SCANDAL AT ORPHAN HOME
Employe at Atehison Institution
Charged With Using Red Pepper
to Punish Children.

Charges that children at the Or
phans' home at Atchison are punished
by having red pepper placed in their
mouths and elsewhere about their
persons; that they are made to sit
upon hot radiators until they are
burned, and that they are forced to
drink copious quantities of castor oil
and salts, have been made to Cover
nor Capper and the state board of
control An investigation will begin
shortly. /.
One of the women employees has
been suspended by Superintendent
Willis. A supervisor of the boys also
is charged with cruelty to the chill
dren, 1t is said the charges have been
made by Miss Wilma Scruggs, who
was formerly family officer at the
home. She resigned her position to
go elsewhere. Miss Scruggs appeared
before Governor Capper and, she also
addressed the Good Government Club
at Topeka,
II do not know that the young wo-
man accused is guilty Of any of the
practices alleged" said Superinten
dent Willis, land l hope l have not
done her an injustice in suspending
her. There has been some gossip at
the home that she was not as con
siderate of the children as she might
have been, but | have never secured
conclusive evidence against her.
when + returned to the 'horne as
superintendent this last time, wat
told the children we're often punished
by giving them doses of castor oil ant
salts. | Immediately issued written
order that children must not be pun
ished without my permission, and Il
this order has been disobeyed it will
be disclosed in the investigator. Some
of the Children are spanked occasional
/ ly and whenever that is done it is will
my permission, and keep a record
of It,"

What 10 Coming?

Mr.. r. G. Wells is more interested
30 he tells us In his latest book, "What
Is Coming2" in the tomorrow than in
the today. The past he regards sim
ply as material for future guessing.
Remembering his many successful
forecasts Of previous years, this latest
volume, in which he deals with social
conditions after the war, is possessed
Of great significance. How are people
going to make up the waste Of the
worlds resources, the killing Of a
large majority Of the men in nearly
every Buropeon country, universal loss
and unhappiness7 What, in short, is
in store for the next generation?

SAVES MONEY FOR FARMERS
Prison Board at Recent Meeting Fixed
New Schedule of Prices for
Binding Irvine.

Through the foresight of the state
prison officials in anticipating a rise
in the sisal market the farmers of
Kansas will be saved $4,000 on Irvine
purchased from the prison plant.
Some time ago the prison board fore
saw sharp advance in the sisal hemp
and laid in a supply. At that time
the price was S7,35 per hundred. To-
day it is $1O.35. The farmers are to
be given the benefit of the difference
in prices.
The prison board, at a recent meet
ing fixed the price Of prison Irvine to
dealers and chartered farmers organi-
cations in carload lots at 1925 per
hundred, {. o. b. Lansing. In local
shipments the price will be $3.50 per
hundred. In individual shipments ii
will be $40 per hundred. The board
fixed November l as the date of set
Elements.
These prices are l cent a'pound 'un-
der the trust" prices in Kansas and
2 cents a pound under the trust
prices in adjoining states. The trust
sells Irvine in Kansas cheaper than it
does in neighboring states on account
of the stiff competition of the Kansas
prison plant. The prison plant has
100000 pounds of Irvine on hand.
I'VE felt that 1t is best not to take
advantage of the rise in sisal," said
Warden Codding. 1.-THE state could
make big profit and still keep under
the trust prices but we consider it a
wise policy to sell as cheaply as pos
sible, only charging enough to pay
for the maintenance and deterioration
of the prison plant"

THE BIRD OF PARADISE"

Heartily welcome Is the return
ing of Richard Walton Tullys ex-
otically colorful play of Hawaiian
life. THE Bird of Paradise" which
comes to the Salt Lake theatre, for
an engagement of one week, begin
ming with New Years matinee.
"The Bird of Paradise" stands out
in the memory amongst the play Of
half dozen seasons as something
eminently different, story of hui
man love and degeneration poignant
ly touching. and set amidst a tropi-
cal scenery and tropical customs as
novel as they are glowingly pictur-
esque.
The tragic love story. with its
vivid portrayal of the life OF the
Hawaiian people, is quite familiar
to theatre-goers. A young American
Paul Wilson, visits the island and
meets Luana, Hawaiian princess,
who falls in love with him, and for
sakes her people for his sake He
wearies of her and finally she re-
turns to her native home and max
es atonement to her god by casting
herself into a lake OF fire. The vein
of tragedy that runs through the
play is rendered realistic by the sup
erstitions of the natives, and the
mystic rites performed by them add
greatly to the appeal the play maxi
es to its auditors. The story is
vested with singular charm chief
~ by the child-like quality of the
many native characters. The set
tings are marvelously interesting.
and the native dances, religious cere-
monies, which are introduced. add
an element of extreme picturesque
ness. The weird Hawaiian music is
as usual feature. Manager Moros-
co has provided an exceptionally
strong cast, which includes Miss Olin
Field as Luana. Forrest Stanley as
raul Wilson, David Landau as the
beach-comber, and others.
| Mail orders, If accompanied by
proper remittance, will receive prom
pit attention. Prices for the New,
Years and Wednesday matineesl
twenty-five cents to one dollar. Fol
the evening performances and SAT-
urday matinee, twenty-five cents Ito
$3.50.
