50Y SCOUTS AIM AT $40,000 BUDGET Council Will Conduct Quiet Campaign to Finance Activities for 1927. Forty thousand dollars is being +sought by the District of Coluibia Council of the Boy Scouts of America for the conduct of the Scout organiza- tion in Washington during 1927. This figure is the conservative esti- mate for the Scouts’ budget for the - ensuing year made by a group of the city’s business men and represents the amount that. will be sought through a “quiet, personal solicitation campaign” instead of the usual “high- powered drive” that the members of 1 cutive hoard deciare i ve to engineer. Washington's _business houses— merchants, bankers, realtors and others—will be appealed to as well as the public at large to contribute i0 the fund which, it is =aid, will enable the Washington organization of Boy Scouts to carry on for a Whole year| its work of teaching growing boys through the medium of 125 troops. to | keep themselves “physically strong mentally awake and morally straight.” | Maintain Two Camps.

Ier closest friend was Helen Gregory, daughter of the first regent of the University of Illinols, another bril- llant woman. Kate Frisbie was in- terested in educational work. That was the career she wished, to be a leader in the new education that was just forming, then to be a writer. Willlam McKinley, then associated with his uncle in a private banking business, an intensely busy young man, was the successful suitor. He and Kate Frisble were married in 1881 and set up housekeeping in Champadgn. McKinley was extremely active, giving all of his thought to his work. Mrs. McKinley was coldly | intellectual. McKinley once said he never knew but one person as dominantly intellectual as his wife, and that was Elihu Root. The Kansas land boom was on. McKinley was up to his neck in frozen securities in Kansas farm lands, when the boom expired sud- denly. The money could not be taken out to meet the loans placed in his confidence by many middle Tllinoisians. Mrs. McKinley, because of her intense activities, suffered a nervous breakdown; she has been a semi- invalid since. She traveled abroad, mostly with Miss - Gregory, a few trips with McKinley; they saw Europe_together. She found a villa near Florence, where the climate suited her, and there she spent much of her time, occasionally returning to the United States to spend a few Summer months in Maine, a Winter month or two in Louisiana. McKinley provided for her, but 1926 —PART 1. she was independent financially. A lot of the securities he made over to her proved weak when the land boom ended. In 1893 McKinley was broke. He held the frozen mort- gage paper, but had no liquid assets. From 1893 to 1903 he devoted him- self, night and day, to working the loans and he paid 100 cents with in- interest on every dollar that had been given him for investment. He se- cured a power of attorney from Mrs. McKinley, then living near Florence, and, without her knowledge—Mec- Kinley died in the belief that she never knew—he traded to her sound, income-paying securities for the frozen mortgages she held, guaran- teed and increased her income. A settlement later was made so that she has been independently wealthy. McKinley had at one time as much as $3,000,000 in those Kansas loans. Every cent was worked out in the decade ended in 1903, about which time he entered the public utility | development _business, backed by | Bastern capital. Yet he kept his loans and utility securities inde- pendent. He never gave his clients new and unknown utilities for their mortgages. They were separated in the eyes of the world, yet there never was an estrangment, never the slightest sug- gestlon of divorce by either. Two or three times a year for the last 30 years McKinley saw his wife, in recent years at the Carolina resort, which is not far distant from Wash- ington. Throughout all these years there was that strange, sweet rela- interest. Juvenile Golf Outfits—3 Sizes 3 Clubs and Bag—$4.00, $5.50, $7.50 tionship, which can be made public today’ for the first time. As McKinley's utility business made him wealthy he consulted with his wife on charities. He trusted absolutely in her good judgment and followed the advice as to his gifts. Helped Poor Mothers. It was her suggestion that prompt- ed him to give $50,000 to stabilization of the Sarah Hackett Stephenson Memorial Lodging House in Chicago for poor mothers and their children, he has given close to $5,000 annually to the Salvation Army on Mrs. Kin- ley's advice, and would never permit it to be made public. It was during the 1920 campaign for Senator that he kept a rally meet- ing in Chicago waiting for an hour while he went out to the South Side to give an aditional $50,000 for pur- chase of an addition to the Stephen- son Memorial Bullding—and when his political associates discovered it he would not permit them to make it public for campaign purposes. Mrs. McKinley was always opposed to a public career. Soclety career ‘was repugnant to her. She has never lived in Washington, where a niece has been the Senator's hostess. She has lived, in her lonely invalidism, the life of an aesthete. McKinley, from the day he met her until he died, adored her, loved her for her high intellectual type, the force of character that she had. Mrs. McKinley always loved William for the great, warm heart that beat within him; the shy, modest, humble b3 ) littte man who shrank from people and becameag millionaire. Understood Each Other. They understood each other, this unusual man and woman. Shortly before McKinley went to Baltimore for a surgical operation, which pre- ceded his long illness and his eventual death from prostatic cancer at the Home Lawn Sanitarium, Martinsville, Ind., he visited Mrs. McKinley at Southern Pines. @t was their last meeting. McKinley loved children, although they never had any. That was one reason why his wife's suggestion that he help the Stephenson Memorial ap- pealed so strongly to him. During the unsuccessful. 1926 campaign for renomination he” again left a meet- ing in Chicago and went out to the memorial home for dinner, eating at a table with indigent mothers, and fondling the bables that crowded around him knowing, iIn that odd sixth sense that bables have, that he loved them, as he stroked their heads—and looked at them with sombre, wistful eyes.
