TO RENDER AN ACCOUNT
Senator Lodge Has Reached Crisis
in his Career

Boston, Jan. 2.--An account of his
Is years stewardship as one of the
Massachusetts representatives in the
upper branch of congress will be
given tomorrow night by Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge in an address in
symphony hall to the members of the
legislature who favor his reelection
for fourth term. The friends of
Senator Lodge assert his address will
be the effort of his life. All agree the
senior senator has reached the crisis
IN his political career.
The address comes on the eve of the
convening of the legislature which two
weeks from tomorrow will vote on the
senatorship.
The meeting tomorrow night is in
response to a request by Representa-
tive members of the legislature. The
address will be Senator Lodges sole
reply to numerous attacks, especially
those of Governor -elect Eugene N.
Fsoss.
While Senator Lodge is addressing
the majority of the Republican mem
bers of the legislature, the Democrats
of the house will hold q caucus in the
state house for the purpose of select
ing candidate for speaker and per-
haps to plan a legislative campaign
that may include the senatorship.

FANCY CHICKENS HERE.
Judging at Poultry Show Began This
Morning.

President ]. w. F. Hughes of the To-
peka Poultry Show has NOT yet turned his
phonograph loose at the auditorium on
the two thousand and more Growing
cackling and squaking birds. The noise
is almost deafening, but then the show
will not be formally opened until toulor-
row, although, to be sure, no one is being
turned away today.
Judging in the poultry classes is taking
place this afternoon and tomorrow the
pigeons will be awarded the proper rib
bons. The ''empire'' system of uniform
wire cooping has been used Similar to
that seen at the great Chicago show and
the general appearance of the show is
necessarily more pleasing to the eye than
has been the case in connection with
shows in Topeka in the past.
The entire lower floor of the big hall is
filled with the coops for chickens alone,
the pigeons having been assigned to the
balcony. The birds are cooped singIy
which is another improvement on the sys-
tenn in vogue in former years
To be exact there are 1.5i5 chickens in
the show and 703 pigeons Generally the
actual figure is multiplied by two but
stick to facts.
Ralph w. Whitney of Minnesota, secre-
tary and treasurer of the northwest
branch of the American Poultry associa-
ton. and who has visited ali the big
shows from the Atlantic to the Pacific

ing of the show at the Auditorium

FOUND HIS WIFE
WITH AFFINITY
Frequently Discovered Them in
Spooning Spots Around st. Thomas,
J. w. Hammond Tells Court.

The old church yard, the old mill
site and other beauty spots In dear
old st. Thomas, Ont, much sought
after by spooning couples, were men,
toned In Judge Donovan's court. Wed
nesday morning, as places where john
w. Hammond found his wife In the
company of George Smile, q man 10
years her junior and who Is now head
brakeman on the Michigan Centrars
fast train, the Wolverine flyer.
Hammond, now a prosperous bar
Der In Cleveland, Is suing Smile for
$4,000, alleging that he alienated the
affections OF Mrs. Hammond and
caused her to desert her husband and
family.
When I became convinced that my
wife was paying more attention to
Smile that she should, watched her
and saw her In his company several
times" the husband said Whenever
approached them Smile ran away.
saw them once In the old church
yard, quiet spot where they were
not likely to be seen. Then saw them
at the old mill, and again at the rail-
way bridge over the creek, but could
never speak to Smile because he ran
away"
Hammond said that he entreated his
wife TO give up Smile, and she prom.
ised she would. but, he declared, he
soon had more evidence that she was
still receiving his attentions. Then.
Hammond said, he moved to Cleveland
to get his wife from Smile, but he
soon learned that they were CORE
spending. An effort will be made TO
get these letters before the jury.
The plaintiff said that his wife
sought every excuse to get back to
st. Thomas. where Smile was. When
her brother died she went to the funer-
al and remained from New Years un-
til July. Again, when a niece was Ill
Mrs. Hammond went to st. Thomas
and remained several months. The
husband charged that this was so she
could be In Smiles company.
During cross-examination Hammond
was asked II he had not beaten his
wife, had not struck and choked her
and had not attempted to throw her
from the verandah into the street, but
to all these questions he made posi-
tive denial.
