FORGET "HONOR THY FATHER"
SO Says Kansas Hospital Chief In
His Report of Young People of
That State.

Topeka, Kan.-"Honor thy father
and thy mother" is a forgotten doc
trine in Kansas, declared DR.. T. G
Biddle, superintendent of the Topeka
hospital for the insane, in his biennial
report to the state board Of control
DR.. Biddle caustically arraigns the
young people of the state for their in
difference toward the old. After re
porting a marked increase Of senile de
mentia since his last report, DR.. Biddle
says:
at appears that among Kansas
young people honor thy father and thy
mother has become an antiquated
dogma"
DR.. Biddle declares most OF the
cases of senile dementia are turned
over to the state because children dc
not care to look after their afflicted
parents. They are willing to pay the
state for keeping them, but will not dc
the work themselves. The people are
harmless. simply having a breakdown
because of age.

A successful trial run was made re-
Gently from Paris to London, about
$40 miles, by a motor ear driven by

The vehicle, which was designed by
NJ Bertrand de Lesseps, and is called

attached the propeller-or revolving
wing-invented by NJ. Filippi
The wing is small, strong and thick
and revolves within a protecting cage.
The engine is of 40 horse power and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission.
There rs no other mechanism, the
wheels OF the car being free, except
for footbrales. BY the side Of the
driver is single lever which con-
trolls the clutch and the forward and
reverse movement of the wing. The
wing can be reversed at a moments
notice, thereby forming an additional
brake. Ia the trial runs a speed OF
62 miles an hour was obtained with
2.100 revolutions of the wing a min
ute. One curious feature was that the
ear made no dust.

The old general was borne across

SCOTTy OF DEATH
VALLEY IS FAKER
Reckless "Spendthrift' AID.
mits He Never Had Mine
Just an Advertiser.
National News Association

LOS ANGELES, July 12.-Walter
Scott, "the Death Valley Mystery
admitted that for seven years he had
been the scapegoat of mining promo
tiers.
The ambuscade in Wingate Pass,
the big rolls of money, the supposed.
ly fabulous expenditures for pleasure,
the periodic and meteoric bursts of
"Scotty" all were pretenses.
The confession was made in the
presence of G. Ray Horton, chief dep
uty district attorney, and Samuel L.
Browne, head of the bureau of crimi-
nal investigation.
What "Scotty' told these officials
he will, according to his promise, re-
late to the grand jury, which will in,
quire into his part in a recent transac-
ton between himself and officers OF
the Death Valley Scotty Gold Mining
and Development Company whereby
he was represented as receiving from
them $4,000 for his mines in the Pan.
amint Range.
Never Had A Mine.
He was committed to the county Jail
for contempt of court in not having
satisfied a $1,000 doctor bill, the judge
taking the ground that "Scotty," hav-
ing received $25, 900 on June 1, should
have had at least $1,000 two weeks
later But "Scotty" was "broke."
Scotty's confession contained this
other bit of interesting history:
He never located a mine, either in
the Papamine Range, the Funeral
Mountains or anywhere else; he never
owned mine, was not a miner; his
only role was to make the big splurge
to advertise himself as the spectacu
lar and unbridaled spendthrift while
all the time cunning schemers were
formulating plans upon which they
should. profit by this show
Gigantic Roll Was Padded.
And all "Scotty" got, he says, was
an amount of money that could not
be dignif1ed by loftier title than a
"handout." Scotty said the most he
ever had at one time was $4,000 and
that the yellow complexioned roll he
carried was upholstered with 81 bills
Regarding the recent deal between
the Death Valley Scotty Mining and
Development Company and "Scotty,'
Secretary F. C. Goodin of the com
pany reiterated his previous declara
ton as to the payment to "Scotty."
"Mr. Scott was paid the $4,000 and
II have the receipt for it," declared
Goodin. "As to who supplied the mon
ey that information must remain a
secret; the gentleman insists that his
name shall not be made known"
