JOSH CRANE PICKED
 TO WIN COURT TENNIS
Boston Man Will Then Play the Cham pion, Jay Gould, Next Saturday.

Boston, March 2.-Play will begin on Tuesday at the Tennis and Racquet club of this city in the annual court tennis tournament for the national championship. There are five entries. The winner of the tournament will meet Jay Gould, the present cham pion, In the challenge match for the title next Saturday afternoon.
 Mir. Gould has retained the cham pionship during the past five years, having first won it in 1906 as an en- trant from the Tuxedo Tennis and Racquet club. The same year he went abroad and was defeated by Eustace H. Miles in the finals for the worlds championship A year improved young Gould's game greatly and he captured the title from Mir. Miles by narrow margin in 1907. The following season he again went to England for the worlds tournafnent, and this time he won decisively from Miles. The lat ter came to America the same year, but was beaten by Gould in the chal- lenge hatch for the American cham pionship. In 1909 MT. Gould did not defend his title as the worlds great est court tennis player, and it re- verted to MT. Miles, who also won it in 1910, the young American champion not competing abroad Probably the best American player, aside from MT. Gould, is Joshua Crane, Jr., of the To- cal club, and the experts here pick him as the challenger for the title

why I voted for Mr.. Tandy for one
he has such dark eyes and hair and

his pictures And Mr.. Jordan-didn't
you admire his hair? And 1 think Mr..

he bowed so gracefully and removed
his hat and kept it off until l had
passed by. 1 think Mr.. McNeaI is so
cute looking and he tells such funny
stories-but 1 couldn't vote for more
than one
The race for commissioners is close
and fast. Odds favor Miller and Stotts
as leading the ticket. Miller has al
ways been in the lead-and he was
last year. The whirlwind campaign
by Stotts has netted results. Arnold
is surprising the candidates and in the
south end of the city he is carrying
everything. Holman is much stronger
than ever before. Bone and Tandy
are working together and both realize
that they will have to put up a hard
fight to pull through in the first di-
vision. Fink is carrying the First and
Second wards. Goodrich is getting a
good total of scattering votes Jordan
IS especially SlrOIlS III every Wdiu eA-
cept the First and Second. Wells is
fighting like a trooper to get a heavy
vote and his work is counting. Con-
we'll is carrying little outside of his
party vote.
1t is the common belief that the
four high men in the primaries will be
the elected commission after the gen.
eral election a week from tomorrow.
With this general idea in view all the
candidates are working to secure the
coveted first division Three men will
be eliminated from the list of candi-
dates by the primary election today.

WOMEN HAVE A FIGHT.
Then Mrs. PribbIe Gets Warrant for
Assailant, Mrs. Maxwell.

The maddest woman in town today
is Mrs. Eudora Pribble, wife of Irwin
Pribble, of the Pribble PLUMB ing COM
pany. And the second maddest is Mrs.
Addie Maxwell, a widow, who rented
house of Mrs. Pribble at Alb West
Seventh street.
The two engaged in a fistic combat
at the above mentioned number this
morning, and Mrs. Pribble, to even up
the consequences has had a warrant
issued for the arrest of her adversary
on a charge of assault and battery.
Mrs. Pribble's complaint as told in
the office of the county attorney this
morning was that Mrs. Maxwell land
ed three punches to the head. The
complainant showed no bruises but
could not be pacified without the COM
plant being issued. Her husband,
who accompanied her, and Assistant
County Attorney Mcclure made an I'M
successful attempt to induce the lady
to wait until tomorrow, hoping she
would cool off, but she Tetaliated by
telling Mcclure he had no right to re-
fuse her warrant, so he complied
with her desire.
The fighting blood of the two COM
batants has been pretty high. it is said
Pribble spoke to Mrs. Maxwell about
a renewal of a lease some weeks
ago. Mrs. Maxwell was just removing
her belongings to house at 40 Har-
rison street today when her former
landlady appeared to look around the
rooms with a view to having them
papered. Mrs. Maxwell ordered her
out and followed up the order with
physical execution of it.

the bill should be counted as one OF the
three days or whether he is to have
three full days after receiving the bill.
If the day on which the bill was re-
ceived is counted then the governor did
not veto the bill in time, if the Sunday
is counted
The governor has discovered what he
thinks is quite "a joke on the attorney
general regarding one of the bills that
the governor allowed to die There
were two bills, one from the house ana
another from the senate. both amend
ing the same section of the railroad
law relating to road crossings. The
senate bill provided that good and
substantial crossings should be con-
structed over public and private drive
ways wherever needed. This bill the
governor approved. The house bill left
out the words good and substantial
crossing allowing the railroads to
build any sort of a crossing they de-
sired but adding that crossing Should
be constructed for private driveways
when needed by the owners of AUDITING
property.
The governor considered that the
omission of the good and substantial
crossing provision in the house bill was
quite a serious matter so he let the bill
die but the senate bill became a law.
Now the attorney general is trying to
make the house bin a law and as it was
a latter enactment than the senate bill
it would supercede it if the suit of the
attorney general succeeds, making the
law relating to road crossings over
railroads practically worthless.
Governor Stubs and Dave Leahy
got their Arbor Day proclamation out
late Saturday afternoon. Dave wrote
the proclamation early in the morning
but the governor told him some
changes ought to be made in it so it
was held W. Dave had it that there
were more than a billion trees in Kan
sas now while the pioneers found Kan
sas to be a treeless waste. The gov
ernor changed this to read many
millions as Dave admitted that he
had only estimated and had not count
ed the trees. The proclamation fixing
April as Arbor Day follows:
when the pioneers of Kansas as
sumed dominion over the prairies they
found a treeleSs waste. Since then
many million trees have been planted.
adding greatly to the wealth of the
commonwealth. to the comfort of the
people and to the beauty of the land
scape-
Therefore, believing in the wisdom
of concerted action in tree planting,
and in accordance with the custom of
my predecessors, I, w. r. Stubbs, gov
ernor of Kansas, do hereby designate
Friday, April Z, as Arbor Day in this
state and I ask and urge that every
citizen owning land, or having a right
to use it, to plant at least one tree on
that day."

HER STRANGE ESCAPE.
One Girl Dropped Six Stories and
Then Caught on Spike.

Taught OIA SDlAG.
New York. March 27.-Ida Singer. a
If-year-olo ShirtWaiSt maker, who lies
in her home suffering from few mi
nor bruises and cuts, has perhaps the
strangest story to tell of any Of the
hundreds who escaped death in the
washington Place fire horror of Sat
urday afternoon. She was found by
the firemen hanging half conscious to
a spike in the rear wall of the build
ing opposite the third floor landing.
she had fallen from the fire escape at
the ninth floor but the pointed spike
caught in her clothing and saved her
life.

window opening on the narrow fire es-
cape.
Flames were roaring out of the win
dows below but I knew I had to go
down the narrow fire escape and climb

saw many girls rushing toward the
window I had gone through. 1 was
glad they were coming and stopped
crying.
Il felt I had to get down ahead of
them. The iron steps of the ladder
were hot and getting hotter as I went
down. l had taken probably three
steps downward when the first of the
girls rolled out of the window above
me, crashing down on me, and I lost
my balance and felt myself falling. I
remember 1 was almost glad of it be-
fore / lost my senses.
When L woke up 1 was in the fun
niest position. I had to stop and
study it out. My hands were down
by my feet and I was doubled up. I
heard men and women, far off, shout
ing and. screaming 1 tried to move
and couldn't. After long time 1 heard
a voice and window was opened. Two
men got hold of me and took me in
side the building. My coat, skirt and
hat remained on big spike in the

I fell from the ninth floor. In spite

SAVE THE CAMPUS.
Washburn Trustees Rescind ResoIu-
ton to Sell Part of 1t.

The east portion of the Washburn
campus will not be sold-at least. not
until after every other method of
raising funds has failed, and no one is
expecting such a failure. This was de-
cided by the trustees of the college on
account of the many protests which
came in from all quarters as soon as
the announcement was made that a
portion of the campus would serve as
residential sites.
According to Vice President H. &.
Harrison. an active campaign will be
started at an early date with the OBJ
ject of increasing the present endow-
ment of the college by a half million
dollars before 1915. the f1ftieth ami
versary of the institution, and also a
$4,000 annual deficit in current ex-
penses-
A page and a half in the Washburn
review was filled with signed protests
to the proposed sale oil the land on
the east side of the campus. and letters
were received by the board of trustees
expressing disapproval of the plan.

as Required.

E. H. Hoagland, secretary of the
board of railroad commissioners dis
covered today that the Pullman COM

girls had gone down it and that others
had fallen from it in the rush.
But on the two fronts of the build

only way down was the thud-dead
