MALICIOUS LIE
CAN BE NAILED
Someone Had Started Story 20 lnjure
Red creSs Roll Call and Prose
cution OF the Gossiper
is Imminent

A bit OF malicious gossip that Is
really too trivial to be given thought
by intelligent people, has been given
circulation within the last day or SO,
with the evident intention of hurt
ing the Red Cross roll call.
The story is that the Red Cross
has hired a lawyer to defend John
Mccormick under Indictment for
murder Of Cora Mae Carel.
The facts are that Judge Hamilton
sitting on the bench OF the district
court OF Lee county when Mccormick
was arraigned named an attorney, as
is the province of the court, to de-
fend Mccormick. The attorney
named is John NJ Rankin.
The Red Cross is the relief organi.
zation of the United States govern
ment, and the government has dur
ing the war, and continues to have
the power to prosecute peddlers Of
malicious lies and SANDER against
the Red Cross or any of it's agents.
It is possible that such piece OF
gossip as this may be run down to
its source and prosecutions started.
This Is not the first time that in
stances OF this sort have come up,
and while the occurrences may have
been passed over 30 far as the pub
lie Is concerned, the people who have
been concerned in the SANDER have
been called"

STUDENTS RAISE
ENDOWMENT
Memorial Professorship in Chemistry
Will Be Established There in
Homo. Of Professor
Griffith.

GALESBURG, ILL.,, Nov. 13.-Knox
college students have just succeeded
in doing their share in the campaign
for a larger endowment by pledging
over 900 for memorial profess
sorship Of chemistry. This was the
first step toward the three-quarters
of millir~ mark, the total amount
to be raised. The purpose Of this
drive is to increase the present en-
dowment so that the salaries Of the
professors and instructors may be
raised.
The Herbert E. Griffith memorial
professorship of chemistry is estab-
lished in honor Of Professor Griffith,
who was for nearly quarter OF a
century head of the chemistry de-
partment Of Knox His death, which
occurred last summer after an acct
dent, deprived Knox Of ono of her
most faithful men. In addition to his
teaching work, he was registrar OF
the college, and on several important
faculty committees. The immediate
success Of the campaign and the en-
thusiasm exhibited showed the es-
TEEN and respect with which the stu
dents regarded Professor Griffith. He
had represented Knox for Some time
in the Illinois State Federation OF
Colleges and was president OF that
organization for one year. He was
also a member o. the Illinois State
Teachers association.

In Control Of Baseball Affairs for Next
Seven Years at Salary of $42r
500 Per Year.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Federal Judge
X. M. Landis,' today began his work
as the "big umpire" of organized base
ball.
Sixteen owners of major league
base clubs. after scrapping the twelve

terms of peace, unanimously offered
Judge Lands the control of baseball

salary of $4,000. Judge Lands will
not resign from the bench.
The appointment of Judge Lands
and the declaration of peace followed
four-hour joint session of financial
intrests of the major leagues. Attor-
neys, league officials and others were
excluded from the meeting. The ac-
ton ends baseball war declared last
Monday.
Minor leaguers have been requested
to join with the majors under the Lam
pointed by the joint session to confer
minor leagues to affect a new national
agreement. Sessions of these COM
mittees probably will begin shortly.
Judge LanOlS IN accepting Inc new
position, said he was ready to start
work Immediately.
Headquarters Of the supreme court
in baseball will be established In Chi
cago.
The question of voting. which was
one cause of the breach in the major
leagues, was settled by compromise.
The club owners agreed the vote
should be by individuals, and If di-
vision then occ1rred. each league
would cast single vote. In event
of tie. it was decided Judge Lands
would make the final decision.
Presidents of the two leagues were
selected as pleadors in all inter-league
matters coming before the baseball
court and the courts decision, it was
agreed will be renewable.

ton of Lawrence Thiede of man
slaughter by jury late last night, in
connection with the death of julius
Knoll, of Prosser, Nebraska, on Octob-

Conviction was gained largely upon

Rodgers and Alice Johnson admitted
by them to be fictitious names. Both
were members of the drinking party,

SAN FRANCISCO.-From the --ild
north comes the call for the sons OF
the old wild west.
And with his swagger and trap
pings ne man of the ranges is pre-
pairing to answer the call. From
Montana, California, Oregon, Ne
vada and the Dakotas cowboys are
getting ready to leave the drive and
picturesque roundup to ride herd
on the last frontiers Of civilization
the sub-Arctic barrens of Alaska.
Instead of Texas long-horns they
will punch" the pronghorns of
the Behring, the Alaskan reindeer.
In place Of f1aring chaps and Tapping
sombreros they will wear heavy
boots, three pairs of sox, parkas and
heavy fur caps. They will ride be-
hind swift Eskimo dogs or hike it
on Snow-shoeS.
The call for experienced seasoned
frontiersmen is insistent, for the
reindeer industry of the north is
pretty closely following the histori-
cal development of the old western
range.
The eighty scrubby, half-starved
reindeer, imported into Alaska from
Siberia in 1902 by the government
as an experiment in food supply for
the natives. have grown to nearly
100000 head at present, valued ap-
proximately $40 each. 1t is expect
ed that within fifteen years the herd
will number between ten and TWEEN
ty-five millions, the grazing capacity
of Alaska.
Already the industry is being con-
sidered as serious competition for

States Last year only LOO car

VIII Hold Conference
To Fight Corn Borer

A conference between representa-
ttves of the United States depars-
ment of agriculture and Canadian Of
fees was hell at Guelph, Ontario,
November 1 and 18, 20 consider bet
ter methods of control of the Euro
pean corn borer, which, according to
latest surveys, has infested a ter
ritory of about $500 square miles.
One infested territory extends for
about "a miles west of the Niagara
river, along the north shore of Lake
Erie and about 10 miles inland; the
other, farther west, is an irregular
tract SO by rs miles in it's largest
dimensions. 1t is now definitely be-
lieved that the pest was imported
with European broom corn brought
to a large factory in st. Thomas
about 1909 or 1910. 1t is only re-
Gently that has spread to sufficient
extent to attract general alarm. 1t
is expected that the matter will be
taken before the Dominion Parlia-
ment this winter. The department
and New York state. representatives
also held a conference in Buffalo,
November 10, where a program re.
garding the conduct of the corn
borer quarantine of certain towns in
western New York was agreed upon.
This program will be announced To-
cally, and Will assist farmers Q" the
infested regions to plan their 1921
crop so as to avoid loss.
