ON S25 A WEEK
Mrs. Susan Wakefield, Suing for
Divorce From Millionaire, Says
Example Should Aid Others. 4

BOSTON, Sept. 70.-Bvery married
man should insist that her husband
keep her informed about his business
particularly II the husband L. in
clined to irresponsibiIity in money az
fairs, It's a shock to suddenly wake
up and find that you have got to sub
stttute a $25-a-week allowance for q
luxurious home and all the money
that comfort and luxury demands.
Mrs Susan NJ. Wakefield, wife Of
Cyrus Wakefield. son Of the late mil
llonaire rattan manufactures, who
was last week awarded t36 weekly
from Mr. Wakefield pending divorce
proceedings this fall. thinks st would
jar the average weTl-to-do wife 10

her limit Of income.
The termination Of the romance Of
Susan Wakefield and her wealthy
young husband has caused the biggest
sensation in Wakefield that the quiet
and aristocratic little town has ever
known.
What win Susie Wakefield DO now
that she has only s25 a week to live
on?" That is the question that In go
ing the rounds of the town.
Mrs. Wakefield answers It herself.
Says she:
81 shall get along. Women. tens Of
thousands Of them, considered in
good circumstances, live upon far
less. There's a lesson in such q case
that should help other women.
IF you've got a husband who isn't
interested in business, who 10 . gen.
tleman of leisure then q woman
should make 1t her business to be in
formed how the money 10 made or
where It comes from, and what the
financial arrangements surrounding
the family fortune are. It's a splen-
did thing that 30 many girls do havS
grounding in the rudiments OF buBi-
ness before they marry. They are
fitted to look into what their huS-
bands will some time neglect"

Tho baby food and nipples we're under

He has decreed that there shall be
no crowding in the street cars, and
that everyone who pays a fare must

man at the front Of the car. Cars
must stop at every corner and at

They must run at low rate Of speed
in the city.
He has decreed that automobiles
must not exceed a speed limit OF
about seven miles an hour on some
streets and five miles on others. And
the police see that these regulations
are complied with.

kept scrupulousiy clean and that no

He has decreed that all policemen
on duty at night shall carry Win
chester repeating rifles, but 1t has
been carefully explained that this is
not because there is any fear OF 70
cal uprising or Of rebels coming into
the city. The policemen carry Ian
terms at night now and are armed with
six shooters and clubs so that ne
addition of rifles to their armament
might seem unnecessary, but doubt
less DR.. Urrutla has good reasons for
the new rule.

No Flour Nor Water When
Luck Finally Came.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 2o.-Fam-
ished coyotes circled his little camp
throughout the night. seeking to steal
the tritie of bacon that was his sole

and he was compelled to beat them off
time and again.
No money. no friends to grubstake
him, he was about to give up the
struggle. Finally, at dawn. when the
Ragebrush denizens had deserted him
before the coming Of the sun, he pack

MUNICIPAL RAILWAY
LINE PAYS DIVIDEND

CALGARY. ALBERTA. Sept. 20
The high water, mark Of S75.S5L60
was struck by the gross earnings of
the Calgary Municipal Railway for
the month of July of this year
The net profits Of the system for
the month totaled $l4410S4. in spite
of the fact that expense of operation
has increased on account of the con-
struction of many outlying lines and
a generous increase in the wages of
employees, which was given this
spring.
The revenue Of the system per car
mile Cor the month of July was 1851
cents, while the operating expenses
per car mile were 1881 cents This
shows good margin of profit.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 2o.-Mexico's
Minister of Gobernacion, title that
covered as many Jobs as Pooh Bah's
Lord High Everything Else, Is now
without official position. DR.. Azure =
liano Urrutia has rendered his req
lgnation to President Huerta when
1t seemed entirely likely that he WIS
to be impeached for srresting Sena-
tor Calero, whose office Of Senator
gives him immunity from ,--rest. Now
General Huerta is looking for some-
one who can in any way come close
to filing the shoes Of the retiring
Minister.
Since DR.. Aureliano Urrutia was
made Minister of Gobernacion by
President Huerta a couple Of months
ago his new laws and their enforce
ment have caused every inhabitant of
this city to sit up and take notice,
open their eyes in wonder and specu-
late continually on what to expect
next.
The Minister of Gebernacion in
President Huerta's Cabinet has du-
ties corresponding to those of the
Secretary of the Interior in the
United States, but DR.. Urrutia is
nothing II not progressive and ener-
getic and dictatorial, and he didn't
propose to be restricted by absurd
traditions concerning the scope Of his
official usefulness. He is the Theo-
dore Roosevelt of Mexico, the Pooh
Bah OF the Huerta administration.
Nominally he was merely the Minister
of Gobernacion. but in reality he is
the Whole Thing.
He takes an active interest in every
subject connected with the public
veal or the public woe. He was the
only member of the Cabinet who talk
ed for publication on politics, on the
revolution, on any matter Of national
Importance. He looked after the health
of the capital; he decided how the
pulque business should be run, he
regulated the speed limit OF automo-
biles and street cars; he kept an eye
on the beggars; he supervised social
evil reforms; he regulated the hours
for saloons and restaurants to do bust
ness; he was the foremost adviser of
the President; he decided what arti-
Giles drug stores may sell on Sundays;
he made rules and regulations for
the police; his word was law. and all
the new laws are 1.-The result of his
spoken or written words.

STATE FILES PROTEST
DIRECT ELECTIONS AMENDMENT
QUESTIONED BY GEORGIA.
soons See Error in Proposal for
Choice Of y. S. Senators--Jeal-
Gus Of States Rights.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Strongly as
unconstitutional. protest was filed
here Saturday by the legislature OF
Georgia against the course taken by
congress in proposing 10 the states
constitutional amendment providing
for the direct election OF United
States senators.
The Georgia claim brought confu'
sion on the constitutional lawyers In
congress. OF more importance is the
fact that the adoption OF a reform de-
manded BY the people will be further
delayed.
Artile 3 OF the Constitution pro
v.des that. the congress. whenever
two.thirds of both houses shall deem
1t necessary, shall propose amend
ments TO the Constitution"
There are % members OF the senate
and 49, members OF the house. The
senate adopted the proposed amend
mont By 81 yeas and - nays. and seven
not voting, one vacancy existing. The
house adopted the proposed amend
ment by a vote OF 23S yeas 10 50 nays,
five responding present when their
names were called. 10 not voting. and
FIVE vacancies existing. Thus the sen
ate gave the requisite two-thrds ma.
jority. Will, The house did no.; The
house declared the amendment adept
"a or the ground that two-thiTds Of
those present aud voting approved The
amendment.
A Joint committee OF the legislature
of Georgia in an exhaustive report de.
clared that the amendment did not
receive two-thirds OF each house, and
therefore. was not proposed 10 the
states in the manner pointed out BY
Che Constitution for its own amend
mcnt."
