BREAK IN DEADLOCK.
Democrats Permit Confirmation of
Two Taft Appointments.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE first break m
the deadlock over President Taft'S APP
points pending in the senate came toda V
when at an executive session Brigad:cr
General Charles B. Aleshire was con-
firnned as major general and Surgeon
General George NJ. Torney was confirmed
as brigadier general This action fol-
lowed a caucus by the Democrats but the
lines are still SO sharply drawn between
Republicans and Democrats that no fur
Their concessions are expected in the i'm
mediate future except on army, navy and
diplomatic appointments.
The Democrats at their caucus before
the session adopted Senator Myers reso-
luton that only navy and diplomatic ap-
pointments should be allowed to go
through without objection The senate
did not act on the case of B-igadier Cen
eral Wotherspoon Col. John Nc
Clearnaud.
The deadlock is expected to continue
over the majority of the 1900 nominations
now pending.
The Democrat caucus provided that the
Democrats should adhere to the plan
adopted until further action by the cat
Gus, a suggestion made by Senator Gore.
The fight in the senate probably will be
renewed early next week to determine
the length to which both parties will go
in the struggle.

old LOVE REEVES
Lovers so Years Ago, They
Marry at Last.
Each Had Married and Lost
Mate i'm Meantime.

Dodge City, Jan. 11.-Louis Doyle,
a wounded Confederate soldier, went
to the home of his sister at PlyIn outh,
ILL.,, to recuperate after his release
from Union prison near the close of
the war. The Southern soldier won the
heart of 16 year old Frances Lawson.
In spite of the fact that her father
was an abolitionist postmaster and she
was engaged to marry Ed. H. Rife.
She eloped with Doyle to marry him
and go to live on a farm near Mary
Vile, Mo. She reared a family who
still live there. Eight years ago her
husband died.
Rife went to Wyoming after his un-
fortunate love affair, married and
prospered. A year ago his wife died
and last fall he returned to Plymouth
to a reunion and there met his boy
hood sweetheart. The love of half a
century was rekindled and last week
they were married. They arrived yes
terday in Dodge City for a visit with
Mrs. NJ. E. Pendleton, a cousin of Mr..
Rife and DR.. c.. A. Milton, both of
whom were childhood playmates and
schoolmates with the bride and BRIDE
groom.
Mr.. Rife owns a 10000 acre sheep
ranch in Wyoming over two hundred
thousand sheep, and is president of
the Wyoming stock association. They
will make their home there after a
honeymoon trip to the coast.

BRINGS HER PROOF
Social Worker Tells House
Committee of Conditions
Prevailing in the Canning
Camps of New York.

Washington, Jan. 11-Labor and
housing conditions among the workers
in the canning camps of New York
state were attacked today by Miss
Mary Boyle O'Reilly, a social worker
before the house rules committee which
is considering a resolution by Repre-
sentative Allen, of Ohio, for the APP
poin tnent of a special committee to
investigate conditions in the fruit and
vegetable canning industry throughout
the country Miss O'Reilly said she
had spent a month as a worker in the
canning camps and had returned to
them with F. c. Purdy, of the New
York state department of labor Mr..
Purdy was on hand to corroborate
Miss O'Reilly's testimony Miss O'Reilly
produced a large number of photo
graphs she had taken in the camps.
Diseased workers, bad housing con-
ditions. lack of sanitation and neglect
of ordinary sanitary precautions in the
separation of canned products were
charged by Miss O'Reilly.
She said that all of the children IN
the camps over the age of 10 were
employed in the factories She in.
stanced one boy, Dominick PERI,
years old who. she said. worked ten
hours a day for 20 cents.
She told of scores of families lodged
in great shacks built without sanitary
arrangements. without water and with
out accommodation for cooking the
food of the workers. In one instance
she said she found six children I'M
der II years old, keeping house in
the cellar of shack. while the remain
der of the two families to which they
belonged were at work in the camps.

CALM, COLD NERVE.
An Indicted Postmaster Asks Bone to
Continue His Case.

Harry ]. Bone, United States district
attorney, declares that one of the most
unique cases ever brought to his notice
came under his observation this morning.
1t came in the form of a courteously
worded epistle from a Kansas postmaster.
VINO recently plead guilty 10 defraudin.r
the United States government of severaI
hundred dollars. The postmaster was to
appear at the Kansas City term Of court
but calmly explains to Mr.. Bone that his
federal duties are at present so prassing
that he won't be able to leave them and
appear at his trial If perfectly conven-
lent to the government, he would prefer
TO plead guilty a a later date
And" chuckled Mr.. Bone pocketin-
the postmaster's letters Il see no reason
why he shouldn't have what he wants.
1T is necessary for me to be here for
several weeks, writes the postma ster
politely, therefore, / am taking the lib
erty of asking you to continue my case
until the next term of court. L have a
number of reports to make out. but am
expecting new postmaster to be ap-
pointed at an early date"
The story underlying the postmas !
request is this: He was recently indicted
by the federal grand jury for shortage in
his accounts The postmaster pleaded
guilty. and the shortage was made up by
his bondsmen. Then what happened?
Why-no other postmaster being in sight
he was returned to his office, and has
been there ever since. His continuance of
duties seemed perfectly satisfactory to
the postal department. He is doing his
work accurately. and just recovering from
d rush of Christmas mail.
Having no time to leave his annual re-
port making, he gravely requests the fed
eral attorney to postpone his case.
And, declares Mr. Bone, I think that,
his case until he can find time to get
away rom his official duties"

over 1000 WEDDINGS
Judge Schoch Officiafed in That
Many in Four Years.

During the four years he has been
in the office of probate judge. w. F.
Schoch has performed a total of 1,O04
maria ges, officiating for more than
one-fourth of all those who make APP
plication here for marriage licenses.
The ratio is high on account of the
large number of non-residents who
come here to be married.
During the four years it is estimat-
ed that something less than 5000
marriage licenses have been issued.
The number of ceremonies performed
by Judge Schoch, therefore. amount
almost to one out of every three.
Judge Schoch believes that most of
the knots he has tied have stuck"
noticed in the records of the divorce
courts. Incidentally there have been
few cases in which those whom he
married have applied for divorces and
have been denied. Among them is
the famous case of John G.. Cooper,
married the last time by the probate
Judge Both Cooper and his wife
asked for DEGREES, and both were de-
MED.
During his term of office Judge
Schoch has married one couple twice.
ceremonies divorce was granted.
and afterward the couple made up
and decided to try it all over gain.
During the time also he has per-
formed the ceremony for a couple for
one of whom he secured a divorce
prior to his election to his office. But
cases of this kind are comparatively
rare.
Judge Schoch has watched pretty
closely the record of non-residents,
and he believes that of all the Ii
censes applied for. 80 per cent are
for brides who live outside of Shaw
nee county. Many of them accom-
pany their prospective husbands to
apply for licenses, and were married
by the judge. The percentage of hus-
bands who are non-residents is even
greater. A large amount of the mar
riage business, therefore, is from out
of the city
The ratio of maria es performed
by the Judge in his term have averaged
PSI a year, or nearly one for every
day. They run on an aver
age of about five a week. So it prob
ably will not be many days before the
new probate Judge will be called upon
to officiate at ceremony.
Only five appeals in four years, all
of which have sustained the judy
ment of the probate court, is the re-
record of Judge w. f.
