ed. George Harris, negro. chuckled
because he had put 1t over on the

Putting it over. Harris said. meant
living In Minneapolis for two years
while he was a fugitive from justice,
becoming friendly enough with po-
licemen to invite them to his front
porch for an occasional evening chat
and often working at the very doors
Of police headquarters.
Harris was serving thirty-fiv

he was not involved. when he escaped
two years ago. He explained he was
O trusty. and lust walked away"
coming direct to Minneapolis. He had
been confined three years at the time
Of his escape. TIE robbery, in which
a man was killed, took place at Des
Moines.
On coming to Minneapolis he OBJ
tanned employment as q coal driver,
delivering coal for the city and took
up residence at ga Lyndais avenue
North, where he was arrested. His
Job often took him to the court house
and he delivered coal to the building
every day for two weeks. Detectives
passed him frequently while he was
at work but none Of them recognized
him.
Those dicks just naturally over
looked these telltale scars" he said,
exhibiting two marks Of q knife
| across his chin and another which
branded his cheek.
Tho he was passed UP by detec-
tives, Harris said he never dared
| frequent any negro clubs or mingle
with others Of his race.

who he was. but TIL bet we want him
for something down in lows"
Mcguire afterwards learned that In.
vesttgation by the Des Moines police
revealed that q negro. carrying three
scars on his face, was fugitive from
the Iowa state prison. Then followed
two weeks OF work by Mcclure ant
Detective L. @. Glarum until ,Satur.

Cedar Falls, Sept. 2e.-President H.
H. Seerley, Of Iowa State Teachers
College. severely assails the Carnegie
Foundation educational survey of
Missouri as "a discredit to American
scholarship" and charges the Car
neeie Foundation organization with
disregarding the outstanding facts in
the case.
This report of over 500 octave
pages recently distributed by the
Carnegie Foundation for the adj
yancement Of teaching lis a discredit
to American scholarship" DR.. Seerley
said, AS 1t arraigns the public efforts
for training teachers for public
schools for the whole country and
decides questions on conjectures
rather than on facts.
The American public always re-
sents any overlordship or assumed
domination such as the Foundation
undertakes to reach In this report,
based on the tescher training efforts
Of the state OF Missouri. as the un-
prejudiced easily discerns that the
most important declarations OF this
report originated In the minds of the,
authors and were not obtained from
the facts alleged to be collected and
published.
1.-THE foundation overlooked the one
fact that the American state normal
schools are institutions founded by
the American common people and
are not the creations of experts OF
wealthy. 31dndations whose love for
the people and Tor the public schools
has been shown to be always mega
tive quantity. The effect of such un-
called for meddling in with matters
not in the province OF the foundation
will be that the states Of the union
will grant larger appropriations and
enlarge the services Of the state nor
NAL schools.
There ss no cause Tor fear when
these schools do what the American
people want done. The main de-
pendence Of these popular schools Ia
in serving the people so we'll that
there is no dissent as to their eff
ciency.n

near the latter part Of the week. The
state will endeavor to weave q strong
web of circumstantial evidence
about the Jailed Serbian, now on trial
for his life.

the inner lives Of three. persons. ! said
tol constitute the eternal triangle al
legged to be responsible for the dynn-
hitting Of Mike Baldizar from his
garage steps the morning Of Satur-
day. Aug. 81.
The connection OF Grba, the ex-'
soldier, with the BaldiZar household
will be shown. His attentions toward
Anna, wife of the murdered man.
md her reciprocity will be brought
into the limelight. The old world lust
equation when 1t stands in the way
of carnal attainment will be the
thesis Of the remarkable theory the
state is weaving about the past &C
tons of Grba.
The state will go far into the life
of Anna Baldizar. 1t will attempt to
show how Grba became enamored OF
her, as others have. and how. like
hundreds OF other masculine prede-
cessors of history. he was lured to
commit the deed. The state will en-
deavor to point out that Anna had
become tired of Grba's attention, and
that as result the Serb had become
angered and had In that state Of
mind removed Baldizar from his
path. Grba, who has been grilled in
cessantly since the morning of the
murder. the time when ne was In
carcerated, has persisted in denying
any connection whatsoever with the
terrible crime.
The state believes Grba's guilt inn
possible OF refutation. The battery,
the caps. the cell and the wire are in
tho possession Of the prosecution.
The state alleges 1t can prove Grba
purchased these discriminating or
