TALKS OF CHARITY.
s.Unwise Refer Increases Paupers
Says Haabert.

@Cnwise relief is ruinous to the peo-
pie and increases the number of pau
pers." asserted l.. A. Halbert, super
intendent of the Public Board of We'll
fare of Kansas City, Mo-, who spoke
Tuesday night before members of the
recently organized Kansas Public
Welfare league at the Central Y. NJ
G. A. Consequently he advocated the
establishment of a public welfare COM
mission in Kansas with the object in
procuring the cooperation of char
liable, correctional, health and labor
organizations in the state in solving
the question of adequately handling
the poor, delinquents and criminals.
I'VE should go more thoroughly in
to sociological bookkeeping, said
Mr.. Halbert. we should keep track
of every person in the community.
The merchant keeps track of every
spool of thread in his store, having an
inventory at least once a. year
The speaker emphasized the neces
sity of careful investigation of all the
socalled charity organizations, because
he said that some of them are simply
defrauding the people, while others
do q really creditable work. A list of
the undesirable institutions of this ma
ture was published in Kansas City,
with the result that they were put out
of business.
AT the present time there is no
clearing house for penal institutions,
said Warden J. *. Codding of the state
penitentiary, who presided over the
meeting, and crime is increasing in
the United States. It is increasing just
the same as the white plague was in
creasing. They used to let the people
get the disease and then try to cure it.
They now try to prevent the dis
ease. Crime is a. moral disease, and
can be prevented. There are 175
more prisoners in the penitentiary
than was the case two years ago."
Representatives from various parts
of Kansas attended the meeting. The
following officers were chosen:
DR.. o. G. Baird, president, Ckanute;
Mrs j. X Codding. vice president,
Lansing; J. E. Marley, secretary, To-
peka; w. w. Mills, treasurer, Topeka;
Rev. Theodore Hanson, superinten-
dent, Chanute; J. K. Codding, general
attorney, Lansing; Mrs. Laura E.
Thorpe, matron, Topeka; Edith Rob
ertson, financial secretary, Lansing.

TO HELP OUT THE POOR
NIillionaire's Ideas to Be Carried Out
by Widow.

Chicago, Feb. Information Of
the Warren Springer colony. an idea
long cherished by the millionaire who
died a short time ago. is to be car
ried out by his widow, Mrs. Marguer-
tie Warren Springer, to whom the en-
tire estate, valued at more than
100000, was left.
A tract of 1000 acres of land. sixty
miles from Chicago, is to be divided
among families of the congested tene-
ment districts of Chicago A social
community for the industrial and edu-
cation betterment of people Tagging
behind in the struggle for existence
is to be formed.
This colony is to be made the nu-
cleus for other settlements. Each
part of the work will be an effort to
bring into effect the ideas Mr..
Springer had regarding the solution of
social problems. He protested always
against city social settlements argu-
ing that the best results could be had
only by taking the poor out of the
city.
The project was originally outlined
by Mr.. Springer and Oscar Lowell
Triggs. former professor at the Uni
versity of Chicago, who was ousted
from the faculty a few years ago be-
cause of his utterances regarding
great financiers. Triggs is now a
member of the Ting1ey colony at Point
Iona, Cal, and may be brought to
Chicago to take charge of the forma-
ton Of the colony, according to Mrs.
Springer.

Washington, Feb. 14.-With six pairs
of shoes studded with diamonds, one
pair set with turquoise, bronze shoes

Muncie, Ind. who for two weeks has

Mrs Anthony is probably the only
woman in the world who keeps her
shoes in a bank vault.
For her visit to New York she has
prepared % evening gownc. rich with
rare laces and studded with gems. She
will not appear on the street twice in
the same gown, for she owns so tailored
suits of expensive cloths. Forty gowns
for mornings and afternoons are in her
trunk, each one carefully wrapped in
tissue paper.
Mrs Anthony has hat to match
each gown including one hat of black
velvet and gold lace that has a thous-
and dollar bird of paradise on it. Other
hats are made Of gold thread and
duchesse lace and are decorated with
rare plumage.
Ermine, lynx, white fox and sable
furs match the gowns and hats. But
unique above all stand out Mrs. An
thongs shoes. One pair is OF cloth of
the heels; another pair of duchesse
lace, even to the heels, upon which dia-
monds sparkle like drops of dew. Slip

City Board of Health Warns
Topeka Railway.
Says Street Cars Are Insani-
tary and Unhealthy.
ARE FUMIGATED EVERY NIGHT
superintendent Patten Says
Equipment Is Clean.
Passengers Must Not Spit in
Window Boxes.

Charging that the Topeka Railway
company is allowing its cars to become
insanitary and unhealthful, the city
board of health has issued an order
to the street car company demanding
that steps be taken at once to clean
all of the cars regularly and fumigate
them at specified times.
In addition to this order the board
Of health declares that the habit of
passengers in expectorating in the win
dow boxes of the cars must stop.
Physicians on the city health board
say that in any car at almost any time
of the day a passenger may be seen
raising up the window box and spit
ting into it. This is practiced by smok-
erS, tobacco cheWers and persons who
are afflicted with disease.
With the liability that spinal menin-
gifts may spread to the city from other
cities and the fact that every form of

time, the board of health has taken
immediate precautions and has issued
a number of new health orders.

Howard Patten, superintendent of
the local street railway company, de-
clared this afternoon that he was
heart and soul with the city board of
health in taking steps to prohibit the
custom of passengers in splitting in the
HAAdOW OOAGSs
I'VE give our conductors strict or
ders to watch all patrons in this re-
spect,' superintendent Patten said.
For years we have tried to stop this
practice. No one realizes more than
we do the insanitary effect of this
nasty habit. We can't lock our win
dow boxes because all the cars would
have to go to the shop as soon as a
warm day came along. It is up to the
patrons to stop it. We will do all we
can to assist the city in enforcing this
rule.
And about the condition of our
cars.
THE Topeka Railway company al
ways has had the reputation of having
the cleanest cars in the country. Every
night after the cars come in to the
barns they are swept and then thor
oughly fumigated with fluid. This
is done every night and not every
once in awhile. Naturally the cars
are dirty before they are ready for the
barns at night-so is a store floor or
a sidewalk or q street dirty after a
days traffic. But we clean them once
a day-and that is more than many
cities do, and more, / believe, than the
city commissioners realize"
The city board of health took the
measures predicted in the State Jour
nal last evening condemning the work
of physicians in Topeka who do not
report diphtheria cases. Many doc
tors call diphtheria 'fmembranous
Group. Hereafter all ''membranous
Group cases will be reported as diph-
liberia.

Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary which
will appear here at the Grand on the
second night of her Topeka engage
ment, is certainly one of the funniest
comedies on the stage, in fact it is a
surprise, SO unexpectedly the incid-
ents unfolding the narrative are pre-
sented with alternating humor and
pathos. May Robson as Aunt Mary
possesses the rare power of express
ing these moods without effort, but
with sincerity. The bits of seriousness
here and there act as a relief from
prolonged laughter. The picture of an
eccentric old lady at an elaborte
dinner is made uproariously funny by
the mistakes, or rather by the lack of
department, and the errors reflect a
pathetic sentiment. 1t is natural in
portrayal, clear and intensely inter-
esting, and Miss Robson is unquestion-
ably a rare exponent of eccentric
comedy. On Thursday night she will

have Birch held here, pending the ar

Justice Jeffries and Mason had a
sharp clash In the court room.
Barney Birch, brother Of the rris-

tician, had secured his brothers re-
lease on $4,000 bail, and fought the
further holding of Birch. He stated
that no efforts had been made to get

police were simply Juggling" Birch.
Mason declared that warrants were
now in Lansing, and Justice Jeffries
gave him an hour TO prove IL. 1t then
developed that the warrants had not
reached Lansing, and Justice Jeffries
nearly discharged Birch, but was later
induced to continue the case until
Saturday.
