CHARITY GIFTS SECRET
Mrs. Thos. f. Ryan, Who Gave Away
$1,0OO,OO0 Year, Is Dead.

New York. Oct. 1s.-Mrs. Thomas
F. Ryan, wife of the traction mag
nate, is dead today at her country
home, Suffern, N. Y. Her husband
and son Allan were at the bedside.
Mrs. Ryan gave away 100000 a
year in charities, a1tho her name new
er appeared in any of them. She built
schools, hospitals and chapels in many
cities, built the Richmond Cathedral

lions and built monuments on every
southern battlefield. Her death fol-
lowed a brief Illness
Was Given Title by Pope.
1t is estimated by close friends that
Mrs. Ryan had given $2O,0OO,0OO to
various objects connected with the
Catholic church. Because of her
benefactions, Mrs. Ryan was made a
papal countess in 1907 by Pope Plus
X, but she never used the title. At
that time she and Countess Anna
Leary were the only women in this
country entitled to use that title
Among some of Mrs. Ryan's gifts
were fifteen chapels in Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklahoma.

TOUCH CAME FRI.
High School Lads VIII Play at
Kansas City, Kan.
Bearg'S Men Have Been Work
ing Hard for Battle.

Coach Elmer Bearg's high school
football team will tackle one of the
hardest propositions it must face this
season Friday afternoon when it goes
against the strong Kansas City, Kan,
eleven on the latter's own loan. The
local lads will leave here on the Santa
Fe Plug tomorrow morning and will
return as soon after the game as pos
sible.
Bearg has a good supply of talent
and has some potential football stars,
but most of his men are green and
inexperienced and for this reason it is
taking considera BILE work to get them
speeded up. However, the boys are
willing, there is no trouble or friction
as there was last season and both
Bearg and Mr. Hapworth predict big
things for their men a little later on.
Boys Work Hard.
The H. S. lads have been working
hard for their Kansas City game this
week and ought to be in good condi-
ton. 1t is probable that they will be
handicapped both in weight and ex-
perience, but they expect to give a
good account of themselves just the
same.
The high type of players the Topeka
high school has this season is shown
by the following compliment paid the
team and officials by the Frankfort
Indx following the to 0 tie game
played with Frankfort here the week
before last:
Frankfort's Compliment.
Frankfort never expects to meet q
finer type of people than the people
they mixed with in Topeka. The team
was made up of a mighty fine bunch
of fellows. The students on the side
line were just as nice. And when the
Frankfort men met Principal Stout
Professor Hepworth and Coach Bearg
| they did not wonder that the team
and the student body in general were
| so well behaved and courteous anG
| congenial.
| 'These are the really great things o,
the game after all. All shall Ions
remember the visit to Topeka anC
hope to have them make Frankfort {
visit some time"

22-caliber revolver.
The police expressed the opinion
that each girl held a revolver at the
others head and fired. 1t was plan
ned to hold an inquest today.
The note found in the girls room
was addressed to Miss Spalding's
mother. Through inquiries made at
her home in Newton it was learned
that Margaret Spalding was gradu-
ate of the Newton High School, where
she had been a prominent basketball
and hockey player. Since last fall
she had been teacher-pupil in the
gymnasium department of the Gar
land school, in Boston. Miss Stanton
was a pupil at this school until two
weeks ago, when she began studies
at tthe Dana Hall School, in Welles-
ley, Mass. They were close friends.
Thought it Better to Die.
No definite reason was given in the
note for the act. 1t is said they had
decided that 1t was better that they
should die and asked their parents
not to be gricf-strickcn because "thcy
would all be happy and peaceful when
reunited in better world"
A note left by Miss Stanton asked
that c. f. Malsbury, Johnson build
ing, Cincinnati be notified. Mr.. Mails
burg was executor Of the estate of
Miss Stanton's mother, who was kill
ed in an automobile accident.
Light was thrown on the suicides
later today when the police made pub
lie a paragraph from the joint note
left by the young women. 1t read:
"We have experienced perfect love
for each other and cannot bear the
thought of separation. SO we will
end it all"
The police said also that a wish cx-
pressed that the bodies be buried to-

gcthcr. The separation referred to is
supposed to have meant the depart
ure from the Garland school of Miss
Stanton when she was transferred to
the Dana Hall School at Wellesley.
No inquest will be held. Plans were
made to remove the body of Miss
Spalding to Newton, Mass, and to
place the body of Miss Stanton on a
train for the West tonight
