GIRLS WILL TAG
They viii Assist Good Roads
Campaign Tomorrow.
Teams in City Are Meeting
With Much Encouragement.

Topeka is surely enamored of the
idea of making the capital city of the
state and the county the hub and CEN
ter of all good roads activities. In
proof whereof J. A. Fansler, manager
of the Kansas Good Roads association,
calls all and sundry of the citizenry
to witness the generous contributions
of the business men of the city in the
$4,000 good roads promotion fund
campaign.
The campaign got under way early
Thursday morning. the seven teams
working as the agents of seven great
civic organizations leading an early
morning assault which netted contri-
buttons of nearly 'one-half the cam
paign quota.
These same teams were out again
today. and it was thought that at
least two-thirds of the $4,000 goal
would lie subscribed by night.
Tomorrow Tag Day.
Tomorrow every pedestrian and We
hicle rider or driver on Kansas avenue
VIII be given an opportunity to make
subscription to the fund. A double
score of the prettiest and most per-
suasive maidens in the city will be
. stationed on Kansas avenue for the
sole and only purpose of pinning a
, good roads button on the clothing of
the passersby in return for a cash
consideration
1t is expected that no less than $500
in subscriptions will be the result OF
! the tag efforts of the girls if Saturday
is rainy day. If Saturday is a day
of sunshine ii is estimated that the
lamount will be doubled.

A BANDIT and A MORMON
Francisco Villa Not Too Busy
Fighting To Marry Again.

Meico City. June 4.-Francisco
Villa. the bandit leader, has been mar
ried again, according to a story told
by a traveller to the newspaper Ex-
celsior of this city. The Traveller
claims to have. been present at the
ceremony, which he said was per-
formed at Valle de Allened. near
Parral. Chihuahua.
Villa is said to have appeared sud
denly one day in the village and
ordered all the inhabitants out for a
fiesta. The marriage, according to
the traveller, was performed by a
former Judge with two of the villagers
as witnesses. Afterward there was a
feast and a dance at which Villa in
troduced his bride. a girl of twenty
years. and delivered speech.
Mrs. Villa Smiles Her Doubt.
San Antonio, June 13.-Senora Luz
Corral de Villa, who with her little
son, Augustin, resides in San Antonio
when apprised of the reported mar
riage of Villa in Chihuahua, received
the news with a smile of doubt.
"Pancho and myself were married
at San Andres, Chihuahua, May 20
1911, and have never been divorced
Mrs. Villa said.
He pays my living expenses here
in San Antonio right along and event
ually l expect to rejoin him in Mexico
when all is quiet again. I hear from
him very often and write to him very
often"

Kansas All Ready. for Ratifica-
tion Of Suffrage.
But Papers Haven't Arrived for
Official Action.
MANY WOULD UNLOAD BILLS
Something Must Be Done to
Place Lid on Session.
Work Should Be Done by Early
Monday Afternoon.

Special session troubles have ar
rived.
Kansas has never received her cer-
titled copy of the national suffrage
amendment. Apparently almost all
other states have received copies. but
none have reached Kansas state de-
partments. Today there is real con-
Germ in the state house regarding the
matter. The legislature comes to To-
peka Monday to ratify the amendment
and as yet there is nothing officially
in the hands of Governor Allen or l.
j. Pettijohn, secretary OF state. for
ratification.
In an effort to overcome the situa-
ton, Governor Allen has sent tele-
gram to Washington asking that some
one show a little speed. Not only
have state officials failed to receive
the certified copy of the federal con-
stitutional amendment. but no one in
the state house has copy of the
resolution which passed congress.
Must Follow the Text.
When the state legislature meets in
Topeka Monday it must follow the
text of the federal amendment in its
| ratification resolution. The matter is
more complicated than may appear.
| In Illinois this week the state legisla-
ture was compelled to take two turns
| at the Wheel De1ore perfectly SOUND
and legal resolution was adopted.
Some one found a hole in the first
resolution and the Illinois lawmakers
did their work all over again. KAN
sas legislators are anxious that no
| chances be taken in this state
Another brand of possible trouble
| next week was laid before Governor
Allen today when he conferred with
Senators Walter f. Wilson and Ben S.
| Paulen. 1t was apparent that none of
the members of the session availa Bile
at this time have ever participated in
a special session. The detailed plan
a procedure was for this reason
matter of concern. 1t is the purpose
of administration members to prepare
the entire special session program in
advance that nothing may slip when
Il quick action is taken on the amend
lment. n
-''r Many Have Special Bills.
i Many members are anxious to intro
duce special bills at the session Mon
day. Once the bars are let down. how
ever. there is a belief that the session
may continue week or ten days. For
this reason. efforts are being made to
induce members to confine action to
the one purpose specified in the gov
ernor's call.
!, If the lid can be oinmped on intro
duction of bills. the administration
workers believe that the legislature.
which convenes Monday noon. will
conclude its work by mid-afternoon.

PREPARE TO QUIT
Telephone Strike Here Next
Monday Seems Certain.
Employees Are Demanding In
crease in Wages.

A general walk-out of the telephone
operators and linemen in Topeka next
Monday seemed certain today. Unless
satisfactory terms in the way f higher
wages and the right to deal collective
ly with their employers can be ar
ranged before that time, the workers
will quit Monday morning at o'clock,
it is said. The Topeka Industrial
Council has sanctioned the proposed
strike ana has agreed to finance it,
1t is understood.
The linemen claim they demanded
an agreement with the company April
l which has not been reached; that
the average lineman is making about
$50 month, that a few are receiving
$120 and the lowest paid about $55.
The operators claim they have not
been given a fair increase in wages
proportionate with the rate increase
put into effect May l.
1t is said that several Santa Fe shop
crafts have voted to have their tele-
phone service discontinued stimuli
taneously with the proposed walkout
Monday morning. A committee meet
ing of the linemen was held Thursday
night, at which the walkout was
agreed upon in case the company did
not meet the workers demands

sembly, called for tomorrow.
The cause for this sudden reversion
OF sentiment could not be ascertained,
as the leaders refused to comment di-
rectiy on the peace situation. The
heightened spirits of this group were
rendered more surprising by the fact
that the lesser delegates on the train
maintained the air of gloom that has
characterized their attitude for weeks,
and every member who could be pre-
vailed upon to talk declared he had
not swerved from his determination to
oppose signing the treaty unless i'm
portant notifications are made.
President Ebert. Matthias Erzberger,
Doctor Dernburg, Count Won Bern

waiting for the train to, put out. en-
