In one respect at least Vasca had
prophesied truly last night. Quite
early in the morning it was evident
that the day was not to be an idle one
Troops of men moved along the oppO-.

bridge Of boats two miles up the
stream, bridge which had been con-
stantly defended and which we had
never attempted to force.

The enemy reached the bridge be-

poured black flights of swift arrows
upon them, we could not prevent them
crossing. and they dashed upon us on
our side of the river.

of advice to me.
1t was an equal fight, bravely waged.

WOMAN WILL STUDY FOR LAW.
Former President of Federated Clubs
Now Taking Liberal Arts.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 4.-TGe desire
for higher education has led one of
the most widely known club women
of the state to enroll at the University
of Kansas. Mrs. Eustace H. Brown of
Olathe, former president of the Kansas
Federation of Women's clubs, entered
the school of law last September. Her
son, Marley, enrolled in the law school
at the same time.
At present Mrs. Brown is taking a
special course in the college of liberal
arts and sciences. She found that her

schedule of the law schol but next
September it is her intention to re-
enter that department.
Mrs. Brown has been one of the
most active workers in the Federation
of Women's clubs to obtain the ad-
vantages of a college or university
education for all the girls who wish
to take the advanced educational
work In her administration as preSi-
dent scholarship was founded for the
benefit of young women who desire to
come to the university. 1t is known as
the Scholarship Loan fund. There are
now two young women in the univer-
sity who were enabled to come here
by the establishment of that fund.
When asked what impressed her
most she said: "Why the students, of

JaiIs for the Homeless.

A novel theory as to the reason for
the crowded state of the penitentiary
at Lansing, Kan, is advanced by the
warden, J. K. Codding. 1t seems that
Mr.. Codding's hostelry is badly con-
gested. He now has 125 more inmates
than he had two years ago, and Gov
ernor Stubs, the Quaker chief exeeu-
tive of Kansas, refuses either to par
don or parole prisoners, as have other
governors. Meanwhile, Warden Cod
ding has been hard pressed to feed his
involuntary guests on the allowance the
state makes. The wardef's explanation
of his trouble is homelessness. THE
breaking of home ties in one way OF
another" he says, either by divorce
or by the introduction of stepfathel
or stepmother, is the great cause fol

STATE SEXES THE KAw LANDS
Obstructive Property Owners in Drain
age District Feel New Force.

Kansas City, Kan, Feb. Am the
name of the state of Kansas Governor
w. r. Stubbs, by proclamation, has ta-
ken possession of all disputed lands in
side of the 734-foot harbor line in the
Kaw drainage district in Kansas City.
Kan. This action, drastic as it may
appear, was authorized by the Kansas
legislature in a special act passed by
both branches last week. It is design
ed to head off proceedings in the federal
courts intended to delay the work of
widening the Kaw river and improving
it's banks as a protection against floods.
The property affected by the governor s
proclamation is below the Central ave
nue. bridge in Kansas City, Kan, and
principally is owned by corporations.
By taking immediate possession the
drainage board is in position to proceed
with the improvements under contract,
leaving the question of ownership and
values to be determined by the state
courts.
IF the state had not appropriated the
land the work of widening the river
would have been delayed for several
years. c.. W. Trickett, a drainage
board attorney, said: Now, the work
may continue and the owners of the
land may appeal the cases as long as
they please"
