Vernon and Reba Louis young friends.

kins and Reba Lou Burnett, dressed
in white and wearing badges of green
and white, received the young guests
in the parlor, which was beautifully
arranged, being draped in white and
green, which hung from each wall and
formed a beautiful rosette, which hung
over each light. Pretty bouquets were
placed here and there in each room.
1t was very pleasant affair. Mr..

way, placed themselves back to child
hosi days and mingled with the young
guests as if they were children.
Pretty music was furnished by Miss
Wagnon and Mr.. and Mrs. Bright

place at the piano, accompanied by
Mrs. Brightman on the violin. Re

CHILD is NOT PROPERTY
A New York Judge Rules il is Ward
of State.

New York Especially. - Judge
Bischoff, in the Supreme Court, made
clear the status of child whose par
ents have been divorced. Mrs. Alice
II. Snead, who obtained a divorce
from Albert c. Snead, applied to have
the decree as to the custody of her
six-year-old girl, Ruth, modified, so
as to give the mother the sole Gus
tody. Mrs. Snead is now Mrs. j.
Morris, and her first husband has
also remarked.
The mother now asserts that the
father taught the child to call her
mother Mrs. Morris, and in other
ways tried to ALLEVIATE her affections.
Counsel for the father denied this.
THE child is the property of
neither parent" Judge Bischoff de-
clared ''She is the ward of the
state. To influence me to modify this
decree you must show me wherein
the temporal or moral welfare of the
child will be benefited"
The court reserved decision.

KNEW WHO BLEW UP MAINE.
Francis Atwater Says He Sent the
Facts To Government.

Meriden, Conn. Especially Form
er State Senator Francis Atwater, of
this city, who was publishing a news
paper at Havana, Cuba, at the time
the Maine was blown up, commenting
on the statement of Captain Brady at
Kansas City to the effect that the
ship had been blown up from the
outside and that the government
knew the details of the happening
years ago, affirmed the story.
Mr.. Atwater says he sent a cable
gram to this country on November 4,
1899, telling of Zalvado's destruc-
ton of the warship and his accom-
plices, the information, according to
Mr.. Atwater, having been given him
by detective, who told him also that
Zalvado had been poisoned and that
one of his accomplices stood ready to
confess the full details of the plot.
At that time all the information
obtainable, said Mr. Atwater. was
sent to the then Secretary of War,
but while the letter was acknowl
edged. no further notice was taken of
it so far as Mr.. Atwater knew.

FOR THE RED CROSS
A 100000 FUND
President Taft Names Special
Committees TO Act.
FOR ANSWERING EMERGENCY CALLS
The General Committee VIII Consist
OF Endowment subcommittee In
Every Large City To Have Charge
OF the Campaign For Raising That
City's Portion or the Endowment
Fund.

Washington, d. C. Especially -
President Taft announced the ap.
pointment of a special committee of
eminent men in all parts of the coun-
try who are to undertake the raising
of a $2,O00,0O0 endowment fund for
the American National Bed Cross So
ciety. The chairman will be Frank
lin MacVeagh. Secretary of the
Treasury. while Charles u. Norton,
private secretary of the President,
will be the vice-chairman.
The general committee will consist
of endowment subcommittees in
every large city, to have charge of
the campaign for raising that city's
portion of the endowment fund.
The Red Cross Society now has no
real endowment, and it is considered
very desirable that there should be
permanent fund of not less than
S2,000,O00, which may be so invested
as to net an income of 100000 or
$120,0 900 annually for use by the So
ciety. The principal is not to be
touched, only the income being used.
This is the second movement of
the kind in which the President has
taken an active interest. He indors-
ed heartily the plan to raise $4,000
600 for the extension of the work of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion in foreign lands.
The Red Cross endowment fund, If
raised and invested, will place the
work of that organization on a sub
stantial basis. The society in the
past has been called upon suddenly
in emergencies and generally has had
TO issue a call for funds. BY having
a large reserve fund the society will
be in position to do much more ef-
fective work on the spur of the mo-
ment when the call for help is made.
Many prominent financiers, business
and professional men, besides jurists
aud civic leaders, are to be placed
upon the committees, and 1t is be-
lieved that little difficulty will be ex-
perienced in raising the fund when
the purpose for which 1t is to be
used is understood throughout the
country.

BROKEN NECK NO GAR
Football Collegan Hopes to Get in
the Game Again.

Richmond, Ind. Especially AL
though his neck was broken 13 days
ago in the game between Cincinnati
University and Barlham, Kenneth
Brooks is back at his studies in Earl
ham College without having his neck
in sling, and he wants to play foot
ball again. But he is prevented from
doing so this fall by strict orders
from his physician, who told him,
however, that he could get back on
the gridiron next fall.
When Brooks was carried off the
field after making a hard tackle in
which he was bent back, the X-ray
showed that one of the cervical verte-
brae was out of Joint, but not far
enough to press upon the spine. His
neck only had to be kept in a sling
a few days until the dislocated and
reset part should grow stronger.

D. S. GOVERNMENT
TO TAKE A HAND
Gen. Valladares Will Have TO
Vacate Amapala.
OPEN DEFIANCE OF PRESIDENT DAvIlA
Outlaw Commandant OF the Island
or Amapala, the Pacific Port. or
Honduras - American Gunboat
Princeton Lying on the Place
Fort Closed and the Island In a
State OF Siege-Gen. Valladares
Hates Americans.

Tecucigalpa, Honduras (Special)
Gen. Jose Valladares, the outlaw
eommandant of the Island of ANA
pala, the Pacific port of Honduras,
still holds the western entrance to
the republic. He has assumed a
come and take me" attitude. The
American gunboat Princeton lies of
the town of Amapala, and Comman-
der Hayes will likely take steps to
prevent further trouble
General Valladares, whose impla-
cable hatred of Americans led him in
to offenses against foreigners general
ly, has long held undisputed sway on
Amapala, which, being the site of the
customhouse, now affords him an ex-
cellent strategic position. At the
solicitation of foreign interests Presi-
dent Davila, who has had reason to
have wholesome respect for the
Generals fighting abilities, recently
persuaded Valladares to come to the
capital, and exacted a promise that
he would surrender his Office as COM
mander of the Amapala garrison.
The President thereupon appointed
Gen. CaliXto Carias as commandant
Of Amapala.
On Tuesday Valladares returned to
Amapala, ostensibly to transfer his
command to his successor, and to
pick up his belongings, with the idea
OF leaving the island permanently.
However, the General was no soon
er back on his old stamping ground
than he took command of the garri-
son of the fort, and announced his
rebellion against the government of
Honduras.
President Davila subsequently
called upon him to surrender. Val
ladares promptly, and emphatically
refused, and apparently is preparing
for hostilities from whatever source
they may develop.
The Honduran government has
very small army, and, as Valladares
has several hundred armed followers
and is reported to have several mod
ern machine guns, it is thought that
President Davila will ask the assist
ance of this government in it's efforts
to get rid of the trouble-maker of
Amapala.
Noted for his hatred of foreigners,
Valladares recently publicly announc-
ed that he had named his dog Taft"
In order to show his contempt for the
American government
