with the exception OF the night before
the mothers arrival. at the hotel--with
perfectly reputable family on the
South Side.
Sarah wanted 10 so home and was
preparing TO do so But the meeting
with the mother tangled matters. The
mother did not want Kittie 20 go--the
daughter did. Victor Smith was opposed
to Kitty's separation from him. He
had rival in Warrington. and did not
wish TO have his girl so back there.
Then there were thepolice possibilities.
Hence away the trio went from the
meeting with the mother. Why did the
daughter leave her MOTHER Well,
mother is an honest woman. Christian
woman. but she doesn't quite under
stand her daughters ambition, She
has no Regents certificate. She has
been too busy nreadwinning for the
household and keeping the daughter in
school. Her horizon was smaller than
was her daughters.
The tro jumped on Benwood car
he It'd not give the eolored man any
thing. Then at Benwood they trans
ferred to the Moundsville car. Smith
was getting beyond his mental depth
got off at any Old place. II happened
to be Glendale. He left the girls there
at honest John Criswells, and hasten
ed to Warrington for cash and help.
He saw Joe Kuhn and suggested TO MIN
the flight west--the indefinite west,
with the girls. Kuhn kept his
own counsel. came down with
him, located the girls, notified Humane
officer Echols, who. | had seen in the
Register. was looking for him. and as
they had, in the absence of Smith at
Warrington. left Crismell's and gone
down to the hotel at Moundsville, Kuhn
assisted officer Echols in locating them.
The girls had purchased tickets for
Marietta. where they intended to get
work of some kind.
Smith was released about s o'clock
last night on payment of 81 costs, as
Oficer Echols had, on careful investi-
CATION of the case, reached the conciu-
sion that no serious wrong had been
done to either of the girls. Smith vol
unfairly sent SIS to Mrs. Murphy to help
her out on expenses.
Sarah left for the old home at Eli
cottville with her mother at O'Clock
this morning, and there is not shadow
of doubt in the mind of Officer Echols
or others who have infinitely investi-
gated and studied the case, that she
returns to her come as pure girl as
when she left It, She said frankly to
the Registers representative yesterday,
at the Home of the Friendless;
Il. like lots of other foolish girls
| thought it would be better away; but
am going back home with my mother
I expect they may, some Of them, speak
i'll of me, but must bear that for my
feolishness. | have the consciousness
of my own innocence of any wrong to
sustain me.

ma. telegraphed. after our queer re-
ception, to her: May we come home?
and her answer was, Come first

Kitty Flynn will either return home
or go to live for time with the good
sisters near Wheeling. Much has been
said in Warrington detrimental to her,
but not one of those who have spoken
Ill of her has any other proof than
they say So to sustain these rumors.

Lottery winners like Miss Beals who drew
second prize at Lawton, would not, it is argued,
think of pre.emptng land under the ordinary
operation Of the homestead system. Certainly it
would be impossible to fancy "homesteader"
of that sort engaging in one of the old fashioned
rushes for quarter section. But, on the other
hand, one American citizen has, theoretically, as
much right as another to claim share ir the
domain the government releases for individual
entry, and the purpose of such claimant TO sell
his land, after fulfilling the requirements of the
Homestead law, in no way concerns the a.thori-
ties charged with etfecting the distribution of
titles.
1t is also suggested that the lottery plan, by
drawing to centres like Ell Reno and I.awton
vast number of claimants certain to be doomed to
disappointment, burdens the new territory with
an army of stranded "squatters," whose presence
qualities the full possession by actual tit lie holders
of the lands they have drawn 1t nav be that
some of the new land owners will have to appeal
to the territorial courts for protection against
squatters. But this condition is by no means
novel one in newly opened territory. 1t has
occurred before, and will occur under any system
of entry. 1t will be six months, perhaps, before
the workings of the new method can be fully and
fairly judged. So far, however, it seems to mark
a distinct advance in the administration of the
Homestead act-an advance for which due
credit should be given the Secretary of the
Interior, who encouraged and sanctioned the lot
terry experiment.

THE OKLAND LAND LOTTERY

NIOW that the drawing for homesteads in
' the kiowa and COmanche reservation
have been brought to an orderly conclusion, the
Interior Department can Justly congratulate itself
ON the results of the ingenious and novel scheme
devised for opening this new portion of the
public domain to entry and settlement 1t was
the purpose of the department in discarding the
old "devil take the hlndmost" rush for choice
allotments for the new "wheel of fortune"
method of assignments to end the disorders and
violence which had marked the past struggles of
land hungry "boomers" and "sooners" for
coveted sites in freshly opened territory
Certainly, whatever minor disturbances have
been reported from Ell Reno and I.awton, there
has been no repetition in the Kiowa and
Comanche reservations of the scenes of brutality
and lawlessness which marred the race twelve
years ago into the older parts of Oklahoma.
Friction and disappointment were inevitable
under any plan of, alIotting titles in the new
territory; for with a list of applicants running
up toward the one hundred thousand mark, the
proportion of prizes to blanks to be drawn was
cruelty discouraglng. But evidence has yet to
be brought that the lottery plan put in practice
by the Federal Land Office did not on the whole
offer creditable ard satisfactory solution of the
allotment problem. " '
Some complaint has been made that dstribu-
ton by lottery encourages the filing of claims by
spectators who have no idea of making bona
ide homestead settlement but who hope to sell
their titles subsequently to less fortunate
participants in the wheel of fortune scramble

already been made to throw some light on the
subject. Several of them are mentioned by Dr.
Howard. Right on Staten Island, not long ago,
local country club is said to have stopped the
breeding of the culex for single season by using
petroleum. The same ageut was tried with
equal success at Summit, n. j. on woodland
pools and swamps. Similar stories come from
Long Island, Bridgeport, Conn.,, and even PLACES
as far off as Palo Alto, Call and Sierra Leone,
West Africa.
Already it is evident that the virtues of the
system have their limits. A crusade of Tn
kind Is more successful where the water stands
IN inland ponds than in salt sea marshes
Again, eternal vigilance is the price of freedom
from this pest. 1t is necessary to renew the
treatment every few weeks Fresh rains may
form pools in new places. Mosquitoes are often
imported, too, from comparatively distant places
by railway trains or borne by brisk winds from
neghbortng towns. Still, they are rarely found
far from their birthplace. They are not such
travellers as birds. Once destroy the larvae by
filling up the ponds or coating them with oil,
and there is reasonable chance of immunity for
weeks at time A generation of adults soon
dies OUT
The benefit of these isolated attempts is tenn
porary. Yet the recorded results are encourag-
ing. What is most needed now is an attack all
along the line. 1t is not necessary that the
work be conducted by the medical authorities.
If local clubs presidents were organized in every
town and village in Southeastern New York,
Connecticut and New Jersey which has suffered
from the pest, and campaigns like DIR. Doty's
were undertaken simultaneously, the resultcould
hardly fail to be most gratifying. The problem
is more serious in some localities than III Others
In few it is hopeless, perhaps. But there is
reason to believe that by far the greater part of
the territory here outlined might be practically
freed from the mosquito IN single year by con-
certed effort. ....... ,.. ..
