Wallace Murder Trial.

Testimony to show that Mabel Morris,
alleged victim of Andrew Wallace, had
eaten supper somewhere other than her
home late the night she disappeared.
was introduced in the murder trial of
Wallace this morning. Dr. H. NJ. Con-
ner who made an examination of the
stomach of the girl. testified that the
contents of that organ revealed pieces
of string beans and a thin, membranouS
substance that resembled the skin of
a green gage plum, almost in it's orig
inal form. He said such substances
had not, in his opinion, been in the
stomach over an hour.
The testimony of members of the
family was to the effect that they ate
a supper of veal and potatoes about
O'Clock in the afternoon. The girl
was last seen alive, and in the pres
ence of Wallace, about 10 o'clock the
same night at the Rock Island depot,
according to witnesses.
Witnesses told of finding the girls
hat near the Santa Fe shops after her
body had been recovered from the
Kansas river. and the 1ocket and chain
she wore also were introduced in evil
dence, having been found in a pool hall
where Wallace worked as porter.
Every bit of evidence so far has been
circumstantial. and nothing but circum-
stances is expected to be shown. The
only startling testimony was that of
witness yesterday who swore that she
saw Wallace and the girl at the Rock
Island depot the night the girl disap-
peared about 10 o'clock The theory of
the state is that she was induced to oc-
company Wallace to the Rock Island
bridge and was thrown from there into
the river.

ROGERS CAPTAIN
Washburn Tackle Will Lead
IchabOdS Next Season.
''Kack" Smiley Has Resigned
to Enter Medical School.

d. Rogers, a junior, has been elect
ed captain of the Washburn football
team to succeed Rack Smiley, who
has resigned. Rogers selection was
made today at a meeting of the WASH
burn athletic board. Smiley was
elected but resigned and will enter the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Medical school
this fall.
Rogers has played on the team three
years. He came here as a graduate
from Oberlin high school where he
was member of the team. He played
with the Washburn freshman team in
1910, fullback on the varsity in 1911,
left tackle in 1912 and will play left
tackle and captain this fall
He is a good player on the offensive
and exceptionally good on the defense.
r. Wolf will play right tackle. Coach
w. L. Driver believes that the Wash
burn team will be better fortified in
these positions, with these two men,
than any other team in the state. He
believes that Washburn will have a
more successful team this fall than a
year ago for the reason that a majority
of the players will be experienced men.
The team will be lighter than in 1912,
but the experience and speed will
overcome the other features

Should Build One.

J. Ralph Roberts, chairman of the
American Purity Federation, proposes
state home for rescued girls and
will ask for an appropriate ton for such
an institution when the 1915 legislature
meets. Roberts was a lobbyist for the
white slave bill during the 1911-13 ses-
sions of the legislature. Now he pro-
poses to return to the 1915 session and
ask for the new state home
The plan proposed by Roberts does
not mean the elimination of the Girls
school at Beloit, but would remove the
age limit for admission to the Beloit
institution and also create new girls
home somewhere in Kansas. In this
new home would be housed the girls
rescued from the white slave traffic in
this state. An appropriation for this
building will be asked at the hands of
the 1915 legislature and the town de-
string the site will be asked to pro-
vide ground for the buildings
