ARREST MAY BURNETT
Charge Is Contributing to Delinquency
of a 14-Year-Old Boy.

Due to confessions made to the
chief of police and the county proba-
ton officer by a boy named Stark.
fourteen years of age, May Burnett
was arrested today charged with con-
tributing to the delinquency of the
this morning but because of the alb
sence of Judge Hugh MacFarland the
case was not taken up.
Among other things a fourteen
year-old boy should not know, May
Burnett is charged with teaching MIN
to steal. Mrs. Burnett is near forty
five years of age and lives upstairs
in rooms on lower Kansas avenue.
The Stark boy and his relations
with the Burnett woman drew the at
tention of the officers through the
theft of laprobe from James F. Tally
a few days ago. Stark was arrested
or warrant charging the theft. Aft
er his arrest Stark told Harvey Par
sons. chief of police. his story.
Parsons states that the boy told him
Mrs. Burnett urged him to steal for
things. Among other things he mem
toned gasoline and oil he had stolen
from Thomas Horsfield, groceryman.
He declared he stole a chicken also,
but that May Burnett was afraid the
feathers would get her into trouble
and she had him throw the dead fowl
into an alley.
The boy was ordered to stay away
from the rooms of May Burnett once
before and failed to do so. She pro-
tested to the officers that she had a
right to allow the boy to visit her if he
wished; that ne had run away from
home and had no place else to stay
Tho boy is now being held at the
detention home.

HE WANTS A WIFE
Veteran of IS Says He Will Marry
Mrs. Briggs if He Can Find Her.

An ole soldier who declared he was
horn in 1881 applied at the office of
Hugh Mcfarland, probate judge, for
the address of Mary Briggs, widow,
whose children were taken from her
by court order the first of the week.
He was looking for a wife. He didn't
leave his name but he took Mary
Briggs's address with him when he left
the court house.
'I read about this woman in the
State Journal he said, land as / lost
my wife about a year ago and have
good home. I thought 1 would look
her up. If she appears to be the
right sort of woman I'll marry her"
Judge Mcfarland did not know
Mrs. Briggs's address. The veteran
showed disappointment.
"Well, then, Judge" he said. you
know of any other likely widow
around town."
The judge knew of none he cared
to mention. The old soldier reverted
Mrs. Briggs. He was given very little
information. 1t was learned that the
sheriffs office had her address and
he was sent across the hall. Joe Hol-
man gave him the address and a min
ute later he went out the front door
and down the steps as fast as man
eighty-five years of age could be ex-
pected to go.
No one knows what happened from
that time hence but so far no license
has been purchased by the court house

June IA, in St Louis, Mo-, at the
time of the meeting of the National

tending the parades.
A meeting of the executive board of
, the Kansas Equal Suffrage association

to have a good representation. A spe-

the Kansas delegation to Chicago.
Among the Kansas women who
have already arranged to go to Chi

Another branch of the work
planned at todays meeting was that
of using the influence of the Kansas
women to induce the convention to
put a suffrage plank in the national
Republican platform. The same eff
fort will be made to have a suffrage
clause put into the Democratic plat
form. Many of the states have al
ready such planks in the party plat
