THREE GET DIVORCE.
One Divorce Action Is Taken Under
Amusement.

| Four actions for divorce were aired
in Judge Danas division of the district
| court today; and in three of the cases,
DEGREES were granted. A fourth applica-
ton was taken under advisement.
| The granting of a decree to Loehr NJ.
| Grubbs probably attracted more atten-
ton at the court hous, than any di-
| vorce of the day. He was given di-
vorce from his young wife, Winifred r.
! Grubbs, who has been living with her
mother in California the last two years
The GrubbS wedding occurred in Red
lands, Cal, September 25 1903. After
| the ceremony the couple came to To-
peka, where the husband was for sew
eral years engaged in the drug bust
| ness. He is registered pharmacist,
and is widely known in Topeka. Two
years ago, Mrs. Grubbs left her home
here and went to San Francisco, where
she has lived with her mother and other
relatives. Abandonment was given as
grounds for separation. Mrs. Grubbs
sent a waiver of service and Judge
Dana granted a decree less than so
minutes after the petition was filed in
the clerks office.
Gordon Kline, who wanted a divorce
from Vera L. Kline, must wait awhile.
Judge Dana thought the Kline family
affairs had been too much before the
courts recently and told the husband
that public policy demanded the APP
plfcation of the air brakes. Kline and
his wife were married in 1905. Three
years later, the wife got a divorce. In
1910-Kinne said he didn't know Just
why-they were married. Now Kline
is dissatisfied with domestic affairs and
wants a decree of his own The court
viii think it over. The couple are the
parents of two children and some val
liable property rights are involved m
the action.
Edith Pelle, a North Topeka girl,
showed Judge Dana black eye as one
of the reasons why she should not live
with Fred PelIe. Her husband is in the
employ Of the American Express com
pany. Two weeks ago Mrs. Pelle took
her husband to task when she saw him
make eyes at strange woman at the
Union Pacific depot. Pelle chided her
about trivial affairs. Then he lost his
temper and Mrs. PelIe said he struck
her at least a dozen times with his
fist. The black eye was one of the
marks of the encounter. The wife was
given decree, the household furniture
and her maiden name, Edith Ward
John Marks, who chose a Is year old

sure that if the court would help him
this time, he wouldn't try it again. He

standard were not offered. Ex-State
PRINTER McNeal has never been d1sputed
IN his statement that Kansas can make
better books than she now has at saw
ing OF two hundred thousand dollars an
nual!y- Unless the members of the com
mission positively know this statement TO
be wrong, is 1t right for them to proceed
70 ADOPT the books publishers themselves
say are inferior?
publishers will refuse to state to the
commission, in writing, that the books
they are offering Kansas are their best
Novices, or those dealing in revamped
ant1quated stock with practically on
trade elsewhere, merely vest pocket pub
fishers, here to take advantage OF our
dilemma may. but not an experienced,
established publisher will so state. There
fore, something decisive ought to be done
No one loyal to Kansas would be willing
to go ahead. 1t is clearly in violation OF
the spirit of the law. Children are the
architects of their own fate and school
books of Kansas the tools with which our
SOB, 600 children build. One-half of all the
enormous tax paid by this state goes TO
the support of her schools.
Could anything be of more supreme i'm
portance to the state? The law makes the
governor directly responsible for results,
and for nearly two months, Governor
Stubs has abandoned the entire matter
to his office force. In view of all he has
said about allowing no one to draw from
the state treasury dllar without render
ing dollars worth of service, isn't this
bold? MRS. ELLA. S. BURTON.

WALLACE DENIES ALL.
Says He Wasn't With Morris Girl
Charged With Murder.

For the first time since he was taken
TO Jail, Andrew Wallace was today
permitted to be seen by visitors. At
the Jail he was seen by representative
of the State Journal, to whom he
made a statement denying his guilt.
Wallace admits that he walked one
block with Mabel Morris the night she
left home but declares he went to
bed at o'clock that night and says
he does not know how the girls watch
and 1ocket were found in the pool hall
where he worked.
The night the girl left home, Sun
day, April 81, I met Miss Morris and
walked one block with her. said Wal
lace. 1T was nearly o'clock and
was standing at Twelfth and Buchanan
streets opposite the Shiloh Baptist
church. Miss Morris was with a Miss
Campbell. Possibly we stopped on the
corner minute and talked. I won't
be sure. Then we walked north on
Buchanan to King street. 1 do not
recall the conversation in detail. 1t
was about current and local events as
near as remember. Not once did
hold the girls arm, nor did she hold
my arm 1 remember that the street
I1ghts were burning and we could be
plainly seen by anyone on the street
The statement that 1 had my arm
around the girls waist is positively
false. AT King street I told Mabel
goodby and she said goodby to me-
She continued north on Buchanan
street toward her home and 1 went
west on King street to Lane and to
my home. L must have reached home
not later than $50 and my wife and 1
went to bed about o'clock, although
did not notice the exact time. In my
talk with the Morris girl and our walk,
did not notice that she showed signs
of being melancholy or that she seem
ed different from any other time.
They say they found the girls
watch and locket in the pool hall
where I worked. 1 don't know If they
did, God knows how they got there.
don't. Someone put them there, that
is sure; and swear 1 never saw them
So far as that girl was concerned, 1
had only a speaking acquaintance
with her.
On information charging first de-
gree murder, a warrant was issued
for Wallace today and he was finally
placed under arrest. The inquest will
be held next Saturday.
Plans for a chemical analysis of the
Morris girls stomach were announced
last night by county officials. More
than a dozen witnesses have been
summoned for the coronor's inquest
Another link in the chain of evil
dence against the man was brought
out late yesterday when Mrs. Wallace
gave an affidavit in which she SAID
that her husband came home late the
night the Morris girl left home. The
wife said she was in bed when her
usband came and did not know what
time he came home.

Against Whom Charges Were Filed
Today.

The charges were made last Feb
ruary. The department of justice has
made an inquiry, sending a represent
ative into Pennsylvania where the
deals were supposed to have been
made. Judge Archibald has not yet
been heard in the matter but probably
Will be called early to offer his ex-
PLANTATION.
Judge Archibald is from Pennsyl-
vania and was appointed to the COM
merce court by President Taft Janu-
airy 81, 1911. He is a circuit judge
and his tenure on the commerce court
will be four years after which he re-
turns to the third circuit.
President Taft, in a message to the
house in response to the Norris reso-
luton asking for the papers in the
case of Judge Robert w. Archibald
of the commerce court, charged with
having used his office to procure IA
vors from railroads, said it was not
compatible with the public interest to
make all the papers public at this
time. He said they had been sent to
the judiciary committee of the house
for such further investigation as it
might desire to make. 1t will rest
with this committee whether or not
impeachment proceedings shall be be-
0lIn.
