Hickman's Mother
Loses Control
by United Press Leased Wire

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dee. ~ -
Mrs. Eva Hickman completely lost
control of herself when informed
today that her son, Edward, had
confessed to numbering Marion
Farker.
Complete knowledge of the part
her son played in the murder was
more than the mother could bear.
Amidst her heart broken sobs,
Mrs. Hickman continued to bolster
lier own courage with the declara-
ton that her son could not have
conceived the horrible plot; that he
was too young to think of such Il
thing; that he was only tool, ear
rying out the scheme of some di-
leeting head.
Details of the crime, as related
by Edward in his confession, were
withheld from the mother, who was
only told that her son had admit
ted the murder.

YOUNGSTERS HAVE
GREAT time AT
CHRISTMAS TREE

Almost as quickly as a cake OF
ice would disappear if placed at
Sixth and Main streets on an Aug
ust day, the big pile of toys pur-
chased by the Elks for the annual
Christmas tree party disappeared
into the hands of several thousands
of the city's youngsters Christmas
morning.
When the doors were opened at
IL o clock the first urchins came
up the stairs ard into the lodge
room pell-mell and for the next
hour and a quarter the Elks were
busy handing out presents to a
steady stream.
They came in all sorts, all ages,
all descriptions, all nationalities yet
bound together by two common ties
they were kids, and they Were
guests of the Elks.
White, black, brown, yellow,
clean and not so clean; from we'll
to-do homes and from homes that
know poverty, hunger and misfor-
tune; the kids came, were given a
toy, a bag of candy and some fruit,
and departed on their way happy
on the day that means most in the
lives of youngsters.
AT the entrance to the lodge
rooms the youngsters were greeted
by a real Santa Claus, and Santa
Claus was hindrance to traffic
The kids wanted to cluster around
him and admire, when the Elks
knew that if all were to be accom-
modated each kid had to be rushed
through-pronto. But a Christmas
without Santa Claus is like rain
without mud there aint no such
thing" So Santa Claus was kept
busy, welcoming them, then shooing
them away without too much
abruptness.
Inside the lodge rooms young
eyes expanded several, times their
normal size as they glimpsed the
huge pile of toys. Each wanted all
he could possibly carry away, and
here again it was necessary to
cause something of disappointment,
for each youngster was limited to
cne toy. 1t took considerable tact
and diplomacy on the part of the
toy dispensers not to cause the
youngsters unhappiness.
