Clara Francis, daughter of Congressman
William B. Francis of Ohio, and Mrs Fran
els, is one of the many attractive girls in the
Congressional set She is not going to make
a formal debut in Washington, because she
came out at her home, in Martins Ferry,
Ohio, this fall before she and her mother
came to Washington to join Mr.. Francis for
the winter at Congress Hail. their winter
quarters. Some time early next month there
is going to be large tea at the Congress
sional Club, when all the buds on Capitol
Hill will receive.
Yes, indeed, the ladies at Congress Hall
are doing things this year. guess there
are more Congressional hostesSes there than
at any other hotel in town. They had
meeting the other day and Mrs. Dorsey W.
Shackleford, of Missouri, who is the dean,
presided, and they are now sending out
cards for large tea on Monday, january
26. Instead of the at-homes of the previous
years, they are arranging for a large and
brilliant tea from until 6 o'clock
On the same date expect to attend an
other one of Jessie Herriott's Studio even

enjoyable, and, according to the program
being arranged for this one, it will be better.
Miss Herriott has just come back from visit
to New York and she has splendid lot of
new dances which she is teaching Just as
fast as she can. To be up-to-date in dancing,
one has to keep right at Miss Herriott's heels

this winter, and she decided to remain at
Warrenton, Va, and not open her home in

her son was home from college and had some
of his classmates with him. but right after
he returned to school she went back to War

Ruggles with her. They will be her guests
down there for some time, and then in the

of the girls of that young set.

WOMEN TRY AGAIN.
Sunragists Headed by Band Call on
President Wilson.

Washington, June 30.-The White
House was again today to be the
storm center of women suffragettes.
Headed by a brass band and CARRIED
in gowns of white and carrying their
yellow remnants bearing the legend,
Votes for Women" more than four
hundred club women from various
parts of the country planned to march
to the White House and urge Presi-
dent Wilson to favor suffrage legisla-
ton at this session Of congress. They
also were to read to the president the
resolution endorsing woman suffrage
which was adopted at Chicago re-
Gently by the Federation Of Women's
Clubs.
Twice before President Wilson .-e-
ceived suffragists at the White House.
On both occasions he told them that
whatever might be his personal views
on woman suffrage or any other sub
ject. he had made it a rule not to
urge legislation upon congress that
had not been the subject Of "organic
consideration" by the Democratic
party, of which he considered himself
the spokesman. But despite the stand
the president then took the women
were hopeful that their plea today
would not be in vain.
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, wife Of the
former government pure food cham
pion, was to be the spokesman Of the
suffragettes.

Detention Hospital for County
on Salary Economy.
More Than $1,000 q Year for
Maintenance Charges.
SHAWNEE IN NEED Of HOME
One Years Saving Could Be Di-
verted, Is Belief.
Cost to Operate Juvenile Court
in 1914 Was $685..

If a detention home were estab-
lished today in Shawnee county. the
economy effected by the change in
the fee system in the juvenile court
alone would contribute at least a
thousand dollars a year toward its
maintenance. This is the belief Of
Hugh Mcfarland, probate judge, who
has made an examination of the re-
corded costs of maintenance for The
year which closed today and COM
pared it with the statement of a year
ago. Judge Mcfarland has been pro-
noting the detention home idea at ev-
cry opportunity. The need Of a place
for the care of dependent children,
helpless aged and county sick has
been impressed upon him in his two
years as Judge Of the probate and juv-
emile court.
Since July l.. 1913, all fees in the
juvenile court have been paid to the
county instead Of being a part Of the
perquisites Of the probate judge, who
has been placed on a salary by the
new state law.
Cost Is Lower.
The forthcoming annual report of
the juvenile court will show that it
has been conducted at an expense of
less than $1,000, the first eleven
months having shown a total cost to
the county of $895.82. For the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1913, the juve-
nile court costs amounted to $2,O81.83
It is the judges contention that this
thousand dollars saved on juvenile
court fees should be devoted to the
maintenance of a detention home, for
which. he believes, it would be nearly
sufficient

Harvest Hands Needed With PrOmis<
for Two Months Activity,

E. E. Brookens of Topeka returned
home today after q trip throughout
western Kansas and he brings with
him a tale of a harvest hand drouth
in Sheridan county. He says that hum
dreds of able bodied men could be
used in that district Immediately and
that work would be furnished har-
vesters for the next two months.

were a disappointed lot. Scores of
wheat raisers have a big crop on their
hands and not a single man to help
them cut it. Thousands Of acres of
wheat are ripening in that blow land
where crops never grew before and
the yield will be % bushels to the acre.
The farmers are promising SO day
and steady employment for at least six
or eight weeks.
Several farmers told me that with
the help they had in sight it would

not see a field that would average less
than ~ bushels to the acre and many
of them will go as high as 80 bushels.

Woman Answered, Then Called
for the Sheriff.
SHE HELD HIM A PRISONER
How the Spider Attracted the
Fly Into Her ParlOr.

Responding to call by telephone
at o'clock last night Unded Sheriff
Hugh Lari;ner arrived at the nome OF
Mrs. Eta P. Thompson at 1901 String
ham avenue, west of College Hill, to
find a wilted young man named Frank
Carry seated in a rocking chair and
gazing discOnsolately into the business
end Of shotgun that rested upon Mrs.
Thompson's knee. 1t was Mrs Thomp-
son who had sent for the sheriff. Her
grievance was that Carry had pre-
sumed to whistle to her across the
fence.
Mrs. Thompson, who figured in a
divorce case bitterly fought in the dis
trict court some months ago when the
court finally divorced her but took the
children of the family entirely out OF
the CUSTODY of mother and father, had
complained to the sheriff that a man
had occasioned her some annoyance
from time to time by whistling to her
as he passed the house. Under Sheriff
Larimer had counseled her to catch
the man and send for him. Last night
she did.
Brought Out by Coaxing.
"It required considerable coaxing, ="

me to walk down the road after 1 had
answered his whistle. Finally 1 per-
suaded him to come around to side

was reaching the gate 1 reached the

Under Its persuasion he entered the
house and listened while someone call
ed the sheriff's office and sent for the
neighbors. One of these responded,
armed with a sizeable hammer and
helped keep vigil over the prisoner.
After an interview with Sheriff l..
l.. kiene, Carry was allowed to go
home for the night. But this morn
ing he failed to report either to the
sheriff or ut the ice cream factory for
