HOCH DIDN'T SIGN 1T.
Compulsory Flag Bill Law Without
His Signature.

One of the laws enacted at the pres
ent session of the legislature has be-
| come law without the approval of the
governor. That law is what is known
aJ the flag law requiring the schoo
board of every school district in the
state to provide flag staff and fas
for the school, and see to it that the
flag is kept flying at all times in fai1
weather.
Governor Hoch refused to sign this
bill because he Gees not believe in what
he calls statutory patriotism"
The thing to which I objected most
in that bill" said Governor Hoch this
morning, lis the provision requiring the
state superintendent to provide for ev-
cry school in the state a sort of pro-
gramme to be gone through with every
morning. including a salute of the flag.
1t seems to me that if I was a
school boy, and was required every
morning to salute the flag, it would
not tend to make me love the flag any
more. The chances are that I would
consider it a good deal of a nuisance,
and would come out of school with less
respect for a flag that had to be sa =
luted by law than had I been left to
salute the flag as / pleased.
1t will probably cost several hun
dred thousand dollars to put this law
into effect in every schoo. district in the
state, and out in western Kansas, if
theI attempt to keep the flag flying all
the time the wind will switch out a
flag into shreds in a few weeks. 1t
However, I decided not to veto the
bill because it contains no penalty
clause. 1t became law without my
signature"
The fact that the bill has no penalty
clause will make it practically in
operative, except when the school dis
trict board desires to follow the spirit,
rather than the letter, of the law.
The total number of bills which
have been signed by the governor up

Six Bandits Take Part in the
Attempted Robbery.

Wichita, Kan, March 12.-The Union
State bank of Hunnewell, Kan, was
wrecked by safe blowers early today.
Five distinct explosions aroused the
residents who gave chase to the burg
lars. The robbers covered their retreat
by firing at their pursuers and escap-
ing on hand car. The amount secured
can not be estimated at present. Posses
are being formed to intercept the ROB
bers.
The hand car the Hunnewel kan,
bank robbers used in making their
escape after blowing the safe early to-
dav was found in a weed patch in the
outskirts of Caldwell this morning
The robbers went north from Hume
well four miles to Haven and from that
town went west II miles to Caldwell,
where the hand car was abandoned
and hid.
With this hand car was found sew
eral pieces of clothing stained with
blood. 1t is believed the last charge
fired by the robbers in an effort to
open the bank vault injured one of
them Blood was found on the VIM
dow through which they escaped from
the bank building.
1t is believed that six men took part
in the attempt at robbery. Detectives
have gone from this city to Caldwell,
and the posse that followed the rob-
bers have arrived at Caldwell to take
UP the trail from that point.

The lena was undergoing inspection
of her machinery in the first basin OF
the Missiessy dock when the explo-
sion occurred. The conclusion caused
by the explosion of a compressed air
torpedo set fire to the after powder
magazine blowing the whole after
part of the vessel up.
The lena was flying the flag of Rear
Admiral Manceron commanding one
of the distinctions of the Mediter-
ranean squadron. The commander OF
the vessel was Captain Adgirard.
Squads of workmen and sailors ap-
preached the scene of the disaster at
the peril of their lives and as they
neared the Iena's dock they could
dimly observe through dense smoke
the air, following further explosions of
the doomed vessel. which presented a
terrifying spectacle and caused the
arsenal employees to wiring their hands
with horror.
Suddenly blackened forms with hag-
gard eyes rushed madly through the
lines of spectators, not knowing where
they were fleeing.
Semiofficial figures state that it is
certain that over so of the Iena's crew
were killed, 100 were seriously injured
and 200 were slightly wounded. The
officials say that these returns are
probably under the mark.
