CLARK SURE
OF PARTY'S SUCCESS
Tour of Country Gives Him
R0Seate View of PreSi-
Dental Campaign.

Speaker Clark will reach Washington
tomorrow night and buckle on his armor
for the coming fray in Congress- He
has been on an extended speaking tour
covering nineteen states. This week
he is in Pennsylvania.
The correspondent Of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, who found Speaker
Clark at Harrisburg, reports him as
feeling very confident over the demo-
cratic outlook for 1912. Indeed it is
SO good, in his opinion, as to give
rise to the fear that the democrats
may suffer from overconfidence-a con-
dition which he confesses has not af-
ficted them in recent years.
Tariff and Trusts Campaign Issues.
Mr.. Clark expressed the opinion that
tariff and the trusts would furnish the
two main subjects of legislation at
the coming session. He is sure the
democrats will succeed in getting some
tariff legislation through both houses
and put it up to the President for
see fit. He also thinks that Congress
will pass an anti-injunction bill and
a bill regulating contempt cases in the
courts.
Majority Leader Underwood will reach
the city early next Tuesday. The re-
publicans are slow in coming in, and
most of them will probably not arrive
until after Thanksgiving.

NOT IN THE RUNNING
Roosevelt Denies He Seeks
Presidential Nomination.
CANDIDATE, SAYS HEARST
But Editor Does Not Believe ANY
Party Will Place Former Presi-
dent on Ticket.

NEW YORK, November 25-A special
dispatch to the World from Oyster Bay
says:
Theodore Roosevelt, when asked re-
garding the report he may again be a
candidate for President. told a World
correspondent that a statement might he
made as follows:
"Col. Roosevelt finds 1t difficult to I'M
derstand the comment in the World and
other newspapers that has followed upon
his article in the Outlook regarding ma
tional laws and business interests. He
has said exactly the same thing many
times before. He cannot see why it should
be assumed that this article indicates
that he is ready to take any personal
part in the coming campaign.
1t can be stated that Col. Roosevelt
has received many letters indicating the
willingness of the writer's to give. him
political support If such is desired. 1t can
be stated that Col. Roosevelt has re-
ceived letter from a cerain United
States senator offering the full political
support of the senator in case Col. Roose-
welt should wish to be candidate in the
national campaign.
Called the Senator Off.
ITO this lettel Col. Roosevelt has re-
piled that he earnestly hopes that the
senator will not only refrain from any
action looking to the nomination of Col.
Roosevelt, but also will prevent his
friends from taking any such steps.
No comment would be made by Col
Roosevelt upon this announcement, which
he insisted should be made in the third
person. He would not name the senator
to whom he referred. Some politicians
when told of the statement said that they
would not be surprised IL Senator La
Toilette might have written such a letter.
although he now has a political machine
at work in an effort to wrest the republic
an nomination from President Taft

STRIKE IN A COLLEGE.
Twelve Hundred Students Refuse to
Attend Classes.

Spokane. Wash. March 31.-In-
struction has been suspended at the
Washington state college as the re-
suit of strike of students. At a
meeting of the student body it was
decided that all of the 1900 youths
and maidens attending the college
should remain away from classes un-
til the culprits who participated in a
raid on the girls dormitory early
Tuesday morning were apprehended
and expelled. Pickets were stationed
today at all entrances to the buildings
to prevent any one entering the class
rooms.
During the raid on the dormitory
more than dozen of the young ladies'
and the girls were hauled around the
floors in their bedclothing. Entrance
to the dormitory was gained through
an upper window, the raiders using a
rope ladder. AS a result of the affair."
several of the young women have left
the college and returned home.
More than fifty students have been
called before the faculty for investi-
cation. Evidence is said to be strong
against a half dozen who are promi-
nent in athletics. Several girls are
prostrated as a result of fright or
through the treatment they received.
A number of them suffered injuries.

FROM CAR WINDOWS.
Passengers on Train See a Murder
and Suicide.

New York, March 31.-Passengers
arriving by a New York Central train
had a horrifying introduction to a
crime when sudden application of the
emergency brakes brought the train
almost to a stop opposite a double
tragedy which was being enacted in
Park avenue. A well dressed man was
seen, to draw a revolver from his
pocket, shoot a woman and turn the
weapon upon himself
The engineer, first to see the couple,
threw on his brakes and shouted to
the man:
Hold on; don't shoot her!''
The assassin paid no heed to the un-
expected witness to his deed, but took
deliberate aim at the woman and fired.
Then he placed the weapon at his own
temple, fired and sank to the street by
the womans side.
Passengers who had looked on, pow
erless to interferes were Mortified and
as soon as the engineer saw that his
warning was not needed, he pulled his
train into the station
The man was dead when the police
arrived and the woman has little
chance of recovery.

RUN OUT OF FOOD.
Reformatory Fund for This Purpose
Is Exhausted.

The young men confined at the IN
dustrial reformatcry at Hutchinson
will have plenty to eat until the end
of the present fiscal year The state
executive council provided for this at
a special meeting today The susie
nance fund at the reformatory has
been entirely consumed and the board
of managers found that the prisoners
and employees would have to starvet a
while, as there was no fund to pay the
grocery bills and debts can not be con-
tracted.
But the legislature has always made
provision for such contingencies by
giving to each institution special con-
tingent fund to be used only for emerg-
ency purposes and then only by the
consent of the executive council This
fund amounted to $1,000 at the re-
formatory and can be used at any time
there is a real emergency The board
regarded the question of food for the
prisoners an emergency and asked the
executive council to allow it to use the
fund. The council gave its consent to
baying the grocery and meat bills for
April, May and June from this fund

MAY TEACH FARMING.
One of Courses Provided for in Kan
sas High Schols.

The state board OF education has de-
termined upon the requirements by
which the high schools of the state can
obtain state aid for teaching certain
branches. The legislature appropriated
s19O,oOO to aid high schools in various
parts of Kansas that provided certain
courses of study for the students. The
board was given the power to fix the
requirements.
There are two divisions of the fund.
One is for normal training and the
other for domestic science and agricul-
ture. The board of education has added
to the normal training requirements
established under the law two years
ago when the state aid plan was first
started. Beginning next year the Junior
high school students who desire to
teach and have a certificate when they
graduate must take one-half year in
psychology. The senior year require
ments are one full year of American
history, and physics, one-half year OF
methods and management of schools
and one-half year in arithmetic. In
addition there must be twelve weeks
review work in geography, grammar
and reading.
The domestic science course was fixed
at one full school year as a minimum.
The course may be cooking alone or
be offered in the sophomore year in the
n gh schools
The agricultural course is to be one
full year and Warren'S Elements of
Agriculture is the text book adopted
Supplemental books may be used. The
high schools must teach a study of the
soils, farm, garden and orchard crops
or it may add to this a course in AM
NAL husbandry. The board named P
special committee to make up a COM
p1ete outline of the course of study for
the high school agricultural and do
mestic science work
The board adopted a resolution re-
quiring all teachers who expect to teach
the courses in the high schools to file
evidence of their ability to teach these
subjects with the state superintendent
and that official must approve them be-
fore the high school can use these
teachers in the special work 1t is de-
sired to have well qualified teachers to
handle the special work provided under
the law making the appropriations.

new TUNNEL FINISHED.
Took ga Years and $2O,OOO,OOO to
Build 1t.

Berne. March 31.-The final OBJ
struction to the Loetschberg tunnel
through the Bernez Alps was pierced
by the laborers at $50 o'clock this
morning after five and one-ha1f years
work and the expenditure of $20,0O0,-
900. The tunnel. which is the third
longest in Europe, measures approxi-
mately nine miles.
With the completion of the Loetsch-
berg tunnel, which was planned to
give the Simplon tunnel railway line
a direct connection with the railways
which traverse Switzerland from north
to south. there will be a direct route
from Milan to Berne and thence to
Calisand Bontagne. The distance from
Milan to Calais by this route will be
about 675 miles or nearly so miles
less than the existing routes The tun-
mel will be double track throughout.
