CHANDLER MAY BE PRESIDENT
Present Dean of Morninsside College
Nav Be Advanced.

Sioux City, June 1.-Persistent rum
ors to the effect that Dean S. l..
Chandler, of Morningsde College. will
be chosen president of the institution
at the annual meeting of the trustees
next week have been circulating freely
during the last few days.
The local college has felt the need
of an executive turnout the year and
for some time it has been known that
some choice would be announced at
the annual session of the trustees.
The committee appointed TO make
the choice has exercised the utmost
secrecy. but its attitude has merely
acted as a stimulus and the results
of his proceedings have finally crept
out.
The names of Or. Hurlburt, OF
Buffalo, and DR. Theodore Hender-
son, of B6oklyn, are also being con-
sidered. but on reliable authority 1t
is understood that the committee is
almost unanimous for Dean Chand-

CHARGE AGAINST HARRIS.
Cedar Rapids Suspect Accused o
Breaking and Entering.

Cedar Rapids Suspect Accused Of
Breaking and Entering.
Cedar Rapids, June Am informa-
ton was filed in Justice Nugent's court
charging ]. A. Harris, the man who
was arrested last week as suspect in
connection with the shooting of Mayor
Carmody, charging him with breaking
and entering a residence in the night
time for the purpose of robbery The
information, which was served on Har-
ris last night, was signed by one of
the men whose home was entered two
weeks ago, and who has reason to be-
lieve that Harris is the man. Harris
has engaged attorneys to defend him.
and will probably be arraigned for a
preliminary hearing some time tomor-
row.
Harris has maintained an absolute
silence since his arrest, and while
there is some reason to believe that
he was implicated in the recent burg
aries and in the shooting of Mayor
Carmody, the proving of his guilt, it
is feared, will be rather difficult task.
The gentleman who signed the infor-
nation is of the opinion that Harris is
the man who came into his room and
held him up at the point of gun, and
while the other people who were rob-
bed think he resembles the man who
entered their homes they are not ready
to positively identify him.

him makes me realize how much ]
loved him. | shall not try now to ex,
press my gratitude, for l think that
Mr.. Rogers shrank from expressions OF
gratitude. Mr. Rogers was always re-
sponsive, always sympathetic. He was
always doing little kindnesses quietly
and unnoticed. II I needed Doo1ls, he
ordered them. If I admired {. tower
or a plant, he sent it to me. He Aad

Commenting On the recent announce
ment of the discovery of new rival
of radium," called radio-thor, and to
which wonderful properties are said to
have been ascribed by its discoverer.
DR.. Bailey, of Chicago, Frederick Sod
DIV remarks that the description Of this
substance bears an obvious resem-
blance to radio-thorium, which has
been well known for some time. The
cheapness of the new substance Is ex-
plotted, but radio-thorium can be OBJ
tanned from the thorium salts which
are manufactured by the ton in the
Welsbach mantle industry, and Profess
sorRutherford long ago suggested that
it might serve as cheap and effect
i've substitute for radium for many
purposes. Thorium produces meso-
thorium, and from meso-thorium comes
forth radio-thorium. It's activity Is not
permanent, like that of radium, but it
would last for many years, and for
most purposes would be as valuable
as radium.

No one denies, Of course, that Their
are still yards of this old-fashione6
sort, especially in the smaller village

population and the consequent aG
vance in the price of land has created
near all the large cities suburbs il
which there is no space for yards
The same is true of the school
houses. The space round them has
grown smaller and smaller, and de:or-
ative shrubbery and restrictive r1!es

possible the hearty, wholesome, bois-
ferrous play in which all participated.
There has, of course, been great and

where play could be INDUCED in with
