ID BUILD TEMPLE BY DIVINE ORDER
Band of MorInons to Follow
 Heavenly Messengers" Orders

Independence, Mo-, Oct. 25 P(-A religious temple, built by divine command and guidance" is rising here as a shrine for the Church of Christ, one branch of Joseph Smiths original Mormon band.
 The discovery of two stones, be- lieved to have been placed on an assigned temple lot' here by Joseph Smith himself century ago. has determined the temples site.
 Figures on the sacred markers members of the church believe. con- firm their contention that the temple has been located by divine inspira- tion.
 Leaders of the church say their building plans will follow instruc- tions given them, from time to time, by divine messages. Therefore no architects have been employed to design completed structure.
 Visits of divine messengers be- gan almost two years ago to Otto Tetting of Port Huron, Mich, ac- cording to church records. Since then MT. Fetting, one of the church's 12 apostles, claims to have received further instructions.

GOLD STAR MOTHER
 PILGRIMAGE YEXES
Government Flooded With AS-
 sorted Requests

' Washington, Oct. 25 Rl- Maj. Gen. B. F. Cheatham, quarter mas ter general of the United States army, has become big question and answer man.
 In connection with his job of ar ranging the Gold Star pilgrimage to France next year he is flooded with questions of every conceivable na- ture from women in every state in the union.
 Among queries he is called upon to answer are:
 Can an interpreter for the trip be furnished for an Indian mother who can speak no Eng fish?
 Can Kosher food be provided on board ship and in France for an anxious Jewish mother?
 Can he find a job for the re- maining son of mother who lost a boy in France?
 Thousands of women want to know what kind of clothes to take along. Some of them want to take their husbands, others their chill dren. The act of congress arrang- ing for the pilgrimage provides that only mothers and widows of vet crans buried in France can make the trip.
 All the women seem determined to be in France by next Decoration day. AS many of the cemeteries where Americas war dead are buried are small. that would mean too large a crowd.
 The quartermaster generals office is now working out plans to deter mine which women will go first It now looks as though betweer some 15,o0O mothers and widows will go. Of the maRy thousands of applications received 5000 have been granted.
 By checking with the veterans bu reau the applicants who are eligible for the trip are verified. A check with the state department deter mines whether an applicant ha! made the trip before. Mothers ant widows who have visited the ceme teries in France at their own ex pense are barred from going agail at government expense.
 The first pilgrimage will be mad next May. Others will follow. Tn final limit set by congress for tn trips is October, 1883. It is hope 10 arrange most of them for som time next year.

E. Brooke Lee of Silver Spring in
luired Of Tippett If he had made any
attempt TO pay the money back to
Woods or to turn it over to the State
as reimbursement for stolen money
Tippett replied that he had not, as it
was Buffers money, and there was no
reason why he should turn it over to
any one.
Butler testified that he didn't think
it was stolen money that he had got
ten from Woods. Baetjer insisted that
Butler got the money from Woods to
reimburse the State, to which Butler
replied that it was not only to re-

money. but to get the whole matter

the county leaders two weeks ago, when
the commissioners. concluding a pro-
longed period of hesitancy at taking
over the responsibilities of administer
ing the act, decided to proceed and
advertise hearings on requests for zon-
ing changes. /
Apparently by way of compromise
the Park Commission at that time
agreed to certain changes in the coming
law which are unsatisfactory to the
county commissioners.
The changes asked for by the county
leaders are said to include incorporation
of specific provision in the act that all
expense of litigation resulting from ad-
ministration of the coming law shall be
levied against the Park and Planning
Commission, and authorization for the
County commissioners to be given q
share in the development OF parks and
roadwayS.
Other minor points OF disagreement
are hoped to be ironed out through the
amended ordinance. u
Since the meeting two weeks, ago,
there have been several conferences be-
tween representatives Of the two groups
Last night Irwin Owings, chairman of
the Park and Planning Commission, and
State Senator Lansdale G. Sasscer of

ton informally.
Senator SaSScer has warned that there
is danger of the amendments not getting
through the Legislature unless intro
duced promptly.
