PROF. TOWNE RESIGNS.
Teacher of Oratory in Washburn
Leaves Faculty.

Professor Orwell B. Towne. who for
the past five years has held the chair
of oratory at Washburn college, today
submitted his resignation to the trus-
tees of the college. Professor Towne
has been contemplating resigning fo-
the past two years and it has taken
much persuasion on the part of the
authorities of the college to induce him
to remain. His resignation was sub
mitted as Mr.. Towne has long believed
that a change would be better for him
and because he has desired a larger
field for work. His resignation will be
passed upon at the meeting of the
trustees which will be held tomor-
row.
Professor Towne came to Washburn
as instructor in oratory September
1902. Two years ago he was made a
full professor in his department and
holds the distinction of being the only
head of this department at Washburn
who has held this rank.
Professor ToWne during his career
with Washburn has done a great deal
of work throughout the state in the tn
terests of the college. He has spent his
vacations in touring the state getting
rev students to come to the school and
has done very valuable work for the
college. In submitting his resignation
this morning Prof. Towne said that he
harboIed no i'll feeling to any one con-
nected with Washburn and that his res
ignation was purely for his own person.

Lawlor, who was formerly with Okla

there this spring, has been signed up

JUSTICE GREEN IS LOW.
Fears Entertained that Justice of SUI
preme Court Won't Recover.

Adrian L. Greene, senior justice OF
the Kansas supreme court, who lives
at 1857 western avenue in this city, is
reported to be in a very serious con-
dition of health, and his friends and
family fear that he may not recover.
Justice Greene has been sick in bed
for several weeks with a complication
of stomach and kidney troubles. The
attending physicians fear that uric
poisoning may ensue.
Saturday Justice Greene was con-
siderably better, but this was followed
by a turn for the worse. Today his
condition is reported to be slightly
improved. He spent good night, but
is in a nervous condition.
The doctors are trying to build up
Mr.. Greene's condition so that he can
be taken to Battle Creek, Mich,
where he visited once before, when in
a similar condition, and was much
benefited thereby.

Topeka FIRM WINS.
Zercher Book Company Awarded Con-
tract for State Stationery.

The executive council today awarded
the contract for furnishing all the sta
tionery for the state house during the
coming year to the Zercher Book and
Stationery company of Topeka. There
were four competitors for the job: The
Hall company. the Crane company and
the Zercher company of Topeka, and
the Willard company of Wichita.
The only string tied to the bid was
that the secretary of state was in
structed to investigate and see whether
he could detect any evidence of COM
bine or trust. 1t is not believed that
there will be anything of this nature
revealed. Mr.. Zercher says:
II know that it is absolutely false to
say that there is any combine between
bidders on this stationery, or that there
ever has been so far as / am concern
ed. This is merely a charge made by
Governor Hoch, and there is no foUn-
dation for it, The members of the
council know that there is nothing IL
the charge. The bidders for these con-
tracts have been offering stationery TO
the state at just about cost, except
that time when the council rejected all
bids. We were mad then, and don't
