Governor Has Power to Cause
COnVictS' Death.
Before 1907 Under
"Death Penalty" Law.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb 26.-A1-
though capital punishment was abol-
ished in Kansas nine years ago and
there has been no legal execution for
crime under the laws of the state since
1872, the governor of Kansas still
holds the power of life or death over
fourteen men, life prisoners at the
penitentiary. These men were SEN
fenced under the law prior to 1907.
which provided that convicted mur-
derers should be sentenced to death
and confined in the penitentiary until
the governor of the state should sign
the death warrant.
Few have paid the penalty of death
for crimes in Kansas during the his
tory of the state. The State Historical
society has records of only seven exc
cutions, six by hanging and one shot
to death. All were for murder.
The last legal execution in Kansas
was a double one and occurred in
Wichita, November 81, 1888. This was
almost twenty years after Kansas had
quit hanging criminals under the
state law, but the murderers were
convicted and hanged under the fed
eral statutes governing the territory
of Oklahoma. The event aroused so
much indignation that the government
discontinued executions on Kansas
soil.

convicted.
Seen in a Penitentiary.
La Trasse was next heard of in the
spring of 1912 when Henry thinner
then chief of police of Kansas City,
Kan, visited the Illinois penitentiary
and recognized him. He was serving

under an assumed name, farmer
having arrested him and marched MN
to Jail at the point Of a shotgun.
He was returned to Kansas and
placed in the state prison at Lansing
There he made a record as an eXem-

was alleged to have been implicated
in the death of Frank Miller, No. 4,
an insane prisoner, who was said to
have been beaten to death.
Escaped in November.
Pending an investigation La Trasse
was placed in solitary confinement
but November 15 he escaped. He was

TESTED KANSAS TEACHERS.
Board of Administration Finds State
Instructors Work Hard.

Emporia, Kan, Feb. 26.-Unknow-
ing KanSanS who complain that the
instructors of the state educational
institutions are giving only three hours
a day to their work have been effec-
lively answered by the state board of
educational administration. In an in
VeStigation recently made by the
board of the work being done by each
instructor it was found that the in
StructorS in Kansas state schools aver
daily on affairs connected with the
schools. The State Normal school at
Emporia leads all others by nearly an
hour, the average being eleven hours
and two minutes day for each in
structor.
The investigation was conducted
several months ago by means of
blanks supplied to each teacher. This
week the following letter was received
by the teachers:
I'VE have indeed been gratified at
the amount of information given US
on these returns" said the board s

times to express the belief that the
employees of the state schools were

All activities of the teacher related
to the school are included in the aver
ages, among them being hours devoted
to classroom work, preparation for
lessons, committee work and Sunday
school work. These it should be noted,
are not voluntary but necessary to
KEEP the teacher in his position. The
board is convinced that the teachers
are earning their salaries. Likewise,
the teachers are more sure than ever
before that they are-and the board
