H. ". M'AFEE DIES FRAUD is CHARGED
POehIer Mercantile Co. Files
Suit Against r. J. Hopkins.
Attorney General Failed To
Obey Court Orders, Is Claim.

Richard J. Hopkins, attorney gem
eral, is charged with fraud and de-
ception as well as violation of the
Kansas statutes in an application filed
in the supreme court for writ of
mandamus to compel him to return
papers illegally taken by him The
suit was filed by the Poehler Mercan-
tile company, which recited thru its
attorney, Thomas Doran, a long list
of alleged irregular acts by the attor-
ney general. 1t is asserted that Hop
kins has failed to obey orders from
the Douglas and Shawnee county dis
trict courts to return the papers.
The paper taken by the attorney
general were to be used by Hopkins
in his prosecution of suits against a
les under the antitrust laws. 1t is
alleged that he called O. B. Cutler
and F. P. Smithmeyer to his office in
the state house and questioned them
regarding their business methods.
During the examination he is alleged
to have excused himself, stepped into
another office and directed issuance
of summonses for clerks of the Poeh-
Ter company and many letters and
records.
Acted without Authority.
1t is claimed that Hopkins acted
without authority under the law and
that he illegally held the documents.
Fraud and deception was practiced in
his methods of securing the records,
it is claimed, and strong arm tao
tics were used to secure the records
without permitting the heads of the
firm TO return to their offices,
1t is also charged that the alleged
subpoenas were not legal and that
clerks and bookkeepers in the firms
employ were summoned and records
secured without due process of law.
Further charges are to the effect that
Hopkins has sought to retain in his
possession certain of the records Sc
cured thru illegal and unfair prac-
ticeS.
Doran uses nine pages of manu-
script to tell of the alleged wrongful.
unlawful and unauthorized acts of the
attorney general in the Poehler case.
He declares that clerks and employees
of the company were "cowed" and in
timidated until they permitted the at
torney general to secure records which
neither the law nor the courts gave
him right to take.
So fragrant was the case that in a.
recent hearing in Lawrence the Doug
las colunty district court only only re-
fused to permit Hopkins to introduce
his records in the Poehler case, but
all books and papers were ordered re-
turned to the firm.

WILSON IN AGAIN
His Dislike for Reed Prompts
Him to Another Letter.
This Time Ex-PreSident Writes
to a Former Governor.
SAYS HE REPUDIATES PARTY
Wilson Is Bitter in Attack on
Senator Reeds Platform.
''MarpIOt'' Is Term He Applies
in Writing Third MissiYe.

st. Louis, Mo, May S.-Ex-Presi-
dent Wilson today again entered ac-
lively in the campaign of Senator
Reed of Missouri, who will run for re-
election at the coming primaries in
the third letter he has written on the
situation since Reed announced he
would again be a candidate.
Senator James Reed is a marplot,
and is a disgrace to the Democratic
party his letter said in effect.
The letter was in reply to one by
Mr.. Stephens in which the former gov
ernor referred to a letter the former
president recently wrote the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, attacking Reed. Mr..
Reed replied to this letter in which he
questioned Mr.. Wilson's memory.
The letter, under date of April 81,
to Mr.. Stephens follows:
MY Dear Governor Stephens:
your letter of Arpil 22nd has graft
fled me. I am glad to be sustained in
my own judgment of Reed by your
own closer knowledge of him and I
shall hope and confidently expect to
see him repudiated by the Democrats
at the primaries. Certainly Missouri
cannot afford to be represented by
such a marpIot and it might check
the enthusiasm of Democrats thruout
the country if their comrades in Mis-
souri, should not redeem the reputa-
ton of the party by substituting for
Reed a man of the true breed of
Democratic principle. I am sure your
own great influence will contribute to
the desired and expected redemption.
please accept assurances of my
entire confidence in the Missouri Dem
ocrats and believe me, with best wish es.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Woodrow Wilson"

Industrial Court To Establish

Testimony viii Be Based on
Award Made Recently.

They Declare.

The Industrial court will begin gem

garding establishment of a final mini
mum wage order for women and girls
in mercantile and industrial employ
ment. Testimony and arguments will
be based on the tentative award made
recently by The labor court. 1t may

Tentative findings were made by
the industrial court several days ago.
1t fixed a wage minimum of S10.50 q
week for girls in mercantile establish
ments and $11 for female employees in
laundries and factories. Employers
will protest the new award on the
grounds that there was no showing OF
unhealthful or immoral conditions
among women workers which justified
change in wage minimums at this
time. Representatives of the employees
will declare that the new agl is in
adequate and virtually makes no
change in schedules in Kansas towns.
Survey Made Last Summer.
Last summer a survey made by the
welfare division of the industrial
court showed that a living wage of
$16.93 a week was necessary. On the
basis of cost reductions Miss Mary
