LAWRENCE, Kan, March 29-Dean
Smaller Mathews Of the divinity school Of
Chicago University. who is giving a series
OF lectures at Kansas University believes
the headlines OF the daily newspapers go
farther toward shaping public opinion than
any other agency. In address to the
faculty OF the university today he said
Let me write the headlines Of the daily
newspapers II am to create public opinion.
The man who shapes the newspaper story
Yields the most influence in shaping pub
lie opinion"
THE analogy between teaching and the
work OF the newspaper Is further evidenced
IL the teacher accepts the law of the ad-
vtrtising man that his success comes from
making people want something in addition
10 what they already possess. Teachers
should look upon themselves as coordinate

Chicago Police Do Not Believe Story
Dead Man Asked Friends Wife to
ElOpe-Money Missing.

CHICAGO. March 29.-Chicago police to-
day prepared to extradite acniiles Pantara-
kis and his wife, Angelique. who. on being
arrested yesterday in Kansas City, Mo-,
confessed to the murder Of a former
boarder in Chicago. Detectives Mchae
Manager and Thomas Mcfarland were ex.
pected to bring the couple back tomor-
row.
Inspector Stephen Healey said today he
did not believe the murderers' story that
the boarder. George Barbaresos, had
sought to induce Mrs. Pantaralds to elope
but said he had been unable to find trace
Of several hundred dollars which Bar
baresos had saved. The husband owed his
boarder for hospital bill paid by the
latter when the wife was III, recently and
the theory of the police is that the murder
was to avoid paying this bill and to get
what other money the boarder had.
Two other former boarders at the Pan
tarakis home, Geore DemitEow and Arsta-
It's Christakls, were taken into custody
today as witnesses. The told the police
they were at the home Saturday night and
the husband and wife were scrubbing the
kitchen floor. They denied knowledge OF
the crime.
