BILL IS READY.
Hxu-e ouimiltee Siilmiits the Joint
Statehood .Measure.
"Washington. Jan. 23. Representative
I la Miilton (Mich.) chairman of the house
(onimitiee on trritoi ies. today submit
"d a f avi -ni hi'.' report on the Hamilton
joint a '"hood bill whidi provides for
the admission of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as the state of Oklahoma, and
provides joint statehood for New Mexico
and Arizonia under th? name of Arizona.
Th revolt reviews the bill in detail
explaining that the capital of Arizona is
to be .Santa Fe until 1S15, and
that tno capital of OI Villoma is
to be Guthrie, to rthe same length
of time, when the people can choose
ib.eii- capital sites with justice to all
jiarts of the states. The leport says:
"The committee considers the criti
cisms as ill formed which finds fault
with New Mexico because of its alleged
foreign, population.
"Out of a. population of 195,310 New
Mexico has only IS. 6-5 foreign born in
habitants, a smaller foreign born per
centage than most of the states in the
union.
"New Mexico was made a territory in
lv.o, and ever since that time the people
of that teiritory have been electing their
own legislatures, making their own laws,
conducting their own local government
and contributing revenue to the federal
treasury.
"Were it not that the two-fifths of its
population which are native born but
of Spanish df scent, have been hereto
fore erroneously referred to as foreign,
jt would be an aspeision upon a patriotic
people, even to refer to their loyalty.

As to Arizona.
Of the alleged undervaluation of prop
erty in Arizona for purposes of taxation,
which was warmly discussed in hear
ings, the report says:
"It has a total assessed valuation of tax
able property as shown by the report of
the secretary of the interior of $57,920,371',
but it. is probable that its property is
returned for taxation at a comparative
ly small percentage of its market value
in some instances as indicated by gov
ernment reports, at not over five per
cent, of its actual value."
Concerning taxes in New Mexico, the
report says:
"The assessed valuation of property
within the territory for the year 1905,
was S42.578.73i'. but it is asserted that for
purposes of taxation property is not re
turned at much more than 20 per cent,
of its market value."
The report concludes as follows:
"Inasmuch as congress intended by
the organic act of the territory of Okla
homa, that all of the original Indian
territory, together with what is npw
Beaver county, should become one state
and inasmuch as the present territory
of Oklahoma has for some time been
qualified for statehood which has been
deferred until the Indian Territory
should be ready to be joinel therewith
in statehood and
"Inasmuch as conditions in the In
dian Territory imperatively demand
some better form of government than
now exists there; and
"Inasmuch as Indian lands will beal
lotted in severalty betore the time when
statehood can go into effect, this com
mittee reports in favor of the joining of
the territories of Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory in one state, not however,
before March 4, t07. such state to be
known as the state of Oklaho;na.
"To that end and to the end that the
territories of Arizona and New Mexico
may be joined in one state to be known
as the state oj Arizona, this committee
recommends that the bill do pass."

Will Have Reform in the Repair of
Pavement.
In the new ordinance which will be
framed by City Kncine.er McCabe mid'
Oity Attorney Dienning. a change in
the fcrm of compelling the filling in of,
excavations will be introduced.
"Instead of filling in the excavations
for simply the width of two feet, the
distance which they usually maintain
in excavating in the pavements I am
going to require them to take up aboui
six inches of the pavement and con
crete base on cither side of the exca
vation," said City Kngineer McCabe.
"This will make the pavement bind
better and keep it from settling down
as is usual when the earth underneath
settles. In addition I am gcirg to re
uuiie that excavations must be main
tained a period of two years instead of
one as forrnetly. There are some in
stances in which the season is dry and
the earth does not settle until the fol
lowing year."

Miss Eleanor Wheeler gave a brides
maids' luncheon todav for the girls
who will be in the biidal party of her
sister. Miss Marjorie Wheeler. The ta
ble decorations were in yellow and white,
with a centerpiece of yellow roses. The
candles and shades were of yellow and
at each cover was a white wedding bell
decorated with a spray of orange blos
soms and. a white satin bow, and the
traditional yellow gaiter which brides
maids wear to bring thero luck in love
and a speedy marriage. The invitations
were limited to the young women of the
bridal pai ty.
It is a wordcr to all the other girls
how she manages it but there is one
girl in Topeka who is never without
an "American Beauty man." Only re
cently "off" with an out of town man
who never let her appear at a party
without an armful of American Beau
ties she now has a new admirer, Kan
sas City, lT. S. A., who is continuing to
spoil her in the same way. She gets IS
American Beauties from him every
Sunday, and of course she just hates it
but what can she do?
At Miss Helen Thompson's luncheon
for Miss Marjorie Wheeler yesterday the
rine. thimble and coin indicating re
spectively the first wedding, a future
of single blessedness and great wealth,
were baked in individual heart cakes
instead of in a large bride's cake.
Strange to note Miss Lottie Atchison
of Leavenworth, the most popular girl
who has visited in Toneka in many a
year, who has so many suitors and ad
miiers both in Leavenworth and To
peka that her "Date Book has to be
kept on the Double Entry system." as

New Tork. Jan. 23. A romance
that had its beginning in Buffalo seven
years ago had an abrupt ending when
Mrs. Margaretta F. J. Abukalil, 80
years old, -began suit in the supreme
court against her husband, Gabriel
Abukalil. 30 years old. of the Hotel
Marie Antoinette, to recover $270,000
in property, mortgages, notes and
money which she transferred to him
after their marriage at the Church of
Chrysostom, Seventh avenue and
Thirty-ninth street, on February 4,
1904.
The papers in this remarkable suit
were served on Mr. Abukalil at his
restaurant. 16 Park Place, by Clark
H. Timerman, a lawyer, of Buffalo.
Abukalil, who is known as Kalil.
owns, in addition to the Park Place
restaurant., an eating house at 61
Courtlandt street, and an apartment
house at 46 7 West 14 0th street. It is
alleged he has big bank accounts in
half a dozen institutions in Greater
New York. le is prominent in the
Syrian 'colony.
In her suit Mrs. Abukalil asks for
an accounting of all the moneys she
has advanced to her young husband,
and a lien on two restaurants, to
gether with any other property that
he may possess, which she alleges was
purchased with her money. James
W. Osborne represents Abukalil. He
will immediately file an aswer to the
bill of complaint and the case will
probably come up in the supreme
court early next week.
-Said He Was '-Like a Son."
Abukalil. with two brothers, was
employed in an Oriental goods store in
Buffalo in 1899, when he met Miss
Margaretta Johnson. She was living
with a maiden sister on a aluable
farm at West Seneca, on the outskirts
of Buffalo. When her sister died Miss
Johnson seemerl to turn to new friends
for comfort and sympathy. Abukalil
became a freriuent caller at her home.
When chaffed by friends she would
only reply:
"Why, he is like a son to me."
Miss Johnson applied to the courts
to adopt young Abukalil, but it was
discovered that the law prohibits the
adoption of an adult: About this time
the Lackawanna Steel company decid
ed to establish a great plant at Buffalo.
Miss Johnson sold about fifty acres of
her farm to the company for $156,000
- $81,000 in cash and a mortgage for
$75,000. With a part of this money
Miss Johnson established Abukalil
with the firm of H. A. Meldrum & Co.
of Buffalo.
The Buffalo exposition followed and
the young man prospered. After this
he came to New York to take up
studies in English and fit himself for a
business life. Miss Johnson defrayed
his expenses, it is said. He finished
his studies and she planned a trip to
Palestine with him. his brother Alex
ander and the latter's wife. When
this- fell through matrimony was first
suggested.
Flattery and Cajolery.
In her complaint Mrs. Abukalil
charges that the flattery, cajolery and
steady attention of the ardent young
man finally won her. She charges that
immodiatey after their marriage her
husband began to make demands for
money. She cites a number of notes,
mortgages, etc., that she executed in
his favor, and tells of various largft
sums of money she advanced to him.
She further declares that her husband
has given only $40 to her in the last
six months and that he deserted her in
an apartment at No. 201 West Seventy
eighth street, going to live in luxury
on her money at the Hotel Marie An
toinette. Abukalil, seen bv a reporter in the of
fice of his restaurant No. 16 Park place,
tells a different story.
"It is not true that I have deserted
my wife," he said. "I love her the same
as I did the day, we were married. All
my troubles are due to others. These
people, w horn I took into my confidence,
have betrayed me and entered into a
conspiracy to rob me of my wife and
to get her property."
Abukalil produced a big package of
letters written by his present wife. One
of these, written when Airs. Abukalil
was Miss Johnsorr, spinster, concluded:
"Always your affectionate 'mother.' M.
F. J."
'Dearest One on Eartli.''
Another letter read:
"Oh. you dearest one on earth to me.
Remember always that you have in me
a loving heart which ever beats for your
welfare and whose prayers are daily for
your safety and welfare."
"Now does that look like I took ad
vantageof an old woman'-'" asked the
young benedict with a smile.
"When I refused to go back to Buffalo
Mrs. Abukalil, then Miss Johnson, fol
lowed me to New York. She insisted
that we be married. She has advanced
money to start me in business. I have
not dissipated any of her fortune. She
went to Buffalo on business last Octo
ber and when she returned I was sur
prised to find that she had gone to live
in the family of a man to whom I had
introduced her. The man will not admit
me to the house. I am staying at the
Marie Antoinette because I do not care
to live alone in a big apartment. I gave
her $2,000 several months ago and paid
a bill of $93 for her less than ten days
ago."

MUSIC LET OFF EASILY.
Man Who Killed Chris tictty Pleads
Guilty to MhiisIh lighter.
Henry Music, who murdered Chris
Getty on the night of October 11,
pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the
fourth degree in the district court this
morning. On the night that the mur
der was committed Music was sleep
ing in a joint in North Topeka. where
he had gone to sleep off the effects of
a drunk. -Getty came in later in the
night, and without a word of warning
Music drew a reyolyer from under his
pillow and fired, the bullet striking his
victim in the forehead and producing
nearly instant death. There had been
no quarrel, and the men had been the
best of friends. The act was one of
a mind crazed with drink.
When arrested by the police Music
was so drunk that he could not talk.
In the morning after he had sobered
so that he could talk he denied any
knowledge of the crime and would not
believe for a time that he had killed
his friend.
There are several things which
prompted County Attorney Hungate to
permit Music to plead guilty to man
slaughter. The defendant, who has
been out on bond since the commis
sion of the crime, is a physical and
mental wreck and sufferer from
asthma, and probably will not live to
serve out the sentence which he will
receive on the manslaughter charge.
Another peculiar feature about the
crime is the fact that the only witness
to the murder died several weeks ago.
and if the case had been fought
there was some doubt as to whether
a conviction could have been secured.

WILL BE APPEALED.
Kansas City esro Case to CJo to the
Highest Court.
Balie Wagge; er and Waters & Waters
yesterday filed an application in the su
preme court for a rehearing in the Ma
mie Richardson case. They set up no
new grounds for the reheating, simply
alleging that the colored high school
law passed by the last legislature for
the benefit of Kansas City, is uncon
stitutional, ard that their client, Mamie
Richardson, is being denied the protec
tion of the 11th amendment.
It is of course expected that the mo

simply presented to the court in a for
mal way to complete the preliminaries
for an appeal to the supreme court of
the United States, to which the case wiii
