ODD FELLOWS TO BUILD
The Lodges Are Voting This Week on
State Building Plan.

The 5000 Odd Fellows in Kansas
are voting this week and will vote
next week on the proposition to erect
a $4,000 state grand lodge building.
The grand lodge, which met last Oc-
tober in Independence, passed reso-
luton proposing that the six hundred
lodges in the Sunflower state vote on
an assessment of 10 cents per capita.
The building will not be commenced
for ten years.
A business building, to contain all
the departments of the organization,
state offices and state library, has
been under consideration for a cou-
pie of years. If the lodges decide to
build, the location will be selected in
the next twelve months.
There are 1900 Odd Fellows in To-
peka, who are expecting to push the
idea of locating the grand lodge at
the state capital. Wichita is also
carrying on a vigorous campaign.
Most of the larger Kansas cities will
attempt to secure state headquarters
John G.. Muse of Hutchinson is grand
master of the Kansas Odd Fellows;
S. T. Mallard of Topeka is deputy
grand master.

TURN A DEAF EAR BRISTOW IN RIGHT
Kansas Senator's Stand Proved
by Big Deficit.
Loss VIII Total Millions in
Twelve Months.

Washington, May Ex-senator Bris-
tow's fight on the "hours of service
section of the postoff1ce appropriation
bill of last year was generally regarded
by his colleagues in the senate as hav-
ing been justified when a bill provid-
ing an appropriation of 100000 to
make up a deficiency in the operation
of the postoff1ce department was pre-
sented in the senate this week.
The postoffice appropriation bill OF
last year contained a provision to the
effect that the eight hour day for post
office clerks should hereafter be con-
strued as eight hours service within
ten. Senator Bristow fought this pro-
vision, maintaining that it would not
tighten the work of the clerks or car
riers and that it would result in in
creased expense to the government be-
cause of the fact that many clerks
and carriers would be compelled to
work overtime for which they received
additional pay. Senator Bristow's fight
was unavailing, and the provision
stayed in the bill.
This week when the postal defi-
cheney appropriation bill was present
questions developed the fact that
100000 of the appropriation asked
for had been made necessary by over
time pay of clerks and carriers on ac-
count of the eight hours within ten
provision of last years appropriation
bill. The senator called the attention
of his colleagues, who seemed to ac-
quieSce in his view to the fact that at
the same rate there will be a defi-
cheney by the end of the year of $3,-
10000 on account of this item alone.

JOHNSON is DEAD.
Legislator From Riley County Unable
to Serve in 1918 Session.

Randolph. Kan, May 23.-Victor E.
Johnson, state representative from this
county and president of the Randolph
State bank, died at his home in Ran
dolph last night. He was As years old.
Representative Johnson was elected
to the legislature last fall as Repub-
lican. Yet the Riley county man
never served a day during the 1913
session. Shortly before the session
opened, he was confined to his home
because of sickness and on the open
ing day of the session was excused for
the term by unanimous consent OF the
house members.
The Randolph man was well known
in the Fifth district and was popular
among the bankers of the state. He
had for several years been president
of the Randolph State bank. Last fall
he was elected to the legislature for the
first time. 1t was the first time he had
sought public office, although he had
for a number of years taken an active
part in the political affairs Of the Fifth
district.

CONGRESS TOO BUSY.
No Time for Flood Legislation, Say
Marshall and Clark.

Washington, May 23.-Congress is too
busy with tariff and currency reform
to plan for new department of public
works in the opinion of Speaker Clark
and Vice President Marshall to whom
the educational committee of the ma
tional drainage congress appealed IT,
day. Both officials expressed sympathy
however with the desire of the drama ge
advocates for greater federal attention
to reclamation and flood control.
Members of the committee will now
undertake to draft a bill for the es-
tablishment of the new department, in
the hope that the attention of congress
can be secured if a detailed plan is laid
before it.

FOUND BILLY bob?
Body of Missing Lawrence Boy in Kaw
Below Lawrence.

Lawrence. Kan, May 23.-A body
believed to be that of BILLY Bob At
kinson, the 5 year old Lawrence boy
whose disappearance a week ago set
hundreds of Lawrence citizens and
students of the University of Kansas
searching the countryside, was
found by fisherman in the Kaw
river IL miles below Lawrence today.
The body was taken to Eudora, near
which place the fisherman found it.
The coroner and the boys father
went Immediately to Eudora to bring
the body home. Billy Bob, because of
his sunny disposition and endearing
childish ways, was a favorite among
students and townspeople of Law
renee. So that when he started out
from home one afternoon on his tri-
cycle and did not come home again
the alarm was general. The tricycle.
was found near the Kaw river front
here.
A great expanse of the river was
dragged without result. Word was
sent about the country to search the
wagons of moving parties on the the
ory that "Billy Bob had been kid
naped. The search was given up sew
eral days ago upon the belief that the
boy had tumbled into the river and
been carried away by the current.

He Says.

Washington, May 23.-Uncle Joe Cam

back in his old haunts as jaunty as

Mr.. Mann was Mr.. Cannon's floor lieu

Nebraska,

Lincoln, Nebraska, May 23.-
Walter Ballew, negro, charged
with assault on Mrs. Keller Of
Falls City, is in the penitentiary. He
was brought here at 1870 o'clock this
morning by Sheriff Aldrich of Falls
City and special Deputy Chas. Lyons
of Horton, Kansas The trip was made
by automobile from Hiawatha to Hor-
ton, Kan, and by Rock Island train
from that place to Lincoln. Sheriff
Aldrich said he purposed to keep Bal
lew in the penitentiary indefinitely be-

the negro, the penitentiary was select
