The dispute was brought to a head a
month ago. when the teachers at u
congress held at Chambery expressed
anti-militarist sympathies. This led the

for the immediate dissolution of the

The majority of the unions obeyed the
decree, but several adopted methods OF
representation and postponed a decision.
Prominent among these is the Seine

BAKER GIFTS cHRIsMAN ESTATE.
Supreme Court Dismissed Appeal OF
Kansas Wesleyan.

Through the dismissal OF, an ap-
peal in the supreme court Thursday
1.-THE litigation over the famous Chris
man estate Is settled. and Baker uni
yersity, the Methodist college at
Baldwin, gets the estate OF the late
Mrs. Eliza Chrisman, OF Topeka,
amounting to about 100000. The
appeal was dismissed by attorneys
representing the Kansas Wesleyan
college at salina, following an agree
ment entered into out OF court.
The Methodist conference which
met at Abilene last year, decided the
money should go to Baker univer-
sity as part Of its endowment fund.
Then the Kansas Wesleyan college
brought an action in the district
court to secure a part or all Of the
estate, In the lower court the case
was decided against the salina school
and that institution appealed the case
TO the supreme court. The case has
been pending in court since but
would have been reached for trial
before long. However. the parties
to the action got together out Of
court and effected an agreement.
The exact terms Of the agreement are
not known but Baker university gets
The money. It is said that about
I75. 900 Of the estate is in the form
'f notes and mortgages and that the
remainder consists Of Topeka pro-
,erty.
