HER LOT IS HARD.
Mrs. StuItz Lives i'm Tent With Three
Children.

Mrs Cora Stultz. 1414 North Harrison
street, regards her offspring as her
jewels-Pearl, Ruby and Opal, aged re-
spectively thirteen, ten and half-past
six. Mrs. Stultz lives in an abandoned
tuberculosis tent, and is struggling to
support the three youngsters whom her
drunken husband recently deserted.
The children lived this summer on
bread and beans-with potatoes as an
occasional entree. William Bateman,
Mrs. Stultzs son, sent money to trans
port the four to his home in Anaconda,
Mont. If Topekans will contribute the
clothes, the small family can start
next week.
When Dr. Eva Harding, who has in
terested herself in the case, discovered
the tent this morning. she found Mrs
Stultz washing blankets in a sunny
back yard. Opal, the baby with
crown of fiaxen braids, was sturdily
manipula ting the wringer. Ruby. but
toned up in a brown-checked apron,
watched proceedings with big blue eyes.
Mrs. Stultz pulled her scant skirt well
down over two mismated shoes.
The family live in what was once the
dining tent of the North Topeka tuber-
cular camp. 1t was flinigated and do
mated by the Provident association.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Brown gave Mrs.
Stultz the use of the back yard. The
tent was hot in summer and cold on
frosty nights-but it had a roof and
floor.

HAS A HOODOO NUMBER
NJ. w. CardweII VIII Change That
2313 on His Auto.

The combination of twenty-three.
the ''skiddoo number and thirteen,
the unlucky number, is proving too
much for NJ. w. Cardwell, a grain
broker. His automobile number is
2S13 and he is going to get a new
number just as soon as he gets his
automobile back home, and inciden-
tally he may have plenty of time in
which to do so.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cardwell started on a
touring trip some time ago. In Mis-
souri, they encountered bad weather
and muddy roads. They abandoned
their car and returned to Topeka by
train. Since then they have made
four trips to Missouri after that car
and each time have had to give up
and return by train. The last relay
brought the car to Lawrence, Kan,
But there it had to be abandoned
again and Mr.. and Mrs. Cardwell re-
turned to Topeka Saturday night.
At one place a farmer charged
them IS for leaving their car in his
barn two nights.

this afternoon when the court of high
Impeachment, which began last week

Presiding Judge Cullen at 2 o'clock.
Attorney Louis J. Marshall continued
the argument which was in progress
when court adjourned Friday and in
which he maintained that the COVER
nor was unconstitutionally impeached.
With all solemnity." he said, I'VE
express confidence that this tribunal
will not be Swayed from a proper and
due regard for the mandate of the
constitution. by the unworthy sugges-
ton that to do so is to permit a tech
nicality to triumph. To dismiss the
articles of Impeachment for lack of
jurisdiction would not be a triumph
of technicality. 1t would be a victory
of the constitution and the Law. It
would be a Vindication of that sacred
instrument to which we all owe
fcalty.''
MIR. Marshall quoted precedent, i'll

Committee Named to Take
Subscriptions.

There will be concerted action in
the effort to supply the farmers of a
dozen counties in western Kansas with
seed wheat. Prominent men repre-
senting various interests met at the
Commercial club today and decided
to take Immediate steps towards rush
ing the required seed wheat to the
respective counties where it is de-

appointed by E. l.. Copeland, presi-
dent of the Commercial club, to re-
ceiVe subscriptions and to canvass the
situation thoroughly. There were
grain men, bankers, millers and other
business men present at the meeting.
The one object of all parties con-
cerned is to aid in putting the farm
ers in the counties in question on their
feet. 1t is not charity proposition
The banks have gone their limit in
extending credit and the idea now is
simply to loan the farmers wheat to
be paid for when crop is harvested.
They will pay eight per cent interest
in case they reap heavy crop next
year. The farmers would not be will
ing to accept donations.
The Kansas State Grain Dealers
association, through its secretary, E.
]. Smiley, already has machinery in
operation for furnishing seed wheat.
But what this association will be able
to procure from the farmers will not

The meeting today was called as a
result of a visit to Topeka of ]. w.
