STILL AFTER 7. R..
Missouri PrOgressives Talk of
National 1915 Ticket.
George w. Perkins Takes Slap
at Wilson Policies.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 20.-Two
leaders of the Progressive party-one
In state and one in natiOn-told a con-
ference of Missouri members who
gathered here today that the Progress
slVeS should have d national ticket in
1916. One of the speakers-GeOrge
w. Perkins, chairman of the national
executive cOmmittee-said the only
t1nue its organization and have a ticket
In 1916, While the other-Judge Albert
d. Nortoni, OIL st. Louis,-said he was
in favor of selecting Roosevelt and
Johnson standard bearers for an
other national struggle.
so long as things are as they are
there is only one thing the Progressives
can do, and that they will doom
tlnue their party organization and
have national ticket in the field next
year. said Mr.. Perkins. The nation
al committee of the Republican party
is composed of substantially the same
individuals as it was in 1912 and, what
is more important, these men hold the
same views as in 1912. Can they eX-
pect to attract the Progressive voters
of the country on that basis?
Mr.. Wilson and the Democratic adj
mln1strat1on must carry the burden of
being personally responsible for utterly
discrediting American national honor.
The seed sown in the Wilson Mexican
policy has reaped the LuSitania and
our present complicated foreign rela-
lions. we nave had pretty notes but
the Lusitania demands have not been
satisfied"
Judge Nortoni, who was the Pro-
sressive candidate for governor of
Missouri in 1912, in an address before
the conference said in part:
The opposition persistently as
serts the Progressive party has passed
from the state that many have come
to believe it, 1t is true marked fall
ing off in our vote has appeared, but
this should not be considered serious
ly when it is remembered that the ex-
traordinary showing made in 1912 ex-
ceeded all expectation.
More than 100000 voted our
ticket in 1914-and these men who
are genuine Progressives hold the bal
ance of power to be yielded as they
will in the presidential election of
1916. Recent developments reveal
that the Republican party is now
more completely controlled by the
Bourbon leaders than ever before and
there is no suggestion of a candidate
for the presidency on it's part other
than a Bourbon of the Bourbons.
$50 far as I individually am con-
cerned, I am not in the least dismayed
or discouraged. 1 favor the nomina-
ton of Roosevelt and johnson as our
national ticket in 1916 and state and
tickets throughout the coun-

per of Kansas was held up today
pending action by Wichita officials.
The arrest of Houser took place in
been positively identified by many of
his assailants and is wanted in Topeka
for offenSeS against women and men.
The now famous criminal was identi-
fled by Francis Kiene, son of Sheriff L.
L. Kiene, who asserted that the man
attacked Miss Laura Bailey in Willow
park a few weeks ago.
Under the Kansas law, a death pen
atty for HOuSer because of his crimes
is impossible. In Nebraska, however,
Houser might get the death penalty if
convicted on murder charge.
Judge w. c. Smith, executive clerk
in the governors office, conferred
with Wichita officials today concern
that Houser would be released to Ne
hraska without protest if that state
would reimburse the Kansas town for
its expense in bringing Houser to
Kansas.
There is every probability that
Houser will be delivered to the Ne
braska officials without protest." said
Judge Smith. Should the plans to
release the man to Nebraska fail, the
governor will then announce a formal
hearing on the requisition."
All Right With Shawnee.
w. f. AtchisOn, county attorney of
Shawnee. stated this afternoon that
Shawnee county officials would take
no steps to keep Art Houser in Kan
sas providing Omaha can show q
stronger case against the man. There
is a warrant against Houser here and
it charges that he engineered the
holdup and assault
on January IA. 1914.

In 1886 it was thought that in view
of the large number of German Cath
olics in the city and the increasing
size of the Church of the Assumption,
it would be well to have a church
especially for the German element
and the campaign resulted in the
building of St. Joseph's church.
The first church was built across
the street from the present church on
the corner of Third and Van Buren,
streets. This served until 1904 when
n campaign was started towards rails
ing funds for the present brick build
ing which cost $4,000 and necesSi-
tated an additional levy to finish it.
Decorations which are elaborate
created a bill of $500 and the big
altar caused an expenditure of $4,000.
The altar is ornate and stands thirty
feet above the floor of the church. 1t
is profuseiy covered with statues and
candles and the appearance from the
audience is markedly gothic.
The Very Reverend Francis Henry
has been the only pastor that the
church ever had, and his adminiStra-
ton of % years is record unequaled
in any church in Topeka or Shawnee
county. While Father Henry has an
Irish name, he is of German descent.
The source of greatest pride to the
Germans belonging to the church is
st. Joseph's parochial school, situated
near the church. 1t is believed by
the members of the church that the
training given is of greatest benefit
their sentiment being voiced by the
1915 report of the diocesan school
board:
I'VE want our boys and girls to be-
come not only learned boys and girls
but also good boys and girls. This
necessitateS the teaching of morality
and the training of the conscience
We want a more comprehensive edu-
cation for our children than the state
is empowered to give. Our public
schools are permitted to teach only
the intellect: hence they must pro-
duce a Iop-sided man or woman. We
ask: Why should education be one
sided, and why limited to the knowl-
edge of things here below p +"
In 1907 there were three sisters
teaching and ITO children in attend
ance; today there are five sisters and
296 pupils in school The expenses
of the school are covered mainly by
tuition charges which amounted dur
ing the past year to $2,091. The
school is run economically, the cost
of maintenance and current expenses
for the past year only totalling $1,377.
The teachers are all sisters of charity.

MEMORY OF M'KINLEY
Cornerstone of Building at Niles, Ohio,
Said Today.

Niles, o., Nov. 2O.-In paying trib-
ute to the memory of William Mckln-
Hey at the laying of the corner stone
of the Mckinley Birthplace Memorial
here today, Congressman l.. G. Dyer of
ST. Louis Mo, commandments OF
the United Spanish War Veterans, told
of the unpreparedness of the United
States for the war with Spain, and de-
clared himself pledged to the support
of the movement for increasing the
army and navy.
He declared that the United States
at the present time was, of all the
countries in the world, virtually the
least able to defend itself and its pos
sessions.
Thousands of persons who served in
the Spanish American war lost their
lives, and many who are living TO-DAY
are physically disa bled by disease con-
tracted in that service, because, he SAID
the country was so unprepared for war
that President Mckinley had to call
for volunteers who rushed into the field
without any training or preparation
for the hardShipS that a soldier has to
encounter.
Death Bed Hymn Was Sung.
Niles, O., Nov. 20.-The cornerstone
of the National Mckinley Birthplace
Memorial was laid here at noon today
with ceremonies reminiscent of the
former presidents life. Lead Kindly
Light" the hymn which chung to the
murdered president in his dying mo-
mentS, and the Strauss waltz, 'On the
Beautiful Blue Danube" a favorite of
Mrs McKinley's, were played by the
United States Marine band and James
H. Hoyt, an intimate friend of the
former president, recited personal
"reminiscences At the conclusion of
the program Major Charles B. Han
ford, head of the marine band, de-
claimed THE Star Spangled Banner"
a bit of elocution which Mckinley was
wont to request in his White House
days.
The building itself, when complete
will be a two-story structure of severe
colonial design. thanked by one-story
wings of almost equal length with the
main structure The main portico is
to be supported by six Ionic columns
and the facade of each wing will carry
as many similar supports in sectional
form. The cornice will be plain, and
rectangular doors and windows will
emphasize the straight lines of the de-
sign.
