The Professor

| saw the learned professor grind
at midnight, in his booth; and he
was striving hard to find some
fundamental truth. Above his
books i saw him bend and burn
the midnight oil, that human be-
ings in the end, might profit by
his toll. YES" said this good
man, learned and grave, my
spirit sometimes says; need hair
cut and shave, | need some mod
ern rags. | also need a stovepipe
hat, a parrot in a cage; but how
can l indulge in that, on my un-
seemly wage? | scan the paper
now and then, to guard my mental
health, and there / read of fighting
men who simply wade in wealth. A
half a million for a scrap! A for
tune, large and chaste! It's handed
to some beefy chap whose minds
a shoreless waste. | read about a
base ball star, whose laurels come
by tons; men hand him all the coins
there are because he makes home
runs. | read about the actor bright
who elevates the screen, and carries
to his home each night nine bundles
of long green. At such injustice
would rave-have done so. once or
twice: | need haircut and shave
and haven't got the price Oh
learning starves while brawny
clowns their high reward may
choose; I need set of handme-
downs, | need brace of shoes"

FEND KILLED WIDOW
is THEORY Of POLICE
Body of Pretty Woman Found
On Tracks Of Railroad; In
vestigation Begun

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November
30.--Police working on the theory
that Mrs. Helen Hagger Whelchel,
attractive young widow, whose
body was found Wednesday be-
meath a bridge over the Big Four
railroad tracks about six miles west
of here had been kidnapped, attack
ed, wounded and the body thrown
over the bridge railing to the traces
in the hope that it would be struck
by a train and evidence of the
crime obliterated.
DR.. Paul F. Robinson, county
coroner, who made a post mortem
examination, said lie was unable to
determine whether the woman was
dead before being thrown off the
bridge. Death, the post norton
showed, was due to a fractured skull
caused by blow on the left side
Of her head. The coroner said his
inquest into Mrs. Whelchers' death
probably would be started Friday
night
Mrs. Whelcher left her home on
the South Side of the city, where
she Eept house for her father,
Frank Hager, without naming her
destination.

COOK IS NOT GUILTY
Of ft-0GGIRf CHARGE.
Alleged Abductor of Pretty
Young Widow Freed; Five
Other Cases Dismissed

MARIETTA, November So
Especially - A verdict of not
guilty" returned after about one
hours deliberation by jury here
in the trial of Parks G. Cook, one
of the six men indicted for the al
legged abduction and flogging OF
Mrs. Bertha Holcombe widow, and
her companion. Stephen Morton, on
the night of November 16, caused
he dismissal of charges against the
other five defendants, in the Blue
Fridge circuit court here Wednes
day afternoon.
The cases were dismissed on mo
ton of Solicitor General John 5.
Wood, whose motion was granted
BY Judge w. d. Blair, PRESIDING
Theo indicted as correspondents
with Cook in the alleged attack
were Frank Hasty, his two broth
ers. Keller, pitcher for the Phil9
delphia Athletics, and Arthur
Hasty; Tom Black and Joe Bran-
lot The prosecution elected to try
the defendants separately, and
placed the charges against Cook
first, because it was thought that
the evidence against him was strong
err than against the other defend
ants, When it was found that CocE
could not be convicted under the
evidence, all the cases were dis
missed.
The verdict of not guilty was re-
ceived with applause by spectators,
who occupied the gallery and
brought a sharp rebuke from Judge
Blair,
Charges against the men grew
out of an alleged attack on the
pretty widow and her escort 10
Smyrna on the night of November
l6. when Mrs. Holcombe claimed
she was beaten after being forced
in to waiting automobiles. She in
tmated that the motive for the un-
expected attack was jealousy on
the part Of the men who admins
tered the whipping.
An effort on the part of Solicit
tor Wood to connect the flogglug
with Ku Klux KHAN was unsuc =
cessful Cook declared that he was
a member Of no organization ex-
eept The Baptist church, and that
he was sn innocent man. He es-
tablished an alibi.

DR.. MARK CHANCELLOR
OF NEW GOVERNMENT
IN CONTROL At BERLIN
Parliamentary Crisis Ended For
Present By Naming New
Ministry
NEW CABINET IS WEAK ON
Former Chancellor Stresemann
Has Portfolio in Marx Min
istry just Formed

BERLIN, November. 3d. By
Associated Press. Am official an
nouncement Of the formation Of
new three-party coalition cabinet
for Germany with DR.. Marx as
chancellor and former chancellor
Stressmann as foreign minister
was made public this afternoon.
DR.. Wilhelm Marx, the Clerical
leader, will head the new cabinet
as chancellor, while the other port
folios viii be held by men who
were in the last government.
As at present constituted the
government will be:
Chancellor, Dr.. Wilhelm Marx.
Minister Of the Interior, Or
Jarres.
Minister Of Defense, Or, Otto
Gessler.
Minister Of Food, Dr.. Hans Luth-.
er.
Minister Of Posts, Dr.. Anton
Hoefle.
Minister in thout protfoIo Ri
dolph Osert.
Aside from being a pronounced
minority cabinet, the present re-
vamped coalition is anything but
firmly eo-ordinated three party
bloc, within its own ranks, and it
also will be called upon to assim-
late much of the animosity and
partisan acerbites which it inherits
from the seyen-day crisis, both with
respect to the antagonism waiting
it from the German nationalists,
as well as the yet wholly problems
atical attitude of the United Social
lists
Although DR.. Marx announced
that he would select his cabinet
members irrespective of their party
allegiance, he nevertheless heads
an outspoken partisan ministry
which seemingly once again is who'll
ly dependent upon the charity Of
the Social Democrats. To this ex-
tent the present crisis ran true to
traditional form, although previous
parliamentary ructions rarely con.
sumed an entire week in the pro-
cess Of their liquidation. Presi-
dent Ebert used up four chancel-
lor candidates in his efforts to
construct party line up which
would constitute a workable coali
ton, and the situation reached
state Of Qualification this evening
only after DR. Marx was sent out as
bellwether
