All Turks and Arabs habitually
finger beads during their prayers, and
so fixed does the habit become with
the more devout that they slip the
beads on the chaplet through the

HINES KNOWS

Edward Hines of Chicago, ac-
cording to the dispatches from a
wide territory, including Spring
field, ILL.,, seems to be suspected of
knowing something about almost
everything says the News Tribune
of few weeks ago in the caught
on the run" column. After
getting away from the Springfield
investigation to give his attention
to his lumber business the news
began to filter in over the wires
from around the country that he
was wanted to explain about the
tug trust, and then John Deitz
tried to have him hailed into court
at Hayward to explain about the
lumber trust and its bearings on
Deitz case. The public, it is easy
to assume, may look for dispatches
something like these during the
next few weeks:
LOS ANGELES, May 2O.-It is
learned here from one who knows
that Edward Hines, the millionaire
lumberman, will be the next man
kidnapped and brought to this city =.
He is wanted as witness in the
Mcnamara case. If Mr.. Hines in
sists that he doesn't know who
blew up the Times building it will
do him no good, nobody will be-
lieve him.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 90
The much mooted and still disput-
ed questions of whether the cities
of this state should be put under
the commission form of govern
mentis at last in fair way of being
settled for good. 1t is learned
from excellent authority that Ed
ward Hines knows, but will not
tell, unless cornered by the proper
authorities. Papers a being pre-
pared for service on Mr.. Hines,
and he will be haled before the
Two Harbors debating team, which
won the championship of the state.
Intense excitement prevails since it
has become known that Mr.. Hines
is holding back information of such
great public interest and importance.
He will not be allowed to deny his
knowledge.
PHILADELPHIA, May 90
The mystery of the lost Charley
Ross is to be cleared up to the
entire satisfaction of the public at
last. 1t is learned from an
authentic source which cannot be
mentioned at this time that Edward
Hines of Chicago knows who stole
Charley Ross, but he will not tell.
Process servers are armed with the
necessary papers to serve on the
Chicago lumberman as soon as he
gets back from Winton, Mimi.
where he is now engaged at break
ing i'll a green gang of knot
sawyers. 1t will be useless for
Mr.. Hines to deny that he knows
who stole Charley Ross.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May
2O.-It has been a great mystery
to the leaders of the women's
suffrage movement III Minnesota
that the legislature turned the
suffrage bill down last winter, but
they have been quietly investigat-
ing, and it is learned from high
authority that Edward Hines, the
Chicago lumberman, killed the,bill
through the operations of his secret
agents. The suffragettes have
been in secret session for two DAYS
and it has just been learned suit
able fate for Mr.. Hines is being
discussed. None has been decided
upon at the conclusion of the 10th
vote, and ESQ votes are necessary
to choice. The greatest secrecy
is observed, the suffragettes being
afraid that Mr. Hines will hear that

OLD Adam is still alive, and as
ready to put all the blame of his
failures on the woman as he was III
the garden of Eden. They would
like to carry if they could only find
some handsome little lady just
suited to their mind, and that is to
stay at. home while he is away
having good time, gassing on the
street or at the lodge or club room,
and if these wives could follow their
liege lords they would find where
their lodges met ofteneSt. So
many men have to be away on inn
portant business so wiley and chill
dren just see to the chores and see
that the stock is all fed and water
ed, for business is pressing and he
must be off. He goes without a
look to see how tired and worn out
his better half looks, or take a
thought of the days and days she
stays at home longing for the
loving words that he used to pour
into her ears before they were
married. If he comes home he is
too sleepy to talk and is cross
because she would like to tell him
some of the trials of the day. Oh
yes, women must always be sweet
and pleasant and make the home
happy, and see that the children
don't worry poor tired papa.

FOR OPEN THEATERS.
City Commissioners Pass Ordinance
Despite Warnings.

Unless the people take advantage of
the referendum provision in the COM
mission law and unless the state uses
its. power to prevent them, Sunday
theaters will open in Topeka this
spring. AS predicted in the State Jour
nal the ordinance allowing Sunday
theaters was passed by the board OF
city commissioners Monday afternoon.
Standing pat on their declarations,
Mayor Billiard. Commissioner Miller
and Commissioner StCtts voted for the
ordinance and Commissioner Tandy
and Commissioner Bone voted against
it. An attempt was made by Bone TO
obtain an explanation of their action
but Tandy interviewed and suggested
that it was useless to waste time on
arguments when the Bil1ard-Stotts-
Miller moving machine was in action.
Then a vote was taken-and it pass
ed to 2.
A few minutes afterward in walked
a delegation of women representing
the w. c. 7. L. of Topeka and other
organizations against Sunday theaters-
But they yere too late to participate in
the exhibition of the steam roller.
After the publication of the ordi-
nance in the State Journal. the official
city paper, the theater managers IN
in opening their show houses. But
the city will not offer police protection
in case the state attempts to close
down the shows Nothing can be OF
fered in this case. The new ordinance
is simply an amendment to the exist
in; state law placed in ordinance form.
To open theater in Topeka is against
the state law but not the city laws.
Commissioner Miller moved that the
ordinance would be passed after 1t was
brought up for the second reading
Monday afternoon. Commissioner
Stotts seconded the motion and Mayor
Billiard placed it before the body.
The ordinance in full as passed
reads:

missioners of City of Topeka:

The first case he decided was one on

four to four. That case referred to the
Interpretation to be given to the twenty
eight hour law, regulating the shipment
of live stock. Justice Lamar made an
opinion in which the entire court Joined.
Only yesterday he announced the unan-

vo1ving the validity of indictments of
pasturing sheep on forest reserves with
the permission of the federal government.
A year ago the court divided on the case,
four to four. A rehearing resulted in the
Georgia justice writing an opinion in
which the entire court agreed.
