CONFERENCE TEAMS
 OF MISSOURI OPEN
 THEIR SEASON TODAY
(By Review Leased Wire )

KANSAS CITY, Oct.-With six of the seven teams composing the Mis- souri valley conference in action to- morrow, football followers will have an opportunity to draw some conclu- sions. All teams are light and will depend largely upon open field and aerial passing for ground gains, crit. ics declare.
 The most important contest will be that of the University of Illinois and the University of Kansas, since none of the teams have ganes within the conference The Kansas team is in good condition. News from Urbana tells of the return of only three vet erans, which give Kansas the odds.
 The next in importance will be that of the Kansas Aggies and the Okla homa Aggies.
 Nebraska will play the Nebraska Wesleyan at Lincoln in a practice game. Missouri will play William Jewell.
 The Iowa Aggies will also play a preliminary game with Coe college at Ames, and Drake will play Penn col lege at Des Moines.

 Suicide in Salt
 Lake City, Utah
(By Review Leased Wire.)

OGDEN, Utah, Oct 5.-Gerald F. Dupont, aged P years, son of the pow der manufacturer of Wilmington, Del, and New York City, committed sui eide here this afternoon shortly after leaving the hospital where he had been for the past several days re- covering from a nervous breakdown.
 On Public Road.
 The tragedy occurred on the state highway in a thickly populated part of the north city while he was out riding with Miss Marian Browning, the daughter of George E. Browning, brother of John NJ. Browning, the gun inventor. Giving as an excuse that he desired to leave the automo- bile before turning around to leave for the city young Dupont stepped out of the car and walked back a few paces and then drawing a new pistol from his pocket placed it to his head and fired. The bullet passed through the head. The sound of the shot at tracted the attention of women and children in an orchard and they rush ed to the spot where the young man fell, arriving there at the same time as did Miss Browning. The young man was placed in an automobile and rushed to a local hospital where he died about two hours later.
 Wanted Health.
 Dupont came west for his health a short time ago and went to the ranch of J. s. Turner at Lost Creek, a few miles east of Ogden. He said that he decided to gain health and strength preparatory to enlisting upon an American submarine destroyer. The family of George Browning who have a lodge on their ranch met young Dupont several weeks ago. While at the Turner ranch Saturday Mir. Browning was informed the boy was i'll and brought him to an ogden hos pital where he was attended by local physicians.
 He was discharged from the hospi- tai today and accepted an invitation to go for a ride with Miss Browning at o'clock. The tragedy occurred an hour later.

SIackers NOU in Sonora Expected
 to Return Soon
fBy Review Leased Wirel

MORALES, Oct. 5.-The local draft exemption board announced today that it had sent word to a colony of about 400 alleged draft evaders, now in town in Sonora, that if they would return and undergo their examina- tions for service in the national army they would be given the benefit of Provost Marshal General Crowder's instructions regarding leniency in such cases.
 According to reports received here, the plight of the men is such that they are expected to accept the chance to come home and discharge their obligations. It was reported by persons returning from Sonora that employment had been refused them by Americans controlling the larger industries; that hotels had refused them accommodations and that many of the men were destitute.
 The Southern Pacific company of Mexico has offered to return without charge any who will agree to report 10 the exemption boards on arrival. Trainmen say groups of the men gather at every station and scan American newspapers to see whether they may return for duty without be- ing punished.

INVESTIGATION IS
 TO BE DROPPED SOON
Committee Appointed Finds There is Nothing to Inves- tigate.
(By Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Oct. 5.-Inquiry by a special house committee into the remarks of Representative Hefiin of Alabama in connection with reports that German money had been used to influence congress was completed today in one short session, and re- port will be made tomorrow. In ef- feet the report is expected to repeat what Mir Hefiin has said many times, that he has no direct evidence of wrongdoing against any member of congress and adds that there is noth. ing to investigate.
 The Alabama member told the com mittee that he never knew of any 'member obtaining German money, de nied that he ever said he had heard rumors that they had gotten it, and said that his suspicious against mem bers were aroused by the character of the proposals they introduced in congress.
 Two newspaper men, Stuart Goodwin and Andrew J. Eldred, testified that Hehin had told them he had heard ru- mors of members of congress getting money easily in local German gam bling house. They had quoted him to this effect, and he repudiated the in- terview.
 Reports were current during the day that the administration was anxious that the whole Iffair be dropped.

THANK GOODNESS, MAMMA NATURE DID
 THIS; NOT PERUNA!

Gerard Downs is anxious for the United States to win the war, but he has been accused lately of not try. ing to Help Hoover" Instead of con. fining himself to inexpensive foods Gerard has been eating American sur rency, which is both high priced and highly indigestible.
 A few days ago he swallowed a 50- cent piece, and he complained to his mother that his meal didn't rest as easily as if he had eaten Grapenuts. or something of the sort. His mother, properly alarmed, sent for the family physician, who suggested the Pacific coast or an operation. Gerard de- murred, but finally agreed to the trip after the football season was over.
 Needing new football shoes in the furtherance of his gridrion career, Ge- rard struck his dad, A. E. Downs, for four dollars and a half with which to purchase the desired articles. Father Downs thereupon handed Gerard the four dollars, with the injunction to "cough up the other half' himself. Gerard thereupon ''coughed up." the shoes were purchased. the Pacific coast trip and the operation were dropped from the schedule; and every one, including Gerard, will live hap oily ever after.
 The 50 cents, again back in circula- tion, will doubtless enjoy a quiet and peaceful old age. Like Jonah, it staged a successful comeback.

RECOMMENDS THAT
 MARRIED MEN COME
 TO THE SERVICE LAST
tBy Review Leased Wire.)

NEW YORK, Oct D. 5.-Recommenda- tions that the liability of married men subject to military service by con scription be postponed until all avail able unmarried men shall have been called into service are made in a list of suggestions for the guidance of the administration of the draft act pre- pared here by number of local board members, addressed to the president, the governor, the provost carshal and state adjutant general.
 Drafting of married men, while sin gle men without dependents are not called. results, the recommendations say, in much intense public dissat- isfaction and resentment which, as the number of such cases increases. must more and more seriously impair public confidence in the whole principle of conscription, and to that extent the successful conduct of the war"
 It also causes the indefinite sep aration of husbands and wives, which inevitably tends to produce serious moral and social dangers" The rec concentrations continue: Tt exercises an adverse influence upon future child birth. which is naturally fewer in war times; and imposes unnecessary pub lie burdens in increased casualty and death payments. and unnecessarily withdraws from production the older, more experienced and established men."
 The recommendations also suggest that registrants be examined only as fast as the government can put them in cantonments, and also that power be conferred upon local boards to dis charge registrants who, in good faith, support dependents, whether or not they belong to classes specifically enumerated in the regulations.

BARNES CIRCUS IS NEWER AND BIGGER
 THIS YEAR EVER

Fitting as the pleasures of the cir
 GUS itself, the contract man of the Al
 G. Barnes circus paid his annual visit
 to Bisbee, hurrying from city hall tC various newspaper offices, hunting uI grounds on which to place the "big top" reserving billboard space and attending to the thousand and one things necessary to placing the big amusement plan in our midst.
 Friday. October 26, is the day set for this biggest and best wild animal circus. The Barnes Circus has made distinct place for itself in the amusement world by adhering to a standard rule, hundreds of people are required to carry on this exclusive animal actor program, as each set of animals must have teacher and help, CT. Pretty girls have been chosen mostly for this work, as their sensa- tive natures give them a clearer und- erstanding of the brutishness of the fiercest jungle beasts. They are less prone to confusion than the man and present a prettier picture. The strength of wild animals is so tre- mendous that mere man strength amounts to nothing; it is the courage, fearlessness and self-assurance that counts most, and these are the quail fications women seem to possess.
 Over 1000 wild and domestic ami mals are carried by this big animal wizard and a program full of dash and ginger is given in 65 feature acts. A brand new feature is a big animal pageant by the entire ensemble. A jungle nursery, where the baby ami mals, of which the show has num- Der, are placed together. A person. ally conducted tour of the animal tent, under the guidance of a compe. tent lecturer and attendants, designed especially to give children and teach CTS the big educational value, such a number of animals, as only the Barnes circus carries, are a few of the features that marks Barnes Cir. GUS of the Show That's Different"
 Food and equipment supplies are purchased daily in the town the show exhibits, the amount of which goes far past the thousand dollar mark, while the big publicity feature for the chosen city is worth hundreds of dol, lars as a drawing card from the sur rounding towns and country patron, age, which do an unusually amount of purchasing circus day, forms some of the reasons cities court the pat. ronage of the Barnes Circus.
