A FIGHT BOBS UP
Revive Scrap Over Federal Con-
troll of Dam Sites.
Conservation Congress Com.
mittee Splits on Shields Bill.


Washington, May 3.-Delegates to
the National Conservation congress to-
day faced a threatened fight over the
question of whether the body will
maintain its opposition to removing
from public ownership undeveloped
water power sites in the country. An
other feature of the day was the re-
port of the forestry committee which
strongly urged the cultivation of for
est by federal, state and even munich
pal government as a national defense
measure.
The majority report of the water
power committee ready for presenta-
ton, recommended endorsement of
the Shields bill, while the minority
report urged condemnation of the
measure. This bill. now pending in
congress, would authorize the secre-
tary of war to permit private interests
to construct dams in navigable streams
and operate power plants for fifty
years. At the expiration of that time
the plants might be purchased by the
government. -.
At it's last meeting three years ago
the Conservation congress became in
volved in similar dispute, which end
ed in a victory for the opponents OF
the proposal that the government give
up it's ownership of the water power
sites. Clifford Pinchot led the win
ming fight at that time.

on display for the benefit of the physi-

In his paper, DR. Walker stated that
| the act of Incorporation of the Kan
sas Medical society was passed by both
branches of the territorial legislature
approved by Governor Medary and a
charter issued. The first meeting was
held at Lawrence.
1t was in 1866 that committee was
appointed to confer with the regents
of the university in regard to the es-
| tablishment of a medical department
However, it was not until 1880 that q
preparatory medical school and the
first class in comparative anatomy
were organized.
It was a member of this first class,

posed of three girls and five boys"

was granted in 1853. The earlier
meetings prior to 1866 are not count
ed in the enumeration, kept by officers
of the society.
1.-The history of any great cause is
centered around some central man or
group of men," said the doctor. THE
men who were the incorporators of
our society in 1859 were men who
came to Kansas, not for pecuniary re-
ward, not for a life of ease, but fired
with a zeal to make Kansas a free
state; they endured and suffered,
toiled and worked till they not only
saw Kansas a free state but nation
wide slavery abolished forever
DR.. Charles Robinson, first governor
of Kansas. was. one of the incorpor-
ators of the society. DR. Thomas Lind

another incorporation. DIR. Lindsay
came to Kansas in 1857, locating in

CHILD LABOR A LOSER
Employer Argues That From Finan-

Indianapolis, Ind, May 3.-The ma
tional child labor committee will par
ticipate in the Centennial Charities
exhibit which will be one of the fea-
lures of the forty-third annual meet
ing of the National Conference of
Charities and Corrections, to be held
in Indianapolis, May 1917, inclusive.
The exhibit will be held in the state
house and the national child labor
committees part will deal mainly with
1.-The High Cost of Child Labor" 1t
is intended not to range the child
employee against the employer, but to
bring the matter to the manufacturers
attention from the angle of it's cost,
rather than the profit, of child labor.
E. NJ. Williams, a large paint manu-
facturer in speaking recently of child
labor, said:
Child labor is not profitable, be-
cause it requires more supervision,
spells more machinery. causes more
accidents. and the child laborer grows
into the least efficient of adult work
ers Early work dulls his brain, and
makes him sunresponsive and unen-
thusiastic. The dollar saved today by
child labor means many lost in the
future. What does society gain from
the dollar coined out of young lives,
which later it must give to care and
maintenance in charitable institutions,
hospitals and reformatories2 ...s 81 f
Each day of the exhibit there will
be drills and music at the state house.
Among the drill teams will be squads
from the Jeffersonville reformatory
and from the school for the blind.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT

Chicago, May 3-WHEAT-Reports con-
firming green bug damage to the Okla
homa crop turned the wheat market up
grade today after a weak opening. In
itial declines were ascribed to improved
weather in the northwest and to the re-
shifting better outlook for spring seeding
Liverpool advices that arrivals were in
adequate and that shipments from India
had been stopped altogether tended also
to lift prices. The opening which ranged
from &c off to 14c up with May at S1145s
to S1.15i and July at $115a4 to S1.161s, were
followed by a moderate upturn all around.
Subsequent reports that price of Mani
toba wheat at Liverpool had undergone a
decline led to a material setback here. The
effect though failed to last. being more
than offset by export sales aggregating
100000 bushels and by assertions that
Hessian fly in Illinois has caused some
blowing up of fields. The close was firm,
5sM%c net higher with May at S1151h and
july at 81 16A G1.167k.
CORN-Corn sagged in sympathy with
the early weakness of wheat. Unlike
wheat, however the corn market showed
no power to- rally except in the May op-
ton which was being purchased by ele-
vator interests. After opening unchan ged
to 1sc down, prices averaged slightly low
er than yesterdays finish
Fair. warmer weather prevented any de-
cided advance. The close was steady, I'M
changed to &c higher.
OATS-Oats eased off owing to the bear
ish action of corn.
PROFESSIONALISM receipts of hogs
than expected led to a decline in provis-
ions.
