t. B. COSTS KANSAS TWO MILLION
Decrease in Earning Capacity Alone
Amounts to This, Says Report.

The annual loss in Kansas from
tuberculosis is 100000 from de-
crease in earning capacity alone, ac-
cording to T. D. futile, epidemiologist
of the state board of health.
.Basing his estimate on a study of
1000 deaths from tuberculosis in
which complete report records are on
file in the office of the board. Doctor
futile lists the results under three
heads: the influence on society"
the financial loss" and the health
hazard
LAS we have about 1000 deaths
from tuberculosis every year, the re-
suits of this study fairly represent the
annual, social, economic and health
loss in the state" said Doctor futile.
From social standpoint. the re-
suits were: 336 widowers with 554
motherless children under twenty
years of age; 21S widows with 396
fatherless children under twenty years
of age; 2S2 deaths among employees
single men and women. depriving 31s
mothers and fathers of their aid in
supporting the family.

new YORK JURY GETS BUSY
VIII Investigate Attempt to
"Fixo 1920 Series.
Abe Attell Is Cleared of Com
plicity, Says Attorney.

New York, Oct. 4.-Action against
any gamblers who may have laid plans
for an attempt to fix the world
series, beginning tomorrow. was re-
jury today by County Judge Norman
S. Dyke of Brooklyn, In charging the
jury.
THE members Of thee Brooklyn
team have been found above sus-
picion," he said. IF it can be found
true, however, that plans were laid to
try to corrupt them, then those who
were concerned in those plans should
be brought to justice and punished.
We want clean sport in Brooklyn and
we are happy to support and en-
courage 1t, but we will not stand by
and let any class of parasites besmirch
the name of our city by corrupting our
national game"
William ]. Fallon. attorney for Abe
Attell, denied today the former
featherweight boxing champion had
any part in the fixing" of the 1919
world series.
Abe Attell Was ''Piclxled.'
According to Fallon, AttelI met
Bill" Burns, former major league
pitcher, here when Abe was slightly
under the influence of liquor" he said
Burns told Abe he had made a propo-
sition' to Arnold Rothstein, New York
sporting man, to fix the series and
mat IHOAilSLClI IldQ dDQS0Q MIN over
the telephone"
Then, Fallon said, Burns asked At
tell to use his influence with Roth
stein, and Abe had the same expert
ence, Rothstein "bawling him out for
making such a proposition"
Fallon said this ended AttelTs con-
nection with the alleged plot.
Reopen Chicago Probe.
Chicago. Oct. 4.-Charges involving
two new major league clubs in connec-
ton with the recent expose of crooked
baseball will be taken up with the
Cook county grand jury when it re-
sumes its probe tomorrow of the fix
ing of the 1919 world series.
The Investigators also will take up
the charge that the August 81 game
here between Philadelphia and the
Cubs was fixed. Allegations that
games between the Giants and Gin
cinnati in 1919 were crooked also will
be considered.
John J.. McGraw, manager of the
Giants; Benny Kauff and Fred Toney.
members of the Giants, were expected
to testify regarding attempts to bride
New York players.

the movement considering the pres
ent rate of exchange, these wages rep
resented-less than one dollar, Ameri-
can money.
Wanted Dollar Per Day.
1.-THE Italian metal workers asked
their employers for a. wage increase of
four lire daily, which would bring up
the highest wage to what was equiva-
lent to one dollar. The employers.
who during the war made enormous
sums. refused the request, claiming
profits of their establishments did not
leave a sufficient margin. The men
fearing a lockout, refused to leave the
factories, and in the absence of pro-
prietors and technical staffs under
took to carry on the plants themselves
Extremists among the workmen
tried to take advantage of the situa-
ton. In order to incite their COM
panions to turbulence they tried to
force what was purely economic up
heaval into politics. but succeeded in
causing only isolated episodes of vio-
lence. The large majority of the men,
as well as the responsible leaders of
the Confederation of Labor, were true
to their program of maintaining the
dispute strictly in the economic field.
Avoided Civil War.
MANY persons volunteered advice
to the government as to its using force
and employing soldiers, cannon and
machine guns for what they consid-
cred the necessity of making the rights
of property respected. Considering
the fact there were more than $780,
900 workers employed and over 500
factories occupied, an attempt to dis
lodge the men by force would have
plunged the country into civil war.
1.-The number of those killed was
about dozen, including some victims
of clashes between red and white
workmen. Now I rejoice to say work

have been evacuated and the men are
cooperating with the owners and
technical staffs to set things going
once more. We thus have succeeded
in satisfactorily settling one of the
worst economic conflicts in industrial
history without grave~fosses and have
initiated what is most important-bet-
ter feeling between employers and
men.
Socialism Set Back.
1.-The present arrangement I firmly
believe probably has postponed the
advent of socialism inr Italy for per-
haps a century, and certainly for fifty
years.
What have italian workmen gain
ed? Larger wages, amounting alto7
gether to one dollar per day; one
weeks holiday in year and participa-
ton in a commission composed of
masters and men which will present to
the government the project for bill
to be passed by parliament enabling
the men to check up on financial and
technical condition of factories.
I'm other countries the movement
has been almost entirely misunder-
stood, if not deliberately pisrepre-
scented. 1t has been CALLED control of
workmen over factofies.' This evil

ton of the Italian word 'controllo'
which means notification, not domina-
ton, of business"

SWEDEN IN TOPEKA DISTRICT
Women's Foreign Missionary Society

WomcnS Foreign MISSIONARY society
to Hold Convention at Salina.
Salina, Kan. Oct. 4-The conven-
ton of the Topeka district Women's
Foreign Missionary society which will
be held here this week beginning
Thursday should be one of the most
interesting gatherings of church
people ever held in Salina.
There will be several hundred adj
vocates of missionary work in attend
ance, among them several persons of
international note and people who
have spent many years in the foreign
fields. The Topeka district comprises
seven states and the country of Swed-
en-. Many of the foreign missionaries
are home on furiough. Mrs. Robert
Thompson of Dallas. Tex, gospel
singer, will have charge of the music.
The Rev. Frank Heron Smith. a
native Kansan, a graduate of the state
university and of the Garrett Bible
school, and who has spent twelve
years in the foreign service in Japan,
will be one of the most noted mis-
sionaries here. He will also preach

is the daughter of the Rev. Maurice
Bamford, a Methodist minister, we'll

The Rev. A. A. Parker. another
native Kansan who has spent fifteen

son, also a missionary, home on fur
10, will also be in attendance.
Among the ether attractions of the
meeting will be a debate in which
students of eight Kansas colleges will
participate. Eight girls from the Nc
Pherson college will give a playlet.
The question has been asked why
the country of Swe@en is a part of
the Topeka branch of this missionary
society, and the answer shows the
entrance of this country into the dis
trict dates back to 1908. In that year
a young Swedish girl, a Miss Gabriel
son. was an active worker in church
in Colorado and she decided to go to
the foreign field In India, but upon
reaching her native land, she was in
duced to remain there and organize
a society among her own people. She
gave up the idea of going to India, and
remained in Sweden, where she has
built up a strong society.
