Court Holds Weapon Used on
Youth Improper.

lola, Kan, March lis it brutal and
inhuman to whip a pupil with piece
of rubber hose and must such an in
strument of punishment be abolished in
the public schools of Kansas? That is
q question that has wrought a marked
division of sentiment in lola and one
that in all probability, is on its way to
the supreme court.
On appeal from the court of Justice
James P. Duncan, Judge Oscar F'oust
will pass on the question at the coming
term of the district court and either
side has indicated that, in the event of
losing in the lower court, the fight Will
be carried to the supreme court for
final adjudication. Meanwhile, members
of the laity are resorting to heated
arguments, at times almost to blows, in
a futile effort to settle the question.
Thirteen-year-old Everett Urich
started all the trouble At school few

the pupils while forming in line TO

building where Frederick c. Walters is
principal The boy began to scuffle
with a companion and Professor Walt
ers called him out of the line to receive
punishment.
Boys Bluff Fails to Take"
You lick me and my father will
come down here and lick the dickens
out of you,'' Everett yelled defiantly.
The bluff failed to work and Professor
Walters started to administer corporal
punishment. Everett fought back and
that did not tend to calm the irate ped
agogue, so as soon as he could procure
the rubber hose with which whippings
are administered in lola schools, ne
gave the boy a sound beating. Then
the case got into court.

BACK FROM SOUTH.
Captain Amundsen Is Returning From
South Polar Expedition.

London, March 7.-Nothing has be-
come known here yet as to whether
Captain Road Amundsen, the NorWc-
gian arctic explorer who had reached
Hobart, Tasmania, from his South Po-
lar expedition, was successful in his
attempt TO attain the South Pole.
The captains return to civilization
two weeks before ne was expected has
caused some surprise. This is felt es-
pecially by the members of the British
Royal Geographical society, who de-
clared this morning that they have had
no news of Captain xAmundsen except
that contained in the newspaper dis
patches recording his arrival in Ta>-
mania. 1t is pointed out by officials
of the society that Captain AmundseH
intended make a dash pure and SIM
pie to the South Pole and that he had
no intention of carrying out any large
program of scientific work.
While no opinion can be formed
whether his early return means sue
cess or failure, it is considered likely
that he, while he was risking all III
his dash to the South Pole may have
persevered in sledge work throughout
the winter and if favored by good
weather and ice conditions may have
achieved results, at any rate striking
enough to justify him in making the
journey back earlier than he had or
iginally intended.
Captain Amundsen, the discoverer
of the Northwest passage, left Norway
in 1910 for the purpose of making an
to drift across the Arctic
ocean in search of the North Pole, a
voyage which was likely to occupy not
less than six years. He changed his
plans however, and announced his in
tention of starting on an Antarctic eX-
petition. Captain Amundsen's steam
er Fran went into winter quarters
early in 1911 at Bay of Whales, in
Ross sea. In the dash for the South
Pole Amundsen was several months
ahead of Captain Robert F. Scott.
