TOPEKA GIRL IN 1T
Louise Mann in "War's Women" at
COZy Theater.

North Topeka people who attend
the Ince feature, Wars Women" at
the Cozy will recognize Louise Mann,
a former North Topeka girl, in the
Abbess." She carries a difficult role
and handles it with strength and pa
thOs.
Wars Women is up to its ad-
vance notices. keenan, as 1.-The terri
BILE Turk" communicates to the audi
ence cruelty and bestiality of the
breed with narrowing power. Enid
Marley, who hitherto has been seen
as an ingenue, fulfills her pathetic
role to the utmost. The production is
lavishly staged and as far as expense
goes is unquestionably a real flea
ture."
And for dramatic power it is also a
feature. The dream of the colonel,
father of Enid Marley in the picture,
which is the main part of the film, is
almost too excruciating. But if we
are to believe reports it does not ex-
aggregate, and if it unquestionably
drives home the theme of the drama
with trip-hammer force. It is a clever
dramatic device and lifts the picture
from the plane of mere sensationalism
The Wars Women has tremenG-
Gus punch and those who insist that
the film-drama is a Sedative should
stay away. But those who love thrills
and lavish settings should attend er

NO APPEAL BOARD
Attorney General Recommends
Change in Censor Law.
Let State Superintendent Take
the Responsibility.

In his biennial report sent to Gov
ernor Capper today, S. M. Brewster.
attorney general, urges repeal of the
provision, in the motion picture cen
sorship law, providing for the present
appeal board. Brewster, with Gov
ernor Capper and J. T. Botkin, secre-
tary of state, are members of the ap-
peal board. The work of the board
Brewster would now pass to the state
superintendent of public instruction
or members of board appointed by
him. Or, Brewster declares, he is
perfectly willing that the legislature
abolish the appeal board.
Extension of the inquisition powers
of the attorney general and county at
torneys is also urged by Brewster.
The 1915 legislature sought to grant
this power. But some one slipped a
joker into the bill and it is effective
only in places where it is not needed.
Brewster also urges the governor to
lay before the legislature the neces-
Sity of care in writing revenue pro-
ducing measures. He calls the atten-
ton of the state to the recent loss of
the oil inspection fees when the SUI
preme court declared the law uncon-
stitutional and a revenue producing
measure rather than an inspection
act.
LAS the law is now constituted, the
appeal board has no jurisdiction over
any moving picture films which have
been approved by the censors," says
Brewster. mo person interested has
any right to appeal from the decision
| of the censors approving picture"
1t is probable that several of the
suggestions contained in the Brewster
report will find a place in Governor
Cappers message to the 1917 legisla-
| ture. Brewster urges that the rate
making power of the public utilities
commission be made clear and EN-
| phatic. He urges that the legislature
safeguard the writing of revenue and
| inspection measures. The report COW
ers much of the more important work
of the department during Brewster
administration, yet will eat up less
white paper at the state printing plant
| than any report from the attorney
generals office in recent years.

METHODISTS TO DONATE MORE
Presbyterians Second = Two
Quakers Are Coming.
One Episcopalian and One
Catholic in List.

Letters from SO of the 165 members
of the 1917 legislature, show that 81
of the number claim some church
membership or affiliation. Should
the ratio continue, the next Kansas
house and senate will show a ratio of
nearly two to one church going men.
The showing is probably far above the
average for legislative or deliberative
bodies.
Just SO of the SO reports are from
men not affiliated with any church.
Several of these reports. however, in
dictate that the members occasionally
attend some church. Not all of the
remaining 81 members are affiliated
with a church by membership. A
number of them mention that they at
tend church or feel leaning toward
some church organization. w. A. S.
Bird, reelected as a member from
Shawnee county, probably expresses a
popular sentiment among nom church
going members. Answering the
query as to his church relationship
Bird replies: "A friendly feeling to-

Church Poll.
AS is frequently the case in a church
poll the Methodists lead. But they

Presbyterians are right on their heels

are completed. The Methodists claim

Christians are in close race for th1ro
place. From reports received by the
State Journal, ten members claim re-

Baptist church, while nine favor the
Christian church.
The Congregational church is fifth
in the race with five members. Two
legislators are Lutherans. one Episco-
palian one Swedish Mission, two

We have not said anything about the

PLAYMATE HANGED
But Despite Evidence Grand Jury
Vindicates Dead Boys Companions.

Shelbyville, ILL.,, Nov. 21-Three
young boys, Gilbert Rhodes, Lutte
Lowery and Johnny Hinton, the oldest
IA years old, today were vindicated OF
the charge of having murdered their
playmate, Willie Smith, 10 years old,
and then hanged his body from raft
er in deserted barn.
= The Shelby county grand jury re-
fused to return a true bill against the
three lads.
The murder and the arrest of the
boys forms the strangest and most pit
iful mystery in the history of crime
annals of this country.
Early last summer the four boys
left their homes here for a jaunt into
the woods. The three boys released
today returned at evening without lit
party.
Find Nude Body in Barn.
They could give no clear account of
nude body of little Willie was found
stretching from the rafter of a de-
serted barn. His throat had been cut
before he was hanged.
His three companions were ordered
held by the coroners jury. In the
pockets of one of the boys was found
tobacco pouch carried by young
Smith and at the home of another was
found a bloody pair of overalls. De-
spite the evidence against them, the
three lads have chung to their story
that they knew nothing of the death
of their little companion. This fact
is believed to have influenced the
grand jury.
Little Willie's mother, poor and
widowed, has never recovered from
the shock of her sons death.
