PREFERRED HIS SISTER.
On This Ground Mrs Griffith Sues
Husband for Divorce.

Because her husband took sides with
his sister rather than mis- wife, Mrs.
Minnie E. Griffith has asked for a
divorce from James NJ Griffith. It
was when Griffith took his bride to
live with his mother and sister at 500
Madison street, that trouble started.
The woman was married to Griffith
last fall. At that time the man held
a position in the Santa Fe offices and
drew SIS a month. But he had no
home for the girl of his heart and
Mrs. Griffith was told that the moth
er-in-1aw would treat her we'll. After
Mrs. Griffith was we'll established in
the home, she says her husbands sis
ter began to nag and tantalize her.
This caused her great humiliation and
suffering. Conditions were even more
critical when the husband sympath-
lied with his sister.
Then Mrs. Griffith went to Panama,
Neb., for a visit. She stayed five
months. In all that time her husband
sent her but 81. When she wanted
to return, Griffith failed to provide
transportation. She borrowed car fare
from a brother-in-law After arriving
in Topeka her once loving and affec-
tionate husband did not come to see
her or to offer reconciliation. Now
Mrs. Griffith thinks she is entitled to
a divorce and $50 a month alimony
Griffith is at present employed in the
office Of Mcclure & Clark, abstracters,

Mrs. Schafer, widowed by Santa
Fe Explosion, a Bride.
Has Worn the Mourning Only a
Month.
NEEDED Int ERPRETOR
Little Girl Only One Who Could
Speak English.
Bridegroom Was Unsuccessful
SuitOr Before First Marriage.

For Just one month Magdalena Schafer
was a grief stricken widow one OF the
three bereaved by the Santa fFe shop ex-
plosion. Tonight she becomes Mrs. Alex
ander Altman.
Wearing her black dress of mourning
in respect to the former husband, Mrs.
Schafer walked to the probate court this
morning with her prospective companion.
A little girl in white-the woman's sister
walked with the party and told an as
sistant in the probate court what the
party wanted. The little girl was the
only member of the party who could
speak English. They came from Russia
and speak German.
Mrs. Schafer smiled and sat close be-
side Altman as the marriage license was
being prepared. Then the widow-bride
took the little white paper and carried
1t in her hand as she walked from the
building. At the Schafer home in East
Topeka the ceremony will be performed
tonight The little family will live under
the same roof with which Mrs. Schafer
lived with her former husband.
1t was just month ago when George
Schafer an employee of the Santa Fe
shops, was killed in fire and explosion.
Mrs. Schafer, who had come to America
only a few weeks before, herself was at
the scene of the fire the day her hus-
band was killed. Grief stricken, the wo-
man wrung her hands and sobbed as meu
carried the charred body from the ruins.
1t is said that Altman was an unSuC-
cessful candidate for the woman's hand
years ago before she married Schafer
But Altman was patient. The man at
tended the burial of his successful
rival. A week later he pressed his
former suit and today won the hand of
the woman he loved.

SIG LEHMAN IS HERE.
Says John Madden Won't Run for
Congress.

According to Sigmund Lehman. for
mer representative from Labette coun-
ty, who is here in attendance at the
semi-annual bidding for supplies for the
John Madden of Parsons, the we'll
known general counsel for the Katy
Railroad company for Kansas, will not
be a candidate for congress from the
Third district in opposition to Phil
Campbell. Mr.. Lehman is of the opirl-
ion that Judge ]. T. Flannelley of In
dependence, Montgomery county is the
proper man to make the race against
the present congressman for the Re
publican nomination.
Campbell had a narrow rub in the
election last November. the big Re-
publican majority being divided by
four. 1t is likely that this fact has
stirred the talk Of opposition at the
ular, representing a regular district,
but he went back on Uncle Joe Can
non who had been his friend and who
had given him the best of everything
in congress. Campbell had better stood
pat.
If Judge Flannelley gets in the race
against him for the nomination he is
sure to have the fight of his life. for
the little jurist from Independence is
big man when 1t comes to question
of brains and energy. Judge Flannel
leys friends, however, believe he viii
hesitate before he resigns his office,
with three years yet to serve, in order
to get in hard fight for congressional
hoTlors.
Every county in the Third district
has a candidate for the congressional
nomination.
Mr.. Lehman did not know about how
the Capper candidacy for governor
would be received in his district. He
could name no one at this time Who
appeared to have chance to win the
nomination from the Topeka publisher.
AS regards the senatorial fight De
tween Stubs and Curtis the Third has
always been a Curtis stronghold, bu!
Lehman, like many another friend OF
Lorimer of Illinois in the senate in
quiry into how Lorimer got his seat
| in that body.
LehmanS friends want him to run
for the state senate from Labette coult-
| ty. Sig would make a useful senator
for his state and district.

1T IS A GOOD TRUST.
Lumber Man Says There Was Never
Agreement to Control Prices.

Kansas City, June 13.-That the cost
of producing yellow pine lumber in
creased SO per cent. from 1898 to 1908
and that the supply and demand and
by the yellow Pine Manufacturers
association controlled the price. was
the assertion of Charles S. Keith,
president of the Central Coal and Coke
company of this city, on the witness
stand today at the hearing of the
states custer suit against the alleged
lumber trust.
Mr.. Keith said that while his COM
pany was a member of the Yellow
Pine Manufacturers association there
was no agreement to regulate or con-
troll the prices of yellow pine or to
limit competition in the state OF
Missouri.
He said the only curtailment of out
ton was in 1904. Mr.. Keith was re-
called to be examined by the attorney
for the defendants. He said his COM
pany sometimes arbitrarily curtails its
production of lumber without consult
ing representatives of other lumber
interests because of business policy or
the physical conditions under which
/ the lumber is produced.
did you know of any agreement of
members of the yellow Pine Manu-
facturers' association not to sell their
lumber to farmers cooperative as
sociations or any other would-be pur-
chasers ?" saked Attorney w. c. Scar
| fit.
'I knew of no such agreement"
''Was there any agreement, tacit. or
| implied, to regulate, fix or control the
prices of yellow pine?''
"There was never an agreement to
limit competition and never an agree
ment to curtail production except in
! 1904. Government statistics. how
ever, show that the total amount of
yellow pine produced in 1904 was
greater than that of 1908. In 1906
the facilities were bad because we
could only secure so per cent. of the
normal number of freight cars. Ac-
cordingly we cut down our production
to so per cent" AS to the increase in
the cost of production of lumber dur
ling recent years, Mr.. Keith said:
'In 1908 the cost of producing yell
low pine was SO per cent. greater
than it was in 1898 The price of
stumpage, or raw timber, increased
1000 per cent. Labor increased 81
per cent. Taxation, carrying charges
and the price of mules, which are
used extensively in our business, have
/ also increased"

SAYS HE STILL LOVES HER.
Kay Wanamalxer Hopes to Win Back
His Wife.

Kay Wanamaker of 1903 North Monroe
street whose wife was brought back
from Kansas City Saturday night after
leaving her home and children here and
was taken by her father to his home
about six miles west of the city, denies
that she and the children were loaded
into a wagon. He states that he hired an
automobile to drive her and the children
out and that her father went with them.
Later he went to Menoken on the train
the night. He thinks there still is hope of
a reconciliation. Clyde Walters who was
arrested with his wife in Kansas City,
has furnished bond to appear at the
trial June 10.

SCANLON WILL BE GOOD.
Agrees to Give $25 Month Toward
Support of Family.

Lon Scanlon, who works in Kansas
City, while his family lives in Topeka,
must pay $25 a month for the support of
the household. This was decided today
by Judge Schoch, when Scanlon was cited
as a delinqusSt parent.
Some months ago Scanlon went to Kan
sas City. His family learned he had a
good position. But there was little of the
mans income that ever reached the wife
and children in East Topeka. This little
family was modest and unassuming. They
struggled along as best they could for
several months. Each month the fam
fly larder sank lower. Then the mother
took the case to Judge Schoch.
A warrant was issued for Scanlon and
he was brought to Topeka. When ar
raigned today, Scanlon pleaded guilty to
a charge of failing to properly provide
for his family. He was fined 800 and
costs. Scanlon repented and said he
would do better. The court intimated
that the best evidence would be month
ly check to the wife of SIS a month.
Scanlon provided a $500 bond to insure a
compliance with the courts order.

ABOUT OUR PARKS.
Superintendent Reinisch DepIores In
just Agitation.

Superintendent Reinisch asked for his
views about the Gage park addition
and an East side park, has submitted
the following article:
Having been quoted in recent news
paper articles IN a manner that makes
me appear as against the acquisition
of the Gage tract for additional park
land, 1 wish to say that 1 have tried
ever since 1903 to have the tract added
to Gage park and have set forth my
reasons to Mrs. G. G. Gage, Mr.. Nor
ris L. Gage and others, why the pres
ent Gage park is incomplete without
it.
The 80 acres offer an opportunity for
g. larger lake than the topography of
any present park lard admits Of name
ly a body of water 800 feet east and
west and the same extent north aud
south. This properly constructed would
be large enough for boating and fishing,
which features are very much needed.
In addition to that, ball diamonds, run
ming tracks and other play fields can be
located, features that properly belong
to real park.
have so far failed in all my attempts
to have the tract added to the pack
and it would be deplorable If unjust
agitation would prevent the city from
accepting the terms at present agreed
upon, terms most favorable to the city.
have advocated an East side park
before and since the failure of the last
att smpt at a park bond election. The
park board at that time arranged for
the bulk of the bonds to go toward
acquiring and improving parks in the
First and Second wards and were en-
phatically turned down by these tyr
wards, while III all the other wards the
bond proposition carried.
A number Of times since 1 have sug-
gested parks for the East side an
have shown that vacant land can ',e
had with a topography for an ideal
park, a park worthy of the name and
a credit to any city.
The question of east and west. north
and south, does not matter; all local.
ties have always been and are now alike
TO me.
Topeka needs an adequate park anG
boulevard system. not for Topeka OF
yesterday, nor of today, but for a city
