BIC LEGION meet
Four Hundred Delegates Attend
Convention Here.
National Adjutant Is Guest of
Honor.

1t would be hard to say whether
men or women are in the majority at
the first convention of the officials of
the American Legion and the Wo-
in Topeka today. There seems to be
as many women from the 100 auxil-
iaries of the Kansas department as
there are officials of the legion posts.
More than 400 delegates were regis
tered when the first session of the
convention was opened at 10 o'clock
this morning, in Memorial hall
Lemuel Bolles of Indianapolis. Ind.
the national adjutant of the legion, is
present at the convention.
A Statewide Campaign.
Plans are being laid for a statewide
campaign for new members. The le-
gion wants every man who has a serv-
ice record and an honorable discharge
in their ranks, and the women who
are eligible for membership in the
auxiliary are also to be urged to Join
it's ranks.
The two main features of the pro-
gram for which the national officers
of the Legion are working, and which
they are asking the Kansas department
TO support, are the consolidation of the
three bureaus at Washington which
are now looking after the rehabilita-
ton physically, financially, and educa-
tionally, of the former service men,
and adequate appropriations for hos
pita,ls for the treatment of men whose
health has been impaired in the
service.
Some progress is already being
made, and Colonel Galbraith. national
commander of the organization. is
/ stressing the condition of the disabled
service men as the biggest thing which
| the Legion can do at the present time.
Praises Kansas legion
Adjustant Bolles complimented the
Kansas department in it's organization
and efficiency, very highly this morn

department which is functioning better

well UP in the lead" he declared this
morning.

KILL MOVIE CENSOR ACT
Plan to Boost Salaries of Board Men,
bers Is Defeated.

After spending an entire day on the
movie censor board bill and recon-
mending the measure for passage in
committee of the whole, the house to-
day slaughtered the measure on third
reading. The final score was So votes
for the bill with so against. The plan
to boost salaries of board members
fell IL votes short of a constitutional
majority.
Argument on the movie bill was
heated and full of feeling. Friends of
the bill talked for pure pictures, better
censorship and high moral standards.
Enemies of the proposed new law
came back with cutting sarcasm.
They advised defenders of the inno-
cents to tell their troubles to the
county attorney or better still-give
a little personal attention to the car
and guidance of the boys and girls of
the state. 1t was one of the most
bitter fights of the session.
Finally after spending day on the
bill, it was reported for passage. When
the roll was called this morning. tho.
there were but So votes for the bill.
The principal feature of the bill. op-
ponents declared, was the plan to
boost salaries of the movie censors.
Work of the state board was con-
demned by house members and 1t was
behind this criticism that friends OF
the bill launched their fight for higher
salaries which they declared would re-
suit in more efficient censorship.

DEATH FROM UNKNOWN CAUSE
Coroner's Jury Reports Findings in
Inquest Into Death of Miss Foley.

The finding of the coroner's jury
which held an inquest into the death
of Miss kathleen Foley, who died at
her home. 1878 Lane street, recently,
failed to clear up the mystery when it
was made known this morning. Miss
Foley died in a manner unknown to
the jury, was the decision.
A report from DR.. F. B. DANES.
head of the chemical department of
Kansas university. that no strychnine
was found in the chocolate candy and
that no other poisons could be found
in the organs sent for analysis. was
presented to the jurymen before they
retired for deliberation. They were
out about ten minutes.
This, it was said, will probably end
the investigation into the young wom-
ans death so far as the county au-
thorities are concerned. DR.. H. L.
Clark, county coroner. and Tinkham
Veale, county attorney, said they do
not know of any further steps that
will be taken in the case in the near
future.
The fact that a small amount of
strychnine was found in the vital Or
gans by Doctor DANES was not suffi-
cient evidence, in the opinion of the
jury, to cause them to decide that she
came to ner death in this manner.

BANK IS ROBBED
State Bank of RantOuI Burned
Following Robbery.
All Records Lost in Fire Early
This Morning.

The State Bank of Rantoul. ten
miles southeast of Ottawa, was robbed
early this morning and set on fire, ac-
cording to word received at o'clock
this morning over the telephone by l..
A. Johnson, assistant state bank COM
missioner. Bank records, accounts,
everything but the contents of the
safety deposit boxes were lost in the
conflagration. and the building was
burned to the ground, according to in
/ formation received here.
The robbers entered thru a window,
according to the message to johnson,
then blew out the vault door, moved
the books and other contents on to
counters, in order to get a better
chance at the safe. They blew the
! safe, and fired the building. Residents
of Rantoul heard the explosion at 3 FL 5
O'Clock this morning. and when they
got on the scene the bank was in
flames. Entrance into the burning
building was impossible. No fire de-
partment is maintained in Rantoul, a
! town of zoo population, and the citi-
zens were helpless. The State bank is
the only bank in the town.
Amount of Loss Not Known.
I'VE have not been informed as to
| the exact amount of the loss" said
Walter E. Wilson, bank commissioner,
. but the fire evidently destroyed ev-
| Ierything in the bank, with the possible
exception of the safety deposit boxes u
J 1t is believed that the robbery was
committed by experts, the burning
! of the building being a perfect method
: of abolishing all trace of the robbers
The telephone connections were cut
and the Rantoul authorities were un-
able to call Topeka until 5 o'clock
when the connections were finally
repaired.
! W. G. Tulloss Is President.

and was one of the strong Democrat
members. He was chairman of the
house committee on banks and bank
ing in 1913. Mr.. Tulloss was unable tc
estimate the total loss, altho the safe
lcontained $4,000 in currency and valu
able papers.
