KANSAS SCHOOL TEACHERS
DEFEND THEIR RIGHTS

Newton. Kans.. Aug. 25.-The teach
ers of Kansas are up against the rule
which is being generally adopted by
school boards, on the recommends
tion of the state board of education.
forbidding courting by teachers dur
ing school terms. Harvey county
teachers yesterday. at the close of
the normal institute, adopted the fol
lowing resolutions:
Whereas. Our fathers came to
Kansas in pursuance Of a high and
holy desire to establish the mstitu-
tions of freedom and equality on Kan
sas soil and did heroic service in the
dark and bloody days of the border
war to establish constitutional liber-
~ in this state; therefore, be it
"ResoIved. That we view with
alarm the tendency of school boards
in certain parts of Kansas To adopt
harsh and oppressive measures in re-
striction of our sacred and inalien-
able rights; that to submit to such
tyranny would prove us to be unwor-
thy children of such noble parentage;
that a large percentage of our teach
ers being marriageable. we urge up
on all the necessity of vigorous and
unceasing rebellion against this at
tempt to deprive rs of our right to
court and be courted.

MANY LOSE LIFE IN FIRE
HORROR AT BUDA PEST

Budapest. Hungary, Aug. %. - Fire
broke out in n four-story building the
two lower stories of which were Oc-
cupied by a fancy goods firm and the
upper floors are residential flats. There
were 200 work people In the building
and the escape of many of them and
of the residents on the third and fourth
floors was cut off by the flames.
Only the work people near the doors
below were able TO effect their escape.
The residents above. seeing their es-
cape cut off. clung desperately to the
windows. screaming for help. The fire
men held out sheets of canvas and
called to them to jump. Fifteen per-
sons were saved in this way, but many
in jumping missed the sheet.

FRAUD CHARGED
LOTTERY OWNERS
Promised in Connection
With Mexican Insti-
tutiOns.

City of Mexico, Aug. 25.-A sensa-
tion is promised in connection with
the lotteries that have been run in
Mexico, in which Americans have
been heavy investors. Two cOmpan-
les involved are the Beneficia and the
National. They have been run under
license of the general government,
and many charges against them have
lately been preferred.
An American detective, it is claim
ed, has secured evidence that it is i'm
possible to win over $40 in either of
them. Two prizes of 100000 having
been awarded to the wife of President
Diaz, president of Mexico, for adver-
tising purposes, purely. 1t is claimed
that the drawings have been made
from the unsold tickets left in the
hands of the companies.
The earnings of the companies are
So, 900 Il year, the Mexican gov
ernment getting $5,0OO,000. The net
profits of the owners are estimated at
S,OOO,O 600 year. 1t is probable that
in view of the revelations that have
been made the government will make
an investigation. Americans who have
been duped will of course have moth
ing to say for they have been en-
gagged in traffic that is prohibited by
law
