MISS KING SITS TIGHT
4 Secretary State Board, Fired by Miss
Wooster, CImgs to Position.

Miss Julia P. King, secretary of the
state board of education, continues to
sit at the desk set aside for the sec
rotary in the office of Miss Elizabeth
Wooster, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction.
What else she is doing besides sit
ting there, other employees in the Of
| flee are unable to ascertain. They
believed she was fired" and her
duties would cease July 1.
Evidently Miss King labored under
! a much different impression. She con-
/ tinues to occupy the desk of the sec
rotary.
I'm still on the job and that's all
| L~care to say at this time" Miss King
said today.
Meantime, Miss Elizabeth Wooster,
who requested Miss Kings resignation
and appealed to the state board of
| educe ton to sanction her refusal to
keep Miss King on the states payroll,
| is at Salt Lake City attending the
annual meeting of the National Edu-
cation association. She will be absent
for at least two weeks, it was an
nounced at the superintendent office
today.
Miss King doesn't even open the
mail any more. That is being done by
another employe OF the office.
Since July 1, when it was erroneous
ly believed her absence would be
noted, she has signed certificates for
number of state teachers. These
certificates require the signature of
Miss Wooster. Whether Miss Wooster
will sign the certificates siged by a
secretary who she declared would no
longer hold office after July l, is an
unanswered question. Whether the
teachers depending upon the alarcity
! of the state superintendent office in
preparing them for q years employ
ment will get their jobs without the
certificates is another unanswered
| question.
Before leaving for Salt Lake City.
Miss Wooster stated thatNthe board of
education had told her . do as she
pleased in retaining or discharging
Miss King. who Miss Wooster claims
failed to cooperate with her. Miss
Wooster stated then that her pleasure
y-as to discharge Miss King.
But Miss King is still at her desk

WICHITA BACKS UP
Is Trying to Take Legion Head
quarters From Topeka.
Violation Good Faith Charged
by Local Members.

The old wartime fight character
lied the meeting of Capital Post No.
1. American Legion. held last night
at the post hall. 40 West Sixth ave-
nue., for the purpose OF electing dele
gates to send to the First District con-
vention to be held at Atchison July 10.
The meeting was an open discussion.
The convention is being held at Atcfi-
son for the purpose of getting Legion
posts of the First district to hang to-
gether in an effort to retain the Kan
sas headquarters in Topeka at the
state convention of the Legion at Pitts
burg, August 2s, "a, rs. Some old his
tory entered into the discussion.
Wichita is making frantic efforts to
get the headquarters in that city, and
is attempting this. so the Legion men
say, in violation of u clause in the
constitution providing that the head
quarters were to remain permanently
in Topeka.
At the state convention held last
September in Wichita, the First dis
| trict stood by Wichita and helped elect
| their man state commander. In re-
turn for this favor, the Wichita men
agreed to help Topeka get state head
quarters, which they did; and a clause
was incorporated in the constitution.
| providing for permanent location of
| the headquarters in Topeka. Now, the
Topeka men say, Wichita is trying to
| to locate the headquarters there.
At the meeting last night. the Le-
gionnaires were divided on the propo-
sition of combining forces al the At
Gibson convention, for the purpose of
keeping the headquarters in Topeka,
and finally the delegates were in
structed to vote as became their own
belief for the interest of the Legion
in the state. The feeling ran soNhigh
| that it's influence will dominate the
election of state officers at the first
Injecting in August.
Topeka has thirteen delegates and
eleven alternates who will go to
Atchison. They are: Ralph I.
O'Neil, Thomas A. Lee, Earl A Cum
mings, Glenn Logan, r. d. McGiffert,
w. P. MacLean, C. I. Martin. j H.
Bergen, Howard Searle, Joe Nickel,

Basins for Topeka.

Eighteen million gallon settling
basins with an aggregate cost Of s219,-
$50, have been recommended to the
civic water commission by William
Archer, Santa Fe water engineer.

that the present improvements now
being made are not satisfactory.
He made this recommendation only
after an extensive survey of city con-
ditions and his report is made entire
ly irrelative of other consulting engi-
neers. He also recommends that if
his suggestion be adopted. that the
city board of health be consulted to
ascertain If the chemists would en-
dorse the system.

GRAND LODGE WON TIE CASE.

Danvillc, Va, Dec. 13.--hn interest
ing case was staged in the Court here
yesterday, when Attorney c. Car
ter pressed the suit of Otis Douglass
heirs against the Grand Lodge, X. of
p. Of Virginia for the proceeds OF n
$4,000 policy. The defense was re
presented by Attorney Harry Wood
ing. The widow was not in court
but she was represented by Undcrtak
err Brooks, who evidently wanted the
amount to defray the burial cXpcns
cS. The deceased at the time of his
death was i'll arrears in taxes, dues
and assessments to the amount of
S4.SG. $500 unbcncfits the member
in the subordinate lodge and in all
other departments of the Order.
The books and the testimony Of a
former officer OF the lodge showed
that this was tho amount due. Dis
trict Deputy Grand Chancellor tcsti
fled on the stand that he had seen
the financial book OF the deceased
and It showed that he owed so cents
more than the lodge showed that he
owed. The defense practically pro-
duccd no witnesses, only the undertake
OF testifying. The policy OIL its face
, showed that the failure to pay Is
cents made the policy null and void.
On motion of the dcfenSe's counsel,
the case was taken from the jury and
submitted to Judge Brown, the very
able jurist who presided and he dc
cidcd in faovr Of the Grand Lodge, X.
Of p. Of Virginia.
Grand Chancellor John Mitchell
Jr, was present and testified as to
the law Of the Order. He was the
guest OF Mr.. and Mrs. Rison during
his stay here, leaving last night for
Richmond. Another feature Of the
case was the fact that the Bureau of
Insurance had previously decided the
; case in favor OF Golden Link Lodge
and the Grand Lodge of Virginia, al
though this fact was not brought out
in the trial.
