It is the advice of Insley L. Dayhoff.
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton. to the colored people of Wichita
that they see to it that their children
attend the public schools in that city
under the conditions laid down by the
board of education, pending he de-
termination by the courts as to the
right of the board to separate the
blacks from the whites. And it is Mr..
Dayhoff's suggestion to the board of
education of that city that II the col
ored people still refuse to send their
children to school, it is their duty to
enforce the truancy law.
When the schools of Wichita were
opened week ago, according to
previous announcements by the board
of education, four rooms were set apar.
in one Of the schools for the use Of
colOred pupils. Parents Of the colored
children objected to this segregation
and refused to permit their children
to register in the schools under these
conditions As a result only five negro
pupils registered in. the grade schools
and the colOred people have brought
a suit in the courts to test the right Of
the Wichita board OF education to pro-
vide separate school facilities for the
blacks and whites
The situation at Wichita is a trihe
peculiar. Under an act passed by the
last legislature boards of education in
cities of the first class are permitted
If they 50 desire, to provide separate
school facilities for negro children.
Wichita is a city Of the first class, but
It's schools are conducted under a spe-
cial act Of the legislature, which does
not provide for the separation Of the
school children because of their color

FOUR DEEDS ARE OUT.
Grant TangIe Over Title to Real
Estate Building.

With four deeds existing to the Same
piece of property and in addition de-
cree of the United States court giving
possession the real ownership of the Real
Estate building is badly involved.
The Real Estate building was pre-
sented by c.. ]. Devlin to the Church of
the Assumption with an idea ttsat it
should form the nucleus of a Catholic
home to be established by one of the or
derS of the church. DeVlin expected, it
is said. TO contribute literally to the in
stitutien and in course of time the whole
half block lying between Seventh and
Eighth on Jackson street was to be
given over for the building and rs~Ounds
of the institution With the demise of
Devlin the plans failed
The deed for the Real Estate building
which was the first gift which Deviin
made was rendered to Father Hayden,
but the latter refused to accept the deed.
However, the deed was executed, but III
whose possession it now is seems to, be
a matter of speculation. To keep the
transfer of the property hidden it was
finally decided to make the deed In the
name of P j. Mona gfan, prominent in
the local Knights of Columbus circles
and a member of Assumption parish.
This was deed No. 2.
Then came deed No. 8. c. P. Bolmar
who was acting as agent for the build
ing was given a deed as trustee by P. J.
Monaghan. II wanted to be relieved of
the worry and care in connection with
the building and so just made out a
deed to Mr. Bolnar,'' said Mr.. Mon
Afghan.
Deed No. 4 appeared when the build
ing was turned over by c. J. Devlin al
the time of the failure of the First Ma
tfonal bank to Receiver James T. Brad
ley To further clinch the claim Of the
bank to the building the United States
circuit court by a decree from Judge
Pollock gave the bank the building.
Therefore the building has four deeds
and q decree of the court comforting
ownership to almost as many different
parties. The property is valued at Ssh,
600 with an incumbrance Of $4,000 AMI
an equity of $4,000.
Though a lawsuit threatened for a
time this apparently has blown over and
a compromise promises to result by
which the claims of conflicting parties
will be settled amicably. Quit claim
deeds will be given it is said by the var
ious interests to one of those no* hold
ing a deed.
Il think that the matter will be set
tied up in a very few hours and that
Father Hayden be given a deed from c.
P Bolmar which will settle the whole
matter" said Monaghan
Mr.. Devlin was a very generous man
and he didn't want it known that he
was giving this property in this manner.
For that rea2on the deed was made in
my name

But the board of education there de-
cided this year to separate the chill
dren in the grade schools and, as
stated, set aside four rooms for them
in one of the schools.
while 1 think that under the spe-
cial law by which the Wichita schools
are organized" said Mr.. Dayhoff today
in talking over the situation at Wich-
tia. the colored children viii probably
win as there Is no authority for
separate schools in that act, still it
would be far better for the children
to attend the schools in the rooms set
apart for them pending the final de-
cisi0n Of the question in the courts
than to run up against the truancy law,
which already has been tested. There
are about four hundred negro children
in Wichita who are liable to punish
ment for not attending the schools
Their parents are equally liable for not
letting their children attend the
schools or compelling them to do so.
1T seems to me that the negroes are
making a mistake and that it may cost
them dearly by not sending their chill
drFn to school and then fighting the case
in the courts. The board of education
may win on the theory that it has as
much right to designate where a child
is to attend school as they have to make
certain school districts; order that Ger
tain grades shall be held in certain
schools; and that certain classes are to
be held in certain rooms. The board Of
education should take steps to compel
the negro children to attend school. and
If they refuse why the board should be-
gin the enforcement of the 1ruancy law
against them and their parents"
Mr.. DayhOn is getting expressions Of
opinion from ali classes of persons on
the question of having separate schools
for the whites and blacks and has re-
ceived the following letter from J. Silas
Harris a negro, who is principal of the
Penn school in Kansas City, No:
while have no disposition to med
die in Kansas affairs only IN so far as
they concern the whole race. I can say.
however, without hesitancy that were I
a resident of your state. ! would, If the
facilities were equal, be unreservedly
in favor of separate schools. The con-
tention for mixed schools by members
of my race in Kansas is not calculated
to bring about that harmony between
the two races which all true race men
