Is Out In The Country, Says Head
Georgetown University
Cleveland, January 10.-The ideal
place for a school is out in the
country, as far from city life as DOS
sible, Rev. DR.. John B. Creedon, pres
ident Of Georgetown university,
washington, D. c., told Georgetown
alumni at a banquet here.
Our boys today" DR.. Creedon said,
are blase at the age Of Is. They
start running around with girls.
They go to the movies, wander up
and down the streets, cannot enter
tain themselves and somebody else
must furnish the entertainment.
Georgetown has built its new pre-
paratory school out in the country
several miles from the university
The young folks are allowed occas
fonal trips to the city, but for the
most part lead rural lives.
That makes a boy provide his own
forms of entertainment, and usually
they are more wholesome than those
dished out for him in the city. Thai
makes his mind work" The dean of
Georgetown medical college has con
tr1buted his services to the uniyer-
stty since 1889 because of the educa .
ton 1t gave him as a young man. Dr.

this place yesterday afternoon for
the purpose OF preventing him from
attempting to burn down the house,
he found the residence IN flames

He and his wife were wrapped in
blankets and taken to Jackson, where
Mr.. Raut was adjudged insane before
the probate court and committed 20
the insane asylum at St Peter.
The only explanation the demented
man would give for his act, was that
he did not like the house and wanted
to get rid of it. Raut tried three
times yesterday to set the house on
fire but each time it was discovered
by his son and the flames extinguish
ed. It was while his son was in
Jackson getting the aid of the sheriff

Wis, Established

Windsor, Wis, January 1.-THE
identity of the murdered man found
yesterday near Portage in burning
haystack was established as Phillip
Houston, fifty years old, local bache-
lor, by Sam Moen and Joe Carbelli,
who lived with him here. A reason
for the crime has not been establish
ed, although some regard it as prob.
able that he was killed for $50 that
he had in his pockets Tuesday when
last seen. A key ring carried by
Houston was the means OF identity
ing him. The number of a key tai
lied with that on trunk in the
shack where he lived. Later his two
associates and other people or the
town established definitely that he
was the man who had been found in

Hartwell Farewell, farmer Of vi
emma, Wis, was held today by Sheriff
Mccormick of Dane county, as a sus-
pect in the murder OF Philip Houston
of Windsor, whose body was found
burning in haystack pear Portage,

tentions to FarewelPs sister.
Sheriff Mccormick said that Hous-
ton was to meet the girl Tuesday, the
last night he was seen, but failed to
appear, according to the story the
girl is said to have told.
Two years, ago the Sheriff declared.
Farewell had Houston arrested for
threatening to kill him. Later Hous-
ton had Farewell arrested, it is said,
for using abusive language. The two
men were reported to lave enemies

have some knowledge of the crime.

Held Thirty three Wears

- IS'o iuITIJ-InFCe years
st. Peter. January 13.-After thir.
ty three years Of continual service
as organist and choir leader at the
Flrst Lutheran church Of this CITY,
Dr. X. Largerstrom rendered his
resignation to the board at the an
nual meeting after he was re elected
by that body as organist at a re-
ductlon in salary. Thus far all eff
forts to induce him to resume his
duties have failed, and it appears
that arrangements must be made ia
secure a successor. He will contin
ue to serve until another oreanist
can be secured he states.
Owing to differences which have
arisen in the past year in the choir
and in church circles, it was decided
to engage DR.. NJ. Lunduuist of the
college faculty to act as choir lead :
er. At the meeting Monday it was
decided to engage him permanently,
and to limit Dr. Lagerstrom's actiyi-
Ties to organist. It was voted to re-
duce the latters salary accordingly.
to leave fund to reimburse the new
leader. When he learned of the ac.
ton or the meeting, DR.. Lagerstrom
at once rendered his resignation to
become effective at once. He was
re- elected, however and a commit
tee was appointed to wait on him
and to use every means to induce
him to remain but thus far he has
been Obdurate in his decision.

KILLING NOT JUSTIFIED

Madison, Wis, January 14.-Fed-
eral prohibition officials who killed
Julius Wurzer of Elton, Wis, when
he attempted to evade arrest, were
not justified in their action, under
Wiconsin law, ]. E. Messerschmidt,
assistant attorney general, advised IT.
Wis, in an opinion today.
'In view of the fact, as it appears
from the evidence that Wurzer was
attempting to escape and did not car
ry concealed weapocs nor resist ar
rest and had not committed a felony,
nor could he be suspicioned of having
committed felony, the officer was
not justified in killing him." he held.
The officers. I'm the opinion OF ran
attorney, are liable to punishment for
the killing
