Kansas Solon
Gets Title to
Capitol Dome
Owns It Part and Parcel, but
Is Forbidden to Move It
From Present
Site.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 17.—How would
you like to be able to move Into a
state capltol for your home any time
th* notion strikes you? Yes, all of
us would, of course.
President Calvin Coolidge Is en
titled to residence In the White
House for his tenure of office, but
Charles M. Sheldon, a resident of
Tulsa, Okl., and well known oil op
erator, l\i the Midcontinent field
has the unique distinction of being
able to beat the landlord by moving
Into the Kansas state capltol dome
here whenever he feels the urge.
Sheldon owns title to the dome of
the capltol by act of the Kansas
legislature. The only disagreeable or
Inconvenient feature of possession Is
that he can’t move the dome from
here to Tulsa.
Chambers Were Hooted.
Several years ago—In 1D01, to be
exact—It was the practice of each
legislature to virtually loot the house
and senate chambers at the end of
each session for the benefit of the
members. By the passage, each ses
sion, of a flowery resolution com
mending each member for his noble
work in behalf of the people of Kan
sas, he would be given title to the
chair,-or desk, or both, that he had
occupied while struggling So nobly
for the benefit of his constituents
and the commonwealth. At the end
of a session the legislative halls
would be practically bare by the time
all the ‘‘suffering servants" had been
"rewarded” for their labors.
Senators Noftzger and Sheldon
(the latter at that time was secre
tary of the senate) were leaders^Jn
the movement to stop the gratu
itous dispensation of public property,
and, with the consent of Mr. Sheldon,
Noftzger introduced the following
resolution, which was promptly
passed:
"Be It resolved. That, in recogni
tion of his splendid and efficient
services rendered as secretary of
the fifty-third session of the senate
of the state of Kansas, heretofore
unexcelled by any of his predeces
sors, and as an expression of our
appreciation for the same, a unani
mous vote of thanks be extended to
t. M. Sheldon.
Sheldon Thanked.
"Be it further resolved, That, as
an expression of our sincere thanks
to said C. M. Sheldon, and as a token
of good fellowship: and whereas,
since he has repeatedly refused to
accept a gift from the state of Kan
sas, with unanimous consent of this
body of the fifty-third session of the
legislature of the state of Kansas,
the said C. M. Sheldon be given, to
become his, his assigns and for his
heirs forever, the dome of the state
capltol building of Kansas;
“Provided, That it not at any time
be removed from its present location
and position."
Needless to say, this bit of buf
foonery had the desired result, and
the legislature gave away no more
chairs and desks.

New York to Be
Big Art Center
p
Russian Sculptor Believes
Gotham Due to Take
Place of Paris.
New York, Nov. 17.—The fu
ture will see New York City deprive
Paris of another proud distinction
and take its place as the actfye art
center of the w-orld.
This is the belief of no less emi
nent an art authority than Alexander
Archipenko, a Russian, who came
here from Prague to establish "the
only modern art school In the
world." Archipenko's forte in the
- world of arts Is sculpture, and he
has succeeded to the extent of being
proclaimed by many the greatest of
living sculptors.
i "Europe is chaotic—sick,” Archi
penko added. "America Is healthy,
and If art is to go on It must be
here.
“Living conditions in Europe are
not conducive to artistic achieve
ment In the case of those who find
their greatest strugge lies chiefly
In worrying about where they will
get their next piece of bread. They
have no time to work at their art."
The Russian sculptor thinks
America the most religious coun
try and that for this reason It will
have an "artistic renlassance."
"Religion Is what we call the
•creative in the abstract,' he ex
plained, "and when religion is
translated Into the material It is art.
Public Interest Is evincing itself In
artistic things here, and immigrating
European artists, each month In
creasing In number, will guide you,
native genius to active art life."
And New York, being the "heart”
of America (not to say the Paris) will
also, In Archipenko’s estimation, be
the "heart" of America's artists
.renaissance and eventually become
the art center of the world.
Come on, All You Title Fans! Here’s Another
Chance to Show Your Wit and Ifin a Prize
No doubt the Buttons at the cheek
stand is talking through somebddy's
hat. But It's no lie that a perfectly
good check for $5 is waiting for the
person who submits the best title to
this picture. Five second prizes of
$1 each will be given for the five next
best titles.
The same old rules are In force.
How to Play.
Write your title, jour name and ad
dress on a slip of paper and mail it to
the Title Contest Editor, Omaha Bee,
Omaha, Neb.
Each person may submit as many
titles as he wishes, but each should
be wrrltten on a separate piece of

No title should contain more than
12 words. »

Bee office by midnight Wednesday.
East Week's Gladiators.
We thought Oklahoma was the most
pugilistic state, hut now we know
better. It's Iowa! If ever we take
a walk across the river we shall go
prepared with boxing gloves and even
carry brass knuckles if necessary.
While the T. C. as a whole fell off a
little this week, Iowa Increased her
quota, submitting 92 of the 347 titles
offered.
More title contest bugs feel more at
home with booze, or the antics of
aunties in search of antiques, or even
with the Atlantio Monthly, we
gather, than they do In the ring.
However, those who enter this week
make up by a minute technical knowl
edge and vigor of expression for their
slight decrease in numbers. Every
body owns a hat. or, If he doesn't, he
wears one, so that next week the
number probably will rise again.

Omaha Taking No Chances on
Meeting Green-Eyed Monster
Kurly English literature contains
the story of heroic men who went Into
the sen and killed sea monsters.
Huch a story may bo pleasant to
read, but when It comes to emulat
ing the hero, well—It simply Isn't
done, nowmd*»r*.
Dr. T. K. Dailey of Omaha will
testify that It Isn't being done, at
least not by him. But let Tom Quln
lnn of the Branded stores, tell the
story.
"Dr. Dailey and I were hunting
ducks up In Cherry county," relates
Quinlan. "We waded out into Klmes
lake and finally got on a sandbar,
whore wVt'began putting out our de
V
coys. It wasn't such exciting business,
so I solemnly mentioned to Dr. Dailey
that this was the lake which was In
habited by the famous sea monster of
northwest Nebraska.
"'Just at that moment one of my
decoys suddenly turned over and as
I rushed out to fix It I heard a noise
behind me. I looked back and saw
Dr. Dailey plowing up the water as
he dashed for shore. lie didn't stop
until he was «efe up on the hank,
either. I tried to get him hack, ns
soring him that It was another lake
and not this one that the monster
was reputed to Inhabit. Ilut he would
not come back."

In his will that in the event she
chose to live with her family follow
ing his death the $350,000 estate will
be removed from her Jurisdiction and
her income limited to $200 a month.

in my mind that my wife's family
connections were virtually responsi

their continual meddling in our per
sonal affairs I have deemed it wise
to include such provisions,” the will
reads.
By living apart from her family,

Over 7,000,000 Copies of Sousas !
“Stars and Stripes Forever” Sold
Noted Bandmaster-Composer
Once Played Before
Audience of 70,000.
I.leut. Commander John Philip
^Sousa, whose band will play at the
Auditorium. Saturday, November 24,
afternoon and night, has participated
in so many record breaking events
during his long caree^ at the head
of the band which bears his name,
that he has forgotten a great share
of the superlative events of his life.
Recently, however, he took pad and
pencil and Jotted down a few facts.
Here they are:
Sousa'H greatest audience consist
ed of 70,000 persona and was assem
bled at the American league baseball
park in Ne^ York, in April, 1923.
Sousa was lnvitedTo conduct the band
for the flagraising which officially
opened the huge stadium to the
public.
The greatest band ever directed by
Sousa consisted of 6,282 pieces. It
was composed of the massed bands
of Shrlners from all sections of
America, assembled in Washington
for the national convention of the
order last June. The first selection
played by the huge band was the
new Sousa march, "Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine."
The greatest day’s business ever
done by Sousa and his band was in
Cleveland, O., September 30, 1922.
The receipts amounted to $17,778, a
world's record for a single day for
any musical organization.
The most successful of all Sousa
compositions. Judging by sales, is his
march, "Stars and Stripes Forever."
To date more than 2,000,000 copies of
the music and more than 6,000,000
copies of the talking machine records
and piano rolls have been sold. It is
the largest selling composition of any
description in the world.
Sousa says his biggest thrill came
the first time he led the United
States Marine hand in one of his own
compositions, 'and his second biggest
thrill whpn he marched down Fifth
avenue in New York at the head of
his Great I^akes Naval Training
band of 1,800 pieces, during one of
the Liberty loan campaigns.
