Writers of every kind and description have been eagerly discussing the pro posal which they regard as the boon of the century. A noticeable decrease of enthusiasm. however. took place when it became known that the new organization does not intend to make the editors accept everything submit ted to .hem. As now outlined it will be d combination of Writers-not in re- straint of trade howeVer-who hope to correct certain abuses to be found at times in he magazine field. The chief thing which the league hopes to ac- complisn is the prompt return for man uscript submitted. either in the shape of the manuscript itself or in coin. As one man who is d founder explained, there are a number of little things most trying to the soul of an author. He submits his manuscripts and the editor takes his own sweet time in passing upon it. Nothing can hurry him. although there may be a demand in the market for that particular kind of stuff He can take it and pay on publication. which may be several gen. erations hence. he may change his mind after acceptance: he may do any thing h,. chooses. Doubtless maga- zine cdircrs generally will be relieved to hear that it is merely the correction of this condition that is to be at tempted and not a demand that all manuscrLpts be purchased

 For more than two years prior to January, 1912. the operators state. there had been a great deal of cur tailment and poor business not only in Lawrence. but elsewhere. This was due to tariff Legislation. to the hobble skirt and to the fads of women. The business was curtailed to the extent of almost 40 per cent. much of this curtailment being caused by the new style of wearing tight fitting skirts. So the ladies of the fashionable world are informed that they are partly to be blamed for the Lawrence strike.

CHARGED WITH
WHITE SLAVERY

Devils Lake, N. D., Nov. 15.-Roy
Richardson, about 25 years of age who
gave his residence as California, was
arrested at the Lockwood hotel by
Potrolman P G.. limbo on complaint
sworn to by woman giving her name
as Pearl LeMay. She charges Rich
ardson with white slavery, claiming
that he has lived off the earnings Of
her life of shame.
Richardson bears all the earmarks
of bad man, and when arrested was
packing a gun big enough, as the
police put it, "to drive into with a
load of hay" Dice, marked cards,
etc, were also found in his possession
and altogether he sizes up as a very
undesirable citizen.
The woman in the case is probably
between % and 25 years of age and
from her appearance 1t is hardly pos
sibIe that she is altogether innocent.
The couple registered at the Lock
wood as man and wife. Richardson
was brought before Justice Juergens
and was bound over to the district
court. his bond being fixed at $500,
The woman was also placed upder a
bond in the sum of 5000 to appear as a
witness. Both of them defaulted and
went to Jail.

LOUNSbERRY'S
TRIAL DELAYED

Topeka, Kan. Nov. 15.-The trial of
Wells Lounsberry was expected to
commence next week. but it is now
understood that it will go over until
some time after the first of the year
probably in January. He has fully
confessed to the attempt to hold up
the mail car, and it is understood that
the defense will be that he must not
have been in his right mind at the
time owing to injuries he had re-
ceived while railway mail clerk.
The accused was a. man of the best
habits and there is nothing that can
be found against his record; he was
not in need of funds either at the
time of the alleged crime, and it is
difficult to ascribe a motive for the
act if he was in his right mind when
the robbery occurred. 1t is under
stood that there will be a large num-
ber of his former associates in the
railway mail service at his trial.
