CHEAT AT EXAMS
Crook Hired To Steal Papers for Nc
braska Students.

Lincoln, Neb., June 9.-An investi-
cation into the charges that students
tried to cheat at the examinations by
the state dental board in Lincoln and
thus obtain their licenses under false
pretenses. brought out the fact that
seemingly for years dental students
had bought copies of the questions to
be asked them at the state eXamina-
.tions.
After secret conclave between
Dean Davis of the state university dem
tai college and the students, the for
mer announced that the stealing of eX-
animation papers has apparently been
going on for years. According to Dean
Davis, a professional thief has made a
business of stealing examination pa
pers ard last year operated in Cali
fornia. Dean Davis believes that it
was this man who stole the papers
here.
The students assert, according to
Dean Davis, that they do not know
who the man was, as they received the
papers after notice had been given
them over the telephone that they
were deposited near the Rock Island
track, where they were found.
The man was to be paid after the
examinations had been taken. provid-
ed the boys passed. They now say
that the man has left Lincoln.

Polk as Witness
Acting Secretary of State Polk was
the next witness.
Senator Brandegee asked Polk
whether he has a copy of the treaty
text.
Il got one by courier on May 49,"
responded Polk. Il got ten later and
after that one or two more. They are
all in two safes in the department and
no one has seen them except my as
sistant and myself. They have not
been out of the office. They were
sealed before being put into the safes''
Were your orders from the presi-
dent not to make them public?" asked
Brandegee.

ference to hold them pending further
instructions"

At Brandegee's request Polk prom
ised to compare the last copies he re-
ceived with the first ones to see
whether any changes were made.
Polk said he had not read the copies,
hence doesn't know whether there are
any differences.
Senator Knox inquired in detail con-
corning the handling of the copies in
Folks office. Polk said the seals were
broken on the pouches containing the
treaties by his assistant, or in the de-
partment's mail room, but on the par
ticular packages in which the treaties
were wrapped the seals had not been
broken except in the case of the first
copy received May 10. There was
mot a chance" Polk said, that one of
his copies had been shown any one
outside.

Allies Reported Lowering the
League Bars to Germany.
Foe Must Give Proofs of Stable
Government First.

Paris, June 9.-Premier Clemenceau,
Col. T.. NJ. House and Lord Robert

founder members may be admitted to
the league of nations.
Their report. which modifies some
what the covenant so as to render the
admission of Germany easier, will be

1t is understood that the conditions
recommended for Germany's admis-
sion are:
First: The establishment of q
stable government.
Second: The signing of the
treaty of peace
Third: The loyal execution of
the peace treaty.
A proposed fourth condition relative
to Germanys abolishing compulsory

1t has been decided by the allied and

to the German counter proposals will
not be delivered before Friday. June

The reply will give the Germans a

A speeding up process, similar to
that adopted for completing the Ger

the counter proposals. The more OPP

treaty would be signed by June 20.

Germany's demand for manufactures
over certain of her former colonies.
This decision was said to have been
reached despite the suggestion of
American experts that she be given ad-

Washington, June 9.-Congress be-
gan the fourth week of its new ses-
sion today with the senate consider
ing the bill of Senator Kellogg of Min
nesota. Republican, providing for the
repeal of the law authorizing the gov
eminent control of telegraph. tele-
phone and cable wires and the house

Action on the Kellogg bill by the

in ordering operation of wire lines re-
turned to private control and the
strike of commercial telegraphers and
telephone operators was looked for.
The army appropriation bill as pre-
scented to the house today provides for
an army of 100000 men and, in addf-
ton to being stripped of general legis-

FED 1900 SUNDAY
Three Troop Trains Spent Sew
eraI Hours Here.
Canteen Women Worked Hard
Entertaining Them.

Topeka entertained and fed 1900
soldiers of the seth division Sunday
morning. But altho a triumpha1
march had been prepared for these
Eheroes. the glory trail of Kansas went
untrod by the 1900 pairs of soldier
feet.
The troops arrived in Topeka over
the Union Pacific railroad, the troop
ers running in three sections. On
board were the 342nd field artillery.
the 342nd machine gun battalion. the
Saith field artillery brigade headquar-
tiers and company of divisional mill
tary police.
The first section arrived about 6
O'Clock in the morning, and the other
two sections at intervals of twenty
minutes. At O'Clock the soldiers
were given breakfast by the ladies of
the Red Cross canteen.
Cantecn Women Worked Hard.
And to this breakfast hangs tale
of sleepless hours at hard labor and
an astonishing amount of self sacrifice
on the part of the canteen women.
Working in four-hour shifts the
women of various canteen companies
worked turnout the night preparing
ham and egg sandwiches and filling
lunch boxes for the boys.
Breakfast finished it developed that
neither the men nor the officers of
the command were especially enlnuS-
iastic over the idea of a parade Sun
day afternoon. Two reasons were as
signed. One, the sun was too hot.
The other was that the men in the
units were not particularly good
marchers. Their work in France had
been feeding shells into the big guns,
and the work required very little foot
drill of the sort which goes to make
up pretty parade.
Given Boxes Upon Leaving.
After conference between r. R.
Baer. chairman of the military COM
mittee. and the Chamber of Com
merce, and the officers of the troops
it was decided that a parade was a
feature of the entertainment to be
avoided. The result was that the boys
had a regular garden party all to
themselves for upwards of three
hours.
The troopers left Topeka for Fun
ston at IL o'clock. And each train
was supplied with great boxes of food
for the men. Just before the sections
pulled out the canteen loaded big
boxes of food and things into each
car of each section and today the right
of way between Topeka and Funston
is strewn deep with oiled paper sand
wich and cake wrappings.

you have demanded an investigation

Il have felt that II was highly unde-

has possession of the official English
text has what he has clearly not en-
