INSTITUTES DRAW
LARGE ATTENDANCES

AUSTIN, Sept. 14.-Despite eff
forts made by the Thirty-nipth Legis-
lature to abolish county teachers in
stitutes, the attendance at the insti-
tutes are exceedingly large, according
to Professor L. w. Rogers, first as
sistant state superintendent of public
instruction. who returned Saturday
from various portions of the state
where he addressed these Institutes.
At Orange the attendance was over
100 teachers; at Nacogdoches, 700;
Houston, 800; Galveston, 500; Wood.
vile, 70; Corpus Christi, 500. and at
San Antonio. more than $500.
At these different institutes, Pro
fessor Rogers put the question up to
the teachers as to whether they de-
sired the adjustment of county in
stitutes, and found opinion divided.
1t was pointed out by Rogers that as
most of these teachers attend summer
schools where they get professional
training, the institutes, would not be
necessary. However, it is now prac-
tically certain that the question OF
abolishing these institutes will come
up at the next session of tho Legisla-
ture.

But Protected Themselves in
 Bridgeport Fatal Fight

Bridgeport, Dec. g Lp - Coroner John J. Phelan today made public his finding In the death of William Kunst, II, exonerating Charles F, King. kunsts son-in-law and Mrs. Anna King, daughter of the deceas- ed of criminal responsibility in Kunst's death. The charge of man. slaughter against King was nolled in the city court today.
 Tho coroner finds that Kunsts death resulted from the justihable acts of Charles and Anna King in defense of their proper persons from imminent death or great bodily dan. ger"
 The coroner reviews the facts oi the case. showing how Kunst came to Kings home with a large meal cutters knifs concealed under hi coat and started to argue with hi' daughter over money matters: how Kunst became incensed when hi daughter told her husband that hel father intended to kill her and O how the old man attached Kim with the knife when King rose tc put Kunst out of the house.
 The evidence cited by the corone in his finding brought out the fac that Kunst dealt King a blow ove the head with the knife. Kim grasped him about the body to dis arm him and in the struggle force' the knife from his hands. He cite the testimony as 1t dealt with tn overcoming and pinioning of Runs to the floor by chair which Mrs King obtained from the kitchen an states:
 It is assumed that tho leg or rung of the chair in consequence of 1t having slipped back and forth owe the chest and head and throat C the deceased, caused a compressio and fracture of the cartilaginou rings of the windpipe of the deceas ed. death following from strangula tion."

 The invitation points out that Connecticut valley growers have restricted market, for while there Is no satisfactory substitute for the grade of tobacco grown, yet demand for this particular type Is limited. "ro solve tho problem" says the let ter, "growers arc contemplating a holiday. In no sense a strike nor q holdup, It is yielding to economic necessity"
 The holiday the letter says, would leave thousands of acres of valuable soil 10 be utilized for other purposes and a question is "how hest 10 use those acres without upsctting the produce market"
 "The bankers are interested" it continues. "because they are carry ing the tobacco growers. The market gardeners are interested, be- cause they frankly fear glut of the market if this acreage Is thrown into competition with them"
 The letter indicates that tho morn ing session will be probably devoted 10 a statement of the problem and the afternoon session 10 suggest cd solutions. The Connecticut Valley Tobacco Growers association will he asked to furnish the program in the forenoon. the letter says. and the chamber of commerce will probably ask for the viewpoints Of trained market men, market gardeners bankers and other interested group' in the afternoon.
