1t was decided that the fugitives had
made their escape to the Connecticut

Further discussing the question OF
free tuition and free scholarships In
state educational institutions. the
Newberry Herald and News remarks:
Z mo, the proper thing for the legisla-
ture to do Is to abolish all tuition
charges, and say to the youth Of the
state, here are the state colleges, come
and take advantage Of the opportuni-
ties they offer you for a higher educa-
tion. Then at the same time cut out
all scholarships. That puts every boy
and girl on an equal footing and the
poor and deserving boys and girls on
their metal, so to speak.

Later In the day, victims Of the auto

Eddie Wright. the IT-year-oid boy ar
rested by Detective ed Fleming as a
suspect, could not be identified by the
victims of the auto bandits and viii be
released today unless further develop

At first the officers were positive that
Wright was one OF the two men who re-
turned the pistol fire, but afterwsrd they
admitted that when they pursued the
bandits on foot they lost sight OF them
several times and that at no time were
close enough to get a close look at theiI
faces. They admit the possibility OF
young Wrights being on his way hom'
and being caught in the net of clrcum

The two pictures identified by the vic

old-time criminals, and men whom Tn,
police believed were away from Omaha.

Highway Association
to Meet at Atlanta
for Next Convention

As a result Of the contest among ten
of the leading cities Of the United States
for the 1914 conventiCz OF <ae American
Road congress- under which title the
American Highway association and the
American Automobile association hold
their annual conventions. Atlanta, Ga.
has been selected as the next convention
city.
At the annual meeting OF the directors
OF the American Highway association
which has just been held. the
announcement has been made that At
lGnta has been selected by the executive
committee of the congress and that the
convention would be held there from Oc-
tober 1e to October 9s.
Fairfax Harrison. who succeeded w.
w. Finley as president of the Southern
Railway company. was elected at the
meeting to succeed Mr.. Finley as vice
president of the American Highway as
sociation and as a member of the eX-
ecutive committee. Mr.. Harrison ac-
cepted the position and stated that he
intended TO carry on the work for I'M
proving highways in the south through n
the association, as his predecessor had
hbllts ~ 10 AAhNAS hiAcN NiN NNNNNNi'N
committee will elect Mr.. Harrison chair
man OF that body.
Logan Walter Page. director of the
office OF public roads, who Is president
OF the association, presided at the meet
/ ing and appointed a committee Of three
/ 10 draw up resolutions expressing the re-
grets Of the association over the death Of
4 Mr. Finley II was announced that the
house committee on roads had invited
representatives OF the association to ap-
pear and make suggestions with regard
4 to federal aid. The policy OF the high
way association was described to the
congressional committee as being in ia
yor of federal cooperation in highway
construction and maintenance.
The selection OF Atlanta by the COM
mittee was due TO the fact that the
committee considered the south entitled
to the annual congress In 1914 as the
east was recognized at the 1912 meeting,
the northwest at the 1918 meeting and the
far west win have the 1914 meeting. The
unique experiment by Georgia In working
the entire state convict force on the roads
will afford an interesting study TO the
delegates. while the stimulation afforded
by great roads assemblage will probably
hasten the establishment Of state high
way departments throughout the south
ern states.

was a Catholic. Several of the early

Lafayette. Rochambeau, Kosiusko and
Pulaski. Some of the noted generals of
the Civil war also were aCtholics in
Guiding Phil Sheridan, Rosecrans and
Shields, and am told that three of the
eight Kansas congressman are Cath
olics, being congressman Joseph Tag
CART, George Neeley and John Connolly.
Hundreds of the citizens of our state
and city are Catholics, among them some
of the best citizens, and as good as any in
this court room. While / do not see
things as the Catholics do, I know there
are hundreds of good people in Topeka,
and millions in the world, who belong to
that faith, and who are good Christians.
IF counsel for the defense is compelled
to resort to his denunciation of the Catho-
lie church a last resort in his plea for
his client, he must be in hard straits

POSTMASTERS RESIGN.
Recent Civil Service Order Cause of
DispleaSure.

Washington, March 21--As a result
of the extension OF the classified civil
service to include fourth-class post
masters and the announcement that
postmasters of that class would be
asked to qualify in a competitive ex-
animation, the postoffice department
has been flooded with designations
from the service. At present resigna-
lions are reaching the department at
the rate of 20 a day and officials de-
clare 1000 fourth-class postmasters
have resigned since the executive or
der including them in the, civil service
was issued.
Practically all of the designations
are in postoffices where the postmas-
ter's salary is merely nominal and
where at times the expense of conduct
ing the office equals the postmaster
compensation. In may cases It will
be exceedingly difficult to secure -ap-
plicants who will take the prescribed
examination. While the department is
endeavoring to secure new postmasters,
the incumbents, although they have
resigned. will be forced to continue the
duties of office.
