Women Fettered By State Laws May Find Freedom There. Topeka— If th ere are women any­ w here in th is broad land who feel th a t th e ir sphere of ac tiv ity is curtailed by the laws o f the sta te s in which they live, K ansas will extend a welcoming hand to them . K ansas prides itself in being ^ ju st to women, and th ere are few jrestrictiv e laws in 'th is state, as compared w ith oth er states. In only a few of the E astern sta te s can wo­ men p ractice law, b ut th ere are more than 60 women in th e activ e practice of law in K ansas today. There are more th an 100 women physicians, not counting th e numerous osteopaths and chiropractors. I t is asserted by no less an au thor­ ity than th e atto rn ey general of K an­ sas, John S. Dawson, th a t no sta te has more liberal provisions than K an­ sas has fo r the women. J u s t notice the things th a t women can do in K an sa s: She may retain h er maiden name when she is m arried. She may persuade her husband to give up his own nam e and tak e her m aiden name. She may retain h er maiden name and her husband reta in his name. She may retain her maiden nam e for business and tak e h er husband’s nam e for social intercourse. She can hold property th a t her hus­ band cannot [touch and may sell it w ithout asking him anything about it. She can hold any elective office, county office o r d istric t office. T here are 80 women holding county elective offices and more than 200 announced candidates for different county elec­ tiv e offices. She can hold any elective office, school d istric t or municipal office. T here is a woman m ayor in Kansas, Mrs. Ella Wilson, of H unnewell, and many school boards are managed by women. She can w ear m en’s trousers if she desires, but she m ust not pretend to be a man. As long as she w ears trousers as a woman, she cannot be arrested. Men are prohibited from w earing dresses in public. K ansas men fully appreciate the wo­ men of the state. This is Bhown by the fac t th a a m ajority of the county superintendents of public instruction are women and th a t a num ber of other positions in the county offices h ereto ­ fore held en tirely by men are being filled successfully by women. Cabinet Votes to Bar All Adulterant o f Food. W ashington, D. C.— By a vote of two to one, the board of cabinet offi­ cers charged w ith the enforcem ent of the pure food law entered a final de­ cision ag ain st the use of saccharine in prepared foods. S ecretary Wilson and Secretary N agel confirmed the de­ cision th a t food containing saccharine was adulterated. Secretary MacVeagh dissented. He thought there was no harm in its use in small quantities. One m onth’s grace will be given m an­ u factu rers to arran g e for the elim ina­ tion. “ The argum ent th a t it may be used in small quantities. ” said Dr. W iley in the b rief subm itted, “ is th e old fam iliar one which adulterators and those who seek to ad u lterate have used from the very beginning of things. If we adm it one injurious substance in small q u an tities, we can­ not w ith any ju stice exclude others. “ The argum ent of small q u an tities absolutely has no ethical, logical or legal foundation, and is m ost danger­ ous. No more dangerous concession to the in terests seeking to debase and ad u lterate and m isbrand food products could be made. I urge the im portance of refusing in any way to condone the use of saccharine in foods.” Fighting Begins Before City By Well Irmeli Forces. Orozco Said to Have Deserted With Entire Command — Americans Retire Across Border, W ashington, D. C.— A telegram re­ ceived by p riv ate persons here from El Paso drew a grave p icture of con­ ditions on th e Mexican border. The telegram said th a t fighting between F ederals and rebels began a t Chihua­ hua C ity a t 11 o’clock Sunday, and th a t many A m ericans w ere in danger. A m ericans in N orthern Mexico are rushing across the border at El Paso and other points, fearin g m assacre by M exicans, despite denials by adm inis­ tratio n officials th a t P resident T aft intends to intervene in Mexico. Feverish ac tiv ity prevailed Sunday in the W ar departm ent, which usually is deserted on th a t day. This activ­ ity, around which a veil of secrecy w as thrown, is believed to mean th a t more troops will soon be moved to the border. ________ El Paso — A telegram saying th a t fighting for the possession of Chihua­ hua City, capital of the Mexican sta te of th a t name, had begun, was followed by the hasty d ep artu re of the rebel garrison a t Ju arez to join th eir com­ rades in th e fight. Two telegram s bearing on the fight w ere received by General Ynez Sala­ zar, the Ju a re z commander, from Braulio H ernandez, one of the rebel leaders in the d istric t about Chihua­ hua. N eith er m essage was as d e ta il­ ed as its recipient could have wished, b ut both w ere sufficient to dispel lan­ guor which has characterized the work of the Ju arez forces, and the detach­ m ent of from 800 to 1,000 men was speedily placed on board th ree sec­ tions of a fre ig h t train. FOOD SAMPLES STARTLE. SCORES BAR ASSOCIATION. Wickersham Protests Ousting of Colored Member. W ashington, D. C.—A decision by the executive com m ittee of the Ameri- can B ar association to oust W illiam H. Lewis, a negro and an assista n t a t­ torney general of the U nited S tates, from m em bership in the bar associa­ tion has aroused A ttorney General W ickersham to the defense of his as­ sistan t. In a spirited le tte r sent to each of the 4,700 mem bers of the association, the attorney general charges the exe­ cutive com m ittee w ith an arrogance of power unw arranted by the body’s constitution, “ in order to g ra tify a race prejudice entertain ed by some of its m em bers.” The attorney general points out th a t Lewis was elected a fte r he had been nominated regularly and invited to join by the secretary of the associa­ tion. "T h e object of the association,” the attorney general continues, “ is stated in the constitution to be ‘advance the science of jurisprudence, promote the adm inistration of justice, uphold the honor of the profession of the law and encourage cordial intercourse among the members of the A merican b a r.’ “ Any person fulfilling certain re­ q u irem en ts,” Mr. W ickersham adds, “ is eligibile for m em bership.” The action of th e executive com­ m ittee, he declares, hardly can be con­ sidered to tend to “ uphold the honor of the profession o f the law and en­ courage cordial intercourse am ong the mem bers of the bar. I t certainly does not tend to promote the adm inis­ tratio n of ju s tic e .” OFFICIAL DIRECTORY CHURCHES. Church of the Visitation, Verboort —Rev. L. A. LeMiller, pastor.
