REAL STATUS OF CASE.
DIR. Harding Tells Why School Board
Dropped Text Book Case.

That c. c. Starr, superintendent Of
city schools, is deceiving the people
in regard to the school book PROPOSE
tion is the assertion of DR.. Eva Hard
ing.
"superintendent Starr" she says
oseems to have wonderful power in
misleading newspaper reporters in
having them unintentonally mlSleao
the public as to the facts IN any ques-
ton affecting the use of Illegal text
hooks and the proceedings of the To-
peJ<a board of education. This power
enables him when caught and con-
yicted by the district court of attempt
ing to burden the people with illegal,
unnecessary school books solely in the
int. est of school book publishers to
insert in the newspapers careful
write up showing him to be bene-
factor Of the poor as was done in
Monday evenings issue OF the state
Journal.
saThe real reason Mr.. Carver and
Mr. Starr did not go into the supreme
court was because they had no client.
After they had offered their services
free and had performed all the neces-
sary legal work, printing of brief, etc,
they were ordered by that honorable
BODY to drop the case as the board
was satisfied with the decision of
Judge WhitcOmb. In the face of this
the man at the head of the public
schools charged with the responsibility
of the moral education of our youth
deceives the people by telling them
the case was dropped to save ex-
penSe.
ST desire to settle this question on
its merits solely, and without prac-
ticing any deception on the public.
believe the same to be true of the
Topeka board of education and COM
plications that involve them are the
result of Mr.. STAIRS deception with
them.

DO WORMS THINK RISE in WHEAT
Prof. Yerkes of Yale Believes
They Have Brains.
One Learned Not to Go Near
Electric Current.

Boston, Dec. 5.-From a series of
experiments conducted in his psychol-
gica1 laboratory, Professor Yerkes
of Harvard has become convinced that
an angle worm can think.
knowing that an angle worm will
always crawl out of a lighted place
into a dark one, the professor put a
worm into a glass dish in which were
two dark holes. The right hand hole
was an ordinary earth cavity The
left hand one, however, contained an
electric battery, the object of which
was to give the worm q mild shock in
case it entered. After few trials the
worm learned its lesson and could be
counted on to always turn to the right
when it was put into the dish

SANDERS RESIGNS
President of Washburn College
Educator and Biblical Writer.

Business End of College.

President Frank Knight Sanders has
resigned as chief executive of Wash
burn college, the resignation to take
effect July / of next year. Inc
resignation was accepted November zz
at a special meeting of the board OF
trustees, but the fact was not made
public. Reluctantly was action taken
by the board at Washburn will lose
an educator and Biblical writer OF
national reputation.
In a statement issued by President
Sanders the reason given for his res
1gnation is that he does not feel him
self fitted to undertake the financial
responsibilities that will be thrust upon
the president of the institution in the
next few years. He feels that his
main effectiveness lies along the line
of executive and educational work.
President Sanders came to Wash
burn college in the fall of 1908, sue
ceeding DR.. Norman Plass. He was
previously dean of the divinity school
at Yale. No action has been taken to
procure a successor to President Sand
ers. A new man will probably not be
chosen before the annual meeting Of
the board next June.
President Sanders makes the follow
ing statement:
Il deeply regret the necessity of Of
fering my resignation to the trustees.
I have pondered long over the matter
and feel sure that, on the whole, it
is a wise step to take. have not for
one moment lost confidence in Wash
burns future, nor wavered in my de-
votion to the interests OF the college
as 7 have seen them. Nor have
been unwilling to make any personal
sacrifice of time or energy which would
seem to be demanded by the college.
I have sought by every means in my
power to be the kind of leader that
Washburn needed.
The overwhelming need of Wash
burn for the next three years is a
very large increase of its permanent
funds. If the college has not added

San Francisco, Dec. 5.-The electric
light plant which has supplied the
town of OcoS, Guatemala, for the last
four years, is about to up-anchor and
depart.
Fur years ago a big steamer of the
kosmos line, en- route to San Fran
cisco from European ports, was car
ried into shoal water near Ocos by a
tidal wave. She rested on an even
keel, with her machinery undarnaged
but efforts to refioat her failed. An
enterprising Guatemalan ran wires
ashore and proceeded to keep the
ships dynamo busy A philadelphia
salvage concern has succeeded in re-
floating the ship, however, and oil

K. C. IN CHICAGO CLASS
Rates on Burglar Insurance Increased
rs to 1915 Per Cent.

Kansas City, Dec. 5.-The national
bureau of burglar insurance companies
has given official recognition to KAN
saS City as winter resort for thieves.
Kansas City agents have been notified
that after the first of the year all the
rates will be increased from 20 to
331s per cent. The reason, the bu-
reau says, is this city has become d
bad risk. 1t is known to be a place
where robbers and burglars flock with
out fear of much interference from
meddlesome policemen. The increase
