MAY CHANGE
CONVENTION
Kansas City Likely to Lose the
National Prohibition COnyen.
ton Because of FOrfect

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
CHICAGO, H., Jan. 6.-Oliver w.
Stewart chairman of the prohibition
national committee, is awaiting word
from Kansas City regarding the cash
guarantee promised by that city when
awarded the prohibition national con-
venton. When the committee met in
this city last month and decided upon
Kansas City as the meeting place for
the national convention next June the
representatives of that city promised
a fund OF $12 900 for the convention and
were given until today to raise the
amount.
In the event of Kansas City failing
to fulfil the obligation a sub committee
of the national committee will meet
and select another place for the con-
vention. Buffalo stood second on the
vote which decided on Kansas City and
probably would be chosen in the event
a change is made, though Minneapolis,
indianapolis, Columbus and Milwaukee
would also be considered.

COLLEGE BRAINS
TO CONTEST
Grand IntercOIle giate Contest to
Be Arranged for the St.Louis
Fair Next Year

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller1
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 6.-Much has
been said and written about the inter
collegiate athletic games that are to
be a feature of the approaching worlds
fair, but it has remained for William b.
Ransom, president of the Cornell Uni-
versity debate council, to suggest that
contests of college brains as we'll as
college Drawn might be made an inter-
esting feature of the exposition. Me,
Ransom's idea, which has been favor.
ably received by the exposition direc-
tors, is for a grand intercollegiate de-
batting contest in which the leaindg col
leges and universities of the entire
country might be represented. At the
present time there are debating leagues
composed of groups of colleges such as
Yale, Harvard and Princeton in the
east, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota
in the Central States and University OF
California and Leland Stanford on the
Pacific coast. Mr. Ransom points out
that the type of speaking, thinking atd
debating done in these various sections
differs a great deal and he suggests
that 1t would be an interesting presen-
tation for the leaders of the carious
leagues to meet in ST Louis in, a grand
contest to determine the national
championship. The scheme has been
communicated to the heads of the vari-
Gus colleges and awaits their indorse-
ment.

|NQU|RING IN
SMOOT CASE
Senate Committee Will Take it
Up Saturday, January 9th
For Investigation

,cnecial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Senator
Burrows. who is chairman of the sem
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tions which is conducting the investi-
cation of the charges against Senator
Smoot of Utah, said yesterday that
the committee probably would meet on
saturday, January 9th, for the continu-
alton of the inquiry.
While Senator Burrows has received
no notification from Senator Smoot, he
thinks it probable that the reply of the
latter to the charges against him will
he ready by the time mentioned.
Senator Burrows would make no
forecast of the proceedings Of the COM
mittee. All depended, he said, upon the
nature of the response. Before going
to Salt Lake city Mr.. Smoot said that
he probably would deny some of the
charges and admit others, but nothing
regarding his course has been heard
since the adjournment of congress for
the holidays.
If Mr.. Smoot's denial is such as to
challenge the authenticity of the in
formation upon which the accusations
are based, it is the opinion of some of
the members of the committee that the
authors of the charges will be given an
opportunity to prove them, and in that
event there will be quite a general in
vestigation into the present-day prac-
tices of the Mormon church with refer
ence both to marriage and politics. The
committee, however. has reached no
conclusion looking to such course.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 6.-Judge Ker-
stems court was crowded today when
the four young desperados, Marx, Me
dermeier, Van Dine and Roeski, were
arraigned for trial. Motions for
postponement of the case and for sep
arate trials have both been overruled
and it is expected that the trial will
be concluded within a week. The con-

prosecution in preparing its case and
the states attorney appears confident
of securing the conviction of the four

the exception of small offenses of lar

men, wounded several others, robbed

street car barns, and attempted to dy-

were committed within two months.

was the car-barn robbery on August
