BATTLE TUBERCULOSIS
Physicians of Three States Compare
Notes at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Oct. 26.-Outstanding
points in the fight against tuberculosis

cal society which starts three-day

Missouri, Illinois and Iowa are in at
tendance.

NO WITHDRAWAL NOW
Villa Activities Change Complexion of
Mexican Demands at Conference.

Washington, Oct. 26.-ViIlistas' ac-
tivity near Chihuahua had the effect
today of convincing officials here that
no thought should be given soon to
removal of guardsmen from border
patrol duty or withdrawal of General
Pershing's column from Mexico. Fear
was felt that if Villa should succeed
in his apparent movement to capture
Chihuahua, he might find it easy to
get control later of nearly all northern
Mexico. The entire Mexican situation
was regarded as more serious than for
many months.
Conditions at Chihuahua were the
subject of great conflicting reports
Mexican Amba ssador Arredondo re-
ceived from Consul Garcia at Ell Paso
a denial of General Trevino, Carranza
commander at Chihuahua, that he wa
short of ammunition or intended to
evacuate the city. Carranza losses in
the fight with Villistas at Santa Ysabel
had been slight, he said, and 5000
troops had arrived to reinforce the
garrison. War department reports
however, were that Villa was en-
camped five miles from Chihuahua
with a considerable force after defeat
ing Carranza troops severely and that
Trevino was ready to abandon the
city.

to rule upon the validity of all con-
tracts, franchises and ordinances and
to establish the rights of all parties
under the creditors agreement.
City Counselor Harzfeld of Kansas
City. Mo-, also submitted a plan SINH
lar in some respects to the other, but
it was considered Objectionable large
ly because it called for delay of at
least four months in the settlement
of the controversy, while a new group
of engineers and experts make an ex-
animation of the gas fields and pipe
line facilities. Both of these pro-
posals were read to Judge Booth, who
took no action upon them. He mere
ly announced that the original suit
would continue and the case stands
for final hearing
The first matter that will be gone
into will concern the division of the
ascent rate as established by the
Kansas utilities commission. 1t was
indicated that if the 28-cent rate is
to stand then the receiver must get
more than two-thirds in order that
he may be compensated. If he can
not get more than two-thirds, it will
then be necessary finally to establish
such rate as will yield a compensa-
ton upon a two-thirds division for
the receiver.

MILADY'S BALLOT
Both Parties Struggle Desper.
ate1y for Women's Vote.
Conduct Own Campaign-T. r.
Addresses Them Today.

Chicago, Oct 26.-How will mi1ady
mark her ballot November Z? Both
major political parties are trying des-
perately to shape the answer. For as
the women go, SO may the nation.
They may swing Illinois with its TWEEN
ty- nine votes and the twelve suffrage
states have a total of ninety-one cleo
toral votes. That is why the woman
voter will not trip unnoticed to the
polls this year. Hundreds of party
workers and thousands of dollars are
being poured out in a feverish bid for
her vote At western campaign head
quarters of both parties here the wom-
Democratic and Miss Harriet E. Wit
tum at the Republican, are making
the final drive to capture the women
vote.
Theodore Roosevelt will speak at a
womenS rally here today and is ex-
pected by Republicans to offset the
effect of President Wilson's speech to
women here last week. The women S
bureaus are independent organiza-
tons, maintaining bureaus for foreign
women, speakers bureaus, committees
on literature, publicity, women's clubs,
organization and finances. The wom-
en- have duplicated the national cam
paign organization of the men and
are running it alone.
No Pink Tea Affair.
These women's bureaus are not pink
tea affairs-a busy office where there
are dozens of women moving quickly
about, juggling telephones, clicking
typewriters and rows Of girls deity
slipping campaign literature into en-
velopes and stamping them. At desks
women are in earnest conference
They are youthful rather than old, but
women of dignified, refined manner
many of whom are social workers OF
well educated club women. There is
no chatter. Men never showed more
executive ability-not men politicians
at least. The final windup of the first
women's national campaign is planned
to the smallest detail. Hundreds OF
local organizers are lining up the rur-
al vote.
Autos carrying parties of speakers
are making weekend trips. Rallies
in every district are planned. 1t is
estimated that 10 per cent of the one
and one-half million women voters In
Illinois will cast ballots.

cure future operation of the road.
One-half interest in the Oil City

ifornia was acquired for the sum

war and has been bought up in this
country.

company OF those, 17,126 hold pre-
ferred stock and 26,493 hold common

number of holders of preferred stock
caused, it is said, by several hundred
individual stockholders in Europe
selling and the stocks being bought
up by fewer individuals in this coun-
try. However, the number of holders
of common stock shows q gain of L.
12S over last year.
Leaves at O'Clock.
After opening the polls at the stock
holders meeting President Ripley and
his party went to the Topeka club for
luncheon. Mr.. Ripley stated he was
unable to say whether or not he
would inspect the shops this afternoon
but said he would if he could find
time. He leaves at o'clock this af-
ternoon for Chicago.

was telling down to the last details
the story of her life with Christopher
Beutinger, the man she slew to escape
his embraces
outlined to the jury. 1t pictured her
strappfng six-foot husband as lust
full brute, man untrue to his mar
rage vows, Quarrelsome, threaten
ing creature who made her life a bur-
den. The roses had gone from her
cheeks and her eyes were ringed. She
hesitated at the glare of publicity be-
fore throng of morbidly curious
murder fans"
She had welded Beutinger ten years
ago. when she was only slip of
girl and he a man grown-fifteen or
more years her senior. He had fas-
cinated her-the winsome little
Jamaica girl who had never known
the world. And they had travelled
afar. even going for a time to the
Philippines. But she learned sorrow
fully that Beutinger was a drunkard
a man of violent lust, whose excessive
indulgences extended even to the serv-
ants in the home. She had been forced
to get a man and his wife as servants
because of his attentions to the single
women.
Got Divorce, Then Made Up.
Often, it was said, he was abusive
He had even threatened her life
Then she had decided. despite her
children and the ban of the Catholic
church on divorce, that she must be
separated from Beutinger. So she
gained a divorce, only to return to him
on his promises before mother SUI
perior that he would reform. But the
reform was shortlived. Quarrels
started again. She had borne him six
children in their nine years of MARI ed
life and was about to become a moth
er again. An operation robbed her of
motherhood however
She then returned home i'll and
! weak. Her husband dwelt apart from
her but on the night of the killing he
entered her chamber after she had
he'd her children say their prayers and
tucked them in bed. He tried to force
unwelcome attentions upon her, de-
spite her physical condition. She re-
buffed him. threatening to get a di-
vorce. Then. according to the de-
Tense. he had repeated threats against
her life.
Expects Quick Acquittal
Finally, when he entered for the
last time, with eyes flaming and ap-
preached her bed she flashed a pistol
and fired until it was empty. Chris
TOPPER Beutinger lay crrhnpled at the
foot of the bed while the woman
sobbed Historically: He won't bother
me any more.
The trial proceeded so rapidly that
the defense expected to complete its
work today or tomorrow and get
quick acquittal.

saying, ''It is something of which no
one knows the meaning.
HAS any plan been worked out by
which the roads will combat the law?"
he was asked.
NO other than it will probably be
a matter of individual action. Devel-
opments will probably come in differ
ent parts of the country. 1t is prob
able some of the roads will ask the
courts for its meaning"
Railroads Non-Partisan.
1t is understood in railroad circles
that the roads in receivership will ap
peal to the courts for the exact mean
ing of the law. Mr.. Ripley asserted It
has "teen put thru by man VINO
did not know anything about what Ii"
was dong" The matter will probably
be taken up individually and in diffec-
ent ways in different parts of the
country, Mr.. Ripley said
Mr.. Ripley denied combined Ell
fort on the part of corporations to
elect Hughes, that is, in so far as the
railroads are concerned:
"I do not know anything about what
corporations other than the railroads
are strictly non-partisan in the cam
paign. They are not even lending
either candidate their moral support.
There have been charges" he was
reminded, that the corporations are
spending millions to elect Hughes.
"Such a thing is out of the ques-
ton. It is against the law for cor
porations to spend money in po-
Iitical campaign They couldn't do it
if they wanted to-" he replied.
The Santa Fe president refused to
make any personal forecast on the out
come of the election.
Will Be No Landslide.

either wav-either for Wilson or
Hughes. That's my opinion" he said.
The Santa Fee executive asserted that
the business of the railroads is good,
that sit is unusually brisk
do you believe it a healthy bust
ness=do you think it will continue ?'
NO, the unusual volume of business
being done by American railroads is
due largely to the war"
cat present" he said, conditions
over the Santa Fe system and the vol
ume of business the road is doing is
unusually good"
Mr.. Ripley expressed considerable
surprise that a rumor to the effect
that he was about to retire had not
preceded him in Topeka. This is the
first stockholders meeting he has at
tended for several years whereat he
wasn't forced to deny printed reports
that he would retire from active rail-
road service.
