whitley ON MEXICO.
Declares Revolutionary Movement Is
of Small Importance.

New York, Jan. Judge Lebbeus
r. Whitley, who was the first judge of
the United States court in Shanghai,
China, has just arrived in New York
from Mexico, where he has been for
year studying mining conditions. Judge
Wiley declares that the revolutionary
movement in Mexico is of small import
ance.
1T is a gross exaggeration to call
this disturbance a revolution said
Judge Wiley. 1.-The uprising was with
out organization and was promptly sup
pressed by the clever head and strong
hand of President Diaz. Nothing re-
mains now but d guerilla warfare in
the mountains. But it is true that
spirit of uncertainty pervades all class
es, which is chiefly due to anxiety re-
garding President Diaz's successor.
Ramon Corral the vice president is
a very i'll man and it is not believed
he will regain his health. President
Diaz is 80 years old and hence the
question of choosing a successor is vi
tai to the Mexicans, and also to the
foreigners who have interests in the
country.
1.-THE future president of Mexico must
be able to control the army and also
have the sympathy of the people. A
factor that is helping the situation is
the policy of substituting younger and
more progressive governors of provin-
ces for those who have been in office. .
Judge Wilfrey will depart next week
for his home in ST. Louis.

DEATH BLOW IN KANSAS
Jury Couldn't Decide Which Injury
Killed Murphy.

Kansas City, Jan. while wit
nesses disagreed at the coroners in
quest as to whether the blow which
killed James r. Murphy on New Years
Eve was struck on the Kansas side
or the Missouri side of the state line,
the coroner's jury decided the blow
which resulted in the death of Muir
The jury could not determine which
of the three blows Murphy received on
the head caused his death.
After Murphy's death it was found
three heavy blows had been dealt him
on the head, one of them fracturing
the skull. Patrolman Owen T. Ward
who testified that blood already was
flowing from Murphy's head when he
arrested him, admitted he struck one
of the blows A blow on the head with
a piece of pipe in a barber shop &C.
counted for the other, but nobody knew
who struck Murphy the third blow.
Murphy quarreled with the state
line crowd in his New Years Eve cele-
bration, witnesses testified. He had a
fight in the saloon, chased two men
into a barber shop and finally van
pushed them. In the barber shop
mix-up he received the blow on the
head with the piece OF pipe. Then
he returned to the saloon, where
Ward and Reynolds found him. When
they tried to arrest him he ran across
the state line into Kansas. While they
were fighting back and forth at the
state line Ward struck the blow.
The coroner's verdict ends the prob
ability of a prosecution in Missouri, an
the inquest. A transcript of the testi-
mony and the names of the witnesses
Who testified will be furnished the
board of police commissioners.

Lawrence, Kan. Jan. kansas al
ways has been noted for its attitude
on prohibition. Kansas university as
an integral part of the state has been
closely aligned in this attitude. 1t has
developed, however, within the last
few days that the university uncon-

that the school has had one slipped

In the Cemetery OF the Town That
Bears His Name.

Elkins, Jan. 7.-Senator Stephen B.

yard of this little mountain town. He
was laid to rest within a brief time
after the funeral train from Washing
ton reached the station this morning
bearing the bereaved family and rela-
tives and the friends, both in official
life and out.
Another special train arrived from
Charleston, the state capital, at the
same time. 1t brought Governor Glass
cock, his cabinent, the justices Of the
supreme court and a score or more of
state officials.
The town to which the late senator
had given his name was crowded with
mourners who had thronged there from
every direction. Many who could not
come by rail drove over the mountain
roads to pay last tribute.
All business was suspended, flags
fiuttered at half mast and windows
were close curtained. The special
train from Washington consisting of
seven cars bore a distinguished COM
pany. Representing the senate were
Senators Scott, Bacon, Kean, Bailey,
Foster, Carter. Smith of Maryland
and Root. The house delegation in
cluded Representatives Hubbard,
Hughes, woodward, Gaines and Stur-
gis of West Virginia, Andrews OF

such a condition that her physician
forbade her leaving Washington. OF
the immediate family there were Miss
Katherine Elkins. Mrs. Sarah Elkins
Oliphant, Davis Elkins, the oldest son
of the senator. Stephen B. Elkins. jr.,
of New York, Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine
Elkins, former Senator Henry CASA
way Davis, father of Mrs. Elkins, and
Richard Elkins of Philadelphia.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. F. H. Barron in the Davis
Memorial Presbyterian church. The
ceremony was simple in the extreme.
The burial was in Maplewood GENE
terry, which Senator Elkins and former
Senator Davis 20 years ago planned
and land out.
There were brief rites at the grave
by the local lodge of Ancient Free and
Accepted Masons of which Senator
Elkins was a member. Immediately
after the interment the congressional
delegation and other distinguished
members of the party returned on the
special to the national capital.
Miss Elkins and other members OF
the family were of the returning party,
all of them being anxious to rejoin the
stricken widow.

a week ago. The wound was slight and
prompt cauterizauion eliminated all
danger, but fears Of hydrophobia, in
spired by playmates' assertions that
he would bark like a dog literally

Western State Normal School
A Distinct

A Distinctively Western Kan
sas Institution.
The Agricultural West.
This school is situated in the
center of the great agricultural
west, and is applying itself to the
solution of the particular prob
lens of that country. The inter-
eSts of the western half of Kansas
are in no sense hostile to those of
the eastern part, but are different.
The interests of the western half
must always be agricultural, and
farming of special type is neces-
sary for success. The peculiar
social and economic problems of
the region must be studied and
worked out by men on the ground
and familiar with the needs of
the people.
Responsibility of the School.
The Western State Normal
School is aware of the extent of
its responsibility. and has used its
means fully to advance the inter-
ests of the country tributary 90 it.
One great need of the time is edu-
cational leadership, and the men
and women who are to do things
in the future must come from
the schools.
Rural Education.
One of the questions pressing
for solution is how to keep young
men and women next to the soil.
One of the principal means Of
reaching the end is to improve
the rural school. The Western
State Normal School has for four
years maintained the only model
district school in Kansas. This
year the school has added the
department of Educational Agri-
culture, not to compete in any
way with the Agricultural Col
lege, but to train teachers to be
leaders in improved methods of
farming. In every way the
school is striving to aid in the
development of all the resources
of the great west.
Increase in Population.
1t is to be noted that the great
increase in population in Kansas
has been in the region served by
this school. The sixth and sew
enth Congressional Districts, ac-
cording to the state census taken
last March, show a net increase
of Sc % in population in the last
ten years.
Courses of Study.
The school offers strong courses
in the practical subjects needed
in the development of a new
country: Manual Training, Do
nestle Economy, Commerce and
Agriculture, in addition to the
usual courses in normal training.

CHEROKEE INDIANS TO SUE
GOVERNMENT FOR BIG SUM
Want $25, 900, 900 As Recon-
pense for Property Rights
and Money Due Them
INV Associated Press,

MUSKOGEE Okla, Aug. 16-Rallying
for final stand. the full blood Cherokee
Indians are preparing to instigate suit
against the United States government
for s25.OOo,0oo. That sum, the Chero-
KEGS say. is due them for property
rights and money dissipated by the gov
eminent ami paid to whites and ne
groes who were not Cherokees in the
last 100 years.
The leader of the movement is Mrs.
Susan Saunders. of st. Louis, three
quarter blood Cherokee, Sc years old and
blind. In the action the majority OF tho
more progressive of the Cherokees take
no part, being convinced that the suit
will be in vain.
The principal claim of the Indians Is
for land in the Cherokee nation which
has been allotted to negroes, who are
known as freedmen, and TO whites who
have married into the tribes There are
1900 negroes who have been given al
lotrnents in the Cherokee nation.
When the Cherokees came to the In
dian Territory from Georgia in 1895
they brought many negro slaves with
them. These they kept the same as
white slave owners until the close of
the civil war. At the time of the war
most of the Cherokees Joined the Con-
federacy and when the emancipation of
the slaves was declared the government
decreed that the slaves of the Indians
should not only be freed but should
share in all the tribal property Of the
nation.
