WEEDS; LOSES WEALTH
Mrs. James A. Garland Will Be Mar
ried Saturday.

Boston, May 23.-Mrs. James A. Gar
land, widow of the late millionaire
yachtsman, will be married Saturday
and will thereby automatically forfeit
a fortune of 100000
Mrs Garland was bound by her hus-
band in his will in exactly the same
way as Mrs. John Jacob Astor-that
she could only retain the fortune by
remaining single.
Mrs Garland was twice married to
the millionaire yachtsman. having di-
vorced him in 1903 and remarked him
seventeen months later after a court
ship that took place on his yacht. She
was at his bedside at his death three
years later.
The widow was made co-trustee of
the will with two business friends of
Mr.. Garland. She engaged Francis
Gushing Green, an attorney with a
moderate income as her legal adviser.
Lawyer and client were thrown to-
gether frequently and the engagement
resulted.
The Garland fortune now goes to
Mrs. Garland's three sons. If the sons
die without heirs the money is to go
to Harvard university.

SHUTTING OFF WATER
City Enforces Rule Requiring Meters
in Topeka.

Before this evening the employees of the
city waterworks department will have
shut off the water from nearly fifty resi-
dences in Topeka. Failure on the part of
the water consumers to make the proper
changes from flat to meter rates is the
reason.
Commissioner Miller gives out the state
ment today that unless a consumer pays
Tor his meter, the water will be stopped
The fact that person makes the connec-
ton change or pays a deposit will not
free him from the city law. A meter
must be purchased.
1t is said, however, that the city has
met no trouble in shutting off the water
In nearly every case the consumers have
rushed to the water office, paid for their
meter and have been given water advan-
tageS again.
Il regret the action that Is necessary"
said Mr.. Miller this afternoon. I'm Justice
to the people who have paid for their
meter and connections and in view of the
fact that we have given out three notices,
believe that the consumers have no kick
coming.
I'VE have written to every city and
town in Kansas with municipality owned
water plants. We find that with one ex-
ception all of them require a deposit be-
fore water is turned on. Many persons in
Topeka have received the impression that
Topeka was the only city with this rule

START CLEAN UP
Chief jenkins to Rid Town OF
Undesirable Characters.
More Petty Thieving Is Report
ed-POlice lettings.

The proposed clean up of the city,
which was predicted in the State
Journal Wednesday was started by
the police Wednesday night. The
clean up, not for sanitary purposes
but to rid the city of number of OBJ
jectionable characters who have
come from a number of the larger
towns, has resulted from the belief
that these characters are responsible
for the robberies and burglaries
which have occurred within the last
few weeks.
A number of robberies and a num-
Der of minor crimes have been per-
petrated in the lower parts of the city
during the last few weeks. The
strangers are held responsible.
The police announced Wedne sday
that they would make an effort to rid
the city of these characters. Among
those who were arrested that night
were Lawson Crecher, who is sup

EAST SIDE PARK
City Officials Approve Pur-
chase of Klein Tract.
StOtts' UItimatum Through
State Journal Is Fruitful.

Through the action of E. B. Stotts,
city commissioner, the city board to-
day received an ordinance providing for
the creation of a benefit district to
pay for the purchase of the Klein tract
as an East side park. The benefit
district includes all of the territory
bounded by the city limits on the
east, Tenth avenue on the south, Kan
sas avenue on the west and the KAN
SaS river on the north,
The ordinance has been prepared
for some time and was reviewed in the
State Journal two weeks ago. Three
appraisers will be appointed to con-
denim the land, and determine the fair
price for the purchase of the tract.
An East side park now is assured.
Ten weeks ago Commissioner Stotts
gave out an ultimatum through the
State Journal warning the East side
residents against retarded action on
their part to procure park. He gave
them until the first of June to pre-
pare petitions and sign them asking
for a park. The ultimatum brought
Immediate response. Petitions signed
by. more than 1000 taxpayers have
been received by Commissioner Stottss
The city commissioners favor a park
on the East side and the first official
action today guarantees them their
long looked for breathing place.

FEDERALS RETIRE.
Army is Driven Back
Five Miles by OrozcO
After a Fierce Battle Lasting
Several Hours.

Rellano, May sS-After three hours
or more of fighting today between the
Mexican federal and rebel armies, re-
ports from the rebel front seemed to
indicate a slight advantage over the
army of Madero. The inSurrectos held
firm their position, captured several
federal guns and repulsed federal
attempt at fanking.
The fighting of yesterday is declared
to have resulted in a loss of $50 or
more government troops. 1t is claim
ed Orozco drove off federal cavalry
charge with great loss to the assail-
ants.
Chiefs of the contending armies are
directing in person their forces. Gen
eral OroZco has been near his front
rank since the engagement began and

Orozco's brother officers begged him
not to expose himself, but he con-
tinued to command personally at a
PEELED the federal cavalry charge yes
terday with an estimated loss to the
government of $50 men.
The rebel lines are stretched over
five miles in the trenches in front of
Rellano. Water is scarce and the
heat of the sun is intolerable. Elk
pIoding shells stir up clouds of alkaH
dust that not only stiles the parched
Threats of the troopers but 1nterfereS
with rifle aim.
Town People Have Fled.
The residents of the town have fed
many miles north. The rebels are
Handicapped by lack of artillery. The
federals have all their big guns in ac-
ton and the bombardment has at
times been terrible, but the rebels have
never wavered, holding their intrench-
ed positions until the federal infantry
advanced under cover of the artillery
to a point we'll within range of smaller
guns.
The deadly hail of lead the rebels
late yesterday afternoon poured into
the advancing columns of government
troops was well directed but the in
slant the federals broke, they were rail-
lied by their officers and again ad
vanced, only to be driven back a Sec
ond and third time, finally retiring to
Asunsolo, five miles south
If the rebels are dislodged it will be
because of the superior handling of the
federal force, which in the last two
weeks has been gradually forcing the
rebels a distance of ia miles north
and away from Torreon, the railway
gateway of North Central Mexico. Tor
reon was originally the objective point
of the revolutionists in this campaign.
The scarcity of food and water, the
burning heat and the sitting atmos-
phere that spreads over the sandy ia
bleland where the battle RACES today,
make it seem impossible for either side
to keep its whole force in the field for
many hours at a time

GOOD BILL AT NOVELTY
Something New in Stage Cartoon Work
Is Shown.

Among the features of the changed
bill at the Novelty will be the act pre-
scented by Fritz Houston, the clever
artist entertainer and former news
paper cartoonist of New York. In
stead of sketching on sheets of paper
with crayons. Mr.. Houston employs
a unique rejecting apparatus The
pictures are drawn upon small discs
of glass coated black, and as the pen
Gil moves over the glass the same lines
are reflected upon a large sheet at the
back of the stage setting by means of
lenses and a powerful electric arc light.
Every line from the start to the finish
of a picture is seen to appear on the
large sheet simultaneous with the
drawing of it upon the small glass
discs. It is a distinct novelty in car
looming and Houston is said to be one
o. the cleverest artists appearing be-
fore the public.
Jimmy Dunn comes highly recon-
mended as a joker He also sings and
mirnics.
Gredsmith and Hoppe have received
good reports from other cities where
they have played and will prove their
ability as entertainers while in To-
peka.
