Reception Thi- Evening.
This evening an informal reception
will be held for the newly elected
state officials and the members of the
legislature. Virtually all of the Of
fees in the state house will be opened
to the public. The new governor will
be at the head of the receiving line
| with other state officials inaugurated
today and members of the state legis-
| lature will receive in heir respective
halls.
Because Of simplicity which sur
rounded the inaugural and the ad-
mission of visitors without cards, the
inauguration brought to the state
no e one of the largest crowds that
ever attended a similar event in Kan
SIS. Every seat in representative hall
| was taken an hour before the inau-
gural.
Both branches of the state legisla-
ture will convene at 10 o'clock Tues
| day morning. Members Of the house
will receive the oath of Office and for
NAL organization of both house and
senate will be perfected. The first in

Walker Took Oath.
The mere fact that he is not in To-
peka to take the oath Of office will
not prevent Burt P. Walker of o.
borne from serving as a member OF
the state irrigation board. Such was
the statement today of Bert Cornell
assistant secretary of state, who de-
clared that Walker has subscribed to
the oath and that the bond which he
filed when appointed by Governor
Hodges in March, 1913, is still in force
| and effect.
When Walker recently stated thet
he would not come to Topeka for the
inaugural and would not certify a
bond as a member of the irrigation
board, it seems that he had already
subscribed to the. oath in the secretary
Of states office AS, for his bond, il
is believed that sthe old bond viii hold
\ for period. of atAfast two years. Al
the end of that tin3e,s political observ-
ers remark, Walker may decide to give

UNHEALTHY LIFE IN CITIES
Statistics Show That DweIIers In "Hu-
man Bee Hives" Have Shortened
Days Of Existence.

Forty years will soon be the old age
mark for business men il there does
not come a change in the manner Of
living in cities. according to deduc-
tions of DR.. Louis B. Welsmiller, physi-
cal director of the New York West
Side Y. M. C. A. These deductions are
based on the examination Of more
than 1000 men during the last year.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said about the advantage of a sound
mind in a sound body, the tendency
in large cities, Doctor Welsmiller says,
is to go on demonstrating excessive ac-
tivity of mind. The condition is said
to be peculiar to hustling business
men. Result-tuberculosis because of
the campaign against it, has been on
the decrease, while diseases of the
heart, arteries and ,,idneys which be-
long normally only to old age. have
been on the increase, until there are
more deaths from the latter than from
tuberculosis.
We are told that life is too tense
and this tense condition is allowed tc
hold on too long. A more general re
gard for the advantage of play thai
will cause complete forgetfulness Of
business is suggested as the only SO
luton of the problem Of assuring ra
tional health conditions.

czARINA ESCAPED THE CROWD
UnweIcome Popularity Forced Wife of
Monarch to Climb Ladde When
Recognized.

The czarina's popu arity In Russia
has been enormously increased since
the war on account Of the work that
she has beer doing for the Russian
Red Cross.
It Is interesting to recall that her
majesty once had an extraordinary ex-
p~erience for a royal parsonage while
ON a visit to Germany. She was out
shopping one day, attended only by
one lady companion. and she had
hoped to remain unrecognized by the
people. While she was making some
purchases in a jewelers. shop. how
ever. the news of her identity got
abroad, and in a very few moments
there was a large crowd outside the
premises.
Exit through the front door was out
of the question, SO the czarina asked
the teweler to let herself and her COM
panion out of the back Of the shop.
The jeweler replied that that was
impossible, as the back yard was in
closed by a very high boarding which
would eff~ectually cut off their re-
treat.
That does not matter" said the
empress. Get a ladder and We will
climb ove it."
A ladder was brought and the czar-
ina and her companion rushed up 1t,
climbed we the boarding, jumped into
a quiet street, and made their es-
cape as quickly as they could.
A minute later the jewelers. shop
window was smashed to atoms by
the surging and excitable crowd.-Re

CONDEMNS GAS COMPANY.
Utilities Board Says Ocean City Cor
Z ~poration Was I~nsincere,


The Ocean County Gas Company
was insincere, the Board of Public
Utilities Commissioners says, in hand.
ing down a decision refusing to ap
prove a stock issue of $40, 900 and the
transfer of $12,680 of stock of the
Tuckerton Gas Company, for which
the Ocean County company was to
give its stock in exchange.
The board finds that the whole
transaction was of such a character
as would not commend itself to a
fair mind and that the proposed ex.
change of stocks and bonds would
involve several violations of the law,
1t was shown that an effort was
made to make it appear that the $780,.
900 of stock of the Ocean Gas Com.
pany vas actually issued June 2, 1910,
before the approval of the board was
required by law. The testimony, how.
ever, convinced the board there was
no bona ide issue of the stock until
after an effort had been made to trans.
fer the Tuckerton company's stock
November 80, 1912.
The board pointed out that the Civ
ing of a check for $4,000, which was
not used or intended to be used ex,
cept upon transfer of the Tuckerton
stock. vas a mere pretense and
subterfuge, and probably intended to
evade the clear requirements of the
law. 1t held further that the value
of the property of the company was
not such as to justify the stock issue.

Row over Rubber Co. Settling.

Vice-Chancellor Backes, in the
Court of Chancery, has allowed a rule
to show cause why a receiver should
not be named for the Trenton Scrap
Rubber Company, of this city. The
bill of complaint was filed by Harry
Freedman, a partner of the concern,
and it is directed against Isaac Fine
berg, another partner. 1t is not al
legged that the concern is insolvent,
but Freedman claims that Fineburg
has not lived up to the terms of agree
ment for d%issolving the firm.
The company has a plant on Per-
rine Freedman alleges that
Fineburg has used the money of the
company to purchase more than $12,-
900 worth of stock in the Leicester
Rubber Company, which has gone
into bankruptcy. Freedman further
alleges that Fineburg used money of
the Trenton company to meet notes
of the Leicester Company and *
tended a line of credit entirely too
large to the bankrupt company.
Because of these differences Freed
man agreed to sell his share of the
Trenton Scrap Rubber Company to
Fineburg. The latter gave Freedman
$4,000 in cash, three notes for $4,000
each and then they were to arbitrate
on the amount of excess that should
be paid to Freedman. They disa-
greed upon this subject and Freed
mar insisted that he was still a part
ner of the company and went to the
office. Fineburg, the bill claims, or
dered four men to eject Freedman
bodily from the place.
Freedman has deposited the $10,0 900
in cash and the three notes totaling
$4,000 with the court, and he asks
that a receiver be named to dispose
of the company and an injunction be
granted to prevent Fineburg from
selling any of the property.

OWE DEBT TO WOMEN
British Government ACknowI-
edges Aid of Fair Sex.
Momentous Question at the Close Of
the War Will Concern the Dis.
position of Those Who Have
Taken Places of Men.

In Great Britain there are two sub.
jects occupying the attention Of WON
en- just now. The first is how hest
to keep in touch and train the women
who volunteered their services to the
government at the beginning of the
war and who have not yet been called
into service. The second is whether
or not the women who are holding
positions formerly occupied nv mon
shall spend their wages or hoard If.
Considering this question the women
point out that everybody, the whole
nation, is being urged to spend, to
keep the money in circulation n to
help ease the financial situation for
the sake of the country.
On the other hand, the majority of
these women are dependent on their
exertions for a living, and many of
them had been out of work when
taken on by the government in piece
of men gone to war. Now when Me
war ends and these men return thew
will lose their jobs. At clue meet
ings. indeed at practically all gath
erings of women, even over the tea.
cups, this question is being seriously
discussed.
Along with it and of equal import.
anc is the question of keeping to.

teers. This school to be operated
through the war Office, the women
to be paid for their time and work
and be trained for the fields in which
they will sooner or later be needed
To get the best results it is urged
that there should be a board of voca
tional advisers in connection with the
work.
In spite of the fact that these won
en- offered their services at the re
quest of the government, men il
various occupations have refused tC
serve with them. The most pro
nounced stand was taken by the tran
drivers and conductors in Edinburgh
When the first crowd Of men left the
company to go to the front the com
pany tried to put women in theil
