PUT KANSAS CITY

 Employees
BEEN COLLECTING
 EIGHT CENT FARES
Blame Public Service Commission for Not Allowing Concern to Advance Street Car
 Rates

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 9.-The Kansas City Railway company the To-
 cal traction concern, was thrown into a receivership late today when Judge kimbrough Stone, sitting instead of Judge Arba S. Van Valkenburgh in the United States district court here granted a petition of the Kansas City
 refining company. asking that re-
 ceiver be appointed for the company. Frank c. Niles, president of a wholesale tobacco company, and Il
 member representing the city on the street railway board of control, was
 named as receiver.
 A petition presented saserts that
 the company is indebted to the cx- tent of $5,000,000 which it cannot pay, and that it owes the refining com pany $21 ,404 for fuel oil. The peti- ton further recites that the company
 owes its men wages, owes for mater l ials and equipment and owes interest
 on it's bonded indebtedness. A paragraph in the petition says:
 "The street railways income is sub
 jcct to such increases in fares as the Missouri public service commission wilt allow. Such increases as have been granted have been insufficient
 for the railways company to operate at profit"
 The company is now collecting an
 eight cent fare. Hearings were con- ducted in Kansas City earlier in the
 week on an application for an increase l to ten cents.

Daniels Wants to
 Make Pledge Good

Bangor, Maine, Sept. 9.-Advocacy of the league of nations formed the burden of an address by Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, at democratic rally here tonight.
 He said that every speaker who had taken the platform in behalf of war work activities while the war was in progress had promised the moth CTS and sisters of American soldiers that it was to be "a war to end war"
 "I would be ashamed" he continu- ed, eff l refused to keep that prom ise made to the motherhood of this nation"
 Secretary Daniels said the league would kill autocracy. because no na- ton not governed by the will of the majority could become a member.
 "It gives life and hope" he said, "to the doctrine of self determine tion of nations; it provides remedy for the peoples who are held down and oppressed by foreign rule. In my opinion, no nation would be able to hold an unjust attitude to any people against the opinion of all the free nations of the world.
 "This document is the magma char ta of labor. It not only preserves the rights which American labor has won in wages and living conditions, but also carries to all the other na- tions the benefits of better living conditions, but also carries to all the other nations the benefits of better living conditions and higher wages now nejoyed by American laboring men,"

Claim N. Y. Banks Trying to 1njure
 Prosperity of U. s

Delaware, Ohio, Sept. 9.-Senator Robert l.. Owen, of Oklahoma, in an address here tonight, accused New York banks of attempting to bring about an industrial and financial de- pression, blame it on the Wilson ad- ministration and thereby aid the cleo tion of Senator Harding.
 "These banks raised the rates on call loans to point which reached 20 per cent last November, and for the last eight months there has not been single month when these rates have not reached 15 or 20 per cent" hehe said. "The amount of the loans in aggregate has been very large"
 This is the money, he said, which the banks first borrow from the fed eral reserve banks at 5, 6 and per cent.
 This action, Senator Owen declar- ed, causes depreciation of stock and bond values and resultant decreases in manufacturing, all of which re- publicans use as reflection upon the democratic administration.

TWO HUSBANDS
 OF SAME WOMAN
 IN THROES OF LAW
Eternal Triangle Taken in Charge by County and
 City Officers
BRIDE OF WEEK
 HAD TEXAS HUBBY
Texan Comes to Pine Bluff and Finds Wife at 17O5 East Fifth Avenue When Loud Talk
 Results

J. II. Payne, of Fort Worth, Tex as, kissed his wife goodbye and put her on the train in the Texas city more than a week ago.
 One of those eternal triangles, one that may have too many angles to come within the three cornered class of marital predicaments will be chimed at a preliminary hearing at the court house, this morning, for a once unsuspecting husband and surprised, brand new hubby who are in Pine Bluff. The one with the most experience is at liberty on bond placed for charge of disturbing the peace and the latest to venture under $200 bond on charge of big amy.
 The woman in the case has her side to the story and a Texas lawyer who "gave her divorce" figures in it prominently. Also there are several and contradicting angles to local phases of the mix up, according to J. l.. McBurnett, J. w. Baldwin, dep- uty sheriffs and Bryan Wick, detec- tive of the Pine Bluff police depart- ment, who were called on, Thursday morning to settle small riot at 1705 East Fifth avenue, Pine Bluff residential address where husband met hubby and the wife of both could not settle things with her explana- tions.
 Unsuspecting Payne put his wife on the train at Fort Worth over week ago, kissing her goodbye. She was going to Hot Springs for her health, according to the story off cers said Payne told them. It soon dawned that her departure eked of mystery so he followed her to Arkan- sas. Arriving in this city early Thursday morning Payne said he went to 17O5 East Fifth avenue where he found his wife residing as Mrs. D. Nowlin. He was also informed, he said that Nowlin had married his wife at Little Rock last Saturday. She had given the name of Addie Moore. She said she had chosen this name because her first husbands name was Moore, according to the officers.
 Nowlin is switchman for the Cotton Belt railroad. He came home from night work soon after Payne called on his wife. A little girl sent to meet him and warn him not to Hr.1 1nl according to the story told the off cers. Trouble ensued--some of 1t very loud talk. Officers were sum- moned. On their arrival they arrest ed Payne for disturbing the peace and placed charge of bigamy against the switchman.
 Nowlin seemed more dazed with learning his bride of few days be- longed to another man than he was enraged; Payne pleaded he did not know his wife had tried to get divorce and the woman blamed 1t III onto lawyer. The court can prob ably figure it out. None of the three seem to blame for the. affair in the face of the three different stories told by the respective mem bers of the triangle, say officers.
 The swttchman, although facino a charge of bigamy, may have been a victim of circumstance. say off, cers who state that Payne said that if his wife ever tried or did get divorce he had not been served vith papers. The woman says she went to.a lawyer in Fort Worth and "paid for a divorce"
 It's up to the judge.
