the state superintendent of public i'm
struction almost daily from teachers
in prominent positions, that contain
misspelled words. wrong capitalize
ton, wrong punctuation and very poor
English.
Here are some samples in the mail
received there in the last two days
only.
A Wichita teacher, a man, addressed
his letter to the state superintendent
OF public construction" and it went to
the board of public works and then to
the architect before it was rightly de-
hvered.
A city superintendent of schools in a
Kansas town wrote asking Information
regarding the last school ''sensus."
Il am a Kansas teacher" said one
letter "and / would like to have you
send me the last addition" of the kan
sas school laws
Bloomington, Ind, teacher asked
a surprising question in 81 surprising
way He wanted to know if an In
diana certificate to teach would be

at Antwerp; that he had repeatedly
brought packages over for Keck, but
had no knowledge Of the great value
Of them. He said he thought they
were trif1ing presents.
Charles Hess, of New York, counsel
for the Diamond Importers Protective
association, had a conference with Dis
trict Attorney Ingham prior TO the war
rant being issued for Keck's arrest
He claimed that his clients paid so
per cent of the diamond duties of the
country. keck's firm only paid a small
portion of the remaining 10 per cent,
and yet the latter's firm absolutely con-
trolled the market of the United States,
so that legitimate importers were froz-
en- out of the business. Mr. Hess
claimed that Keek's firm was rated at
$4,000 two years ago, when duty on
diamonds was 10 per cent Since it
was raised to 25 per cent the firms
rating had increased to 100000
Mr.. Hess stated that special treas
ury agents in Europe and agents of the
association in that country had tracked
Keck on his various visits, and United
States District Attorney Ingham stated
that Mr.. Keck was not held on mere
suspicion, but very strong case would
be made out against him when he had
his hearing on March Is. The delay
is occasioned by the absence of Capt.
Loeswitz, who was allowed to take his
vessel ON another voyage, and who
will not return to this port until the
middle Of March. Rankin D. Jones, Of

Keck. He denied that his client knew
the captain Of the Rhynland, or would
know him If he stood in front Of him.
Capt. Loeswitz made statements to Col

millions of dollars by the diamond
