Law Applies.

In an opinion written today by As
sistant Attorney General John Dawson,
II Is held that the kindergarten law, en-
acted at the last session Of the leglsla-
ture. applies TO cities OF Kansas, as
well as TO rural schools.
The question was raised in letter Of
inquiry to State Superintendent of Edu-
cation E 7 Fairchild- The law simply
saws that the school board OF any school
district in the state shall have power
TO establish and maintain free kinder
gartens in connection with the pubic
schools for the instruction Of children
between 4 and years of age
Under the wording of the law it was
doubtful whether the city board CT edu-
catton had the right to establish free
lxinderEartens as 4 part of the public
school system Mr. Dawson holds that
since the schools OF city are under
the charge of q district organization,
and not of the city government, that
they are subject to the same authority
which the state superintendent has over
the country schools That being the
case. the kindergarten law applies to
them IS we'll as to the rural schools

yesterday morning, and when he left
his home he made no complaint, but
on the contrary that he felt in good
spirits.
Soon after beginning his work, how
ever, he grew weak and faint, and
several fellow employees about him
noticed his condition and offered their
aid but he said he would be better
in moment. He quickly grew worse
though, and when he attempted to
leave his desk he staggered and would
have fallen but for the assistance Of
other clerks.
DR.. r. T, Bicknell was sent for and
although he arrived promptly, Mr..
Smith was past all medical aid and
expired within a few moments.
Mr. Smith leaves a wife and two
daughters. The family residence is at

SPAIN'S KING WILL
TRY NEW CABINET
BY Associated Press.


MADRID, Jan. 25.-With five Liberal
ministries wrecked in eighteen months
owing to the irreconciable difference
between the leaders, King Alfonso to-
day decided that he had no alternative
except to recall Senor Maura, the ex-
premier and leader of the Conserva-
Gives, and ascertain what strong Con-
servative cabinet can accomplish.
The religious issue has been the root
of all dlssensions, ex-Prime Ministers
Rioes. Moret and Dominguez believing
that Spain is not ready for a radical
campaign against the religious orders
and the church generally, upon which
Senior Canelejas, ex-president of the
chamber of deputies and head of the
new party known as the Extreme
Liberals, insisted.
The accession of Senior Maura TO
power is regarded as sweeping victory
for the clericals and is likely to arouse
revolutionary spirit.
