temper had become habitual on the
part of the latter. He also declared
the Ainsworth report to be the combi-
nation OF outbreaks evidencing such
intolerance and characterization and
such readiness to impugn the motives
or the intelligence of those with whom
II is your duty to work in association
as, if uncorrected, to destroy your use
fulneSS in your present Office
Regarding the attack on himself,
Secretary Stimson said he referred the
matter to the president who directed
General Ainsworth'S release pending
ard Wood, chief of staff, has had many
clashes with General Ainsworth.
Colonel II. P Mccain has succeeded
General Ainsworth.
Although a rupture between the
general staff and the adjutant gener-
els office has been regarded for some
time as inevitable in view of the ex-
tremely bitter personal relations that
have existed and particularly since the
rather sensational reorganization
scheme reported from the house com
mittee on military affairs in connec
ton with the pending army appropria-
ton bill, tOday's action of the secretary
of war and the president proved a de-
Ammunition for Democrats.
Although General Ainsworth has re-
peatedly denied responsibility or auth
orship for the legislation reported
posed by the administration it was be-
lieved that he at least was furnishing
the ammunition for the congressional
opponents of the war departments
policies, in proof of which it was
pointed out that Chairman Hay was
in possession of much information
that must have emanated from the
adjutant generals office.
Never before in the history of the
army has the adjutant general been
court martialed. In fact it is rare to
find an instance where any officer of
corresponding rank has been before
the court. The last case was that of
Colnmissary General Egan, who so
bitterly assailed Lieutenant General
Miles in connection with the latter's
charges that poisonous canned beef
had been served to the army in Cuba.
He was found guilty and sentenced tN
dismissal, but this was committed to
six years suspension.
Because of his exalted rank it will
be difficult to assemble a court for
the trial of General Ainsworth, who,
next to General Leonard Wood, is the
senior officer of the army.

CALL HIM COWARD
Woman Suffragists Denounce
Governor Woodrow Wilson.
They Brand Him ga Mean Pet
tifOgging Politician"

New York. Feb. 15.-Goyernor var
sons letter to Miss Edith Whitmnre on
the suffrage question has provoked q
storm of criticism among suffra gists.
.'he letter, which was made public ;.y
Miss WIitemore follows:
My Dear Madane:-Allow me to ac-
knowledge With real appreciation your
letter of January 81 in which you put
to me a very difficult question
Il can only say that my own mind
is in the midst of the debate which it
involves. do not feel that L am ready
10 utter any confident judgment as yet
about it. 1 am honestly trying to work
my way toward just conclusion.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
tSisned) WOODROW WILSON,
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Batch, presi-
dent of the Women's Political union
Il think Governor Woodrow wilson
would be a most dangerous man 70
have in The presidential chair. His at
titude on the suffrage question shows
that he is not a statesman but mere
pettifogsing politician.
IF the people elected Governor Will
son to Office he would be constantly try
ing to make up his mind.
Governor Wilson is not considering
the subject as one of the worlds big
questions. but merely from the narrow
viewpoint of self interest. He is simply
balancing the question whether it would
be to his interest to ignore it or to
favor it.
1T is plain to see that if he has any
convictions on the subject he is too
coWardly to express them at this time.
President Taft is no letter man than
Governor Wilson. Taft has said he
wrote an article ON suffrage when he
was Is years old and has not given
the subject any thought since. Fancy
two such unfortunate gentlemen aspIr-
ing to public office"
Governor Wilson's obvious lack OF
interest IN the subject of suffrage" said
Mrs. Sophie I-oebinger. ''disqualifies him
for public of6ceholding. Such a man is
not even fitted to be governor of a
state"

viii Not Pay More Than S1.25
a Day for Work.
Pass Over Objections of State
Labor Commissioner.
TO END OF MARCH
City Plans to Handle All Char
ity Labor Possible.
Unions Lose Their Fight for a
Current Scale.

The board of city commissioners
TINS morning defied the orders from
the state labor commissioner on the
wage question and passed a resolution
providing work for the idle in Topeka
throughout the months of February
and March at $1.25 a day. The labor
commissioner has informed the city
commissioners that $1.25 a day is be-
low the current scale and therefore
against the law
After investigating the labor prob
lem in Kansas City, where they are
paying from 10 cents to dollar a day
and after looking into the unskilled
labor matter in Topeka with the opin-
ion that the schedule does not go over
$1.50 a day and after witnessing dis
tressing scenes among the laboring
men hunting for work, the commits
slonerS decided to risk the law and
stick to their old price.
The price of $1.25 day is not
fought by the men who want work
but by the Topeka Industrial council,
union organization, and a few I'M
ion men in the city. Men who want
work, however, are anxious to work
for dollar a day if the city declares
this wage
In the last few weeks the city has en-
ployed hundreds of men and kept their
families in food and warmth through the
work beneath the Melan bridge and in the
has been a salvation to the idle men, It
has kept men in work who could not earn
tnaI Inuch money IN any otner way
For some time it feared that the
work would be stopped by the state labor
commissioner who informed the commits
sioners that it was against the law to
pay a scale less than the current wage
This was taken up by the unions in the
city and a fight was on.
In their action today the city commits
sioners have waved the rag of defiance
in the face of the men who have tried
to stop the work. They have risked the
law and rely upon the courts if neces-
sary to pardon them for giving work to
the poor and needy.
Commissioner Miller who has worked
for $3.50 day scale was voted down to-
day. This would tear a larger hole in
the city funds and cut short the work
Commissioner Stotts and Commissioner
Tandy fought for the $1.25 a day schedule
on the theory that the work would last
longer and they won.

HOLD UP A TAXI.
Highwaymen Rob Bank Messengers of
$4,000.

New York. Feb. f5.-Twenty-five
thousand dollars in currency was stolen
from taxicab in the heart of the
financial district by three highwaymen
who sprang into the vehicle and over
powered w. F. Smith and Frank War
dell messengers of the East River Ma
tional bank. Both messengers were Sc
riously injured and the robbers escaped
with the money 1000 in So bills and
$40. 600 in 800 bills.
The currency was being transported
from the Produce Exchange bank in
the lower part of the city.
The taxicab had proceeded up Broad
way without mishap when for some
reason the chauffeur turned west of
Rector street into Church street, skirt
ing the side and rear of Trinity church
yard. About midway of the old ceme-
terry three men sprang from the curb,
one jumped on the chauffeur's seat; the
other two got into the vehicle. The
man on the seat pressed a revolver in
his overcoat pocket against the side Of
the chauffeur Gino Martini. and COM
manded him to drive swiftly on without
making an outcry. Inside the vehicle
the two robbers were belabOring the
bank messengers over the head.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Adjutant
General Fred c. Ainsworth of the
army has been relieved from duty at
the war department and soon will be
ordered before a court martial. While
the charges have not been framed, It
Is understood they will be based on

Ainsworth remarked it would be diff
