QUESTION up AGAIN
ABOUT COMPELLING
CHAPEL ATTENDANCE
Former Editor Backs Obstinate
Convict in Resisting Rules
of Penitentiary.

Lincoln. Neb.. Oct. 2s.-whether or
not 1t is cruel and unusual punish
ment to require a convict at the state
penitentiary to attend chapel services.
Is question that was put up squarely
to the board of control. when Charles
Wooster of Silver Creek, asked that
the warden be restrained from punish
Ing Convict George st. Clair because
he refuses to so to chapel. Wooster
is former country editor. who has
retired on the profits of a farm, and
Is constant contributor to the news
papers after taking sharp issue with
the preachers.
Wooster was so impressed with
what he declares an 'abominable
rule" that he hired Judge Albert, n
Columbus lawyer, to come down and
seek to have the board rescind the
rule. Judge Albert took the ground
that the rule was unconstitutional In
that IL was Il cruel and unusual pun
ishment forbidden by the states basic
law, and that when a taxpayer like
Mr.. Wooster objected 1t could not be
sustained. because it was compelling
him to support house of Worship He
insisted that the warden could adopt
no rule which the legislature might
not constitutionally enact. Inasmuch
as services are held steadily in the
prison chapel, it becomes a place of
worship within the meaning of the
and no ono. convict or
his consent. He declared that Christ
did not use force to gain converts.
and he invcighcd bitterly against the
that would compel men
to attend and support religious serv-
ices and places of worship.

OF vERAcirY
IN THOMAS CONTROVERSY

Lincoln, Neb.. Oct 29.-rhe next
fight in the Thomas scrap will circle
around whether or not the president
of the kearney normal told any mem-
beers of the state board of education
that he had been offered the position
of president of the University of Ar
kansas. The teachers committee of
the board says that he did and that
he was using this to secure a boost
in salary, and that as a matter OF fact
he never did have any such offer.
Thomas says that he never made the
statement. but that he did say a COM
mittee from the university had talked
with him about accepting the position.
The newspaper reporters say that
Thomas told them the committee had
offered him the presidency. The board
has letters from members of the trus-
tees of the Arkansas institution In
which they say that Thomas name
was never considered or suggested at
any meeting. and that while commit
tees were supposed to be looking out
for the right man, no committee had
any authority to offer anyone the pres

WATER COMPANY NOT IN
HURRY TO SELL TO CITY

Des Moines, Ia. Oct 2s-The Des
Moines Water company does not. care
when the city holds its election to vote
bonds for the purchase of the system.
Charles S. Denman, general manager
Of the plant. yesterday told Mayor
Hanna. The owners are ready to turn
the property over to the city any time.
If the situation is not favorable this
fall for the success of the issue, Mr..
Denman says the city council should
postpone the vote until next spring.
Mayor Hanna wanted this informa-
ton in order to place 1t before the city
council tomorrow. He thought that
perhaps the water company wanted to
close the deal up this year and that it
would object to postponing the mater
until spring.
The mayor says the city has in
vested $4,000 In litigation to get the
water plant to place where the city
could buy it, Therefore 1t is important
that the most favorable time for a vote
on the bond issue shall be selected. He
says the city must not lose the money
1t already has invested in the plant.
