After Long Litigation.
The old silk farm in Franklin coun-
ty, Kan, known as the De Boissiere
Odd Fellows home, which was the
cause of much litigation, has been

ty, Kan, with philanthropic and bust
ness intentions. He erected silk fac
tory eighteen miles from Ottawa.
which In time came to be known as
Silkville. De Boissiere raised silk
worms on 300 acre farm and man
ufactured silk and satin ribbons.
The silk industry in Kansas was a
failure. and, becoming discouraged. De
Boissiere returned to France. aban-
doning Silkville and the silk business,
He willed the property to an associate,
Mr.. Sears, and on Mr. Sears death
to his children Finally. however. he
decided to give the SiIkville farm to
the grand lodge of Odd Fellows to be
converted into school and asylum
for the orphan children of members.
At a session of the grand lodge in
1894 the gift was repudiated, after
which james Troutman of Topeka
went to France and bought the prop.
erty from the De Roissiere heirs.
When the purchase was made the
trustees of the grand lodge refused to
surrender the property. Thirteen law
suits covering period of sixteen years
followed. and the supreme court Of
Kansas finally awarded the property
TO Troutman.

fries licked.

NEW YORK. July SO.-That the NOV
ing picture men. who are reported 70
have put half a million dollars for the
Jeffries-Johnson moving pictures, may
not even break even" is conviction
that is growing among theatrical men
here.
When the pictures were first put on
the moving picture people declared the
admission price would have 70 be 81. be-
cause Of the tremendous outlay in OBJ
tanning them The films were quietly
placed on exhibition in half a dozen
New York and Brooklyn theaters-
There were no riots; neither were
there any nobs at the door clamorirg
Tor admission Now the price has drop
ped to 30 cents, and sim the expected
crowds are missing
Theatrical men profess to believe that
the fact that Johnson won over the
white man has practically killed the
demand for the pictures. Had the re-
suit been the other way, they say, the
theaters could not have held the crowds.
