RULE KNOCKED0UT
Judge SIuss Rules Against
"ReguIars' in Aetna.
Election Meeting Adjourned
Until March 2 by Master.

Judge SIuss today upset the special
bylaws adopted at the october meet
ing of the Aetna Building & Loan as
ISOLATION directors and removed from
the association regulars another of
their substantial props. At the close
of a short morning session, the annual
election was adjourned by consent I'M
til Thursday, March Z, at which time
a report will be filed regarding the
proxies to be voted at the meeting.
When the special custer meeting was
held in October, new bylaw found
its way into the records of the asso-
citation. It provided that a majority
of the stock in force and not delin-
quent at the time of the annual cleo
ton should be represented in person
or by proxy to constitute a lawful
meeting. This provision was in direct
contradiction of the legally accepted
plan of holding election by majority
rule of such stock as is represented
at a meeting.
over the new rule there was much
contention. 1t was just one of many
things to which the insurgent wing Of
the association took exception. Their
contentious were loud and fOrceful-
To Judge Sluss, as master, they ar
gued that the new provision was en-
acted to enable a perpetuation of the
old board in power. They recited that
under the terms of the new bylaw a
perfectly legal election was next to
impossible and that the old board
consistent failures to assemble ma
jority of share holders and proxies.
Further they declared that the pro-
vision was illegally passed. was not
properly voted on and that changes in
the bylaws were not included in the
official call.
Judge Holds With Insurgents.
On these matters Judge Sluss held
with the new crowd Before the
stockholders present, he read a
lengthy opinion in which he politely
but firmly removed the troublesome
section from the rule book. SO the
election will be held under the old
rules of the game.
After disposing of the Objectionable
bylaw, the days business was soon
ended Reports of the committee on
credentials were to the effect that
they could not report for another
week. There was nothing to do but
adjourn. The master held that an adj
journment could be taken to a set date
and the stockholders agreed on anoth-
er session Thursday. March Z.
Pending the final meeting, the re-
port from the credentials committee
will be compiled. This report will be
read at the meeting next week Then
the share owners will be ready to set
tie down to business and vote for the
election of officers.

GORE HELPS CLARK?
Frank Thomas says His Aid Injuries
Wilson's Chances.

The Clark men are not worrying
about the advent of Senator Gore of
Oklahoma in Kansas politics in the in
terest of Wilson. They declare that this
outside interference of the Oklahoma
senator is doing Wilson more harm
than good. Frank Thomas of Topeka,
a Clark man from the headwaters, has
this to say of the Gore effort to lead
Kansas Democrats to Wilson:
''One of the biggest political blunders
of the season is the action of the Will
son men in bringing Senator Gore of
Oklahoma into Kansas to campaign
against Champ Clark. Senator Gore
spoke at Wichita last Saturday night
the day the primaries were held in
Wichita, and the interference in politics
outside of his own state that is strong
for Champ Clark has had a most in
furious effect on Wilson's prospects.
The action is being resented generally
and the Clark men seeing the injury
that is being done Wilson are making
light of it and suggesting that If the
Kansas Democrats need some fellow
from Oklahoma to lead them they at
least ought not to get blind man.
1.-The abuse of Clark has already lost
the Wilson supporters some very valu-
able aid in the Southern portion of the
state and the Clark men are anxious
for Mr. Gore to continue, and they are
even going so far as to extend Gore
invitations to come to different sections
while the primaries or county conven-
lions are being held there, thus helping
along a good movement for Clark. AS
an evidence of the good that the cam
paign is doing Clark his Headquarters
are in receipt of letters from prominent
Democrats in the central and northern
portions of the state Offering their aid
when they have not heretofore been
active owing to the attack that Clark is
receiving from the blind Oklahoma
statesman. Senator Gore is a man of
strong prejudices and his opposition to
Clark, both in Oklahoma and since he
has invaded Kansas, is strenuous, If
not vicious"

DENOUNCES MOT Her
KimmeI Claimant Says Mrs. KimmeI
Shed Stage Tears.

st. Louis, Feb. 27-Resuming the
stand for redirect examination here
in the Kimmel insurance case, the
man who declares he is George A.
Kimmel launched into a denunciation
of Mrs. Estelle Kimmel of Niles, who
denies he is her SON.
You put my mother on the stand
and posted her to shed stage tears,
said the witness.
What love has my mother shown
for me since I disappeared? When
friends went to console with her for
my disapp earance where did they find
her? At a party. What love or SYM
pathy has she ever shown for me?s
did she even put a black ribbon
on herself when she sat up there and
shed crocodile tears?"
Mrs. KimmeIs countenance re
manned placid. She seemed scarcely
to hear the witness. The claimant
went through a catechism on bank
ing methods. Attorneys for the plain
tiff asked the court for a stipulation
setting forth whether the claimant is
sane or insane. Judge Amidon de-
chned to require such stipulation.
Harry Fox and his wife were in
court ready to testify as soon as the
claimant left the stand. Court at
taches said they believed the hearing
would be finished this week
