Princess Mary to
Get Along Minus
Any Royal Crest

London, Feb. 27.-Many persons
have been inquiring about Princess
Mary's coat of arms. for the details are
wanted for many purposes in relation
to her wedding. Some have even asked
for particulars of her crest, quite ig-
norant of the fact that she has none,
and as a princess never will have one,
says an authority on heraldry, writing
in the Daily Mail.
The royal arms are not hereditary.
In the form in which they are gem
orally seen they belong exclusively to
the king. Every other member of the
royal family has, or should have, a
separate warrant under the king
sign manual, assigning to them a diff
ferenced" version of the arms.
Princess Mary's coronet. as the
daughter of the king. is a golden cir
c1et. composed of crosses patee and
fleur des lys alternately, exactly like
the circ1et of the royal crown, but
without the arches. That coronet is
placed above the '1ozenge' and on
the head of the lion supporter and
around the neck of the unicorn sup
porter.

A BIG DAIRY FARM
Harold n. Rankin Has Leased
Old Dudley Farm.
Many Improvements VIII BE

Harold n. Rankin, owner of the
largest Guernsey herd in the state, has

Dudley dairy farm one-half mile south
of the city limits on the Burlingame
road. and the buildings gre being re-
modelled to accommodate the new

A new seven-room entirely modern
residence. is being constructed and
will be complete about March Is. The
farm, one of the finest in Kansas. con-
tains 18e acres, of which $50 acres is
tillable land and thirty acres is pas
ture. The barn is one of the largest
in this section of the country and con-
tains 1900 square feet of floor space.
1t will hold 500 tons of hay, is cleo
trically illuminated and piped for city
water.
Interior Finished in White.
The interior of the barn is finished
in white, and an ice house. with 75-ton
capacity, opens on two newly equipped
milk rooms with cement floors At
the rear of the barn are two 75-ton
silos. Facilities for handling the milk
are probably the best in Kansas. The
Rankin Guernsey herd is almost a
household word in Shawnee county,
and the cows have established the
record of giving three gallons of milk
daily, on an average.
The public is to be invited to a for
NAL opening of the new barn, to be
held in the near future
Rankin's success in the dairy bust
ness is almost phenomenal Born in
Brainerd, Kan, he attended school at
Emporia, and after serving some time
with the Santa Fe Railroad company
he came to Topeka eight years ago
and for three years was associated
with o. E. Walker, dairy farmer now
retired, in buying and selling milk.
He had already had six years expert
ence in the dairy business. Walker
sold his interest to Fred Caldwell,
prominent hog raiser, and after
spending a year with him, Rankin
bought the dairy herd.

AN UNUSUAL CASE
Trial in District Court Draws
Large Crowd.
Suit Brought by White Woman
Against Negroes.

The question of whether the alleged
inegitimate negro sons of a white
woman have right to inherit INC
property of their father was being
threshed out today before jury in
Judge George Whitcomb's division OF
the district court.
The case, unusual III its general
aspects. holds a peculia< interest Tor
residents of the northeastern corner
of Shawnee county. where the prin-
c.pals live, and the court room was
crowded with spectators from that
community.
The suit was brought by Mrs. Hattie
Noting, a white woman, on behalf of
her two negro sons, Melvin Noting.
19. and Oscar Noting, 16. against
Thomas Holt. Myrtle Smith, Bessie
Porter and Lucretia Barber, all ne
groes who are now in possession OF
about 10 acres of land lying in the
northeast corner of Shawnee county
and the southeast corner of jackson
county. Mrs. Noting asks a one
fourth interest in the land for each OF
her boys.
Owned by a Negro.
According to attorneys in the case,
the land was originally owned by
James Holt. a fun blooded negro who
came TO Shawnee county fifty years
ago and acquired the land tract by
tract. Twenty-Five years ago, accord
Ing 70 agreed statements the 4NOlL-
ings, with a large family of children,
came TO the county in a covered wagon
and were given permission by Holt to
OCCUPY a small house on one of hisl
parcels of land. Holt was an agricul-
turist, and hired many men and wOm-
on, both white and negro. to work in
his fields. Here the claims of the two
parties separate.
Mrs Noting claims that she worked
in the fields, often side by side with
Holt. Her husband, she contends,
was in poor health, and for a period
Of many years Holt worked with her
in the fields and visited her in their
home. Then the first negro baby was
born. When its color and blood werG
determined, according to the state
ments, all the Noting children who
were old enough to shift for them
selves left home. Three years later
the second negro baby was born to
Mrs. Noting. according to the state
mcuJs. Attorneys for the two negro
youths told the jury in their opening
statements this morning that the boys
were openly and notoriously recog-
Eized by James Holt as his sons.

NO DECISION ON ALLEY CASE
City Commission Having Tr0ubIe in
Esta bllshing a Grade.

ESbdDllSiliIlS IL OGdue
Another chapter was written this
morning in the serial story of the
establishment of the grade of the alley
between Kansas avenue and Quincy
street, running from Tenth avenue to
Eleventh street.
And the chapter seems no nearer
the end of the serial
A special meeting of the city COM
mission was held to consider the re-
Adamson and w. T. Dawson, a COM
mittee to report the damages and
benefits accruing from the changing
of the grade of the alley under a re-
cent ordinance.
The appraisers report stated that
they did not feel competent to assess
the damages and benefits as they were
appointed to do. In lieu, they pre-
sented the suggestion that the alley be
graded and paved according to the
permanent grade "a mean grade
worked out from the grades of the
streets surrounding.
The report was ordered filed, and
the appraisers discharged.
Then began an open discussion of
the status of the alley. participated in
by all the city commissioners and by
John Newell, a property owner on the
west side of the alley in question. In
addition to Newell there were four
other property owners present at the
commission meeting. but they did not
enter the discussion.
Newell argued for the placing of
the alley grade on the permanent
grade, in accordance with the sugges-
ton of the appraisers committee.
1t was pointed out that the estab-
lishment of the permanent grade
would leave the rear end of the prop
erty facing on Quincy street up in
the air" The possibility of having to
build a retaining wall and indemnify
the Quincy street property owners for
this condition faces the commission.
The attitude of the commission re-
mains as it has been in the past. In
addition to the difficulty of achieving
a compromise between the property
owners on the two sides of the alley,
the municipal legislation on the grade
has become involved in such a mass
of red tape that it is almost impossi-
BILE to determine what status the case
is in at the present time.
