GIVES UP HIS WIFE.
Francisco Flora VIII Go Back to Mex
leo Without Her.

Because his wife loves another,
Francisco Flora will return to his
home in Mexico and try to forget it all
The conclusion of the happiness m the
Mexican home came Sunday, when
Mrs. Flora went away with Tose Cal
dora.
Excitedly Flora ran to the police
station. In badly shattered English
he tried to tell the police officers of
his trouble. He wanted them to I'M
derstand his grief and sorrow; and
finally he made known the situation.
Two officers arrested the wife and
Caldora. They spent the night in the
holdover at the station. Flora him
self did not sleep well last night and
this morning he came early to the
station to beg for his wife's release
Honest, Mr.. Chief, I love her" de-
clared the Mexican; in brand of
English that was hard to follow, land
if you let her go, I pay the fine. Yes,
l will. Caldora, he bad man. He
steal wife. Please let Louisa CO."
There was a conversation with Mrs
Flora, who is fair and one of the most
attractive Mexican women in Topeka.
She said she did not love Francisco,
that she would not live with him and
that their dream of love was at an
end. There was no misundersta nding
her sentiments. Sadly the Mexican
walked from the Jail. He told Chief
Jenkins he would return to his ma
tive land and try to forget First, be-
fore he could go, he must have pa
pers from the court saying his wife
was alive, or Mexican officials would
not allow him to enter the borders of
his home land. 1t is a practice the
Mexican government follows to keep
tab on export women.
When the papers were secured,
Flora went again to the Jail, but the
wife was insistent. She did not love
him. With a sad heart, Flora went
to the depot and this afternoon is on
his way to the land of his birth.
In cell at the police station Mrs
Flora, so the police say, has made love
to her new friend. She gave him her
coat, which was promptly soaked at
the pawn shop for S2.65, but Mrs.
Flora says that is all right. She is

CAN'T SQUIRM OUT.
Another Means of Escape Is Closed to
the Meat Packers.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Judge George A.
Carpenter in the United States district
court today denied the motion of the
indicted meat packers that criminal
prosecution against them be forbidden.
Their plea was made on the. promise
that if they were guilty of conspiracy
to restrain trade, they then were vio-
lating Circuit Judge Grosscup's injunc-
ton of several years ago against such
practice. Contempt proceedings,
argued the packers, were the proper
methods of attack by the government.
Judge Carpenter gave the packers
ten days for any further preliminary
motions they might desire to make be-
fore pleading to the indictment.
