NO TROUBLE AT EMPORIA.
President Taylor Says There is No
Disagreement at the State Normal

President A. +. Taylor of the state
normal school at Emporia, says there
is no truth in the sensational reports,
being sent out from Emporia, stating
that there is war between the faculty
and state oratOrical association as to
what course shall be pursued by the
association with reference to a difficulty
arising from the decision of judges of
the recent oratorical contest. Professor
Taylor said:
THE author of these sensational re-
ports is the victim of a joke. There is
no 'feverish excitement there. The
subject mentioned in the dispatches has
never been before the faculty. The or
atOrica1 association will settle its own
difficulties and without interference or
intimidation from the faculty, as was
mentioned by the reports The students
have never been more loyal to the
school than they now are. There are
some honest differences of opinion
among the boys and girls and a few OF
them have some feeling. However, the
past two weeks have been among the
most harmonious in the history of the
school, and there has been no insubordi-
nation or disorder
