Score of Witnesses Testify Before
Governor That Charges of Dere-

That the charges of R. S. Sanborn

Of college officials during the recent
influenza epidemic are not based on
fact was proved by testimony of
score Of witnesses called before Gov
ernor Ernest Lister and the five
members of the board of regents of

and Thursday OF this week. Mr..
Sanborn after refusing the request
of the board of regents to attend the
session OF the board and make his
charges direct, came to Pullman
Wednesday noon upon telegraphinc
request Of Governor Lister and laid
before the tribunal his charges as
outlined recently in a signed state
ment in the Spokesman-Reyiew.
over 20 witnesses, persons who
were in direct touch with the situa-
! ton throughout the entire period of
the epidemic, and whose integrity is
not to be questioned, testified that
the situation was handled in an ad-
mirable way, and the charges OF the
! Spokane man soon crumbled and fell
before the contrary evidence of these
witnesses.
The sessions were held behind
closed doors, but it is the intention
of the board of regents to sum up
the testimony and make available for
publication a full statement of the
findings,
Dr. C. S. Kalb of Spokane, whom
Mr.. Sanborn brought to Pullman

his sick son, failed to accept the in

JUST SIMPLE COMMON SENSE
Really Nothing to BE Alarmed About
When Speaker Uses PretentIous
Word Psychology"

One way to get an audience nova
days is to call the subject of ones
talk Psychology" A Harvard pro-
fessor recently amazed a convention
of clothing manufacturers and deal
ers by delivering an address upon this
topic, I'm which he laid down several
principles about the effect of clothing
upon the wearer and the surprise of
his hearers was due to the discovery
that what the learned man had dIgni-
fed by a long word was nothing more
than what more commonly passes for
common sense. A good many of the
things he said were already known to
them. If they had stopped to think.
When he placed them under the head
of psychology they sat up and took
notice, says the Oregonian.
He said, for example. that the we'll
dressed man is 10 per cent more eff
cient than the poorly dressed man. He
said that clothes that do not fit pre-
vent the wearer from doing his best.
Cleanliness promotes self-respect. Self
respect is contagious, like confidence.
The man who does not think well Of
himself is unlikely to win the good
opinion of others. Comfortable cloth
ing, made of good material. well brush
ed, was the foundation Of the super
structure, he said. He was talking to
hard headed business men, and they
believed him, because their own expe-
rience showed his statements to be
true.

during this week. ending Monday,

At the request of Herbert Hoover,

lief in Belgium. the Red Cross has I'M
dertaken to gather from the American
people supply of garmnts that will
keep the population of Belgium from
what Mr. Hoover in a cable TO Henry

safety"
Beginning yesterday every chapter
of every Division. covering the whole
United States, started on intensive
drive to which every single household
in the country is asked TO contribute
something in the way of old clothes
and necessary household articles.
Few Americans realize that it is
through this channel alone that peo-
pie of Belgium can obtain the abso-
lutte necessities of wearing apparel to
cover their bodies. Not only the poor
er classes, but people of every posi-
ton an estate are in such restitution
as the American mind can scarcely
conceive. All stocks of clothing and
raw material that were in Belgium
at the outbreak of the war have long
been exhausted. There are absolutely
no imports, except those which the
Commission for Relief in Belgium has
been permitted to make and these
naturally have never been sufficient
for the needs of the entire people.
There is a world shortage of clothing
and raw material. so that even the
limited purchases that the Commits
sion has previously made, are no
longer possible. But one relief re-
mains for Belgium-what the rest of
the world GIvES-what individuals
