FEDERAL JURY | INDICTS ACENTS Learns That Kansas Express Companies Have Been Vio- lating the Prohibition Laws i KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 4.—Whole- sale indictments by the i‘ederal Grand Jury of express agents in Kansas City, throughout Kansas and in the prohi- bition counties of Texas and of liquor dealers who have been shipping liquor into these prohibition States are. im- minent, the result of a movement ‘start- ed by John W. Yerkes, Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington. The local agents of three large whole- it was announced to-day, were indicted and arrested yes- terday, but released on their own re- cognizance. Addiional bills, it is said, will be found against the agent of in the State of Kansas and in the pro- hibition counties of Texas who have acted as agents for liquor houses in selling whisky. For years practically every express company in this part of the Southwest has acted as the agency for liquor com- panies that have gold liquor in Kansas and Texas, the express agents of the different companies acting nominally as agents at the various points, thus prac- tically nullifying the prohibitory law. To avoid the law the whisky was sent in sealed packages addressed to ficti- tious names and =old by the agents for "exprua charges.” Miilions of cases of *whisky have been sent into Kansas yearly, and for each case disposed of the express agents were allowed 350 cents. This naturally has proven not only a violation of the prohibition laws of the States named, but has deprived the Federal Government of an immense amount of revenue. It was stated to-day that the Fed- eral Government has sent dozens of agents into Kansas and parts of Texas affected to gain evidence upon which to convict the offenders. The three Kansas City liquor dealers were indicted by a Federal Grand dury sitting at Wichita, Kans.,, and the in- dictments sent to the office of the United States District Attorney here for service.

Ry PRIS*N GUARD KILLS CONVICT Desperate Criminal in the Ne- vada Penitentiary Attempts to Make Escape and Is Shot ——— CARSOX Nev.,, Feb. 4—A convict named Bentley, alias Teddy Smith, was shot and killed by Guard Gamble at the prison to-day. Bentley was endeavoring to escape and while making for the open beyond the dead ling was shot down. Bentley has been feigning insanity for a number of weeks and when this did not bring the desired result he made a break for liberty. He was with a number of convicts who were being taken from the quarry, as the weather was threatening. Bentley was in the lead and when he reached the outer wall made a break to escape. Guard Gamble, who was the pearest to him, ordered him to halt. The command was repeated several times, and as the man was getting out of range, he fired a shot. The bullet struck Bentley in the back and he died in a few minutes. Bentley had a bad record and was serving his second term. He was sen- tenced for attempting the life of Sheriff Hays of Washoe County. He was in jail awaiting trial, when he es- caped. In doing so he ghot the Sherift and escaped to Texas, where he was recaptured after a year's hunt. He was sentenced to twenty-five years and was regarded as one of the bad men of the prison. ————————— Smalipox on the Logan.

BERKELEY, Feb. 4 —Professor Irv-| ing Stringham, head of the department | of mathematics at the University of | California, says that the methods 1'11 vegue among the teachers of the public | schools of the State are obsolete. In| his classroom yesterday fe said that the pedagogues teach th: me methods that they learned when they went to school years ago, regardless of the fact that there has been large fmprovement. Most striking of these derelictions, he says, is that in regard to the method for extracting the cube root. The| roundabout way used in the schools | may be good training for the mind, Professor Stringham says, but it is not | economy. When the graduates of the secondary schools enter the university they have to be taught all over again. —_—————— Bond Report in Abeyance.
