Gated the address of Mrs. Houser in

Wichita police. The Wichita officials,
evidently thinking the idea worth try

was found that the wife would help in
his capture. A fake telegram was

VETERAN HAS RETIRED.
Q. p. Train Dispatcher Was in Service
A Years.

After forty-four years of con-
tinuous service with the Union Pacific
railway, H. L. Brownson. chief dis
patcher of the Kansas division, has
retired. He began his railroad ca
reer as train dispatcher at Ellis, Kan,
ton of the lands in the western part
of the state were taken up by home
steaders. He was in Ellis eight years
when he was transferred to Kansas
City and made chief dispatcher. He
has held this position for SO years
and is one of the oldest train dis
patchers in America.
It is interesting to note that an
other veteran, also from Ellis, Kan,
will succeed Brownson. J. L. Chand-
ley, dispatcher, has been with the
Union Pacific in the train dispatching
service 25 years and is now in Kansas
City filling his duties as chief dis
hatcher

wAGGENER KILLS RUMOR.
Missouri Pacific Will Open No Office

The report that the Missouri Pacific
will open a law office in Topeka with

was denied over the long distance tel
ephone today by w. P. Waggener, gen.

There is absolutely no foundation
to this report" Mr.. Waggener said.
Mr.. w. A. S. Bird of Topeka is now,
and has been for many years, assist
ant attorney of this company in To-
peka and the company has no inten-
ton of maintaining an office at To-
peka so far as the legal department is
concerned. The question has never
been considered by the law depart
ment of the Missouri Pacific at any
time. The company's business in the
future will be looked after as in the

In her dingy dressing room at the
Grand theater-dressing rooms at the
Grand are almost the worst in the
world-Miss McGrane is just as
of ''IriXie" in MY Wife," this week S
bill She isn't Ioquacfous and that is
an asset that is of greater signifi-
canoe than it sounds especially when
one is seeking an interview. Stock
actresses usually talk a good deal and
say little, but Miss McGrane did not
make any such impression. She is
deeply interested in her work and
naturally that was the first thing she
talked about.
81 just sort of drifted into the the
atrical business she explained. Il
never had any dreams of being a
great actress when I was a child.
just got into the business, became in
terested, and stayed. 1t is five years
now since my first part. 1 was a very
great friend of Blanch Bates and
when she just had to have someone
play the part of the American girl in
her Madame Butterfly sketch I took
the part. 1 have been with Mr..
Lynch and his company since last
June"
Miss McGrane wants to go back to
New York but as she says, 1T is a
heart breaking game and the girl
who plays it stands one hundred
chances to lose and one to win.
I've gone as far as I can go in
stock so l must be looking for some
thing else she said, but sighed as
she thought of the hard scrap to get
into what actors call a production
a New York show.
81 don't like the movies and I feel
sure that they are at their zenith
right now. OF course there will al
ways be some five cent houses and
perhaps some great films but those in
between will lose their attractiveness.
A girl expressed a thought to me the
other day that illustrates my point ad-
mirably. She said: I have been
watching that man (mentioning the
name of a well known starr make love
to girls in pictures for over a year,
and I wish to goodness he could say
it,
fI believe all the people will soon
begin to think that way and then the
speaking drama will come back to its
own with vengeance"
Next to her ideas on the movies,
Miss McGrane is most decided in her
viewpoint on clothes. She worries
more about her gowns than anything
else. Most women would if they had
five trunks full of dresses. That's how
many a stock actress has to have to
keep well dressed and not repeat
gowns often.
But the paramount feature of Miss
McGrane is that she is Irish. The only
trouble with this story is that it should
have been written on st. Patrick's day
and with green ink. E. w. w.
