MORE AID IS GIVEN
wAsHINGTON DEPARTMENTS HELP
 ING THE CONGRESS-.
Department of Interior and Department Of Commerce and Labor 0ffer Val- uable Assistance For Southern
 Commercial Cong--ss.

Secretary James A. Garfield, of the Department of the Interior Secretary oscar Straus, of the Department or Commerce and Labor. Postmaster cen ersl Meyer. and other Federal ofncias, have written Secretary q. GrosvenoT Dave. of the Commercial Club, let tets advising him that if there Is any thing they can do to further the inter ests of the Southern Commercial con gress MT. Dave has but to csH on them and 1t will be attended to at once They say in the letters, which were re- celved Sunday, that any intorma,Ion. n. rnaps. charts or other matter in their departments are at the disposal or MT. Dave and the interests he represents.
 MT. Dave is particularly anxious to obtain charts showing the increased rural free delivery mail routes as these are almost the keynote to the develop ment of the interior districts of the states. As each new section of terri tory is opened up, developed and pop ulated, and the mail service extended there, these charts will shoy year Dy year how the different sections nave increased in value.
 From the Department of the Interior information along this same line VIII he forthcoming and the reports on de- velopment along commercial and indus trial lines and increased values VIII De shown.
 From the Department of Commerce and Labor much valuable information will bc obtained pertaining to immtgra- tion, labor that Is available, and cil- matic and other conditions.
 Altogether Mir. Dave Is very much pleased with this added help which was given by President Roosevelt. When MT. Dave went to Washington few weeks ago to interview the President he wanted the charts and information in the hands of the government iano ofice and the reports concerning the different Southern States, but the added information, which at the time MT. Dawe did not believe would be avail able. is now an extra asset to the great undertaking and will relieve the Exec utive Committee of much labor. allow ing them to further perfect other de- partments Of the congress.
 From every quarter success mas crowned every effort and not singlo helping hand wanted has been with held It is true one publication. in magazine form, which Is supposed to represent Southern development and interests has been steadily intrenchlnR its self in an adverse position to the tn- terests of the South, but as It has long since lost its influence through its err ratio editorial columns and biased re- ports, the stand it has taken has been more of a help than a intolerance. In order to save this publication the mort ification of being left out of the com ing wave of interest in Southern devel- opnnent Mir. Dave wrote It's manage ment explaining the situation; but fe reasons best known to themselves, the infringement of this magazine has re- fused to get in line with the movement that Is rapidly becoming the absorbing topic of those who have the interests of the South at heart.

 and since that time has tried to make the Sunday school more interesting and practical. 7e succeeded so well that his class has grown to about 3O0,000 Baraca men in the world, the movement having already spread to other countries.
 He stated the name came from 6 valley spoken of in Chronicles XIX 26 showing how the children of Judah in the time of ,Jehosaphat had reason to bless the valley. The meaning of the word is '.biessIng," and the spelling was changed from Berachah to Baraca. Mr Tesh told how Mir.

 Mr.. Tesh continued by narrating how the class should have complete organixation, with a corps of officers and committees for membership, relief and social matters. He explained how the lesson ought to be taught, how the reports ought to be given out, and which he was attached and then colided important .pleased with conditions in 4dontgom- ary shown him yesterday by the local officers. He has already visited Bir- minRham, Tuscaloosa, Selma, Hunts vilie, and Mobile and reports satisfac- tory conditions in each city. MT.

COST KENNEY A FINE.
Dickinson County Man Had Grief
at Salina. M

Henry Kenney, farmer living
near Chapman, was fined $40 and
costs in Justice Wagstaff's court.
Sallna last evening pleading guilty to
disturbing the peace Of Carl Mongold
from whom he took an orphan boy,
Elmer Packard IS years old.
Kenney took the boy last summer.
It is alleged that the boy was consid-
erably misused and the friends Of the
late parents took up the matter and
got the Kansas Children's Home So
ciety to take him. He was turned
over to H. A. Jones, superintendent
Of the society, in juvenile court here
by Judge Rankin and was placed with
G. MOngold, near Salina. The boy
got along nicely with Mr.. Mongold,
until Kenney began writing letters TO
him, 1t is said, to get him to live
with him. In October the boy was
going to school and one day Kenney
appeared at the school house and pre-
scented an excuse for the child to leave
school, claiming that he was an old
friend OF the child's parents and
wanted to take the boy for a short
ride. 1t is charged that the excuse
was forged, The teacher knew moth
ing about the situation and allowed
the child to go with Kenney. Kenney
drove back to his home with the boy.
Jones come here, sent an officer after
Kenney but could not find the boy.
But yesterday they got him into
court and Judge Rankin gave the boy
to the society. Sheriff Myers Of SaS
line then arrested Kenney for dis,
turbing the peace in taking the boy
and made him go to Salina with bim,
where he was fined.
A valuable farm belongs to Elmer
and his sister and this probably cuts
some figure In the case.
