Quarantine on VolIand Camp.

The city sanitary department was
notified this morning that the state
board of health has ordered a quar-
antine for the Rock Island camp at
Volland, Kan, where an epidemic of
smallpox is threatened, and will en-
force the quarantine with guards.
That will relieve the danger of infect
ed persons from the camp coming to
Topeka.
Two men who left Volland a few
days ago are being held at the city
detention hospital. Five more are at
large in Topeka, and the sanitary Of
flee is anxious to locate them. A gen.
eral warning against them has been
issued to the public, as we'll as to
contractors and large employers of
labor in Topeka.
No further trouble is expected,
however. since the states action in
ordering a quarantine. If the five
men who are believed to be in this
City do not break down with the dis
ease little difficulty is expected.

SULzER IGNORES 1T
Will Pay No Attention to Attorney
Generals Opinion.

Albany. Aug. 19.-That Governor
William Sulzer will decline to abide
by the opinion of Attorney General
Carmody declaring Lieutenant Cover
nor Martin H. Glynn to be the acting
governor of the state, but will seek a
court decision to test the legality of
his impeachment by the assembly, was
the general opinion expressed in off,
cial circles today. Both Mr.. Sulzer
and his counsel declined to discuss the
attorney generals findings.
Some of the state departments
which have been waVering as to
whether they should continue to
recognize Mr.. Sulzer as chief executive
are expected to follow the advice of
the attorney general and accept Mr.
GIynn as the acting head of the state
government
The legislature was scheduled to
meet today, when it was expected Act
i'm Governor Glynn would transmit a
message concerning financial matters,
the acceptance of which would amount
to formal recognition of his claims to
the governorship pending the inn
parchment proceedings against Mr..
Sulzer A meeting of the assem- bly,
board of managers which has the inn
parchment proceedings in charge was
arranged for today.

SMILEYS PLAN. THEY COT CAUGHT
Now Man in Case Will Be
Prosecuted Under Mann Act.
Woman Free, Hopes to Marry
Fiance Who Doesn't Know.

Because Vena Pollard, twenty-one
years old, pretty, well dressed, and
daughter of a wealthy farmer of Car
rolton, and fairly wise to the world,
and w. H. Mathewson, cook in
restaurant in Carrollton, and twenty
seven years old and unmarried, did
not remain in F-issouri while posing
as husband and wife, but instead,
went to lola, Kan, Mathewson faces
a federal charge under the Mann anti
white slavery law, while the partner
in his guilt, the woman in the case, is
the prosecuting witness and goes free.
Vena Pollard took a train from
Carrollton for Kansas City week
ago last Sunday. Mathewson was also
on the train. When Kansas City was
reached, he assisted her to carry her
baggage to the Blossom House. While
they were acquainted with each other
they had not left Carrollton planning
TO be together. She had some shop
ping to do ard the two were much
together. They decided to go to lola,
Kan, where Mathewson had some REL
atiVes. They went there and reg
istered in a hotel as W. H. Jones and
wife. All went very well until the two
went to visit Mathewsons relatives
where she was introduced as Mrs.
Mathewson and he as Mr.. Mathewson.
That the couple were going under the
name of MatheWson part of the time
and under the name of Jones while at
the hotel, was the cause of their being
caught up" The dual names were re-
ported to the police and the chief of
police of lola arrested them on the
suspicion that they were not married.
Both admitted the charge and they
were placed in the lola Jail. Mathew
son is still there. The woman accom-
panied by her father and the lola po-
lice chief came to Topeka today, where
the woman made a sworn statement
before United States District Attorney
Robertson.
Mathewson will probably be lodged
in Jail at Fort Scott to await trial after
being taken before the federal commits
sioner at lola.
The woman says she is engaged to
be married in a month to a man who
is now in Buffalo, N. Y.
He does not know anything about
this scrape," she said, land 1 hope he
does not find it out. But if he does
you bet l will do all I can to square
myself, for 1 do not want to lose him.

STABBED WITH SHEARS
Nixon Also Alleges Wife Struck Him
in Face With Flat Iron.

John w. Nixon, 62S Lime street, prays
the district court of Shawnee county
for his restoration of all the privi-
leges Of a single man." and as means
to this end he asks for divorce from
Lucille Nixon now living at 705 East
Sixth street, and as cause for the
granting of his request he alleges that
among other abuses of a verbal anG
offensive nature, he was also strucf
in the face with a fiat iron hurled by
his wife, and supposedly while thus out
in retreat he was followed up and stab
bed in the back with a pair of shears.
although it is not set forth in the com
plant that such is why the stabbing
was in the back. He also seeks the
custody of his 3-year-old son, who is
now living with his mother; and all
the personal property. He also charges
his wife with encouraging the company
of other men to a degree displeasing to
him.

WILMARTH'S REASONS
Fire Chief Tells Why Cannot Answer
Telephone.

Chief George o. Wilmarth of the
Topeka fire department is anxious that
Topekans realize the position in which
the department has been placed I'M
Willingly. and appreciate the utter
impossibility of the department an
swering calls from the public as to the
location of fires.
THE fire department is here to pro-
tect lives and property" the chief
said. I'VE don't do that if we have
to maintain an information bureau.
1t not only takes the attention of a
watchman but it takes our line. and
makes it impossible for us to use it
when we need it most-while a fire IS
burning"
The department cannot answer such
calls, the chief says, and cannot even
attempt to do so. He does not want
to stand in the light of Snubbing the
public, but he wants the public TO
see the situation as he sees it, and not
to secure information from
from the fire department that the
department cannot give without Grip
ping it's own efficiency.

CATHERINE OF RUSSIA,
''Semiramis of the North Held Her
Own Among Contemporaries.

Catherine II. the the ''Semiramis of
the North came to the throne ISL
years ago-JuIy 10, 1862.
Catherine, daughter of the Prince
of Anhat. was born at Stettin, in 1923.
She had hard time of it in her child
hood, her mother being as mean to
her as Frederick the Greats father
was to him. AT 16 she was married,
against her will. to Peter Duke of Hol-

She was well read in history, philoso-

But the magnificence of her court,

the fact that at heart she cared but
