Postpone Baptist Picnic Be-
cause of Rainy Weather.

It is probable that the tuberculosis
camp just west of Garfield park will
be changed. The city board of health
will discuss the matter when it will
morrow noon. Complaints and a grad
ual conclusion that the site is not the
best are responsible for the proposed
action. The opening of Garfield park
as an amusement place has called at
tertion to the conditions.
The refuse of the camp is emptied
into Soldier creek. The creek winds
around Garfield park, less than Il
quarter of a mile down the stream. In
addition on this creek hundreds of peo-
pie go boating. The boating is the
great feature of the park.
The abandoning of the present site
OF the camp is approved by Mayor J.
b Billiard, DR.. James Stewart, city
physician, and Eugene B. Stotts, city
park commissioner. They have re-
people in the neighborhood and from
Topeka people at large, asking that the
camp be removed.
1.-The site of the camp is too low for
the best effect said Mr.. Stotts this
afternoon. 1T can not be for the best
of the patients or for the people who
patronize Garfield park, or for the peo-
pie of the neighborhood. I am in favor

STRIKE BY
LEGISLATION
Government Steps Into the
English Struggle.

London, March f6-The government
has decided to resort to legislation In
a final effort to terminate the great
coal strike, the conferences between
the miners and their employers,
brought about by the government rep
resentatiyes, having utterly failed.
A statement Issued by the govern
ment says the premier and his col
leagues held separate conferences
with the coal owners and miners. Mr..
Asquith, after detailing at these meet
ings what had occurred at the various
conferences and pointing out that de-
spite all endeavors no agreement had
been reached, indicated to the parties
what the government deemed in the
circumstances to be necessary.
The premier pointed out that the
stoppage Of mining had now lasted
more than q fortnight. 1t had pro-
duced incalcnlable Inconvenience and
loss and In some parts actual suffer
ing.
Mr.. Asquith went or to say that the
government had done all in Its power
to arrive at a settlement by some
agreement between the parties to the
strike, but had come to the conclu-
sion, with great regret, that this was
impossible and that other measures
must therefore be taken.
The premier stated that the govern
ment would ask parliament for a legis-
lative declaration that a reasonable
minimum wage, accompanied by ada-
quate safeguards for the protection of
the employer, should be the statutory
condition of the employment of peo-
pie engaged In work underground In
coal mining.
After hearing the premier's state
ment both parties made suggestions In
regard to the details Of the proposed
measure. The government undertook
to give consideration to these sugges-
lions.
The proposed government bill does
not give hope of an immediate end of
the strike. 1t is understood that 1t will
be introduced on Monday or Tuesday
and rushed through by summary pro
eedure, but the amount Of opposition 1t
will meet Ia uncertain and will depend
upon what 1t contains.

ton to a certain village. 1t so hap
pened that there were eight or ten
colored children playing In the yard,
all resembling one another and bear
ing unmistakable likeness to the old
man. When the desired information
was sought, the colored patriarch
turned to one of the p~ickaninnies
and said: "Here you Judas Iscariot,
come and see what dis gemmen'
done want"
He was asked why he had given
such a name to his son.
"Cause It's a Bible name," replied
the old man.
But suggested the judge, you
could have found lots of names in
the Bible that would be better and
more appropriate for your SON."

The old colored father at least
had the advantage of most of us in
the fact that he read his Bible, al
though he did get the purport some
what twisted.
In the New Illustrated Bible now
being presented by the NEWS on
the educational certificate plan, the
various passages are made plain by
accompanying illustrations that por-
tray the actual meanings of the text.
Such a Bible has never before been
issued. 1t gives to the reader an
entirely new and correct conception
| which is at once interesting and in
~structive. The Bible thus becomes
an educational work of rare value to
young and old alike. It Is just the
book for the family-father, mother,
brother and sister-everybody that
would have a desire to enlighten
himself on everyday topics of con-
versation.
The NEWS Is now presenting
these Bibles for six certificates with
the amount of expense items to de-
fray the cost of distribution, as ex-
planned elsewhere.
Clip the certificate from another
page of this Issue.
