gates from clubs, in cities from 1000 to

ed same representation as clubs.
Should your club Organtza ton fail
to act on this call, and you feel an in
terest in the federation work, come to the
convention and you will be invited to
take part in the work.

work to be taken up at the convention,
other contemplated legislation for the
betterment of the commercial interests of
the state will receive proper considera-
ton.
Agriculture, the foundation stone CT
Kansas prosperity, must be considered
in our deliberations; and to that end and

lions VIII be represented on the different

One Wanderer Who Was No migrate
When Flames Ragged.


Norristown, Pa, Jan. Alexander
Lynch, Go years old, lost his life here
while trying to extinguish a fire in the
barn of Jacob White. Lynch came
here several weeks ago from College
vile, where he had worked for years
for DR.. Roger Having no home, he
was given permission to take up quar-
ters in the barn. While he was expert
menting with an oil stove there was an
explosion, and the next instant the Sec
ond story of the barn was in a blaze.
Lynch had a chance to escape from
the burning structure; but, after run
ming to the door and calling for help,
he returned and fought the flames.
Then he was overcome by the dense
smoke, and when the firemen arrived
his body was discovered.
The firemen had trouble in securing
a supply of water. owing to the in
tense cold, and the flames were ex-
tinguiShed With snow.

INQUEST IS RESUMED.
Will Go to Wabaunsee County
to Complete 1t.

The inquest over the bodies of the
victims of the Willard wreck was re-
opened in ToDeka at o'clock this af-
ternoon. 1t had been postponed from
10 am until after dinner for lack of
witnesses. The coroner's inquiry viii
not be COMPLETED at Topeka. A few
witnesses will be examined here TODAY,
but not all have responded to their
Subpoenas. Coroner G. r. Silverthorn
of Wabaunsee county has been in con-
siderable doubt about the propriety of
holding any inquest in Shawnee coun-
ty at all. and finally at 2:30 o'clock to-
day announced his intention of cutting
the Topeka part of his investigations
as short as possible.
I'VE want to have everything regu-
lar" said he. "I don't think we ought
to be holding an inquest here at all
but under the circumstances we can't
avoid it. One or two of our witnesses
are in the hospital here and we will
examine them. The rest will have to
go to Maple Hill tomorrow
Coroner Silverthorne was reticent
about giving out the names of those
who had been subpoenaed but stated
that only the eight trainmen who had
actually been in the wreck had been
summoned. No one from the Office of
train dispatcher had been ordered to
be present. Engineer Benjamin went
to his home in Kansas City Wednesday
night and did not return today. Con-
ductor Maggie of the passenger train is
in the hospital here. brakeman Nor
rill and Conductor Fletcher of the
stock train are also understood to be
in town.
These were the three witnesses with
whom the inquest began tody. AS far
as can be seen no very active effort has
been made on the part of Coroner Sill
verthorne to get the witnesses together.
The jury has spent its time idling about
town while Coroner Silverthorne and
his deputy, J. N. Dolley, have been oc-
cupied in waiting for witnesses and
helping with the idc LITIGATION of some
of the bodies. All the property taken
from the bodies is in possession of the
coroner. The bodies will be left here
to be claimed by the friends, several of
whom have been here today The bodies
of Mrs. Harville and two children, and
those of Mrs. Susan Reed and two
daughters. have not been claimed.
