to be based solely upon the informa-
ton that one of the boys had priced

from the laboratory.
A public apology has been made by
DR.. Norman Plass, president of Wash
burn college. entirely clearing Kurt,
and Louis Zutavern and Louis Brink
man, the academic students who were
accused of the theft.
Mr. Fred Zutavern, of Great Bend,
the father of the Zutavern boys,
arrived in the city, accompanied by his
attorney. Mr.. VIM. Osborn, in response
to a letter from his sons detailing the
circumstance of the search of their
rooms and the baggage of one of the
boys for the missing articles by the
college authorities.
Mr. Zutavern had a lengthy confer
ence with DR.. Plass at the Office of the
president this morning and the
apology which DR.. Plass offered was
accepted by Mr.. Zutavern. He is in
clined to make the best of the affair,
and said:
1.-THE whole matter was an extreme
~ unfortunate one I am very sorry
that the boys should have been sub
jected to the indignities under which
they suffered. But that is all over
now. and is a part of an incident that
it is better to leave without raking
over. Ny one son has completed his
examinations and VIII return home
with me while my other son will re-
main until he completes his examina-
tons"
The apology which DR.. Plass tend
cred follows:
The authorities of Washburn col
lege desire to say that the students,
Kurt and Louis zutavern and Louis
Brinkman. whose rooms. were entered
and searched for the valuable articles
stolen from the laboratories, are freed
from all suspicion in the matter. and
that we deeply regret the notoriety
that was given the incident by outside
parties and the press.
The line of circumstantial evidence
was such that the chief of police, the
county attorney and others, advised
the course pursued, and all that was
done was in strict accordance with
that advice.
The trustees are DESTROYS of dis
charging their trust, and must take
the customary precautions in the pro-
lection as well as in the acquisition OF
their property. In the present inr
stance, however, the chain of eircum-
stances proved faulty, the boys are
wholly exonerated, and the college au-
thorities desire to give the public this
explanatory statement

PLASS MAKES APOLOGY
Fred Zutavern, Father ofAccused
Brothers, Is Here.
College Authorities Place Blame
Tor Mistake ON officers.

S. C. Pennick, A. G. Trolbert and
William Howe were arrested today by
Detectives Pavey and Gofr on a charge
of grand larceny, preferred by Dr.
Norman Plass. president Of Washburn
college.
The three boys are held for stealing
$3.50 worth of property from the
Washburn laboratory, and have prac-
tically admitted the theft. The proper
ty was recovered by the detectives, who
found it at the residence of Pennick,
who lives at Fifteenth and Fillmore
streets.
The stolen property consisted of two
cameras, a stop-watch. some photo
graphing plates and various scientific
Instruments One of the cameras,
which is valued at $50, was the prop
erty of Prof Shattuck of the science
department of the college. The other
articles were college property. The
three young men arrested are not stu
dents of the college.
The trio are all implicated in the
theft. although the burden of the
actual crime seems to fall upon Troll
bert. Pennick claims that he was just
keeping the stolen property for the
other boys. Howe claims that he did
not enter the building when the prop

of the stairway while the theft was
being committed. Two or three trips
were made to carry away the stuff. the
camera being stolen first and the other
trips being made to secure plates for
the same.
Trolbert and Pennick were locked up
in the county Jail at noon today, and
Howe was turned over to his father.
He made a clean breast CT the affair,
and il is probable that he will not be
prosecuted by the college authorities.
The capture and confession Of Pen
nick, TroIbert and Howe completely
clears the names of the three college
boys who were accused of the theft
and subjected to the indignity of being
searched for the stolen property last
Friday The college officials who
were so hasty in charging the stu
dents found themselves in an mbar-
RAISING situation when the search
failed TO show any evidence agains st
the suspects. and the enba rrassment
was not Iightened any by the arrest
and confession of the real culprits.
The mistake was the result of the
''prema ture explosion" Of the profess
sors who handled the affair in d high
handed way of their own instead of
asking assistance from trained officers.
Their excuses for suspecting the stu
dents were. very flinsy. and seemed

CHEAPER FOR POWER USERS.
They VIII Get Advantage of Reduce,
Electrical Rates.

The Topeka Edison Light and Pow
er company is now on the market for
contracts, at reduced rates, to furnish
power to manufacturers. The capacity
of the plant has been increased to
such an extent that the company has
to drum up business and find a market
for the surplus power.
The reduction of rates to power
users is the result of the vast improves
ments on the plant, which is now pre-
pared to supply double the amount OF
condensed lightning used in the city.
The company will attempt to Offer
such inducements that manufacturers
and power users who are now using
steam can afford to install electricity.
The fact that the Edison company is
willing to enter into long time con-
tracts with power users seems to be a
sufficient guarantee of the ability OF
the plant TO meet all demands. The
cut-rate is also an inducement to new
manufacturing enterprises.

their number was on the bottom of the
