Genuine Reception for Kansan When
He Takes Office.

tribute was paid ex-Congressman

celient work in his congressional ca

Democrats alike. The retiring Kansas
delegation as well as all the new mem
berS and dozens of other house mem

CONFERENCE is OVER
Governors and Mayors Go on Record
Favoring Improvements.


Washington, March 6.-Governors
and mayors returned today to their
homes after the three-day conference
here called by direction of President
Wilson to discuss labor and business
conditions before adjournment.
The conference went on record as
favoring the carrying out by the rail-
roads of a program of improvements
not only as an aid to the transporta-
ton but also to alleviate unemploy-
ment, the reduction of freight rates on
building materials, and the settlement
of government contracts and the lift
ing of all restrictions on business and
industry at an early date.
The conference also denounced all
radical doctrines, sanctioned govern
ment approval of price schedules, but
opposed fixing of costs, and recon-
mended continuation by the govern
ment of assistance of private business.
After heated debate the conference
by a viva voce vote defeated a minor
ity report of the committee on resolu-
tons recommending that congress be
called Immediately in extra session.
Mayors attending the meeting at a
special session last night laid plans
for an association of mayors to meet
in Washington each year in February.

Absence of Carroll and Ans

Several Members Explain Atti-

The Republican members of the
Kansas senate are perfectly willing for
Governor Allen to have a farm ten
antry constitutional amendment. That
is, all of them are willing except Sena-
tors Getty and Delaney, and possibly
Senator Satterthwaite. And, when the
resolution that has been recommended
by the judiciary committee comes up
under a special order tomorrow morn
ing at 1880 it seems certain that it
will get the required two-thirds ma
jority unless some unforeseen SIAM
pede is started.
1t is asserted by the Allen support
ers that enough Republicans have
pledged themselves to vote for the
farm tenantry resolution to insure it's
adoption. In this list they include
Senator Satterthwaite, who admits he
is not in favor of the scheme, but feels
that he is partly obligated to the gov
eTnor to support it. Satterthwaite says
he has not fully made up his mind to
support the measure, despite this par
tial promise.

A TREMENDOUS JOB TO IN.
CREASE OUR PRODUCTION.

In this emergency We have tried to
do our part. We secured the country
for raw materials-our Traffic Man
ager spent his days riding freight cars
ilI-we shipped raw materials in car
load lots by express and pleaded with
manufacturers to increase their de-
Iiveries to US.
But it was slow process. Some of
our raw materials are produced only
in Japan-supplies in this country
were low and shipments required
three months to come from the Far
East. Then we had to recruit and
train skilled labor. We brought our
statesmen into the factory and trained
them as foremen. We invented new
machinery, and managed to install it
on Christmas day, so as not to inter-
fere with our daily production.

There were many who believed that

Low this was far from being the case.
He said that while the committee had
lost members In service, the work had
been kept up. most of the correspond
ence being attended to my himself.
His letter reads in part as follows:

o-morrow morning at the 9TH Regi-
mcnt Armory the national indoor
championships will open, and 1t isn't
such far cry from this tourney
until the stars are battling for ~
various outdoor titles.

Vincent Richards OF this city. These
two lads have had frequent tussles
on the courts during the past two
seasons, and as they are on opposite
sides Of the draw It is not unlikely
that they will clash in the final for
the indoor honors.
Tilden and Richards are the doubles

only recently they faced each other

looked like a sure winner, as he had the

record, won the match, three sets TO

In the tourney mentioned Richards
performed brilliantly, eliminating such
men as Kumagae, the Jap; Wallace
johnson, the latter having previously
defeated =. Howard Voshell, the pres
ent indoor champion.
In the early rounds Richards has
au easy row to hoe, as he shouldn't
have any trouble removing from his
path such men as Fred Anderson jr.,

Either G.. Carlton Shafer or Craig

the final, but the chances are they
won't.
While Richards is encountering the
above mentioned players Tilden is
facing Cecil Donaldson, Leonard
Beckman, and then Voshell.
The Tilden-V match will be a
sort OF anti-climax to the tourney,
and II Voshell wins his work will be
