HAS PLASS MARRIED?
RumOr Former Washburn President
Has Wed French Teacher.

Washburn college circles are buzz
zing today with the rumor that Nor
man PlasS, ex-president of the school,
has been divorced from his wife in
Williamsburg, Mass, and he is plan
ming to marry-or has marTied-Miss
Fannie Annette Sunier formerly pro-
fessor of romance languages at Wash
burn.
College professors and officers re-
fuse to discuss the runner. However,
they do not deny it, A few of them
admit-but pray not to be quoted
that they have heard the talk and
have no reason to think that it is not
true.
Here is the way one college pro-
fessor explained It:
4 heard the rumOr, I'll admit That
is, 1 heard the rUmor that Mr.. Plass
and Mrs. Plass had separated and had
been given a divorce. But as to the
Sunier romance think that is sim
ply little fringe which adds to the
looks of the gossip
Another professor would not be-
lieve that ex-President Plass and the
pretty French college instructor were
tC be married.
She was angry at Mr.. Plass be-
cause he had used her mothers money
in his timber scandals and in the trial
i'll the east she testified against him
On the witness stand"
Miss Sunier taught French and
raj years. She was a rema rka ole
young woman-full of vivacity and
hrililancy. She was a graduate Of
the University of Iowa and the Uni
versity of Paris. She was of French
descent and had flashing black eyes
The Topeka bachelor ''eligibles"
pricked up their ears when Miss
Sunier began her career IN Wash
burn.
She left the college in 19O7--soon
after President Plass had resigned to
enter into his timber land deals which
afterwards caused his arrest and
brought him before a federal investi-
cation. Miss Sunier went to Washing
ten, where she taught in a wcnan's
seminary.
It was said when President Plass and
Miss Sunier were in Washburn they
We're close friends. 1t was known that
the vivacious French professor was a
favorite of the president of the faculty.
But no hint of matrimony was sug
geSted or thought of AT that time

OLD SANTA FE TRAIL

Gently adopted as the Kansas link of
this highway a road following as far
as practicable the Old Santa Fe Trail
across Kansas as permanently marked
by the State of Kansas and the Kan
sas Daughters of the American Re
volution.
There is nothing in the history of the
American occupation of the west which
is more full of stirring incidents than
the history of the Old Santa Fe Trail.
Several fugitive trips were made
across the plains to Santa Fe by small
parties prior to 1900, but the first sue
cessful expedition was made by Capt
VIM. Becknell with a party of about
thirty men in 1922. This was the De-
ginning of the Santa Fe trade and the
Santa Fe Trail. For fifty years teams
of oxen, horses and mules, pulled
thousands of tons of freight across the
plains and many passengers were
transferred by stage to the mining and
cattle camps of the far Southwest
The old trail followed the divide in
eastern Kansas between the Kaw
river and its tributaries on the north
and the Marias Des Cygnes and Cot
tonwood rivers and their tributaries
on the south and in western Kansas
it followed the north bank of Arkansas
river
This made a high and dry road that
could be Travelled at all times

Tried to Sail Across Plains.
There was not a bridge nor need
for one the entire distance from Old
Franklin. no. to Santa F'e N. NJ. This
was such n perfect highway that at
one time a mechanic by name of
Thomas at Westport had the intrepid
ity to attempt to cross the plains in
wagon driven by sail. He actually got
some otherwise sound business men of
Westport to furnish money for the ex-
pertinent and started. His plan was to
haul loaded wagons over the trail with
his wind wagon and thus revolution
fze the Santa Fe Trail. He experienced
Saficulty in low places where timber or
hills shut off the wind from his sails.
Then he would have to hunt for a, yoke
of oxen to haul him out onto high
ground. He did succeed in getting
nearly to Council Grove where he
abandoned the scheme as inpra ctical.

1t Is Growing.
The booster club idea is growing
! in Topeka. The campaign that is be-
ing carried on by the Commercial
club to persuade the people of the
city to purchase Topeka made
goods has hit a popular chord.
The women of Topeka are exhibit
ing much interest in the Seeing To-
peka first" automobile tour among
the factories that is being arranged
by the Commercial club for May 9.
SeVenty-five women have already had
places reserved in the autom obiles,
and If they do not look sharp there
will be many others who would like to
see now the topeka DfOQucIS are
made, who will be left out on account
of lack of accommodations. Two
hundred persons will be taken on the
excursion.
Under One Roof.
No action has been taken as yet rel
ative to Secretary J. Will Kelley's
plan for putting 10 or dozen small
Topeka industries under one roof, but
the plan is being looked upon with
favor by several of the factory man
agements who have heard the details.
There are a number of small indus
tries that are occupying small and I'M
pretentious quarters at the present
time. Under the new plan they would
have plenty of room and other advan-
tageS which they do not enjoy while
hidden away in the hooks and cor
ners. They would be in the factory
district and the little industrial bee
hive would be a point of interest for
all visitors to Topeka. In addition it
would be a good advertiseme both
for the industries and for the city.
