DOLLEY SAYS mo. /"
Will Not Recognize Delegates Named
by Committees.

State Chairman J. n. Dolley says he
will not recognize the credentials sent
him by county committees for the
state convention delegates from the
counties of Jackson, Dickinson and
| Cowley counties. These delegates
were selected by the county commit
tees of these counties, instead of by
caucus or primary plans. The call for
the state convention requires that
county delegates shall be sent to the
chairman of the state committee in
order that the executive committee of
the state committee may prepare a
Vention. OF course the delegations
thus refused certificates by the state
committee may appeal to the con-
yention for seats
Mr.. Dolley, in defending his de-
cision in this matter, said: TT is a
matter of principle with me and per-
sonallty or party faction has nothing
to do with it. l do not believe county
committees have the right to name
state convention delegates. Nothing
can excuse such an action. I am in
favor of a primary to select DELEGATES
If sat still and made no protest
against such action 1 should be placed
in the light of forsaking my principles.
1 do not care whether progressives or
regulars win by this method or who
has the advantage in friendly COM
mittees L will stop it if 1 can. 1 will.

JANE adams COMING
Founder of Hull House Will Address
Kansas Suffragists.

Jane Adams, of Hull House, Chicago
is coming to Topeka the first part OF
May in the interest of the suffrage
campaign. She will speak at the con-
Vention of the State Equal Suffrage
association in Emporia May Z and 8,
Also Rev. Olympia Brown Willis, pres
ident of the Wisconsin Equal Suffrage
association, will be a speaker at the
convention. Mrs. Willis was one of the
early campaigners for suffrage In kan
sas when the amendment was first SUD-
nitted to the popular vote. The sur
frage headquarters have issued the call
for the convention.
Following the convention on the
morning of May 9, a state conference
of all county, district, and state officers
will be held. Every member who mas
paid the so cents dues since the last
state convention is entitled to a vote
in the Emporia convention. Eighty OF
the 1O5 counties of the state belong
the state league, and many representa-
tives from all those counties are ex-
pected to attend the convention. The
bulletin from headquarters says:
sOf the seven states that have
amendments pending, Kansas is the
most important to the cause. No other
state has municipal suffrage. and a
denial to grant full suffrage woulc
mean that our voters did not consider
that we had used our ballots for the
last 25 years in a way that entitled US
to promotion All member are asked
to attend and give inspiration to their
fellow workers who believe that the
whole citizenship of a republic should
have a voice in it's government.

MAY NOT Be TOO LATE
Chance That Change OF Venue Amend
ment May Go to Voters.

The attorney general and the secre-
tary of state had a conference this
morning to arrange some method of
determining whether it would be pos
sible to submit to the people this fall
the resolution to amend the constitu-
ton which was passed by the 1egisla-
ture in 1908 giving the state the right
to a change of venue in criminal cases.
1t appears that upon the advice of
Attorney General Coleman it was not
submitted in 1904 on account of de-
fects in its legislative history. Since
then in the case of City of Belleville
VS.. Seth G. Wells, state auditor, the
supreme court laid down the rule con-
corning legislative history of bills as
follows: 1.-The enrolled bill imports
absolute verify and is to be taken as
conclusive unless the journals of eth
er house show conclusively, incontest-
ably and beyond all doubt that the en-
rolled bill is not the bill which passed
the legislature" If that broad rule
had been declared before 1904 the
change of venue amendment undoubt
eddy would have been submitted to the
electors at that time.
The State Bar association recon-
mended the bringing of test case to
see if it is too late to submit the
amendment this fall. This can be
done without expense and Attorney
General Dawson and Secretary of State
Sessions will probably arrange a law
suit to that end within a day or two.

CREWS MAKE Up.
Wife Abandons Suit Against Auction
eer Husband.

On the promise that her husband will
abandon the drink habit, Mamie Crews
this afternoon dismissed her separate
maintenance suit against Charles Crews,
the auctioneer. In a statement made to-
day, Mrs. Crews said she was confident
her husband would save his money and
not squander his earnings for liquor.
In her suit last week, the wife did not
ask for a divorce. She merely asked the
court to set aside the property rights for
herself and children and award such ALI
mony as would insure their living. Drink
was the only trouble that entered into
the Crews family affairs and last week
the wife abandoned her continued efforts
to reform her husband.
I'VE have settled everything. Mrs.
Crews said today, and I am sure Charley
Will quit drinking. He earns a good liv-
ing and we can always be happy if he
will just leave liquor alone"
Crews himself said that he would not
drink again and was glad that his wife
had given him another chance to make
good. This afternoon Edwin McKeever,
as attorney for Mrs. Crews, filed a jour
nal entry dismissing the case.

TOO MANY VISITORS.
Mrs. HaIloweIl Says Most of Hus-
bands Callers Were Women.

For the second time the Hallowell
divorce case has been called for trial
in the district court. This time Leila
l.. Halloweu asks for a separation
from Henry B. Hallowell. Six months
ago the husband wanted to be free
from the wife, but the case was dis
missed on statutory grounds.
1t was because Halioweu spent too
much time with ether women that the
wife now wants a decree. On the wit
! ness stand this morning she told the
court of the innumerable and unnam-
able soul mates and affinities who
found their way to HallowelPs rooms
and stayed with the man when he
ought to have oeen at home with his
wife. She could neither name the
other women nor give any accurate
guess as to the number of persons of
opposite sex on whom Hallowell show
cred evidences of affection.
Once, Mrs. HalloWeH said she wont
to her husbands room late at night.
Through a crack she saw HallOwell
with another woman She knocked
on the door and after a long delay
the husband answered the door. Not,
however, until the wifes rival for at
tention had hidden in a closet. Hal
lowell then told his wife he would
knock her .stiff'' if she searched the
closet. This woman, Mrs. Halloween
testified, was a striking young bru-
nette with flashy eyes and of stocky
build.
The next night Mrs. Eallowell
found a decided blonde spending the
evening with her husband. Thus Hal
lowell continued to run the scale and
scatter his love and attention broad
cast When the wife took the man
to task there was always trouble;
and once TIalloweI is said to have
urged his wife % assist him in con-
Quoting a roadhouse near Topeka.
Other witnesses many of them
women-win tell of seeing women
other than the wife in the rooms
where Hallowell stayed. There are
stories of female wearing apparel
found in HalIowelFs room, on his bed
and on a clothes line in the room.
Many of these stories will be denied
by Hallowell, who is contesting the
case. He objects to the granting of
a divorce Especially does he OBJ
ject to the payment of permanent ali
mony and numerous witnesses will be
used by both the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT.
Since filing her petition for d.
vorce, Mrs. Hailowell said she has
earned her living by selling Saratoga
chips. She has thus earned about
