RIOT;

 EGGS AT BUILDING
CHARGES AGAINST DIR. SHIELDS AND SECRETARY SAID TO BE
 WITHOUT FOUNDATION

DIES MONIES, Iowa, May 13, (P)- Approximately 200 students of the .Des Moines university gathered in their classes at the usual time fol- lowing riots Saturday but dispersed after Dr. H. O. Wayman, president, announced he intended to carry out the order of the board of trustees suSpending all classes until further notice.
 Later, an injunction against the boards order was reopened. The school disorders came to a head after a meeting of the trustees were called to investigate the charges of students involving pr. T. T. Shields, president, and Miss Edith Rebman, secretary to the board.
 On the background were reports of a fundamentalist and modern i5t controversy and the contentious that the board had imported Cana Cian students to spy upon members of the faculty
 The charges against pr. Shields and Miss Rebman were that they were registered together at a hotel but this was found to be without foundation.
 Dissatisfaction among The stu dents increased and a second meet ing was called Saturday night when the students bombed the building where the trustees were meeting with eggs and other missiles.
 Police were called and pr. Shields and Miss Rebman eScourted by the police to the station to protect them from the rioters. The order to sus- pend all classes was issued until such a time the student body will experience a change of mind on their rotten egg and broken window attitude"

The colonization work of the AL aska Railroad is now receiving the

SnOdgraSS visited So per cent of the homesteads of Alaska and made a survey of the agricul- tural development first hand and can speak from the farmers standpoint in matters concerning farming.

 When the crew failed to control the blaze early Saturday they were taken off by the Salvage King and the ship was lowed to the beach where repeated attempts made to scuttle her failed and served only to fan the flames which were eating their way to the upper decks and threatened the fuel supply.

Seven million dollars purchased ALASKA from Russia; Seven mil lion more will make ALASKA one of the United States.
 This is the slogan of the Inter national Highway Association of Fairbanks, an organization devoted to the purpose of filling the gap of TOO miles in the stretch of 2,000 miles of road needed to connect Fairbanks with Seattle. This gap once filled 1t will be possible to drive from Florida to the Arctic Circle, for Alaska already has over 800 miles of excellent gravel roads, 160 miles of which extend mortimer 1y from Fairbanks.
 Seven million dollars would com plete the job.
 The project is vital to the future of the country, so vital and so ut terly essential to the development of stable and permanent pop ulation, that the Association is determined to use every resource and method in order that the con- struction be initiated within the next three years.
 Alaska and the Canadian North land have many and varied re- sources. Unfortunately the agri- culture, the coal and the baser metals, and the timber appear too remote from the continental markets for present exploitation. To date, therefore, all development has depended upon the placer mining of gold, notably shift ing and short lived industry. This

The natural evolution of trans portation is trails, roads, and then railroads. The International Highway forms a necessary link in this evolution. That the season. al exodus of pleasure seekers will eventually, in it's relation with industry generate a freight vol tune too heavy for cars and trac- tors is obvious.
 The Canadian Pacific already has three parties Investigating the Mayo Silver-lead country now being developed by big capital, back of Dawson. That these par ties of scientific experts will dis cover mineral potentialities of sufficient importance to justify the construction of a branch of the c. P. R., is almost an assured fact. Tn the event of this con- struction actually occurring, the extension of the Alaska Railroad thru the country traversed by the International Highway would be an urgent economic necessity.

loud enough to arouse her suspicion. It

doubling that the woman had worked
for her father and had given him pa

that the place he went to work every
day had been somewhere on Erie street,
and it was natural that 1t should have
been a laboratory, since he'd been a
professor of chemistry before the crash
came. She wondered how the woman

this wasn't explained, but she put II

numerous and complicated to write in q

l planned as soon as they met at lunch.
But with the beginning Of the post

begin picking it to pieces.
This treacherouS trick that some mar

Could he have been tricked without
ever knowing it? That was possible, but
the implication in this letter was that he
If that was what she meant to
imply, she was lying. Rhoda felt
that her father would never
have told any girl who happened to be
working for him that his life had been

| friend. Claire Cleveland had, most
likely, made up the story out OF whole
cloth. But why?
When Rhoda reread the injunction
not to answer any communication OF
any sort, the heavily UNDERSIGNED words

tisement for Rhoda Mcfarland: She
knew now that the woman was the per-

she would answer the advertisement In
the paper before they had time to take
whatever steps they meant to take.
Who was the man Claire wanted to
force to make things right-"aS far as
money could make anything right?"
The Shiny hypocrisy of that after
thought turned Rhoda Q bit sick.
Wasn't he most likely the Mr.. Forster
whose advertisement she was not on any
account to answer? Wasn't he the

talking about?
Well, she'd see Martin efore she went
to the Tip-Top Inn. If he happened to
be waiting again at the foot of the
elevated stairs, that would make every
thing easy.
Martin was waiting at the foot of the

Stopping his car for them must have
been an act Of benevolence on the part
