MANY GIRL TEACHERS
FOuND:TO BE CHEATS

Minneapolis, Sept. l0--Tweuty young
women who nave been teachers In the
state public schools have been disquali-'
fed because of attempts to alter the
credit marks on their old certificates,
two Others have been rejected for
cheating in their examinations.
This action has been taken by the
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton in connection with the examina-
ton for state teachers certificates held
in July. When the examination papers
We're sent in and the Ole certificates of
the candidates We're submitted for con-
sideration 1t was found that twenty
of the certificates had been altered to
show higher credits than We're granted
originally. The changes We're cas- of
detection. as the state educational de-
Rartment has complete records of all
certificates.
Aunt Pleads Guilty.
In one other case 1t was found that q
certificate had been raised, but an unit
of he girl who held the certificate.
made affidavit that IL was she who had
committed the offense and that the girl
knew nothing of it. On this representa-
ton the superintendent withheld action.
Two giris who took the state ex-
animation in n of the northern
ties admitted that they had exchanged
notes aud their certificates We're re-
voked.
This action OF the state superintend-
ent nullifes all former credits in every
case, and any of the girls who may
wan to teach in future III one OF the
state schools must begin all over again
to establish ner qualifications. And
ven should one of them succeed in
passing the scholarship examinations,
she would be likely to find difficulty

COURT KNOCKS OUT
CHICAGO TRACTION DEAL

Chicago. Sept. 10-The order recently
entered by Judge Grosscup in the
United States circuit court directing
the receivers Of the Union Traction
company. which operates the street car
systems on the north and west sides
over to a new corporation called the
Chicago Railways company for twenty
years has been reversedcby the United
States court OF appeals. The decision
.renlands the case to the United States
circuit u n leaves the traction
situation where it was before the for
NATION of the Chicago Railways COM
many.
1t was the opinion of the court of APP
pcals hat Judge Grosscup had no
power to give possession to the Chicago
Railways without the consent
of the bondholders and stockholders OF
the underlying companies. The de-
''cision declares that the only manner in
which h Chicago Railways company
can ecure possession of the traction
property is through negotiations with
the stockholders and the bondholders.
The action taken by the court of APP.
2eals hinged entirely on the question
of Jurisdiction. The power OF Judge
GrosScup to issue the order in ques.
ton was the only act assailed.
AS the ordinance under which this
Chicago Railways company is operat.
ing expires by limitation September Il
it will be impossible for the company
to obtain possession of the propertie:
by that time. The entire situation
therefore reverts to the period wheE
h properties were held by receivers
and before the unification of the north
and west side lines was undertaken.
AS a result of the decision the ordi-
nance ratified by the people last spring
under which 1t was hoped the entirs
traction question would be settled, /,
void n the situation more chaotj
than ever.

Washington, Sept. 11.-United states
senator Borah, OF Idaho, indicted on a
charge of defrauding the national gov
eminent in land deals, and who will
be tried September %. continues to
maintain he is innocent and the stories
are brought to Washington and carried
to the president that he has been I'M
justly indicted through a purpose to
binder him in the pending trial of Petit

The result is the department of JUS
tice has been looking into the facts.
In some quarters there is a disposition
to blame District Attorney Ruick and
To charge him with being in sympathy
with the Western Federation of Miners.
Ruick's course, it is known, is being
looked into. Judge Burch, of the de-
partnent of justice, one of the gov
Grnnent'S special attorneys in the ham
ding of land fraud cases, will con-
duct the case against Borah for the
government.
Ruick is likely to be removed if it is
found there was no warrant for Borah'S
Indictment. Borah maintains that while
he was counsel for the Barber Lumber
company, he had nothing to do with the
Illegal entry of timber lands by the
company INC knew nothing about deal

What has impressed the resident and

Third by the Friends.

Next Sunday, at the regular annual

is expected that all the people in that
section of the county will attend the
ceremony.
1t will be an all day meeting and
those who attend will bring their own
dinners Services will be held in the
morning and then the observances of
the one hundredth birthday of the
church. which is probably the oldest in
the county. viii take place The pro-
gram for the event will not be an elab-
crate one. j. s. Helms. clerk of the
church. will read a carefully prepared
history of the church. which incident
ally will be a history of the part OF
the county in which the church is To-
Gated. This history will be of great
interest. Following the reading of the
history of the church several addresses
will be given by pioneer residents
II is known that the church was
founded in 1907. but the day and
month is not known. owing to the fact
that nearly all the earlier records of
the church were burned years ago.
Lazarus Whitehead. probably the first
settler in southern Wayne county. do
mated the grounds on which the orig
inaI church was built. This first
church was made of logs and two years
later 1t was destroyed by fire A more
modern church was built. and it stood
until 1912. when the present church
was built. The Elkhorn church Gem
etery is the Oldest in the county and
the first white child born in the coun-
ty was buried there. This child wa<
the daughter of John Beard and she
was buried in the summer of 1908. The
first marriage in the church was that
of Miss May Whitehead and John
Hunt This was also the first marriage
ceremony performed in the county. It
is a peculiar thing that the first
church was Baptist, the second one
Methodist Episcopal and the present
one Friends.

Jury Returned a Verdict in
Favor of Herbert Wicket
Despite the Evidence.
HE PROVED AN ALIBI.
CHARGES AGAINST ALLEN, MIL
TON AND RYLE WERE DIS
MISSED UPON MOTION BY THE
PROSECUTOR.

Herbert Wicket was found guilty
Wednesday evening on a charge of ma
licious trespass. The case was on
trial Wednesday in the city court and
the jury, which did not return a ver-
dict until about 7:3O o'clock. 1t was
Will Ryle and Jim Allen, on the even
ing of May 13. opened sluice in the
grounds. and that the damage done
amounted to 81.
Allen, Milton and Ryle turned states
evidence against Wicket, but even
this testimony failed to convince the
jury of Wickett's guilt. Attorney By
ram c. Robbins, for the defendant had
Wicket testify that he was not on the
grounds of the Reid hospital on the
night of May IS. and Bill Musser. sa-
loon keeper. swore that Wicket spent
the greater part of that evening in his
saloon.
In his argument Mr.. Robbins asked
the jury not to return a verdict against
the defendant because in case they did
so the costs of the case would have to
be paid by '.the poor, white-haired
father of the defendant" This argu-
ment. combined with the fact that the
destruction of the property was only
valued s. seemed to have its effect
on the jury.
Allen. Ryle and Milton were dis
charged on a motion made by the pros
ecutor who stated that they had earn
ed their liberty by making truthful
statements while on the witness stand
According to the evidence introduced
in the case. jim Allen did not take an
active part in opening the sluiee.
