BOBBED HAIR HELD
NOT "UNCHRISTIAN"
Kansas Court Awards Mother
Three Children Who Turned
Against Her.
BY the Associated Press.


KANSAS CITY. Kans.. April IL
Bobbed hair. jewelry and loud cloth
ing, despite the Bible, do not make a
mother "unchristion" In the opinion of
Judge Henry Meade of the Wyandotte
County Probate Court.
Three of the six children of Mrs.
Helen Leona Benedict, who turned
against her recently, saying she was
"unchristian" because she bobbed her
hair and wore jewelry and loud
clothing" were awarded the mother
today by Judge Meade.
The three elder children were placed
in private homes with Christian in
tluences" under the ruling of the
court Judge Meade explained he did
because he did not believe she could
support them.
The Benedict children have been in
the Mennonite home here for several
months. They had been made wards
of Mrs Harriet Cole, police matron,
and Mrs. Benedict filed suit to dis
solve the guardianship. At the hear
ing Judge Meade asked the children
if they wanted to return to their
mother.
no" Edith, who Is IL years old,
said, I'VE do not believe mother is a
Christian woman. She bobs her hair
and the Bible says in the eleventh
chapter of First Corinthians, a woman
should not cut her hair. She wears
jewelry and bright colored clothes. A
Christian woman shouldn't do these
things"
The children's ages range from S
to IL.

The three -motored monoplane De

Maj. Thomas G. Lanphier, second

Senators Join Plea for Sites
Between Capitol and
Treasury.

Before the $165 ,000, 900 public build
ings bill Is voted on in the Senate.
probably tomorrow. an effort will be
made to amend it to require that the
structures contemplated for Washing
ton shall be ornamental in character
and located with view to improving
the architectural appearance of the
National Capital.
This became apparent during debate
in the Senate yesterday, when a num-
Der of Senators Joined in indorsing the
movement launched by Senator Bruce.
Democrat. of Maryland. to prevent the
purchase of sites north of Pennsyl-
vania or New York avenues.
Senator Bruce drew a vision Of a
beautiful vista of public building along
the south side of Pennsylvania avenue
fianking the Mall. and pointed out
that his amendment would have the
effect of requiring those in charge of
the building program to follow such
general plan.
SmoOt Favors Proposal.
Senator Smoot, Republican of Utah
and chairman of the commission
which will have charge of the local
building program, announced he would
be willing to accept the restriction
against buying land north of Penn
sylvania avenue, but said 1t would be
a mistake to prohibit any of the new
structures from being placed north of
New York avenue, which cuts diago-
nally toward the river west of Seven
teenth street.
During the discussion Senator Bruce

that the plan is to buy all of the land
surrounding Lafayette Square, to
which, he said. he was unalterably
opposed, because it would overshadow
the White House. He added that
values in that neighborhood are SO
high as to take nearly all of the $780,
600, 900 allotted to the District of Co.
lumbia in the bill.
Senator Smoot replied that there
has not been one word of discussion
in the commission as to where any of
the local structures would be placed.
and he assured the Senate in refer
ence to the Lafayette Park plan that
'if I continue to be chairman of the
commission that will never be done"
1t had been expected the Senate
would complete the buildings bill yes
terday, but after several committee
amendments had been approved Sena-
tor Fernald Of Maine, in charge OF the
measure, announced he would let the
bill go over until Monday for final
action.
Building Deterioration.
In order to convince his colleagues
Of the urgency Of getting started on
the building program in Washington,
Senator Smoot called attention to the
deterioration that is taking place In
some of the temporary war struc-
lures.
IT can take the Senator down to
some of the temporary buildings"
said Senator Smoot, "and show him

After studying the settlement plan

Some details of the accord have

Washington and 1t is admitted in
Government circles that they are ap-
proximately in error. 1t Is stated,
however, that they have nothing but
a tentative value because the whole
matter rests with the debt commits

been very careful about letting out
information In order not to embarrass
NJ. Berenger in his negotiations.
1t has been intimated, however.
that the figure of $4,000, 900 a wear
for the first five years, which has been
reported In Washington, is somewhat
lower than the actual payments to
be made. The difference is small. how
ever.
All the first payments are low COM

. IN TRANQUIL SPIRIT
Session to Open Tomorrow
Will Lack Customary
Political Battles.

Beneath an unprecedentedly tran
quill surface, few disturbing rumors
were current yesterday in the politi-
cal sea of the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution. as delegates gathered
here from every State in the Union
the insular possessions and even a
number of foreign countries for the
thirty-fifth Continental Congress. which
will convene tomorrow morning in
the Washington Auditorium.
1t is a political year" for the ma
tional society. Before next Saturday
the delegates will be called upon to
elect a new president general and an
entire set of national officers. But by
comparison with previous campaign
seasons, the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution are witnessing a politi-
cal millennium unequaled in the his
tory of their society.
The whisperings and chickering's of
seasons past are gone completely. In
their place are more or less interested
discussions as to the merits of the
two or three candidates who have an
nounced themselves, the possibilities
of dark horses. and almost unanimous
regret over the retirement of Mrs.
Anthony Wayne Cook as president
general.
1t is the exceptional popularity of
Mrs. Cook. according TO delegates
from all parts of the country, that
accounts for the placid electioneering
this year. Although Mrs. Cook was
elected three years ago. after bitter
campaign, her retirement is declared
by leaders of all factions to be a mat
ter of widespread regret.
Leaders In Contest.
OF the three candidates that are
recognized as being definitely out for
the presidency general, Mrs. Alfred
Brosseau, the present treasurer gen.

State regent of New York, are men

George Thatcher Guernsey, who
served as president general three ad-
ministrations back, is talked Of as
a possibility. although it is understood
she has not yet consented to have her
name presented to the delegates for
consideration.

spectacular late today as fiery boul-

SIX BILLION SAVED
THROUGHDRyLAW
SAYS ECONOMIST
Prof. Fisher of Yale, Noted
Expert, Appears as Witness
Before Senators.
By G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The "drys" wheeled into action some
of their heaviest guns in the prohibi-
ton hearing before the Senate COM
mittee yesterday.
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale Univer-
sity told the committee that, while
most Yale men are opposed to pro-
hibition, prohibition has improved con-
dittons at Yale.
An authority on economics, Prof.
Fisher estimated for the committee
that prohibition had brought about an
annual saving of $4,000, 900, 900 to the
American people.
But Prof. Fisher took a fall out OF
his own "dry" friends, declaring that
they had made a serious tactical blum
der when they virtually gave over
their educational program as soon as
prohibition had been adopted and
turned to a mere observance program.
Blames Home Conditions.
A. A. Stagg, famous foot ball coach
at the University of Chicago, de
nounced the use of alcohol; declared
that drinking at the University of
Chicago had never been as prevalent
as at Yale. for example. and attribut-
ed the "looseness' among young peo-
ple of today to breaking down of
home life in this country and not to
prohibition.
"A new moral and religious crusade
is needed in this country" said Mr..
Stagg. "The people should back up
the law. A whole lot Of folks have
not been playing the game on the
square and according to the rules"
DR.. w. w. Peck. executive secre-
tary Of the Prohibition Federation of
Canada, the Canadian Antisaloon
League, bore down heavily on the
testimony given on behalf of the
"wets" by Francis William Russell,
president Of the Moderation League
of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Mr..
Russell a week ago told the Senate
committee that the adoption of a
government liquor control law in
Manitoba had resulted in reducing
! crime and drunkenness and improv-
! ing conditions all around. ~

documents to prove he was right and
MIR. Russell was not.
The legislative committee of the
Antisaloon League, which was seri-
ously aroused by recent testimony OF
