Attorney General Files Action Against
Hudson Officials.

Attorney General Dawson, acting for
the state, and County Attorney Ray
NJ. Beals, acting for Stafford county,
today filed quo warranto proceedings in
the supreme court to GUST Mayor L.
G. Charles and Marshal William Dan
iels from their offices in the town of
Hudson, Stafford county. They are
charged with failure to notify the cOun-
ty attorney of violation of the prohi5i-
tory law and with taking part in keg
parties where minors were allowed to
drink beer without the presence or per-
mission of their parents or guardians.
AS if the above charges were not
enough TO terrify any mayor and town
marshal, the additional charge of be-
| ing involved lin moral turpitUde" IS
added as a final blow to the crumblinS
| administration OF Hudson.
This suit is really the outcome of Il
town row that started when Two or
| three pilgrims gathered around &es

TRY A new PLAN.
Washburn TO Separate Educational
and Financial Departments.

Actuated by the fact that the past
two years have not been prosperous
ones for Washburn in a financial
way, the trustees have inaugurated
new system of management. Inc
educational work now viii be under
separate and distinct control from
financial matters.
The new arrangement is a clean-cut
furtherance of the plan conceived
year ago when DIR. H. B. Harrison was
Iege and entrusted with keeping the
school in funds. The president, Dr
Frank K. Sanders at that time was
virtually relieved of the responsibility
of raising money but now is entire
Hereafter President Sanders will
have charge of the educational pohcy
of the college only. DR.. Harrison,
will have full sway in matters per-
tanning to endowment and expense OF
running the institution.
Probably the most decisive change
in the affairs is the switching OF
Duncan L. McEachron, dean of the col,
lego of liberal arts, to the financial
department. as devised. He Will have
the office of secretary and treasurer
under DR.. Harrison. There Will be a
new dean elected for the college OF
liberal arts.
This change will mark the passing
of enc of the landmarks of the col
lege, James r. Griffin, the man whom
of all was best known to the students
because to him, treasurer. they
were forced to turn their checks from
home. Mr.. Griffin has grown old III
the service of the college and rel1g-
iously he guarded her funds. For
this long and varied service, he Will
be retained as advisory counsel To
the financial department
In the face of the report that de-
ficit of S21, 900 had been entailed dur
ing the past year, it was announced
that $4,000 had been added to the en-
dowment and $1,000 contributed to
the running expenses of the colege
The budget next year was fixed al
$4,000.
The new bylaws of the college pro-
vide for an increase of six new mem
bers of the board, these to be elected
to serve for different terms of from
one to three yrs in complement tc
the three classes of trustees now serv-
ing The new trustees elected were
George A. Guild, banker of Topeka
For the tern ending June. 1913: Rob
ert stone, attorney of Topeka. who was
nominated by the alumni to sue

LOOK OUT FOR SCOTT.
Rumor That He Will Run for Govern
or. After All.

Maybe Charles Scott, former con-
gresham, will run for governor afte~
all, and let his congressional aspira-
tiOns slide. State Senator F. L. Travis
Of Allen county, who is here today on
business, declared that in his opinion
the lola statesman would make the
race for governor instead of trying
again for congressional honOrs.
Senator Travis is a fellow townsman
of Mr.. Scott and one of his warm
friends. He did not pretend to speak
with author ity regarding the intentions
for the former congressman. but he
gave it as his own opinion that Scott
was the man to run for governor and
that he had not yet decided not t.
do SO.
Senator Travis, when asked if he
did not believe that a real party coIn-
ell, giving every delegate a fair snow
to state his grievances and opinions
and a vote or everything, would go a
long ways towards uniting the party
at the polls in November, said that j
would.
Senator Travis thought that if pro
gressive had to be the candidate of the
party next year that State Chairman
l. N Dolley would come nearer than
anv other progressive mentioned To
! uniting the party.

 This story is as old as the germ theory itself, and is as well estab- lished. The town that does not close ly inspect and watch it's milk supply is town that may at any time be- come the scene of a typhoid epidemic. The inspection of dairies cannot be too thorough. Milk here commands ten cents quart, whereas in northern towns the price does not average one half that amount. At ten cents there is money in the business, and every dairy should be equipped with an in- cinerator. It is misplaced pity that withholds the order commanding every dairyman who lacks sewer con- nections to put in an incinerator.

HUMBLE HEROISM

 The pretty, fragile wife of the "boy senator from Tennessee lay on a hospi- tai cot, palid and wan, her life ebbing with every pulse beat It was a. ques- tion of blood. Some stronger physique must bleed that she might live.
 By her side sat Luke Lea, the young senator-strong, vigorous red -blooded- waiting while chemists tested his blood to know whether he was fit subject of sac iiice to his wife.
 The clock ticked. The little woman on the cot went paler, and more pale. The sands were running low. All the man food, all the force of the protective in- sinct in Luke Lea, strained for service, for succor. He demanded that his veins should be tapped. ~The surgeons con- sented A quick incision, and the red blood of youthful athlete was flowing into the arteries of his stricken wife.
 Slowly the woman's white face won pack to a tinge of color. The impercep- tible pu!se-beat strengthened. The sur geons wished to remove the tube from the husbands arm. He demurred, insist ing that as much of his blood should be taken as it was possible for him to give Finally. when the tube was removed and the artery closed, he fell back fainting in fls chair
