Miss Brown came to Kansas City
about three weeks ago and registered
at one of the leading hotels. After sev-
eral days she changed to another. and
as she was without funds she asked
the hotel people To telegraph to her
guardian in Omaha. The answer
from the Omaha man satisfied the hotel
authorities that he had no connection
with her. and she was requested TO
leave.
Yesterday she attended services al
