glass worker. has been in jail here for many
weeks for contempt of court and says he
will remain there till re dies unless the
court releases him voluntarily. Laitern's
wife secured a divorce and $3.50 monthly
alimony for the support of her minor chill
dren. Not knowing the result in case he
disobeyed the courts ruling, Laitern failed
to comply, although financially able. At
the last term OF court he was arrested for
contempt and cast into jail. Once humil-
lated by a jail sentence, he made a VOW he
would never leave there, and as he is a de-
termined man, IL Is thought he intends 10
carry out his threat. Since being in jail
the property owned by his wife and himself
has been swept away. Friends have pleaded
with him to reconsider the matter, but he
refuses. He was a Woodworking mar and
a highly respected citizen. Last term of
court Judge Carroll had Laitern brought
into court and offered to remit the fine for
contempt ii he would pay the alimony to
the clerk. but he still refused. Laitern has

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, May s.
There was a mass meeting of citizens at
the courthouse last evening to confer to-
gether and take some steps which would
eventually lead to coeducation at Wabash
Cpllege. Judge Harvey presided and Walter
Hulet acted as secretary George w.
Graham, of the business mems committee,
was the first speaker. and he made a report
of his investigation into this question. He
had talked with many prominent citizens
and he had found all unanimously In favor
of admitting girls to the Presbyterian Wa
bash College. He thought that it would re-
suit in a benefit 10 the girls, draw the col
lese authorities and the citizens closer to-
gether and result in a financial benefit TO
the college. He said that at present there
were forty young women Of Montgomery
county attending colleges and schools else
where. who would be in Wabash College
If it were possible.

coeducation. He said he sat by a girl in
his school days and she never hurt him.

and neither was injured, and he could not

j. z. Evans and James Wright thought
that dormitories were unnecessary, as the

strongly In favor of admitting the girls on
the same terms as the boys. He said that
now there were bat $50 young men in the
college and five times that many could be
accommodated, ard a girl did not take up
any more room than a boy. The college
would any day take one hundred more
young men, yet they wanted 500, 600 to take
even a single woman. Several others also
spoke in like manner and ex-State Senator
Seller said that Wabash College should
have been ION the band wagon fifty years

County Commissioners have voted 5000 to
the college and have paid $1,000 with the
understanding that 5000 would be paid as

from its Cape Town correspondent in which
it is stated that the British secretary Of
state for the colonies, Mr.. Joseph Cham

mand upon the Transvaal Republic that 1t
must observe its obligations to the Queen

to the demand for the cancellation of the

that the British government deems that the
time has come to invite President Kruger
to observe the letter as well as the spirit of
the London convention. 1t Is not stated
how far the demand takes the form of an
ultimatum or If a period Is fixed within
which redress of the grievances of tho uit-
