DEATH CALLS W. B. WILSON
Prominent Attorney SuccOmbs
to Long Siege of iii Health.

to Long Siege of iii Health.
William Bates Wilson, one of
the best known and most highly
esteemed citizens of Lexington,
died Monday afternoon at five
o'clock at his home, 1922 Frank
lin avenue. For several years
Mr.. Wilson had been in bad
health, but his death was due
directly to a stroke of paralysis
which came last week. After
this stroke he failed rapidly and
his death was not unexpected.
Mr.. Wilson was born March
IA, 1851, at Wheeling, West
Virginia, and at the time of his
death was Ga years old. Like
many other successful men, he
received his early training on
the farm. His main ambition,
however, was for the law. He
came to this city in 1880 and
shortly afterwards was admit
ed to the bar of Lafayette
county.
On June ID, 1883, he was mar
ried at Pleasant Hill, Missouri,
to Miss Medora G. Clancy. He
made the law regarding real es-
tate his speciality and was an au-
thority in this line. He was,
however, we'll informed in all
branches of law and his ability
was acknowledged by his being
elected to two terms as prose-
cutting attorney. He served al
so as city attorney and as city
recorder. In religious activities
too, he was prominent and was a
deacon in the Presbyterian
church of Lexington.
Several years ago, when his
health failed, he was forced to
give up his active law practice
and since then he has not been
able to devote his energies to
business for any length of time.
Still his ability was recognized
and his opinion was frequently
sought on legal matters.
In every way Mr.. Wilson has
always been respected by his
fellow citizens. He has always
been foremost in standing for
honesty and integrity, and he
has always fearlessly upheld his
Christian convictions.
Mr.. Wilson is survived by Mrs.
Wilson, four children = Miss
Agnes, Miss Mary, Donald, and
Clarence-and two brothers, DR..
Charles Wilson and Theodore
Wilson of Kansas City.
The funeral was held Wednes-
day afternoon at 8 o'clock from
the Presbyterian church. Rev.

Song Recital at Central.

Kansas City gave Thursday
night, one of the best recitals
ever heard in Murrell Hall. The
extremely inclement weather
kept many people away, but the
spontaneity of the applause of
those present was really exhil-
arating and the singer respond
ed to the sincere enthusiasm in
a charming manner. Her stage
presence was most pleasing
unaffected and perfectly at ease,
she responded to recalls after
every appearance.
Miss Van Weeks voice is a
mezzo soprano with an appeal
ing quality that is difficult to
describe, but very delightful
to hear. Her range is ample,
her scale well equalized, and in
all technical points she illus
trates well the method of voice
production employed at Central
College.
The program was one that
pleased the ear and at the same
time satisfied the musician. The
difficult numbers were sung
with an ease and sureness that
was comforting to the listner; /;
the breath control was very
adequate and the intonation was
perfectly true throughout the
whole program.
Miss Van Week is probably at
her best, in style, in the more
sustained and quiet numbers,
such as the "Know'st Thou the
Land" though she sang the
the Gavotte from the same
opera with excellent effect.
The program as a whole and
its rendition is a subject for
sincere congratulation for Miss
Van Week and her teacher, Mrs.
Allen, who played the accom-
paniments.

It is not difficult to dress the young
lad correctly, for IN his case, as in
that OF men, few good styles are
given the stamp Of approval early in
the season and dutifulIy followed un-
til its close. Men are less independent
in dress than women. and the boy also
wants to be dressed like his mates.
His desires having been fulfilled in
his regard he is unconscious Of his
clothes once they are acquired.
A sensible outfit for the schoolboy
from eight TO sixteen is shown in the
picture above. It consists of knicker-
bcckers in gray or brown mixture and
a Norfolk coat. These are worn with
a soft percale blouse with soft tarn-
over collar and cuffs and an ineon-
spiouous four-in-hand tie.
The short topcoat is made of heavy
wooden material showing an indis-
tinct plaid. 1t is double-breasted and
finished with large flap pockets, very

CERTlFiCATiNG PLAN
PLEASING TO BRITISH
Would Not. However, Induce Them
to Waive Eight Of Search of
Careoes

London, Jan. 5. Although the for.
eign office regards with high favor
American governments plan of certi-
flying cargoes loaded under the direc
ton of officials of the treasury de-
partment and destined for European
ports it was said today that England
cannot accept such certification al
an absolute guaranty of the nature
of the cargo in case any cause fol
suspicion arises after a vessel leaves
America.
In other words the right of search
cannot be waived, because of the pos
sibility of shifting cargoes at sea and
of the impossibility of having the
treasury officer who issues the certi.
iicate accompany the ship to her des-
tination to guard against smugglers
who may carry copper or other con.
traband on small ships to be trans.
ferred at sea.

TO fall in love with gas. which gives
warm domestic radiance fit to eat

found heaven with kites to catch and
