He CALLS A HALT
Attorney General EnjOins the
Lawrence Schools.
Must Stop Using Books Not
Adopted by State Board.

Attorney General Dawson today filed
in the district court of Douglas county
an application for an injunction against
the Lawrence school board and Super
intendent E. P. Smith of the Lawrence
pubic schools to enjoin them from using
school books unauthorized by the state
text book commission. The petition for
the injunction sets forth sensational
facts as regards the action of the Law
renee school board in its sanction of the
use of certain books in the Lawrence
schools 1t charges that the Lawrence
people sending children to school have to
pay 40 cents for a primer while the
primer adopted by the text book commits
sion costs only u cents. That the first
reader used in the Lawrence schools at
this time costs 40 cents while the au-
thorized first reader costs only 10 cents.
The petition further narrates that the
Lawrence school board and its superin-
tendent are violating the state law when
they permit the use of any other than
books adopted by the text book COM
mission.
The petition states that all the primers
and readers used in the Lawrence schools
are Silver Burdette books. 1t shows that
while one house is given the preference
yet the cost of the books is increased to
the patrons of the Lawrence schools by
400 per cent in some instances.

Against Boards Action.
Have Hired Two Men on phys

Third Member of Commission
Talks of Others.
"Street Car Passes" Must Not
Be Issued.
FORCE OF IL ON WORK

The state utilities board has ruled
that the pubic utilities-the street car
eompanies-nust stop Issuing passes
at once The commission has also
ruled that telephone companies must
not charge non-su bscribers a greater
rate than subscribers.
Trouble broke out in the utilities
commission this week that threatens
far reaching results. Com missioner
Frank Ryan objected to the action of
Commissioners Plumb and White in
hiring two more rate men to help in
the work Of taking the physical valua-
lon Of the railroad property OF the
state Ryan took the ground that the
commission ought to have report on
the work accomplished the past nine
months in this regard before spending
any more money. The commission
now has nine persons in its employ
and has added two more over the
Ryan protest. This means an expen-
dlture in salaries alone of more than
$1,000 per month. The commission
knows nothing of what work has been
accom- plished.
Ryan Explains Position.
Mr. Ryan said today in defense Of
his action: Il am not an obstruction
ist, but [ believe the board ought to
stop and take soundings before it nav ,
lgates further into unknown waters.
My friend, Mr.. White was a farmer
and grain man before he started in
to serve his state as a master of rail-
rOadS and other public utilities He |
may not know all about the work My
friend. Mr.. Plumb, was a farmer all
his life until he entered into the work
last year of running the railroads of
the state. He may know all about it
and again there may be a few things
he does not know. l never had the !
advantage OF working on the farm |
before l entered the utilities commits |
sion work. but I worked for a railroad |
company several years and served four |
years as railroad commissioner. These |
-Wo men who spent their lives on the |
5arm may know more about the bust |
less of running corporations than |
10. But if that is true I think they |
ought to inform me and the public of |
what they have accomplished the last |
line months
What About Taxes
They are both rich men and can |
Jay their taxes without trouble while |

IF it IS practical to make this phys |

work accomplished so far so that enc |

SHIELDS WOMAN, GOES TO JAIL
Dr.. Haldane cleminson, Convicted Of
Numbering Wife, Exonerated by
Confession of Married Girl.

st. Louis, Mo.-Dr. Haldane Glenn
inson, the prominent Chicago ply
sician convicted OF numbering his
wife two years ago and facing long
term in prison, has been exonerated
by the CALLING confession of young
married woman who blasted her own
reputation that justice might be done.
The defense of the physician ever
since he has been accused of the
crime was that he spent the night
when his wife died of poisoning in
her bed at home in the company of
another woman but even with the
gallows before him he refused to
reveal the name of this woman. Miss
Anna Kolb, who was friendly with
Doctor Cleminson, begged him re-
peatedly to clear her name but he
case. Now by the voluntary confes-
sion of Mrs. Anita Schmidt, the young
wife Of James Schmidt of this city,
Doctor Cleminson has practically
been cleared OF the crime charged
against him and Miss Kolb freed OF
any stain upon her name. 81 was
willing long ago to face this ordeal,
said Mrs. Schmidt at her home, land
say the words that could free Doctor
Cleminson from the terrible charge
which had been placed against him
But Doctor Cleminson would not have
1t. He said my good name was aa
dear to me as his life was to him.
and he would not have me bear my
soul to the world. On the night Mrs
Cleminson was killed was with Doc
tor Cleminson until morning. He
could not have committed the crime.

JUDGE DAY IS ELEVATED
CHOSEN PRESIDENT OF EouITA-
BILE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.
His Rise to the Position Of Great Re-
sponsibilty Placed Upon Him
Has Been Rapid.

New York City.-William A. Day
has just been elected president of the
Equitable Life Assurance society by
the board of directors. Only three
members of the board voted against
him but afterwards they gave their
votes to him explaining that their
negative vote at first was intended
only to express their opposition to
the selection of new president, to
succeed the late Paul Morton, until
a definite policy of naturalization had
been agreed upon. The special COM
mittee of five members Of the board,
which for several months has been
considering plans for the mutualiza-
tion of the company, was unable to
reach an agreement upon scheme.
Judge Days elevation to the presi-
dency was hailed with satisfaction,
not only by all the interests and en-
ployes of the company, but also by
the best element of the financial dis
trict.
Judge Days rise to the position of
great responsibility placed upon him
has been rapid. Until joining the
Equitable forces he had spent the
greater part of his life in various
grades of the government service at
Washington. In the last Cleveland
administration he was an auditor of
the treasury department and was
transferred from that position to the
department Of justice. There he rose
to be an assistant attorney general
Of the United States and was en-
trusted by his chief many of the i'm
portant prosecutions of the monop-
olies under the Sherman antitrust
law. He heartily favors the mutual
cation of the Equitable. After some
discussion 1t was decided that Judge
Day would only be given salary of
$4,000 instead OF $4,000, which was
the allowance mado to the late Paul
Morton. to whose office Judge Day has
been elected.

LOCKED IN BOX CAR FOUR DAYS
Lad Had Nothing to Eat but Raw

thought they was goin' to let me die"
This was the conservative protest of
Hyman Golden, 16, who was lifted out
of box car loaded with -four in the
yards of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey in Jersey City. The boy had
been in the pitch darkness of the
locked car four days. when he was
sent in to count the sacks of flour.
That was In Cleveland, o.. where he
is employed by the Henkel Flour Co.
Throughout the long and often de-
layed run to Jersey City the little
fellow had nothing to eat but raw
-four. The only water he got was
through holding his handkerchief
against the crack of the car door
during the fortunate rainstorms on
the journey.
