Y sSS@# penetrated to

search of q mythical wealthy In
dian tribe. 1t was not again Wis.,
ited, however, by white men until
nearly one hundred and seventy
five gears later, when the
French in Louisiana sent out an
expedition to investigate the re-
mote portions Of what was then
their territory. Most Of the pres
ent State Of Kansas was q part
of the Louisiana Purchase and
so passed from French hands
to the United States in 1SO3.
A small additional part was
later added in 1850, being ceded
by Texas.
The Lewis and Clark party
traversed this region in 1901,
and Lieutenant Pike passed
through Kansas two years later.
Kansas history really becomes
interesting in the middle of the
century, when the slavery agita-
tion gave it the maine of "Blecd-
ing Kansas" 1t had been an I'M
organized territory sjuce 1921,
at which time 1t had been con-
Sidercd a portion Of the Terri
tory of Missouri. According to
the Missouri Compromise, if
Kansas became state it could
not be slavery state. The Op-
: position of the South was so
strong the Kansas-NebraSka bill
was passed in 1854 making this
vital question optional with the

COST OF LIVING IN
FRANCE MUCH HIGHER
THAN PRIOR TO WAR

Paris, March 1S.-The French
householders are still paying more
than four times the pre-war prices
for the necessities of life, although
there has been a big decline in the
cost of living.
The French government has
made public figures comparing the
living cost in France with those in
the United States as given by
Bradstreets and for Great Britain
as given by the Statist. These show
that the peak of the cost of living
in all three countries was attained
in April, 1920. Taking the prices
of 1913 as normal, or 100 per cent,
the prices of necessities in April
last year are given as 1918 per
cent in France; 225.1 in the
United States and 31S.1 in Great
Britain.
According to the government
figures these percentages had de-
clined in December last to 434 per
cent in France and 243.5 in Great
Britain. The figure for the United
States in November last was given
as 1919 per cent. The December
figures We're not given. Most of
the French newspapers find the icy
of the reduction in the cost of liv-
ing tempered by knowledge that it
is still more than four times higher
than in 1913 and that it is accent
uated by much more unemploy-
ment.

A SECOND PROBE OF
1919 WORLD SERIES :
STARTS IN CHICAGO
(By The Associated Press.l

Chicago, March 1S.-A second
investigation into the 1919 worlds
series, which Chicago White Sox
players We're charged with throw
ing to Cincinnati, was started today
by States Attorney Robert e.
Grove. before the Cook county
grand jury.
Mr.. Grove told the jurors, in
outlining his plans, that he would
bring them new evidence which
would justify reindictment of the
men whose cases were dropped or
taken off the court call yesterday
and also would incriminate men
not indicted at the inquiry.
He refused to say what new evil
dence he would offer or what men
it would incriminate, but declared
that the public might be more
at the result of this in
vestigation than it was at the orig
inal indictments.
Mr. Grove planned to call B. 3,
johnson before the jury today, but
could not reach the American
league president. Mr.. johnson,
however, will be an early witness,
the states attorney said. Today
he merely outlined the case to the
jury.
Mr.. Grove said he would cont
plete his presentation of evidence
in about a week and that the jury
then would be in a position to de-
eide whether to indict.
