King Acts Quickly.

The king, realizing the situation with
lightning rapidity dug his spurs into
his horse, which reared violently. His
quickness saved his life, The bullet,
instead Of burying itself in the king s

Democrats face the caucus with ex-

The progressive Democratic members
were apparently in control, so far as
the selection of a senate leader was
concerned, but the plans to change
seniority rules in the filling of the
committees, on which the newer Sena-

threatened to embroil the Democrats
in a hard fight.

EXODUS IS BEGUN
Wild Scenes Attend Departure
From Washington.
Crowds Storm the Capital
DepOts.
WOMEN FAINT IN The RIISH
Streets of City Uttered With
Debris.
Crowds Still Linger for Glimpse
of President.
WOMEN FAINT IN The RIISH

Washington, March 5-The national
capital, with a next morning head
ache" awoke today to find streets
Uttered with debris after the Inaugural
ton parade, workmen already enga ged
in tearing down stands and decorations
and visitors filtering out like the sands
in an hour glass. Thousands of weary
celebrants already are homeward
bound, and during the night train after
train departed filled to overflowing for
the north, south, east and west.
R1otous scenes attended the exodus
today Tired and impatient travellers
at the union staten rushed the thin
line of police, brushed them aside and
tore down the iron barred gates that
led to the trainshed and the long lines
of waiting railroad coaches. Subsequent
efforts to dislodge them were futile. AS
result many boarded wrong trains.
State troops and marching clubs made
the station resound with the blare of
their bands. Women tainted in the
crush. To make matters worse, the
supply of drinking water, although
ample, could not be utilized freely be-
cause of law against the use of the
common drinking cup. Some genius
used the butt of his musket to smash
into fragments the glass front of a con-
tainer of the individual paper cups and
his lead was followed. All were
wrecked.
1t is estimated that upward of 800, 900
persons witnessed yesterdays cere-
monies. By tonight the greater por-
tion of this vast crowd, it is expected,
will be on it's homeward way. The
railroads had prepared for the strain
and the extensive terminal yards were
blocked with empty cars. while engines
were held in readiness to move them
With an army of men engaged in
cleaning the streets and another army
leveling grandstands and removing
decora tions the capital began to resume
primal appearance. ThrongS of
vi tors. reluctant to leave were in evil
dence early at the White House, hoping
to get a glimpse of President Wilson.
Another curious crowd jammed the cor
ridors of the capitol waiting for the
doors of the senate gallery = to- open,

O'Clock in the. morning he slept only
four hours, and was at his study desk
again to wind-up the business of his
administration. He worked with only
few minutes for breakfast until Mr..
Wilson started from his hotel to the
White House. He spent an hour in the
presidents room in the senate side of
the capitol signing bills, vetoing others
and between times talking with Mr..
Wilson and with senators and represen-
tatives who paid their last call. At the
White House luncheon the president
sat and chatted for ten minutes with
Mrs. Wilson. He left by the south door

WILL LEAVE K. u.
Vice Chancellor Carruth Of
fered More Money.
Stanford University viii Pay
Kansan $4,000 a Year.

Lawrence. Kan, March 5.-William
Herbert Carruth. vice chancellor of the
University of Kansas. was today Of
fered a position as professor of COM
parative literature at Stanford univer-
sity He will probably accept, as the
returns from the new position are near
ly twice those that the state of Kansas
offers. Stanford university offers Pro-
fessor Carruth 81, 900 a year, a year off
for study every seventh year with half
pay, and retiring pension of 50 200 a
year. Kansas pays him 81, 500 a year
for the same work.
A Kansas product, born at Osawat-
omie Professor Carruth ranks as one
of the leading literary men of the state.
Thirteen volumes, ranging from text
books to the well-known book of
poems, Each in His Own Tongue -
bear testimony to his versatility.
Professor Carruth is the second man
within the month to be drawn away
from Kansas by other institutions. H
K. Jackson, director of the food-test-
ing laboratory, went to the University
of Idaho, because Idaho could pay him
81, 500 a year, while Kansas could pay
but 81, 500.
Two other professors, according to
Chancellor Strong, are considering SIM
liar offers.
Professors Hoad, Corp and McClung
were drawn away from Kansas last
spring by the universities of Michigan
and Pennsylvania. Kansas paid Pro-
fessor Hoad $4,000. Michigan pays him
So 900; Kansas paid Professor Corp
81 700. Wisconsin pays him $4,000; Kan
sas paid Professor McClung $2.50O,
Pennsylvania pays him $4,000. with a
promise of 81, 900 more.
The reason the University of Kan
sas cannot hold these men is because
it has been unable for the last half
dozen years to grant full professors
even a small yearly increase, or to as
sure them of the future on account of
the lack of a permanent income. Fur
thermore, Kansas does not provide any
retiring allowance. nor does it permit
professors an absence for research and
study Because of lack of equipment
and of the heavy classroom hours,
Kansas university faculty members
cannot be given opportunity for re-
search and scholarly work afforded by
other institutions.
''There is a market for educators"
said Chancellor Strong this morning,
''just as there is a market for other
professional men, and the best men
will naturally accept the best posi-
tions This is an economic law and
Kansas, in dealing with its education
al institutions, must learn that it can
not change this law"

TRIBUTE To TAFT
Retiring Chief Executive Is
Greeted by Cheers.
Turns From Public Life With
His Famous Smile.

Washington, March 5.-William H.
Taft, public servant since he was 21,
said farewell to public life yesterday
and became a citizen of the republic
that he has served over the seas and
throughout the world for so many
years that he has almost forgotten
when he enlisted. His goodby was a
of his cabinet; a courtly bow to the
women friends who braved the in
augurat1on diScOmforts to bid him and
Mrs. Taft Godspeed in the Union sta
ton; wave of the hand and another
smile for the people who stood in the
train shed and watched his train pull
slowly out for the south. The last
that was seen of the twenty-sixth
smiling figure in a frock coat with
hair a little awry standing on the rear
platform of a car as it was swallowed
in the curling smoke of the tunnel
that leads under the city to Dixie.
His last glimpse of the city, where
four years ago, he became chief ex-
ecutive and is now a private citizen
by the peoples will, was from the
Potomac to where the Washington
monument lifted its gray, pointed
peak to the gray sky. Today he ex-
poets to be in Georgia to rest and play
as the guest of the city of Augusta
for three weeks. On March 81 he
plans to go north again to New Haven,
to settle down under the elms of Yale
to the peace and quiet of life as pro-
fessor of law. He left with no bitter
ness in his heart, he told friends, but
only with thankfulness that he had
been given the opportunity to serve
Washington Not ForgetfuI
Absorbed as it was in the Inaugural
ton pageant, Washington did not for
get the man, the retiring president
Although he was hurried in one of the
White House cars from the back of
the White House down through the
mall and over back streets hundreds
of those on the sidewalks who recog-
nized him cheered Justify He was
forced to break through the line of
to the Union station and the massed
thousands forgot the parade for a
moment to pay their last tribute of
applause.
At the st--tion most of the members
of the Taft cabinet and their wives
and several close friends of Mrs Ta
were waiting. Miss Helen went gently
as the farewells were said and the ewes
of some of the others were far from
dry. With all the ceremony that has
attended his departure on other occa-
sions, the roped wide passagewav
across the broad concourse, the scores
of station police, the secret service men
and his former aide, Major Thomas l..
Rhoads, with his spurs clicking on the
stone, Mr.. Taft marched through a
cheering throng to his train. He stood
for a few minutes by the side of his
car, shook hands once more with his
friends and then stepped aboard.
81 am now retiring to a pedestria n
life" he said.
Yesterday was busy day for MIR.
