TO STAMP OUT SOCIETIES.
College of Emporia Begins War by
Suspending Six Pupils.

Emporia, Kan. Dec. 4.-Six boys of
the College of Emporia were suspend
ed because of their connection with
a society formerly a local Greek letter
fraternity. The boys suspended were:
Aston McCarty, Edmond Riggs, Hum
phrey Jones. Curt Allen and Ray
Everett of Emporia and Edwin Dun
naway of Oswego. More than a. year
ago the college faculty placed a ban
on fraternities by compelling students
to pledge that they would belong to
none while in school, and by forbid
ding the wearing of Greek letter pins
by the students. The boys suspended
had been members of the Beta Theta
Kappa fraternity, local chapter, and
when the edict against fraternities went
out they tried to conform to the rules
by disa ociating it from the school.
The boys were suspended for the re-
nainder of the school year.

Pays a Glowing Tribute to Land
of Southern Cross.
HE LIKES THE PEOPLE
His Coming Fight With Jack
Johnson His Last.
Wife Successfully Pleads for
Him to Quit the Ring.

San Francisco, Dec. According to
a letter received by Larry Heating OF
Oakland a brother-in-law of Tommy
Burns, America has seen the last of the
Caribou champion. In writing to Keat-
ing, Burns pays a glowing tribute to
the land of the southern cross, and
says he will make it his home.
Il don't think I will ever go back to
America, writes Burns, land if 1 do
it will only be for a visit. This coun-
try has improved my wife's health, and
/ think 1 will settle here. 1 am in
right from the governor general down,
and the people of this country are the
grandest sports in the world"
Burns is hunting at Kosciusko. a
mountainous country about 400 miles
from Sydney. In his party are his
wife, his sparring partner, Pat O'Keefe,
and Promoter Mcintosh, who arranged
the Johnson Burns fight. Burns says
Mcintosh has plenty of money and that
he will make the fight pay.
johnson doesn't need to worry"
says Tommy. for the purse money is
up in the office of the Sydney referee
and is safe. Jack is getting $1,000 for
his end, win or lose, and $500 for his
end of the moving pictures. He also
gets three round trip tickets from Lon
don."
It seems likely that Burns will quit
the ring without giving any of the
American heavies except Johnson, a
whack at him. Perhaps Tommy feels
that he would not prosper in this coun-
try, and as he has plenty of money
now it is a good time for him to re-
linquish his title. Says Burns:
This is the last fight 1 will ever
make, and win or lose with Johnson
will retire. My wife has pleaded with
me to do this. and am going to grant
her wish. will never fight again af-
ter the Johnson fight, and that goes.
1 feel that 1 ought to stop anyhow
while 1 am young and full of vim. 1
intend to go in business here after the
big fight, if L can see good open
ing and there are plenty of them
here. 1 have enough money to keep
us the rest of our lives. and that is all
I want"

COTTON SEED PRODUCTS.
Experiments With Undecortiated
Meal Made by Germany.

Special Agent A. G. Perkins writes
from Hanover, April 81, of the ex-
periments made at the agricultural
station of Gottingen with undecor-
ticated cotton seed meal:
Prof DR.. Franz Lehman. director
of the agricultural station at Got
tingen, has just completed expert
ments OF feeding undecorticated cot
ton seed meal to sheep. | visited him
by appointment at the agricultural
station and learned that the meal
used was made in Germany of
Egyptian cotton seed, and by analy-
sis contained an average of 1858
per cent protein and 4.63 per cent of
fat in the dry substances, which
means water extracted. The daily
rations fed were two-thirds pound
cotton seed meal and IL pound hay
the latter containing 9S1 per cent
and 2.96 per cent of protein and
fat, respectively DR.. Lehman was
pleased with the results. He is pre-
pairing report for publication. The
experiment station is a government
institution and branch of the aca-
deny at Gottingen, The reports when
published are copied by nearly all
the agricultural papers of the EN-
pire and of course obtain a very
wide circulation Asked about the
hulls in the meal, DR.. Lehman said
he was more friendly to bulls than
other chemists, as they certainly
have a feeding value and are not in
furious, though he said cows have
become sick that were fed cotton
seed meal, a kind of intoxication, as
he expressed it. DR.. Lehman said
that, while American cotton seed
meal is the best that comes to this
market on account of the high
grade protein and fat contents, which
in his table he places at 1872 per
cent protein and 1926 per cent fat
(water free analysis, the price has
gotten SO, high the Germans are look
