Major Randolph Barton. one OF
the strongest and most respected
Independents Ia the State, who Is
supporting the amendment. makes
some telling points In an interview
given by him Q few days ago outlln-
ing his position. In part. Major
Barton said:

hurtful condition that enthralls the
people of this State. Many al times

SLATER LEAVES MONDAY
Topeka Man Will Go to Canadian Port
as Consul

Frederick c. Slater newly appointed
United States consul to Sarnia. will leave
Monday. June 2S to take up the duties
of his post. Sarnia, which sounds like a
concoction of McCutcheon, is a Canadian
port across the st. Claire river opposite
Port Huron, Michigan. and fifty-five miles
up the river from Detroit.
Delay in the occupancy of the position
to which Mr.. Slater was appointed May
% has been due to an effort on the part
of former consul to have Skaters appoint
1nent reconsidered. In speaking to a
State Journal reporter today the consul
said:
Il feel fortunate in having secured a
consulate so near to the states though
the government is usually influenced in
their assignments by the affairs and con-
nections of the conSuls. For time I was
little uneasy about my three small chill
dren in the anticipation of a far off sta
ton. For instance, 1 had letter from a
friend who was sent to the island of
Meritas off Madagascar, 900 miles from
New York. You can see why 1 would pre-
fer Sarnia-
1.-THE burden of my work surmise will
be in connection with the immense traffic
of the lakes, where the tonnage is greater
than that on all the ocean vessels making
American shores, though all the duties OF
a consul are present in some degree"
In a trip over the field last week Mr..
Slater made the journey across to New
York and visited Ellis Island to watch
the examination of a cargo of Italians
Most of the immigration from that coun-
try now comes from the earthquake dis
trictS, he says.

AN AUTO FOR THE POPE
Americans Make Him Present of a
$4,000 Car.

Rome. June 23.-An automobile pre-
sented recently to the pope by num-
Der of Americans whose names have
not been revealed has arrived at the
Vatican The pope and several officers
of the. Vatican inspected the car. The
machine was bought in Turin. II is a
handsome Landaulet of thirty horse
power, decorated with the papal coat
of arms, upholstered with white leath-
er, and lighted by electricity. 1t bears
the image of ST. Joseph on the back
seat and richly bound breviary- The
car is said to have cost $4,000.
The pope was annoyed by the gift of
the car. which practically was forced
upon him. Tt is suspected that the gift
hides an advertising scheme. 1t is said
on good authority that the pope never
will use the automobile.

DIR. Frank X. Sanders Delivers the
Opening Address.

The summer Bible institute at Wash

the Carnegie library building, Dean
Frank K. Sanders during the course
a few preliminary remarks. President
Frank r. Sanders during the course
of his address on 1.-THE Religious Value
of the Historical Study of the Bible, -
said:
This is an age of the historical
study of the Bible. More and more
people have desired to study the Bible
from a historical standpoint, turning it
into living literature rather than simply
a record of what has been done in the
past.
1T does not lead US into controversy
with the idea of the inspiration of the
Bible. It is interesting to note that
the Bible did not burst into being but
was growth, Gods revelation of his
purpose was achieved through the relg-
ious education of the Hebrew people.
lone cannot say that any particular
declaration in the Bible is Gods word.
The Scriptures are in truth the record
Of Gods dealings with men,"

Family Held Prisoners IN Debris of
Wrecked Home.

Galveston, Tex. June 23--In remov-
ing cyclone-wrecked house on the
farm of Charles Dilson. in Brown coun-
ty, the wreckers discovered a storm
cellar in which were Dilson and his
wife and 12-year-old daughter more
dead than alive.
For two weeks they had been pris-
loners in the cellar with barely a NOR
sci to eat for week, and nothing to
drink for two days.
Raw potatoes had been their subsist-
ence for six days They will survive.
After the storm which wrecked their
homo, tn three Dilsons were missed and
searehers believed they had deserted
their places and moved away. The
house had been blown over and cover
ed the storm cellar, which was about
20 yards from the home and searchers
knew nothing of the storm cellar. The
prisoners tried to dig their way to the
surface with their hands and succeeded
only in cutting a tunnel which afforded
them air.

UNEXPECTED HAS HAPPENED.
Leavenworth Jointist Is Actually Be.
hind the Bars.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 23.-Wil-
liam Bowman, formerly proprietor of
a resort known as the "Poolhall" at
Richardson, a station south of the
Soldiers home on the Kansas City
Western, has been sentenced to sixty
days in the county jail for contempt
of a liquor injunction, and was de-
cisively refused a parole by William
Dill, judge protein. The refusal of a
parole is out of the ordinary as it has
been the custom to grant a parole on
the payment of fine and costs. The
parole bond has always been fixed
at $500.
Bowman will have to serve two
months and pay a fine of 5000, to-
gether with the costs of the case and
fee of $50 for the prosecuting at
torney. The state was represented by
Lee Bond, county attorney.

dren. who live in the crowded sections
of the city.
