ENNIS ARRESTED
Ex-Justice Indiana Supreme
Court in Domestic Difficulty.
Was a Prominent Topeka At.
tOrney in the Pioneer Days.

New York, Dec. 1.-Ex-Supreme
Court Justice Alfred Ennis of Indiana,
one time counsel for the Pullman
company, passed last night in the
custody Of Deputy Sheriff Louis Zelt-
ner at a local hotel. Unless he files
a $1,000 bond with the sheriff he will
have to go to Ludlow street Jail.
Ennis. who is more than 20 years
old, and of distinguished appearance,
was arrested at the Hotel Marseille
upon his wife's application for a bond
to assure his presence in court when
her separation action is called for
trial.
Upon Ennis arrival at the sheriff 8
office he stated that Mrs. George H.
Lorimer of Philadelphia, wife of an
editor, was one of his daughters by a
former marriage. She was commune
Gated with and Immediately retained
lawyers to defend him. Upon her as
surance that a bond would be filed
today, the sheriff arranged for Ennis
to stay at a hotel in charge of Zelther
until morning.
Mrs. Norma Ennis, wife of the law
yer. is 10 years his junior. She as
serts in her complaint that she married
resented to her he was great cor
poration lawyer. a man of wealth and
a mine owner.
They lived for time at 500 River
side Drive and then it is alleged Ennis
obtained loan of $1,000 from his
wife's mother, Mrs Matilda Schiller.
He lived with his bride and her moth
err until last August and then said he
was going west. His wife says he went
to the Hotel Marseille and thereafter
failed to support her. She has a letter
from his brother, she says, in which the
brother advised Ennis to leave her.
II was attracted by his command
ing personality" his wife informed the
court, land by the noble character he
led me to believe he possessed. When
he learned did not possess wealth he
deserted me and left me and my wild
ment with long lease ahead of us
tradesmen."
Judge Ennis is former Topeka at
many of the pioneers of the city. He
came here shortly after the Civil war
and opened up a law office.
For many years, Ennis was prOmi-
nent at the bar and in politics. He
also began to acquire considerable
property and a large tract of land,
known as the Ennis tract. is now the
site of several mills on the north side
of the Kaw river.
In the early eighties Ennis left To-
peka and went to Indiana. He quick
ly rose in his profession there and
! served a term in the supreme court
of Indiana. He has retired from tn 2
active practice of law and has been
spending his time in New York City,
where his domestic troubles began.

Fraternal Insurance Societies
Need No Legislation.
Committee Members Satisfied
With Laws as They Stand.

Members of the legislative commit
tee of the Kansas fraternal insurance
congress are in session at the National
hotel this afternoon, discussing possible
Legislation at the hands Of the 1915 law
makers. 1t Is hardly probable that the
fraternal insurance companies will ask
for special legislation this winter. In
stead, they will content themselves
with such laws as are already on the
statute books and ask that they are not
made more drastic.
The meeting of the insurance legis-
lative committee today Is in advance
of the gathering of the members OF the
congress in Topeka January 5. 1t Is
probable that the January meeting Will
be largely attended by representative
of fraternal insurance ORGANIZATIONS
and that definite action concerning leg
islative matters will be taken then.
Today, though, the five members OF
the legislative committee are discussing
in the quiet of a hotel parlor the laws
now on the statute books and the man.

might affect their business interests
1T is hardly probable that the fra

SENT INDIANS TO JAIL
Judge Cotteral Furnishes -Four for
Carrying Whisky.

The fondness of Indians for liquor
was the cause of four receiving Jail
sentences in the federal court today.
Their offense was not that of selling
liquor, but of having 1t in their possess
sion while on an Indian reservation.
Joe williams, Hillary Goslin, and John
Cadue, wards of the government living
on the Kickapoo reservation in Brown
county, went to st. Joseph, Mo-. and
when they returned to their homes,
carried whisky with them some of
which they gave to their friends.
Fred Robertson. United States district
attorney, stated that all the men bore
good regulations, and Judge Cotteral,
after a careful questioning to make
certain that the Indians understood the
proceedings, sentenced each to spend
sixty days in Jail and to pay fines of
800. The Judge declined to assess the
costs of the case against the defend
ants, holding that fines make the pun
ishment severe enough.
Addison ShopYTuck. another Indian
from Mayetta, confessed to like Of
Tense and admitted it to be his second.
He was sentenced to four months in
Jail and fined 800.

MADE LAWYERS EXPLAIN
Judge Cotteral Is an Enemy to Need
less Delays of Law.

If all federal judges were like Judge
John H. Cotteral, Judge of the United
States district court for the western
division Of Oklahoma, who is sitting
for Judge John C. Pollock at the spe-
cial December session of the federal
court called today. there would be less
ground for complaint about the slow
ness Of judicial proceedings.
This is the first time Judge Cotteral
has held court in Topeka. Shortly after
the opening of the session there was a
general get busy attitude on the part
Of attorneys who had come into court
expecting to have their cases con-
tinued. for Judge Cotteral inquired very
carefully as to why continuances were
sought even when attorneys Of both
sides appeared willing to have their
cases carried over. Judge Cotteral an
nounced that he is here to assist Judge
Pollock in clearing up the federal
docket and that there is no use in car
rying on the docket cases which can
be disposed Of AS a consequence of
Judge Cotterars attitude several cases
will be disposed Of during the present
session which ordinarily would have
been carried over to another term.
Several settlements have been ex-
pedited.

The President Tells Gardner to Come

Washington, Dec. president
Wilson's letter to Representative
Gardner on the latter's resolution for
congressional investigation of the

president wrote:

FIRST HUMAN CASE;
Illinois Girl Reported Ill With Foot
and Mouth Disease.

Chicago, Dec, What is believed
to be the first human case Of foot and
mouth disease in the present epidemic
among cattle was reported today from
Joliet, Ill. The victim is Violet Max
well, five-year-old daughter of a po-
liceman. The child developed can
kers in the mouth last Friday.
The child's parents at first thought
she was suffering from a cold or a
disordered stomach. State Veterinar-
ian o. E. Dyson placed the Maxwell
home under quarantine. 1t is believed
the disease was transmitted to the
child through the milk supplied the
family by a Joliet dealer, who buys
from farmers in the vicinity. Govern
ment inspectors were set to work to
examine all stock of the farms of
dairymen in the immediate vicinity.

SUIT UNDER new Law
Mattress Factory Employee Asks
judgment in District Court.

A suit to obtain a ruling on the APP
plication of the Kansas workman's
compensation act was filed in the
Shawnee county district court this
morning by B. F. Messick, who on July
8 last, sustained serious injuries while
employed in the McEntire Brothers
mattress factory in this city. Messick
lost hand and part of a foot. The
workman's compensation law provides
a plan of settlement. where both en-
ployer and employee have agreed to
abide by it. In this instance the pro-
prietors of the mattress factory are
protected against damage judgments by
a policy in a liability insurance COM
pany, but the new law has been ac-
cepted for the factory.
Messick is suing for judgment for the
payment of damages at the rate of
$3.50 a week, half his former wages,
for period of eight years to come.
The courts decision will probably de-
termined whether the money is to be
paid in a lump sum or in weekly in
stallments, which is the matter of main
Importance to the plaintiff. The action
is of friendly nature.
