LADIES' TOWN
 TEAM WINNER
Whirlwind Victory Ends Interesting Series of
 Basketball.

The Ladies' Town Team won their third basketball game last evening from the School Girls Team by score of 21 to II. This whirlwind vic tory ends the present series as the ladies have out of 4 games to their credit
 Both teams played fine ball, show ing great improvement in teamwork, but the town quintet showed more skill in basket shooting.
 Mrs. Axel Anderson tossed some spectacular long distance baskets. What's in your pocket, rabbits foot or horshoe?" one youth queried.
 Mrs. P. Peterson, true of aim, also did star basket work, making the highest individual score.
 Mrs Chester Davis was the star guard of the evening. Playing the most difficult position on the squad, she held Doris MacConnell, the bril- liart school forward, down to 2 bas- kets.
 Doris MacConnell and Genev;eve Dyson were the undisputed stars of the school team, their playing was feature of the game. Undoubtedly the school girls could have made a much better showing if the star players had the stronger support their skill deserved. Dyson at the free throw line certainly was a wonder.
 Edith Catherine Smith played plucky game and after more practice will be in a class by herself.
 The members of the school team ex- cepting Thelma MacConnel, had never played basketball till less than four months ago. The progress the glrls have made is marvellous. They pos sess the courage and the stick-to-lt quality of future stars. Oscar Hut ton coached the girls through the ln- tricacies of the game and they keen ly appreciate his services.
 The town team owes a goodly snare of it's success in winning the series to the untiring efforts of Emil Hill, coach, and Al satterlee, team manager.

hall while the governor was talking.
C. A. Martin, president of the Win

to the governor and declared the
community stood strongly behind the
principle of law and order.
Persons opposed to Governor Aliens
administration were presumed to have
organized the movement \ which re-
suited in several hundred persons

directors have sent a letter of apology
to the governor
The letter which was signed by
President Martin follows:
Dear Governor-Winfield believes in law
and order as administered by the legally
persons in staging the disturbance during
your address here Friday evening is not
approved nor countenanced by the Cham
Der of Commerce of this city. We feel that
we have to n certain degree been dis
graced by such action, and we are hasten

1t is unbelievable that this should hap

current issues should be allowed to be had

If there ever was time in which con-
stituted authority should have it's hands
upheld it is now, and there should be
beating back to firm basis of the con-
stitution of our fathers which rich inheri-
lance is ours. The fact that 90 per cent
of the disturbers were from out of town
does not mitigate the offense nor release
US from responsibility.

have given their approval to this com
munication.

London, Oct. 31.-Princess Hermine
of Reuss thinks her fiance. the for
mer German kaiser, is one of the most
generous, kind hearted men that ever
lived. and she is sure that she is go
ing to be the happiest woman in the
world after their marriage next Sun
day. That, at least, is what she told
the correspondent of the Daily Ex-
press today.
81 know 1 love the kaiser" she said.
Surely he is not so rich that it can
be said I am marrying him for his
money"
The princess said that a lot of other
women were anxious for the heart of
the former German emperor and de-
scribed how mad some of them were
with envy and jealousy when her en-
gagement to William got noised
around the world by telegraph and
cable.
In her most charming manner the
princess conversed with the CORE
spondent at the old Silesian castle
which is her ancestral home. She
told a little about the romance and
of her plans for the future.

PRAYS in DEFENSE
Minister, Charged With Murder,
breaches to Jury.
Says Women Today Are Gauss
s ing Downfall of Men.

-Statesboro, Ca, Oct. 3i.-When the
Rev. Elliot Patrick on trial for alleged
murder of his wife and her mother,
Mrs. NJ. B. Dixon, took the stand in
his own behalf here today, his first
act was to lead the court room in
prayer, after which he proceeded to
deliver a sermon on the text Thou
shall not" which probably was
the most dramatic defense statement
ever offered in a court room in this
state.
During the presentation of his
statement Padrick became so excited
it was necessary for one of his attor-
neys to call halt, and when instruct
ed to sit down." the young minister
walked deliberately over to a water
turned to his attorneys table, where
he sat down, closed his eyes, and ap-
peared1to drop off in sleep.
Modern Woman a Temptation.
In his prayer Patrick asked for
divine guidance for the court, the fu-
ture of the church and the people of
Statesboro. He then turned to the
jury and delivered a short sermon. He
declared the women of today were
causing the downfall of man, enticinS
them by their daily dress and playing
to them thru sex appeal. He said it
was difficult for young minister to
enter the gospel because of the
temptation of modern women.

defense sermon was reached when he
singled out his father-in-law. the
father of his dead bride. pointed his
finger at him and declared:
You are responsible for me marry
ing your daughter"
He told the jury that Mr.. Dixon had
insisted upon the wedding.
Mother-In-Law Was Jealous.
Patrick told of the alleged jealousy
of his mother-in-law whom he admits
he killed.
''She would often beat her daughter
because Willie Mae was admired by
other men when she went to town.
he said.
The prosecution later in the day
placed witnesses upon the stand TO
prove Padrick's sanity. Jones Quat-
tlebaum declared. he considered him
sane. having heard him preach. Tom
Jones, another witness, said he Had
heard him preach and considered him
above the average in intelligence.
Padrick has shown little interest in
the fight his attorneys are making to
save him from the gallows, sleeping
in his chair while a large part of the
states evidence was being submitted
yesterday. The defense contends the
former minister was insane when he
shot both his wife and mother-in- law,

they are to be kept separate from the
imperial property.
''As matter of fact, the economic
arrangement for the marriage at first
frightened some people. but now
everything is settled and nobody will
complain"
The princess said all of the for
mer kaiser's children were going to
attend the wedding. Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and General Luden-

clared.

LETTER TO K. U. STUDENTS
Washburn Regrets Action of Students
in DefaeIng Stadium.

4 letter was sent this morning from
the student body of Washburn college
to the student body of Kansas uni
versity, expressing regret for the de-
facing of the memorial stadium al
Kansas university the evening before
the Washburn-K. U. game, two weeks
ago. A number of the Washburn
slogans We're painted along the front
of the stadium. Altho they were
somewhat eradicated by the next day,
they stu showed to the detriment of
the appearance Of the structure. Con-
siderable feeling against the action
has been eXpres-ed in the college
among the students.
A copy of the letter has been sent
to Baker university, asking for coop
Grafton in the action taken. Baker
has been painting up WaShburn S
campus every year before the Wash
burn Baker game, and the students of
Washburn feel that it is time that the
actions were stopped.
Tne letter reads:
To the Student Body of the University of
E7usRs
iuasmuch as some persons, presumably
stHleuts. of Washburn college, have re-
Gently defaced and marked the stadium of
Kansas university in a mistaken attempt
TO show their college spirit and loyalty,
we. the student council of Washburn col
burn wish to express our regret at this
action and to assure the student body of
Kansas university that such action is
heartily and entirely disapproved by our
STUDENT body as n whole.
The action was doubly wrong because
the building defaced is shortly to be
dedicated as memorial of the World
war, and such disrespect is emphatically
discountenanced by our student body.
The students of Washburn wish TO
maintain the friendly spirit existing be-
tween the two schools and will do every
thing in their power to make impossible
the repetition of any such occurrence as
tire recent one.
The Student Council of Washburn college,
HOWARD MYERS, President.
