were locked up in the vacant court
room, reserved for their use.

estimate to six months. That nine
months or more may elapse before the
trials CT the brothers are completed
seemed the general opinion. A month

Visit Wisconsin and other
States for Ideas.

university extension department, has
adopted from the Wisconsin school
the idea of a reference library for
the aid of the Kansas municipalities.
What Mr. Price is doing in mu-

Gov. Stubs desires to adopt in every
department of the school. He wants
the university made the bureau of in
formation for the state government,
for the business men, for the schools
and the cities, just as the agricul-
tural college is becoming the director
of the farm industry of the state.

Was on Stand Nearly all Day.

CALIFORNIA WOMEN TO VOTE
Late Returns Wipe Out Small Major
ity Previously Recorded Against
Movement.

San Francisco, Cal.-Woman suf-
frage has triumphed in California.
Struggling returns have now wiped
out the majority previously recorded
against the amendment, and since
this turn the margin in favor OF
amendment No. has increased
steadily.
Totals struck off also showed the
result:
For the suffrage amendment, 49,.
0S6; against, 117,4OS.
These figures represent the returns
from 2,717 precincts out of total OF
1921 in the state AS virtually all OF
the remaining precincts are in coun'
ties which have given suffrage major
tiles, it is reasonable to suppose that
they will increase this margin.

feet long and sound as the day they
were felled, though many of these
logs have been submerged for twenty
five years. Long ago the lake was sur
rounded by magnificent forests of oak.

logs were felled and run into the lake
for shipment, great numbers of the
heaviest sank through their own

with snow Divers recently ascer-

full of logs, and barges equipped with
engines and graphing hooks are now
