FORTUNE TO SUNSHINE
Leavenworth Police Character Is Heir
to $65, From Father.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 11.-"Sun-
shine" O'Dell, also known as Mrs.
Florence Hale, is an heiress.

nouncement contained in a letter re-
ceived by Chief of Police w. B.

characters father had died in New
Orleans, La. recently and that $65, 900
had been left her.

Venter a cousin, who lives in that
city. Mrs. Venter states that Sun
shines" name is Venter and that she
left her home in New Orleans for this
city November IL, 1912. Since that
time relatives there have never heard
from her and now they are attempt
ing to trace the woman that she may
claim her fortune.
The names of Sunshine O'Dell'' and
FLORENCE Hale" can be found on nu-
merous places in the police records.
For four years the woman has been a
police character of note, and she spent
more days in the city Jail on charges
of drunkenness. yagrancy, disorderly
conduct and disturbing the peace than
probably any other person known to
the police.

FUTURE IS BRIGHT
Pugilistic Outlook for 1917
Looks Most Encouraging.
Many States Plan to Permit
Boxing Bouts Again.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Jan. 1.-The year 1917
has all the earmarks of successful
twelvemonth of boxing. Here's hoping.
Last year was not a banner year for
the game of jabs and uppercuts, for
there were but two matches of recog-
nized championship calibre. They
were the bouts betwee-. Welsh and
White, at Colorado Springs. and Kill
bane and CLANCY, at Cedar Point.
No championships changed hands
and no new champions were actually
made, altho there were claimants in
the welter and middleweight divisions.
But 1917 ought to bring about some
real fistic dishes. 1t is practically GER
tain that Jess Willard will be called
upon to defend his crown before an
other year rolls around. He will prob
ably be limbering up for action along
about May or June. The promoters
Will dig up somebody for him and
there is chance that his next battle
will be a winner at the box office. for
the public is ready to take another
look at him.
Welsh VS.. Kilbane.
Freddie Welsh, generally a busy
boxer, will no doubt continue his coin
collecting campaign. He is practically
sure to meet Johnny Kilbane between
now and the first of June, and a meet
ing between these two boys will be a
card worth while
The promoters in New York and
elsewhere are looking forward to
more action among the middleweights
since Lester Darcy is in this country,
and if the Australian proves to be as
good as he is claimed to be a long
list of opponents will be trotted out
for him.
The fight fans of the country are
eager to get line on Darcy. They
want to see what sort of stuff he is
made of, and now that Georges Car
pentier's coming to America has been
| indefinitely delayed, the time is ripe
for Darcy to get busy.
In the bantamweight division, with
the title in dispute between Johnny
Ertle and Kid Williams, and a new
crop of bantams being groomed for
championship efforts, there may be a
revival.
New Boxing Laws.
Before the new year is many
months old strong effort to legalize
boxing in several states will be in
order. Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ne
braska and Indiana followers of the
tistic game are living in hopes that
| bills can be put thru their state
| legislatures which will make boxing
permissible, and if new fields are
opened up the game will enjoy its
! best year since the long-route scraps
were driven from California.
Cuba promises to become the haven
! for all battles over the marathon
route. Havana promoters are now
| building a monster arena and race
! course in the island capital and any
! championship bouts staged there will
| be over the Foreground distance.

new BANK LAWS
State Bankers Will Urge Four
Legislative Enactments.
Marcel Halderman-Julius Sends
Out Notices.
REMOVE THE DEPOSIT LIMIT
Kansas Institutions Want to
Take In More Money.
Also, They Seek Permission to
Buy Out-of-State Bonds.

Kansas state bankers will urge 1ouI
legislative enactments. Notices OF
proposed changes in the law, nave
been sent to state bankers py Marcel
Halderman-JuliuS of Girard, secretary
of the state organization. A number
of state bankers are members of the
legislature and it is probable that the
proposed changes in the state law VIII
be recommended by these men.
Among changes asked in the state
law will be removal of the deposit
limit for state banks participating un-
der the bank guaranty act. Another
change concerns the distribution and
assessment of funds under the guar
anty law. State bankers also want
permission to purchase state and mu-
nicipaI bonds, as well as permission
to act as administrators, executors
and trustees for estates.
Secretary's Recommendations.
These are the legislative recon-
mendations as prepared by the secre-
tary:
A bill repeating. Section 60 of the
state bank act and section 81 of the
guaranty law, commonly known as the
ten times rule, which forfeits the
charter of bank and removes its de-
posts from the protection of the guar
anty fund should it receive deposits in
excess of ten times its capital and sur
plus.
The first section of the state bank
ing act has always been interpreted
by the bank commissioner to prevent
state banks from buying any bonds
other than Kansas state and munich
pal bonds This portion of the state
banking act should be repealed and
Kansas state banks should be per-
mitted to purchase the state and mu-
nicipal bonds issued in other states.
A bill to permit state banks to act
as administrators, executors and trus-
tees for the estates OF deceased per-
sons, minors and insane persons and
to act as trustees generally and in a
fiduciary capacity.
A bill to create a committee, to be
appointed by the governor, to be COM
posed of three guaranteed bankers"
This committee to have equal author
| ity with the bank commissioner in all
matters pertaining to the assessment
and distribution of guaranteed funds
and in settlement of claims of failed
banks

MANY SEE ART EXHIBIT
Big Crowd Visits Rooms of Topeka
Art Society.

A large crowd admired the exhibit
of the work of Gutzon and Scion
Borglum at ia West Eighth street
Sunday afternoon. Many in the crowd
had already visited the exhibit one or
more times the week before.
1T is impossible to comprehend or
fully appreciate such an exhibit in one
VISIT Robert Merrell Gage told the
visitors in a short discussion of the
lives and works of the two brother
sculptons. Such a display must be
visited several times before one gains
the full weight of beauty and mean
ing wrought in the marble and
bronze
In his address Mr.. Gage attacked
the idea that the artist is of neces-
sity temperamental, eccentric, dis
sipated man.
'Solon and Gutzon Borglum break
every rule of being artists if you con-
slider an artist to be that long haired,
cigaret-smoking, immoral creature
that is so much talked of. Their lives
are clean. wholesome, full of vigorous
joy of living. Both lead natural lives
in which the love of home is the domi-
mating influence. Their personalities
are in marked contrast. Scion, the
younger of the two brothers, is calm
gentle, kindly, strong and patient
while the Viking blood shows in Gut
and intense nature"
Gage described the effect of early
western environment on the first work
of Scion Borglum, which abounds in
such expression as 1.-The Bucking
Broncho," "On the Trail" Gods Com
mand to Retreat In contradistinc-
ton to his realism Gage described the
significance of his latest work
Earth" Man" Heaven" Water

versatility of Gutzon Borglum, who is
recognized as Americas greatest sculp.

Mr.. Borglum's recent exhibition IL
New York, which included all of the
work shown here, was hailed by the
critics as Americas expression il
sculpture and ranked with the Bel.

The exhibit will be open to the pub
lie for two weeks more when it will be
sent to Kansas City. It was secured
for Topeka entirely as an expression
of friendship on the part of Gutzor
