Greek Letter Boys Called on
Carpet at Lawrence III. $.
Tonight Expected to Bring
Suspension to Suspected Men.

Lawrence Kan. Nov. 4.--More quiz
zing of High school boys alleged to be
members of Greek letter societies took
place at the school and as usual the Of
ficiaIs have a known look on their faces
when approached in regard to the mat
ter but just the same they aren't tell
ing anything. Private consultation with
the boys seems to have been the method
adopted by the board in unrayeling the
alleged activities of the youngsters.
Half a dozen boys, said to be mem
bers of Delta Sigma, were called from
their classes and summoned to appear
before Supt. Smith and Prof. OIney in
the superintendent office.
The school authorities seem to have
come to the conclusion that the state
law against High school fraternities
is being violated by boys attending the
lawrence High school and evidently the
board has decided to find out the truth
in regard to these rumorS. The evidence
that is being gathered this week by
Prof Smith and Prof. Olney probably
will be turned over to the board of
education at its meeting tonight and it
is expected tina the board will take such
action on the matter as the evidence
seems to warrant.
The board should nave every reason
for believing that frats do not exist in
the High SCnOOI as all OF the boys We're
obliged to sign up statement to that
effect upon entering school this fall,
but developments since then ST I'm to
have aroused the suspicious of lie
school authorities.
It is known that certain bunch of
high school boys visited q fraternity
1eweler recvently while the latter was on
q visit to Lawrence. The boys $ him
in the par1or of the Eldridge hotel and it
is rumored that they purchased of mis-
wares.
It is also rumored that the boys have
been pledging new men, and 1t is known
that invitations for a party have been
issued by a certain bunch of boys said
to be members of q kid frat at the
high school

HE KILLED A HOLDUP.
Cub Secretary Shoots Man Who
Threatened Him.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Rutherford e.
Cooke, assistant secretary of the Chi
cago National League baseball club.
shot and killed one of two men who
stopped him on Washington bouIe-
ward early this morning. Cooke said
that two men in a motor car drove
up to the sidewalk ahead of him and
one leaped out and ordered him to
throw up his hands. The baseball
man drew a revolver from his overcoat
pocket and shot the man dead. The
other man, according to Cookies &C
count, had not left the automobile and
he threw in the clutch and sped
away.
Police found in the dead mans
pocket an accident insurance policy
made out to Edward Meyers, and a
deputy sheriffs star, No, SIP.
Cooke said the man he shot point
ed a revolver at him. He was taken
TO a police station, but later released
on his own recognition, to appear at
the coroner's inquest.

she was adjudged feebleminded. and
a guardian was appointed to care for
her property. AS what little property
she had kept slipping out of her hands
driving her to pauperism, a few weeks
after the probate trial the aged wom-
an investigated, her attorney claims,
and it was then she found that she
had been tried for feeblemindedne
At once she took the action to the
district court to have Judge Branine
set aside the verdict in the probate
court and restore her property to her.
When the trial came up the old
woman took the witness stand to tell
her story. With tears in her eyes she
told how, in the probate court. she
was not given a chance to tell her
side of the case, and that she did not
know that she was being tried because
of her deafness.
In her testimony she branded the
financial transaction Of the man ap-
pointed custodian of her property, as
robbery.
A jury of six heard the case. The
foreman said no agreement seemed
possible.

CUPID STOPS LAWSUIT.
Attorneys Lose Fee in Breach of
Promise Case.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. Appearing
as bridegroom looked better to Geo.
NJ. Grimes than playing the defensive
part in a $4,000 suit for breach of
promise and weeks ago he and Kath-
crime Smith of this city We're married
in Wellington.
This marriage was kept secret I'M
til the former Miss Katherine Smith
appeared in the district court to dis
miss the suit. She brought suit
against Grimes several months ago
Her suit was a contingency one, her
attorneys to have one-half the dam
ages she might secure.
1t was satisfactory to Mr. Grimes
and Miss Smith to get married and
dismiss the suit, but the attorneys do
not like it. Mrs. Grimes said today
that her attorneys had refused to dis
miss the action.
Il do not see why I should be COM
PEELED to keep UP this suit Mrs
Grimes said. 81 do not want to ap-
pear against my husband and will not
We are satisfied now and want to for
get the breach of promise suit"
In her petition it was alleged that
Grimes had promised to marry Miss
Smith, November l, 1911, which he did
not do.

START FRAT WAR GOOD TO CHICKENS
Farmer Makes
Life One Round of Joy.
Electric Lights Only One Fea-
ture of Hen House.

Ileavenworth, Kan, Nov. 4.-One of
the finest, if not the finest poultry
farms in Leavenworth county, and for
that matter, eastern Kansas, is that
of Austin Riley. Mr.. Riley has not
been in the poultry business as a
side line'' a great while, but the time
he has devoted to the industry has
been we'll spent. His first considera-
ton of the fowls was absolute cleanh-
ness. something which is not always
the case with poultry raisers, with the
result that they are only partially
successful. Besides being scrumptious-
ly clean, Mr.. Riley's houses are ar
ranged to give comfort to their occu-
pants and to enable them, if they so
desire, to work overtime; meaning, of
course, for the feminine members Of
the flocks TO deposit more than one
egg daily.
Although Mr.. Riley does not advo-
cate working overtime, unless a hu-
man beast or fowl, as the case may
be, be amply rewarded. he is not ad-
verse to his hens laying two instead
of one egg during a "a hour stretch II
they are so inclined. He figures that
to give them the privilege of laying
second egg is a humane act upon his
part, and, therefore, he provides fine
nests, electric lights and all other nee
essary inducements to hen berry pro-
duction.
As you approach Mr. Riley's hen
houses they look very ordinary. There
is total darkness until you get about
half way, then by the simple turning
of 4 tiny switch conveniently situated,
an electric bulb shines brightly and
Eliminates the rest of the way. Mr..
Riley's chickens, like chickens belong
ing to anybody else, sleep when not
engaged at meals, clucking, Growing,
fighting or laying. Therefore, it is not
surprising that no sounds come from
the hen houses on the night of your
visit. The door is opened, Mr.. Riley
touches a snap-switch, there is a
binding flash of light and there be
fore you are all the chickens, roOsters
and hens, and chickens which have be-
come neither roosters or hens, in the
world. That is, it would seem so, so
many of them are there.
There is a stirring, but no excite
ment. Possibly a hen or two fearful
that their owner will think they've
been loafing on the job, will beat 't
for a nest, but that only occasionally
happens. Everything which should be
in the coop is there and there is moth
ing there which should not be. The
result is that Mr.. Riley long since has
been identified among the most sue
cessful poultry men in the country.

ing with the burden of 50 years and
careworn with age and worry. the lat
ter brought about largely by accusa-
lions of feeblemindedness, Mrs. Sarah
Marsh appeared in the district court
and with a trembling step made her
way to the witness stand. She told a
story in which she alleged she has
been the victim of persecution and a
scheme to defraud and declared this
was her last chance to regain the lit
tie property she had to prevent a
guardian from forcing her to spend
her last years in the poOrhouse.
without knowing what the action
meant on account of deafness, she
said, Mrs. Marsh was given a hearing
before a jury in Probate Judge Jor-

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 4.-Teachers in

no more of them in the school parties
Because kissing is not nice? Oh, mer-

nothing against kissing as a general
thing, but their physiology teaches
them that it is very dangerous.
There must be nothing in the

that a majority of the communicable
diseases would not be so prevalent
among pupils if ban was placed on
kissing at parties. The kiss you
