PRINCIPAL .PELTED
 WITH BAD HENFRUIT
Rotten Eggs Sing Swan Song
 For School Head

KANSAS CITY, Kan, March D. The eggs with which high school stu dents here pelted Principal Clarence T. Rice Friday were the rankest hen fruit, but they sang swan song for Rice.
 The Kansas City board of education announces that Rice won't be re-en- gagged next year, but asks that the stu dents refrain from egging him any more in the meantime.
 The egg barrage descended upon Rice as the result of the resignation of E. E. Damien, printing instructor, which Rice demanded. Damien had kissed girl student on dare and nearly all the student body and part of the board of education, when they heard the circumstances, declared it wasn't ayswicked kiss at all-at least not wicked enough to cost Damien his job.

 FINE NEW HOME
Head Of Worlds Greatest News. Organization Now On
 Madison Avenue

NEW YORK, March 2.-The hum of news activity in the general offices of the Associated Press, 51 Chambers street, was hushed at 4 o'clock this morning. There was a switching of wires at a well-worn switchboard, and in the twinkling of an eye, there was a cracking of resounding telegraph in struments in the associations new home, 3S3 Madison avenue.
 The transfer involved the intricate mechanical adjustment of the associa- tion's news heart and the arteries of 90, 900 miles of telegraph wires-enough to encircle the earth nearly four times. So carefully had plans been laid that when wires and cables were switched there was not the slightest interruption in the vast system whereby hundreds of thousands of words of news are daily distributed on 120 circuits, among more than 1,200 newspaper members of the worlds largest news gathering agency.
 The change to quarters that afford double the floor space was necessary to keep pace with the constant expan- sion of the service.
 The first organization under the name of the Associated Press was the old New York association, founded in 1S4S, when news was carried from in coming ships by carrier pigeons and courier before the advent of the tele- graph, telephone, cable, wireless and radio.
 The present organization, ineorpo- rated in 1900, has twice 'outgrown it's home. Twenty-four years ago, when the general offices were in the old Western Union building at 195 Broad way, six or seven telegraph operators handled the limited flow of news over three circuits, and there were about 35 employees. In 1914, it was necessary to find larger quarters, and the offices were moved to the Chambers street ad- dress, where the floor space was doubled and the news facilities greatly increased.
 The new Madison avenue home has q, 900 square feet of floor space. There are about 150 employees in the New York headquarters. Forty operators of 20 circuits handle the daily news out put, which goes to every state and ter ritory in the union, to Central and South America, and, through allied agencies, throughout the world. On four of these circuits there is 24-hour service

 The women of the harem are greatly disturbed over impending events. The chief eunuch has refused food for three days.
 In speech at Angora Saturday Mustapha Renal Pasha, president of Turkey, referred to the possibility of Turkey joining the League of Nations. The keynote of his speech was the neces- sity for undermining and westernizing the government of Turkey by delivering the people from the spirit of slavish at- tachment to tradition which he said preyed upon them like a nightmare and paralyzed their initiative.

BOBBED HAIR INV BROOKLYN NOW
 IS A MENACE

NEW YORK, March 2.-Bobbed hair, once regarded as an asset of beauty and convenience, and with out which no flapper could flap, has become a positive menace in Brooklyn.
 A aoobed haired bandit complex tas developed which makes it quite embarrassing for young women who have their tresses clipped. It is as much as a girls reputation is worth to wear hyphenated locks on the streets of that borough late at night.
 A wave of holdups, particularly of chain stores, has produced a sort of hysteria in the retail districts, and long hair, and plenty of it, is neces- ary, if young women would get prompt and courteous attention from managers and clerks.

MADAME RIED
 BY ACCUSATION
Vienna Opera Star Assailed At Home For Chasing
 American Dollars

NEW YORK, March 2.--Mme. Marie Jeritza, grand opera star, must either relinquish chasing dollars in the United States' or her position with the Vienna opera.
 This was the substance of spe- cial dispatch from Vienna which stated that the prima donna had been bitter ly attacked in parliament by M. Gloe- eckel, socialist deputy. Mime. Jeritza expressed great amazenment at the dis patch.
 "I am perfectly free to sing where like," she declared. T sing in Vienna for almost no money at all-simply be- cause I like my native country and wish to contribute my efforts for the sake of Vienna and my countrymen. In 1923, I sang in 16 performances of the Vienna opera. I could have made a lot of money signing elsewhere"
 Mime. Jeritza was particularly indig- nant at the intimation that she was in America merely for the pursuit of American dollars.
 ''New York today is one of the great est art centers in the world It is a great honor to any artist to be ap- preciated in New York and in Amer ica," she said. el
 Rumors that the. attack upon Mime. Jeritza was an outgrowth of the fact that the demorcatic socialists in Vien- na are angry with her husband, Bar on Pepper, because he has made con- tributions to the Christian socialist party, are absolutely without founda- tion, the baron said. He arrived in New York recently.
 Said Baron Pepper: 'sThis incident is an unfortunate one, .inasmuch as Mime. Jeritza has the interests of her country at heart. She sings in Vienna for practically nothing, and as soon as her American concert. tour is con- cluded she will return to the Vienna opera for the balance of the season" !"

 Of Duffy Murder

CHICAGO, March 2.-Orlando Hor- ton and his wife, Cecil, who were re- turned yesterday from New Orleans were questioned today by authorities seeking information regarding the slay- ing of John Duffy and his wife 10 days ago. At the termination of the ques- tioning Emmett Bryne, assistant states attorney, declared his belief that the Hortons were not in Chicago when the Duffys were killed.
 MT. Bryne said it was unlikely that Fred Curtis and his wife, who also were returned from New Orleans yes terday, would be questioned, as it was considered almost certain that their story would corroborate that told by Horton and his wife.

samaritanism of white business men

"It is the intention of those who
have come to the rescue of the com.
pany," he said, "to arrange for ar
agreement with the stockholders
when the company is in condition
that a control of the stock be vest

of the stock be contributed to Tuske

RHINELANDERS TOGETHER
AND HAPPY, REPORT

New York, Dec. 12.-Since the
Rhinelander marriage case has at
tracted 80 much public attention, the
press has been intently concerned
with it. The report that the two
have separated. however at the time
this article was written, could not
be given any substantial proof. 1t
Is said that much antagonism has
been evident among the certain
white organizations, and that the
Klan has gone so far as to threaten
bodily harm in the event that the
two do not separate.
The numerous accounts that have
been circulating concerning the pend
ing divorce of the Rhinelanders was
declared untrue by the mother and
sister of the bride, Mrs. Geo. Jones
and Mrs. Alberta Miller.
Samuel Swinburne admitted that
young Rhinelander's parents were
endeavoring to have the marriage
annuled, but that nevertheless, the
two were still together and decidedly
happy, though their whereabouts is
being kept secret.
