Community CHEST
fund IS FAVORED BY
SIX ORGANIZATIONS

Further action toward establishing
community chest fund in this city
was taken at meeting OF represen-
tatives of civic organizations, held in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms, K.
of P. building at o'clock Friday eve
ming.
Six leading civic organizations
including the Social Service Bureau,
the Richmond Community Service, the
Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary
club, the Red Cross and the Salvation
Army, sent representatives. who ex-
pressed themselves favorably toward
the plan of putting on united cam
paign for funds.
In addition, one or two other organi-
zations while not definitely commit
ting themselves, requested more infor-
nation in order that the proposition
might be acted on more intelligently
by their members.
To Meet November 80.
The next meeting in connection with
this movement will be held Nov. 80, at
which time, it is expected, a definite
expression will have been received
from all organizations.
Representative of the Margaret
Smith home, in presenting its decis-
ion not to come into the movement,
Friday evening, said that because of
the recent gift 10 the home by Mrs.
John Dougan, they did not feel that
the home would find it necessary to
ask the public for funds this year.
Definite action has not been taken
by the Union Mission. The Day
Nursery will not take part in the
movement. No report was received
from the Kiwanis club.
Further consideration of the matter
has been taken by the Home for the
Friendless, and the Y NJ. c. A. Their
decisions will be received at the meet
ing of Nov. so.

Clearly, only one could fit into the,
hole, and that one was Brunton. The
girl must have waited above. Brunton
then unlocked the box, handed up the
contents presuma bly-since they were
not to be found-and then-and then
what happened?
What smouldering fire of vengeance
had suddenly sprung into fame in this
passionate Celtic woman's soul when
she saw the man who had wronged her
-wronged her, perhaps, far more than
we suspected-in her power? Was it
a chance that the wood had slipped
and that the stone had shut Brunton
into what had become his sepulchre?
Had she only been guilty of silence as
to his fate? Or had some sudden blow
from her hand dashed the support
away and sent the slab crashing down
into it's place? Be that as it might,
seemed to see that womans figure
still clutching at her treasure trove
and flying wildly up the winding stair,
with her ears ringing perhaps with the
muffled screams from behind her and
with the drumming of frenzied hands
against the slab of stone which was
choking her faithless lovers life out
Here was the secret of her blanch-
ed face, her shaken nerves, her peals
of hysterical laughter on the next
morning. But what had been in the
box? What had she done with that?
OF course, it must have been the old

Question for Arms Farley.
Three Nations at Table Owe q.
S. $4,000, 100000.

Washington. oct. 1.-The admins
tration is distinctly opposed to having
the forthcoming conference on limita-
ton of armament take up adjustment
of foreign loans.
While, generally speaking, the
United States is willing to discuss any
question which has a bearing on arma-
ment and international peace and sta
bility high officials of the administ-a-
ton feel it would be a mistake to ir-
troduce such momentous issues into
the program of a conference called
primarily to limit armament and se--
tie disputed questions in the Pacific.
No official would speak for publica-
ton on the matter today, but it was
made plain the United States looks
with distinct disfavor on the agitation
now being conducted in certain quar-
tiers abroad TO bring up the question
of Indebtedness next November.
It is the opinion of officials here
the conference will have its hands full
in dealing with armament limitation
and settling the controversial ques-
lions of the Pacific without undertake
ing the settlement of such colossal
matter as the foreign loans.
Three countries to be represented
owe the United States approximately
nine billion dollars. Great Britain
owes $4,000, 900, 00G; France, $1,000
100000 and Italy $4,000, 100000.

THE HOLLAND Concert Series for
the coming season offers six splendid
musical attractions, including Alberto
Salvi. conceded to be the worlds
greatest harpist; Arthur Middleton,
an excellent baritone, and a noted
oratorio singer; Anna Case, already
a great favorite in Topeka; the Zoell-
ner String Quartet, a talented combi-
nations of two violins, a viola and
cello; Nellie and Sara Kouns, who
need no recommendation to their
home folks; and Vasa Prihoda, a Bo
hemian violiniSt.
Prihoda was playing for his meals
in a cafe in Milan, Italy. He was
heard there the Christmas of 1913 by
Toscanini, who was so interested in the
artist that he Immediately arranged
concert for him. Prihoda was an
immediate success, and won no end of
praise in this country last season.
After hearing him Toscanini said, IF
Paganini played as well, certainly he
could not have played any better"
The first concert of the Holland
series to be given at the auditorium,
November 2, by Alberto SAW, VIII be
revelation to Topeka people.
The harp has always been consider
ed an instrument of tinkling sweetness
but in the hands of Salvi it becomes
one of brilliance, volume and unlimit-
ed possibilities.
A Topeka woman who has heard
SaIvi echoes the opinion of The Phil
adelphia Public Ledger musical COM
mentator, who says of the harpist
music, TT is at one time stringed
quartet, later a small orchestra.
Salvi in his playing is said to have
