Mrs Shippey's petition further
states she was married to Henry Lee
Shippey in Kansas City, August 8,
1908. and separated from him January
81, 1920, thru no fault of her own"
She alleged Shippey persisted in dis
regarding his marital duties and
persisted in living with women of i'm
moral chara cter."
Deportation Proceedings Failed.
When it became known the Babin
girl was here and was soon to become
a mother, deportation proceedings
were started against her at, the instf-
cation of Mrs. Shippey. But the i'm
migration department at Washing
ton ruled that the girl was not sub
ject for deportation.
The French girl lived quietly with
her mother and sister in Kansas City
for nearly a year and Shippey took up
work on a Los Angeles newspaper.
Mrs. Shippey also lives here.
The war triangle then dropped out
of the public mind until last week
when Shippey and Madeleine Babin
were reported living in Monterey,
Mexico, with their son.

TO ASK STATE AID
Poultry Breeders Need More
:;
Money For Industry.
Much Interest Shown In Annual
Show Here.

The interest in the state poultry
show now in progress at the city audi
torium and the number of birds dis
played therein would justify an appro-
priation from the state to further the
poultry industry, it is thought by Off
Gals of the State Poultry association
and by other leading poultry breeders.
Paid admissions to the poultry show
Tuesday totaled S6z. It is difficult
to, find room for all the entries of birds
that have arrived at the exhibit. Uni
form cooping used for the last several
sears atsthe poultry show has sinpii-
fiel the arrangement at the show and
made possible great economy OF space,
but even under such conditions the
problem of placing all the birds is a
difficult one.
Many kansans Attend.
Poultry breeders from all parts of
the state now in Topeka for the an
need of state poultry appropriation
to the present legislature.

ita; and numbers 3099 and 3116.

worked out.
At 1890 the house adjourned until
10 o'clock Thursday morning.

URGES BRICK-CEaENT PLANTS
Use First Million of Auto Lii
censes For Construction.

Governor Aliens message went to
the legislature today. There ara more
than 5000 words in the governors
proposal for needed enactments. 1t is
the longest message ever received by
a Kansas Legislature Twenty-slX spe-
Gift proposals are included in the
message and more than forty iegisla-
tive enactments are asked by the gov
ernor in carrying out his program.
When the message reached the
house and senate this morning. 1t gave
prospective reading Jerks the oppor-
tunity of a lifetime % try their lung
power and dictiop. Governor Allen
did not go before the legislature to
submit his proposals. He may later
appeal before a joint session of the
house and senate, tho, to urge certain
laws under the farm tenantry amend
ment and his plan to divorce the pub
lie utilities service from the court of
industrial relations.
Special Messages.
Special messas es are to go to the
legislature on the Industrial court and
farm tenantry plans. The governor
may also submit special message re-
garding his proposals for new state
revenues.
one of the most important features
of the program presented today is
Gov srnor Aliens demand for removal
of The direct tax system. He would
l.eet the situation by providing new
and additional revenues thru indirect
taxes. He wants the inheritance tax
law exemptions reduced, would pro-
vide for a state income tax law, a pro-
duction tax on oil, gas and other min
erals and would boost the motor Ii
cense revenues.
Brick Cement Plants.
State operation of brick and cement
plants for highway building is urged
by Governor Allen. He believes the
state should use the first $1,0OO,0OO
from the motor license fund for con-
struction of the plant which would
provide road building materials to
various counties at cost. The new mo-
tor license law, he believes, should pro-
duce S3,00O,000 year Under the sys-
tenn of state aid. $S,000,000 worth of
highway building could be carried out
in Kansas each year with adequate
funds remaining for road dragging
purposes
Radical changes in existing laws af-
fecting the state banking department
are urged. The message touches on
the Salina bank trouble, urges greater
power in the governor for removal of
a state bank commissioner and a spe-
cial commission to aid the commits
sioner in checking up affairs of banks
More rigid examination laws are also
urged for state banks. The bank COM
missioner. the governor believes.
should be solely responsible for issu-
ance of charters to new banks.
Passage of a new workmen's COM
pensation law, creation of an adequate
budget system passage of grain
warehouse law and state control and
regulation of stock yards are other
vital features.

senger and Freight Rates.

Kansans are saving at the rate of
S3,4O9, ,62649l annually in passenger
and freight rates pending final deter
mination of the intra-state rate case,
according to an estimate today by the
accounting division of the Kansas
cour of industrial relations. OF this
amount approximately two million
dollars is in passenger fares and the
balance in freight.
The Kansas court refused to grant
he full increases authorized by the
interstate commerce commission for
interstate traffic. Hearing on the car
riers' appeal has been indefinitely
postponed.
No increase was allowed in passen-
ger rates or crude oil and only mod
crate increase on coal and building
materials maximum of 30 per cent
was allowed on miscellaneous freight.
The interstate commerce commission
had allowed a 20 per cent increase IN
passenger fares and 35 per cent on
freight.
The difference between the level OF
interstate rates applied to intrastate
business and thet level fixed by the
court of industrial relations has been
estimated by the rate experts or the

ing member of the Presbyterian
