1t Has Been a Bad Day for
Governor Capper.
Two Citizens Carry Grievances
to the Executive Offices.

This was a troublesome day for
Governor Capper. A Topeka woman
Mrs. Katherine S. Boggs-wanted
the governor to investigate the news
papers the doctors and the preachers.
r. J. Glassner of Washington county
also called. Glassner wanted the gov
ernor's assistance in discharging his
attorney.
Both Mrs. Boggs and Glassner have
been tried for their sanity. Recently
the Shawnee county probate court
held that Mrs. Boggs was sane, al
though there was much testimony
from local physicians that was con-
trary to the ruling of the court. Since
the time Mrs. Boggs started her SAM
tar1um she has been more or less be-
fore the public. But now that her
sanity hearing is out of the way, she
wants some new Investigations.
When she called on Governor Cap
per today, Mrs. Boggs told the eXecu-
tive there should be a probe of the
methods of newspapers in gathering,
preparing and serving the days events
to the public. She complained of To-
peka, Kansas City and st. Louis news
papers and the stories printed Then
she took up the doctors. There ought
to be some method of regulating the
physicians, the governor was told.
Take her own case for example. The
doctors said she was insane. Her
neignborS said she was sane. Some
urged to call an inquiry as to the
methods of the medical profession.
Says Preachers Need Investigation.
Preachers were also subject to in
quiry In the judgment of Mrs. Boggs.
There are several things wrong with
the ministry, the method of spreading
the gospel and the daily lives of the
preachers, themselves, according to
the woman's story. For that reason,
Mrs. Boggs wanted an investigation
something on the order of the Kansas
City election probe.
When Mrs. Boggs had told her
story, GlaSSner was introduced. Once,
according to his story, the Washing
ton county probate court inquired as
to his sanity. The trouble was tan
Sled up in the courts and John Han
son. the Mcpherson insanity lawyer,
came into the case as Glassners attor-
ney. Hanson finally got the case be-
fore the state supreme court. The
court did not agree with Hanson and
Hanson recently wrote Glassner that
he intended to appeal the case to the
United States supreme court.
Now GlasSner does not want Han
son in the case. He has tried to dis
miss him professionally, he told the
governor. but never has quite succeed
ed. Now Hanson promises to appeal
the case while GlaSsner wants to
abide by the courts decision. 1t was
a straight issue as to whether the law
yer or the cient-or former client
dictated the policy of the case. A
Capper could mend his troubles, dis
charge Hanson and restore happiness.
Both Mrs. Boggs and Glassner were
referred to S. M. Brewster by the gov
ernor. But Brewster was not in his
office and Mrs. r-Boegs is looking for
method of starting some new inveSti-
cations and GlasSner is, still seeking a
method of discharging his attorney.

DEFRAUD HARvESTERS
Fake Agency in Chicago Guarantees
Kansas JObs-5S Men Stranded.


Hutchinson June 2S.-Fifty-eight
CEica go working men. mostly foreign
ers, who claim they had paid fees to
an employment agency in Chicago, re-
ceiving a guarantee Of employment in
wheat harvest in Hutchinson. are
stranded here. They arrived yester-
day in a special car on the Rock Is
land. They claim to have paid s.
each to an employment agent who
guaranteed jobs here at $3.50 per day
and board. 1t was represented that
the Reno county commissioners had
called for harvest hands. The COM
missiOners here have issued no cali,
and the county is overrun with men
out of employment now. The men
spent their last money for railway
tickets and are now destitute.
They telegraphed the police depart
ment at Chicago and received a reply
this morning directing them to ask
assistance from the railroad on whose
car they arrived.

zinc WORK ERS OUT
Workers Force Shutdown in Big
Missouri District.
Miners Meet Imported Forces
With Dire Threats.

Joplin. June 2S.-Almost a general
shutdown of lead and zinc mines
throughout the Webb City, Carterville,
Prosperity and Duenweg districts was
caused today when a body of miners
marched from one shaft to another
inducing the men in the ground to lay
down their tools
Failure of operators to increase
wages to point which the miners
believe warranted by the high price
of ore, is the cause of the unrest. The
miners are not organized, have no or
ganlZed complaint and in some in
stances have induced men to leave
work where they were satisfied.
Another reason for the miners ac-
ton was the attempt to import about
100 foreigners here to work. The for
eign miners hardly got off the train
at Webb City before they were or
dered to leave in such terms that all
obeyed, some walking in their haste
Fully 1000 miners paraded the
streets in Webb City this afternoon.
Sheriff Baker, with a large posse, is
on hand to prevent trouble.

Phone Companies Consolidate.

of the two telephone plants at Valley
Falls was filed today with the public
utilities commission. Both plants
nave been sold to Walter MoXey and

by c. B. Harmon, was sold for IS, 600 :
while the Farmers Mutual company,
owned by A. r. Hull, was sold for
$500. Application for the approval

mesh. The colored foundations are presumably to be chosen to match the gown, and for summer wear this is a novelty that may flourish. The com bination of black and white, worn with oXfords or slippers, ought to look es- pecially we'll with white dresses.
 Another attractive color introduc- tion is managed by weaving the foot and lower part of the leg in black silk, and the upper part (beginning at the middle of the calf) in a color. Stock ings showing black combined with all the light colors make an appeal on the strength of pretty color combina- tions. All the visible portion of this hosiery, with either low or high shoes, is black.
 Silk hose in black and all colors, embroidered with small flower designs in self-color are not new but are always in favor. Occasionally small blossoms in contrasting colors are to be found on black stockings. Among the finest hosiery smart white clock ing appears as finish on black silk But the strongest tendency of the fashion is away from contrasts in the matter of decorations.

MOT many novelties in hosiery are 4V in evidence, fashion inclining still 10 favor the plain, firmly woven stock ing of silk. But for those who like little eccentricity occasionally some new features have been brought out in the weaving of hose, and for dressy wear there is something to report of hosiery woven in lace patterns and in two-color combinations.
 Plain hose of black or colored silk with heel foot and toe re-enforced, and hose similarly woven in lisle thread or cotton of finely twisted thread, are the only varieties that prove interest ing to the great majority of women It is likely, however. that the new silk hose woven in a lace pattern over the instep and ankle will come in for much favorable consideration with the advent of spring. Stockings of this kind show a panel of openwork. usu- ally in striped effects, at the front, that is very pretty.
 The catchiest of the novelties in silk hose is a double stocking. The underhose is of plain silk in a color. White, light blue, flesh, lavender and pink or even light green, supplies the color background Over this is a stocking of very open-meshed net in black, When flesh or pink is used for the foundation it is hardly mo- ticeabe when the stocking is on, and the effect is that of an open meshed net stocking with the pink flesh of the leg showing through each

Y HAT particular kind of fur-cloth tor k "Gsbric-fur,' as some people prefer to call it), known as "Pomoire," is shown here made up into costume for the winter promenade. With high collar and cuffs of fitch fur and smart fasten- ing of cord and buttons, it reflects something of the military modes. But the jacket, or short coat is strikingly original topping off the straight scant underskirt and long full tunic with which all the world of fashion is more than familiar.
 The coat merits study, as it is un- like any other without departing from the lines that are decreed as correct for this season. It is double-breasted, short in front and sloping downward toward the sides. At the back it IS heightened into a square tab which extends somewhat below the middle Of the entire length of the figure. The sleeves are straight and loose and a diminutive cape extends over them and across the back. It terminates at each side of the front in the jacket.
 Following the line of the cape Hat turnover collar lies below the stand ing collar of fur By this arrangement the fur collarette may be made ss9a rately and not always worn There is q slight blousing of the front Of the
