ENGAGED GIRLS BARRED.
London Doctors Say they should Not
he Allowed to serve as
Trained Nurses.

"No engaged girls need apply" is
the latest phase of the nursing pro-
fession. Doctors and matrons have,
it appears, been discussing the sub
iect, and have come to the conclusion
that damsels who are engaged to be
married should not be admitted as
probationers to training schools be-
cause, in the opinion of those staid,
matter-of-fact persons, they only dali
ly with nursing until the time comes
to trip lightly into marriage, and thus
stand in the way of those who intend
to devote themselves whole-heartedly
to'their profession, says the London
Telegraph.
Moreover, doctors and matrons en-
tertain strong suspicion that not a
few of these giddy candidates seek the
privilege of wearing a nurses uniform,
with all the attraction it possesses,
for the purpose primarily of working
havoc among the hearts of medical
students and others with the view of
speedy marriage. An argument used
on the other side is that even young
women who are engaged to be mar
ried would derive inestimable advan-
tage from passing a year or two
among nurses and learning something
about how to treat simple maladies
such as occur frequently in house
holds. That may be so, but nursing
is now a recognized profession, and
those engaged in it do not look favor
ably on those whom they regard as
matrimonial interlopers. So the er
gagged girl probationeri is to be shelved.

TO BEL MANSLAUGHTER
Nothing Higher Can Charged Against
Cyclist Johnson

Kansas City, March 26.-Charles
Johnson, the bicycle rider who ran
down and killed Kate Clagg and Sc
riously injured Lydia Schaffer at
Fifteenth street and Prospect avenue
last night, may be prosecuted on a
charge of manslaughter in the fourth
degree. This is the limit OF his Of
Tense and it is possible that johnson
can only be convicted OF a misde-
meanor. The charge against johnson
will be determided by 1.-THE evidence
brought out at the inquest to be held
tomorrow morning. ,
Herbert S. Hadley, county prosecu-
tor, will be at the inquest, which will
be held tomorrow, TO inquire into the
death OF Miss Clagg, and if the evil
dence there shows that she was killed
as has been reported in the newspa-
pers he will file Information against
CHARLES johnson, charging him with
manslaughter in the fourth degree.
The statutes Of Missouri provide
~ ~
J Every killing of a human being by
the act, procurement for culpable neg
ligence of another, which would be
manslaughter at the common law, and
which is not excusable or justifable,
or is not declared In this chapter to be
manslaughter in some other degree,
shall be deemed manslaughter in the
fourth degree.
1t is under this clause of the statutes
that Johnson will be charged with
manslaughter. The punishment pro-
vided by law is Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for two years, or impris-
onment in the county Jail for not less
than six months, or fine of not less
than $500, or both a fine of not less
than 800 and Imprisonment in the
county Jail for not less than three
months.
No one has ever been convicted in
this state of killing another person by
bicycle collision, and so far as the
authorities here know, no one has ever
been tried for it, but there is no ques-
tion that a conviction could be had
under this statute where the rider of a
bicycle caused the death of another by
reckless riding. There is a special
law in this state making it manslaugh.

handle the boat or train so negli'

Hudson his pay check which amounted

him until he arrived home yesterday

to relate his experiences in details.,
He stated that he was accosteaa by
three masked men just at dark Sunday

the Golden Rod mine with the men
and to remove the shirt he was wear

Another Cement Story.

Wednesdays Kansas City Star says
1.-THE cheapness of cement and the
crease in the number of cement plants
will cause demand for buildings
constructed of cement" said Sheldon
H. Bassett Of ST. Louis at the Hotel
Baltimore this morning Mr. Bassett
is the president and general manager
of the lola Portland Cement company,
company that owns large cement
mill at lola. Kansas.
There are about seventy Portland
cement factories in the United States
and the number is increasing every
month";" he said. "The increase in
the number of mills is caused by the
increased demand for American
cement. Until the last few years it
was believed that good cement could
not be made in America and nearly
all the best cement used in the United
States came from England. Portland
cement is a mixture OF earth and
stone, mixed and ground and is
made by complicated and difficult
process. A Portland cement mill costs
about 100000 Since the establishment of
so many cement millsin this country
little cement has been imported from
England. believe cement buildings
will become as popular in this country
as they now are in England. The
only building in Kansas City built of
cement is the new power house for the
Kansas City Electric Light company
on the Kaw river bank near the Ar
mour packing plant"
