of shoes Like most
people who do not know when, how
and why they are most attractive, he
deemed IT essential to the success OF
his suit with Miss Twiss that he
should keep up appearances. He did
not realize that his necessities were
his chief assets with the girl who
loved him. He went TO a fashionable
