HEARST IN DEFENSE
British Don't Want Truth, Says Inter.
national News Service.

The British government has issued
of the mails and cables to the Interna-
tional News Service. Following is the
other side of the story:
New York, Oct. 1.-THE English
censorS have been threatening for
many months to deny the Internation-
al News Service the privilege of the
mails and cables because the Inter-
national News Service did not print
the kind of news that the English de-
sired to have printed in this country.
The International News Service has
defied the censors and declared its de-
termination to print the facts as near
ly as it could find them without re-
gard to English preferences and preju-
dices.
The English censors issued a state
ment saying that the International
News Service has been denied the
mails and the cables because it has
distorted the news. The facts of the
matter are that the International
News Service has been denied the
mails and cables because it has not
been willing to distort the news.
The International News Service has
printed many important news facts
exclusively, news facts which even the
English papers did not get until they
saw them in the American papers
subscribing to the International News
Service and then were compelled to
copy them from the International
News Service papers.
Among those news beats and ac-
curate news statements of the Inter
national News Service was the sinking
of the Audacious, a most important
fact which the English papers were
not able to print until after it ap-
peared in the International News Ser
vice papers.
There was much criticism by the
English press because the American
papers printed news, genuine news.
undeniable news of vital importance
to England, that the English papers
were not able to get and not able to
publish.
The International News Service is
an American institution, published for
the service of the American people.
1t gets and prints the facts that the
the biased and distorted statements
that the English people want printed
It is the intention of the Interna-
tional News Service to print the new
all the news and nothing but the news
1t is the intention of the managers
of the International News Service to
continue printing opinions and inter-
views criticising the English censor
ship and assailing the English govern
ment whenever the acts of these Eng
| lish institutions conflict with the in
terest of the American public
The purpose of the International
| News Service is to be an American in
stitution for the American people and
without regard to the threat or ca
jolement of foreign nations. to print
the truth and the full truth for the
| information of the American people.

Brooklyn. y. Y. Oct. 14.-Miss
Clare Bishoff, of this city. is busy con-
sidering the many proposals of mar
riage that have come to her by mail
since her announcement in the papers
here recently of an intention to marry
the first nice young man who asked
her and who could provide for her
mother too After her own failure,
thru inadequate training to earn bread
for the two. Miss Bishoff concluded
that a satisfactory marriage was her
only hope.
Miss Rishoff is 20 years old and
pretty. She knows she would make
a nice wife Here are the require
ments she mentions in her search for
the man she is to marry:
He must he between the ages of 20
and 30 He must be of good habits
and a good family. He must be gen.

good looking But particularly he must
have an income of not less than $50
a week.
A few years ago at the time of her
earliest girlhood dreams of the man
who would some dav come to be her
hero lover Miss Bishoff's ideas were
rather naturally touched with ro-

HE PICKS A BONE.
A. s. Thomas of Topeka Brings
Relic From Cuba.
Human JaWbOne From Famous
Havana "PiIe.o

A crusade has been started in Cuba
to abolish the 'boneyard," an institu-
ton of long standing in Havana. The
boneyard is a building where the
bones of deceased humans are deposit
ed when their relatives fail to pay the
rent on the graves. The newspapers
and many influential persons in Cuba
are behind the movement to do away
with the last resting place. of thou
sand of corpses, where bones of count
less skeletons mingle to form huge
pile nearly fifteen feet high, seventy
five feet long and seventy-five feet
wide.
A S. Thomas, of the Santa Fe
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-10-14

sands of skeletons have been placed
here to deteriorate and return to
earth.
Graves Are Rented.
When person dies in Cuba he is
buried in the cemetery like in any
other country. Following an old
Spanish custom, however, the relatives
of the dead persons rent the graves
for a period of five years. If the rent
al is not forthcoming at the end of that
period the body, in that time reduced
to a skeleton, is disinterred and taken
to the boneyard where its identity is
lost in the mass of bones.
IF the coffin in which the body
was buried still exists the skeletons are
conveyed to the boneyard in the cas-
ket which is afterward burned. In
case the coffin has rotted away a huge
wooden bowl, closely resent bling the
bowl in which butter is worked is
taken to the grave and the bones are
gathered in it and taken to the place
where they are to be piled.
IF the negro who takes care of the
place." says Mr.. Thomas, were an
American negro he probably would be
scared to death. But the caretaker is
a Cuban negro"
In case any one doubts this story

Watch company, on his last trip to
Cuba, visited the boneyard and viewed
the pile of bones, altho entrance to the
building is hard to obtain. A lenient
guide, together with a generous tip,
secured passage for Mr.. Thomas and
his party and they gazed upon the
remnants of humanity which have
been accommodating for probably
century.
Here is Mr.. Thomas's account of
the institution which Cuba desires to
abolish:
THE boneyard is a square building
made of cement, with a sloping roof
and a cupola on top. There is a mar
row space around the walls inside
where attendants and such visitors as
are able to get past the watchful au-
thorities may move, and where the
negro who has charge may walk when
he wishes to add to the gruesome
| pile.
The walls of the building are fif-
| teen feet high and the pile of skulls,
ribs, spines, leg and arm bones
reaches to the top of the walls. The
| pile does not seem to grow very rapid
| ly as the bones underneath crumble
to dust in the course of time. Thou

TOPEKA WOMAN DRIVER
Mrs. Williamson Runs Her Auto to
Detroit and Back.

Detroit and Back.
Nearly all the stories these days are
of motor car exploits, and all that the
moving pictures leave unsafd on the
subject, is related by other yarn
spinners.
A Topeka woman with a peculiar
quality of courage in regard to auto
mobiles, is Mrs. George F. Williamson,
of 1882 Mulvane street. She bought
an automobile in the latter part of the
summer, learned to drive, and rode
about town in it a few times. when
she decided that to make a car worth
while to its owner, it should be driven
long distances. She invited three
women to join her, and away they
went on an overland trip to Detroit.
Mrs. Williamson did the driving,
averted accidents or repaired the re-
suits of them if they occurred. She
drove thru the most congested dis
tricts of Chicago, and made the jour
ney to Michigan and back home, with
no delays or serious accidents. Truly
women are becoming emancipated,
when a party of four of them start
out on a long automobile journey
without man to do the heavy work
and the heavy bossing, and at that
when the driver is a novice at the job.
