By Marguerite Mooers Marshall.

By Marguerite Mooers Marshall.
A chivairous gentleman from Crncin-
nat is about to found . wonderful new
for the honorable recognition Of old
maids. No longer Will that once des-
pissed and rejected portion Of humanity
be abandoned to tho lonely Joys Of catA
tea and parrots. For. Listen to the mag
niHcent MOTTO wnioh Henry Andre has
designed as the w%s&chword Of his 90
c!ety:
"Ronor old maids, for they are
worth more In ability and ohar-
acter than the mollyooddlss they
are replacing right and left svsry
day.
And hurrah for Mr.. Andrea" ex-
claimed Mss Edith whitmore. Chair
man of the Richmond Borough organ
!za+oa OF TIE Woman Suffrage Party.

women. They take care Of the

They nurse the sick. Thoy pare

children. They DO most OF the
thAnhlsss, disngresabls. but abso-
lutsly necessary work Of h

but then why have they always besu

You remember Thackeray says n

WHY MANY WOMEN ARE OH
MAIDS.
.~ThePe are many women who are OLE
maids because they arc too s~elf-sacrt
notng to marry and leave those dc
pendent on them- Others became teach
ers or nurses or social workers whel
they were young. ana they feel tina
they must not lay down their life-worl

But don't you think a woman'
greatest work in the world Is that o
wife and mother?" I asked.

Hon. W. r. Stubbs, Governor of Kansas.
Your Excellency: Your letter of July
Z, errOneouSly dated July l. at hand. In
1t you call my attention to the signed
newspaper article Of ]. E. House, junior
editor of the Topeka Capital That article
stated among some general and indefinite
allegations relating to violations of the
prohibitOry law that Mr.. House had re-
Gently attended a dinner at a private club
in a small town at which liquors were
sold. had already taken up this mat
Mr.. House and obtained such informa-
ton as he cared to give.
Perhaps this occasion is a good time
for your excellency and myself to under
stand our relative positions concerning
matters of this sort. You directed me
to subpoena Mr.. House and make him
tell what he knows about the matter con-
tanned in his article That direction is
not within the scope of your authority,
neither was your telegram of some time
ago that I should subpoena Judge Sapp
and make him come to Topeka on sim
liar errand. These are matters left to my
discretion.
THE law authorizes the senate of the
state of Kansas, or he house of repre-
sentatives, or the governor to direct the
attorney general to prosecute or defend
any case of public concern, but such 'dI-
rection' must give the attorney general
the fats concerning the specific subject
matter to be litigated, the parties to the
litigation and the names of the witnesses

INJUNCTION is DENIED.
Kaw Paving Company May Now Go on
With Work.

Judge Dana today denied the appli-
cation for an injunction against the
city in the Kaw paving case and the
Topeka concern may now proceed with
the work under a contract awarded
by the city last spring.
At the time the contract was let for
the paving, there were several com
petitive bidders. Owing to the record
of one of the companies in other cities
where work had been done, the con-
tract was awarded the Kaw people,
although their bid was nearly $2,500
higher than the lowest bidder. Injunc-
tion proceedings were then instigatsd
to prevent the city from awarding the
contract In his decision Judge Dana
held that the city commissioners were
warranted in considering the record Of
all bidders in awarding the contract
and that it was not bound to let the
work to the lowest bidder.
The city officials stated this after
noon that every effort would be made
to rush the work on the fifteen blocks
of asphaltic-cOncrete pavement includ-
ed in this contract. 1t is not thought
that the Trinidad company will ap-
peal the injunction to the supreme
court.

date Magistrate Freschi will decide

of trying to murder w. z. D. Stokes,

Wilfred Hart, the elevator operator
who took. Stokes up to the defendants
apartment on June 6, when he was

Commissioner Waldo today took up
the case of the three city detectives
who permitted James Cummings, the
Ansonia house detective to remove the
packet of Stokes letters found in the
girls apartment three days after the
shooting. Cummings testified that
the city detectives did not see him
find the letters and admitted that he
had "secreted' them. Counsel for
the girls maintain there were eighteen
or more letters in the package Only
twelve reached the district attorneys s
office after they had passed through
the hands of Stokes private counsel.
