Last year Lee was a candidate for
he Republican clubs presidency
Burns Hegler of Eldorado was also a
candidate. The Eldorado newspaper
man secured a few more votes than
the Harveyville banker. But In a
clever speech thanking his friends,
Hegler asserted that he would be in
Topeka, Jan. 90, 1920, fighting for
Dick Lee and would bring his friends
with him. The speech and the action
of Lees friends in promptly making
Hegler's election unanimous assured
harmony at the 1920 business meeting
and also the election Of Lee.
So far as known no candidates have
appeared against Lee. And none are
expected. Leaders Of all factions in
the party have agreed that Lee should
win the honor and be given the pres
idency for the next year.
During the 1918 campaign Lee was
in charge of much important work
In the Republican state headquarters.
He also was aggressive in the Allen
campaign in the pre-primary fight.
During the recent coal strike, Gov
ernor Allen appointed Lee as his per-
sonaI business representative and sent
him to the Linn county coal fields.
There Lee secured and provided for
the loading and distribution OF hun
dreds of tons of coal to communities
| suffering from the fuel famine. He
| has been active in Fourth district po-
! litical affairs for number of years,
and is well known in the state.

Miler's nerve never was questioned.
AS a patrolman, as a city detective
and in the last three years as under
sheriff he has been in many tight
places, always coming out safe and
sound and with more than the ordi-
nary success in getting his man.
In recent years Miller has won
laurels by his success in running down
stolen automobiles and auto thieves.
During the fall he went to Kansas
City, remained there a week and came
home with five recovered Topeka cars
to his credit.
Won Laurels in Bisscn Case.
It was in the Bissell murder case
that Miller won his greatest public
recognition. It was Bob Miller, then
a city detective, sworn to protect the
legal rights of prisoners. who drove
the machine carrying Bissell to safety
behind prison walls pursued by an
angry Topeka mob.
1t was Miller who planned the bread
and water diet, the no cigaret punish
ment and who conducted the inQudsi-
ton which tore down Bissell's stub
bornness and resulted in a full confess
sion to one of the worst crimes in To-
pekas history. 1t was thru Miler's
clever handling of the case and the
public appreciation it created that
Hugh Larimer, sheriff, decided to ap-
point him first undersheriff.
During LArimer's administration
figures show that Larimer and Miller
have recovered more stolen autos and
arrested more auto thieves than the
entire Topeka police department. Ar
rests for violation of prohibitory laws
and other law violators by these two
men also stand high in comparison.
Miller came 60 Topeka in 1894 from
Leota. In 1898 he went on the police
force as patrolman. Since that time
criminal work has occupied his entire
time. For several years he was a
detective in Kansas City.

HOSPITAL NOT TO BLAME
DIR. w. F. Bowen Explains Incidents
Surrounding Birth OF Child.

DIR. w. +. Bowen Explains Incidents
Surrounding Birth OF Child.
The girl who gave birth to a father
less baby which died Wednesday
morning had not been turned out by a
Topeka hospital to make room for q
.spay'' patient, DR.. w. F. Bowen. SUI
perintendent of Christ hospital, the
institution referred to in The State
Journals story Thursday. declared to-
day.
Doctor Bowen said the expectant
girl mother was brought to the hos
pital by the city nurses and taken in.
Examination showed that her condi-
ton at the time was not delicate
enough to warrant confinement in the
hospital, he declared.
"She seemed unhappy at the hos
pital" the doctor said, and DIR. c. w.
Schwartz, who handles such cases for
US. asked her If she had friends in the
city where she could stay until it was
time for her to be brought to the hos
pitaI She said she had. She was
told at the time that when it became
time for her to be under medical treat
ment all she had to do was to call
Doctor Schwartz or Miss Louise
Kieninger, director of nurses, and an
ambulance would be sent for her i'm
mediately. AS events developed, she
did not do this. but instead the baby
came into the world without the moth
er having any medical attention I'M
til hours later.
while the girl was at the hospital.
she was an unruly patient. Altho she
was in no pain and. notwithstanding
the fact that she was being cared for
free of charge, she refused to get up
in the morning and insisted on having
her meals in bed, sometimes using
abusive language in addressing the
nurses. She was given the same treat
ment as patient who pays $50 a
week for a room.
Right now we have three babies at
the hospital, who were born father
less. Two of the mothers are still
there, receiving free medical care. The
other mother has gone, and a home
will be found by the hospital for the
baby. When these girl mothers come
to Christ hospital they get the best of
care and have the right to choose their
doctor, If they have any preference.
If not Doctor Schwartz handles their
case. All this is done absolutely with
out charge to the patient"
Doctor Bowen said Christ hospital
had done 50 much of this charity work
that he felt called upon to make his
statement of the case. a1tho no par
ticular hospital was mentioned in

sau Francisco Dec 16,-Grit5cism of Presidents Wilson's last message to Congress by the newspapers in Japan was made public here today by the Japanese consulate. According to the consulate the Tokio Yorodzu of Decem- ber 10 said:
 President Wilson says Americans should espouse the cause of right and justice, but it k curious to note that Amcrieas attitude is becoming in- ereasingly contrary to this principle of late The presidential message makes no reference whatever to the League of Nations nor to Jananese questions It k deplorable for the sake of Americans that they should more and more be led to lose sight of
 iHstice and humanity. The Japanese question is capable of immediate so mtion if justice is represented"
 The Tojio Nichi Niehi, December To- said President Wilson does not say a single word regarding it (the League of NationSl in his congressional mes. Sage. If he really believed that right makes might. why should he fail to urge ill his message the necessity of joining the league and trying to dispel the misunderstanding entertained by  Americans and the world generally :, The present attitude of President Wilson is strange, to say the least
