A. Borman, James Mullen, N. B. Burge

The Lux committee has taken siren
uous exception to the mud posters

voters, How can you vote for a man
who was connected with the Okla
homa watermelon deal?"
Speaking of this N. B. Burge said:
Mr. Lux was in New York when
this thing came up. He was not even
a witness in the case. He was not
connected with it in any way and not
until he returned to Topeka did he
hear of it. I call this an unfair and
contemplate deal-this posting of lies
about a candidate"
One of the opposing candidates is
blamed for the work"

America.

Albany, March 15.-Criticised for
having declared at the recent dinner
of the Society of the Onondagas that
the military spirit in America is at a
low ebb. Adjutant General Verbeck OF
the New York National guard today

difficult They follow:
aThe influence of Andrew Carnegie

euce and similar movements.

lie school teachers toward military
drill and military spirit in schools.

the boy scouts of America.

ment of the Kansas Farmer, arrived
Tuesday afternoon from willard,
where he was spending the day. Young

where he was taken almost immedi-
ateIy following the accident. 1t is be-
lieved that the young man has not

of the horse falling on his body. His
most serious injury is at the base of
the skull. After the horse fell. the
boy was dragged head downward a
distance of SO or so feet before his

GIRLS ARE EXPELLED.
Two Violate Rules at Bethany and
Are Sent Home.

Following a Monday evening lark
two girl students at Bethany college
were Tuesday publicly expelled from
the institution and sent to their homes.
Neither of the girls were residents of
Topeka.
1t was a week ago Sunday night
when the girls first broke the iron clad
rules of the school. They were abb
sent several hours from the buildings
and the following day were confront
ed by Miss Meliora Hambleton, prin-
cipal of the college. For several days
they denied the charge. But the ak
fell. The girls parents were notified
of the expulsion and Tuesday was set
as the date when they should leave
the school.
A few minutes before $3.50 Monday
evening Miss Hambleton prepared to
go to the girls rooms and see that
they had retired. She was delayed a
few minutes. That delay gave the
girls a chance to escape. But their
trip was useless. One of the girls was
caught on the campus. The other
walked to the transfer station at
Eighth and Kansas avenues, where
she was met by boy friend, who
took her to the Rock Island depot in an
automobile. But Miss Hambleton had
notified the depots not to sell the girl
wait at the station and later return
to the school. Tuesday both girls were
expelled publicly.
1T is the first serious violation of
this rule in four years. declared Miss
HambletOn this morning, land of
course it was necessary to inflict the
punishment. There is no alternative
for girls who leave the building after
$780, whether for a walk, joy ride or
theater party. The first day the girls
arrive the rules are laid down. This
one is made prominent. 1t is the only
way to maintain discipline and we
have been unusually successful. A girl
never violates the rule but once.
of the two girls and the boys, but I
withhold the names. You know it
sometimes means a great deal to a
girls future to be expelled from
school of this character and 1 don't
want to do them an injustice"
Both girls are 16 years old. They
came to Topeka last fall and entered
Bethany when the September term OPP
ened Miss Hambleton denied the re-
port that the girls were met with au-
tomobiles, that one of the girls tainted
when caught, or that they made their
escape down the fire escapes.
1.-The girls walked right through the
halls and out the door" declared the
principal. "Our fire escapes extend
only to the second floor roofs. We had
just such escapades as this in mind
when the fire escapes were installed
and guarded against them. To be sure
the fire marshal complained somewhat,
but we succeeded in talking him out Of

TO FACE TEACHERS
Question OF Better Salaries TO BE

Committee Tonight.
DELAY THEATRE MEASURE
Law to Keep Children Away
From Moving Pictures Goes
Over for Action Later:

Chairman Umlauf of the Council
Reform has announced that the Lynch
measure, designed to keep minors
away from moving picture theatres,
Will not be taken UP for considera-
ton ut the meeting Tonight This
change in the program, is due to the
fact that several citizens who desire
to be heard are out OF the city and
Chairman umlauf has stated that 1t
was agreeable to postpone the matter.
But the committee will doubtless
have an interesting session, for 1t Is
expected that the petition of school
teachers FOR an increase of salary will
be discussed. In this event number
of teachers and their friends will be
on hand to urge their claims. and
they have facts and figures which will
show that the salaries paid here are
far below the scale of other cities
or similar population. When the petit
ton was sent to the Common Council
the suggestion was made on the floor
that II should be referred to the
School Board. but 1t went to Chair
man Umlauf's committee. and tho
members must face the music-and the
teachers--and recommend the raise or
state why. Then 1t will go on to the
Finance COMMITTEE and back to Coun-
Gil.
An effort will be made to clear the
docket of regular business, so that
on November 81 the question of an
administrative board for the city can
be considered In detail and intelli-
gently. This is the biggest question
ever before Council, and any attempt
to take acknowledgement will be vigor-
ously opposed.
