mill of the Shawnee county divorce
court this morning when Mildred An
derson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
jamin w. Carter. 434 Woodlawn ave-
nue., filed an application for divorce
from Major Martin Anderson. Young
Anderson is well known about town
and is a son of the late Maj. Thomas
J. Anderson. mayor of Topeka in
1851, president of the old Topeka
Commercial club and a man promi-
nent in local and state affairs for a
quarter of a century. The application
for divorce was filed by d. H. Bran
aman.
That the divorce proceedings of the
young couple was entered with hesi-
fancy and regret by the young people
is known in court circles in Topeka.
In September, Branaman filed d SINH
lar petition but it was soon withdrawn
and an effort made to return to a life
of double bliss.
In her petition Mrs. Anderson de-
clares that young Anderson has failed
to provide her with the necessities OF
life, including in these necessities a
home and the ordinary articles of food
and clothing. The petition further
sets forth thtat the couple was mar
ried July IA, 1914, and lived together
until in August, 1916. first prior to

MONEY FOR YOUNG
State Should Be More Attentive, Judge
Hugh MacFarland Believes.

That the state of Kansas should APP
propriate money for the care of the
delinquent child, at least in proper
ton to the funds spent for the aged is
the belief of Judge Hugh MacFarland,
until yesterday judge of the probate
court of Shawnee county. who spoke
Monday afternoon before the members
of the Monday Tourist club of Topeka
The delinquent child is our days
problem Judge Mcfarland said.
1--WE spend more for care of the aged
than for the care of our future citi-
zens."
He spoke of the success of the work
in Topeka, the activity of travelling
nurses. end the cooperation on the
part of many of-the teachers in the
schools. The teacher can be, a great
aid" he said .She should investigate
reasons for backward and delinquent
children and report to the court. 1t
would clear up many problems"

HOLDS UP DECISIONS
Utilities Commission Takes Several
Hearings Under Amusement.

The state public utilities corfnmis-
sion, at a hearing held in the state
house this morning, took under adj
visement several matters which had
been brought up by various raiload
companies Operating in the state. No
decisions or orders were issued by the
commission today. FL
The Union Pacific applications for
permission to make a charge for clean
ing and disinfecting baggage cars, for
the amendment of present baggage
rules in regard to the handling of
automobiles, and in regard to excess
baggage scrip tickets, were among the
matters taken up.
The Western Passenger association
applied for cancellation of the rules
in regard to advance agents tickets,
and the Frisco is applying for permits
sion to cancel the joint fares rates now
in effect with the Atchison. Topeka &
Santa Fe, by way of Augusta.
An app1icai on by the Katy for an
amendment to the general baggage
rules was to have been taken up, but

pOned.

liquors into Kansas by railroad unlaw-
full.
The police in making this statement
do not intend to include the respect
able, law-abiding taXicab drivers, but
the drivers of cars, who even now
haunt the depots for night and day
shipments of liquors. In the future,
the police believe, these taxicab dr1V-
ers will have innumerable fares to
Kansas City and will return with their
automobiles filled with liquor for To-
peka consumption.
In fact it is believed that the bring
ing of liquors into Kansas in guam
titles large enough to keep anything
but a mosquito alive can only be done
thru the medium of the taxicab driver
with bootlegging tendencies when the
legislature gets thru with the Stone
bill. And already the police are TAX
ing steps to put damper on this con-
templated evasion of the prohibitory
law

BOtkin Wants Kansas to Go
Back to Convention System.
Statewide Primaries Not Prac-
teal, His Report Says.
ELECTION COSTS ARE HEAVY
Bill to Repeal Law May Be In
troduced This Week.
Ballots Too Complicated for
Voters to Understand.

In his biennial report submitted to-
day to members of the legislature. j.
7. Botkin, as secretary Of state, de-
clared the statewied primary law is
impractical and should give way to
county primaries for the selection of
delegates to state conventions. The
Botkin report is the first gun fired in
the legislature in opposition to the
statewide primary. Bills will prob
ably be introduced this week for the
repeal of the primary law.
Botkin admits in his report that the
primary is right in principle. In op-
Grafton, tho. the statewide plan is i'm
practical, he declares. He urged a
return to the county primary plan
with primary selected delegates to the
state convention. Botkin also urges
that the state election laws be changed
to permit. easier and more intelligent
voting. He mentions the recent state
wide election when SO, 326 more votes
were cast for president in Kansas than
for governor while the presidential
votes were $3.50 greater than the
vote for state candidates.
Election Costs Heavy.
In his report Botkin says in part:
"A verv serious objection to the law
is the cost to the taxpayers of the
state. However, if the law had re-
suited as it's advocates hoped and be-
lieved it would, this objection would
have no force. But it has not so re-
suited. 1t has failed to correct many
of the abuses sought to be corrected
1t has added materially to the power
of the press in the control of politi-
cal affairs. 1t has made it necessary
for a candidate for a state office tC
spend more money for a nomination
than is consistent with public policy
1t has given the candidate with plenty
of money an unfair advantage ovel
his less favored opponent, regardless:
of their respective merits. and an ad
vantage that is fraught with grav'
danger unless the system is changed
Judging from the returns of the
five elections held under it's provi
sions. it is apparent that our primar,
| election law, as a statewide PROPOSE
| ton, is a failure. 1t is right in prin
ciple, tho impractical as a statewide
| affair. 1 hope to see a law passed pro

PUT ON EXTRA FREIGHT
Union Pacific Divides Run Between
Junction City and X. c.

Because the freight traffic between
Junction City and Kansas City is be-
coming too. heavy for local freight,
which operates between the two places
over the Union Pacific. the train is to
be split at Topeka, and two runs are
to be made instead OF one. The
change will make Topeka the head
quarters of four train crews. as there
will be two trains originating here in
the future, whereas formerly Topeka
was merely an Intern ediate point for
one. ,- 4. i. .,..5.

ously, one for Kansas City and the
other for Junction City, and viii both
