CHRISTIAN CONVEN-
T|ON DODGE CITY
Five Hundred Members of the
Church Expected to Attend
War Time Problems

The annual state convention Of the
Christian churches of Kansas will be
held at Dodge City September 30 to
October 3. In spite of diverted in
terest caused by the war, preparations
are being ade to entertain at least
500 visitors during the six days
drafted for convention purposes. The
best state. program ever planned for
the annual meeting is being mapped
out by church officials and Dodge
City is expected to shower hospitality
on the guests who will flock to her
borders to hear the excellent pro-
grams.
One of the big speakers for the con-
vention already secured is Percy R.
Atkins, who recently was forced to re-
turn from France, where he was
"gassed." Before he was soldier he
was preacher and had charge of the
Christian church at Newton. Now he
is back in his home state to recruit
men for Y. NJ. C. A. overseas work.
His lecture will be one of the main at
fractions on the convention program.
Many Members in State
In Kansas there are $1,000 members
of the Christian church and more than
400 congregations. While the war will
be the direct cause for many church
members being unable to attend the
convention it is believed that double
effort wilr'be made on the part of
other parishioners to attend the con-
vention this year.. The. Rev. Paul
Henry Packard, pastor Of the Chris
tian church in Dodge City, is making
preparations for 500 guests to be en-
tertained on the Harvard" plan,
which provides for lodging and break
fast for all delegates. Topeka, Wich-
ita and Hutchinson will be well rep
resented.
Gov. Arthur Capper was invited to
have a place on the program, but was
unable to accept, as the dates conflict
with other engagements for that
week. Cecil l. Brooks, Of Kingman,
evangelist, will be in charge
of the music for the convention.
The Rev. Walter Scott Priest, Of
Wichita, pastor of the Wichita Cen
trail Christian church, said to have
performed more wedding ceremonies
than any other minister in the state,
will deliver q series of addresses on
''The Position and Plea of the Christ
ian Church" George F. Lyon, state
statistician, is gathering material from |
all the congregations in the state to
be included in the financial and MEM
bership report to be presented at the
business meeting.
Miller to Be q Speaker Il
The Rev. R. H. Miller, of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, secretary Of the "Men and
Million" movement in the Christian
:hurch, movement which has just
completed the raising of $S,OOO,OOO,
las agreed to come to Kansas for the
meeting.
Ample room for the entertainment
II the guests will be provided by
Dodge City citizens, who will put forth
very effort to show their Kansas
,rothers and sisters what a fine place
FORD county is. All delegates will be
rooms upon their arrival at
he convention and hOstesses win
erve breakfast. All meetings during (

State REPORT ON
AUTO LICENSES
Secretary of State ]. T. BOtkin
Makes Remittance to COun-
ty Treasurers-MOney
for Roads

Few state officers ever return uneX-
pended balances of funds to the coun-
ties, but that is what ]. T. Botkin,
secretary of state is doing now. He is
now remitting $S4,S7S.5O to the treas
urers of the 105 counties of the state,
the money representing the unex-
pended balance of the so cents the
secretary of the state receives on each
application for automobile license, in
the administration Of the law. The
$84,878.50 covers period of two
years, from June 80, 1916, to June 30,
1918.
Along with the refund of the money
to the counties went a report of the
number of tags issued by the secretary
of state during the last fiscal year,
which ended June 30, 1913. This
shows that S4,93O autos were licensed
during the year and 6,S3l motorcycles
The total number of applications was
191,261.
Kansas Is in the Lead .
1.-THE state of Kansas has been able
to administer the state automobile Ii
cense law for not to exceed 6 per cent
of the total amount collected from
the automobile owner" said c. w.
Myers, chief clerk in the department,
last night. at costs Iowa about IL
Der cent to administer the law Of that
state, and many others more than
that And our automobile department,
by the thoroness of its records, has
been able to keep better track of the
cars licensed that many other states
that spent larger sums in the admins
tration of the auto laws. The uneX-
pended part of the money collected
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
1917, should have been returned soon
after the close of that year, but thru
an error in the law, this money could
not be returned until the present time.
A small amount of the total unexpend-
ed balance is represented from the
sale of duplicate tags to dealers and
for the issuance of transfer licenses
and replacement of lost tags, which
money comes directly to the state auto
license department. Of course, any
unexpended balance in this line would
20 back to the counties just the same
as the general fund.
1.-THE money left after the law is ad-
ministered is diveded among the coun-
ties in proportion to the number of
cars in the county, and the same ratio
of division is carried out within each
county in respect to the townships.
The money goes into what is desig-
mated by the law as special motor
vehicle license fund, and is used for
the betterment of both county and
township roads. The county that
spends the largest amount for tags,
in other words, the county with the
largest number of autos, gets the
largest share of the fund, and the
same principle applies to the town.

KEARNS GETS BIG
PORT CONTRACT
Controversy Over Development Ended, 1t
Was Announced Saturday
Night.

Washington, March IL, Herald Bureau
Acting Secretary of War Benedict
Crowell Saturday night announced that
the contract for the construction on the
Boston port development had been
awarded to the w. F. Kearns company
of Boston.
The acting secretary declined to give
the amount of money to be spent in the
Boston development, saying that the
plans were not yet sufficiently complete
to permit the calculation of full esti-
mates. He said, however, he believed the
Kearns contract would involve govern
ment expenditures in excess of $4,000
600.
The award of the contract for the Bos-
ton port construction has been held in
allegiance for several weeks following the
development of political complications
involving various factions in the Demo
cratic party in Boston. Members of Con-
gress, and at least two former mayors of
the city, have made representations to
officials of the war department regarding
the proposed award of the contract to
the kearns company. Congressman Gal
liyan has been one of the proponents of
the kearns company in Washington.
SaIuTuaN Hlgnu, IL Is undeTstoou, May
or Peters attempted TO hold up the award
to the Kearns company. The mayor was
eloseted with Acting Secretary Crowell
for over an hour. At the end Of the con-
ference Mayor Peters started for Boston
and Secretary Crowell declined to make
public the representations Mr.. Peters
made to him. He admitted, however,
that the matter had been settled and the
award given to the kearns company,
though no official notification of this. he
said, had yet been communicated to the
Boston concern.
