A QUESTION OF CONTROL
Status Of Langston University
Questioned BY Board OF
Agriculture

Control of the Langston university,
the state agricultural and normal
school for colored people, is again IN
question. Secretary G. f Barrett,
of the state board of agriculture, mas
asked the opinion of the attorney
general as to whether or not the
Langston school Is an agricultural
college within the meaning OF the
constitution and statutes. The board
of agriculture holds that the college
participates in the Morrill, Hatch and
other Federal distribuiive acts, and
that this puts II in the same class
with the state agricultural and me
chanlcal college and the six district
schools. Court decisions have given
the board control OF these institutions
and the boards of regents have passed
out OF power. The board claims that
the statute of incorporation provides
for the teaching of agriculture and
mechanical al and that as such the
school has participated in govern
ment land grants
The college committee OF the board
holds that II the Langston school is
not an agricultural school ii has no
business TO get the Federal appro-
priations; that If it Is such a school
the board should take charge.

FAILS TO SHAKE HER
Tells What She Saw Before
and After The Tragedy
at WatSeka

Watseka. Ills, March 25-Miss
Grace Davis, the pretty bookkeeper
ci the Crescent City National bank
completely routed the defense in its
effort to confuse her testimony under
cross-eXamination, when she resumed
the stand in the Sayler murder trial
nere today.

to making the witness admit uncer
tainty about the following points in
her testimony:

in an attitude of complete repose
five minutes before he was killed.

tween the third and fourth shots she
heard fired.

ing at the street corner north of the

Blinds were Drawn
That the blinds were drawn tight
when she passed the house five min
u1es after the shooting.
ssrhat a lighted lamp was visible
through the dining room window as
she approached from the south.
The defense hopes to disproye most
o: these statements by other witness
e. and thus to discredlt Miss Davis
Testimony comnletply
Despite the intricate questioning OF
Attorney Morris for the defense. Miss
Davis was not confused at any point.
She left The stand in triumph.
