LIKE ALLIED POWERS.
South American Governments Talk Of
Dividing Up Bolivia

New York, Jan. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Information has been received In an
official quarter in Washington that Chile
recently submitted the astounding pro-
position to four other South American
governments that Bolivia. be partitioned
among them.
This proposition was promptly re-
jected by Peru, and the Lima govern
ment as a further sign of its dispIeasure,
to recall it's minister, Custodlo Vicuna.
The attitude of Brazil, Argentina and
Paraguay can not be learned, but there
is no expectation, in view Of the determ-
ined refusal of Peru, that steps will be
taken in line with the Chilean proposal
Bolivia is a weak nation and could
not singly resist an attack by the troops
OF any one Of thenations named, with TIE
possible exception Of Paraguay, much
less the united force of several govern
ments.
The proposition to partition Bolivia is
not the first move Chile has made to
estrange Peru and Bolivia During the
war with Chile an envoy was sent to the
Bolivian camp for the purpose Of in
ducing President Laza TO abandon his
Peruvian ally, but the attempt was un-
successful
It is believed here that Chiie's propos-
al to partition Bolivia is due to her de-
sire to end the alliance existing between
that country and Peru in order, it is
said, that she may formally take pos
session of the provinces of Tacna and
africa

NEEDS OF REFORM SCHOOL.


Representative J. 3. Sims has intro
duced the appropriation bill for the
state reform school in the house, ask
ing for $4,000 the first year and SIS, 900
the second year for the institution. On
account OF the burned buildings there
is a deficit account Of $16 900 that must
also be provided for by this legislature.
In the appropriation estimates that
were prepared by State Auditor Cole
earlier in the session. the state reform
school was put down for $7S 100 for the
two ensuing fiscal years.
At its session Friday the ways and
means committee decided to have per-
sonal visitations to the various insti-
tutions before passing on the appropri-
atoms, SO the reform school In North
Topeka. will come in for this inspection.
A previous legislature had the reform
school come to them to be inspected
The boys were brought over to the state
house and gave an entertainment and
exhibition before the legislature. This
may be done again. Or the legislature
may be asked to do itself up in carloads
and go over to the Institution. Superin-
tendent Hancock takes a pardonable
pride in showing what can be done by
the states and his wards. and 1t is well
for the legislature to see just what is
being done and what it is desirable to
do at the institution.
Among the things that are wanted to
be done this time are the erection of a
thousand barrel steel water tank to Su-
persede the wooden structure at present
in use. that holds but four hundred BAR
rels, and the greenhouses need expand
ing also.
The bill specifies appropriations for the
employment of four additional in
structors also, as it is desired to install
a full degree of manual training courses
lust as soon as the new building can be
occupied. The four artisans that are
wanted are a foreman each for the car
penter shop blacksmith shop, harness
shop and shoe shop They are to be sal
al-ied at $40 per month

BRIGHTER FOR BEARS.
Stock Markets Show Little Upward
Tendency This Week.

New York, Jan. 19.-(Wal Street
WeelEly)-The effects Of over extended
speculation have been manifested in the
stock market during the week and de-
mails or rumors formerly current and
disappointment at the failure Of expect
ed dividend action and predicted rail-
road consolida tions have checked tie
eagerness of speculation and made spec
ulators long of stocks uneasy The dan
ger Of a competitive war amongst tue
great steel combinations is felt to
threaten grave consequences to the
earning power Of those corporations as
well as an unfavorable influence on the
general business Of the country. The
beginning Of gold exports and the prom
1se Of considerable outward movement
OF the metal has an Inevitably chilling
effect on speculation. which seems large
" sentimental in view of the abundance
of the domestic money supply. The bear
traders have shown increasing bolduess
and growing success IN precipitating
speculative liquidation.

END OF PROFESSIONALISM
Waahbnrn College Faculty MakesNew
Rules Governing Akhlstics.

The faculty OF Washburn college has
had under consideration set Of rules
to govern athletics at the college in the
future.
The rules provide that the players on
the team must keep up in their studies
and that they shall have 2 passing
grade. This means that they viii be re-
CURED to have an average OF between
tiona.
One OF the most important of the rules
provides that q player must attend the
school for one term The rule allows
player TO come in on the fall term OF
school and play with the team during
the football season but it requires that
he remain during the remainder Of the
term. Unless he does he will not be
allowed to play on the team the next
second term OF the year IT he SO desires
Anyone who has played on a team Of
any college during the football season
and who did not stay In the school dur
ing one complete term will not be allow
Cd to play with Washburn-
Regular work at the college requires
16 hours per week in class recitations
During the football season the players
have been devoting only 10 hours to
school and one OF the new rules requires
that this time be made II hours instead
q 70. IT is not unlikely, however that
this rule will be amended to make it re-
quire only 10 hours recitatiOns
Another of the rules provides that the
college team can play nothing but col
lege teams unless they secure the con-
sent Of the faculty. This makes it nee
essary to lay the matter before the
faculty when a game is to be arranged
with professional team such as the
Denver Athletic club, and another rule
makes 1t necessary for the manager to be
selected from among the old students.
The rules will not materially affect the
players. They will have practically the
same rights and privileges that they
have had heretofore. The rules con-
corning the average grades to be earned
by the players in their studies will per-
hapS be the only one which viii create
any changes. The players have not
hitherto been compelled to keep UP to a
certain standard but il will be no hard
ship for them to get a passing grade
Of so per cent.
The rule concerning the time players
shall remain in school will work nOhard-
ship upon the team but will result in
building up a strong team.
The rules as adopted by the faculty
Of Washburn will probably be adopted
by all the colleges. al least there Is .
movement on foot to secure the adOp-
tion OF this set of rules by all the col
legas and schools in this section, SO that
uniform conditions may exist at each Of
the schools, and one college will not
have an advantage over another in this
respect.
The members or the Washburn Ath-
letic association are well pleased with
the rules.

which could give more substantial en-
joyment than one of the Henschel song
recitalS. Both of these people are artists
Mrs. Henschel's voice production is a
lesson in the art Of song, and her phras-
ing is so beautiful that it is difficult to
find it's equal on the stage today. There
is certainly none superior to it. Her
singing is today, as it has been for some
years, the perfection of refinement. or
course she Is not an Isolde or a Brunn-
hide but that is a blessing. The great
dramatic sopranos grow a bit wearisome
