AN APPEAL FOR HELP.
Lady Curzon Calls Attention to the Terrible
Distribution at Mafeking.
(By the Associated Press.)

10Y the ASSOclauoO ProSS.)
London. May 12.-Lady Georgiana Cur
Zon has issued an urgent appeal for help
for Matching. She says:
Nothing but absolute knowledge of the
suf1erlngs OF the people of Mafeking
prompts me to inaugurate another fund:
the heart-rending accounts received from
my sister. Lady Sarah Wilson, must be
my excuse. She writes with authority,
having shared equally with them the anx-
letles and privatiOns of the long siege.
She describes te deStitutiOn of the inhabi-
tants and the absolute ruin of all the
small trades-peOple. whose homes. in
many cases, have been demolished. The
nuns convent has been rendered ~roofless
by Boer guns, yet the sisters are unre-
hitting in cheerful attendance upon the
wounded and sick. For months the inhab-
itants have not slept in their beds. They
have given lives and property and stood
by the gallant Baden-Powell until their
courage and endurance have thrilled the
whole world"
The appeal concludes with hoping the
day the relief of Mafeking is announced
the writer will be able to wire cOngratu-
lationS accompanied by a substantial sum
Of money.

BIG ENGINE Is SPEEDY.
Special Train Of Colorado Excursion.
lists Tests New Locomotive.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

Railway men of all classes are
watching with much interest the tests
of the 1920 series" of engines OF the
Rock Island road, the largest running
out OF Chicago in passenger service.
Engine No. 1901 was given its first
severe test for power and speed last
week. The patrons of the Rock Is
lands first excursion to Colorado occu-
pied fourteen of the largest and heay-
lest coaches. This was enough for
two trains to be pulled by the ordna-
ny passenger engines Of the day, con-
sidering the speed.required. 1 The big
engine did all that was expected OF it
and more. Between Chicago and
Rock Island it pulled that train OF
fourteen coaches with ease on sched-
ule time, and when called on for a
little extra effort developed speed OF
over ~ miles an hour.
Engines of that class will haul all
the special trains which will be used
by the Rock Island in its series OF
Colorado excursions, at the rate Of one
fare, plus 81, for the round trip.
Three more excursions will be given,
leaving here July 9, July II and An-
gust i. The departing time Of the
special trains will be 4:45 p. M, but
on the dates named excursion tickets
will also be honored on all regular
trains. The special trains to be used
are high class throughout. Through
dining car service is provided and the
run from Chicago to Colorado is made
with only one night on the road. Ex-
cursion rates will be made to Colorado
and Utah from all points on the line
OF the Rock Island between the Mis-
souri, river and Chicago.

HOT COMMENTS.
Sample OF the Way the State Papers
Will Talk about Raymond and the
Majority Of the Regents This SUM

mer.
President Raymond of the Uniyer-
sity will not quit, the board of regents
having voted five TO four to retain
him. Dealers in cratic literature
about Morgantown will find their bus
mess booming when the summer lee
ture course begins. Victoria Wood
hull, or Tennie G. Claflin should hold
the boards for the season. Sentinel.
Not only did the regents of the
University vote To retain DR.. Ray
mond at the head Of the University,
but they went further and served
notice on the real sensible and only
practical members Of the faculty that
hereafter INSTRUMENTATION will be
promptly and severely dealt with.
This means that the faculty will have
to tolerate the nauseating bigotry and
fool whims and ways of Raymond.
A change of regents is as badly needed
at the University as change in
management Charleston Gazette.
Raymond was only blutfing when he
offered his resignation as President of
the University. He was vain enough
TO think that the institution could
not be run without him, and he could
force the regents TO carry out his
whims and petty spites. A man like
Raymond cannot get job like the
one he now has every DAY There is
probably not another State University
in the Union that would have him.
He was more than anxious To with
draw his charges against the profess
sors and withdraw his own resigna-
tion. The regents have made a very
grave mistake and one that will create
much disagreeable agitation in the
State aud do the University much in
jury. Gazette.
1t is barely possible that the reten-
tion of Raymond by the board OF re-
gents Of the University is a necessity
to prevent an investigation of the
finances Of the School. 1t is current
rumor, never denied, that thousands
upon thousands of dollars of the
schools money have been mis-applied;
that money appropriated for one pur-
pose has been used for another in di-
rect violation of law; that insurance
money on building burned has gone
into unlawful expenditures; that ex-
travagance and waste have gone hand
in hand; that the truth has been sup
pressed; that deficits and debts are
mountain high: that fictitious state
ments have been given out and the
truth kept locked up. All these
things, and more, are within the
knowledge of the president and Of
some if not all of the regents. Hence
the wisdom, perhaps the necessity, Of
retaining Mr.. Raymond. Sentinel.
