the German soldatenrat warned him

SEEK A REVISION
Club Women Want Mothers
Pension Bill Changed.
Would Make Law Compulsory
With County Commissioners.

The Kansas Federation of Women's
clubs Is behind the campaign for a
revision of tie mothers pension bill
by the coming legislature. Officers
of the federation here state that prac-
tically every organization of women
in the state has approved of the plan.
In brief, the women urge that the
legislature make the law compulsory
with county boards of commissioners
rather than optional-that it read
"shalr' instead of may Another
provision which the women will urge
is to make more specific the method
of applying the law and amount to be
raised by the various counties.
Shawnee county applies this law as
well as it can be applied" said the chair
man of Shawnee- county mothers aid
investigation committee to investigate
applications for widows aid brought
to the county. "If the investigators
find that the circumstances warrant
it, they approve payment of stipu-
lated monthly sum-baSed on the
number of children-to the mother.
We receive a great many inquiries
from other counties as to how the law
is put in operation here"
1t is also pointed out thet in the
more largely populated counties. the
law should provide that the counties
/ either appoint a woman investigator
for the widows pension cases or dele
gate the task to some responsible
woman official, in case the work is
not sufficient to occupy the time of
one person. The object of the law is
the same as that whereby America is
n wv raising fund for French orphans
that fatherless children may be
maintained in homes by their mothers.

, ing the desired reforms of the law.
! who is devoting much time and energy

TROUBLE IS NEAR
Baseball Stars Are Threatening
To Be HOldOuts.
Ty Cobb and Duffy Lewis Are
Lenders In Ring.

New York, Dec. 30.-An organized
effort on the part of major league
ball players to make capital out of
the fact that they were "uncondition-
ally released" last fall. apparently is
being made. Already moves have been
started by Tys Cobb and Duffy Lewis,
two of the games most prominent
stars. -
Cobb, well knowing his value as a
bali player has declared the belief
that he is free agent, and made so
when the Detroit club quit business
last fall month sooner than it had
expected to. Lewis declares himself
in the same fashion because Of the
fact that he was sold to the Yankees.
He announces he will not report un-
less he is given part of the purchase
| money
tional releases by the club owners
| thru an agreement. 1t was discovered
that in this manner only could the
clubs escape the obligation Of paying
a full seasons saalry to the men. II
was agreed and fully understood tina,
| where it was before the government
decided to stop baseball The reserve
clause takes care of that in full.
The club owners hold the whip
hand. Unless they pull the wrong
t'string before the opening of the sea
son. the players will be driven into
line for the opening game without
much of a struggle. 1t is quite fool
ish to suppose that any club owner
unless he contemplated a brush with
an outlaw league, would tamper with
| Ty Cobb or any other player: In this
tconnection it may be. stated with alb
selute authority that reports Of Miller
tHuggins having gone to Augusta, Ga.
| to see Cobb regarding a probable
ltransfer to the Yankees, were with
out foundation.
