President of Park College Denies
Some Charges.

@O-A4S ~Atse 3 Go
President L. NJ. McAfee of Park col
lege, Parkville. Mo, is in Topeka today
to find out whether it is true that
stenograp pliers representing the Park
college debaters were present at the
as charged, and made a complete report
OF all the Washburn debaters said for
the use of their opponents in the Park
Washburn debate
It seems that the report that stenog-
raphers were here is based on a state
ment made by Prof. ToWne Of Wash
burn, who claims to have seen the
stenographers taking down the speech
es- 1t IS said, however. that ToWne is
not sure that they were writing short
hand, and does not know who they were.
President McAfee denies indignantly
that the Park debaters have resorted
TO any such sharp practice as is
charged. He says that If they did, they
VIII be disqualified, while on the other
hand, if the charges are false, he will
demand that Prof. Towne make a SUIT
able retractiOn, and the morning paper,
which printed an editorial roasting
Park college, do likewise.
The Washburn preliminary debate to
select representatives for the inter-col-
legiate debate with Park college, was
on the same subject that will be used
in the final debate. Consequently it
would be of considerable advantage to
the Park college debaters to have
stenographic reports of the Washburn
boys arguments.
President McAfee thinks that if
stenographers did report the debate.
they did so without authority, simply
hoping to sell their report to the Park
debaterS.
