BONUS IS STILL IN DOUBT
State Has Not Received All Votes for

American Legion officers are today
trying to secure a final. official check
of the bonus vote in last Tuesdays

counties, uncertainty prevails in sew
cess of the plan.
In order to win the bonus must re-
eeive a majority of all votes cast.
While the affirmative vote was
heavily in excess of the negative vote,
there seems to be a decided occa-
sion for doubt as to whether the pro-
position was given a majority over

Circular Sent Out in an Effort
to Reach New Men.
B. M. Jewell Declares He Knows
Nothing About 1t.
HAVE LITTLE EFFECT-WELLS
Condition of Equipment Would
Permit a Reduction.
Original Order Issued at Albu-
querque, New Mexico.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-An appeal for a
strike circulated among shop employees
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe.
received little attention of railroad and
union shop crafts officials today.
B. NJ. Jewell, president of the rail-
way federated shop crafts, said he
knew nothing about the matter. A. G.
Wells, vice president in charge of oper-
alton of the road, declared it did not
affect the road and the equipment
was in such good condition that re-
duction of shop forces was under con-
sideration.
My information is that the circular
in question was issued over the sigma
ture of w. S. Peterson, fourth vice
president of the late Santa Fe system
federation" said Mr.. Wells, adding
that in his opinion the circularizing of
the shopmen would have little or no
effect
Jewell Never Heard of 1t.
'I never heard of it, Mr.. Jewell
said, when asked concerning the ORR
men at Albuquerque, N. NJ, said pur-
ported to have been drafted by union
men who did not strike last July /.
Only one of the circulars had
reached the Santa Fe offices here. 1t
was picked up in Syracuse, Kan.
Try to Reach New Men.
Albuquerque, Nov. 1S.-W. s. Pat
terson. secretary of the federated
shop crafts, said that the strike order
would affect seventy lien employed
in the Santa Fe shops here and about
one thousand men on the system. He
refused to say whether he expected
this many men would obey the order
to strike November is.
He admitted that the call, which
was not signed by any shopcraft Off
cials, had the approvai of the organ
iz&tion. 1t is the am, he said, to at
tempt to induce the men who did not
strike last July or who nave since re-
turned to work, to leave their work.
SO far as general officials of the
road in Topeka know, no circular of
the sort mentioned has been circulat-
ed among the shopmen here.
The only information which has
reached F. c. Fox, general manager
of the eastern lines, at Topeka, on the
new strike" is a telegram received
this morning from Vice President
Wells. practically repeating what
Wells gave to the press agencies in
Chicago.

copaI church of st. John the Evan
geltst and the choir singer, Mrs.
James Mills.
Nellie Lowe Russell. a negress liv-
ing near Mrs. Jane Gibson, self
claimed eyewitness of the tragedy,
reiterated her story that Mrs. Gibson
was calling at her home on the hour
of September IA when Mrs. Gibson
claimed to have seen the woman in
gray and a man companion at the
scene of the crime and heard shoot
ing.
Mrs. Ruser's story, told in affida-
Wit FORM has been turned over to
Deputy Attorney General Wilbur A
Mott by Timothy n. Pfeffer, counsel
for Mrs. Hall, the widow. 1t is a dI-
rect challenge to the truth of Mrs.
Gibson's story and, if it is proved true,
will deepen the mystery which has all

than eight weeks.
Mrs. Russell said tnat about 9:45

HOTEL STEEL ARRIVES
Work Can Be Rushed Now on Com
pketion of First Floor.

Work Can Be Rushed Now on Com
pletion of First Floor.
Arrival today of three cars of steel
for the Pratt-Thompson Construction
company insured quick work in
completing the first floor of, the new
100000 Hotel Kansan at Ninth and
Kansas avenue. While preparations
were being made to pour concrete this
week for the first floor forms, pumps
were kept busy removing water from
the engine room of the new hostelry.
News that the delayed shipment of
first floor steel had arrived brought
joy to Jack Struthers, superintendent
of construction. But Saturdays heavy
rain brought CONSERVATION and gloom.
Sunday three feet of water stood IN
the hotel engine room. Pumps worked
all day Sunday and Sunday night re-
moving the water and the task was
not completed until late today.
1t is probable that concrete for the
first floor forms will be poured We'd
nesday or Thursday. The work will
be completed by the end of the week.
Several changes in detailed plans
for the basement and main floor of
the building have delayed work on the
new structure. Transportation trou-
bles have also ipterfered with work
and held up activities when shipments
of steel did not arrive promptly.
superintendent Struthers will begin
use of night shifts on the job as soon
as material shipments warrant an in
crease in the number of men now en-

her big brother. Why shouldn't she
come? We're going to bring her to
Topeka with u.s.
'sAnd chickens?"
Well, the governor-elect didn't
know. Anyway, he showed the wis
dom of a husband and wasn't dis
posed to decide too many home mat
ters. He hadn't discussed the question
with Mrs. Davis and she would prob
ably have the last say on the question.
Mrs. Davis a. the moment had gone
out for ride and was taking a gen.
eral survey of the town that was to
be her home for at least two years.
Does Mrs Davis approve the dec
orations and the general plan of over
hauling the executive mansion?'
The newly elected governor didn't
know. Mrs Davis hadn't surveyed the
improveme ents. Again Davis was eau
tious and guarded. Davis might have
some views about changing the furni-
ture and the plan of hanging pictures
in the governors own office But he
wasn't taking the lead on household
affairs-beyond announcing that the
jury has already brought in a verdict
about the trip which the first lady of
the Davis. stock herd is to make to
Topeka.
Spoke to Labor Unions.
Davis had just returned from
short speech to labor union members
in Labor Hall. He had assured the
men he would throw the power of his
administration behind a program to
put perpetual and everlasting crimp
in the industrial court law.
What will you recommend to the
legislature beyond repeal of the in
dustria1 court law?" was asked.
IT haven't figured out those things"
said Davis. There isn't anything that
care to say now"
And appointments? ?"
Davis surveyed the hotel lobby filled
with hungry party workers.
You know" he said with a wink
and a grin, they're all so happy they
haven't mentioned appointments
