CHILD WELFARE
THEME AT WORKS
BOARDS SESSION
West Kansas Street Women
Say Concern Only an
Excuse.

An argument over which was the more
interested in the welfare Of children, their
mothers or the board of public works,
developed today when a delegation OF
women residing in West Kansas street
between Meridian and Illinois streets
asked that new sidewalks being laid in
the section be placed next to the curb in
stead of next to the property line.
The delegation, led by Mrs. Guy
Braughton, &c West Kansas street, in
sisted that the street would not be beauti-
fed if the board had the sidewalks placed
on the property line so as to leave i've
foot lawn space between the sidewalk
and street. Some people would care for
+be lawn spaces and others would not and
the result would be an unsighuy hodge
podge. the women declared.
TELL WHY CURB,
WALKS DENIED.
Mark Fl. Miller, president, and Richard
A. Shirley. member OF the board, declared
that the board had adopted the policy Oh
ordering walks next to the property lines
because it prevented children from dash
ing directly off of the sidewalks into
streets in front of moving vehicles.
Were not going to be responsible for
the murder of children and that's just
what it would amount to-" said Mr..
Miller.
Mrs. Braughton replied that she sus-
pected she and other mothers were just
as much interested in the welfare OF
children as the board and that she
thought the board was giving this rea-
son Just as an excuse for not giving the
property owners what they wish. She
said that if she had had time she would
have had more property owners in to
tell the board what they wished.
1T doesn't make any different If every
one of them came in it wouldn't change
us in this" said Mr.. Miller There S
no use talking any more about this.
PAY FOR SOMETHING
THEY DON'T WANT.
"Why should person have something
they don't want?'' inquired Mrs. Braugh-
ton THE property owners pay for these
walks. Why can't they have them where
they want them"
The board was immovable.
As the women turned to go Mrs. Eliza
beth Foxlow, widow, residing at so West
Kansas street, remarked:
"Wait until Shank gets in, Wen ge,
what we want
The members of the board laughed
aloud and the women departed in indig-
nation.
If we had known the board was going
TO have those walks put next to the
property line we never would have peu-
toned for them" said Mrs. Braughton
Mrs. Grace Denton. II West Kansas
street. agreed with her. when you're
from tie south side you can't expect &c
get any consideration, anyway"

MADE
IN CONFERENCE
ON IRISH PEACE
Delegates Hint Patch-up of
Differences With AS
SOciateS.

LONDON, Oct. 14-Deinite progress
toward peace has been made by the Irish
conference.
This announcement was made today
when the subcommittee reported to the
delegates at 10 Downing street, the result
of their conversations. Arthur Griffith
and the other Sim Fein plenipotentiaries
drove to the Premier's residence a few
minutes before IL o'clock. Only a small
crowd of Irish sympathizers was on hand
to greet them. After today's session the
work of the conference will consist large
Iy in negotis tons between subcom-
mittees.
The session lasted less than two hours.
The next meeting Of the conference was
scheduled for 8 80 Monday afternoon.
The time was arranged so as not to con-
1ict with the ceremonies incident to the
decoration of the unknown warriors tomb
by American Ambassador Harvey.
Both sides agreed it was futile to try
TO fix responsibility for violations of the
truce and agreed to center their atten-
ton on making effective the truce in the
future
Sim Fein headquarters explained that
the statement attributed to Michael Col
Inns, after yesterdays session I'VE are
not coming back') was, if made, "Only
Mickey's little joke"
The subcommittee, it was said, have
made definite progress toward an under
standing regarding observance of the
truce.
Despite the Official optimism, however,
it was felt the demand Of Sim Fem for
release of the prisoners would cause diff
fcult es before the conference had pro
ceeded much further
Preliminary discussions, 1t was said,
might be cleared up by the first of next
week, anG the practical work of ham
mering out an amicable Irish solution
might be expected to commerce Monday
