OF permanent Importance in it's field.

Friction over questions Of discipline is said
to be the reason for the resignation of
Dean L.. G. Weld OF the college Of liberal
arts in the University OF Iowa. The resig-
nation was accepted by the Board of Ed
ucation at Des Moines early this month,
according to an announcement made here
yesterday by Chairman w. r. Boyd OF the
finance committee.
Prof. Weld will continue as head OF the
department of mathematics No successor
has been named. but IT is understood that
the new dean will be one Of the present
members OF the liberal arts faculty. Among
the names that have been mentioned are
Prof. Benjamin r. Shambaugh, head OF the
department of political science; Prof. w. c..
Wilcox. head OF the department of history,
and Prof. 1. A. Loos, head Of the depart
ment OF political economy. Loos is at pres
emit on a years leave Of absence in the

it is doubtful IL he would accept the post
ton.

university at the same meeting, that OF me
chanics. Prof. A. G. Smith is the head Of

Arreated for WIG ne.ertion.

Isaac Newton Rychman was arrested yes
terday under an Indictment charging him
with wife desertion. He gave bond and
later released pending his trial. Last
April. according TO the story of Mrs.
Rychman, the house which they occupied
was sold and they were forced to seek
quarters elsewhere. Her husband, She
said, left home, saying he would seek an
other house. Mrs. Rychman did not hear
anything from her husband for about three
weeks and she was forced to sell part OF
the furniture to obtain food. Subsequently
she caused her husbands arrest on the
charge OF desertion. but at the hearing
before Justice Cooper the case was dis
missed on Rychman's agreeing to con-
tribute to his wife's support. This he
failed to do, so Mrs. Rychman said. and
she caused an indictment to be returned
against him at the present term OF court.
