wounded in the war and the effects
of these wounds were, according
to the defense, partially RESPONSE

save him, headed by Judge Ben

SENATE PASSES IT
Compromise kindergarten Bill
Favored by Upper House.
Boards of Education May In
stall Course in Schools.

The senate committee on cities of
the first class has recommended for
passage a compromise kindergarten
bill by Senator Fisher, which provides
that the boards of education in cities
% the first class may install free kin
dergartens in the public schools if
they receive petitions from enough
patrons of the schools.
The Fisher bill which provided for
the increase in salary of the coroner
was killed by the same committee.
While the committee on fees and sal
aries. declaring that they were OPP
posed to that type of legislation, re-
ferred the Fisher bill which allows for
the increase in salaries for the clerks
and deputies of the county officials or
Shawnee county, to the committee or
the whole senate. The fact that the
bill is local in its nature. saved it from
being killed in the committee.
Refer Taxation Bill.
The Taylor bill for the taxation of
Intangible property, which had been
referred to the committee on assess
Inents and taxation. was returned to
the senate by that committee with the
Recommendation that it be referred
again to the committee on the judi
ciary.
The same committee administered
the axe to Senator Green's bill for the
repeal of the existing poll tax law OF
the state, without ceremony or bene-
fit of clergy. The poll tax question
was fought out thoroly on the floor of
the senate during the discussion OF the
Skidmore bill, earlier in the session,
and the attempts of the cities OF the
first class to free themselves from the
tax have been fruitless thus far. The
men from the smaller cities and the
rural districts want the tax them
selves, at least the majority of them
do. and they also want the "city Eel
lers" to pay it.
Kill Gates Measure.
The Gates bill for the election OF
a tax commission which would super
sede the present state board of equal
iZation was also killed in the com
Inittee on assessments and taxation,
according to the last report of that
committee.
The judiciary committee staged
quite as vigorous a program against
the measures which had been referred
to it, as did the committee on assess
1nents and taxation.
The judiciary committee killed the
children'S code commission bill by
Senator Docking which regulated the
adoption and the registration of chill
dren. They also killed the O'Brien
bill which would have provided a Sc
we're penalty for any motorist involved
in an accident who did not stop, give
his name and address, and render
every assistance possible, aTter the ac-
cident. Another O'Brien bill restrict
ing the use of advertising signs and
bill boards along highways, especially
at railroad crossings and on bridges,
was killed by the same committee.
The judiciary committee, however.
let the Hegler bill, which permits
county or city health officers to draw
on the stocks of alcoholic liquor con-
fiscated by the police departments. for
such of the liquor as they wish to use
for medicinal purposes, get off with
few unimportant amendments.

HUNT new CHAMP
Tex Richard Has Been Holding
Elimination Contests.
Season About Closed and Only
One Uncovered.

New York, Feb. 23.-All winter Tex
Richard has been running elimination
events to find new fistic champion
for every class.
In a little more than a month, the
season will close and only one cham
pion had been uncovered. The other
titleholders of the fistic family look
good for another season at least.
Jack Dempsey. Benny Leonard and
Jack Britton are in a class without
equal.
Johnny Wilson and Johnny Kilbane
are being rated as sure losers the first
time they meet a good contender But
where are the good contenders?
Joe Lynch also is one of these cham
pions at whom the old-timers look
with sigh and wish for the past But
Joe is out of danger also.
The first elimination contests
brought out Joe Lynch as the best
contender in the bantamweight class
and he went out and took the cham
pionship away from Pete Herman.
But the contenders in the other
classes are a sad lot.
Benny Leonard was the target Of 4
TRADE from Lew Tender, Willie jack
son and others until he proved he could
make 135 pounds. Then the contenders
wanted $4,000 to be given a chance
for the title.
Until very recently. Johnny Wilson
was condemned for being nonfighter.
Recently. however, he has been beg
ging Mike O'Dowd for a bout and the
former champion is strangely silent.
Billy Defoe and Sammy Seiger are
said to be the best of the featherweight
contenders. No wonder Kilbane laughs
when tears are shed about his future.
Jack Britton can feel the same way
when the Examinations put the stamp
of "best contender on Jack Perry,
