AFTER WIFE DESERTER.
c. A. Jones, Who Deserted Family,
VIII Be Brought to Kansas.

The first prosecution under the law
of 1911 making it a felony to desert
a wife and children in destitute cir
cumstances came up today from Wy
andotte county when Governor Stubs
issued requisition papers to the Wyan-
dotte sheriff for the person of Charles
A. Jones. now held in Tacoma. Wash.
Jones is charged with having left his
wife and two small children in Kansas
City some time ago without cause.
The wife had nothing to live upon
and was compelled to go to work for
her living. She is not strong enough TO
work.
The Wyandotte county attorney con
Guided, when he heard her story, that
this was a good case with which to
test the 1911 laws on wife desertion,
so an officer will be sent clear to
Washington to bring Mr.. Jones back
to answer to the law for his neglect.
No other woman is mentioned in the
case, it appearing to be a plain propo-
sition of wiIful desertion.

RECORDS ARE JUGGLED.
Waterway Bill Defeated in the ILL.,
nois Legislature.

Springfield, Ill, June 23.-Speaker
Adkins welded the gavel to the de-
feat of the administration waterway
bill in the house today. Riotous
scenes followed, but the lack of a floor
leader kept the waterway adherents
from overriding the speakers ruling.
The records show that the bill was
defeated by a vote of IS ayes to SO
nays. Representative Leavitt an
nounced that he voted in the affirma-
tive, but he is recorded against the
measure. Representative w. E. An
derson insists that he voted in the af-
firmative, but is not recorded. These
two votes would have given the bill
the constitutional majority of seventy
seven votes necessary to Its passage.
