Theis Has Option on WinfieId-Arkan-
sas City Interurban.

Wichita, Kan, June S.-Develop-
ment of a Transkansas interurban
system with Salina as the northern
terminus and Arkansas City as the
southern terminus appeared nearer
TODAY with announcement by George
Theis. jr., president of the Arkansas
Valley Interurban Railway company,
that his company has obtained an
option on the Winfield-Arkansas City
interurban line.
The proposed system would have
Wichita as its center, radiating west
to Hutchinson, north to Salina via
Newton and Mcpherson and south to
Arkansas City via Winfield. The to-
tai mileage would be about 200. The
present A. V. 1. system extends from
Wichita TO Hutchinson with a branch
line to Newton.
President Theis recently announced
leases are about to be executed with
the Missouri Pacific for tracks from
Newton to Mcpherson and with the
Union Pacific from Mcpherson to Sa-
lima. The plan is to have the lines
electrified and trains in operation by
January l. 1928.
Arkansas City. June s.-George
Theis. president of the Arkansas VAL
ley interurban Railway company of
wichita, was here last night to sub
init a proposition to the city commits
sion and business men in the matter
OF taking over the interurban line be-
tween this city and Winfield and the
city lines in both towns.
The road. is now in the hands of
receiver and for some months has
been barely making expenses. The
proposition of Theis, which As to raise
the fare from Arkansas City to Win
field from 35 to IS cents. and the city
fare from to cents and to put on
a gasoline car between the two towns
and two small cars in this city, has
not been accepted, as the meeting
here was simply an informal session
to get an expression from the busi-
ness interests here.
Mr.. Theis stated eventually the line
would be extended to Hutchinson,
probably over the Midland and VAL
ley and Missouri Pacific, and not to
Wichita, as there are two direct steam
railway connections from this city and
Winfield to Wichita, each having sew
eral passenger trains a day.

(Continued from Page One.)

(Continued from Page One.)
 Ex-Senator Futile was for years prosecuting agent in the Twelfth Sem atorial district and was at one time a Federal Indian commissioner in the West. He served as State senator for the Twelfth district in the legislative session of 1915, and prior to that rep resented the same district in the Sen at of 1897. He was three times rep resentative in the General Assembly from East Haven, in 1881, 1883 ana 1891. He is 75 years of age. MT. Post who is a relative of Mrs. Futile, was appointed conservator over the property and person of the Senator several days ago.
 In Political Difficulty.
 Following his term as senator in 1915, MT. Futile got into political diff faculties with members of his party in East Haven and moved to Hartland, Conn.,, where he established a resi- dence on a farm which he owned and later became a candidate for the Re- publican nomination for, representa- tive from that town, but was defeated In the party caucus. More recently he has occupied his home in East Ha- ven and spent his winters in Florida where he owns real estate, and in the West.
 Mrs. Ames' relations with tho former senator came into the lime- light in 1916. when her second hus- band, Louis Wolter. shot and killed aICer to SnOOl Mrs. AmeS, leaving note in which he accused Futile of having inter- tered in his domestic affairs. Tp<tle at the time denied any undue famfl- iarity with Wolters wife. for whom he was counsel, saying that the note was prompted by jealousy. Prior to her marriage to Wolter, the defend- ant in the present suit was married to Frank l.. Ames of Bridgeport. who was found dead of gas poisoning March 14, 1914, and who was declar- ed in a note left by the second hus- band, Wolter, to have committed sut- eide.
 Took Former Name.
 Subsequent to the death of Wolter, Mrs. Ames took the name Of her former husband, by which she is now known. Mrs. Ames came here about eight years ago and in 1918 was ar rested when a squad of police visited her home and took into custody eight men and four women. Mrs. Ames was held in S2,O00 bonds charged with keeping a house of il1-repute, and six of the inmates were charged with improper conduct. Her case was later turned over to the federal au- thorities under the wartime se1ective service act, forbidding the keeping oF a disorderly house within ten miles of Q military reservation.

WANT TO HAVE
 BRIDGE ERECTED
 AT YELLOW POND

A resolution to have a bridge con- structed over Yellow Mill pond from Deacon street to Hallam street may be introduced at the August meeting of the Common Council by Aldermen R. Arthur Brown and Thomas J. Cos tello, Republican and Democrat of the Twelfth and Eleventh districts, re- spectively.
 The bridge has long been talked Of but for more than a year no definite action was taken. Aldermen Brown and Costello are now working on the resolution and plan to have definite action taken one way or the other. Alderman Brown speaking of the pro tect today stated that the bridge will fill a long felt want and will give a direct connection with the upper East Side.
 If the resolution is not put before the next meeting of the council it will, without fail be placed before the September meeting of the council. Alderman Brown said today that the bridge has the support of both Re publican and Democratic aldermen. It also has the support of residents in the east end.
 The resolution will be worded to have a committee appointed by the mayor to consider plans of the pro posed bridge. Alderman Brown Is now conducting an investigation in the city's financial standing to see if there will be money enough left for a bond issue.
