Complaint of Poor Attention t,
Child From Father.
Blind and Feeble Minded
Woman Is Helpless.
MARRIAGE WAS IN NNSHIP
Matrimonial Bonds Then Set
Aside in Court.
No State Institution Can Open
Its Doors.

Eight years ago, on the grounds that
without knowledge of their kinship
they had intermarried the matrimon-
ial bonds binding Phebe NJ. Aoles and
William H. Ables were set aside by the
judge of the Shawnee county district
court, according to the records. AS a
result of this kinship union a child had
been born blind and feeble minded. At
the time the divorce decree was is
sued this child was a young woman
nineteen years old and unable to see or
take care of herself. There was not
then, nor is there now any hope that
she will ever improve. The court at
that time granted all the property to
the father, consisting of eighty acres
of land. and in doing so used the fol-
lowing words in his decree:
That the said defendant is decreed
to be the owner of the above described
property, both real and personal: that
the said defendant has the care and
custody of said child and there is here
by imposed upon him the duty to nur-
ture, support and maintain said child
during her natural life to the best of
his ability
Both the father and mother have re-
marrier- That the father is failing to
give proper support to his feeble-mind-
ed child is the complaint made to coun-
ty officials today. The mother. al
though willing to give all care and at
tent1on that might be needed is not
able to do more than take the girl to
her home once or twice a week battle
her and mend her clothes. Other duties
equally pressing prevent her doing
more. The need of a bed and bed
clothes was urged upon the county of
ficerS TODAY
That the father, who was awarded all
the property with the order and under
standing that he should care for his
child, has disposed of the property
awarded him by the court is shown by
the records of the register of deeds
On Feb. p, 1911, he sold the eighty
acres in question for s4,320. 1t was
mortgaged for s1,732, so he received
otter paying the mortgage 50, 532. Just
a month later. or March 81, 1911, he
purchased twelve lots on Pennsylvania
avenue in Highland Park. with i'm
provements, paying 81, 400 for the same,
and this he still owns and in so far as
can be learned from the county records
this property is free from debt
In addition to this property, Ables is
said to receive good pension from the
government. How to compel him to
comply with the courts decree and
support his daughter ito the best of his
ability, and who should start such
an action, are questions which have
not yet been solved. The case is COM
pl1cated because the daughter is no
longer a minor
Inc girl, or rather woman, for she is
now twenty-seven years old, can not
be admitted to the state school for the
blind, because she is too old, and she
can not be placed in a state institution
for feeble minded because she is blind.

WIRELESS PICTURES.
A New Invention Valuable in Com
merce and War.

Vallejo, Cal, Sept. 20.-A local in
ventor has evolved a wireless photo
graphic instrument which works only
at night and reflects on a mirror, it is
said, a picture of everything within
radius of several miles. He has been
invited by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels to take the machine to Wash
ington for inspection by experts of the
navy department.
The instrument received its impress
sions from a web of wires attached to
a tall mast. For this reason it is
adaptable to ships, making impos-
sible, it's inventor claims, night col
lisions, accidents due to fogs and run
ming afoul of icebergs. 1t would be
valua BILE, too. it is claimed. for army
use as the movements of an enemy at
night could be easily followed.
A test was made recently of the in
strument here. The night was dark
but observers say they saw reflected
on the machines mirror a picture of
the district for a distance of two miles;
saw the shipping in the vicinity of
Mare Island navy yards, railway trains
passing up and down the valley and
persons on the streets. of the city.
The inventor formerly was wire
less expert in the governments en-
pillow.

MATTER OF REVENUE.
Money Now Chief Point of Contention
on Tariff Bill.

Washington, Sept. 20.-A critical
study of the Underwood-Si Simmons tar
iff bill to determine whether it will pro-
duce enough revenue for governmental
needs was still under way today when
the tariff conference committee re-
sumed work. Reductions by the senate
have in many instances been opposed
by the house confereeS on the ground
that they would cut the revenues be-
yond the margin of safety.
Chairman Simmons of the senate
conferees has announced the bill would
nation. Some of the more important
disputes, however. are on articles on
which house members fear reduction of
rates will mean too much loss of reve-
nue.. There was little prospect when
the conference was resumed today that
details of the bill could be completed
before the end of next week.
Supporters of the demand for free
importation of works of art expressed
great satisfaction today over the deci-
sion of the conference committee to
remove all restrictions against free inn
portation. Under the present law pic
lures and like art objects must be 20
years old to come in free. The house
bill removed the restriction, but the
senate increased it's rigorous character
by placing the age limit at so years.
Under the new agreement all reStric-
tons will be removed except that dis
cretionary power will be left with the
secretary of the treasury to determine
the value of importations as works
of art"

NARROW and DULL,
Profit Taking Scales Down Prices in
Wall Street Market.

New York, Sept. 2O.-Contrasted
with the striking display of strength
by stocks in the days just preceding,
this weeks market was narrow and
dull. Heavy profit taking at the be-

recent advance, and fluctuations
thereafter were wavering. On neither

timent appeared to be confused as 10

Stiffening of money rates operated
as direct check to increased specu-
lative activity. Both time and call
loans were higher and the practical
difficulty in the way of financing an
extended bull movement tended to
restrict efforts to carry further the
vigorous bidding up of prices of last
week.

SOPHS WON FIGHT.
Freshmen OutcIassed in Annual Wash
burn Scrap.

For the first time in several years
the sophomores won the class scrap at
Washburn field Friday afternoon by
the score of so to SO.
Ten sacks filed with straw and sand
were placed in the middle of the foot
ball field about ten yards apart, the
freshmen We're at one end and the
sophomore bunch was at the other. AT
the crack of the pistol everyone ran
down the field and on to the sacks. 1t
was then that the real scrap began.
On some of the sacks there were three
men and on others there were six or
eight. The participants were almost
anything they could get their hands on
and a freshman could not tell a fresh
man from a soph and vice versa.
1t made it more difficult when the
rain came down in sheets but it did
not affect the scrap in the least One
would care no less for getting his face
covered with mud than to lose a part
of his garment. When the two classes
lined up it was readily seen that each
and every one wore old clothes and
not much of them. When they went

A motorcycle wedding which proved
a great surprise to guests at a St.

in khaki riding suits, appeared at the
hotel and inquired where to find a
license clerk. The curious guests
who were expecting to see the couple
married in their riding costumes were
much surprised when a handsomely

BLUE BIRD DIP.
Animal Dances Are Giving Place to
the Bird Variety.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Bird dances
such as the "Ornis Dip" originated by
Miss Eleanor Wilson at Cornish,
promise to be the fashion here this
winter. Miss Katherine Britton and
Miss Margaret Britton, who have re-
turned here for the season, are dane
ing the blue Bird Dip" named after
the favorite pet of Miss Margaret
Britton. One of the peculiaritieS OF
this new dance is that If one of the
men dancers fancies the partner of
another man he can stop in the mid
die of the dance, leave his partner and
take the other mans and both the
deserted man and maid have to look
pleased. This exchange, however, has
to take place during the dip and at no
other time of the dance.
This new dance is a variation of the
old two-step and is danced as follows:
Two-step four counts and then dip
forward in a Hopping way as a blue
bird would flap his wings, twirl twice
on the tips of the toes and repeat.
