AND 50 AUTOMOBILES.

Doug Fairbanks Wanted Whole Town Turned Out If He Spoke For the Loan. Kansas City, March 28.—The engagement of Douglas Fairbanks, motion picture actor, to speak here April 20, in the interest of the Liberty Loan drive in the tenth federal reserve district was cancelled tonight, it was announced by E. E Violette, chairman of the speakers’ bureau of the district. Mr. Violette said he had taken this action following receipt of a letter from Fairbanks’ representative in which a parade led ’fey’ the mayor and city officials witn at least fifty automobiles, was asked to meet the actor and convey him through the streets. The letter also suggested, Mr. Violette said, that the governor and his staff be invited to participate in the parade.
