NO CHANCE FOR BUCK
Governor Stubbs Won't Interfere in
Kiowa Poison Case.

Governor w. r. Stubs today re-
fused to grant a parole to DR. G. H.
Buck of Kiowa county, recently con-
Victed of wife murder and sentenced
to life Imprisonment in the state peni-
tertiary. Arguments both for and
against executive clemency for the
Greensburg physician were heard by
the governor.
DR.. Buck was charged with the muir
der of his wife. Evidence introduced
in the trial of the case showed that
the woman had been poisoned and cir
cumstances pointed to the guilt of the
husband. A verdict of guilty of first
degree murder was returned by the
jury which heard the evidence and
Dr. Buck was sentenced to life inn
prisonment in the state penitentiary.
In the hearing today Doctors Bowen
and McClintock of Topeka declared
they had made post norton eX-
animation of the woman's stomach
and from their findings were sure
there had a miscarriage of justice in
the conviction of Dr. Buck A big
delegation of citizens from Green's
burg, DR.. Bucks home, appeared be-
fore the governor to protest against
the issuance of a parole. In view of
the fact that jury which heard the
evidence had returned a verdict of
guilty, Governor Stubs declared that
he did not feel warranted in reopen
ing the case at this time

Washington, Jan. 10.-Social Wash
ington has found three new topics in
which to interest itself-the corset
less girl, the heelless slipper and the
introduction squad
The corsetless girl has been heard
of around Washington for perhaps a
year, but not until the recent ball
given by Mrs. William H. Draper,
bassador to Italy, for her daughter,

ducts of the corsetiere were negligi-
BILE Miss Draper herself leading
heiress and beauty of the capital is
in favor of doing away with the cor
set, and the younger set is with her.
The prevailing style of frock, with its
high wasted effect and it's female air
of languishment, makes this newest
'-dress reform possible.
Not to be outdone by their younger
rivals, the smart matronS have
adopted a few new sartorial tricks
themselves. The heelless slipper is
one of them and to pretty Mrs.
Huntington Wilson, wife of the as
sistant secretary of state, goes the
credit for its introduction. Mrs. Will
son is just coming into second mourn
ing, so her heelless slippers are white
or black to match the white or black
gowns which follow the lines of her
supple figure. Unlined, the frocks are
generally weighted by falls of crystal
fringes or jet embroideries, and they
suit their dark eyed, clear complex
toned wearer, who, to keep up the en-

The SPEAKERSHIP
That Fight Occupies Attention
of Democrats.
Brown and Orr and MulrOy
Are Confident.
1T LOOKS TO BE CLOSE
"Billy" Pepperill Expects a
Federal Place.
Henderson Martin Is Back

Thirty-eight of the ~ Democratic
members of the house are in Topeka

and w. L. Uronjaw) Brown of King
man. Both candidates claim clear
majority in the Democratic speaker
ship caucus next Monday afternoon.
Orr has been on the job for more
than two days. He is making a stub
born, aggressive fight and is not with
out some mighty Staunch followers.
Long into the night Orr and his
friends worked with the Dem Ocratic
members of the house. This morning
they went on the job early. They
never left the Throop hotel where
Orr has maintained headquarters. Up
in Orr's room a score of conferences
were held today and at noon the Atch-
ison lawyer confidently declared he
would win.
Il don't care to make any further
statement at this time" said Orr.
further than to re-affirn my former
declaration that l will win
Brown was in a score of5places. The
Kingman warrior VOWS he has de-
cided majority of the Democratic
members and will easily be nomi-
mated.
But among the wise and more con-
sentative politicians, there is a serious
question as to whether either Orr or
Brown can win in the first lap. Pos
sibly Miles Mulroy can control enough
votes on the first ballot to decide the
contest. If so, he can dictate many
of the terms in the organization of
the new house and will land in an
important place should he ultimately
release his support to either of the
dominant candidates. Then there are
Lyon and Shuey-men whose strength
is an unknown quality-hut in event
there is a deadlock in the caucus,

lowing.

HOUSEWIVES LEAGUE.
Meeting in Kansas City to Organize a
Branch.

Kansas City, Jan. 10.-To form a
branch of the National Housewives
league to combat the present high
cost of living in Kansas City which, it
is charged, is due to the eXorbitant
profits of retail dealers, or middlemen,
the housewives of the city will meet
this afternoon.
Two general methods of organiza-
ton will be discussed. One is indirect
and can be applied to every housewife.
1t is to order at such times and in
such quantities as not to reduce the
dealers cost of delivering goods. The
other method is to eliminate the midi
dleman by the use of the parcel post
as a means of sending produce direct
from producer TO consumer and by
the operation of cooperative stores.
