Row Supposed Nebraska Convict Across Kaw Last Night ENGINEERING PROFS OFFICIATE AT MEET MARKETING One of the three convicts who escaped from the Nebraska prison at Lincoln last Thursday by exploding nitroglycerine and killing three men, was rowed across the Kaw river late yesterday afternoon by four University students, is identified as the students Edwin Merservey, Frank Bolin, William Ainsworth, and Caleb Bowron, had rowed up the river about a mile above the boat landing. They noticed a man lurking in the willow growth along the west bank, and pulled near to see what he war doing. At first he started to make for the Santa Fe tracks but when the boys came closer he stepped to the water's edge and asked them to row him across the river. He said that he had been in a dice game with some negroes in Lawrence and had cut one of the negroes with a knife after an argument over some loaded dice. The man seemed anxious to get on the Union Pacific side, and the boys started across with him. The boys notified the police when they landed and Marshal Carter telephoned a report of the affair t-Perry, the next stop on the Union Pacific and to Topeka. There was no trouble of any kind, but the officer had been cut, as the man described. No trace of the mar hac has been obtained at noon today. H. A. Rice Is Referee and Jake Jones Is Head When they reached the middle of the river, Meseryver started to pull for the boat landing where a group of students were watching the maneuvers. The man reached in his right overcoat pocket and drew forth a revolver and told Meseryver to row straight across to the flight of steps on the north bank.

PHARMACICS ENTERTAINED WITH OLD IRISH GAMES Prof. and Mrs. Emerson Keep Patrick's Eve With Pill-Mixers and They Were all Irish Professor and Mrs. Emerson entertained the students and faculty of the School of Pharmacy at their home on University Heights St. Patrick's eve. The evening was spent in good old Irish rames, each of which was explained in little green covered booklets which were given to the guests. The only sad feature of the evening was the potato race. It started of with a rush but could not be finished as the faculty members who entered soon got out of breath and insisted on "cribbing." Notwithstanding this tendency of the part of the faculty, all those connected with the School of Pharmacy are wishing that there were more Irish saints whose day might be celebrated at Professor Emerson's home. THE TEACHERS ATE AND TALKED AND LISTENED CHANCELLOR TOASTMASTER Four Hundred Visitors Were Entertained at Luncheon in Gym Saturday Send the Daily Kansan home. Better Methods of Teaching High School Subjects Discussed— Colored Teachers' Quartette Sang The Extension department of the University entertained the visiting members of the conference of high schools and academies with a three course luncheon in the Robinson gymnasium Saturday noon. About four hundred teachers enjoyed the luncheon and the program which followed. A reception was held in the west side of the gym by Chancellor Strong and the professors of the university previous to the luncheon. Chancellor Frank Strong acted as toast master for the occasion, and began by introducing the University Glee club which gave several selections. Prof. F. W. Blackman, Dean of the Graduate School, talked on the advantages of Economics as a high school subject. He recommended that future politicians should have at least an elementary course in economics, and that they become versed in the social "If we cannot educate the boys in social terms," said Professor Blackman "I have no faith in Democracy." Coach W.O. Hamilton, followed with a talk on the place of athletics in the high school. "There is little question as to whether there should be athletics in the high schools," he said. "The surplus energy of the boys must be arranged, or it will be directed into ways that are not good." Prof. L, D. Whittlemeen, state superintendent of schools in Topeka spoke on Normal subjects. He stated that 1000 graduates of high schools are teaching in the rural schools of the state, but that one-half of the rural teachers have never had a high school education. "Psychology for High School Students" was the subject of the talk by Prof. D. C. Rodgers, assistant professor of Philosophy of the University, He stated that the simplification of Psychology is believed to be impossible, but that eventually it will be done. The Colored Symphony Quartette from the Summer high school, Kansas City, Kansas, gave several songs that made a hit with the audience and they were forced to respond to a number of encores. Dr. Edna D. Day followed with a talk on the culture or women. "Man is lazy," said Doctor Day. "Women use the most primitive methods in their work, while man finds easy ways to it." "Women's clubs spend too much studying art and literature," continued Dr. Day. "when they ought to be discussioning ways to do their work, and care for the children." Prof. R. R. Price concluded the programme with a discussion of the educational status of high school debating. "Debating," stated Professor Price, teaches men to think. Many propositions have failed because men have been unable to convince anyone of their value." He also stated that there are many students in the high school and that forty per cent of the students' extra time should be given over to debating because it is the best literary training. "The Tar Heel," the official paper of the Athletic Association at the University of North Carolina, is the latest paper to arrive at the Kansas exchange table. IF SUSIE IS NOT HEEDFUL SHE MAY BE FLUNKED "Susie," one of the pups sent to Professor Dockeray from Kansas City, attended class for the first time Friday morning and proved that monkeys are not the only mimics among the animals. Notwithstanding the short time the little setter has been connected with University life, she shows that she has been watchful, and that she is able to assimilate college ways with the greatest ease. It is true that when shut up in a box with a plate of meat just outside a wire door and in plain view, the young representative of dogdom did not pull on the loop which would have allowed the door to fall, and placed the meat within reach—no, she did not pull the loop, she did something that many representatives of the P. S. B. have done since their freshman year. She slept through all the last half of the class period.
