King, who is visiting Mrs. Annie Van
Deman, was to have been boat
party and picnic at the springs, with
Mrs. H. M. Hampton as hostess. On
account of the inclemency of the
weather this looked for pleasure had
to be changed for one equally enjoy
able. The hostess quickly adapted
herself to circumstances and the
guests were taken in cars to the Ocala
House, where in the private dining
room delectable luncheon was daint-
lily served in buffet style. Mrs. Hamp-
ton was assisted in entertaining her
guests by Mrs. w. w. Harriss and

luncheon proved to be decided sue
cess, where with merry quip and jest
the time passed only too quickly, and
the guests complimented Mrs. Hamp-
ton on her adaptability as hostess un-
der such unfavorable circumstances.

INSURANCE IN DANGER THROUGH
 ND APPROPRIATION
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. March 17.-Secre- tary Glass has asked President Wilson to set aside more than $3,0oO,0oo from the presidential war emergency fund. to cover the cost of continued opera ton of the war risk insurance bureau for the next few months, until congress can remedy it's recent failure to ap propriate funds for the bureau. The president has not yet given an answer and if he does not make the money available, the activities of the war risk bureau may be greatly curtailed.
 It was officially stated today that the bureau has funds to cover allot- ments and allowance checks to be sent out during the remainder of March and during April This really means March allowances, since the checks are dis tributed one month late. Unless some available funds are found by early in May, allotment and allowance checks may be greatly delayed.
 The funds asked of the president would be spent only for administrative expenses of physical operations of the bureau, and not for actual covering of allotments and allowance checks. With dpprOAlInately lo.UUO emplOyeS, the Du- . reaus payroll now is more than s1,- GOO, 900 a month. About 1,2O0,00 checks for allotments, allowances, in- surances and compensation now are mailed monthly. amounting in the az greSate to more than S40.000, 900 Nearly half of this sum comes from the war department and represents sol diers' allotments. There is no shortage in the funds for allotments since these are deducted from soldiers pay, but the funds available for allowances added to the allotmentS are limited
 Secretary Glass explained today that although he has not specifically rec commended early convening of congress to deal with this situation, he has pre- sented certain facts in regard to the governments financial situation, from which the president may make his owl | deductions. In this connection it waS | learned today that other cabinet mem ! bers have cabled the president reports of serious conditions in their respect i've departments, caused by failure oi congress to appropriate funds.

ASK THAT RUSSIANS APPROVE ALL ACTIONS

PARIS, March 1.-The Russian commission in Paris today submitted to the peace conference a petition signed by Sergius Sazonoff. foreign minister of the Omsk government; Prince Lvoff, former premier; Nicho- las Tschaekovsky, president of the provisional government of North Rus sia- and Basile Maklakoff, ambassador to France. The communication asked the peace conference to adopt resolu- tions declaring all institutions con- cerning the bundareich of Russia. as they existed in 1914, except Poland, shall not be decided without the con- sent of the Russian people.
 The communication also requests that institutions concerning the status Of the nationalities included within Russia, shall not be decided without the approval of the Russian people. The communication asks the peace conference to assist the various ma . tionalities to organize against anarchy by providing a provisional regime to meet financial. economic and military needs. For this purpose recognition is sought for the de facto government. which the communication says has been inspired by democratic principles and supported by their populations.

PAROLED ROBBER |S
 NOW WILLING ID GO
 STRAIGHT. HE SAYS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

OKLAHOMA CITY. okla, March r. Henry Starr. bank robber and bandit, arrested in Oklahoma City. today was paroled from the state penitentiary at McAlester by Givernor Robertson.
 Starr was in prison since 1915, when he was captured after a series of bank robberies in Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas, that were marked by ex- treme boldness.
 The capture of Starr was effected at stroud. Oklahoma in March. 1915. when Paul Curry. 16 years old, shot Starr in the hip while the bank robber and his men were escaping after robbing d bank
 Starr pleaded guilty and was sent enced to 25 years in prison, with the agreement, Governor Robertson said today, that he would be paroled within five years. The parole the governor explained today, is merely carrying out the terms of the agreement entered into by the prosecution at the time of the trial
 Starr's robberies were daylight bank raids and for months he and his men seemed to have charmed lives.
 Before coming to Oklahoma, Starr served one term in the Ohio state peni- tentiary. He was sentenced for a life term for robbing a bank, but was pa roled by President Mckinley and re- stored to citizenship by President Roosevelt. He is a highly educated Cherokee Indian and his relatives are said to be wealthy. Starr is 48 years old.
 I'm through" he said today" if for no other reason than that I know the game can't be beat I'm going to prove ] to my son that l can go straight"
 The story of Starr's marriage to the woman whose untiring efforts for his freedom have been awarded, is one of the most romantic spots in his career. In 1902 when a train was held up near Pryor Creek, Oklahoma, a girl pas senger. crazed by fear, fled into the darkness. Starr found her and took her on his horse to the robber camp. He then put her on a train to continue fner journey. Afterwards he went to Joplin. Missouri, and married her.
