Washington, May 9.-With the
question of American representation
in European councils settled, Secre-
tafy of State Hughes will now turn his

Chief justice White giving the disputed
Coto territory to Costa Rica.
3. The protest of Japan against the Cali

4. The action of the Dutch government
in barring American interests from par

5. How to dispose finally of the for
mer German cables, a question which has
been in a deadlock between the five great
powers in the international communication
conference here for months
g. Whether to carry out the announced
intention of the Wilson administration to
withdraw the American military occupation
from Sante Domingo, which has been under
consideration at the state department for
sometime.

R. R. CHIEFS DENY
Western Road Heads Say Lauek
Deliberately Misled.
Declare Alleged Waste Has No
Connection With Wages.

Chicago, May 7.-Heads of western
railroads today presented a statemen
to the federal railroad labor board
here, declaring that testimony pre-
scented by w. Jet Lauck, union repre-
sentative, had no connection with
wage reduction question before the
board. The railroad heads claimed
Lauck's statements were made for
propaganda purposes.
The statement was signed by Chas.
H. Markham, president Illinois Cen
trail railroad; Hale Holden, president
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy; H. E.
Byram, president Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul; w. H. Finley, president
Chicago & Northwestern; J. E. Cor
man. president Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific. and s. NJ. FELTON,, president
Chicago Great Western.
The sole purpose of these state
ments, the Western railroad brief de-
clared, lis to divert public attention
from matters actually pending before
the board. They are bald propaS anda
intended to discredit private manage
ment and promote the Plumb plan.
We respectfully protest against the
board continuing to allow hearings be-
fore it to be made a means OF spread
ing this propaganda.
"Since these statements have been
permitted to be presented to the board
we respectfully call your attention to
the fact that in addition to being ir-
relevant they are gross misrepresenta-
tions of railway management and their
tendency and purpose is to nislead the
public regarding the actual facts as
to both railway management and rail
way regulations.
among the items of alleged waste
Mr.. Lauck mentions is loss and dam
age. In 1917. the last year before gov
eminent control. payment for loss and
damage to freight were only S35, OOe.-
600. In 1919 after two years of gov
eminent control this had increased to
$106, ,0e0. or 2O5 per cent"

TEACHERS CALL Meeting
Members of Educational Board to
| Transact School Business.

In face of the refusal of Miss Lor-
raine E. Wooster, state superintendent
of public instruction, to call meeting
of the state board of education, of
which she is ex officio chairman,
board members propose to meet in
Topeka Tuesday on their own motion
and transact business relating to the
schools of the state.
Six members of the board visit ID
the state house last Tuesday. for the
purpose of holding meeting. ARMED
with a special opinion from Richard
J. Hopkins, attorney general, to the
effect that majority of the board
might meet on their own initiative,
an oral request was made on Miss
Wooster that day thru DIR. W. NJ. Jar
dine, president of the Kansas State
Agricultural college, that a meeting be
called This Miss Wooster refused to
do, holding that there was no need
for meeting and that one could not
be legally held without formal notifi-
cation of all members
The controversy between Miss
Wooster and members of the board,
now come to q head, has been of long
duration. 1t is, as a matter of fact,
an aftermath of the open split be-
tween Miss Wooster and officers of
the Kansas State Teachers association
over the question of permitting teach
ers to smoke. Miss Wooster is a
strong anti-tobacco exponent.
Board members assert that the
three whose terms have expired-S.
P. Rowland, Hutchinson; John F.
Barnhill Parsons and Coz Smith.
Marysville-are de facto members and
will remain in office until their sue
| cessors have been appointed. In addi-
ton it is stated that practically all
members will pay their own expenses.
