INDIVIDUALITY U. $. CHILDREN
English Teacher and War Nurse Won
ders at Freedom,

American school children have Won
derful individuality and self reliance,
in the opinion OF Miss Jane Bingham,
of Observation-Disclosures England, who
has been a teacher in the Topeka
schools for a few months. With her
mother, Mrs. Jane Bingham, and sis
tiers, Mrs Agnes Wake and Mrs.
Frances Mills. Miss Bingham came to
visit her brother, DIR. Frank S. Bing-
ham, 2619 Lincoln street.
There is an atmosphere of freedom
in the American schools that English
schools do not have" Miss Bingham
said. Children are encouraged to ex-
press themselves more and as a re-
suit have greater individuality and self
reliance"
Miss Bingham was graduated from
a teachers training college in Liver
pool. She served as a nurse for two
years during the war, but her health
suffered from the work and she came
to America to recuperate. Miss Bing-
ham will teach again at Grant school
next year.

WORKS ON SPEECH
Harding Now Knows Where He
VIII Stand on Issues.
Prepares in Advance to Smash
Charges of Extravaganza.

Washington. June Ex-senator
Warren C. Harding has practically
completed collection of data on the
major issues to be touched on in his
speech accepting the Republican pres
idential nomination.
He planned to spend several hours
today drafting the speech which will
be the first formal expression of his
views.
Harding has conferred with Repub-
lican authorities on the League of Ma
tions, Mexican affairs, agriculture, fl
nance. reclamation projects and other
questions. The labor question is one
of the major ones, however, on which
he apparently collected no data, but
it is said, that he expects to confer
with labor leaders.
That Harding is trying to arm him
self against future charges of use of
large sums of money. was made ap-
parent after his conference with Will
liam B. Thompson. head of the ma
tional Republican ways and means
committee.
After talking to Harding. Thomp-
son said the nominee wished indi-
vidual contributions limited to $1,000.

Man With Decorated Body Held BY
Police for Investigation.

Seven tattoos on his arms and hands
won a nights lodging in the city Jail
for Charles Dehner, %, who was
picked up about 2 o'clock this morn
ing near the Santa Fe depot by Patrol
man Jake Kennedy. Kennedy, when
he saw the man, recalled that a man
with seven tattoos was wanted some
where for some crime, and took him
into custody.
Dehner said he came from St. Louis
went to Wichita to work in the harvest
fields and. finding all jobs filled, went
on to Mcfarland, where he worked a
few days. He was on his way back to
st. Louis when arrested. he said. Of
ficers who inspected his hands placed
little credence in his story.
On his right upper arm was a tattoo
of a japanese girl. On his right fore
arm was a tattoo several inches long,
of a woman adorned only in the folds
of monster python. Other smaller
tattoos of different designs were scat
tered over his arms and hands. The
police this afternoon had been unable
to identify him, however, as the man
wanted

MEREDITH BOOM IS STARTED
Cox Baekers Want Cabinet
Member in Second Place.
Effort Under Way Now for Pal
mer-COx Coalition.
BY L. c. MARTIN.


san Francisco. June 26.-An effort
was on foot today to form coalition
between the Palmer and Cox forces
here. with a view to preventing the
nomination Of William G.. McAdoo.
Emissaries from Palmer's head
quarters called on Z. II. Morre, Cox's
manager; George White. one of his
chief lieutenants, and Charles K.
Morris, Cox's private secretary. They
asked how COx's supporters would
view an alliance, stating that their
inquiries might be regarded as pre-
limlnary TO later negotiations.
McAdOO Forces Lcaderlcss.
II was pointed out to Cox's friends
that the McAdoo forces, being leader
less and therefore unable to make
protective deals" would be unable to
stand against a Palmer-Cox coalition.
CoX's workers replied to the over
lures that they regarded Palmer
highly bur did not think he could be
elected president if nominated AS a
vice presidential possibility, they init
mated, he might be considered. There
the matter rests for the time being.
Boom for Meredith.
In the Cox camp a boom is being
inflated for Secretary Meredith for
vice president. Meredith is a candi-
date for the presidential nomination.
Cox's people say. however. that he
would make an ideal second man on
the ticket whether Cox is the first
man or not.

ASK PHONE HIKE IN K. c. X.
Company Says Rates Must Be In
creased to Meet Expenses.

The Kansas City Telephone COM
pany. which is the old Bell and Home
companies consolidated. today filed
application in the industrial court for
an increase in rates at Kansas City.
Kan. The company asks for IS per
month for business telephones instead
of the present SIS a month rate; $3.50
for individual residence phones in
stead of SO; So a month for two party
lines instead of $3.50 and $3.50 for
four party lines instead of 50.
In the application the company
points out that the average increas sc
in salaries of employees since 1918 has
been $500 and at present a majority
of employees are clamoring for a IS
per cent increase. To meet the wage
increase and the high cost of mate
rails, the company says the increase
is absolutely necessary.
The Missouri and Kansas Railroad
company, better known as the Strang
line, an interurban running from
Kansas City to Olathe. today filed APP
plication to increase its rates between
all points. The present rate from
Kansas City to Olathe is so cents. The
company wants to charge 60 cents
and asks corresponding increase
between other stations.
