It licked the face and handa of a young son of Mr. from wounds Inflicted by Peter Durk, a blacksmith, at Summltt'a residence. 17 North Eighth atreet. about 1 o'clock yea terday morning. Summltt was stabbed by Burk after the former had ordered Burk to leave the home. Burk la behind the bars of the city Jail, having been arrested by Captain Maltby shortly after the af- Burk had been hoarding for over a year paat In the Summltt home, but. It Is said, had made himself obnoxious, and the fam ily decided to roquest him to seek quarters elsewhere. When Burk came home late on Saturday night, It Is alleged aomewhat un der the Influence of liquor, Reel Summltt and his brother, a employe of the motor company, notified him that hla presence was no )onger desirable and the sooner he compiled with their request to leave the house the better. Bark Draws Bla Knife. Burk did not take kindly to being ordered out of the house In such a peremptory man ner, and a fight ensued, during which. It Is alleged, he drew a big knife and slashed Reel Summltt twice In the side. Both wounda are dangerous, and It was said yesterday at the hospital that It waa doubt ful If Summltt would survive. Bert Summltt, brother of the wounded man. succeeded In making his escape and notified the police. During hla absence Reel Summltt, with the blood streaming from hla two wounds, ran from the house, fear ing a further attack from Burk, who was aotlng like a veritable madman. He ran as far as the bridge across Indian creek, when he felt . fainting from the loss of blood. Neighbors who had been attracted to the scene by the cries of the women of the house carried him home, where later hla wounds were temporarily dressed and he was then removed In the ambulance to the hospital. , Burk, when he began to realise the mis chief he had committed, attempted to make Ma escape from the house, but waa In tercepted by Captain Maltby on the bridge, who placed him under arrest after a vig orous resistance. Bark Telia Hla Tale. Burk, who was denied ball yesterday pending the outcome of Summltt'a Injuries, contended that he acted In self-defense. He says that on his return Reel Summltt and his brother, Bert, were In the parlor and they ordered him to leave the house. Thla iBurk awa,. Jie -declined to do, aa ho bad paid a month's board tn advance. Th two brothers then Jumped on him. Burk declares that he wsa not aware that he had stabbed or slashed Reel Summltt, and that if he did he did It In self-defense. Neighbors who were attracted by the disturbance say, however, that Burk walked around the house after the affray using foul language', And expressing the hope that he had cut Summltt'a heart In two, and threatening to cut the life out of anyone who would order him to leave the house. It U said Burk used a large olasp dirk knife, but the weapon has not yet been discovered. Summltt is suffering from two knife wounds, both on the left side Just below the heart. One is a gash several inches long and about an inch deep. This Is not considered dangerous. The other, which Is a clean stab, penetrated the peritoneal cavity and fears are entertained that It will result fatally, Summltt'a temperature and pulae during the day Increased steadily and there were alarming Indications of peritonitis. Reel Summltt and his brother lived with their mother, Mrs. Lyda Summltt, at 17 North Klghth street, where Burk had been a boarder for over a year. Several com- ' plaints had been made to the authorities that things were hot as they ought to be at the place, but the protests of the resi dents In the vicinity had gone unheeded. Burk, who la a blacksmith by trade, has been llvng apart from his wife for nearly two years. . It is said 'she was obliged to leave htm on account of his brutality when in his cups. A few months ago Burk was arrested for assaulting Mrs. Summltt, but the latter failed to prosecute, Huber, but nothing was thought of It at the time. Yesterday the dog showed signs of not being altogether right and It waa killed.

SCHOOL FUNDS INADEQUATE lowa'i Education Crippled for Lack of Cash, Though Teachers Are Plenty, STATE SHOWS BALANCE OF $1,570,478 Revenues Exceed Kxpendltares Ac cording to Financial Statement Soon to Be Issned by Treas ured Ollbertaoa. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 26. (Special.) All the educational Instltutlona of Iowa are, find ing that the funds provided by the legis lature, though supposed to be more than liberal, are Inadequate to meet the ex panding conditions, and at the last meet ing of the board of trustees of the state university It was found that the presi dents estimate of expenses for the coming year exceeded the probable Income of the college by more than $30,000. As a consequence it became necessary for the board to make many changes In the faculty and working of the college to the end that greater economies might be ef fected. A number of additions were made to the faculty, but In minor positions and at low wages, and In some cases positions desired were not filled. Dr. C. W. Gay of the veterinary department waa granted leave of absence for a year. An additional assistant In agricultural chemistry was granted at 1500 a year. Wayne E. Dins more was elected as additional assistant In animal husbandry at $600 a year. Miss Effle White of Sioux Rapids, a graduate of Wellesley. was made assistant In Eng lish, and Misses Elliabeth McLuen and Bessie B. Larrabee were made assistants In the English department. Miss Ada Miller, of the same department was granted a year's absence to take work in Chicago university, and Miss Luella J. Reed ' tnkes her place temporarily. Miss Mary Sabln resigned aa professor of do mestic economy and her assistant, Miss Alice Merritt, waa placed In charge. A. T. Erwln, assistant In the horticultural de partment, was given full charge tn plaoe of H. C. Price, who baa resigned to accept a place In Ohio. O. I. Christie was elected a professor of soil physics at $800 per an num. Prof. Zlntheo of North Dakota was given charge of the new branch of farm mechanics. There has been some criticism of the board in view of all these various changes and the necessity for retrench ment In raising the salary of the presi dent higher than ever known before. Teachers Ar Abandant. Last year the Iowa teachers at their state association meeting started a move ment to bring about an Increase In tha wages of teachers, especially In the rural schools, and the toplo waa assigned as one for discussion before the state educational council next winter. In this county the county superintendent took up the work and Insisted on the wages of teachers be ing Increased and this was done in every township of the county. Last year It was found Impossible to secure enough teach ers to fill all the schools. This year there are more teachers than there are schools and some of the extra ones are experienced. The effect of an Increase in wages was magical and It is believed there will be no trouble getting enough teachers for. Jowa next year. Woman'a Anxlllnry to Meet. The woman's auxiliary of the Iowa com misalon on the St. Louis exposition will meet in this city some tlnte this week to formulate plans for the work to be done In the supervision of the Iowa exhibits at the exposition.

The committee has not yet conferred, but the members will get together this week.
