PERT TO APPEAR RESULTS

Lancaster, Mo-. Jan. 3.-Mrs. Alma
H. Vaughn and DR.. James r. Hull, &C
cused of the murder Of Prof. John T
Vaughn nearly year ago, were freed
of the charges against them here yes
terday afternoon. Their cases were
nolle pressed by Prosecuting Attorney
Reiger after Judge Shelton had re-
fused to grant the further continuance
asked by the state. .r 49, n. .sss'
The announcement was greeted with
applause by the friends of Mrs.
Vaughn and DR.. Hull, who crowded the
court room. " .... u.
The inability of Dr. Paul Schweitzer
of the state university, and the prose.
,cution's poison expert, to be present
was the reason Of the request for a
continuance. Prosecutor Reiger in.
troduced af1idavits to this effect, and
Dr.. E. B. Clements of Macon, who was
member of the medical commission
appointed in November to examine Dr.
Schweitzer, testified that in his judg-
ment the expert never would be in con-
dition to take the stand.
Judge Shelton said he believed DR..
Schweitzer, who Is more than 80
years old, never would be able to ap-
pear in court. Reigers term as prose-
cutor expired yesterday, and it is
likely that nothing more ever will be
done in the case.

CuMMINS ON THE
RURAL PROBLEM
IOWA SENATOR SAYS NATIONAL
WELFARE DEPENDS ON THREE
QUESTIONS.

l. Ames, Jan. 4.-In an address to 600
students of the Iowa state college here
Senator Cummins spoke on some OF
the important rural questions Of the
day. There are three questions, he
said, upon which depend the welfare
and perpetuity of the good institutions.
These are:
First, how can we increase the
quantity and improve the quality OF
agricultural products. lessening the
cost of the consumer, without reduc-
ing the profits Of the producer
Second, how can we interrupt the
tendency of the people to gather in
great cities?
Third, how can we regulate and con-
troll the great wealth usually manifest
in the form Of corporations. so that the
wealth, with it's power and selflshness,
shall not take more than its just share
of the profits of toll?
Special Education Needed.
The senator emphasized the need for
good roads, but did not advocate any
special plan for obtaining them. He said
country educational facilities must be
made equal to those of the cities. To
do. this consolidation is necessary.
Boys and girls should be educated
with special reference to the work
they will have to do. The country
schools Of Iowa should be miniature
Of the state college The state legis.
lature, he said, should appropriate at
least 100000 for extension work.
