San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 13.-With
the announced intention of opening a
legal battle to recover from her father
a fortune running into several fig
ures." Miss Amy Rohr Ullman, New
York society beauty and heiress, who
has just obtained a final decree of di-
vorce from Simon Ottinger, wealthy
clubman and son of n. Ottinger, who
resumed her maiden name when
granted the divorce, arrived here Sun
day from Reno.
The fortune left her by relatives,
she said, was to be held in trust by
her father, E. S. Ullman. muItimillion-
aire fur magnate of New York, and
who three years ago had the distinc-
ton of being rated with Marjorie
Gould as the highest income taxpayer
in New York.
The daughter said that following an
enlargement between herself and her
entire family, based on her desire to
become independent, she demanded
that her father turn over her fortune.
The demand was ignored, she declared.
Now, having obtained her divorce at
Reno on October %. and having at
tanned her majority last April, she has
come to San Francisco to obtain legal
advice in the effort to compel her
father to give up the inheritance.

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 13.-About three
hundred mounted Villistas under Ban
dit Leader Quevedo today are pro-
ceeding from the vicinity of Gallego
toward the outposts of General PERISH
ing's American expedition at Ell Vale,
about fifty miles distant, according to
an announcement made by the Mexi-
can defacto government authorities at
Juarez-
This is the same band that raided
a Mexican Central railway passenger
train and killed twenty-nine guards
while searching for Americans at La
muna recently. The Carranzistas
however, do not believe the bandits
will hazard an attack unless they en-
counter a small accommodating force OF
Americans.
United States government officials
reported today that a. military train of
Carranzistas had been captured at
Fresno. just outside Chihuahua City,
by ViIlistas. The bridge was burned
behind the train, it was learned, and
the de facto forces were compelled to
abandon it. Consul Soriano Bravo at
Juarez stated he had heard nothing of
such an attack
The release of the two Americans
held at Juarez was taken up by Con-
sui General Garcia again today

White of Emporia has not been over

So he exercises the constitutional priv

, the Progressives have mentioned the
fact that Hughes drew the choice po-
sition at the head of the ticket on
the editorial page of Whites Emporia
Gazette Then they have also men,
, toned the failure of White to say one
soft. tender and kindly word for
Hughes during all the campaign. Add
ed to that is a more recent memory
of Whites editorial the day following
the Kansas election. In that edi-
toriaI White mentioned-he displayed

KEEP A SHARP EYE
Kansas Businessmen Organized
for Legislature.
To See That legislators Don't
lnjure Their Trades.

The Kansas Employers association
is now actively engaged in seeing"
the elected members of the legisla-
ture and learning what laws are like
ly to be proposed when the legislature
meets. The association is made up of
big business men turnout the state,
organized for the purpose of blocking
legislation which they consider to be
detrimental to business interests. In
a notice to the employers OF the state,
asking for members, the association
says:
ture the business men wake up to find
new laws placed on the statute books
that are of more service to politics
than to honest business"
The employers. except the coal
mine operators, have never had an or
ganization in this state There has
never been a systematic effort made
to prevent much of the legislation
which business men assert has proven
harmful. BY not having any organi-
cation the Pure Shoe" bill was passed
by the legislature, according to Kan
sas employers The commission mer-
chants say that because of failure to
have an organization to watch the
legislature the commission merchants
law was passed by the last legislature
A good many business men are OPP
posed to the workingmen's compen-
sation law and TO the minimum wage
and maximum hour laws and they
want to stop any further enactments
along this line. if possible, or to secure
changes that will make them less
harmful to their interests.
The association asserts that it has
no proposed laws in mind at the pres
ent time for the particular benefit OF
employers but it does know of numer-
GUS laws which would be detrimental
to the business interests of the state
that are being prepared and will be
waiting for the legislature
