tiers for Likeness of Washington.
Plans for the erection of a bronze
statue of George Washington on the
state house grounds here are being
made by the Sons and Daughters of
the America Revolution. The statue
would be a companion piece to the
statue of Abraham Lincoln now on the
L capitol grounds.

lcial joint meeting in Topeka late in
September to perfect plans for the
project. 1t is proposed that all Kan
sas school children contribute a nick
ell or a dime toward a fund of $4,000
to purchase the statue Contributions
would be made on the next anniver-
sary q Washington's birth, February
%, 1922, which would be observed
with special celebrations thruout the
state. Washington statues have been
erected at five other state capitals, it
is said.

state board of health, is chairman of
the committee arranging the meeting
of the two patriotic orders. A speak
er of national reputation is being
sought. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. as
sistant secretary of the navy, was in
vited to make the principal address
but declined because of other engage
ments.
Another purpose of the meeting
here will be to make plans for enlarg-
ing membership of the Sons of the

gible who are not now members, ac-
cording to Doctor Crumbine The
Sons organization has but one chap
ter in Kansas, tie one at Topeka, but

WILL ABIDE BY RULING
Cadmean Chautauqua Company to Ac-
cept Ruling of Court.

The Cadmean Chautauqua company
does not intend to fight the order of
the child welfare section of the indus
trial court which prevents Dixie Doll
from appearing at the North Topeka
chautauqua, according to C. Benz.
Franklin, head of the company, today.
THE chautauqua is a community
builder, not an institution that an
tagonizes the laws of the land, and
rather than go against the interpreta-
ton that has been laid down, we will
simply put another good number on
the program and go ahead" said
Franklin.
TT is to be regretted that Dixie Doll
can not entertain Topeka and other
Kansas audiences. The company itself
is sorry that it can not present her, for
she invariably wins her way to the
hearts of the folks she entertains by
her cleverness, ability, and the way
she so thoroly enjoys her work. To-
pekans would have enjoyed her i'm
mensely," said E. w. Carson, of the
Cadmean company.
The date was held by the company
for Dixie Doll and her sister and
mother, who form the personnel for
their part of the program. until the
last minute in the hope that the order
would be reversed. The law states ex-
plicitly that it applies to theaters, and
the company considers it a question
whether it could be held to apply to
.chautauquas. 1t is technically labor

NO TRACE OF Boys BODY
jerome Hartman Was Drowned in

Kaw River July T.
No trace has ever been found of the
body of Jerome Hartman, years old,
who was drowned in the Kaw river
the afternoon of July 7. Efforts to
find the body at the time were un-
awaiting. The boy sank while in swim
ming just east of the Santa Fe rail-
road bridge, and due to a delay in
spreading the alarm, it was fully two
hours before help came.
By that time the river had taken a
sudden rise and it was supposed that
the body had been washed down
stream, but hope was entertained that
after a time it would rise to the sur
face and be found. AS no reports of
this kind have been received from any
point down the river, it is believed
that the body became buried in SAND
in the bottom of the river. The boy
was the son of Mrs. John Schaffer,
