Jordan has made a good record in

of the top heavy, unruly body and has
handled the work in a way that has
kept the machinery running smoothly

sons with business before the house.

years ago, he was reelected this
winter without opposition. 1t is prob
able that he can be reelected to a
third or fourth term if he wants the
place.
But now it looks as tho congress
may provide place for the Rice
county man. He has been urged as a
candidate for assistant sergeant at
arms in the lower legislative body in
the national capitol. If he wins the
eleetion-and every member of the
legislature is pulling for him to win

litical affairs He is known by every

WARk BACKS UP ALLEN
No Doubt That Thirty-Fifth Was Bad
~ Managed, Says Chaplain.

A statement from H. E. Wark,
chaplain of the 18TH Infantry of the
ThirtX-fifth Division. backs up the
criticism of Governor Allen on the
management of the division.
Chaplain Wark, who is a cousin of
George B. Wark of Caney, now serv-
ing as a captain in France, stopped
off in Topeka a few days on his way
to visit his father in Carbonate.
ct talked to hundreds of officers
and men from the Thirty-fifth Divi-
sion," he said, "and they were unani-
nous in the opinion that the thing
had been badly managed"
Before entering the service. Chap
lain Wark was pastor of the First
Methodist church Of Winfield. Speak
ing about the personnel of the boys in
the Thirty fifth Division. he had this
to say: II received a new course in
theology, and a wonderful opportun-
ity for an enlargement in my khowi-
edge of man nature. 1 saw the men
close up, as they were. I caw the
seamy side of their lives. But 1 can
say for the great mass of them. tina;
they showed superb physical, mental
and moral qualities"

Lawrence, Feb. 26.-That the au-
thorities of the university do not ap-
prove of the plan for moving the uni
versity school of medicine from Rose
dale to Kansas City, Kan, was the
statement made here today by Chan

Kansas City. offering a site for the
school in the bigger city.
THE school of medicine is well To-
Gated at Rosedale," said Chancellor
Strong. at is in one of the best
clinical centers of the middle west.
L can see no really good reason to
move it, and I can see some harm
it might occasion. However, it is a
matter for the state board of admins
tration and the legislature to decide,
but 1 cannot believe that the plan
will get much sympathy in those
quarters

CRITICISES AMERICANS
Attacks by Papers Apparently To In
cite the Russians.

Vladivostok. Feb. II (delayed).-
Attacks by certain newspapers on the
attitude of the American troops in
eastern Siberia with the evident pur-
pose of attempting to arouse Russian
sentiment against the Americans and
to create discord between the Ameri-
cans and the Japanese have been an
swered by Col. Henry D. Steyer of the
American army. The attacks were
based on the fact that the Americans
had given protection at Khabarovsk to
1,500 Cossacks who had mutinied
against General kalmikoff, their
commander.
An alleged wireless dispatch from
Funada SSH (near Tokio), reproduced
in the Vestnik, says that only the
presence of the japanese troops at
Khabarovsk prevented part of the
American troops from joining the mu-
tineers. The Dalny Vostok, the organ
of General Kalmikeff, declares that
the mutiny was arranged in territory
under American control and that
American soldiers took part in the
plans. 1t refers to the general attitude
of the Americans toward the Russians
as once of arrogance and cOndeScenSiOn.
