B. Olivefson submitted the proposition of receiving some financial aid from the city in connection with the building and equipping of an armory here for the battery of field artillery now in process 6fy being established by the government. While the' government supplies the principal equipment to the extent of approximately $150,000, Mr. stated that there are some things which would be required at the armory for the securing of which the government made no provision, and which is left to the city cr county where the battery is located. He read the Kansas statute re- gard to this matter, author- izes the city to contrurre to tne battery for the extra equipment desired in an amount not exceeding $2,000.

The equipment not provided for and which Mr. Oliverson stated would be necessary or essential to have, consists of office furniture, a technical library, additional radio ehuinment. lockers, athletic equip ment tnin racks, the COSt of I which he. estimates would be about Mayor Hunt stated that as usual in cases of- this kind, the government did not provide for all the details necessary, but considered it as a business proposition, and- in harmony with the view of the commissioners 'though the matter ought have fair consideration.

That is an easy question to answer, ami we will gladly tell our readers. The Traveler and Its editor will give its support to Captain M. X.

Sinnott for mayor. There are various reasons why we are supporting Captain Sinnott for tliis office. In the first place we cannot be accused of playing politics, lor we have been told that all the nominees for all the offices are democrats, but we cannot vouch for the correctness of this report. The Traveler believes Captain Sinnott, with his experience both as mayor and city clerk, should be chosen mayor at this time for the reason that his experience as an official, and his knowledge of the city would give him considerably advantage as an official over his opponent in the conduct of the city's affairs. Captain Sinnott is a man who cannot be swayed from safe business principles, lie will sit sternly in the boat and will give the city a conservative government if elected mayor.

We believe his motives for being mayor are iatriotic. His heart will be absolutely in the government of the city. There is no doubt but that he couhl continue in the city clerk's office at a better salary than the mayor, but we believe lie feels that he.can do Arkansas City more good as mayor than In any other place. If this were not true, we have persona! reasons for supporting Captain Sinnott. For over thirty-five years the editor of the Travcl-1 er and the captain have been personal friends in everything evcent politics, and even then we have bee'i frequently together, supporting the same man for office.

The Traveler does not lelieve the ueitioii of organized labor should be iniected into this mayoralty campaign. With us it is not ouetion of unionism or non-unionfcm, it is just a question, we have settled in our own mind, 'as to which man is the better "or the office of mayor. or that reason the Traveler will frankly tell the voters of this cit" it is for Captain Sinnott. We hope to see him elected, his experience and knowledge of the city's affairs will do lmich toward tiding the cltyover 'its p'recnt- crisis. 1- t-t XOYA SCOTIA MIXTCTtS.

Whether there was a pact between them, however, was still in doubt-In several letters by Larsen. found on his body when it was discovered in the Fenway, behind the Museum of Fine Arts yesterday, were statements that he prepared the poison originally for the woman of whom he was enamored, gave it to her, and took the vial what was left after she had fallen dead among her guests because after Miss Clark's death it was my property and I could use it." Further light on his mental processes was contained in a reference to his flight fiom the party and his subsequent hiainr. "I preferred to wait "until my testimony wbulcT be of value, then give it and take the rest of the poison, as I intended to do already before I had the privilege of meeting iAIiss Clark, whom I truly intimated to be one of the world's finest women," he wrote. Larsen had known the woman six weeks. In the letter to Medican Examiner Magrath and to a newspaper, Larsen explained he, an advanced student chemicar engineering, had obtained the poison for Miss Clark at her request.
