GOODRICH SUES FOR IT.
Claims Superintendency of Light Plant
Under Old Soldier Law.

The old soldier preference law, strength
ened by the last legislature will be test
ed in the supreme court by H. K. Good
rich, former superintendent of the city
electric light plant of Topeka. Mr.. Good
rich has filed proceedings in the court
against the mayor and four commission
ers asking that George G. Neil, who was
appointed in his place at the light plant,
be ousted from office under the provisions
Of the old soldier preference law.
Mr.. Goodrich cites in his petition that
he had held the office of superintendent
OF the plant for twelve years and had
given Satisfacti He was an applicant
for reappointnent and had made the ap-
plication in writing. He gave his record
in the army and recited the fact that Mr..
O'Neil had not served in the army.
Mr.. Goodrich brought a similar action
under the old soldier preference law in
the supreme court in 1903 to GUST Porter
Mitchell, who had been appointed in his
place at the light plant by the city coun-
Gil and was successful in his suit. The
law was strengthened by the last legis-

IT'S A REAL COMEDY.
Mrs. FYslze's New Play Different From
Her Others.

On Monday, June ~, Mrs. Fiske
will appear at the Grand in new
comedy, Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh," the
first work of a new playwright, Harry
James Smith. It is not his first liter
airy work. however. as he has been
writer of novels and short stories.
The success of his first dramatic out
put has been so pronounced, the
comedy having scored unmistakably
during its recent run in New York,
that the future should read well for
Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh" is come
dy of much originality, fresh ana
cleverness in dialogue and, which is
greatly to the point. provides Mrs.
Fiske with a most amusing character,
one quite unlike any other she has
ever created. 1t is a laughter max
ing vehicle pure and simple, and
has none of the serious characters
tics so prominent in many of the plays
in which Mrs. Fiske has formerly
been seen.
Not to dull the edge of cxpe ,tarcv
by detailing the story of the play, it
may be said that it is recital Of
the social climb of the De SALES,
climb planned and carried out by the
elder daughter, woman of infinite
clevSrneSs, resSiveneSs and audac-
ity.
Quite my ideal of an English lady"
is the comment made upon Mrs. AL
gernon Bumpstead-Leigh by her
American hostess; and the opinion is
shared by all who have been so for
tunate as to meet her. She is grac-
ious. she is witty, she had the ''grande
air. she is, in short, immensely the
her mother and younger sister, vio-
let De Sale, she has crossed the ocean
in company with Anthony Rawson,
Violet's fiance, a New Yorker of
poets, and is paying the official
VISIT to the family at the ancestral
country seat on Long Island.
The origin of the De SALES is a bit
hay in the public mind. but the
purse and family-proud Rawsons are
dazzled by the Norman-French atmos-
phere of the man, and take for grant
ed that the family tree must have
been firmly rooted centuries ago
Bumpstead-Leigh is the wife of an
English clergyman Of the lesser nobil-
ity, makes the alliance highly desir
able.
But alas! The most irreproachable
of Norman-Frenchp atronymics cannot
always be counted upon to keep the
family skeleton safe under lock and
key. Rumors got abroad vaguely
connecting the English guests with a
grees of consideration, as Missionary
Loop, and a certain Peter Swallow.
seller of tombstones, haunted by
memories of an old sweetheart who
gave him the "go-by," arrives on the
scene. The result is a series Of the
most startling and embarrassing situa-
tions, in which the redoubtable lady
from England-who combines the
the subtlety of Machiavelli with the
audacity of a Napoleon--is forced to
deploy her tactical resources to the
utmost. In fact, she dances the tight
rope across the social Niagara gorge.
More than once she seems beyond
hope. There is even sedition In the
moment of her most spectacular tri-
umph she is overtaken by disaster.
But like truth, Mrs. BuInpstead-
Leigh, though crushed to earth. rises
again Out of disaster itself, she
plucks a victory more audaclous than
anything that has preceded it.

in the capital by the refusal of Secretary
of State Knox, on the instruction of Pres
ident Taft, to place before the house
committee on expenditures in the state
department books showing the record OF
the payment for the portrait of FORMER

The committee is seeking to discover
what became of the 81. 600 balance on the
10o voucher drawn for the payment OF
the portrait. Artist Rosenthal received
only $3.50 for his work and the $500 IS
unaccounted for.
The president held that the $3.50 was

A colloquy between Hamlin and the sec

that the chairman might be allowed per-
sonally to inspect the particular record.
This course probably will be followed
Mr.. Hanlin question Secretary Knox
closely as to what justification there was
for paying for a portrait out of a secret
fund set aside for unforeseen emergencies
and extending diplomatic Intercourse.
Mr.. Knox said it had been the practice
since 1890. He informed the committee

Senator Root, who was secretary of
state about the time the portrait was
paid for, will testify next Tuesday as to
