PROF. CRAWFORD SPEAKS HERE
Addresses Washburn Journalistic Stu
dents About Newspaper Making.

The public lacks confidence in the
accuracy with which newspapers pre-
sent objective facts. Prof. Nelson A.
Crawford, of the journalism depart
ment at K. S. A. c., told the class in
newspaper ethics at Washburn col
lege this morning.
TT would be hard to tell how far
this feeling is justified he said, be
cause no investigation of adequate
scope has ever determined it. But all
men, in or out of the profession, who
have studied the question admit that
the news is not reported as accurate
ly as possible"
Professor Crawford placed the
blame for this failure on two causes
which, he said, are responsible for
many failures in other spheres of
American life-ignorance and fear.
American newspaper men, he said.
are more ignorant than European
newspaper men, tho the same COM
parison would be true between Ameri-
can and European professional men
and business men. The reporter, the
editor, the publisher are all alike ac-
tuated by fear of offending the herd p
Professor Crawford said.
The unfounded popular explanation
for newspaper inaccuracy, he said. is
a belief that the newspapers are cor
rupt or that they are in a conscious,
deliberate conspiracy to suppress or
play up certain types of news. The
same two fallacies. he said, are com
monty advanced in explanation of al
most every other wrong, public or
private, whose cause is not clearly
understood

He DENIES CHARGE
Governor Russell of Mississippi
Says He's BlackmaiI Target.
Charges Hattiesburg Editor and
Attorney With Plot.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. THE $780,
600 damage suit filed against Gov. Lee
NJ. Russell by Mss Frances c. Birk-
head of New Orleans, alleging seduc-
ton, will be called for trial at the May
term of federal court.
Copies of Miss Birkhead's state
ments and a lengthy affidavit setting
forth her alleged relations with the
governor, were procured by Governor
Russell from the court clerk last night,
and he was in conference until late
hour with friends and attorneys. Miss
Birkhead is in New Orleans and is
said to be a hopeless invalid as a re-
suit of the two operations.
In a lengthy statement issued last
night bitterly denouncing the charge
of Miss Birkhead as IAN Infamous
blackmail,'' Russell said that Howard
Williams, editor of the Hattiesburg
American, and John r. Tally, a
prominent attorney of that city, have
been Miss Birkhead's chief counsel
Tors of late.
Mr.. Tally issued the following state
ment:
L never saw Miss Birkhead in my
life. never had any communication
with her directly or indirectly, and
know nothing whatever about the
case. The governor has my sincere
sympathy"
Mr.. williams said in a statement:
Il saw MISS BlrknedQ last SUMMER
and she told me her story. I did not
advise or counsel with Miss Birkhead
in any way except to tell her that her
story could not be handled unless it
was made a matter of record in the
courts.
THE woman was in destitute cir
cumstances and in a p.tiable physical
plight; further than this 1 know Moth
ing about her troubles. Major viii
Perry, who is mentioned in Miss Birk-
heads statement as the person sent by
Governor Russell to see her and try
to make a compromise and who, ac-
cording to her version, was trying to
get the governor to settle for 100000
is a conductor on the New Orleans &
Northwestern railroad with headquar-
tiers at Meridian. He is a member of
Gov. Russell's military staff.
Captain A. 3. Schauber, who is also
mentioned by Miss Birkhead as a go
between. was Governor Russelrs cam
paign manager in gubernatorial cam
paign of 1920 and is now secretary of
the general board of trustees of Miss
issippi's higher educational institu-
tons. Counsel for Miss Birkhead. in

The pontiff's position in this regard
as summed up in a speech which he
delivered when installed last summer
as archbiship of Milan, is now being
widely quoted. He then said:

Cardinal O'Connell, of Boston, arrived
just too late to participate in the final
ballot of the conclave. The American
cardinal entered the conclave at 2:4O

II is not necessary to use the sodium
fluoride in the pure form, but it may
be diluted with so per cen of flour
and still do the work. All reaches
coming in contact with the fluoride
die within a few hours. This method
