NIGHT RIDERS ON TRIAL.
Having Hard Time TO Select Jury for
Rankin Murder.

Union City, Tenn, Dec. 17.-That J.
H. Russell, the first juror selected in
the trial of the eight night riders
charged with the murder of Captain
Quentin Rankin, is the father of Chas.
Russell, known night rider. who will
be used as witness, was the state
ment made by the state when court
opened today. Russell admitted the
claim of the state, and was excused by
the court over the protests OF the de-
Tense.
Right on the heels of this sensation
the state threw another bombsheil
into the ranks of the defense when it
held that instead of "a peremptory
challenges for each of the eight de-
PENDANTS, the defense since the men
were being tried Jointly had only "a
for all. Inasmuch as the defense has
used 26 challenges, already. this con-
tention would force the selection of the
next eleven men who were accepted
by the state or court.

PERKINS BILL PASSES.
No Dissenting Vote OH Secret Service
Measure in House.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Chairman Per-
kins, of the house special committee,
appointed to recommend course of ac-
ton relative to the suggestions of the
president in his annual message con-
corning the secret service, to which
members of congress have taken excep-
ton, presented report of that COM
mittee at the beginning of today's ses-
sion of the house.
The report recommends the adoption
of a resolution calling upon the presi-
dent to supply the house with the evil
dence upon which he based his state
ment that the members of the house
were principally concerned over the fact
that the secret service men had been in
vestigating members themselves.
The house adopted the Perkins reso-
luton in regard to the president and the
secret service without dissenting vote
and after very little comment. Mr..
Cochran, New York, suggested that it
should be made applicable to congress
as a whole and not merely to the house.
but the change was not made.
In the preamble to the resolution it
is declared that the plain meaning of
the presidents word is that the ma
jority of the congressman were in fear
of being investigated by secret service
men and that congress as a whole was
actuated by that motive in enacting the
provision in question:
The text of this resolution follows:

queSted to transmit to the house any

of the provision was that the congress-

MCPHERSON TEsTIFIEs.
Missouri Pacific Official on the Stand
i'm Missouri River Case.

Kansas City, Mo. Dec. 17.-C. j.
Mcpherson, assistant general mana
ger of the Missouri Pacific railroad,
resumed the, stand this morning in
the Missouri rate case hearing. 1t is
understood that only three more wit
nesses will testify. Until Mr.. Nc
Pherson took the stand all of the wit
ST. Louis & San Francisco railroad,
but as much of their testimony was
of an expert nature it will not be
necessary to repeat 1t IN the case OF
the total 1 s railroads involved.
Mr.. McPherson's statements were
on the same order as those of the pre-
ceeding witnesS-that it was 1mpos-
sible for the railroads to operate I'M
der the two cent passenger rate ex-
cept at a loss and that the greater
cost of handling state freight over in
terstate freight makes the maximum
freight rate a hardship.
Mr.. Mcpherson was cross examined
TODAY at length by F. w. Lehman one
of the attorneys for the state. But few
facts desired by the state were secur-
ed however, according to the view of
Sanford B. Iadd, another lawyer rep
resenting the prosecution and ne was
moved to say:
''The state is up against it. We have
no specialists, and even with the freest
access to the railroad records we can
not develop evidence to the same ex-
tent as the railroad specialists.
Mr. Mcpherson had said that the
Missouri Pacific had reduced it's work
ing force one-half between November,
1907, and April, 1909, and that the
August report for 1908. had shown
that the force had increased.
you had failed in your fat years
to make provisions for the lean
years?'' Mr.. Leman asked
''That is a feature of the policy you
will have to inquire about of some
one else replied Mr.. Mcpherson.

tors produced by Washburn in recent
years. He has done good work in the
oratorical department of the college
and is one Of the most active members
of the Gamma Sigma Literary society.
He represented Washburn in debate
against Baker university last spring
and it is in great measure due to his
excellent work there that the Washburn

SLAYER IS LYNCHED.
Elmer Hill Pays Penalty to Mob for
Killing Young Girl.

Lexington, Ky. Dec 17.-Elmer
Hill, charged with the murder of
Mamie Womack in Adair county, was
dragged from the Jail at Monticello.
Wayne county, last night, carried four
miles to Greasy creek and there
hanged to a tree. His body was dis
covered there this morning by passers
by who had heard nothing of the
mob's action last night Z
The mob worked quietly, coming
from the direction of Adair and Rus
sell counties. They broke down the
Jail doors, dragged Hill out, protest
ing innocence, placed him on a horse
and took him to Greasy creek where
he was given a few minutes to pray
before being hanged.
No shots were fired and no mutila-
ton of the body offered. The mob
then quietly dispersed. The body was
cut down this morning.
After an assault Hill killed his
cousin, 8 years old, Mary Womack,
in Adair county last week. Twice
mobs formed to lynch him but were
prevented. Last night no warning
had been received and the mob
worked without real interference.

COMBINE TWO SCHOOLS.
Plan Chancellor Strong Advocates in
Report to the Governor.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 17.-Chancellor
Frank Strong of the University of kan
sas believes that the state is not using
it's educational funds to the best adj
vantage so long as Kansas continues
to maintain two schools of engineering
and fine arts, one at the university in
Lawrence and the other at the agri-
cultural college in Manhattan. This, DR..
Strong says, is not only expensive but
unnecessary.
1t is in his biennial report to the gov
ernor that Chancellor Strong Will make
his ideas public concerning what should
be done to prevent duplication in the
two big state educational institutions
the university and agricultural college.
The report contains 10000 words. 1t
deals with almost every phase of edu-
To eliminate the rivalry between the
schools at Lawrence and Manhattan,
and to get them on better working
basis, Dr.. Strong suggests five possible
plans:
F'irst-To remove both institutions
and place them on one campus.
Second-The removal of the agricul-
tural college to Lawrence.
Third-The union of the two institu-
tions in administrations.
Fourth-The agricultural college may
be restricted in it's duplication of work
by legislative action, as the constitution
does not prevent such action as 1t does
in the university.
Fifth-The agricultural college may
be left free to develop in a full round
ed university.
The chancellor takes the stand that
of these possible means of settling the
difficulties existing, the best is the third
plan-the union of the two institutions
in administration, but only on condition
that unity be made complete, not only
in the board of regents, but under one
president, who shall be at the head of
both institutions.
The total amount DR.. Strong has es-
timated that it will take to run the uni
versity for the next two years is ST.,
149259 For maintenance during the
two years he asks 1851, ISL; for repair of
buildings, $50, 2SS; for new buildings,
1911, 900.
