In 1915 four-year high school cOtrs-
es were introduced at Cretin. Since
then an even greater impetus has been
given the enrolment. So great, in fact,
has been the number of students APP
plying that 1t has been found neces-
sary to discontinue the seventh and
eighth grade classes and confine the
energies of the school to secondary
work. For this term 425 eighth grade
graduates have been registered, while
many others have been denied adj
mission because of the limited accom-
modations of the present building.
The Brothers look forward with no
little satisfaction to the celebration in
1921 of the golden jubilee of their

reaching far above the fondest hopes
of Cretin's well-wishers. During
Brother Ambrose's dictatorship, from
1900 to 1907, the high school depart
ment reached it's highest attendance
mark for the period of twenty-five
years during which the school was an
integral part of the Cathedral parish.
With the passing of Cretin under
diocean control the lower grades
were discontinued, the younger boys
being transferred to the new Cattle
dral school, conducted by the Sisters
of st. Joseph. However, in obedience
to the behest of the late Archbishop,
seventh and eighth grade classes were
continued at Cretin.

Washington, D. c., May S.-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The shortage and high price
of sugar will continue for another
year at least, according to most of
the experts appearing before the
house committee investigating the
situation.
Until normal world production of
sugar is restored and increased to
meet the increased demand there is
no hope of reducing the price or
averting periodical sugar "famines."
May Ration Candy Makers.
Neither the Department of Justice
nor the house committee has been
able to discover a corner in sugar,
though it has been established that
there has been considerable specula-
ton and prohteering. 1t is now pro-
posed to check rising prices by
eliminating resales through agree
ments on the part of the reiners.
AS last resort, ratlonlng OF the
candy and syrup manufacturers may
be attempted in order to divert sugar
from commercial to domestic uses
The worlds requirements for
sugar for the year lol9-lo20 has been
estimated at 24.030,l40 tons, whereas
the actual yield in the last crop has
been figured at approximately 49,
100000 tons. Germany's output of
beet sugar, previously the largest in
the world. dropped during the war
from 9,645,125 tons to 3,979,30 and
it has been impossible to determine
what the Russian yield this year will
be. While there has been an in
crease in the output of cane sugar of
about 1,650,000 tons during the war,

Nebraska Professor
Makes Gift Of Book
To Maryland Town

Frederick, a little town in Mary
land noted for its historic interest
since the Revolutionary days, has
been presented with a volume of
memoirs of Roger Brooke Taney,
the noted jurist.
The gift was that of Neal D.
Reardon, attorney and professor of
law at Creighton university. The
volume will be given to the Free Ii
brary association in Frederick.
The book written by Samuel Ty-
Ter contains Taney's autobiography.
1t elaborates on Taney's early life
as lawyer and chief justice of the
United States supreme court. 1t
also tells of Taney's days in Fred
erick and later in Baltimore.
Mr.. Taney was known for his
handling of the famous bred Scott"
case. He was born in March. l777,
in Calvert county. He lived in Fred
erick for q years.
The Frederick library had no copy
of Tyler's memoirs and very little
on the life of Frederick's most dis
tinguished citizen. Professor Rear
don's contribution is timely and no
doubt will be great appreciated.

.CHARCE. HEAD OF
HARVARD SCHOOL
SHOT HIS RIVAL
Jealousy Over Attentions OF
Pretty School Teacher
Alleged to Have
Prompted Assault.

Harvard, Neb., May 8.-(Special.)
Jealous of the attentions shown
Russell Aker, prominent young
farmer living west of this city, by
Miss Edna Korgan, pretty 20-year-
old public school teacher here, is
alleged to have resulted in Herbert
S. Harris, superintendent of the
Harvard schools, slightly woundirg
Aker when he fired two shots from
revolver at him Friday night.
Miss Korgan, it is alleged, has re-
peatedly scorned the efforts of Su-
perintendent Harris to accompany
her to social festivities and favored
Aker. This is alleged to have en-
ragged Harris and caused him to lie
in wait for the more successful rival
at Miss Korgan's home while the
couple was attending party.
Went to Ded.
Residents in the house where Har-
ris had rooms say he retired at 10
o'clock on the night of the shooting
and his actions from that time can
not be traced. Harris is a single
man.
According to Aker, after the party
he took Miss Korgan to her home,
where he left his mic}line while he
accompanied her to the house. He
says he then passed through Har-
ward en- route to his home west of
the city and when about a half mile
from town reached in the rear seat
to get robe. He says he noticed
a man lying there and on speaking
to him recognized him as Harris.
Grapples With Assailant.
Aker says Harris demanded that
he drive to Hastings. the home of
Harris father and sister. and that
when he refused, saying that he w1s
en- route home, Harris became vio-
lently angry and drew a revolver
from his pocket to enforce his de-
mands. He says Harris fired one
shot that struck him in the neck and
on the second attempt the gun failed
to fire.
The young farmer says he then at
tempted to grapple with the school
teacher, who fired a third time, the
bullet lodging in his shoulder, He
says he succeeded in disarming Har-
ris. who escaped. Aker returned to
town and had his injuries attended.
Mr.. Aker and Miss Korgan are
both prominent members of the
younger set society here and are
highly respected. Citizens of Har-
ward are greatly incensed over the
shooting. Mr.. Harris comes from a
prominent Hastings family and was
a candidate for county superintend-
ent in that county in 1914.
Harris says he cannot remember
Of the happenings of the night and
it is believed that he walked from
Harvard to Hastings.

Motorcycle Policeman George
Swan was ordered held to district
court for the manslaughter of Miss
Anna Jensen, Omaha school teacher.
by a verdict returned by coroner's
jury at an inquest held yesterday
afternoon at Swanson's undertaking
parlors.
Miss Jensen was instantly killed
at $50 Friday afternoon when she
was struck by a motorcycle driven
by Swan. She was alighting from
the front vestibule of street car at
Thirteenth and Canton streets when
the accident occurred.
Seven witnesses to the accident
refuted in sworn testimony state
ment made by Officer Swan at St.
Joseph hospital that he was chas-
ing speeder."
Swan is still in the hospital, suffer
ing from fractured skull.
Speeding Is Condemned.
Coupled with the verdict against
Swan, the coroner's jury gave a de-
cision against reckless driving and
unnecessary speeding Of motorcycle
officers after petty offenders"
The verdict reads:
I'VE, the jury, find that the de-
ceased came to her death from in
juries caused by collision with
motorcycle driven by Officer George
Swan; that the collision occurred at
$50 p. m. on May 7, 1920, near Thir-
teenth and Canton streets, in Oma-
ha Douglas county, Nebraska.
I'VE find from evidence that Or
fcer Swan was driving at an unusual
and unnecessary high rate of speed;
that there was no emergency which
justified his speed, and that his con-
duct amounted to unexcusabfe reck-
lessness.
Lives In Jeopardy.

citizens should not be put in
jeopardy by speeding motorcycle
officers, even though the speed is
made necessary to apprehend petty
