i'll Investigate Educational System
"i State Without Help of u. >.
Bureau OF Education

At meeting Of the Washington
educational survey commission held
last week, az Seattle, at which all
members save one were present it
was decided to sever all connection
with the United States bureau of
education and conduct the survey of
the state institutions independently.
The action comes, say members of
the commission, as result of the
slowness of the United States bureau
/ to act, and also because the state
commission was not in favor of the
| advisers and investigators selected
by Dr.. p. p. ClaXton head of the
federal bureau.
The survey commission was APP
pointed as the result OF bill passed
by the state legislature, on the
recommendation of DR.. Claxton. The
purpose of the commission is to
make a thorough investigation of the
state institutions in order to see
whether there are needless duplica-
tions of courses, and also to find out
what changes, if any, would serve to
Increase the efficiency of the schools.
The understanding was that the
United States bureau of education
would name Il number of leading
educational experts of the country,
and out of that number the state
commission was to select three, who
were to outline their ideas of the
scope and funcaions of the ideal state
university state college and normal
school. DIR. ClaXton was asked to
send DR.. S, p. Capen, specialist in
| higher education, to collect the data.
Victor Zednick, member of the
commission, explained it's action as
follows:
The commission and the heads
of the institution of higher learning
of the state have been in conference
on special phases of the educational
survey We have been in tele-
graphic communication with the
United States commissioner of edu-
cation and other prominent educa-
tors of national reputation.
Further work of the commission
will not be carried on under the su-
pervison of the United States bureau
of education. DR.. S. P. Capen, spe-
cialist in higher education, of the
bureau, will not assemble the data
concerning the higher institutions Of
! learning, nor will DR.. p. z. Claxton,
| United States comm issioner of edu-
cation, be engaged in any part of the
work For this work, together with
| the gathering of facts concerning the
common and secondary schools, and
for all other cooperation, the com
mission will name Independent ex-
perts of note. and the active survey
will begin as soon as the experts can
get to this state.
There are several reasons for this
decision. At the last meeting of the
commission, December Is and 10,
! it was decided to call to Washington

Survey Board Drops Dr.. CIaxtOn

IN an advisory capacity President A.
Ross Hill OF the University OF Mis-
souri, President Pearson of the Iowa
State College, and President Henry
ii, SECRECY OF the Cedar Falls normal
school OF Iowa, Dr.. Claxton was
notified OF this decision and empow-
cred, provided these could not act,
to select any other three men agree
able to the presidents of the uniyer-
sity and state college and the prin-
clpals OF the normal schools. These
men were not to make a detailed sur
vey OF local conditions, but rather
to appear before the commission and
outline the scope and functions of
an ideal university, state college and
normal school. DR.. Claxton was
asked to send DR.. Capen to assemble
the facts.
This letter was sent December Is
and no answer received until Janu-
AIRY 20, although DR.. Claxton prom.
ised to have DR.. Capen on the ground
not later than January 15. When he
did answer it was to state that DR..
Capen could not begin his work here
until February 20, and would be as
sisted by DR.. Hill president of the
University of Missouri. He further
declared the bureau could give no
assistance for the common school
work until next fall. The law re-
quires that the report shall be made
and presented to the governor not
later than April 80.
The commission opposed DR..
Hill, and DR.. Claxton replied DR.. Ca
pen would not do the work without
him. The commission believed DR..
Hill thoroughly com petent and alb
solutely fair, but did not feel it de-
sirable to have this work done by
one of the three determined upon
| under a tri-party agreement. In
view of the fact that DR.. Claxton was
resolute in his determination to have
DR.. Hill, and could not make the
common school survey in time, the
commission, being determined to
give the public school question dte
consideration, was forced to dscon-
tinue negotiations and look for ex-
perts elsewhere.
The commission is in communi-
cation with Dr.. e. P. Cubberly, of
Columbia university, who is an ex-
pert III common school administra-
! ton and investigation. 1t is hoped
he will guide the survey work in con-
nection with the public school prob
lem. We are also in communication
with DR.. Chas IL. Judd of Chicago,
! Commissioner David Snedden of
Massachusetts; Chancellor Edward
G. Elliott of Montana, and w. G. Bag
ley of the University of Illinois, to
assist the members in securing all
OF the necessary information relative
to all OF the state institutions of
higher education.
1T is the desire of the commission
to have a complete examination made
appertaining to our educational sys-
tenn, both comm on schools and in
stitutions of higher learning, and we
are using every means to start the
work at once"

LANEY-HAYNES CASE
: IN SUPERIOR COURT
Sensation Caused by Disappearance
of important Exhibits for Plain
tiff-Many Witnesses
Registered

.
Laney versus David NJ Haynes, in
which Mr.. Laney seeks to recover
$4,000 for alleged alienation of the
affections of his former wife, is now
being heard in the superior court
and much interest is being taken in
the proceedings by Pullman peo-
pie, as all the parties interested in
the suit are known here.
The case went to the jury at noon
Thursday, and up to the time of go
ing to press the jurors were still
celebrating.
Anent the case the Colfax Pa
lcuser of Wednesday has the follow
ing to say:
For the past two days the court
room has been crowded with inter
ested spectators, the case having at
tracted widespread attention by rea-
son of the fact that the same action
was tried before the superior court
two years ago and was continued
when the jury failed to agree.
Shortly prior to this action it is
understood that the defendant Sc
cured legal separation from his wife,
and last year Mrs. Laney brought
action to secure a divorce from her
husband. The latter fought the case
and, while a divorce was granted, he
was given the custody of the minor
children, of which there are four.
Several months later Haynes and
Mrs. Laney were married.
A mild sensation was caused yes
terday when it was shown on the
witness stand that the Peddicord ho-
tel register of Spokane and two
pages from the register of hotel at
The Dalles, Ore, entered as exhibits
in the former trial, had disappeared.
1t appears that the jury in the form
er trial was dismissed on a Sunday
morning by Judge Jackson of Col
vile, before whom the case was
tried, and that the foreman of
the jury turned over the exhibits in
the case to Bailiff Brown. Contrary
TO the usual custom, County Clerk
b. f. Manring was not called when
the jury was dismissed, consequent
~ II was not possible to place the
EXHIBITS in the vault in the clerk s
oftlce, and Mr.. Brown placed them
IN the judges desk. On the follow
ing Monday morning, when the eX-
hibits were turned over to Clerk
Manrlng, the latter noticed that the
Feddicord register was gone. He
dld not notice the absence of the two
pages in the other register until
Monday morning, when the present
case began.

VILLA SECRETS
BY WALLACE SMITH.

lnt'l News Service Staff Correspondent
EL4PASo. May 11-Pablo Lopez is
paying today for some OF the horrors
he brought to Santa ISABEL and
Columbus.
Down in chihuahua City they are
trying to get some information from
Villas chief executioner before he
faces, the firing squad. Lopez without
doubt wishes that he had been killed
yesterday or that he had died in the
cave where he dragged himself shot
through both legs For Pablo Lopez
has information that his captors want.
The information about the location
and strength OF his chieftain, Pancho
Villa, OF course. But that is only in
cidental. Most OF all they want the
secret OF where Pablo Lopez hid the
loot he has acquired in his bandit
years.
Consul Garcia in FL Paso says that
in one cache alone Lopez has secreted
80 bags of gold dust worth 100000.
They have ways Of getting informa'
ton Of that sort in Mexico. The
Spaniards years ago brought the les,
son Of the rack, the white-hot brand
and the other niceties of the Inquisi
tion.-

fortune schemes. Blazing chips jabbed
into superficial knife stabs is one
Playing the soles of the feet and split

But most efficaclous is the ant
heap. This plan is credited to the
Yaqui Indians. It has been used with
