ALL THE CANDIDATES
FOR SUPT. SCHOOLS
Must Pass Examination Unless
They Now Hold State
Certificate.

Prof. Barksdale Hamlet. State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, has issued the following bulle-
tin relating to the qualifications of
candidates for County Superintend-
ent of Schools:
First-The act OF 1912 requires
all candidates for the Office of
County Superintendent, except those
who are in Office. to hold a State
Certificate issued by the State Board
Of Examiners, which does not ex-
pire during the anticipated term of
Office.
Sec9pd-The. applicant may quail
fly by taking a special examination.
to be held in the Department of
Education. Frankfort, May 80 and
81 and June q and IS. This ex-
animation is in all respects equiva-
leht to the examination for the reg
ular State certificate.
Third-The applicant may quail
fy by taking the regular State ex-
animation, June 30 and 81, either
in the county in which the appli-
cant resides or in Frankfort, before
the State Board of Examiners.
Fourth-Applicants may qualify
after nominations are made in the
August primary. However, there
is only one chance after the pri-
mary, and that is in the regular
State examination in August, and
the candidate cannot take this ex-
animation, except in his home coun-
", where he expects TO run for Of
fee. or in Frankfort in the Depart
ment of Education.
Fifth-Incumbents in office. un-
der the law. are qualified, by virtue
of their past tenure of Office, to run
for reelection without further ex-
animation.
Sixth-The 1912 law prescribes
that all candidates who are not in
cumbents in Office must either have
a certificate as herein described or
take this special examination, which
is in all respects the equivalent of
State certificate. Therefore all
such candidates must have taught
two years, the time required by law
TO secure a State certitcate.-Ken-

NEWLY MARRIED PAIR
ENTER SUICIDE PACT
Accused Clerk Shoots Bride and
Then Stays SeIf-Wom.
an Took Poison.

ST. Paul. Mimi. May III. ].
Curl, arrested by Federal authori-
ties last Wednesday on the charge
of receiving fraudulent checks
through the mails. late to-day shot
and probably fatally injured his
bride of two days and then shot
himself. dying half an hour later.
Curl failed to appear in court this
morning for hearing. having been
released from the county jail on
81 900 bonds.
The shooting tonight brought TO
an end the romance Of Miss. Mar
guerite Logan, of Kansas City, now
Mrs. Curl. and. according to physi-
clans. probably also will end her
life. Last Wednesday Miss Logan
arrived to wed Curl but found him
in Jail. Thursday, however, Curl
secured bail and was ordered to ap-
pear in court to-day for formal
hearing. That afternoon they were
married, Miss Logan declaring she
had faith in Curl despite the charge
against him.
When Curl did not appear in
court Post-office Inspectors began a
search. Locked in a room at a no.
tel the two were found, both near
death. Curl died soon after and
his bride, with several wounds, is
not expected to recover. Officials
believe that dependency over the
charges against him caused Curtis
act.
Notes written by both found to-
night by the police disclosed that
there had been a suicide pact and
that Curl shot his wife and then
turned the weapon upon himself.
One of Mrs. Curtis notes was adj
dressed to her mother, Mrs. NJ. L.
Logan, S5 South Lincoln street,
Denver, Col. Before lapsing into
Inconsistencies at the hospital to-
night she told attendants she had
swallowed a quantity of poison to
make her death more certain.
Curl is said to have been born in
Norfolk, Va.
Last winter while employed with
construction firm at Kansas City.
Mo-. he met Miss Marguerite Lo-
gan and later they became engaged.
A short time ago he came to this
city where he held an important
position with a construction compa-
ny. Curl, 1t was claimed, had pad
ded his payroll and cashed the
checks drawn against fictitious
names.

In speaking of ex-President Taft
recently committing himself as
against the recall regime, the Chi
cago Inter Ocean says:
when William Howard Taft was
President his enemies were wont to
say of him that he had no settled
political convictions. The truth is
that Mr.. Taft had more settled po-
litical convictions than he thought
IL was proper for the Presiden: OF
the United States TO reiterate.
Now that he is Professor Taft OF
Yale he can speak his mind freely
and violate none of the proprieties. 4"
II was this very uncertainty of
principles and expression which
made Mr.. Taft such an unsatisfac-
tory President. A man holding any
Office within the gift of the people.
should be free in the expression OF
his views. The public has a right
TO know just how he stands on cur
rent questions. II may be noted
that we now have a President whose
ambiguity is not apparent.
