MAY CHANGE BISHOPS HOME
Visit of Papal Delegate Seen as Fore
shadowing Recommendation.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 26.-The
home of the bishop of the diocese of
Leavenworth may be changed from
Kansas City, Kan, to this city after
Archbishop Falconi, papal delegate to
the United States, makes his visit
here for the conservation of Rev. FIR.
John Ward as bishop of the diocese.
This assertion is ventured by many
prominent Catholics in this city.
And as grounds for saying this
they recall the last visit of a papal
delegate. When Cardinal Satolli came
to Kansas City, Mo-, several years ago
he was invited to Leavenworth. After
he was shown the Catholic institutions
of the city he was asked to recommend
that the name of this diocese be
changed from Kansas City, Kan, to
Leavenworth, its original name. The
change was made.
Now it is thought that probably
Archbishop Falconi would recomm end
the change of the bishops residence.
He will be asked to do so, it is said.

WHY HE SHOT PHILLIPS.
GOldsborOugh Believed Author Had
Used Him as Character in Book.

New York. Jan. 26.-David Graham
Phillips, the novelist, was shot Mon
day by Fitzhugh Go1dsborough because
the latter fancied that Joshua Craig
and Margaret Severance in Phillips's
novel, 1.-THE Fashionable Adventures of
Joshua Craig" were intended for por-
traits of himself and his sister.
The musician and former Harvard
students family has lived many years
in Washington where the scenes of the
novel are laid. A further investiga-
ton of Goldsborough's diary today
left little doubt as to the fancied cause
of the slayer's grievance against the
author. The diary refers frequently to

YOUTHFUL YEGGMEN TAKEN.
Sixteen and Seventeen Year Old Lads
to Be Prosecuted.

to Be Prosecuted.
Wichita, Kan, Jan. 26.-Taken into
custody after a two weeks search for
the robbers who, on the night Of Janu-
airy A, blew open the safe of F. w.
Brown, manager of the Gaar Scott
Thrashing Machine company of this
city, Harry Earl Brown, 16 years old,
confessed to participating in the deed.
Garnett Jones, II years old, a COM
panion of the Brown boy, also was
captured, and confessed to his share of
the crime.
Young Brown left home about six
months ago and had not been heard
of until caught by the local detectives.
He claims to have been in various
parts of the country, and said he ''got
hard up and came back to clean
the old man. The safe was blown
open with nitroglycerin, but the young
robbers secured only few postage
stamps and about 50 in cash.
When notified of his sons arrest
and confession, the boys father stated
that if the statement was true he
would prosecute the lad to the full
extent of the law.
I'm sorry for him, but this is a
chance to give him a lesson he will
have to learn said Brown, who is
prominent and wealthy.

that business has been overdone in

started until there are too many of

BREED I'll EATER.

The programme at the Breed today is exceptionally strong on the western drama, and includes two extra>&ne pie lures, entitled In Frontier Days, and Captain Brands Wife.
 In the latter picture Captain Brands troop is cIdered to Arizona just one week after his marriage to Ada Jack son. Among other people who go is Lieut. Moore a former suitor of Ada's- After being gone some time Captain Brand makes arrangements to have his family come to him. The happy little group is met by the anx- ious husband and the secondary portion for the fort. They are soon seen and overtaken and captured by small band of renegade Indians, and several troopers are killed before the coach can proceed.
 Lieut., Moore, on scouting duty, hears the shots and ruSheS to the rescue. He finds the bodies of the troopers, and under the direction of Adds maid, whom he found lost iR the woods, con- tinues the chase
 In the meantime the Indians have again attacked the coach and killed Captain Brand. and one is about to dash Ada's baby over the cliff when Moore arrives, and, shooting him, saves the babys life, winning for him the gratitude of Ada, and later her love.
 The marvellous riding over mountain and plain in this superb picture is the climax of horsemanship, and thorough ly thrills well as interests every patron.
