Thomas D. Shaughnessy Is
 Offered Secretaryship of the State Fair and Then String Pulls Back Gift

After having been assured late We'd nesday afternoon by majority of the new state fair commission that the was their choice for secretary of the com- mussion, Thomas D. Shaughnessy, who formerly held that position, awoke yes terday morning to find %hat he had been ''submarined" during the night by his active opponents and that instead of having the position "cinched'' that it probably was lost for good.
 Opposition to the selection of Mir. Shaughnessy as secretary was led by Cecil D. Boyce, who although a member of the commission, was himself can didate for secretary. MT. Boyce, it is said, was not present Wednesday after noon at the informal meeting of c. M. Layton and Frank J. Duffy, the other two members of the commission.
 When the news of the selection of Shaughnessy reached Boyce yesterday morning he rallied his friends and de- clared that he had been unfairly treat ed; that the meeting had been held without his knowledge. Midnight meeting" and "job'' were words also said to have been used.
 With each hour the controversy grew in heat and in proportions and finally was taken to Governor Hunt for ad- justmentA Following this conference an arbitration board was named to ad- just the affair amicably, the verdict o1 which was that both Shaughnessy and Boyce be eliminated as candidates fo. secretary. Friends of Shaughnessy in- sisted further, it is declared, that Boyct be removed from the state fair com. mission. No step of this kind, however was taken yesterday
 The state fair commission held it first official meeting yesterday ant elected C. M Layton as chairman When the commission adjourned las night no secretary had been chosen but Frank Baptist is said to be the mos promising candidate after the elimina tion of Shaughnessy and Boyce.

home in Junction City. Eighty-seyen

rate was to express the record of this
beautiful character, kind, benevolent
and Christian was her manner toward
those who knew her.
Her life covered an important epoch
in the history of time, and perhaps no
woman made greater impression fer
good during this period Of time, than
did Aunt Lucy" as she was affection
ately called by those who knew her
best.
She was an unusual woman in many
ways Her remarkable physical abiIi-
ty was a marvel to her friends: she was
past eighty-six years of age when she
began a second time in her life to do
''her Bit for freedom.
In these trying days when the fash
of steel has superseded all other in
terests, Aunt Lucy was often seen
busy with her needle on relief work
and hospital work for the Red Cross.
Never did she refuse a piecs Of saw
ing for the Red Cross, and her work
was always accepted as the very best

great mental poise. she did not live
altogether in the past, but was always
interested in thethings of the present,
and read much that she might be cor
rectly informed.
Her Christian faith was beautiful.
In her early youth she accepted Christ
as her Savior, and has been a faithful
follower of the Master, down through
the long years of her life.
The Christian church loses in the
death of Aunt Lucy, one of it's charter
members, but as the stone when
thrown into the water causes millions
of undulations, long after it has sunk,
from view, so will the goodly influence
of this woman live for time untold.
Besides son, Mr.. W. A. REYNOLDS

Editor News,

/ don't know as l can write
anything of interest, but as some
of my old Kentucky neighbors
and friends have requested me
to write to the News often, l
will try to write a few lines. We
are always glad to get the good
old paper and learn the happen
ings among our old home people.
Sorry to see the account of the
death of our friend, ''Bant"
Conover. He certainly was a
good man. The eulogy the News
passed on him and his brother,
Will, was very appropriate. In
deed, they certainly did stick to-
gether. His wife, son and broth
er certainly have our sympathy.
We are having some fine farm
ing weather this spring. though
it is still very dry. Hard on
wheat, oats and young grass.
The farmers are planning for a
large crop and to raise all the
cattle and hogs they can, in or.
der to help feed the world dur
ing this great and terrible war,
which is taking so many of our
boys away from home. some new

son of Bran White, and Sammie
Collins, former Adair Co., boy,
who are in training camps. at
Fort, Sill, Okla, both had pneu-
monia a few weeks ago. Sam
mie is at home now on a few
days furlough, but Leslie is still
in the hospital. Underwent an
operation few days ago, and is
now wearing a silver tube in one
lung. We enjoy reading the
Sketches of Adair County by

MERCHANT MARINE JOBS
100000 Enlisted for Crews
and Is, 900 a Month Avail
able as Recruits
BY the Associated Press


Extension of the draft system to the
navy is not regarded as necessary at
this time by the Navy Department.
Rear admiral Palmer, chief Of the
Bureau Of Navigation. told the Senate
Military Committee today the navy has
virtually all the men it needs and that
enlistments would not be affected by
changing the army draft ages.
Enlistments in the navy now total ap-
proximately 100000 men, said Admiral
Palmer, who represented Secretary Dan
iels before the committee, in response
to a request that representative OF
the navy advise the committee regarding
the advisability of amending the pend
ing administration man.power bill so as
to apply the draft system alike to the
army and navy.
Admiral Palmer explained that enlist
ments in the navy just now are princi-
pally to provide crews for the merchan,
marine, and that about 100000 men
have been accepted for that purpose.
Even II the present bill Is enacted, he
said, the navy would have no difficulty In
recruiting $1,000 men a month for the
merchant marine and for other pur-
poses.
The Navy Department is already work
ing In conjunction with the War Depart
ment regarding enlistments, the COM
mittee was told, and will continue to do
so, whatever may be done about the
draft ages.
Senator Chamberlain said today il the
man-power bill could be reported out
by next Monday. he would make an
effort to have the Senate reconvene
probably about August 10 to take it up.
Senator Curtis, of Kansas, one of the
Republican leaders, said he had con-
ferred by telephone with a number of
absent Republican Senators relative to
the Senate reconvening.
Secdetary Baker returned to The city
during the day and was at once asked
by Senator Chamberlain to app ear be-
fore the committee tomorrow.

Stern expressed the fear. according to
Meyers that the Wares would get to
Val O'Farrell and give him bunch of
money to get Maloney to recant his
story"
Photographs of a business card and
message of introduction TO a dentist
which Stern gave Meyers were produced,
Giving another conversation with
Stern on October IL, Stern is reported
to have said:

Grand Jury. I'll show them if they can

him concerning the Mayors refusal to
