Course to Students,

The Washburn college law school is
offering !. four-year law course open
to high school graduates. This is in
addition to the three-year course re-

carrying college work in the first year
of the new four year course, the in
PRODUCTION to straight law work can
be made more gradual.
The first year of the new four-year
course will consist of American his
tory, British constitutional history,

composition, political science, public
speaking and torts. The second year
will be given chiefly to law subjects
with economics as the college sub
jects. The third and fourth years will
be devoted to law subjects.

STICK PIPE IN MUD
Tnat Is All Ranger, Tex People Have
To Do To Get Gas.

F. T. Bayzer, APT Madison, has just
returned from Ranger, Texas, where
he had gone to investigate the oil and
gas fields, with a view to investing.
The town of Ranger, he says, has
sprung in few months from village
of 1900 or 1000 people, to a city in
the making of ten Nor dozen times
that many. The oil and gas fields in
and adjacent to Ranger, are about
80 miles long and SO miles wide. Gas
spouts up from the mud, and the only
street lights of the town of Ranger are
iron pipes several feet long, stuck in
the ground, with the gas coming out
at the top.
Bayzer is carpenter by calling, but
did not work at it down there because
he was more interested in the oil
game. Carpenters, he states, are re-
ceiving $500 a day in Ranger, and
other labor is proportionately high.

10 Rotary Club Members

Z A Rotary club dinner given at
the Athletic club last night drew
2l9 members. The meeting differed
from the regular weekly Rotary club

One Of the chief attractions of the
evening was to have been the exhi-
bition Of the government film, Cit
to Fight" a picture devoted to
combating social diseases.
The film was delayed. however.
and after waiting for half an hour,
messengers were sent hurriedly to
local film company for a substi-
tite. The only available film
proved to be a comedy known as
Ragtime Romance" but members
{ declared it satisfactory.
Oils Skinner, now at the Bran
ieis theater, dropped in while the
dinner was in progress, and made a
few informal remarks. Singing led

events which included boxing, wrest-
ling and shadow wrestling were held
after the dinner. Flying Reyo,"
known as the champion shadow
wrestler of the world, drew much
applause.

Omaha Mayor Sends Word to
Conference Somebody in
Washington Is "Stand-
ing on His Foot"

Washington, March 4.-Criticism
of congress for not passing appro-
priation and other measures and of
government departments for what
was termed failure to cooperate to
the fullest in providing employment
and in releasing raw materials, de-
veloped today at the White House
conference of governors and mayors
called to consider labor and bust
ness problems.
Mayor Rolph of San Francisco,
who led the discussion, declared
congress had failed to pass great
appropriation measures at a time
when the country was looking to
the federal government to set an
example of states and municipalities
in handling of business.
Mayor Clark Burdick of Newport,
r. l., charged that government
plants in his city had refused to
re-empioy men who left the plants to
go to war, some of whom had re-
turned bearing wound stripes.
Mayor Peters of Boston said bust
ness there would be assisted greatly
if the government would come to
some determination of policy as to
raw materials, such as wool, and
leather, which were controlled dur
ing the war.
Word From Omaha Mayor.
The mayor Of Omaha sent word
to the conference that somebody in
Washington was Standing on his
foot" the city being unable to pro-
coed with 100000 worth of paving
because the railroads could nof>ob-
tain permission from the railroad
administration to spend money for
their share.
Mayor Rolph frequently was in
terrupted by applause during the
discussion of conditions.
THE country and the cities are
all right; whatever trouble exists
centers right here" the San
Francisco mayor declared. why
did filibuster defeat the great ap-
Precipitation measure Why
shouldn't congress be reconvened
to take up problems faced by all the
states9 Why are governments Of
ficials resigiting?
Everybody Flown the Coop.
"These are some of the questions
l want to ask, but there is nobody
here to answer them. Congress has
adjourned, the president has gone to
Paris and the vice president to
Phoenix, Ariz. Everybody has
flown the coop except the mayors"

Baker said today. No immediate

James Allen, Killed in Auto
Accident, Arrested as
Liquor Runner;
Shank Dying.

.e ]. C. Shank of Council Bluffs. who
was severely injured in an automo-

Broadway Monday night, which re-
suited in the instant death of three
persons, is dying at Mercy hospital,
Council Bluffs. Attending physi-

The bodies of Edgar A. Hatchins
and James Allen, killed, are in the
Cutler morgue. The body of Mrs.
Fannie Opal Brock is at Kings un-
dertaking rooms.
Coroner Cutler will hold an m
quest in Council Bluffs during the
week. No arrangements have been
made for the funerals.
Mrs. Fannie Brock lived on the
second floor of a frame building.

dren, two boys, aged 8 and 7. and a
daughter IS years old. She was 81

Edward Hutchins, 2445 Avenue D,
was 80 years old. He is survived
by his wife and one son. He was
a switchman employed by the ILL
ncis Central railroad company. He
was a member of the Brotherhood
OF Railway Trainmen and in good
standing both in the order and with
the company.
Allen Arrested Month Ago.
Neither the police nor the coroner
has been ableNto locate the home of
Jim Allen. and there is doubt that his
real name is Allen January 2, in
company with a companion, Fred
Riley. he drove big car into town
and stopped at the Maryland lunch
room for dinner. Police Officer
Bascom, off duty and in plain
clothes, happened to be in the lunch
room and Allen took a fancy to
him and at the conclusion of the
lunch invited him out to take drink
with the chance OF buying bottle of
booze.
Both Of the strangers had been
drinking and the officer went with
them to the car and saw the big
load of booze. more than 400 pints.
Allen Fights Officer.
He stepped on the running board
and told Allen to drive to the po-
lice station. The car started in the
direction of the station. two blocks
away, but by the time Bryant street
was reached a speed of 40 miles an
hour hadNbeen attained. The Off
Ger pulled his gun but the drunken
men paid no heed, defying him to
shoot.
j The officer fired several shots at
the radiator and tires but did not
succeed in stopping the car until he
reached over and turned the spark
switch. The men then tried to
throw him from the footboard.
Both men pleaded guilty in district
court and drew $500 fines, which
they paid. after advancing $1,000
cash for district court and federal
court bonds.
The identity of neither Of the
men has ever been clearly estab-
. lished, although it was known that
they long had been in the booze
running business.
