State supt. OF Schools Nelson has
completed the grading OF the examina.
ton papers of the four applicants for

highest grade and his name will be
submitted to Senator Smoot for the
appointment. Mr.. Coulter Is IL years OF
age and Is the son OF DR.. c. l.. and Mrs
Mary @. Coulter, His grades were such
as to lead Supt. Nelson TO believe that
he will pass the final examination for
entrance TO West Point, which will be
held at TT, Logan, Colo, on May l..
The grades of the other applicants
were such that the superintendent
deems II inadyisable TO submit any
Of their names for appointment as an
alternate for the reason that they
would be unable TO pass the final ex-
animation should they be called upon
TO take the same.

How DR.. Griswold Lost His Pajamas at

II the thief had only taken the grip,
but he took along among other things
a handsome suit OF silk pajamas In
which the gallant dentist proposed to
dazzle the natives OF Los Angeles and
Riverside, Consequently there Is grief.
DR.. Griswold Mad bought these pajamas
on the strength Of cordial invitation
from General Manager II. T.. Wells of

titled TO every cent Of this reward but
the police officials represented TO young
Prothero that 1t was the universal opln.
Ion OF the public that he BETRAYED his
chum' solely for the sake of the re-
ward, and that the way he could vlndi-
cate himself was to sign a Joint agree
ment with them 10 turn over $4,000 OF
the reward to the afflicted families of
the murdered men thus leaving but 5000
for Pr0thero. This agreement Prothero
signed readily.
The chief Of police armed with the
agreement at once made application
for the reward but was refused paw
lnent on the ground that II could not
be paid until Shockley was convicted.
and on the further ground that the
agreement was in no way binding; the
county commissioner holding the view
that Prothero alone was entitled to the
county and city reward.
Friends OF Prothero are intercedlng
In his behalf and will endeavor 10 sec
that justice Is done him. They hold
that he was unduly Influenced In sign
Ing the agreement and that better
form OF vindication would be for him
to insist on getting all that was coming
to him and then after he had received
II, to turn over what amount he saw ut
to the afflicted families, The outcome
will be watched with interest.
Percy is about q years old, He left
home few years ago to shift for him
self. He was employed for two years in
the Auditorium hotel in Chicago be-
sides a considerable time in one OF the
department stores, He bears good
reputation wherever he Is known.

AFTER THE MONEY.
Prothero's Friends Think He Alone is
Entitled to the Reward.

The friends of Percy Prothero, the
man who betrayed his pal shockley TO
the police and signed over $4,000 of the
reward offered 10 the families OF the
murdered street car men, are doing
everything possible to inyalidate the
agreement, claiming, as they do, that
he was unduly influenced in the matter
and that the money should be paid TO
him and him alone.
The matter Is discussed IN n recent
issue Of the Evening News, published
at Baraboo. Wis, Prothero's home
town. After recounting the story OF
the murder and the manner IN which
Information was given to the police, the
paper says:
A reward amounting TO $4,000
was offered by the street car company
and the city and county officials for
information leading 20 the arrest and
conviction OF the murderer OF the street
car men,
