Panama Waterway.

This Sum Is Needed to Complete the
Panama Waterway.
According to advices from Washing
ton, James G. Courts. clerk of the
house appropriations committee, after
consultation with Colonel George w.
Goethals, has reached the conclusion
that the completion of the Panama ca
nal will require an additional appro-
priation of $36,394.O 200. This amount
will be expended largely on the canal
terminals. Concreted coal pockets for
storing bituminous coal, machine shops
and a drydock are to be constructed
on the Pacific end of the canal.
While the committee is In Panama
it will hold hearings on the estimates
submitted for completion-the odds
and ends of a project which has cost
approximately 1899, 600, 1000 to date.

Women Fighting on Both Sides

AID ARMIES As FORAGERS.
Wife of Federal officer Leads Rebels
Into Ambush and Then Escapes In
Rain OF Bullets-Wealthy Young Wo-
man Takes Her Dead Brothers Place
In Constitutionalist Ranks.

Women of Mexico are playing a
prominent part in the warfare of the
southern republic as ~''soldaderas,'' for
aging successfully for their men folk
in the armies and occasionally being
actual fighters, according to CORE
spondence from Del Rio. Tex.
This is true probably because the
present revolution has touched individ-
uals and homes more intimately than
any other conflict of recent times in
Mexico. Many women have left their
homes rather than remain alone, and
a few of them have gone under fire to
get revenge.

Girl Replaces Brother.

In the siege of the large city of
Monterey a valued member of Gen
eral Pablo Gonzales Constitutionalist
command was Senorita Maria Sanchez,
said to be a wealthy Castilian, whose
brother was shot by federal irregu-
lars. She gave up the comforts of a
luxurious home and begged permission
to replace her brothes.
Recently at Monclova a son of Seno-
ra Pimental of that city had been
sentenced to be shot. The mother, it
is said, entered the federal Jail by
stealth and, stabbing two guards, re-
leased her boy, and both escaped to
the CONSTITUTIONAL headquarters at
Hermanos.
In the federal ranks there is told the
story of the wife of an officer who
led the Constitutionalists into an am
buscade at Puerta Carmen and,
though fred upon by the angered reb-
els, galloped through the lines to her
husbands side.
When less than a month ago the fed
eral army of General Mas occupied
the Constitutionalists provisional cap
ital at Piedras Negras "soldaderas"
played an important part in the blood
less capture.
Women Guard Wagon Train.
A small group of them pitched their
texts on 1.-the overlooking hills two days
before the soldiers arrived. When the
army came fully 800 of these soldier
women accompanied the troops, most
of them guarding the wagon train
which their skill as foragers had sup
piled. After the city was occupied the
women spread food for the entire army
in the plaza. These "soldaderas' are
expert with both knife and rifle.
One of the famous fighters is
Mrs. Alonzo Alanis, who recently sur
rendered to the Huerta garrison in
Juarez and was pardoned. She is the
wife of a former Maderist commander
and became a leader during the revolt
against Madero.
One night at the head of a picked
band she rode into Juarez, held up the
police station, took all available arms
and escaped to the hills. She remain
ed at the head of her troop several
months.

CHILDREN ARE IMMORAL
Eugenia ST. John Says 80 Per Cent of
Them Are Bad.

Denver, Col, Feb. 4-"Eighty per cent
of the school children in the larger
cities of the United States are i'm
moral" was one of the declarations
made before a meeting of women by
Mrs. Eugenia ST. John, an ordained
minister and evangelist and a leader in
the work of the National Anti-White
Slavery association.
Mrs. St. John declared that one out of
every IL girls who go wrong is a high
school girl and said that high school
principals and teachers, being power
less to deal with the conditions, con-
cealed them from the public.
She asserted that high school girls
daily make appointments to meet men
over the school telephone and that
girls are called from their class rooms
by men who wish to make the en-
gagements. She advocated the teach
ing of sex hygiene in the schools.

father, DIR. Crane, was of the same
temperament and disposition. and do
mated land and mony to every differ
ent enterprise which would help to
build up the city When the question
of bringing the Santa Fe shops came
up, it was Dr. Crane who donated five
acres of ground which are now occu-.
pied by the freight house, yards, and a
part of the shops. DR.. Crane owned
the district bounded by Sixth avenue,
Monroe street, First street and Klein
street, and since DR.. Cranes death,
George W. Crane has given hundreds
of warranty deeds to poor people who
could not finish paying for their lots.
In June, 1870, Mr.. Crane was mar
ried to Ella Rain, who was the only
daughter of SilaS and Minerva Rain.
Mrs. Crane died in April. 1851, sur
vived by two children. Frank s, who
is treasurer ofsCrane & Company, and
Edna, who was married to Charles l..
Michel, and died at Morenci. Ariz.,
August rs, 1894. In 1882 Mr.. Crane
was married at Elkhart, Ind, to Fan
ME Kiblinger, a cousin of his first
wife.
Politically, Mr.. Crane always took
lively interest in city and state affairs,
voting constantly with the Republican
party, but never consented to hold Of
flee. In 1893 he was nominated by his
party in the legislature for the office
of state printer, one for which he was
eminently qualified, and he lacked
only one vote of election, receiving
many more votes than his party con-
trolled.
For a year Mr.. Cranes health had
been failing. In October, 1912, he
went to the hospital for an operation,
which was successful. and for time
it was hoped that he would recover.
He declined again, and died at home
on the 30th of January, 1913,-died as
he had lived, cheerful, comforting,
consoling those about him, instead of
grieving Or complaining. Death had
no terrors for him.

FARMERS ORGANIZE.
Take First Step in Forming New Tele-
phone Company.

Fifty Shawnee county farmers took
the initial steps towards the forma-
ton of an independent or mutual tele-
phone company in this county to COM
pete with the Bell company at a meet
ing held in the rooms of the CONNER
cial club late Monday. w. s. Robin
son, of Indianola, was chosen to head
the new organization and o. e Whit
ney. of Shorey, was made secretary.
Those in attendance a the meeting
stated that the service they have been
receiving recently justifies the forma-
ton of company to compete with the
Bell concern. The proposed system, if
it materiaIizes. will not include the city
of Topeka, but will cover practically
all of the rural districts.
A special committee of representa-
tives of various Shawnee county dis

INCREASE STOCK
OF REALTY COMPANY
Holding Company of Smith Estate
Files Papers Showing Increase of
Capital to $375,000

The J. r. Smith Realty company
which was organized May for the pur-
pose of handling property in Birming-
ham known as the Smith estate, has
filed papers with the probate Judge
stating the capital stock of the con-
cern, originally $4,000, has been in
creased to $375,000.
According to a statement made yes
terday morning by e. J. Smyer, who is
president of the company, the corpora
uon was organized only to handle the
immense Smith estate which is on
Greymont Heights. Some time ago a
division was made among the eight
heirs and the company had been formed
to keep the estate intact.
Shares of only five of the heirs, how
ever, are contributed to make up the
capital stock, the shares OF Mrs r. p.
McDavid and Mrs E. r. McDavid being
handled by their husbands, and the
share of Mrs. Mary Louise Brown is
being held by the Birmingham Trust

ANOTHER CHARITY
FOR OIL INSPECTOR
Understood Holy Innocents Hospital
Will Ask for Division of Pro-
ceeds From the Office

The Anti-Tuberculosis hospital may
have a rival in its candidacy for the posi-
ton of oil inspector. 1t WAS reported
last night that the Holy Innocents' hos
pital would ask the Board of Revenue
to appoint one of its members inspector,
or rather joint inspector with John c.
Henley president of the Anti-Tuberculoss
association.
1t is understood that the hospital is
in need of funds, as Is the antf-tubercu-
loss camp. and that inasmuch as it has
been represented that the job, in return
for little toll. pays handsomely. there
is money enough for both institutions.
1t is probable that the election of an
oil inspector will not occur before this
afternoon. and the appointment might
not be made before tomorrow. Today
at noon lawyers will speak before the
Mr.. Henley, and 1t is considered prob
able that the hospital exponents will
also be on hand. The lawyers will at
tempt to prove to the board that the
appointment of Mr.. Henley with the un-
derstanding that the funds will go to
the anti-tuberculosis cause, will not be
in violation of the statute providing that
no office shall be bartered or its author
fty deputized.
1t Is currently reported that other than
giving the office to the charitable insti-
tutions the board is not seriously con-
sidering the applications of more than
two men.
