The morning session Of district
court was occupied with the testi-
money OF the states witnesses In the
case of State OF Kansas vs.. Martin
Wait. charged with burglary and
grand larceny.
Wait is charged with having stol-
en- two watches from l.. A. Johnson.
a farmer In Willowdale township, on
Christmas eve. In searching for
the watches the authorities located
Wait. found him with one in his pos
session and the other In the posses
sion of Nick Poe who roomed with
Wait and was arrested with a man
named Sharp and convicted of gamb-
ling. Another watch, Identified ms
one stolen from man at the Ma
tiOnal hotel was found in the posses
sion of Sharp. Poe and Sharp held
in their testimony that they won the
watches from Wait in crap game.
The defendant went on the stand
this afternoon and refuted this testi-
mony. declaring that he knew moth
ing of Poe's having the watch until
the authorities showed il to him fol-
lowing his arrest. Wait declares that
he bought his watch from stranger
In Hancock's pool hall. who pawned
it to him for SO.
He testified that on the night the
watches were stolen he ana Zoe
started to drive to solomon to see
two women and got only as far as
Sand Springs when one of their tires
blew out and they turned back 70
Abilene. Wait refused to divulge
the name of the stranger from whom
he bought the watch or professed not
to know ii. He maintained MS IN
nocence throughout.
The county attorney confronted
the defendant with note he had
written to Poe when he was in jan
i'm which Wait had indicated that he
knew where Poe had obtained his
watch and added that Poe got the
watch he had from ''the same bird
from whom Wait had got his. The
defendant however continued to deny
that he had any knowledge Of tho
watch Poe had in his possession I'M
til after his arrest.
Not for more than a year has the
court room been so crowded as 1t was
at today,s trial Men, women an'
children filed the seats and many
were standing. Neighbors of the
johnson family from the country
men customarily in the pool haH
witnesses. others just curious gath
cred rapidly before court was calle'
to order. The case will probably
continue into tomorrow.
Martin Wait on trial for the theI
of three watches which he wal
charged with having stolen. was ac
quilted when the jury returned th'
verdict mot guilty" about o'clocl
Thursday afternoon. His defens'
was that he had paid stranger y
for the watch he had in his posses
sion and knew nothing of the other
which his companion, Nick Poe had
or Of where they came from.
Divorces were granted to the plain
tiffs in three cases. The case .

Suggests Remedy

In discussing the teacher shortage
before the county superintendents
section the following remedy was
proposed by r. G. Mueller, Seneca
county superintendent of Nemaha
county. who declared that "the short
age has produced a crisis IN the ed
ucational problem
"First, a much larger salary must
be paid than teachers are now receiv'
ing. as an inducement to attract
young people Of real ability to the
business Of teaching.
"second. the school term must be
increased in length 50 as to afforo
more continuous employment.
"Third. more and better equip
ment for the school and better work.
ing conditions. Must get away from
the box type Of school house
'.Fourth, Il stronger disposition to
ward re employment, so as to stab
lie the business. Most persons lool
upon teaching as a stepping stone q
some more desirable occupation.
"Fifth, better living conditions
Hard for the teachers to find suitable
boarding places The teachers ag'
must come as the next step in tn
line of progress.
