REPORT SHOWS MANY
FIRES ON PRIVATE PREMISES

Topeka, June 5.-The total fire
loss in Kansas for the month of May
was $183,156 and the total number
of fires was 207. OF this number,
IS fires occurred in dwellings with
a loss of $61,95S and 93 fires oc-
Cured in barns with a loss of $751;
172, making 1913 fires with loss
of $8O,130 on private premises. This
is more than half the total number
of fires and nearly half the total
loss for the month. 1t would be an
almost endless task for inspectors
from the state fire marshal depart
ment or from local fire departments
to point out fire hazards on private
premises. The work Of inspectors
is confined almost exclusively to
stores, factories and public buildings
of all kinds This makes it more
necessary that individuals in towns
and in rural communities exercise
the greatest care in preventing fires
on their own premises.

and members of the National Asso-
citation of Master Plumbers, and Of
ficials of state organizations in
Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Min
nesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa

straint of trade in violation of the

lation of law ever since it's organiza-
ton In 1884, and that it has con-
conspired to interfere with
the business of plumbers and plumb
ing houses.

Washington, June S.-Greece and
Turkey are in the market for war
ships in a manner highly signifi-

has Just learned that Greece has
bought the 26O0-ton cruiser which
the New York Shipbuilding company
built for the Chinese government.
There is a measure now pending
in congress to authorize the presi-
dent to sell to Greece the American
battleships Idaho and Mississippi,
vessels of an old type and just
about ready to be relegated to the
second line, but for which Greece
agrees to pay what the vessels cost

MINUTE DECISION FOR HODGES
Jury Makes Quick Work of West
Damage Suit

Topeka, June S.-The jury of
eleven Republicans and one Demo
crat, in the suit for $2310 for al
legged personal injuries, brought by
Mrs. Luella West of Wichita against
George H. Hodges, Democratic gov
ernor of Kansas, exonerated the
governor after one minute of DELHI
Grafton in the Shawnee county dis
trict court late Saturday.
Mrs. West claimed that the gov
ernor assaulted and beat her on
April 8, last, while she with Mrs.
Laura Buckwalter of Wichita were
in his private office in the state
house with regard to filing an ap-
plication for pardon for Frank Sui
livan who was convicted in the Sedg-
wick county district court of crime
upon young woman.
Judge A. w. Dana's instructions
to the Shawnee county jury were to
the effect that Governor Hodges
had a right to use necessary force
to retain copies of certain private
letters which had been given to the
women by S. T. Seaton, his private
secretary and pardon clerk, when
the women took the letters into the
governors private office.
There was no alternative left the
plaintiff. in view of the courts in
structions, but to retire from the
case without making argument to
the jury, although the court did
not instruct a verdict, technically,
for the defendant.

WAR AGAINST THE IsiS FLY
Dean Warns Eastern Kansas OF Hes
sian Pest Damage

Manhattan, June 5.-That the
Hessian fly is doing considerable
damage to the wheat crop in the
eastern half of the state is the re-
port made by experts sent out re-
Gently by the Kansas state agricui-
tural college. Generally speaking,
the western half OF the state has
not been infested by the pests.
Prof. George A. Dean, OF the en-
tomology department OF the college.
says that It is necessary that the
farmers Of the eastern half of the
state employ methods to fight the
fly, or the damage will be much
greater next season. He also calls
attention of the farms in the west
central part Of the state that they
had better put forth as great an
effort to combat the evil as posi-
BILE, in order to prevent 1t spreading
several counties further west next
spring.

Dictator Seeks Legallzation Of His
Official Acts
REALIZES HIS SLIM CHANCES
Constitutionalists Insist No Act Of

Vera Cruz, June 5.-The price de-
manded by Provisional President
Huerta for his retirement IL legal
ization OF his official acts as pro-
visional president. according to ad.
vices from the capital.
This is said to have been the pro-
posal General Huerta authorized his
delegates to offer at the mediation
conference at Niagara Falls.
General Huerta is said to realize
that he has only a slim chance of
winning but he is understood to be
determined not to abandon power
without adequate provision being
made for protection of his own fu-
ture and for that of the men sur
rounding him.
The constitutionalists have insist
ed that no act of General Huerta's
administration shall ever be regard
ed as legal, and in this case General
Huerta foresees enormous financial
losses for those who Joined in the
flotation of his loans as well as per-
sonal risk for the members of his
cabinet, for the new congressman in
stalled in the place Of those whom
he imprisoned and for thousands of
minor officials and even private cit
liens who willingly or knowingly
aided his government.
Ell Paso, Tex, June 5.-General
Carranza announced through agents

A. B. C. mediators, nor issue his
proclamation dealing with the for

Jake Weisemcn Held on Charge OF
Attempt TO Murder
DAWSON TAKES UP THE FIGHT
Shooting Of Former Warden Spurs
Attorney General Into Saying
He'll Finish the Joints at
Leavenworth

Leayenworth, June 4.-Jak'
Weiseman was arraigned in the cit!
court charged with an attempt u
murder J. X. Codding, assistant at
torney general, here, when he sho'
Codding after a quantity OF liquor
had been found on his premises
weiseman pleaded not guilty and
his bond was fixed at $4,000. Hi
preliminary hearing was set Tor
June 16. Attorney General John
Dawson swore out the complaint.
Dawson came to Leavenworth with
his fighting clothes on as a result
of the shooting of J. X. Codding'
and announced that he was going
to drive every jointkeeper out OF
the county.
There are probably 100 places
where liquor can be obtained In
Leavenworth, according to estimates
of residents, and Dawson says he
will close every one Of them and
keep them closed.
Mr.. Dawson went at once to the
bedside of Mr.. Codding. Mr.. Cod
ding was reported progressing salts
factorily at the hospital here.
When asked If he would partici-
pate in the formal filing Of charges
against Weiseman, Mr.. Dawson said
he didn't know Just what he would
do about that matter. The local
county attorney, James Kelsey, is
defendant in a divorce suit filed last
week and 1t is said the county at
torney is not in very good standing
with either Mr.. Codding or the at
torney general.
Mr.. Kelsey, however, has signified
his intention to charge Weiseman
with assault with intent to kill.
There are indications that 1t is the
of Mr.. Dawson to take
personal charge Of the prosecution
Of Weiseman.
Sentiment in the city is very
strong against Weiseman and there
we're rumors of lynching which caus-
I'd the sheriff to make preparations
Tor a hurried trip to the state pri-
ION with the prisoner.
Physicians said Mr.. Codding's
strong constitution made his recov-
Try probable.
II don't remember a thing about
he shooting" was Weiseman's re-
'ly to ell questions.

self protection in possible box car
shortage when the big wheat crop
begins to move, the Union Pacific
railroad has issued orders to agents

goods consigned to points on other
lines than its own. The same order
sends all bad order cars to the
shops at once for immediate repair
and orders the cars back to the
wheat belt without delay. All Union
Pacific box cars are being held on
the sidings, and there are about 800
good order cars in the Salina yards
and from 20 to so cars on the sid
ings at every station between Salina

Official Warrington Is Relieved By
Dictator's Act
N MAY AVERT A NEW CRISIS
Blockade May BE Suspended Only
COnditionally-Uncertainty As
20 Landing Arms from
AntiIla

Washington, June 9.-Genera
Huerta's order suspending the order
TO blockade Tampico against the
delivery OF ammunition by the
steamer Antllla to the constitution
alists, served to dispel apprehension
over O new crisis between the Unit
ed States and the Huerta govern
? ment, which had threatened media
ton OF Mexican affairs.
Though Washington officials ex-
pressed satisfaction over Huerta's
Sction. It was persistently suggested
outside of official circles, that the
blockade had been suspended only
Conditionally as result Of confer
ences between the South American
mediators and the Mexican and
American delegates at Niagara Falls
and that the Antilla's cargo OF arms
might not be delivered at Tampico
at this time. 1t was said the An
tilla might be diverted in her course
through an agreement with officials
OF the Ward line, her owners, an
American corporation.
President Wilson, Secretary Bry-
an and Secretary Daniels gave evil
dence of great relief over the late
developments. From no official
source here could confirmation be
procured of the reports that Huerta
had an understanding with the med
iators or the United States, which
would assure that the Antilla's car
20 would not be delivered. Repre-
sentatives OF the constitutionalists
in Washington were inclined to the
belief that the ammunition would
be landed at Tampico, but they d.
vulged no direct information upon
which to base such an opinion.
nothing has been heard
from the AntiIla, which is on the
high seas, due to arrive off Tampico
on Wednesday morning.

Enter Catholic Churches and At
tempt Speeches
ooNGREGRATIoN PUT THEM OUT
Worship Was Disturbed In Two Lon
don Churches Where Wild
Women Reach the
Pulpits

London, June S.-Suffragettes
for the first time. invaded Catholic
churches and attempted to harangut
the congregations. Worship was dis
turbed in both Westminster Cathe'
dral and the Church of the 0ratory
Brompton.
Father Bernard Vaughan had Just
taken his place in the pulpit in
Westminster cathedral during the
evening service when a woman rush
ed up the steps into another pulpit
and waving her hands toward the
altar shrieked:
I'm the presence Of the blessed
sacrament l protest against the for
chile feeding of women"
She was dressed stylishly and APP
parently was a woman of refine
ment. The congregation, shocked by
the woman's action, rose from their
seats. Murmurs of protests at the
sacrilege ran through the edifice.
The suffragette remained there wav-
ing her arms and yelling incoher-
emily until the Vergers forcibly pull
ed her down the steps and led her
to the doors of the cathedral. There
she was turned over to the police.
She declined to give her name.
A band of militant suffragettes
interrupted the midday mass in the
Church of the Oratory by chanting:
God save Emmeline Pankhurst
and all our noble prisoners; open
the eyes of this church and of the
priests to put an end to the torture;
in the name of the blessed Joan Of
Arc, hear them in their hour of
need"
Struggling fiercely and shouting
loudly the suffragettes we're forced
by ushers down the aisle and into
the street. Many of the members
Of the congregation followed the
evicted suffragettes to the sidewalk
where a woman hit militant sister
In the face. The crowd cheered the
who struck the blow. Only
two of the suffragettes who caused
The disorder were arrested. They
also refused to give their names.
