DEAD MAN IS HER SON.
Mother of Bank Robber Identifies
Him From Description.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct 15.-Mrs Will
Harris has admitted that the man who
killed himself Wednesday after robbing
bank in Highland Park. ILL.,, was in
all probability her son, Lamar Harris,
former attorney OF this city.
Mrs. Harris based her conclusion en-
the description of the dead robber tele-
graphed by the Chicago police. This
description mentioned the scars under
the chin and shattered the mothers
last hope. These scars were made from
a surgical operation during childhood.
Harris's mother and his young wife
are Frustrated.
Mrs. Harris made this statement:
I'm face of all the evidence and what
are apparently positive proofs, the fam
lily is forced to relinquish all hopes that
1T is other than my unfortunate son
who committed suicide in Chicago
consider that Lamar died in reality
long before he ran away from this city
and that which is dead in Chicago is a
mere shell of my boy and what was
once a brilliant, noble, manly man.
'-Of the terrible victories that alcohol
has won over mankind this is perhaps
the most pitiful and awful of them ALL"
Harris was a graduate of the Univer-
eral years ago, he became associated
A. Harris. The young man built up a
practice that yielded an income of
$4,000. 1t was this he surrendered
with all family ties to enter upon the
pursuit of stage beauties and the career
of joy rides and wine suppers that
brought the spectacular climax of

f1cation OF the work The caravan

A booklet gotten out by the local
temple containing the program for the
ceremonial has some happy advice to
the novices. Some of the observations
are:
A dress suit would be appropriate
for the occasion. However, if you have
outgrown it come anyway.
If the recorder should ask you for the
name and address of your spiritual ad-
wiser do not think him impertinent.
Remember there is an eternal fitness
of things.
Don't be grouchy and complain. Re-
member this sacrifice is made for your
benef1t-you are paying for it and you
are entitled to all you can get.
If you have long expectancy of life
don't trif1e with it on this occasion. Do
as you are told and hang on to the
rope.
A profusion of thanks is not expected
We acknowledge in advance that the
pleasure will be all ours.
Don't worry about who discovered
the North Pole. When this pilgrimage
is over and you are one of us you will
discover that there is no need of a
pole; a rope will be sufficient.

TO WOMEN
WHO SUFFER
This Missouri Lady Speaks from
the Experience of One Who
Has Been Made Well

1t has been said that seven-tenths Of
the women of this country suffer from
their peculiar troubles, endure distress
that make the lives of many of them
miserable and almost uncomfortable. To
such sufferers it will be blessing to
know that there is a remedy exactly
suited to their ills, blood-making nc
that will restore the functions to their
regular activity without which there
can be no permanent good health.
A strong recommendation of this tonic
treatment is the cure of Mrs. Alice

Kansas City. Mo-, of a severe case of
weakness. She says:
81 suffered for several years with
weakness following the birth of my

When a person finds himself suffer
ing from chronic indigestion, there is
lust one of two things to do: Discon-

or obtain something that will digest
the food for you until your stomach
muscles are in working order again.
It is possible to obtain remedy that

many reputable people to prove it. Since

quaint lantern at the end of long
pole, squad of Japanese marines from

Soon afterwards a landing party

ALARM BUT NO BURGLAR
New Electric Burglar Alarm Is In
stalled in State Savings Bank.

The gong on the north side of the
State Savings bank building began a
lively jingle yesterday morning and all
eyes in the vicinity Of the corner OF
Sixth and Kansas avenues turned to
the bank building expecting burglar,
masked and armed to the teeth, to
emerge from the bank with a gunny-
sack full of legal tender. Not SO, how
ever. A big blue coated police officer
explained to the eager crowd that 1t
was only a test of the new equipment
being installed in the State Savings
Bank
Three years ago we installed the
present burglar alarm system for the
protection of the banks funds and Sc
curities,'' said William Macferran, pres
ident of the State Savings Bank, when
State Journal reporter questioned
him about the alarm, land it consists
of large electric gongs inside the vault
and on the outside of the building con-
nected by electric currents generated
inside the vault and also inside the box
containing the big bell outside. This
system makes it impossible for burg
lar to cut the current without ringing
both gongs. The American Bank Pro-
lection Co. has now improved upon its
device. The outside bell box has been
doubled in size and contains separate
electric batteries, furnishing a separate
and distinct electric current aside from
that within the vault. This added pro-
lection means that if the wires are cut
which lead to the bell it rings imme
diately because of the break in the
circuit. The continuous alarm has been
sounded by the current from the bat
terry in the outside bell box. If the
battery or wires in the bell box are dis
turbed the alarm is sounded by the
battery in it. If the vault doors or lin
ings are disturbed the alarm is sounded
by the batteries in the vault. This is a
great Improvement over the old equip
ment. We believe our protection now
is perfect. 1t is the policy of the State
Savings Bank to furnish every known
protection to it's depositors. Its large
arc lights burn all night The Bank
has never regretted the money expend-
ed in either of these ways"
1t is unnecessary to go away from
Topeka to see the most intricate and
interesting device in use for the pro-
lection of money. The banks officials
will be most happy to show this clever
machinery to any one interested in such
things.

unwittingly may find itself in the
vanguard of the suffragette movement
next Monday when the name of
Johanna Engleman of Santa Monica is
called in the superior court as the
first woman Juror ever summoned in
California. Mrs. Engleman is the
widow of the captain of an Alaskan
vessel She is a tax payer. Her name
in some way got into the jury box and
recently was drawn.
Mrs. Engleman is not a woman
suffragist. She says she feels
qualified to act as a juror. She is
quoted as saying that she could not
send a man to prison for stealing
loaf of bread and would probably
hesitate about voting to hang a man.

CARE OF CHILDREN.
Orphans Home at Atchison EnIarges
Scope of Its Work.

All crippled children who do not
require hospital or surgical aid. who
are in this condition between the
ages of and IA. and who are not able
to be taken care of financially, will be
offered free treatment by the state in
the new department of the Atchison
Orphans home which has just been
opened.
The cripples who need hospital or
surgical attention must be sent to pri-
vate hospitals over the state to which
the state gives aid. In the past the
state only has taken children at the
Atchison home who were sound in
mind and body A sickly or defective
child no matter what his circum-
stances, could not be taken in. The
board of control thought if it were
proper to look after healthy children
it would also be humane and proper
to look after crippled children also,
and upon the suggestion of the legis-
lature, established a crippled chill
dren's department and furnished
money to build a home for them.
