TAKING CARE OF A
MUSICAL GENIUS
Edgar Stillman Kelley Now Has
Nothing to do but Apply
Himself to Music.

Oxford, O., Feb. 21.-Rather than
permit financial poverty to stifle the
genius of the aging and world ia
nous composer of symphonies, Ed
gar Stillman Kelley, the Western
College For Women here has placed
him on the faculty and endowed him
with comfortable home and moth
ing to do but write music.
The "New England Symphony
the music in ''Ben Hur,' the modern
music in Macbeth" the symphonies
"Gulliver" and aladdin" and the
opera "Puritania' all are products
of Kelley's pen. Emil Oberhoffer,
conductor of the Minneapolis SYM
phony orchestra, has called Kelley
..the American Brahms" j. Walter
Kramer, writing in Musical Amer
ica," referred to the New England
Symphony. as "America's most not
able symphony"
In a little farmhouse 2 miles east
of this city Kelley spent 2 years
writing New England 1t cost
$1,000 to publish it and it is much
played, but little purchased. Writ
ing music that will live is poor bust
ness, financially. ....
Kelley had been in Germany )
years when the College offered him
the Composition Fellowship. With
his wife, herself talented music,
ian, Kelley now lives at the college
He is 5S. and such an indefatigable
worker that his wife has to water
him carefully to see that he doesn''
forget that his dinner is sitting be
side him. .s.

THE new W0MEN'S
.R| |:
A Prison Without Walls to Be Estab.
lished Near Rockwell
City, Iowa.

Des Moines, Feb. 21.-Members o.
the state board of control are OF
their way to Rockwell City today tc
lay plans for the cottages to be bull
for the new women's reformatory
for which the last legislature ap-
propriated 100000. 1t will be the
third prison in the land without
walls. 49,
Women prisoners will not be held
within cells and the authorities de-
pend upon making the institution SC
attractive that they will not want
to run away The board of control
has been given parole power over
women, formerly exercised by the
pardon board. H.
Chairman William J. Dixon of the
board of control said today, 1--WE ex-
pect to keep inmates entertainingly
employed, much of the time at light
work outdoors. The reformatory
will be located on a 24O-acre estate
and will look more like college
campus than prison.
"The institution buildings will be
grouped in circle with a beautiful
lawn in the center. Each cottage
will have accommodations for 25
prisoners and the prisoners will be
divided as to classes. Really hard
ened cases will be housed in one
building which has bars. The bars,
however, cannot be detected as they
will be encased in the wooden
framework of Queen Ann" sty:e
window sash. Other cottages will
not have bars.
"The warden's quarters will be on
the inside OF the administration
building facing the circle from
which the warden can always watch
the cottages. There will be matron
in charge at each cottage as at a
college dOrmitory.
1--WE do not anticipate any Difficult
ty in. controlling prisoners with the
honor and merit system giving time
off for good behavior. There are
now about "a girls in the Mitchell
VILE Industrial school who will be
removed to the reformatory as soon
as it is finished, probably early next
winter.
"There are also about twenty
women at the Anamosa reformatory
who will be sent there at once, and
many others in county jails who will
be sent to the new institution"

so an acquaintance of DR.. Smith
who could match that death with
another last year where a friend OF
his committed suicide" At least
that was the cause of his death as
given by the Turkish government.
When a mission worker receives a
notice from the government telling
him to go to one place or another, OF
to leave Turkey at once-the sooner
the better for the missionary.
Massacres and looting by the
Turkish butchers, the Kurds, had be-
gun long before DR.. Smith left Diar-
bekir, and he once had occasion to
dress the wounds of about twenty
five women and children, Armenians,
who had been mutilated in one way
or another by the Kurds. These
were from the outlying villages.
Diarbekir is a city of between 49,
600 and $4,000 inhabitants and lies
on the banks of the Tigris. DR..
Smith and wife were the only Amer
leans in the city and their position
OF course infinitely precarious, al
though DR.. Smith is little inclined
to boast of past dangers.
Long ago all the men of the vii
lagos were deported from their
homes, some into military service
and others-Eell, no one knows
where. This left the women and
children at the mercy of the Kurds,
who have always done the bloody
work for the Turks. Or. Smith says
that his exile from Turkey was caus-
ed by the governmental seizure of
some of his correspondence to Amer
lean friends in which he unwittingly
shed a little light upon the Turkish
affairs. Albeit, they feel that while
they dislike very much to leave,
their heads have been saved by the
event. a
All missionaries agree that follow
ing the war, Turkey will be a Won
derful field for Outstanding inlu-
ences and that the Turks turning
from Mohammedism as they are
bound to do-will seek Christianity.

MINERS Want INT big. Bic!
Increase IN PAY
Big Battle Now on in New York Be-
tween Workmen and Their
Employers.

New York, Feb. 21.-To see
whether they can agree on wages
and working conditions to replace
those expiring. April /, representa-
tives of hard coal mine owners and
hard coal miners met here today.
The miners want 20 per cent more
wages, the mine run system and bet
ter working conditions. The mine
owners say their profits are not
enough to warrant granting the
miners demands; and that if the de-
mands are granted the price of coal
will go up so cents ton to the con-
sumner, which will take about $685..
100000 a year more out of the con-
sumer's pocket.
The miners reply that the war has
made so much business for coal mer
that they are making more money
than they ever did before.
Representatives of the Allies and
of manufacturers in America are
watching the situation closely ant
will do everything in their power tt
prevent big coal strike and the
paralyzing of business thereby.
It is not believed probable that g
general miners strike will be call
ed, but in view of the distance apart
the miners and operators seem to bt
on the new agreement, men In a po
sition to know say it will be stiff
fight with a strike not. altogether
an impossibility.
The miners include in their de
.mands an s hour day with time ant

Can't Have Imported Beer.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 21.-Mil-
waukeeans have been living on home
grown brew since the European war
started. Although the breweries
are able to turn out enough beer to-
satisfy their capacities, many Mill
waukeeans had cultivated a taste for
the foreign product. Now they must
be content with the Juice of the hops
of their own making. Only one ship
ment of beer from foreign country
has been received in the city since
the war started and that was from
Holland. The entire shipment was
purchased by one of the larger no.
tells and was exhausted within two
days. ...--.

A SHORT TALK
With DR.. Smith
Recently Returned From Armenia,
Turkey-Tells of narrowing
Conditions in That
Country.
HE WAS ORDERED TO LEAVE
Is Friend Of Rev. Mainard, Who
Was in This City Short
~ .E .at.~Ri f@
Time Ago.

DR.. F. o. Smith of Diarbekir, Tur-
key, formerly S. y. I. classmate OF
DR.. Ward Hannah of this city, is
here this week for visit with his
friend and family DR.. Smith comes
to Webster City from Rowley, his
Iowa home, where his wife now is
during their enforced vacation from
Turkey. He and his wife have been
residents of Turkey for the past
three years, under the American
Board, the physicians work, being
that of a medical missionary. He is
an acquaintance also of Rev. Main
ard, of Bitlis, Armenia, Turkey, who
was in this city lecturing about two
weeks ago. a.E.
DR.. Smith left Diarbekir, with his
wife, in response to curt invitation
to do so from the Turkish govern
ment-the first OF last August. Their
route lay across country to Bayruit
on the Mediterranean where they
took passage to Rhodes on an Amer
lean collier. Thence by Greek steam
err to Athens and from there to Ma
pies, from which point the Smiths
proceeded through Italy and France
to Switzerlands stopping at Geneva
and other points and going to the
Isles where passage was secured TO
America from Liverpool the last OF
August. The only exciting occur
renee enroute was in the Mediter-
ranean where the steamer was chas-
ed by a French torpedo boat.
DR.. Smiths experiences in Turkey
tally with those of Rev. Mainard
insomuch as their work has been of
missionary nature and opportun-
ity has been at hand to feel the Tur-
kish pulse, fguratiyely Speaking.
Turkey will be no more at the end
of the war, whichever nation comes
out winner. The days of absolutism
are numbered for high handed THE
very, trickery and also for Mo-
hammedism, thinks DR.. Smith. No
American missionary in Turkey has
any absolute assurance of safety
while within its borders. Dr..
Smith told of the strange disappear
ances of friends Of his, over which
the waters. of Turkish diplomacy
close as surely as if they had been
drowned in the Pacific. Govern
mental authority controls the tele-
graph and the post, and there is alb
solutely no way for truth of Turkish
conditions to get to the outside work,
except by mouth Of exile or mission
airy or returned traveller. These
mission workers who have disap-
peared have been declared dead by
Turkish officials, from strange
causes. The friend of Rev. Mainard
who "died from oyereating" was al
