Bureau to give him specific intorma-

bureau a number of circulars when

The writer expresses the opinion
that the Bureau ought to acquaint

pile of rocks and then undertook to
send it up a pile of soft dirt rising
almost abruptly from the ground level.
The first trial proved a failure. Wit
nesses say Gilmore attempted to climb
the eight foot embankment a second
time. The tractor turned a complete
somersault, dismounting Gilmore and.
according to witnesses. pinning him
for a minute under the machine. In
addition to the skull fracture Gilmore
suffered bruises about the body.
Died Soon After Accident.
Righting itself the tractor continued
on its way across the street and was
only stopped when it ran into tree.
Gilmore was rushed to Stormont hos

WOMEN GIVEN PENS
Governor Used Four To Sign Suf-
fringe Resolution.

An interesting thing in connection
with the signing of the suffrage rau-
fication resolution Tuesday by Cover
nor Allen, is the fact that he used
four pens to do so. The pens, which
will have an historical value which is
incalculable, since this closes a cam
paign begun in Kansas August so,
1867, were turned over to Mrs. Lila
Day Monroe, state committeeman OF
the National Woman's party.
Mrs. Monroe gave one of the pens
to the Good Government club. which
was the first woman's club in the city
to interest itself in legislative matters
pertaining to public welfare. The pen
was given into the. keeping of Mrs.
Fred Farnsworth, who is the presi-
dent of the Good Government club.
Another pen was sent to Mrs. c. H
Brooks of Wichita, president of the
new League of Women Voters; one
was given to Mrs. w. A. Johnston
who was a director in the National
Suffrage association at the time thai
the amendment was presented; and

seething. 1t is reported today that
ten members of the faculty are

the dismissal. Tuesday night. of Prof.
]. E. kirkpatrick, head of the depart
ment of politics and history.
Notification of the report that the

comment on the report.
Fired by Womer.
Finding that Professor Kirkpatrick
had refused to resign without "a fair.
impartial hearing" President P. P.
Womer dismissed him Tuesday night.
"Incompatibility of temper" was Civ
en- as the cause. The professor had
previously been asked to resign and
was told that the explanation of the
movement would be mailed to him at
Boulder. Colo. where he was going
to attend a summer session at the
University of Colorado
According to Frank G. Dreaming,

Der of the Washburn Alumni associa-
ton. Professor Kirkpatrick is going to
fight this out to a finish"
Faculty Stirred Up.
There is no question that the
faculty is stirred up over the Kirk
patrick matter. Whether members
will carry the matter as far as it is
rumored can only be surmised. Presi-
dent Womer has no information that
this will be done, but some interesting
developments are expected on "the
hill'' within the next few days.
The college executive is standing
pat" His attitude did not waver
when he found that the professor
had no intention of resigning. The
walking papers followed He says
that his act is with the full knowledge
and approval of the board of trustees.

HUNS CAN'T PAY
Kansan in Germany for Last
Six Years Is Back.
He Says War Debt Payment
Would Spread BOlshevism.

Bolshevism is the greatest peril the
world is facing today, in the opinion
of Gottfreid Bohnstengel, who has Just
returned to Topeka after spending six
years in Germany. If the allies insist
on Germany discharging her great
war debt and paying a huge indemnity
1t will result in wider spread of the
red terror" he declares. All Europe
must be enveloped in its tolls
eventually, he believes.
Bohnstengel is of German birth but
naturalized American. Since 1886 he
has been employed by the Santa Fe
railroad as a machinist at Dodge City
In 1918 he took his wife and returned
to Germany on visit. but while there
the war broke out and he was not per-
mitted to leave the country. He re-
manned there during the war and re-
turned home by way of Copenhagen
landing in New York June s. He
has a son in the American army in
France, whom he expects home in a
short time.
Food Is Very Scarce.
Conditions in Hunland are critical
he says. Food is extremely scarce
prices are high, the value of money
is hotbed of Bolshevism. The
'mark"-the German monetary unit
was formerly worth about "a cents ir
American money. Today it is worth
only 10 cents, he says. This is due
to the fact, it was explained, that the
/ German government is dispensing
large sums of paper money in the
country without gold to back it up.
During the war, Mr.. and Mrs. Bohn.
stengel lived in little village called
OrunienburG. a few miles from Berlin

APOLOGIZE TO FOE
Stoning OF German Delegates Involves
Persons From Paris.

PERSONS FROM Paris.
Paris, June 1s.-The demonstration
against members of the German peace
delegation Monday evening, accord
ing to the Petit Parisien, apparently
had its inception in the crowds inter-
probation of some gesture by a Ger
man typist or secretary as a provoca-
tive act.
The throwing of stones and bricks.
which struck two Germans. occurred
as the automobiles of the Germans
passed thru Chesnay, Roquencourt
and Bailly, suburban points, on their
way to the railway station at Noisy LIE
Roi. At Versailles the demonstration
was confined to hooting and jeering.
Two French military chauffeurs.
struck by bricks. were more seriously
injured than were the German dele
gates.
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau took
another route to the railway station
and escaped the demonstrants. The
investigation by Petit Parisien seems
to show that the demonstration was
not spontaneous and that a number
of persons from Paris were involved
in it.
Besides the dismissal of the prefect
of the department of Seine-Et- -Oise
and the police commissioner. both
officials are to offer apologies to DR..
Hancl Won Haimhausen of the Ger
man delegation.
