STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION

The State Board Of Education hello
their January meeting in the State
House, Dover, on Friday, January 12rh.
1t was found necessary to postpone
action on higher educatian for women.
An interesting feature of the February
meeting will be comprehensive review
of the subject by President Harter OF
Delaware College, and an outline of his
ideas on the subject. 1t is believed he
will advocate a co ordinate institution.
The committee TO investigate the
matter Of recommending a charter for
Delaware College with a view of State
ownership, in pursuant of the act of
Assembly referring this matter to the
State Board of Education, was also con.
tinued. This committee is investigating
the charters of other colleges, which are
either State owned or practically State
controlled or patronized. The Board
heard the final report Of Mr.. Messersmith
of the committee on teachers, recon-
mendng the exemption aud service
merit conside -ations in the examination
aud cerii6cation cf teachers. This
report, however. is not ready for the
public, as some more vital amendments !
we're suggested and Mr.. Messersmith was
to proceed and have these
written iu the original report, which will |
hereafter, for this year at least, be the
.he rules Of examination and certifcation. !

NO ARRESTS IN
MERR|CK CASE
NO CLUE WHATEVER TO PROB
ABLE ENEMY OF GUTHRIE MAN
SHOT FROM AMBUSH.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept 26.-The fact
that Frank MerriclS, circulation man
ager of the Guthrie Daily Leader
was reticent and talked but little
will in all probability result in no
arrests ever being made OF persons
responsible for Merricks death from
ambush on South Third street here
q week ago last Saturday night. AL
though the officers have been vigilant
and rewards aggregating $500 have
been offered yet solution Of Mer-
rick's murder is no nearer than 1t
was the night he was killed.
Many witnesses have been examin =
ed by the officers but nothing tangi.
BILE has been obtained Close friends
of Merrlck have been interviewed
and have ransacked their memories
for something that he might have
said that would lead to a clue, but
all attempts have thus far been fu-
tile.
Jack Jones, the eastern Oklahoma
conductor. says there were four per-
sOns at the place when Merrlck was
shot and killed. Jones was crossing
Third street on Villas avenue when
the shots were fired and was the
only eye witness to lhe tragedy. He
has no way whatever, however, of
knowing who the persons were or Of
identifying them in case arrests were
made.

LEAVES $4,000 TO CHARITY.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, Sept 26-The
will of Henry Beckman Armstrong,
an eccentric member of the Astor
family, who died at Red Hook short
time ago, disposes of an estate valued
at a quarter of a million dollars. All
of the property will go to charity.
There are a few specific bequests
to local philanthropic institutions
and the residuary estate valued at
5000, 900, is left to his brother, James
s. Armstrong, with instructions that
the whole sum is to be used for
philanthropic purposes Armstrong
lived as a recluse for many pears. A
blasted romance of his early youth
caused his retirement from society
