ASKS PART OF ESTATE
First Wife of Late Calvin Hayes After
His Insurance.

Because the late Calvin Hayes was
married and divorced back in the
sos and the woman to whom he
was then married, bu, who has been
married and left a widow since, is
claiming an interest in his estate, the
administrator, Eugene Hayes, today
filed suit in the district court against
The Mutual Benefit association and
Mary Foster.
Calvin Hayes, an aged man, was
found dying in a stairway in North
Topeka less than a month ago and a
coroner's inquest failed to divulge the
instrument of his death. His skull
was fractured in half a dozen places
and the jury found that he came to his
death by a blow delivered by person
or persons unknown to the jury. He
carried a policy for $1,000 in the
Mutual Benefit ASSOCIATION.
Eugene Hayes, son, was named
as administrator of the estate, and in
the petition filed today states that
one Mary Foster is claiming an inter
est III his fathers estate. His father
he states. married the present Mrs
Foster in 1864; that she obtained a de-
cree of divorce from him in 1868 and
married Thomas Foster with whom
she lived until he died in 1908. He
holds that she is entitled to no bene-
fits from the estate and seeks to re-
quire the insurance company to pay
the whole $4,000 due on the policy
to him as administrator

AFTER H. S. FRATS
1S Boys Accused of Secret Or
ganization Affiliations.
Many Are Members of PrOmi-
nent Topeka Families.

The peace of mind of some eight
high school boys is being sadly dis
turbed by the first investigation" be-
ing conducted by A. J. Stout. princi-
pal of the high school.
Two groups of boys are under sus-
picion. The first is believed to be the
remains of an ariStOcratic organization
styled THE Patricians'' which noml-
nally disbanded last year 1t is as
they have held meetings and have Civ
ton placed before a special meeting
members of the bunch admitted that
they helped each other in school poll
tics and other affairs.
Another One, Too.
The second group under suspicion
consists of a dozen boys, sons of Coun-
try club members. The authorities
believe these boys have been holding
meetings which led to dances at the
Country club, which were represented
to be parties given by single individ-
sons of a prominent state house Off
cial, a leading Topeka attorney and
the son of a well known local cap
italist and mortgage investor.
I'VE have nothing positive as the
result of our investig 1tions as yet"
Stout said today, land it may be that
the boys are free from blame. The
boys assert that there is no formal Or
ganization but they were merely
drawn together by ties of sociability
and cOngeniality"

HIS NIGHTS AT HOME
Court Holds C. NJ. Elliott in Jail Only
During the Day.

For a week at least, o. M. Elliott
will spend his day in. the county Jail
and his nights at home, or wherever
he desires. That was the sentence i'm
posed upon him by Judge Hugh Fish
er in the court of Topeka today after
Elliott had pleaded guilty to cashing
worthless checks.
The sentence is something new in
local court circles. Elliott and w. 1.
Jamison, his attorney, set forth that
Mrs. Elliott is in poor health and that
Elliott is needed at home during the
nights. Elliott is a Topeka real estate
man and five complaints have been
lodged against him in the court of To-
pekt within the last year, all charg-
ing the same offence-floating worth
less paper. Elliott attempted to eX-
plain to the court today that he need
ed money and had real estate commits
sions coming in with which he expect
ed to cover outstanding checks.

All of the White House social events
during the winter are to be held on
Tuesday, the Friday engagements of
last season being eliminated that the
President and Mrs. Wilson may leave
for regular weekend trips whenever
they desire.
The season begins unusually early,
the custom in the past having been to
open it after the holidays, or with the
New Years reception, an event which
never has been held under the Wilson
There also is one less event this
year than last, as the Pan-American
reception is eliminated and the first
reception will be that rendered to JUS

Good Roads Is Object.

The Automobile Trade association
of Kansas is coming to life this aft
ernoon at the Chamber of Commerce.
Failure of a majority of the automo-
bile dealers in Kansas interested IN
the organization to arrive on an early

elected and a board of directors of

mittee of the board of directors to

trictS with managers or vice preSi-
dents of the districts. Possibly meet
ings of the entire association will be
held in Topeka, or some other city

state meetings will be held. 1t is the
plan, however, to transact most of the
business at district meetings, the final
touches and action being taken at a
meeting of the state officer
Bylaws adopted will follow closely

Plans Secret for Present..
Meeting Held at Y. w. C. A.
Behind Closed Doors.

Members of the board of manage
ment of the Topeka Woman's club
met at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon at

citation to discuss the proposed boy
colt on eggs and butter. The meeting

S. S. Beggs, president, announced that
no plans for the boycott would be an
nounced.
"In fact, it is rot certain that we
will initiate a boycott" said Mrs
Beggs. I'VE may not wish to take
such a step at this time, and, even
should We decide to do so we would
first have to call a meeting of the
club members and have them decide
by ballot whether thely wished to act
on the recommendations of the board
of management. If we recommend a
boycott a meeting of the club prob
ably will be called tomorrow noon.'

of officers for the coming year.
Joint Session Tomorrow.
At IL o'clock tomorrow morning the
last session of the convention, another
joint affair, will open. At that time
the place and time of the next annual

county officers.
There is a liberal sprinkling of
women in the crowd of officials, in
each of the four associations. Politics
is one of the most popular topics OF
discussion during the inter-
walls between sessions. Crop condi-
tions in various parts of the state are
running a close second.

his plan of campaign after leaving
Washington but it is understood his
intention of beginning operations in
Cleveland remains unchanged. That
city will be the first stop on his west
ern trip, and then Detroit, Chicago,
Toledo and Cincinnati in the order
named. In each of these places grand
jury Investigations of alleged illegal
combinations to raise prices are under
way or are contemplated.
The special Investigators last day in
Washington was spent mainly in con-
solidating the information he has re-
ceived from the several federal de-
partments and in preparing evidence
for guidance of district attorneys
whom he will visit. In his final state
ment Mr.. Anderson reiterated his pre-
vious announcemen ent that much evil
dence of conspiracies to heighten the
cost of living necessities had been pro-
cured.
New York Has New Plan.
New York. Dec. 12.-Something bet
ter than the boycott as a means of
holding down food prices will be the
result of the federal investigation now
under way, the investigators hoped to-
day. That their desire is to find way
to cut prices on a proper level, rather
than to punish any individual was ex-
planned by federal officials.
'It would be a sad commentary on
our laws if we have to advise the pub
lie to starve" said Deputy District At
torney Markevich. That's what a
boycott means.
1.-The food spectators would not
feel alarmed over a boycott they would
simply keep their stuff a little longer
in their warehouses. The only ones
to suffer would be the small dealers,
who are injured as much by the prac-
tice of the sharks as the general pub
lie is. The boycott might drive the
small dealer out of business, but that
is about all it would do"
