LOTHARIO AGED so
He Is Locked Up on a Charge of Dis
orderly Conduct.

Charlie Wilkinson, age so, and Mrs.
Ella Doty, age As, were arrested by
the police at 2:15 o'clock this morning
on the charge of disorderly conduct.
At 10 O'Clock this morning Eugene
Doty, the husband, was in conference
with the county attorney trying to Sc
cure a white slave" warrant for
Wilkinson. Everything was progress
ing smoothly when the county attor-
ney remarked that it would also be
necessary to bring some charge against
Mrs Doty. Then Doty backed up. He
didn't want his wife prosecuted-at
least he didn't want to be the prose-
cutting witness He called off the
white slave" stuff. But that will not
prevent the prosecution of Wilkinson
and Mrs. Doty in police court.
Last November Mrs. Doty brought
suit for divorce in the district court
and Doty declared today that Wilkin-
son furnished Mrs. Doty the money
with which to prosecute the case.
And when she failed to get the
DIVORCE" he said, Wilkinson came
right into my house and in my pres
ence demanded his money back
The divorce was granted to Mrs
Doty January 20 and a week later
Doty filed a motion for a new trial
and had the divorce set aside. Mrs
Doty went to Maple Hill to work in a
hotel and Doty says Wilkinson brought
her back to Topeka and that they have
been living together. The police

will be tried on that charge June Is.

GIVES UP FIGHT
TasseH Pleads Guilty
on Two Counts.
Was Raided Both by Police and
Sheriff's Force.

John Schenck, attorney for kath-
crime Tassell, referred to by the po-
lice az queen of the jointists," sought
today, first-to quash the information
against her, then to secure a change
of venue and finally to secure con-
tinuance. Her attorney failing in each,
Mrs. Tassell threw herself upon the
mercy of the court and pleaded guilty
to two countS-two sales of liquor.
The case was up for hearing in the
second division of the district court
before Judge G. H. Whitcomb. 1t had
been continued several times. Wit
nesses subpoenaed by the state were
ison, county attorney, was anxious to
bring the case to trial.
When Judge Whitcomb overruled
Mr. Schenck'S motion to quash, the
latter attempted to secure change of
venue. He read one newspaper ar
ticle after another telling of the ar
rest and conviction in police court of
Mrs. Tassen on the charge of violat-
ing the prohibitory law. He pointed
out the prominence given her case.
He told how Mayor J. E House had
declared she was the "queen-bee" of
the jointists and that he would strip
the rings from her fingers unless
she quit business. All these things, he
said, had so prejudiced the minds
of Shawnee county people that it
WOULD De lInpOSS1Dle 10 secure a jury
that would give Mrs. Tassel a fair
| trial.
Judge Whitcomb overruled the mo-
| ton.
Schenck Gives Up.
Then Mr.. Schenck asked for a con-
| tinuance and used as a basis the fact
that the newspaper articles about Mrs
| Tasse1 are so recent that they would
still be fresh in the minds of mer
called for jury duty. Judge Whit
| comb could not see it that way anG
| overruled the motion also.
The jury was called in and sworT
to answer correctly questions touching
upon their qualifications to sit a:
| Jurors. The case was going to trial
Then Mr.. Schenck threw up his hand:
figuratively speaking and announced
| that his client was willing to plead
| guilty on two of the three count:
charged against her That arrange
ment was satisfactory to the count,
attorney and the woman pleaded. A
the request of her attorney sentence
was deferred.
Jail sentence and a fine on thes'
| two counts may not settle Mrs. las
sells troubles. She was convicted OIL
| several counts in the police court ant
That case is still pending.
Mrs Tasseli'S residence on lowe
Jackson street was raided first by tn
police and then by the sheriff. Evi
dencc was secured in both raids.

"SONS" ARE HOPEFUL
Elimination of Hughes New Plan of
of State Heroes.

Chicago, June 6.-Convinced that
Roosevelt cannot be nominated by the
Republican convention the defensive
combination of favorite son candidates,
which is said to control about $50
votes, to day exerted its full il flu
ence to eliminate Hughes.
In this effort they received the
United support of all elements OF the
Progressive party leaders. This is eau
Gus day for state delegations and the
favorite sons managers are busy ty-
ing up their men with iron-clad pledges
to stick to the combine until the break
comes in accordance with some plan
to be decided on later.
While the old organization leaders
are certain they have control of the
convention they admit that the situa =
ton is pregnant with uncertainties at
present. They hope that with Roose-
Welt aid they may be able to agree
on a candidate acceptable to a major
ity of the Progressives and prevent a
third ticket being put in the field.
The plan of the organization is to
have the nominating speeches Friday,
take two ballots and adjourn in the
hope of effecting a compromise on
some one agreeable to the Roosevelt
forces

HERE'S THE WAY
1T LOOKS FOR
T. r. AT CHICAGO

Chicago, June 6--As the Progress
sives see it, this is the situation In the
Republican convention:
The Old Guard has nothing to de-
liver 1t will be unable to elect Root,
Weeks or any other conservative can
didate Hughes will be nominated
unless objecting to the deadlock that
is bound to arise from the repeated
balloting he comes out with hat
footed statement refusing to accept a
nomination in event of its being Of
fered.
In such a contingency, the Progress
sives say the stand-patters may throw
up the sponge and accept Roosevelt
as the only hope of victory
The Bull Moosers admit that this Is
u very, very remote possibility.
Victor Murdoch is doing his best to
aid George Perkins in holding off the
nominations by the Bull Moosers until
this deadlock ensues in the Republican
convention. Murdoch says that even
in a three-party race. Roosevelt would
have chance to win.

AT STUFF FETE

Chicago, June odd suffrage
feuds were forgotten around the punch
bowl at the Congressional unions re-
ception in the art rooms of the Black
stone theater when it was discovered
that guests had been beguiled into
drinking ice water instead of the real
thing.
Hundreds of guests had been served
and no one had commented openly on
the flavor of the stuff, when Miss
Alice Paul, national chairman of the
union, asked for a drink.
One taste was enough and walters
were hurriedly sent to the kitchen for
a supply to replace the water in the
punch bowl. misunderstanding about
the order is said to have been the
cause of the trouble.

was an announcement made today by
Lee Harrison, secretary of the state
board of administration.
There are only eighty three blind
students in the state school," said Mr..
Harrison. I'VE have no means of
discovering the number and location
of such children and recent inquiries
made concerning the school reveals
that but few know anything about t, e

they can agree on candidates and

of strength when first and second

TO WORK FOR I. R.
Cortelyou in Chicago to CO.
operate With Won L. Meyer.
Try to Line Up Old Guard for
the Colonel.
He KNOWS TEDDY'S PLANS
Also, He's Confident OF Old
Party Leaders.
Roosevelt Silent on Object OF
His Mission.
BY WILLIAM HOSTER.

Oyster Bay n. Y. June 6-@The sig
nificant announcement was made al
Sycamore Hill today that George B.
Cortelyou, after conference with Col
cooperate there with former Secre-
tary of the Navy Won L. Meyer and
William Loeb, jr., in promoting the
Roosevelt cause within the ranks of
the Republican party.
Mr.. COrtelyOu went to Chicago in
full possession of Colonel Roosevelt's
views of the situation as well as his
plans and wishes.
1t will be recalled that political di-
plomacy and finesse are Mr.. Cortel-
yous long suit. He also is close to
the members of the Republican old
guard, rot having left the party in
1912. He was successfully secretary
to President Mckinley, secretary to
President Roosevelt and campaign
manager for Roosevelt in 1904. In the
second administration of Roosevelt he
became secretary of the treasury.
He's FiAer.
In political matters Mr.. Cortciyou
has the reputation of being smooth"
and a most accomplished 'fixer." No
| more accomplished representative of
| Colonel Roosevelt could have been Sc
| lected to bring the old guard into line
/ for the colonel if that can be accom-
plished.
Mr.. Cortelyou numbers among his
close personal friends practically every
member OF the old guard He has
worked side by side with them in sew
eral big campaigns ard is probably one
| of two or three men who might be
named who enjoy the confidence of
the old guard leaders.
What messages, if any, Mr.. Cortel-
you carried to Chicago of course is
not known. 1t is understood he will
particularly identify himself with the
Roosevelt Republican league, made up
in large measure of the old guard
who have been intimately associated
with him.
Colonel Silent.
Colonel Roosevelt had nothing to
say with regard to Mr.. Cortelyou's
mission. The colonel in fact, main
tanned his silence with regard to
events in general in Chicago, except to
make specific denials of reports from
the convention city-that an emissary
of the old guard was en- route to Oys-
ter Bay to see him; that a list of six
candidates, excluding himself. Hughes
and Root, had been submitted to him
from which to pick a man upon whom
the Republicans and the Progressives
might unite and that he bad received
letter from Senator Borah urging
him to indicate a willingness to sup
port the nominee of the Republican
convention.
To these deniais the colonel added
fourth, that he had neither said he
would or would not support any can
didate. He has said nothing on this
, subject, nor on the subject of a third
ticket, and it is not his intention to
say anything. So far as can be gath
! cred, it is the belief of Colonel Roose-
F welt that the lime to announce ones
support of a candidate is when the
r candidate has been named.
