toned from each department will be

LEACH FOR GOVERNOR
Former Topeka Newspaper Man a
Candidate in Oklahoma.

Jesse S. Leach, former Topeka
newspaper man and now editor and
owner of the Bartlesville Daily En-
terprise, at Bartlesville, Okla, is be-
ing doomed for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor of his adopted
state. He is considered a likely candi-
date for the job and a move has been
started in eastern Oklahoma toward
making his nomination an assured
fact
Leach was for many years a news
paper man in Topeka. He was CORE
spondent for the Kansas City Star. the
Kansas City Post and several other
papers at different times. As a Wash
burn football player in the time of
his flamboyant youth Leach was
prominent.
Ten years ago he left sunny Kansas
and went to Bartlesvflle, seeing a flu
ture in the Oklahoma town. He
bought the tiny Daily Enterprise, now
developed into a large newspaper. Re
Gently with two other men he got a
block of leases in the heart of the
Vera pool and he and his partners
stand to clear about a million dollars
from oil. Two of their four wells are
doing better than 200 barrels of oil
each a day.

NOTED SCULPTOR DEAD
Gas Jet in Studio Found Open
Mourned Over Belgiun's Fate.

Paris, Jan. 10.-The Italian animal
sculptor Rembrandt Bugatti was
found unconscious yesterday in his
studio in Rue Joseph-Bara. A physi-
clan said the sculptor was suffering
from gas poisoning. A gas jet in the
studio was turned on Bugatti was
taken to Laennec hospital, where he
died.
Bugatti, regarded as one of the fore
most living sculptors, was represented
by works in most of the galleries of
Europe. When the war opened he was
modelling animals at the geological
gardens, Antwerp. He gave up this
and devoted himself to assisting the
Belgian ambulance corps. When Ant
werp was evacuated he went to Ho1-
land and thence to Italy, but as his
class was not modified he came to
Paris.
OF late months the war seemed to
have affected the sculptor profoundly.
He was depressed by the sufferings
of the Belgians, for whom he had
great admiration. He frequently
pointed to the ribbon of the Legion of
Honor in his buttonhole and said:
Belgian soldier
Signor Bugatti gave up some time
ago his work in the specially which
won his fame, saying:
This is not the time to make ami
mails
He devoted himself entirely to a
new Interpretation of Christ. This
work, now at the foundry, is his last.

Lawsuits Against County.
In the looted and fireswept portion
of East Youngstown, third of which
is in ruins, gangs of Workmen were
today clearing away debris under di-
rection of city officials. Some of the
property owners were preparing suits
against the county, which is liable to
the extent of $4,000 in each case of
damage from looting.
Over 200 men were held in county
and city jails and both the courthouse
and fire department were pressed into
service as bull rings. Some prisoners
will oe prosecuted for rioting, some
for carrying concealed weapons and
some for larceny. All of the arrested
men are foreign born and unnatural

President J. A. Campbell, of the

POVERTY is GREAT

Continued from page one.)
Reno-other larger counties of the
state-has adopted provisions of this
measure. Wyandotte county has al
lowed So pensions.
General aid for poor by Kansas
counties aside from state aid, county
farms city and local charities-cost
$453,803.2S. according to the report
Expense of the county farms amount
ed to s124,696.75 for the twelve
months period. In the counties where
the mothers pension law has been OBJ
form law is $2,423.50 a month, or
$29,08O year.
Few Are Chosen.
OF the 772 women who have applied
for aid under the mothers pension law
since it became operative July /, aid
has been extended to but FAT under
the terms of the new law. These are
the figures from the counties in which
the law is observed.
In several counties where provisions
of the mothers pension law have not
been placed in operation, investigating
committees have been appointed by
the county commissioners. Several of
these counties will come under the
new law this month. All of which will
doubtless mean that the expense for
care of the states poor will show a.
big increase this year over the twelve
months just ended.
Reports from the various counties
show some heavy tax levies for the
support of the poor. In Ottawa coun-
ty, a levy of one per cent on the as
sessed valuation of the county is made
for county aid of the poor.
Nine counties in the state reported
an annual expense in excess of $4,000
for the care of the poor. Sedgwick
county's expense was nearly three
times as great as that of any other
county in the state. In one year that
county spent S69,09552 for the care
of the poor. Shawnee county was sec
ond with an expense of $23,87S.14,
while Leavenworth reported an ex-
pense of $22,529.72; Montgomery,
$21, 652.92; Wyandotte. S2O-O34 as:
Wilson. SIS, o3O.60; Bourbon, s11.

GUST CAUSES OF WAR
Organization Meets Today-Wants an
International Grade Flag"

Boston, Jan. 1o.-Under the auspices
of the Society to Eliminate Economic
Causes of War, of which Roger w.
Babson is secretary, conference was
to begin here today to promote more
uniform legislation in the various ma
lions for the advancement of peace
and commerce. Economic conditions
believed to be at the bottom of the
European war, will be discussed. The
delegates believe these conditions must
be recognized before satisfactory
peace terms can be made.
The delegates believe that each ma
ton must cease 1egislating solely for
its own interests and permit other ma
lions to have voice in its treatment
of shipping, tariffs, immigration and
the like At the closing session Mon
day, the use of an international trade
flag, to bear the same relation to COM
merce that the Red Cross flag bears
to hospital work, will be considered
Roger Sherman Hoar, ex-assistant at
torney general, and Walter Wood of
Philadelphia, are to speak.

refused to grant mothers pensions.
These counties are: Allen, Anderson,
Barber, Brown, Chase, Cha utauqua,
Coffey, Cowley, Doniphan, Douglas,
Edwards, Elk, Ford, Franklin. Ora
ham, Jackson, Jewell, Leavenworth,
Lincoln. Logan, Lyon, Meade, Miami,
Usage Osborne, Phillips, Pottawato-
mic, Reno, Rocks, Russell, Saline,
Shawnee, Sheridan, Sherman, Trego,
and Wilson. Included in this list is
len White, one of the most ardent
champions of the mothers pension
law.
Statements received by Senator
Howe from several counties where the
law is not observed, indicate that
while the 1915 measure is not OPP
posed, no provision has yet been made
for the money to meet the extra ex-
pense. In a number of the counties
the expense for charity work is heavy
and the levy for this purpose is now
near the limit. Other counties have
provided for mothers pension aid in
their levies for this year and will
grant pensions as soon as money is
available
General Aid Granted.
One of the startling facts in the
Howe report is the showing that but
PAT persons have benefited under the
mothers pension law, while the
counties have granted aid to a total of
12,S71 persons. General aid has been
given to a total of 11,716 persons,
cared for sos poor.
1.-The amount of aid allowed the
poor of Kansas is an enormous sum, "
said Senator Howe today. zone would
have hardly supposed that we are
spending more than three-fifths of a
million dollars a year for the care of
the poor-independent of state, and
municipal aid and through local chart
ties. In the main, though 1 believe the
money is given to worthy persons.
yet. I am fearful of one thing.
Probably less than half of the sum
given relieved the cause. It merely
helped the prevailing needs. A SINH
lar sum must be paid this year, while
it seems the money should in some
way go toward permanent aid. Instead
of temporarily assisting these per-
sons, there should be some manner of
permanently aiding the charges of the
state.
'"The question of aid for the poor
seems unsolved and the expense is
growing without permanent better
ment of conditions. The mothers pen
sion will give relief to many needy
persons. But it will not effect cure
of the evil in all cases"
Senator Howe's report is the first
definite showing of the expense of
counties for the aid of the poor. 1t is
a valuable document for persons in
tereSted in welfare work and another
insight into the problem of where the
money goes" The report is compiled
from official statements received from
1O1 of the los counties of the state.
Greeley, Scott, Wallace and Wichita
all small counties in the extreme west
ern portion of the state-did not re-
port. Their statements will affect but
little the showing for the state as con-
tanned in the Howe report.
