Mitchell Denies Charges
Washington, March 2- BrigadierGeneral William Mitchell, assistant chief of the army air service, in a speech on Wednesday, today denied the charges of Secretary of War Weeks that he disobeyed orders of President Cogadie and the war department in publishing submissions to him by his superiors.

"No mention was made at all," wrote Mitchell, "about submitting advance copies to anyone. Genera gave me permission to write them."
The president's letter follows:
"Confirming my conversation with you regarding the question of any objection to your preparing some articles on aviation, so far as I am concerned. But, of course, I cannot speak for your superior officers. The matter should be taken up with them in relation to the article followed."

Attorney General Settles Question of Non-Residents
Griffith Explains the Law Applying to Students, in Letter to Registrar
The question of who shall pay non-residents' fees at the University of Kansas has been practically settled by Attorney General Griffin in a letter to Registrar George O. Foster. The residents question has been one of the most contentious and many delinquencies in enrolment fee payment have resulted. According to Registrar Foster these failures to pay non-resident fees have not been the fault of the students entirely, but due also to the inability of the registrar's office to determine al the student's or not the student was a resident.
Attorney General Griffith writes that the law of residents is different for minors and those who have rescheduled the age of maturity.
"A minor," the letter continues,
"unless uncleanned, cannot choose
his domicile. Ordinarily the home of
> minor is the same as that of his
father if his father is living. If his
father is not, the minor's home is that
of his mother."
"The application of these principles of law to students in the University of Kansas who are minor results in the conclusion that if a minor student has not been unancipated and his father is a resident of another state, then he must be seduced a resident of the same state, and if the father of such minor is not living then such minor student must be considered a resident of the state in which his mother is a resident. Also, if the father and mother are divorced and the mother has custody of such minor student, then the residue of such minor student is in the state in which his mother has residence."
Freshmen at Colgate University must wear black socks and ties, except on Sundays and holidays; must carry matches, remain squoted in the room, and all upperclassmen have left, and obey explicitly all on dews of seniors.
"Ordinarily a person who has resisted the age of majority has a right to choose his own domicile or residence. The general rule in regard to the objection of a new domicile or residence may be stated as follows: When a person moves from one place to another with the intention of living there, the latter place will generally be considered as his residence or domicile."
When an adult student comes from another state to a certain locality or city, it is generally the intention of remaining there permanently and of abandoning his residence or domicile in the state from which he came. The resident may be a resident of the state of Kansas."

New York, March 2 — The shipping of a rock mass in the Atlantic ocean off the coast of Maine about three miles northwest of New York caused the cairtnerm of Saturday night which shook the entire northeastern part of the United States and eastern Canada and was felt as far west as Wisconsin.
This has been established by Dr. Chester A. Reeds of the American Museum of Natural History from a publication in *Semigraph record* at that institution.
This fracture, called the Freudian fault has not caused trouble recently. Following its discovery, however, the fault was held responsible for a three-quarter earthquake in New England during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Doctor Reed's said evidence indicated the quake was due to a few movements in a recently discovered fault or fracture in the ocean bed extending from the day of Fundy to Portsmouth, N. II.

Keep "On Center," Murdock Advises Student Assembly
Editor of Wichita Eagle
Tells of Qualities That
Make Specialists
Successful
Adventuring that every nee- nee specialist in a particular field and follow it through life, Victor Murdoch, editor of the Wichita Eagle, arrogated greatness in the concoction audience this morning with his address, on "Balance."
Illustrating his speech with personal incidents in his own life, Mr Murdock attempted to reveal the quality which has made the specialist in different lines of activity, successful.
This important quality expressed in the theoretical languages, consists of always being "on center," according to the study carried on by the speaker.
"It is not the much talked of, tech-
lique or skill that makes Pandercore the
master musician, or Babe Ruth the
baseball semination of his time,
but it is the fact that each got on
center, found his field and doggedly
followed it that has resulted in the
fame, fortune and happiness in amu-
desied by every man," said Mr. Ruth.
"He wants to sell his personality
man who wants to sell his personality
must develop the same quality by
perseverance in his daily life."
Speech Illustrated With Stories
Personal touches revealed by the speaker in the stories of his first speech, when he took up golf, and then took to illustrations to illustrate the points made.
That relaxation is one method of keeping on center was shown by Mr. Murdock as he pointed out the fact that the great editorials known to readers were written in periods of rest by men who had no thought of writing a masterpiece. Great sermons, musical compositions and countless other famous creations are kept alive through repetition and serve to point out the value of rest, according to the speaker.
"Hate, jealousy, envy and egotism are all evidences of loss of balances and are stumbling blocks in the pathway of success," said the speaker, which must be exercised by everyone in search of true success and happiness."
Emphasizes Spiritual Side of Life
The spiritual side of life was emphasized by the speaker in the class when they said, "And when you are, you will serve your self, your nation and the world," and the name of your mother and master.
The conversation program was opened with a violin solo. The Serenade* by Shubhtu, played by Prof. Waldemar Geltch of the School of Music. The meeting was presided over by vice-chancellor W. L. Bardick.
