CRUMBINE CLEAR.
Legislative Committee Report to Ex-
onerate Him.

DR.. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the
state board of health, will probably be
completely eXonerated from any of
the charges against his department in
a report to be filed this afternoon by
a special legislative Investigating COM
mittee. Taylor Riddle of Marion
county will probably file a minority
report.
Sometime ago charges We're filed
against DR.. Crumbine and the board
of health, in which a special investi-
cation at the hands of legislative
members was sought This commit
tee was appointed In the charges it
was claimed that Crumbine was draw
ing two salaries. that he was an en-
ployee of the state both as secretary
of the board of health and as dean
of the Kansas university medical
school, and that for the services on
both jobs he received a salary of
$4,000 year, paid from the funds
of the university. His pay check,
$4,000, as secretary of the board of
health was not drawn.
1t was also charged that DIR. Crum-
bine made many useless and unwar-
ranted junketing trips at the expense
of the state. Further than that, it
was charged that he purchased many
sundry items such as individual drink
ing cups, cuspidors, napkins and
other articles; and that he rendered
only a portion of the service expected
from secretary Oh the DOdrQ OF
health.
After taking much oral testimony,
it is claimed that the committee has
agreed to exonerate the doctor. One
of the recommendations to be made
in the report, however, will prob
ably be that the dean of the medical
school shall be ex officio secretary of
the board of health and that his sal
airy for services in these two depart
ments shall be $4,000 a year. AS for
the charges against the department, it
is claimed that the committee will
vote almost unanimously for a clean
bill of health for Crumbine.
Taylor Riddle. member of the
committee, admitted today that he
would not approve a whitewash for
the secretary of the board of health.
He expects to file separate report, if
necessary, to the effect that the two
departments, that of secretary of the
board of health and dean of the med
zeal school, shall be entirely separate
and Independent and that no person
can hold the two positions
The report will be filed late this

A CHANCE To TELL.
Messrs. Stone, Troutman and Voiland
Are Invited.

A complimentary dinner will be ten
dered the members of the legislature
from Shawnee county by the CONNER
cial club next Monday or Tuesday
noon These gentlemen will then have
an opportunity to tell what they have
done for the people of the county in
the last few weeks.
At the same meeting L. B. Bevier
of Kansas City will speak concerning
the Borland bill which was before the
last session of congress and which pro-
vided for national highways from
ocean to ocean. Another similar bill
will probably be introduced in the
short session of congress. A branch
of the road will come through Tope-
ka providing the bill becomes a law.
The good roads committee of the
Commercial club will be in attendance
at the dinner.

approximation His motion was carried
and the senate refused to concur in
the amendment. A conference COM
mittee recommended that San Diego
be again placed on The list and this
report has been approved by both
branches of the state legislature. the
defeat of the conference report in the
house today meant that Kansas could
not appropriate money for a display at
either of the shows, as the action
would kill the bill and the late hour
of the session would make impossible
it's reconsideration.
Country school districts in Kansas
may maintain thorough and complete
high school course under the terms
of a bill which has passed the legisla-
ture The bill, which originated in the
mind of Senator Davis, of Bourbon,
provides that in any county where
Barnes high school or county hgn
school is not maintained that rural
school district may at its discretion
ment of a high school in that district
and may maintain a full and thorough
high school course
The house today passed the Stavely
bill limiting the bonded Indebtedness
of cities of the third class
More presents for the employees
of the house were distributed today.
Just when everything seemed to be
running smoothly, Speaker Brown
called the attention of the house to
the fact that he was compelled to
make public certain charges of cor
ruption and questionable dealing on
the part of Chief Clerk George Rodg-
ers regarding his action in smuggling
certain legislation. Before Rodgers
could even get his breath, A. NJ. Keene
of Bourbon county took the floor and
delivered an arraignment that fairly
blistered the chief clerk. He told of
the number of bills that had been lost,
altered and juggled. Then as he con-
cluded his speech, he handed Rodg
in which the clerk was held by the
house members. Rodgers replied, but
it was a half hour before he was able
to get his bearings and entirely re-
cover from the shock. Later in the |
morning, Docket Clerk Fish was pre-
scented with a ring.
Continuing their efforts to kill time
while the senate is working to clean |
ministration members today offered I
resolutions, extending to the minority |
a Moses to lead them out of the will |
derness. These resolutions were in
spired by Robert Stones speech at the
harmony caucus, when the Shawnee
member declared that a Moses was
needed in the present crisis. The
Democrats offered the Republicans
either Boyd of Republic or Davis of
Edwards as two choices for a possible
Noses to the Kansas Republicans.
And, extending their thanks to the
Democrats, the Republicans graciously
declined the offer.

NOT MUCH GOOD.
Boarding House Keeper Accepts Pay
ment in Confederate Money.

Washington, March 11.-Police to-
day are seeking a suave young man,
who. it is feared, might contract the
habit of popularizing Confederate
money in lieu of legal tender. The
young man yesterday engaged rooms
from Mrs. Joseph Zimmerman,
boarding house keeper, who has not
been long in this county, and gave her
$40 bill, from which she was ex-
pected to take 81 in payment of the
first weeks rent 1t was Confeder-
ate note and Mrs Zimmerman regard
ed it with suspicion.
Sure it is legal tender" said the
young man. President Wilson is
from the south and now all that old
Confederate money is worth it's face
value again.
Mrs. Zimmerman gave him six 81
bills and later, becoming disillusion-
lied, appealed to the police. The
man did not return.

The BEERS JURY.
Court Still Working to Secure a Panel
in Murder Case.

All this morning and probably the
most of this afternoon. will be requir-
ed in securing jury to try the Rev.
w. l.. Beers, charged with the murder
of his wife. The work is progressing
slowly, and each side of the contro-
versy is using it's peremptory chal-
lengeS of ta1esmen carefully.
At noon today two-thirds of the
peremptory challenges permitted by
each side had been used. There were
still four challenges coming to the de-
Tense and two to the state. These are
expected to be used during the after
noon.
At the close of the hearing last
night Judge George H. Whitcomb or
dered special venire of g names
drawn from the jury box, and most
of those drawn We're on hand this
morning for examination as to their
qualifications to sit in the case.
1t is hoped that the jury may be
impaneled this afternoon in time for
the opening argument in the case to be
made before time for adjournment. 1t
is not likely that any evidence will be
introduced until tomorrow morning at
O'Clock, when the actual hearing will
begin. From the care that is being
exercised in choosing a jury it is re-
garded likely that the case will be
long one, lasting probably far into
will be bitter legal fight.
The defendant in the case has been
watching the selection of the jury that
will, before long, hold his fate in their
hands with a good deal of interest
Lines of worry show themselves in his
face, and he almost never smiles.
Three brothers who are here from the
east. who are watching the case close
ly, sit away back at the rear of the
courtroom, nowhere near the defend
ant. They sat together all morning,
watching but rarely saying a word.
The special venire, drawn last
night includes the following: Walter

IN CITY POLITICS.
More Interest Taken and Registration

Candidates for city offices are the
busiest people in town. The local po-
litical campaign is taking on life.
Interest at the present time centers
around the office of the election COM
missioner Candidates are making an
effort to have all their supporters reg
istered before Thursday night at 10
o'clock when the books will be closed.
Monday 436 persons registered. OF
this number 257 were women and 1877
men. Carriages roll up every few min

whom are colored. This is evidence
that there is systematic work being
done by aspirants to city positions.
Please register. This is the word

ton be attended to Immediately so
that an eleventh hour rush may be
avoided on Thursday.

vote who have not as yet registered.
But the prediction is that the regis
tration will be heavy in the extreme
Wednesday and Thursday.
The 700 members of the Good Gov
eminent club are pledged to register
and vote.
1T looked for some time as though
school board positions would go beg
ging but now it is understood there
are five candidates in the field. L.
NJ. Jones filed his petitions this after
noon, and Mrs. Margaret Bostic got
hers in some days ago. Petitions for
p w. Griggs, and DR.. c. B. Van
Horn, retiring members Of the school
board. are being circulated today. Mrs.
Annie Douglas Scott is making a
strong campaign for a place on the
board.
Mrs. Scott stands for economy and
efficiency in the management of the
schools. She would put particular en-
phasis on the work in the grade schools.
Mrs. Margaret Bostic states that she
stands for things practical in the
schools, those things that will fit the
children for their future life.

Health and BEAUTY Aids
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN

A j. B.: You can have beautiful, long.
glossy and fluffy hair of rich, even color
If you shampoo carefully at least once
every month with any wash that does not
contain free" alkali. Do not use soap.
The best most dependable and really de-
lightful mixture is made by dissolving a
teaspoonful of canthrox in a cup of hot
water. This is enough to cleanse both
hair and scalp thoroughly of dandruff,
dirt and excess oil and the hair dries
quickly and evenly with a wonderful
gloss and delightful soft fluffiness.
Mrs. M: Clogging skin With powder is
likely to ruin the finest complexion, en-
large pores and produce pimples and
blackheads. An economical, homemade
spurmax lotion is fine for complexion
faults and frequently used instead of
powder, it is invisible when and inn
parts a delightful, velvety snoothness
and healthy hue to the skin. Get four
ounces of spurmax from your druggist
and dissolve in a half-pint hot water, to
which add two teaspoonfuls glycerine.
The spurmax lotion prevents chaps AMI
