department will conduct what is ex-
pected to be a most important and inter

PLEA FOR MORE PAY.
Government Pay1naster Also Recon-
mends System of Retirement.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Tribute to the
government employee is written in the
annual report OF Paymaster General
Charles H. Whir pie of the amy, in
a plea for an Increase of salary and a
system of retirement when the en-
ployee reaches the age of incapacity
Referring to the statistical increase of
so per cent in tie cost of living dur
ing the past Is years, without q cor
responding rise in pay, General Whip
pie says the increase is asked not as
a reward for past services. but as an
actual necessity.
To attain and maintain an efficiency
impossible under the present law, Gen.
Whipple recommends that at least so
per cent of the paymaster'S depart
ment be made permanent details This
could be obtained, he says, by making
the majors and higher grades pernlan-
ent. He also recommends that the Per

John G. Henning and Wife Leave
Mobile, Ala.
Elude the Detectives Who We're
Watching Them.
no TRIAL OF CASE SOON
Funk's Attorneys Fail in Their
Efforts.
Alienation SuitAgainst Harvest
er Trust Manager Must Wait.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Word was received
here today that John c. Henning and
wife, central figures in the Sc, 600 alien
alton of affections suit filed last SatIr-
day against Clarence s. Funk, general
manager of the International Harves-
ter company have left Mobile, Ala,
where they had been staying since
October f.
OutWitting detectives who have been
watching Henning and his wife the cou-
pie is reported to have boarded a train
IN the night for the north. Their des-
tination is said to be Chicago, where
they are believed to be coming to con-
fer with their attorneys.
Efforts of Mr.. Funk to have the suit
Immediately tried have thus far proved
unsuccessful.
Clarence S. Funk yesterday made good
his promise that he would go into court
and demand an immediate trial of the
alienation suit for $4,000 brought
against him by John c. Henning.
During the morning Scott, Bancroft
& stephens filed an answer in the circuit
court denying all the allegations in
Hennings bill.
In view of the failure of the plain
tiff's lawyers to cooperate with Mr.
Funlz's attorneys in an effort to bring
about an early trial it is probable there
can be no further proceedings for about
six months. The case is on the call
of country judge ard probably will
be heard either by Judge C2rnes, Judge
Slusser or Judge Abbott
The trip to Mobile had not been Ions
anticipated. Mrs. Henning's older sis
ter, Mrs. Richard Doolin of Hammond,
Ind, told of the sudden change in plans.
Josephine wrote me less than d
month ago she was going to Califor-
MIA with her husband. He expected t.
get some KIND of job there. She pIom-
ised to come to see us before she went,
but she didn't. The first I knew Of
her leaving Chicago was when 1 got
q letter yesterday.
The letter to which Mrs. Doolin re-
ferred was written from the Bienviile
hotel, Mobile. Saturday. 1t said II
part:
4 suppose you will be surprised to
see this. I didn't know we were COM
ing but we wanted to see some of the
south before going west. and will go On
to New Orleans in a couple of weeks.
Then Jack is going to San Francisco,
but I will return to Chicago for little
while and join him later"
The Doolins do not know where the
money for the trip is coming from
There's something funny about this,
said the husband, an employee in the
Gibson shops of the Chicago, Indiana q
Southern. There never vas any trou-
BILE between Henning and Josephine.
They got along happily all the time

SAVE ALL THE MICA.
Machine Being Installed Now-NIil
VIII Soon BE Running Full Time.

The Topeka Mica Manufacturing
Company has shipped the new crusher
and separator from Topeka to the
company's mica mine at Ribera, New
Mexico. and three men have gone on
ahead to receive and set up the new
equipment.
The separator was invented here in
Topeka and is a most valuable ma
chine as it will be possible with it's use
to save every particle of mica coming
from the mine. In the past, about so
per cent of the mica was lost by the
land picking method. With this new
crusher and separator small pieces Of
mica and that held in rock formation
will be collected instead of being
thrown on the scrap dump.
This separator will save all the
mica explained Mr.. S. B. Rohrer,
and will prove a money maker for the
company.
The mill and mining machinery of
this new company will soon be in
stalled and the Tooelca plant runnln<-

of this character is an expensive I'M
