WIFE'S TENDER CARE.
Evidence of Mrs Gordon's SoIicitude
for Husband Offered in Court.

Today the plaintiff in the Gordon
Mum case is offering a large amount
of rebuttal evidence from witnesses
whom G. S. Gordon told he expected to
provide handsomely for his widow at
the time of his death. These witnesses
also told of Mrs. Gordon's tender treat
ment of her husband and of Gordon's
expressions of appreciation of the
kindness and care of his wife.
With this testimony, the attorneys
for Mrs. Gordon expect to prove to the
jury that Gordon intended his wife
should receive the full widows share
of the large estate. They also hope to
show that Gordon himself did not re-
gard the terms of the ante nuptiaI
agreement as binding.
1t was after Gordon's serious illness
in 1900, witness said, that Gordon
made frequent expressions of the kind
and tender nursing he received at his.
wife's hands when physicians had ex-
pressed a belief that he would not re-
cover from the sickness.
J. d. Stark told of Gordon's Offering
to sell him the seven acres Of land east
of Topeka, which was given to Mrs
Gordon in the ante nuptial agreement.
But "on cross examination Stark be-
lieved that he himself had asked Cor
don to sell the land. More progress
was made in the examination of wit
nesses today than at any time since
possibility of few legal battles be-
tween the lawyers, it is probable that
the evidence in the case will be closed
in a few days. The defense will offer
several witnesses in rebuttal, but their
testimony Will occupy but little time

BIG JUBILEE BANQUET.
Democrats of National Prominence
Are Gathering at ST. Paul.

st. Paul, June democrats of ma
tional prominence from northwestern
states began to arrive here this morn
ing for the jubilee banquet which will
be held in the st. Paul auditorium this
evening One of the first arrivals to-
day was William Jenning Bryan. Mr..
Bryan will speak on THE Passage of
P1utocracy,' after the banquet tonight.
When asked if he had any preference
as between Governors Wilson and Har-
mon, he replied that it was altogeth-
er too early to make any predictions
as to who would be the Democrat can
didate for president.
"The attitude of congress may
change the entire situation between
now and the time to select the man."
he said. Mr.. Bryan intimated that his
remarks tonight would be along the
line of a letter sent to the banquet
in Indianapolis brought down to date
by reference to three things that have
occurred since. which Mr.. Bryan re-
garded as dangerous and threatening
to the party. s
First-The efforts on the part of the
the Democratic party to tariff on
wool.
Second-The effort of Minority Lead
er Martin in the senate to form an al
lance between the L.orimer Democrats
and the Lorimer Republicans to defeat
the LaFollette resolution
Third-The action of the supreme
court of the United States in amend
ing the antitrust law for the benefit
of the trusts.
"If the protectionists win out in the
caucus it is the beginning of the fight
instead of the ending" said Mr.. Bryan.
The Democratic voters are in no mood
ito be betrayed into the hands of the
protected interests" according to the

Fire Marshal Moves Against the
Picture Shows.
F. A. Campbell First Proprietor
to Be Arrested.
DOES NOT CONFORM.
AisIes Too Narrow and House
Poorly Ventilated.
Other Arrests Are Expected to
Follow.

The first active step in the fight to
regulate moving picture shows In ac-
cordance with state fire protection
laws. was started this morning when
suit was filed in the county court
against F. A. Campbell. proprietor of
the oxford theater, 52S Kansas avenue.
Complaint was filed in the court OF
Topeka by G. o. Wilmarth, city fire
marshal, to compel the Oxford man
agement of the theater to obey the
state fire laws. In his complaint WI
marth charges a number of direct Vlo =
lations of the law and alleges that
Campbell has refused to obey order
from the fire marshal governing the
regulation of his show.
In the first place Wilmarth claims
that Campbell refused to comply with
the state law regulating theaters and
Campbell's aisles are not of sufficient
number and width in his building. Also
it is claimed, the building is not pro-
vided with sufficient and proper exits
is not properly ventilated, and the PIC
ture machine is not properly installed
For some time Wilmarth has carried
on a crusade against the unsafe condl-
ton of Topeka's moving picture houses
He claims that he has repeatedly or
dered the Oxford to bring the house
within the provisions of the law. But
results are still forthcoming Now
Campbell will be prosecuted under the
state law.
1t is possible that the arrest of Camp
bell is the first of series to be madt
in the Wilmarth campaign to bring al
public buildings within the provisions
of the law. The outcome of the Camp
bell case will be watched with interest
by owners and managers of other pub
lie buildings; and the result may NEAR
general campaign to reform condi-
tions in Topeka and to provide safety
| for the patrons Of these houses.

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

Daily newspapers are paying
more attention to ADVERTIS-
ING now than they ever did.
The fact that it is NECES-
SARY to do so does not in the
least detract from the motive.
Time was when advertising
revenue bought the LUXURIES
for newspapers-such as build
ings, new presses, new typeset-
ting machines, etc. Before the
advent Of the penny paper the
profit on circulation represent
ed the chief earnings of news
papers. Now the revenue from
circulation barely covers the
cost of white paper.
