That Military Road.

The bill making an appropriation
for a military road between Fort
Leavenworth and Fort Riley was be-
fore the senate committee on military
affairs The bill which was introduced
by Senator Curtis appropriates $780,
600 for 10 miles of road. Senator
Curtis made a statement in support of
it. He explained that the proposed
road could be constructed within the
appropriation as the material would be
given largely by residents along the
route and the work could be done by
federal convicts. The senator also
said that special agents had surveyed
three routes between the two forts
and that j. T. Voshell, under whose
direction these surveys had been made,
was ready to submit a report to the
Secretary of Agriculture. The com
mittee decided to call upon the sec
rotary for this report which will also
contain the estimates as to the cost.

ed school workers will be held at the
University of Kansas March 20 AMI

this conference will be European HIS
tory, American history and economics
An extensive programme is being pre-
pared, and, judging from the interest
manifested by all who attend these
meetings it promises to be one of the
largest in point of numbers, that has
ever convened at the university. The
university has been particularly for
tunate in being able to offer a course
of lectures by DIR. Lyman Abbott, edi-
tor of the Outlook, during the week
beginning March Is, and in order to
give the teachers of the state an op-
portunity to hear DR.. Abbott, the reg
.ular time for the conference has been
changed to an earlier date than has
been usual in the past. DR.. Abbott
will lecture at 4:30 on March 20 and
81, also on Thursday afternoon of
March 10, hence if any of those living
away from Lawrence can reach the
city on any of the noon trains they
will have an opportunity to hear Dr..
Abbott on that date.

four OFFICERS of the California Military
academy formerly the Arcadia hotei)'
The charge is assault and battery,
the complainant being Harold Ellis, the
discharged instructor in English.
Kent from the mess hall by cadets
ten days ago and stared at stonily by
the school faculty, the discharged
member determined to resort TO crim-
inal and perhaps civil courts.
The summonses are directed against
Mai. Edward H. Baker, superintendent
formerly of Harvard; Bartlett r.
Bishop, principal of the academy. and
two Of the cadets, Lieut.. Harry j.
Borde and Corporal Carl Birch. the
latter from Spokane. Birch's case VIII
be called first.
Charge Prejudice
Counsel for the academy asked thai
the officers of Santa Monica be de-
barred from sunamoning the panel, BE-
cause City Marshal Baretto refused tc
dispatch a patrolman to the academy
when Ellis defied the faculty and de-
unanded entrance to the dining room
after being notified that he was a tres
nasser. and moreover the city attorney
of Santa Moniot. is legal adviser FOL
Ellis.
Alleging prejudice, therefore, tht
academy officers will ask for specia
Jury to hear tho proceedings.
Ellis and his wife have left the in
stitution under protest but have threat
ened to make a red hot answer to any
charges that may be made.
Cadets who had taken sides against
the Ellises formed a line in front Of
the mess hall, after locking the doors
determining that no breakfast SHOULD
be served their former instructor.
Ellis came down alone and seeing the
line tried to 'buck' 1t as he would II

In the meantime Principal BishoI

resentative came.
Quits Under Protest
Finally, after severe talk by Maj
Baker. Ellis consented to depart will

His next move was to get the foul

these four men attacked him when HI
was trying to enter the dining room.
