Chicago, Feb. 2S.-A 6-year-old
negro girl was killed and several other
negroes injured when a bomb was
exploded in a hallway of an apart

negroes here early today.
The theory advanced by police is
that race prejudice was responsible.
White families live on each side of
the building damaged.

and school teachers in Topeka asking
if the results in health supervision
during the last month have not proved
the value of this form of supervision
sufficiently to warrant it's continue
ton as a permanent. factor of the
health department of the city.
ITO properly supervise the school
children of Topeka would require at
least six or seven nurses and an eX-
penditure of at least. $500"
For the month of February Topeka
schools have had the advantage of
having ten or twelve public health
nurses doing inspection work to guard
against the spread of influenza in the
schools. The service was secured at
no expense to the city. as the nurses
were in Topeka attending the school
of public health administration being
conducted by the Kansas Tuberculosis
association. As a part of the course.
in order to get some practical expert
ence. they were given the task of do
ing the health inspection work in the
city schools. They were especially
welcome because of the influenza
situation. The disease had started to
invade the schools to a greater extent
than ever before.
Nurses to Quit Monday.
Under the course, it will be impos-
sible for the nurses to continue their
work in the Topeka schools into the
month of March. Monday Topeka
will revert to the old system of
one school nurse to look after 5000
children.
During the month of February the
nurses in the Topeka schools did very
effective work in checking the threat
ened spread of influenza in the schools.
They enabled the schools to continue
in session besides probably saving a
number of lives. says DR.. H. L. Clark,
CITY health officer.
1t is the hope of the local health
authorities that Topeka will soon have
a large enough staff of school nurses
to properly look after the city's 5000
school children.
Il have no idea where I could get
the money to conduct this work with,
says w. L. Porter. but with the strong
backing of the principals and teach
ers. and the many friends that school
supervision has over the city, l feel
sure that we could get it somewhere"
The question of school health super
vision has become an eminent national
problem. Topeka has witnessed the
value of the school nursing system
during the last month, says Porter,
and must meet the question sometime.

STUDENT PASTORS HERE
Episcopal Gathering from Over State
in Topeka.

The diocesan committee of the stu
dent pastors of the Protestant Episco-
pal church in Kansas, met at Grace
Cathedral Guild Hall, Thursday after
noon and evening Four Kansas stu
dent centers were represented, Law
renee, Manhattan, Pittsburg and EN-
poria.
The delegates from these centers
were DR.. Charles Spicer, of the medi-
cal department. of the Kansas uni
versity, Lawrence; Rev. Richard Cox,
st. PauPs church, Manhattan; Rev.
Joseph H. Harvey; st. Peters church
Rittsburg, and Rev. Carl w. Nau. St
Andrews church, Emporia. Bishop
James Wise met with the commission.
The object and work of the student
pastors commission is to exercise a
guiding influence in the social and re-
ligious life of the young people attend
ing school in the large educational
institutions of Kansas. Special atten-
ton is paid to those students who are
not residents of the towns at which
they are obtaining their education.
The duty of the pastor at each educa-
tional center is to seek out students
not affiliated with any religious or
ganization and endeavor to attach
such to the local parish with its up
lifting tendencies and clean social
life.
Encouraging progress was reported
in the work during the past year. The
commission is planning a program to
be carried out at the Diocesan con-
vention of the Episcopal church which
will be held in Topeka next May.

CARPENTER GETS
 A GREAT OVATION
French Heavyweight Is Greeted
 Warmly on Return to Paris

Paris Dec. 9.-Georges Carpenter, who retained the championship of Europe against Joe Beckett at Lon don returned to Paris last evening.
 q have signed nothing. l am wait ing for offers 1 want a little time to think it over,' he said.
 Seldom has d conQucring hero re- turning from victorious campaign received such a welcome as did Car pentier Fully 15,0OO persons were crowded into the North Station, cheer ing and singing "The Marseillaise.'
 Paris last autumn cheered and showed wonderful enthusiasm on the visits of royalty, but never with such spontaneity as in greeting the fighting champion. Carpenter was Seized by the crowd when he alighted from the train and separated from Deschamps his manager and temporarily lost in the mad throng. His right arm was slightly hurt.
 "Nothing serious,' he informed the anxious correspondents, "but a boil from which I suffered during my training reopened.'
 The French promoters are pleased that Carpenter has not signed an agreement of any kind with c. E. Cochrane, the British promoter. M Decoin, manager of the Wonderland Sporting club of Paris, who on Satur- day sent a cablegram to Jack Kearns offering to deposit whatever amount Jack Dempsey would ask for a twenty round fight with Carpenter on July IA informed the Associated Press that he will deposit 100000 francs with the Equitable Trust at Paris to guarantee Dempsey's end, although the American champion has not yet replied to his message stating his terms.
 Carpenter spoke highly of the sportmanship of the British public, but added that he was sure Americans would be equally fair. Nevertheless, he preferred to meet Dempsey in France.
 "I am glad Dempsey does not ob- ject to coming to France" he said. "A great show can be staged here." / Asked what he thought of his chances with Dempsey, Carpenter re- piled: "I understand Dempsey is sl great fighter

YALE-CORNELL GAME
 IS 1920 POSSIBILITY
Unofficial Football Schedule at New Haven Has Contest Carded for
 October g.

New Haven, Dec. 9.-Football gos- sip in New Haven last night centered itself about an unofficial 1920 schedule which leaked out yesterday afternoon. The most amazing feature of the chart is that it calls for a game against Cornell, and that the proposed Ithaca contest is the second date of the sea- son-presumably October 9, since the schedule calls for eight games.
 This list, coming out with absolutely no authority, has not met with enthusi- astiC acceptance, but many think that the majority of the dates are correct. Williams, Cornell, Boston college, Col gate, the Army, Brown, Princeton and Harvard are to be played in the order given, according to the rumors. The first three games furnish the only sur priSeS as it was known that the two others would be played if possible
 It has been said that Boston college did not want to play Yale next year because the Boston team realized that it's 1919 schedule had been too strenu- ous. On the other hand, attempts to drop this game probably met with ob- jections at this end, as Yale never has broken off with a team with an un- avenged defeat marring the Blue rec ord.
 The one serious defect Tn the Sched- ule as rumored is the Cornell date Yale men would like to see Cornell or the card but doubt the advisability oi playing a big game so early.
 If this schedule finally should be accepted it will be by far the hardest Yale ever has had. The return of the Army and Colgate would be very pop ular here. It is thought that the Arm5 will be played at West Point. Witf the exception of the Princeton contes all other games would take place ir the bowl.

Hold Secret Meeting.

Chicago, Dec. 9.--President Ban Johnson, of the American league. accompanied by five "loyal' club owners, departed last night for New York to accept the challenge of the three 'rebel' directors and attend the meeting called for Wednesday to settle the contest for the presidency of the league.
 The decision 10 attend the New York meeting was reached by the five 'loyal' club owners at a secret meet ing yesterday afternoon. After the session President Johnson an nounCed that the meeting called for Chicago on Wednesday, had been called off. This action was taken on the advice of counsel in the belief that the quickest way to straighten out the tangle was to compel the op- position to Hay it's cards on the table of it's own choosing."
 George w. Miller, counsel for President Johnson and his associates, said that the majority club owners did not, by their action, admit the right of the directors to call this meeting, but it was their desire to compel a showdown.

BRITISH FEAR FOR WILDE'S LAURELS
Tricky Yankee Managers" Will Rob Him Of Title, They Declare

London, Dec. 9.-There is anxiety Smong English boxing critics over the
 lprtunes of Jimmy Wilde while the
 British idol is in America. These aritics admit freely the fear that Wilde hay be made the victim of foxy Am |rican fight managers. The plan, ac- |ording to their suspicious, is to have Wilde beaten on a foul in q fight
 With some American bantam. The motive for such a base plan is
 sited, as these critics believe, in re-
 kiiation for the decision given Wilde En fights here with Pal Moore and
 soe Lynch. No doubt the report from
 Rhe Wilde Sharkey fight has in a way aonfirmed them in their suspicion. Apologists for Joe Beckett have 8ounded every possible note for a 1atisfying excuse on his showing, or sathcr failure to make such, against
 Earpentier. Among the long list are
 excuses to the effect that Beckett was l lxertrained, that he was taken by Elrpri32, that he was over eager in
 Rstack.
 However, Referee Angle has kaoc,.cd the bottom from all of these. # io says that it was obvious in the
 ( Inc incidents that Beckett was out

 Sand general knowledge of boxing, and SNi,at IS vastly moro important he
 \ 2v5ts probably outclassed in strength. Tii3 fit Of excuse making has Of seoursc produced certain Imaginable and
 bsurd phrases. For instance, some A3y that Deschamps, manager of Car S1entier, hypnotized Beckett with an Evil eye. Furthermore, it is said that
 his same phenomenon accounted pos Aiibly for the quick work which Car
 Ap Apentier made of Bombardier Wells Wells is willing to take another chance with the mystic spell cast by
 EDeschamps' beWitchinG optic and
 swants another fight with Carpenter,
 HThe Frenchman, however, isn't in
 Hclined to listen to Welsp proposals
 HHe will rest until he begins getting ready for the match with Dempsey. Tn addition to his advances toward
