DAWSON TO SENIORS.
Attorney General Refers SarcasticalIy
TO Governor Stubs.

Il really think that I can bring you
q brand new piece of news from the
administration and that is that a GER
tain member of the administration has
announced his ambition to become a
United states senator" This was said
in a sarcastic manner by John Dawson
in speaking this noon at a compliment
tarv dinner given at the Commercial
Hrlub by the senior class of the WASH
burn law school in honor of the men,
bers Of the faculty of the institution
and a few invited guests.
you might have been able to knock
me down with a feather, continued
the attorney general, when I heard
that news, if it had not been for the
fact that in the last few months /
have become used to startling informa-
ton.
s.1z-he biggest riddle since left col
Ieee has been to solve the question of
what all my hurry was about before
started in with my life work. AcquN
yourselves like men and put up good
fight and you will have measure OF
success equal to your desserts.
1.-The work at the college has trebled
the earning capacity of every young
LAWYER who took the Washburn law
course. The faculty is a remarkable
one. Some of the most able lawyers
Of the state give their services.

whether you agree with it all, or like

successful in advertising Fra Elbertus.
Advertising men who frankly admit
that as a. class they are the brainiesr
men in the country take Hubbard S
Magazines often for the advertisements
alone, and by many experts the adver-
tisements appearing III The Fra and
The Philistime are considered the best
to be found anywhere. It should in
fairness be said also that by many
these advertisements are thought to be
about the worst. However that may
be, they stand the acid test. They bring
results. The Topeka Advertising club
is bringing Mr.. Hubbard to Topeka as
a mem Der of the advertiser s fraternity.

audience than the merits of the lecture

NO ARRESTS TODAY.
Some of the Dynamite Suspects Have
Disappeared

Indianapolis, Feb. 13.-Sudden dis
appearance Of some of the men be-
leved to have been named as minor
defendants in the dynamite con-
spiracy cases was said to have caused
delay in the government plan to make
arrests today, and an announcement,
seemingly final. came from United
States District Attorney c. w Mil
ler's office that the action would go
over until tomorrow.
Il don't think there Will be any ar
rests today said Mr.. Miller. He in
tinated it was strongly probable the
arrests would occur tomorrow.
What caused the delay Mr.. Miller
and his assistants refused TO state
but it was reported from several cities
that government agents temporarily
had lost track of a few of the fifty or
more defendants. Ever since the in
dictments were returned last Tuesday
government agents have been watch
ing the men indicted and sort of
checking up system to show that they
all were under surveillance has been
going on here.

also found that the commission for the
sale of the securities was bit out of pro-
portion and suits We're filed against the
