'The worst trouble about life pre-

people know what to do with one
when It's thrown to them. Many a
man would drown In trying to get a
life preserver over his head. The av'

water would try to lift up the big life
ring and put II over his head. That
only causes the man to sink deeper
and take more water into his lungs.
1.-THE proper way to approach n life
preserver In the water is to take hold
OF the side nearest you and press
upon It with all your weight. That
causes the farther side to hy up In

Reporters Seemingly Superfluous
Question as to Happenings at
Cabinet Meetings.

Postmaster General Meyer is of a
serious turn of mind, but he has bit
of humor in his makeup, nevertheless.
Being looked upon as the shrewdest
politician in the presidents cabinet, he
is the objective point for newspaper
correspondents on cabinet days.
Last week as Mr.. Meyer emerged
from the White House a newspaper
man asked:
Mr.. Postmaster General, can't you
give us some news about the cabinet
meetings?"
There really is nothing to say" re-
piled the cabinet officer. I'VE dis
cussed nothing of especial impor-
tance."
do you mean to say you did not
discuss politics?" the newspaper man
queried.
The postmaster general burst into
laughter. When he recovered his US
ual serenity he said:
DO you suppose we were all muz.

After Being Surrounded In a Barn,
Murderer Mawes His Escape

and then forced her and her infant
babe to enter buggy which was wait

The murderer then drove toward

from Des Moines. Farmers along the
highway with shotguns Joined in the
chase, attracted by the pitiful screams
of the orphaned woman, who cried
out that she, too, would be slain by
her former husband.
The tragedy is the result Of the re-
fusal of Mrs. Littlepage to live with
her former husband, she having been
divorced from him last May. Threats
of murder on the part of Littlepage
were often made, according 20 the

Shortly before midnight the posse
was close behind Littlepage, who had
doubled on his tracks and suddenly
turned his buggy up an unfrequented
lane. At the home of Arse Butler,
a half mile from Valley junction, he
stopped and ordered Butler to throw
up his hands and leave the premises.
Then Littlepage entered the house,
commanding his wife to precede him.
The posse was now close upon him.
In a few minutes the murderer came
out of the rear door, urging his wire
to follow, but she screamed and ran
out of the front door and into the
hands Of Marshal w. A. Houke, Of
Valley Junction, and the advance Of

At 1880 a. m. Wednesday Littlepage
succeeded in breaking through the

K. c. POLICE SHAKE-UP
COMMISSIONERS MAKE CLEAN
EST SWEEP IN HISTORY"
Patrolmen and officers SO Scattered
over City That Familiar
Faces VIII BE Rare.

Kansas City.-The much-talked-of
shake-up Of the Kansas City police
force became effective Thursday when
the bulletins we're posted at precinct
stations announcing where officers
were to report Friday. To say that
the shake-up is thorough would be put
ting it mild. II is drastic. To quote
one of the oldest officers on the force,
ut is the cleanest sweep in the history
of the department"
In the case Of Captain Flahive, who
has been on the force for sixteen
years and commanded the second pre-
cinct in the city as regards to impor-
lance, he has been relegated to West
port, a suburb, or, in other words, the
woods"
In explaining the changes, Commits
sioner Marks, who, by the way, seems
TO dominate the board, although May
or Crittenden is its chairman, said;
ut is merely a shifting around OF
the men in the hope that they may do
more efficient work. Those who fail
to make good now will be dropped
from the force altogether"
Among the more important changes
are: Captain F1ahive, from No. to
No. 5; Lieutenant Stone, to command
No. 4. Stone came to the force two
years ago as a clerk in the detective
department. He never before has had
a command, but now is in charge OF
one of the most important precincts In
that city.
CAPTAIN Whitsett remains in COM
mand at headquarters. Captain Hay
den goes from Westport to the West
Bottoms. Captain Branham, recently
sent to the suburbs, remains there.
Captain Bray, for years at No. 8, goes
70 Sheffield. Captain Ennis is shifted
from West to the East Bottoms. Cap
tain Clark, who was badly injured IN
the "Adam God" riot, remains in the
woodland avenue district Captain

DEEP-LAID PLOT IS FEARED
Tragedy at Imperial institute Believed

Decree-SeotIand Yard
is Alert.

London.-The shifting to Eng.
land of the violent spirit of unrest
which has long been seething in India,
evidenced by the assassination of
Lieut.-Col. William Curzon Wyllie by
Nadar Lal Dhinagri, Indian student,
has aroused the Indian office, and
every official of that branch OF the
government is being guarded closely.
IL is believed the killing of Lieut..
Col. Wyllie is but the beginning of an
extensive plot, and attempts against
other officials are feared. Lord Nor.
ley, the secretary of state for Indian
affairs, is being especially guarded, as
he is deemed to be in the gravest dan.
ger. Despite the refusal Of Dhinagri
to answer any questions put to him
by the police, discoveries made when
officers searched his lodgings have
led to the taking of the greatest pre-.
cautions Papers found in the room
show that Dhinagrl, who is a Parsee
student, 20 years old, attended the
gathering at the Imperial Institute for
the express purpose of killing Wyllie,
whom he knew would be present.
The time was particularly well
chosen, for the meeting was for the
purpose of drawing the native Indian
and English people nearer together
and endeavoring to patch up the fatal
breach which the government has
seen widening for many years.
Two Hundred Persons Present.
An audience of 200 was present,
among them many Hindu students
from Cambridge and Oxford and a
score of distinguished Hindu visitors
to England. Among the latter was
DR.. Canvas Lalcaca, who was killed by
a stray shot when Dhinagri emptied
his revolver at Wyllie.
The entire setting of the room was
Oriental and Indian costumes were
worn by many of the guests. The as
sassin, however, was in English dress,
except for a turban.
Dhinagri met Wyllie at the conclu-
sion of the meeting as the latter was
leaving the hall and, without a word,
drew a revolver and fired five shots
into the skull of The Englishman. A
sixth shot passed over Wyllie's head
as he fell and struck DR.. Lalcaca in
the breast. Wyllie was dead before
the excited men and women could
reach his side and the Parsee doctor
died before he reached a hospital.
Governor of Nipai.
Wyllie had served as resident gov
ernor at Nipal, governor generals
agent at Paputana and governor gen.
erals agent in Central India. DR.. Lal-
caca was a practiciDg physician at
Shanghai.
The police are making every effort
to elicit from Dhinagri the real ex-
tent of the plot which they suspect is
under way, looking to the wholesale
assassination of Indian officials.
While he steadfastly refuses to d.
vulge anything, Scotland Yard is hard
at work on other features of the case
and sensational developments are ex-
pected.

as superintendent Of State Hospital
No. 2 at a special meeting of the board
of managers. Doctor F. A. Patterson
of St. Joseph, member of the hospital
staff, was directed to take charge OF

until further orders.
When Doctor Kuhn was called be-
fore the board a resolution of dismis
sal was read and w. X. Amick, of St
Joseph, moved its adoption. c. c.
Pierce seconded the motion. Presi'
dent Geiger called for viva voce
vote and Amick, Pierce and H. D.

Doctor Kuhn has turned over all the
states property in his possession to
Doctor Patterson and will retire grace
fully. Doctor Kuhn has volunteered
to assist Doctor Patterson in getting
started in the management of the hos
pital in any way he could.
After the vote on the resolution by
tn board there was a momentary
pause, apparently to give Doctor Kuhn
an opportunity to express himself.
Gentlemen, that's all very well, but
under the law, charges must be pre-
ferred and there must be trial" Doc
tor Kuhn said. "The law is very clear
on that point. l simply give notice
that there will be further proceed
ings."
