spection Of each Of the twenty-five
state educational. charitable and penal
institutions. He is the first governor
In the history of the state to person
ally visit all Of the state institutions
during his term Of office.
Shortly after Governor Hodges took
his oath Of ofiice he stated that he
proposed to visit all Of the state insti-
tutions. Not only did he declare that
he intended to make trips to the vart-
ous state institutions, but that he pro-
posed to make q personal tour OF In
spection, and to familiarize himself
with the work in every department..
When the governor made q trip to the
Girls Industrial school at Beloit q
month ago, but one state institution

KING IS ON HAND
British Ruler Ready to Step
Into Home Rule Fight.
His Majesty Holding Out Hopes
for Peace Soon.

!, London, July 18.-King George. who
has been making great efforts to bring
about q settlement Of the Irish home
rule crisis, decided this morning to
postpone until later in the day his
proposed visit to the great British
fleet now lying at Spithead. He did
SO that he might be on hand in Lon-
don to receive early reports OF develop
nents in the conferences going on
among the various party leaders.
It is understood that when the op-
portune moment arrives his majesty
will throw his great influence toward
the side looking for an amicable set
tlement. The belief prevails that such
a settlement IS not far off.
The government is believed to have
offered the Unionists, in case they agree
to abandon their demand for "clean
cut exemption Oh the province OF
Ulster from tie operations Of the Irish
home rule bill, to arrange that the
whole of Ulster, with the exception Of
the county CT Tyrone which has great
Catholic majority, should vote as a
single entity on the question Of ex-
clusion from the home rule government.
Tie Union:sts demand that. Tyrone
shall be included in this arrangement
and this has been the cause Of the
deadlock.

which had been utilized as q refuge
by many Of the fugitives here.
Owing to their unsuccessful efforts to
charter the steamer City of Mexico for
the voyage TO Jamaica and to their un-
willingness to accept the Mexican gun
boat Bravo about 40 of the fugitives
mostly women. will proceed on the City
of Mexico as ordinary passengers to
Galveston by way OF verl Cruz. 1t is
thought probable that the gunboat
Bravo may eventually be used to carry
still others of the fugitives away from
Mexico. A message was sent late last
night to the new government, asking
for permission to use the gunboat and
an affirmative reply arrived this morn
ing.
General Huerta and Gen. Banquet

that work had kept them up till after
midnight. The former provisional presi-
dent had not left the railroad car since
his arrival here. During the latter part
OF the night Huerta suffered a slight
attack Of indigestion and those about
him this morning found him in an un-
amiable mood. The problem of pro-
viding food for the refugees was not
an easy one.
The stock Of food stuffs on board the
sleeping cars had become exhausted
and 1t was found necessary to bring
meats to the train from a restaurant In

ORGANIZE new CLUB At LAST
Mrs. DOster's Crowd Has Let
Down Membership Bars.
ssShawnee County Political Ser
vice Club" Is Name.

After weeks of factional strife ana
fights for supremacy. the Doster-Moh-
roe factions in the Good Government
club have come to the parting OF the
ways and each crowd will travel d
separate course in the future. me
formal split in the Good Government
club came Friday afternoon wnen the
Doster forces used the pulmotor on
the Shawnee Suffrage club ana re-
yiyed it to being as the Shawnee Coun-
ty Political Service club and an ao-
3unct to the Kansas Good Citizenship
league. The new organization wiA hve
true to it's teachings and has tnroWn
its doors open to the public.
1t was on the question OF admitting
all APPLICANTS of good moral character
as members of the organization that
the crowd led by Mrs Frank Doster
went to war with the friends OF mrs;
Lila Day Monroe. The Doster crowd
charged chat the Good Government
gradually committing suicide. that 1t
lived a life Of misrepresentation and
false hopes and preached gospel that
was not true to life. The Monroe
crowd had limited membership to the
Doster and her friends charged that
the advisory board was subservient to
the wishes of Mrs. Monroe and that
women who applied Tor membership
in the organization were rejected be-
cause they would not bow to the wish
es of Mrs. Monroe. 1t was this situa-
tion that precipitated fight in the
club that has resulted in the organiza-
ton of a new club which will fight for
supremacy over the Good Government
club.
DOster Club Was Beaten.
Recently when the issues before
the Good Government club were
fought out on the floor Of the club,
1t was freely charged that the Monroe
forces gaveout newspaper interviews
without the consent of the club MEM
bers that they made recommends
tions to the city commission. Without
q vote Of the membership and that
the ethics and rules of the organiza-
ton were forgotten and trampled un-
der foot. 1t was bitter fight for a
few months. Mrs. Doster and her
friends were loaded with argument.
But Mrs. Monroe and her following
had the votes. And the votes count
ed. The Doster crowd left the meet
ing badly beaten.
Then there was a lull in the affairs
of the Good Government club. Mrs
Monroe went abroad. She went to
