DEATH ENDS STORMY
POLITICAL CAREER OF
WELL-KNOWN KANSAN
Switched From Republican
to Democratic Side
and Back Again.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 23-Mayor
Frank Cromwell and eight former
mayors of Kansas City, will act rs
here Monday afternoon of Webster
Davis, 81, former mayor of Kansas
City and assistant secretary of the
interior in the Mckinley administra-
ton. Mr.. Davis died in local hos
pital yesterday of heart disease. The
body will lie in state at the Kansas
City Elks' Club from Sunday noon
until the hour of the funeral.
Mr.. Davis had a stormy political
career. Affiliated most Of his life
with the Republican party, he turned
temporarily to the Democratic fold
because of a divergence Of opinion
regarding recognition Of the Beers in
their fight with the British. He
seconded the nomination of William
J. Bryan at the Democratic national
convention here in 1000 and in a
brilliant Grafton denounced the Re
publican party. In 1904, however, he
again was campaigning for the Re-
pubiicans.
At the time of the Boer war, Mr..
III EOOutu <tIllNd anu
wrote a book of his experiences. In
recent years he practiced law in Chi
cago and lectured on the chautauqua
platform. He was taken ill February
s last. and Immediately returned to
his old home.
Mr.. Davis served as mayor Of Kan
sas City from 1894 to 1896. He had
many friends and not a few enemies.
In the course of the strenuous pre-
election campaign, he staggered into
hall where he was to speak, flourish
ed his hat through which shot had
been fired and said an attempt had
been made to assassinate him. Politi
cal enemies scoffed at the story. DR..
Maclay Lyon, a friend of Mr.. Davis,
related, however, that Davis told him
last summer how he was called to

Only Big Families Need Apply

Lynn, Mass, Feb. 2s.-ordinarily
it goes thus:
Landlord: "Any children?'
Applicant (meekly): "Y-yes, we
have one"
Landlord: 81 never take children.
But Lynn is setting n new example.
Here it goes thus:
Landlord: ANY children"
Applicant (mmekly) Sorry, but
we have four"
Landlord: "Can't let you have the
place. We never rent to families with
less than six children
Mrs. Vincent f. Gregg is RESPONSE
bic for the new plan. She has bought
five houses and is negotiating for the
purchase of others in order that the
parents of large families may have
homes. Rental advertisements of Ecr
properties state that families with less
than six children need not apply.
Mrs. Gregg has won the name "the
little mother of Lynn" through her
work as head of the Lynn Neighbor-
hood House, gathering place for chill
dren from the city's melting pot dis
trict.
Recently, in connection with her
work, she ran across the mother of 4
family of seven, discouraged and
broken-hearted because she could not
find a home. Landlords all looked
upon her children as criminals, she
said. and she had been turned away
from place after place until, so
wearicd that she could not tramp
farther. she had given up in despair.
1t set Mrs. Gregg to thinking. She
began investing her money in houses
and advertised for big-family tenants.
More than 100 persons answered
her first ad. In the first three cot.
tages she rented. the tenants had
total of 23 children.
81 reviewed letters almost every day
letters asking aid-from
heads Of households" Mrs. Gregg
says.
Landlords who turn children away
from their houses are inhuman. 1t
is O criminal practice which society
must correct before its results are
felt throughout the nation"
Mrs. Gregg in 1907 founded the

FORDNEY SAYS NOW
THAT MELLON DOES
Sc NOT FAVOR BONUS
Talk About Paying 1t With
War Debt Came From
misunderstanding.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Soldiers
bonus advocates in the House were
given a glimmer of hope yesterday by
Chairman Fordney Of the ways and
means committee, author of the meas
ure vetoed by President Harding, but
it proved short-liveG.
Mr.. Fordney, addressing the House
on the British uebt settlement, said
Secretary Mellon had told him that
he had no objection to the use Of the
money received from the foreign debt.
principal and interest, in financing n
bonus for former service men after
the money had been obtained.
Mr.. Mellon, when his attention was
called to Mr.. TOrdncy's remarks, said
he had no recollection of having made
the statement, and it was reiterated
at the treasury that he adhered TO
his position that the government was
Obliged TO apply at least the interest
from the debt to the retirement of
Liberty bonds.
The treasury secretary communicated
with Mr.. Fordney by telephone, and
the Michigan representative stated
that evidently he had misuI derstood
Mr.. Mellon and would slike his re-.
marks from the record of the House
proceedings.

Why Stay Fat?
You Can Reduce

The answer Of most fat people is
that It is too hard, to troublesome
and too dangerous to force the
weight down. Marmola Prescrin-
ton Tablets overcome all these diff
ficultics. They are absolutely harm
less, entail no dieting or exercise.
and have the added advantage of
cheapness. A case is sold at one
dollar by ell druggists the world over,
or send the price direct to the Mar
mola Co., 1912 Woodward Ave. De-
trOit, Mich. Now that you know
this, you have no excuse for being
fat. but can reduce steadily and
easily without going through long
sieges Of tiresome exercise and star
vstion diet or fear of bad effects.
