PHILANrHRoPIsTs WILL HELP

-Government Investigator
Assisting.

Washington. Jan. 13.-Stanley o.
Finch, who has been in charge Of In
Vestigations instituted by the de-
partment of justice inforcing the
white slave law, now is in communi-
cation with a group Of philanthro-
pists formulating plans for a ma
tional movement to reclaim victims
OF the traffic. Mr.. Finch has just
returned from New York, where he
consulted some of the leaders in the
proposed philanthropy and although
he declined to discuss the details
OF the plan, he said no embarrass-
ment for funds was expected. 1t is
understood John d. Rockefeller Jr.
is one of the principal financial sup
porters Of the undertaking.
While men who are convicted UNI
der the law receive adequate pun
ishment. the problem Of caring for
their victims has from the first been
the hardest one with which to cope.
1t is, therefore, the present plan to
expend the income from large per-
manent fund which may amount to
several millions, in maintaining res
cue homes in which girls who are
reclaimed from the underworld may
be given care and instruction pend
ing such time as may be necessary
for them to get a new start in life.
An effort will then be made to
find honorable employment for them
and paternal interest will be taken
in their subsequent careers.

MISSOURI SALOON MEN
HAVE NO RIGHTS in KANSAS
They Cannot Use Streets OF Towns
in This State.

Topeka, Jan. .IS,-A Missouri sa-
loon keeper has mighty few rights
in Kansas, according to the supreme
court. He can't even use the streets
and alleys OF Kansas in hauling his
liquor around for delivery. The
decision making this holding was
rendered Saturday in case brought
by Attorney General John s. Daw-
SON against H. Kirmeyer, a jointist
at Leavenworth county for many
years. When the Kansas officials
were hot on his trail Kirmeyer NOV
ed to Missouri but continued to do
big business In Leavenworth. He
took orders from Kansans by tele-
phone then delivered the goods on
the Kansas side with wagons.
Attorney General Dawson tried
various means of putting a stop Of
Kirmeyer's business, and finally
brought Injunction proceedings to
enjoin him from the use of the
streets and alleys Of Leavenworth.
The Leavenworth county district
court decided against the attorney
general and held that Kirmeyer had
perfect right to use the streets
and alleys in delivering liquor. Daw-
son appealed the case to the SUI
preme court and that court reversed
the lower court 1t is expected that
the case will be appealed to the SUI
preme court of the United States
on the ground that interstate COM
merce has been interfered with in
the enforcement Of the Kansas pro-
hibitory law.

London, Jan. 13.-The British

RESERVATIONS to Rechad Pasha re-
garding the projected departure of
the Turkish delegates, which is
equivalent to a definite rupture of
the peace negotiations for which
Turkey is considered responsible.
In reply Rechad Pasha said he
was not responsible for the suspen-
sion of the work OF the conference
which was decreed by the allies, not
only without asking his opinion, but
without even allowing him to express
It when he begged to do so. He had
waited a whole week, hoping that
reflection would bring the allies to
more reasonable and moderate views,
but as no move had been made on
their part in this direction and no
desire had been manifested to iear
what further rectification Of the
frontier Turkey was prepared to in

tiaries could not remain in London
indefinitely.

whose soldiers have made frequent
sorties from Scutari.
The Balkan military experts here
think that under present conditions
Adrianople can be taken in a few
days by the sacrifice Of 1000 men.
The Greeks are more determined
than ever to hold the Aegean islands,
as well as Saloniki. Regarding Sa-
loniki they say: WAR gave it to US
and only war can take 1t away"
All the responsibility for the
gravity Of the situation is placed by
the allies on Europe. which, they

to conclude an armistice and come
to LOndon--even holding cOntem-
poraneously a conference of the am
bassadors to facilitate matters
finds itself impotent, because of
lack of accord, to adopt measures
compelling Turkey to obey it's will.

PUSHING FRED FUNSTON
FOR CHIEF on STAFF,
Friends Hope to Secure appointment
Through Woodrow Wilson.

Washington. Jan. 14,--Failing to
secure the promotion OF General
Frederick Funston to a major-gen-
eralship, when appointments to that
grade were recently made, friends of
the Kansas soldier have started a
movement to secure for him the posi-
ton OF chief of staff of the army.
Major General Leonard Wood is the
present chief Of staff. but lis de-
tail to that position will terminate
with the present administration.
President-elect Wilson will have
the opportunity to name some other
ranking officer Of the army for this
place. Pressure will be brought to
bear upon Mr.. Wilson in General
Funston's favor for the appoint
ment, II the plans of some of the
admirers of the captor OF Aguinaldo
are carried out. 1t is understood that
an effort will be made in high army
circles to have General Thomas Bar
ry given the assignment but Fun
bton's friends point out that 4the
Kansas man has qualifications that
peculiarly fit him for the position,
virtually that OF head Of the land
forces of the nation. They point
out that the chief of staff has to
do, not only with the regular army.
but with the national guard, and
the volunteers. General Funston
has had experience in all three
branches of the service.
Enthusiastic support Of the move
ment in Funston's behalf is coming
from Colorado. where one Of the
leading papers Of the state is advo-
eating Funston for the place. Many
prominent men in that state, it Is
said, are lending their help to the
movement.

is nearly 300 more than it was at
this time last year. To provide class
rooms and instructors for 800 extra

question as to the sufficiency of the

ture. The college is asking for an
increase of but ten per cent in ap-
preparations over the last budget,

CURTIS AND BRIsTOW
DISCUSS MUNsEY PLAN.

Washington, Jan. 14.--Both Sem
ators Curtis and Bristow were inter-
viewed by Munsey's Washington
Times on the new scheme, Senator
Curtis is credited with having, made
the following statement:
We've got to get together. OF
get out OF it-and the country Will
need us together. There has been
too much personality, too much fac
tionalism, too much bitterness in
this division OF the old Republican
party.
"The real beginning OF the trou-
bles that led to our present plight
was when Deliver was positively
barred from a place on the finance
committee. He had led the fight
for railroad rate legislation of 1906,
and when he wanted the place on IL
nance with the progressives back OF
him It was fatty refused.
"He had earned 1t, was worthy OF
It, ought to have had 1t. It was de-
MED him without any proper rea-
son being assigned. The refusal
started the factional division, which
has been marked by increasing as
perities ever since, until they made
the division that has brought the
Democrats into power.
Concessions, Cancellation, a dis
position to get together and be rea-
sonable and fair, in some such fash
ion as Mr.. Munsey has proposed,
will work wonders before we have
gone very far with Democratic adj
ministration."
Senator Bristow said:
''Put Root over against La Fol-
lette; put Lodge off opposite Cum
mings: contract Ballinger with me
and where are the differences?" he
said. "They are fundamental.
"The one group believes in giving
the people power, authority, hear
ing, in their own affairs; the other
group does not. That is elemental.
