FUND FROM STATE
Kansas Department of Educa-
tiOn Distributes $29O,OOO.
Amounts to SO Cents a Pupil
Through Kansas.

Earl Akers, state treasurer, today
notified the state department of edu-
cation that there was $3.50 600 avail
able in the school fund for the semi
annual distribution This money, dis
tributed IN February and August of
each year, is derived from the inter-
est on school bonds and school lands,
and is for the use of all schools in the
various counties excepting the Univer-
sity of Kansas and the Kansas state
Agricultural college, the three state
normal schools and the other higher
educational institutions of the state.
If the whole of this amount is dis
tributed the appOrtionment to the
various counties will be about 81 cents
a pupil. The apportionment is made
in the discretion of the state superin-
tendent of public instruction and is
now being worked out in his office
This is based upon the school enumer-
alton, which this year aggregates,
500. oil pupils.
The February apportionment of this
year amounted to 1921, ,3S5.06 or a per
capita allowance of As cents.

Washington, Aug. 14.-The
recent Mexican furry was plot
to stampede th4 United States
into war. President Wilson has
uncovered it.
Three hours after his arrival
in Washington the Mexican ex-
citement petered out.
The identity of the plotters is
not public property as yet, but
investigation is under way now
in Washington and other cities
to discover what interests were
behind the furry.

TAKE MOTOR CARS
Anti Horse Thief Band to Stop
Car Stealing.
Kansas Suffers From JOy Rid
ing Gas Gangs.

]. T. Botkin, secretary of state, will
confer with officers of the state Anti
Horse Thief association next week in
an attempt to obtain their co-opera-
ton in protecting the owners of motor
cars against thieves, it is announced.
Mr.. Botkin pointed out today that
the association has proved itself a
most effective organization and that
it extends into almost every section of
the state. He asserted that with the
cooperation of its members the theft
of automobiles in Kansas could be
brought to a minimum.
Under the plan he is advocating the
members of the association would
report every unlicensed car that
comes to their attention to his office
This, he asserts, would prove most eff
fective in increasing the road funds of
the various counties.
'Since a record of the owners of
each license tag and the number of
his engine is kept in my office, it is
an easy matter to identify a stolen
car" Mr.. BOtkin said. IF the mem
bers of the State Anti-Horse Thief as
sociation will take the number of cars
they suspect as having been stolen
and notify us, / believe there will be
little difficulty in working out So
luton of the problem"

PIotters See Opportunity.

These facts stand out:
When Secretary Lansing met with
the South American diplomats in New
York to discuss the note to the war
ring parties in Mexico, the plotters felt
that the time for action had arrived.
Part of their scheme was to make
trouble on the border. The White
House knows that for several years
certain interests in the United States
have offered sums to certain bad
men" along the Texas border, If these
bad men" would organize armies"
of American Mexicans, lead them into
Mexico and then turn around and
march back into the United States,
killing Americans and destroying
property and making the American
people believe Mexicans from Mexico
were marching on the border states
The present border troubles bear all
the ear marks of such a campaign
The interests that advance such a
campaign as this may be considered
guilty of actual murder.
White House Knows EN-.
The White House knows the name
of at least one prominent character
who has boasted for many years that
he had a standing offer of a large
sum of money from certain American
Interests, which might possibly be
backed by foreign interests, to organ
ize a fake Mexican army of invasion.
At the same time that the border
scare was working up. the same plot
ters succeeded in working up a scare
at Vera Cruz. The White House has
learned that at no time were foreign
ers in danger at that port, but in some
manner the plotters stampeded few
of the less cool heads in the navy, and
ships were headed for southern wa
ters.'
That there are certain interests in
the United States who are determined
to get the United states into war at al
most any cost has been clearly proven
by the recent Mexican furry.
If possible, these interests are going
to be uncovered.
Intervention in Mexico is as far
away ever.

WILSON MAY VISIT CAMP
OF n. Y. CITIZEN SOLDIERY

Washington. Aug. 14.-Major
General Leonard Woods invitation
to President Wilson to visit the
citizen soIdiery camp at Plattsburg,
N. ", has not reached the White
House today and the president only
knew of it through the news dis
patch.
Officials said no comment would
be made until the invitation had
been received. IL seems practically
certain that the president will ac-
cept, stopping at the camp on his
next visit to Cornish, and possibly
he may speak ON the subject of ma
tiOnaI defense.
The plans are entirely uniformed
at this stage, however, and are SUBJ
ject to developments in the mean

Later the Hearing May Be
Transferred to LeavenwOrth.
TO EXAMINE so WITNESSES
Sensations Are Promised From
Probe Testimony.
Well known Lawyers Hired to
Conduct Prison Case.

Charges against the official record
of J. D. Botkin, warden of the state
penitentiary at Lansing, will be heard
next week by a commission appoint
ed by Governor Capper. The hearing
will start Monday morning in the sem
ate chamber in the state house and
may continue a week or ten days. 1t
is probable that the commission will
conduct a portion of it's probe at Lam
sing.
Nearly a score of charges are con-
tanned in the indictment against Bot
k1n's record by D. B. Jones, a dis
charged prison employee. 1t was upon
the Jones charges that Governor
Capper recently suspended Botkin and
appointed a legislative committee to
investigate charges. Special counsel
has been retained by Governor Capper
and two lawyers will defend the Bot
kin record. Probably forty or fifty
witnesses will be examined on behalf
of the state and the defendant. A
number of affidavits also will be Of
fered.
1t was asserted recently that an ef-
fort would be made to keep from the
records any reference to the admin
istration of ]. x. Codding, former
warden, and slated to succeed Bot
kin in event of his removal. This
phase of the situation has not been
discussed for publication by attor
neyS for the state.
After the first two or three days,
it is probable that the hearing will be
removed to lansing, where the prison
records will be available. Several i'm
portant witnesses are employees at
the prison. To bring them to Topeka
would require the shutting down of
several prison departments during the
hearing.
Members of Commission.
Members of the commission ap-
pointed by Governor Capper to pass
on Botkins office record are: SEN
ators James A. Troutman, Topeka;
and Noah l.. Bowman, Garnett; Rep
reSentative Walter A. layton, Os-
borne; L. Y. Pettyjohn, Dodge City;
ator Troutman and Representatives
Layton and Pettyjohn are Republic
ans. Senator Bowman is Demo-
crat and Representative Holderrnan is
a Progressive. Botkin, a Democrat,
was appointed by Governor Hodges to
succeed J. K. Codding as warden of
the penitentiary in 1913. His commits
sion dates from September L, 1913, to
September 1, 1917. He became war
den July l, 1913, when Warden Cod
ding resigned to devote his time to
the practice of law in Leavenworth.
s. M. Brewster, attorney general,
will appear in behalf of the state in
the prosecution of the charges against
Botkin. Edwin McKeever of Topeka,
has been retained privately by Gov
ernor Capper, and will be associated
with Brewster in the prosecution of
the case. T. j. Lafferty of Kansas

BERLIN SILENT ON U-3O
No Comment Made on Reported Mis-
hap to PIunger.

Berlin, Aug. 14.-CVia London)-
The admiralty declines to comment on
the report published abroad that the
German submarine U-30 had been
sunk off a German port by accident,
in consequence of defect in opera
ton but subsequently had been raised.
Official Information is refused also
concerning the fate of the crew.
AS the German navy has a special
ship for raising sunken craft and
other facilities for coping with such
emergencies. the report may quite
possibly be true.
A dispatch from Amsterdam on July
said the U-30 had been sunk off the
mouth Of the Ems and raised thirty
six hours later. one member of the
crew losing his life.
Two More Britishers Sunk.
London, Aug. 1.-THE British
steamer Cairo and the fishing smack
