Six-Year Old Victims Lungs, Throat
and Stomach Burned

SPRING LAKE, y. j., April r.
Stanley Newman, six-year old son of
Archibald Newman Of Villa Park. was
following his father over the links of
the Spring Lake Golf club when he
picked up an old golf ball with the
outer cover broken.
The boy walked along chewing on
the golf ball without being noticed by
his father, and his teeth penetrated to
the core, when the acid inside the ball
squirted into his mouth and down his
throat. He was hurried to the Ann
May hospital at Spring Lake, but died
in few hours without regaining con
sciousness. The doctors found the
child g lungs, throat and stomach bad
ly burned.

MOVE LAW SCHOOL?
Washburn Students and Faculty Want
to Get New Quarters.

A great deal of agitation is now
being shown among the faculty and
students of Washburn to move the
Law school from the old building in
which it now holds classes on West
Sixth street. An alley in the back and
the noisy street in front are among
the objections. At times. according
to Dean Hughes. it has been neces-
sary to suspend recitation when some
rag picker and his rickety wagon
passed beneath the windows
A certain faction, mostly students.
are in favor of moving the school
to the campus of the college. This,
however, is impractical. according to
Dean Hughes The courts, state IL
brary and attorneys offices are all up
town and it is more than advisab BILE
that the law school should be as close
to these as possible.
Others of the college, hope that a
site just south of Memorial hall may
be secured and a new building erected
on that site In spite of the differ
ences in opinions. the whole school
seems TO feel that the school should be
moved
The law students, themselves. have
stated that their quarters have lost
them many students New men enroll,
stay for a semester or a year and then
are lured to some other school by more
favorable buildings

TAXING SALARIES

Already there is discussion at Wash
ingtOn over revision of the revenue
law, in December, and there ought to
be revision, in at least one respect.
In the closing hours of the Senate
House conference, there was slipped
in new provision carrying a tax OF
s per cent on the earnings or salaries
over $4,000 of professional men and
others who make their living without
stated capital.
The lawyer, doctor, editor, college
president pays the usual tax up to
$4,000 and then this special tax, the
highest fiat rate contained in the law
And the Senators and congressman
kindly exempted themselves from this
imposition. =,
In morality and justice, the fellow
who has climbed up to salary OF
$4,000 deserves moro consideration In
tax carrying then one who strikes
oil, buys war bridges or gets big
income in other sorts Of speculation,
and yet, under this law, he who has
dug, through long years, and whose
profession contributes to the common
good, is especially singled out.
