Woman Charged With the
Murder Of Her Husband
Is Arraigned in the
Circuit Court.
"OH NO; I'm NOT GUILTY!
She Tells the Court and Trial Of the
Case is Laid Over Until Later in the
Grabowich Case is Taken
Up BY the Jury.


Anna Auster, charged with the
malicious murder Of her husband Harry
Auster pleaded "Not Guilty" to the
charge in the Circuit Court this morn
ing when she appeared for the first
time for arraignment in connection
with the death of her husband. After
her plea had been entered she left the
court room alone as arrangements had
already been made that the $4,000 bond
provided for her should be continued
indefinitely until such a time as she
should be brought to trial in the court.
The hearing Of Mrs. -Auster was
short and devoid Of sensational fea-
lures. Judge Belden had been listening
to testimony in a divorce case and on
the conclusion of this hearing the
Judge called Estate vs.. Austen. Mrs.
Auster had been waiting for some time
and she appeared before the bench at
tended by her Attorney Robert Verne
Baker The information charging her
with murder was read by the District
Attorney.
"You understand what this means"
Judge Belden asked Mrs. Auster. She
flushed up little and answered Yes
l understand. 'FAre you guilty or
not guilty., the court asked her.
Mrs. Auster had a little smile, playing
about her lips as she answered 30 no,
am not guilty.. This ended the
hearing and the Court called the next
case.
It is not expected that the trial Of
Mrs. Auster will be taken up by the
jury until some time in April and it
may be even later as it is understood
that it is going to take some time to
get the dispositions which the defense
insist must be laid before the court.
Try Man on Assault Charge.
Following the arraignment of Mrs.
Auster Eggie Grabowich was arraigned
on charge of criminally assaulting
Mesina Hoffman on the evening Of
January 10th last, He entered a plea
Of "not guilty" and a jury was called
to hear the evidence Of the case. The
defense claims that Grabowich has been
made the victim of a mistaken identity
The time of the court for this af-
ternoon and tomorrow will probably
be taken up in the hearing of the case

LOCAL TEACHERS
GET SALARY RAISE
Board of Education Seeks
To Meet Increased Cost of
Living By Increases To
All Teachers.
MANY TEACHERS RE- ELECTED
Board Lays Over Consideration of Elec-
ton of superintendent and Principal
Of the High School Until Week
From This Evening.

The Board Of Education met crying
demand among the teachers of Keno
sha school for better wages on Tues
day night when by an almost unanimous
vote of the Board, ana on the recon-
mendation of the joint report of the
High school and the general teachers
committee, the members of the Board
decided on a general increase in the
salaries of the teachers of the city. It
was stated that the changes made by
several resolutions provided practical
~, for a uniform increase of fifty dol
lars year to each of the teachers in
the city. The action of the Board fixed
this increase for the coming year only
with the understanding that the city
could go back to it's regular schedule
If it saw fit after the present year.
On the Recommendation of the superin-
tendent the Board fixed the maximum
and minimum salaries for teachers be-
ginning work in the schools at $1,000
and $4,000. This represented ar increase
of five dollars on each scale.
Practically all of the teachers of the
city were reelected for the new year,
but the question of the election Of a
superintendent of schools, principal of
the High school, and one or two Of the
special teachers was left over until a
special meeting of the Board to be held
week from this evening.
On the recommendation of the super
intendent the Board took steps to pro-
vide further facilities for children in
the Balm and Frank school districts.
These included the renting Of store
in the Gaastra building on Grand
avenue and it will be used for one of
the special classes from the Balm school
thus opening another room for general
work. Two IF The corridors at the
Frank school will be concerted into
class rooms and this will make possible
the opening of two new rooms for the
first and second grade pupils in that
district. 1t was also arranged to move
the domestic science classes from the
basement of the Frank school to the
first floor.
A number Of teachers were named for
immediate work in the school, the list
including Mrs. Ruby Tillotson Lease,
Miss Florence O'Donnell, Vera Arnot,
Gladys Vinegar, Cora Hooper and Ger
trude Senne. Evert P. Beck and Guy
$. Clark were elected as members of
the manual training staff.
After the work Of selecting teachers
was concluded, the Board caves its time
to the consideration Of plans for the
new Washington school
The following is the list of teachers
elected TO- the new year:

For Cheaper Bread.
Leslie's.

Leslie ).
With estimates pointing to the big
gest wheat crop the country has ever
had, one-third practically Of the
worlds crop, there should be no ques-
ton about cheaper wheat and bread
next year. We shall be able to feed
ourselves and the world and still
have a surplus, but it is question
whether the consumer will reap any
benefits from over-production. Farm
ers have had taste of government
price-fixing and they like it. There
can be no doubt they will ask the
government to fix a high price for
wheat, and if this is conceded, high
prices will be demanded for every
thing else produced on the farm
from corn to cotton. When an alb
normal price is fixed for basic COM
modify, like wheat, it is an excuse for
inflated prices on everything. Peo-
pie are getting tired of this sort of
paternalism. Let the government
take it's hands off. Let the law Of
supply and demand be operative
once more. Sooner or later this has
got to be. Somebody may lose money
in the process of readjustment, but
as it is, everybody is groaning under
the excessive cost of practically
everything that goes on the table.
The public wants to know how soon
it is going to be able to buy flour for
what it is really worth and bread at
it's price before the war.
