HELP LITTLE ORPHANS
Money Being Raised to Pay Mort
gage on Falley Farm.

In North Topeka, and in the Kaw
valley between Topeka and Silver
Lake funds are being solicited for the
benefit of the six orphans whose par
ents lost their lives when a Union Pa
ficif train crashed into a motor truck
west of North Topeka Saturday.
The fund is growing slowly. The
object of the subscription is to pay off
the mortgage on the twenty-acre truck
garden owned by the Falleys. 1t is
said that the two oldest Falley chill
'dren. Vera, 10, and Sammy, II, are re-
markable children and we'll able, if
given a chance of taking care of them
selves and the four other orphans in
the family.
Donations may be sent in to A. NJ
Petro, $40 North Kansas avenue. The
following contributed today: Cope
& Co., SIS; Eli Rogers, 81; w. H. Bev-
er, 81; T. D. Joseph, 81; Charles Suit,
81; D. H. Wallace, 81, and cash, SO
cents.
One Topeka merchant gave a book
account to the children of $27. 1t is
felt that the fact that the children
are totally dependent and peculiarly
deserving, should call forth the gem
crosby of TopekanS.

MEET HERE JUNE 10
All Plans Made for Big National Pro-
hibition Congress.

The national prohibition congress
will assemble in Topeka, June IS, 10
and 20, to again take up the fight for
national prohibition. A resolution of
the body which will ask congress to
submit the amendment to the con-
stitution to the people will probably
be the most important part of the
business.
Kansas, altho it is as dry as the
proverbial bone, has become the cen
ter for prohibition workers. 1t is
nearly the battlefield for the organ
izations. Field days have been OBJ
served in nearly 400 Kansas towns
during the last two months. A rally
was staged at Wichita, June 81 and
in Topeka Sunday, a field day was
celebrated. A similar affair will be
staged at Kansas City, Kan, June II,
and the next day the national asso-
citation will assemble in Topeka for
their three days conference.

TAX NEWSPAPER ADS
Senate Substitutes This for House Plan
to Raise Mail Rates.

Washington, June AFTER several
hours discussion of how newspapers,
magazines and other publications shall
be taxed for war purposes, the senate
finance committee today adopted a
resolution against increasing second
class postage rate and in favor of
levyipg a direct flat per cent tax
upon advertising receipts. The de-
cisicn was tentative, but was expected
to he final.
Only one member of the committee
voted against the resolution. Chair
man Simmons announced that the vote
was merely to gain a concrete express
sion of committee sentiment and to
that extent was tentative and is open
to further reco nsideration. Other sena-
tors, however. stated that with such
an overwhelming vote, it was believed
the per cent advertising tax finally
would be adopted. Revenue of $15,-
100000 is estimated

TO. CHASE KIDNAPERS
Springfield Posse Disregards Keet's
Wishes and Begins Hunt.

Springfield, Mo-, June 4.-Under the
plans of citizens to search the Ozark
hills for the kidnapers of the Keet
baby, motor cars will be comman-
deered tonight and the hunt COM
menced. 1t was reported that the
case might be investigated by the
grand jury which now is in session
but this could not be verified. The
meeting which determined upon the
search was attended by John H. Far
rington and A. A. Johnson, judges of
the Springfield court of appeals.
Mr.. Keet was not advised of it.
"Keet has not taken US into his con-
fidence," Judge Johnson declared af-
ter the meeting. Hundreds of moth
erS have called upon US every day
since the kidnapping urging us to take
more aggressive action. The Keet
family apparently are willing to do
anything to get their baby back with
out a thought that the safety of the
community depends on the punish
men of the criminals. Something must
be done for the protection of other
homes
