CAUSES
Charity Worker Names Lack of
Education as One.
Roosevelt Families" Are Re-
spOnsibIe for Many Demands.

Lack of education of the father or
mother has been responsible for more
than 400 cases during the last year
where relief has been extended to poor
families of Topeka" Mrs. Myrtle CAL
lahan, assistant secretary of the Prov
ident association, reported today.
1.-The results of a recent inyeStiga-
ton of the 4S1 cases of family relief
during the past month has shown that
over 400 have been directly attrib-
utable to the lack of education of the
parents" Mrs. Callahan told repre-
sentative of the State Journal this
morning. I'VE have never had to ex-
tend any assistance to union man. 1t
is the people who have never been
taught a trade or have not the educa-
ton to do any but the most mental
kind of work that we must aid. There
is an abundance of opportunity for
this sort of work in the summer but
when the winter comes work ceases
and we are besieged with requests for
assistance.
six of the cases." Mrs. Callahan
continued, resulted wholly from ha-
bitual drunkenness on the part of the
father" In eleven more cases drunk
mess was contributory cause"
Roosevelt families were the cause
of about % cases of relief according
to Mrs. Callahan. I'VE have had to
contribute to the vport of one family
with eleven children, three more with
ten children and several with nine
children

today and tonight, that it is one OF
those plays in which the actors enter
theoretically into the work of SER

unusual significance. The photog-

SEARCH WOMEN WARD
Mob Suspected That Bissen Was in
Jail in Disguise.

Seven negresses and one white wo-
man were compelled to appear before
the committee of fifteen that last in
spected the county Jail Wednesday
night. The summons to bring the
women out followed rumor that Bis
sell had been disguised as a woman
and was being protected in the wo-
mems ward.
How many women have you got
here?" some one shouted to Mrs. S. H.
Abbott, matron of the county Jail,
while the committee of fifteen were
being let into the prison.
What do you want to know for ?"
Mrs. Abbott fired back.
Because you've dressed Bissell in
women's clothes and you've got him in
the women's ward"
Immediately word that Bissell was
being guarded with the female prison.
ers spread and a demand to inspect
the women in the ward was made of
Mrs. Abbott.
1--WE only got one white woman
here" Mrs. Abbott assured the COM
mittee.
TT don't take long to black him.
Take us to the ward"
The subcommittee delegated to
look for Bissell among the women
were met with a storm of Indignation
when it became known by the seven
negresses in the ward what was their
purpose in calling.
Hes not in here" they commenced
shouting. IF he was here he'd be a
dead one now"
the committee, however, was I'M
convinced and each woman in the
ward IVES brought out for inspection.
That Bissell would never have left
alive the womens ward had he been
placed in there is the firm conviction
of Mrs. Abbott.
1.-The women were wrought up over
the murder and unquestionably would
have killed Bissell if he had been
placed among them

COMING in
About $50 Subscribed to Edna
DinSmOre Fund.
Contributions From Persons in
All Walks of Life.

I'VE have received about $50" re-
piled a young person behind the glove
counter in a local store where contri-
buttons are being received from peo-
pie who sympathize with little Edna
Dinsmore, and are going there to de-
post their mite as evidence OF their
feeling.
Cant you tell the State Journal
something of those who are deposit
ing their money with you here? We
do not ask for names, just tell US
something about the class of people in
order that we may write a little story
about it, for you surely will agree that
every one is interested in this fea-
ture."
Il have nothing tc say" was all the
satisfaction that could be gained from
her.
1t was learned from other sources
that people in all walks of life had
come to the store and paid tribute to
the little child's memory in various
sums.
One of the most pathetic cases was
where a little child, poorly dressed
| timidly entered the store and inquired
for the lady who was making COL
lection for Edna Dinsmore." She was
directed to the glove counter, where
her few pennies were as gratefully re-
ceiVed as was the ten dollar bill of
the big man who, a short time before,
had walked into the store and silently
/ deposited it on the counter. then turn
| ing said, Just a little tribute to poor
little Edna Dinsmore." Then he was
gone.
Men, women and children, white
/ and black and a few Mexican children
/ have contributed close to $50, it was
ascertained, but not from information
behind the glove counter.
Funeral Friday Afternoon.
The funeral of Edna Dinsmore will
! be held at o'clock Friday afternoon
at the Second United Brethren church,
/ corner Fifth and Leland streets The
| body will be laid to rest in Topeka
| cemetery. Members of the Sunday
| school of the Wesleyan Methodist
! church, where the little Dinsmore girl
attended, will go to the funeral in a
| body. Services will be conducted by
the Rev. M. L. Robey pastor of the
/ United Brethren church, assisted by
the Rev. T ]. Pomeroy, pastor of the
! Wesleyan church.
The expenses of the funeral will be
borne by the Shellabarger & Son I'm

A futile search of the county and
city jails in Topeka, a cold wild ride
to Lawrence after Fred Bissell. ac-
cused slayer of nine-year- Edna
Dinsmore, apparently had put no
damper on the spirit of revenge in the
hearts of Topekans this morning. One

today by one of those accompanying

generous sprinkling of the well
