Bessie Love. an ls-year old girl
weighing just one hundred pounds.
has in a little over a year developed
from naive little pupil OF the class
room into one 70 the most popular or
the Triangle stars.
Fate. she declares, directed her to
the Triangle studio that day when she
was selected from a mob Of extras to
play small part in The Flying
Torpedo" Since this was during a
summer vacation. It was not difficult
for Bessie toA overcome parental
pre- ejudices. In Act. her mother never
uttered dissenting word; but when
school reopened and Bessie continued
at the studio, her father momentarily
threatened to rob the screen OF It's
coming star. Perhaps he did not dis
Germ her innate talent, as did her
mother. His doubts as TO her sue
cess, however were Immediately dis
PEELED when she appeared In The

parents soon changed her place OF res
Idence 10 Los Angeles, where she re-
celved her education in the public
schools. She Is still studying her books
and music. Not long ago she aston
ished her friends by making her de-
but in opera. The music critics OF Los
Angeles at once proclaimed her a
find" for the music world, just as
she has proved n valuable discovery
for the screen.
Like most residents OF sunny Call
fornia. Bessie reyels In outdoor life.
She is fond OF all sports except fish
ing and hunting Her aversion to
these she explains simply: Il cannot
get interested In killing things" This

PASS NAVY BILL
Adds Is Million for New De-
Tense Emergencies.
These Additional to 351 Million
i'm Original Bill.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The house
this afternoon under stress of national
emergency almost unanimously adopt
ed Chairman Padgett's naval commit
tee report, which appropriates addi-
tional millions of dollars for naval
preparedness. The house acted in com
mittee of the whole. This assures
passage of the items.
Included in the appropriations are
$1,250.O00 for machine guns; $1,000
900 for anti-aircraft guns and am
munition at arsenals; $5,581,174 for
batteries for merchant auXiliaries, with
$7,2S1,941 for ammunition for the lat
ter.
All the appropriations mentioned
preparations which total 1851, 1000, 0O0
and were granted in the form OF
amendments.
Other appropriations favorably re-
ported to the house today and total
ing about S151, 100000, it was said late
amendments and introduced as sepa-
rate bills.
Biggest in L. S. History.
The nearest approach to the actor
of Padgetts committee today was the
appropriation of $50, 100000 and plac-
ing the sum at the disposal of Presi-
dent Mckinley at the outbreak OF
Spanish American war to be used az
Mckinley directed.
Shortly after Padgett's action
Chairman Webb, of the house judic.
larry committee reported favOrably
three war bills. They would prohibit
fraudulent use or counterfeiting q
government seals, punish attempte!
injury of vessels engagew in foreign
commerce or of their cargoes or crew.
and would prevent the disclosure o.

session considered a revised spy bill

ADD To BIC PLANT
Bell Telephone Co. Authorizes
Money for Improvements.
Addition to Offices and Equip
ment Is Topeka Plan.

Assurance that extensive improve
ments will be added to the Topeka
rlant of the Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone company was made today at
Kansas City. At a meeting of the
board of directors, an appropriation
of S4,50O,000 was voted for improve
ments to the company's holdings in
Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas
While no official announcement was
made of improvements to the plant in
Topeka, it is taken for granted that
such will be the case. 1t was only a
few weeks ago that the company in
vested several thousands of dollars in
purchase two lots directly to the
south of its headquarters on Jackson
street.
Added honor and responsibility was
placed on the shoulders of c. S. Gleed
of Topeka, when at a meeting of the
directors he was elected chairman OF
the board. H. J. Cettenei1l was elected
president; E. d. Minis, first vice presi-
iGent and treasurer; D. S. Read, sec
ond vice president, and c. H. Hopkins
general manager. 1t was decided tC
retain headquarters at Kansas City.
Preceding the meeting of the board
Of directors. a meeting of stockhold-
ers was held and among those elected
directors were c. S. Gleed> and M. A
Low of Topeka and A. C. JobeS and j
S. Downing of Kansas City: Mo. The
company is the successor to Missouri
& Kansas Telephone company.

BLOW AT BANKS
House Passes Measure Permit
ting Cooperative Institutions.
Bill Would Make Board Grant
Charter PrOmiScuOuSly.

House members have harpooned
the Kansas banks-again. 1t is the
fourth or fifth real hard bump the
banks have encountered in the house
since the session opened. After a red
hot fight that carried over form the
previous day, the house recommended
for passage the Chittenden bill which
permits establishment of cooperative
banks.
Chittenden's measure doesn't leave
much power with the state charter
board. Under the present law the
board may allow or deny an applica-
ton for a bank charter, based on To-
cal banking conditions. Now there is
nothing to do except to grant the
charter when twenty men have quail
flied for $4,000 and signified their
intentions to engage in the banking
business.
Recently the house put the skids
under the Kansas banks by reducing
the commercial interest rate from 10
per cent to 8 per cent. Several minor
measures which didn't please the
bankers in the least also found their
way thru the house. The Chittenden
bill. tho, is one of the most severe
shocks of the season
Geddes of Butler, Hughes of Rocks
and several other members urged war
fare on the bill. Chittenden, however
appealed to the members to put the
sk1ds under the money powers and
Holland of Russell county declared
tralized in state boards and commits
sioners and that the plain ordinary
people ought to have something to
say about such things as banks So
the house made faces at the banker
lobby and voted for the bill

Official Report of Consul at Queens
town Tells of Eavestone.

Washington, Feb. 6.-An official
report of the sinking of the steamer
Eavestone and the killing of an
American seaman reached the state
department today from Consul Frost
at Queenstown. The ship was a pro-
v;sional British collier.
Consul Frost's message said:
Provisional British collier Fave
stone sunk by shell fire from German
submarine in vicinity of .Fastnet yes
terday. American negro able seaman
Richard Wallace of Baltimore. killed
during Smelling of boat after just left
Eavestone. Details not yet availa BILE -
Consul Frost's dispatch describing
the Eavestone as a provisional collier
leads to the possibility that the de-
stroyed vessel might be classed as a
warship. If at the time of the sink
ing. the Eavestone was in admiralty
service no possibility of trouble with
Germany on that score opens up. Am
bassador Page has been instructed to
send further details. In any case Of
ficials say it is doubtful if any in
quiry will be addressed to Berlin.

PLAY The PUBLIC
Lawyers Rely on Sentiment to
Help Win Their Cases.
Invisible Jury Used as Ally in
Scott Damage Suit.

Public sentiment--the invisible jury
will play important parts in two big
criminal cases on the Shawnee county
docket for the latter part of the week.
1t is taking no small part in a civil
case on trial before Judge Dana in
which Alfred Scott, minor, is suing
the Topeka State Fair association and
H. L. kirkpatrick, an automobile rae
.er. for $4,000 personal damages re-
ceived in a sensational automobile ac-
cident at the fair grounds year ago
last September.
Attorneys for young Scott today dis
played a portion of bone taken from
the lads fractured leg. also pictures
of the monstrOuS racer. In addition
the jury is looking every minute at
/ the injured lad, his crutcheS, and an
other injured man. with crutches, the
victim of the same accident. Two
other $4,000 damage suits against
the association for the same accident
will be tried in the future. Testimony
produced today, showed that W. w.
the association and Fitzpatrick in the
original suit. Nave settled the three
suits for $4,000.
Try Johnson Becker Thursday.
In the trial of j. r. Johnson and
Golden Becker, charged with killing
| Jesse Weaverling on West Sixth
street at high noon while racing their
automobiles the invisible jury also is
expected to play a big part. At the
time of the catastrophe, the whole city
was aroused, even Mayor House was
! spurred to action and announced that
! in the future automobile speeders
would be treated with as little consid-
GRAFTON as bootleggers.
/ Robert d. Carver. county attorney,
! has refused to delay the trial any
/ longer. Rather than place it further
! down on the docket he will not try any
! more criminal cases until Thursday
when it is expected that +. D. Nc
( Keever, now trying the Fair associa-
/ ton case, will be at liberty to aid J. J.
! Schenck IL the johnson and Becker
/ case.
1 Schenck is fighting against the in
visible jury in the Johnson and Beck
/ er case while in the Cooper murder
! case he is doing everything possible
to enlist the sympathy of the jury ac-
cording to the county attorney. The
whole program of Schenck and Atchi-
son in producing all the testimony
against Burt T. Hunt, the dead man
is for the purpose of creating public
sentiment against Hunt, according to
| Carver.
The Cooper preliminary will be con-
/ tinued Saturday morning.
