Spain Accuses Berlin of Using Blackmail Ways
LAWRENCE, KANSAS.WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 6. 1937
V
Recent Action of German Warships in Spanish Waters May Lead to Trouble
London, Jan. 5.—(UP)—The Spanish government at Valencia tonight publicly accused German of using “blackmail methods” in its international dealings and declared defiant that it “cannot accept them.”
The loyalists charged that recent actions of a German warship in Spanish waters were "likely to lead to the graveset complications," implying that they were ready to meet force with force. The tone of the statement was of a severity perhaps unmatched since the World War.
The declaration was delivered to Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden for transmission to the International Committee on Non-Intervention.
Spain's statement was in effect a public answer to the demand of Berlin that the cargo and a Spanish prisoner of the Rifle ship, Poles, be surrendered within three days. If they are not, Germany threatened to sell two Loyalist ships it has captured and give the proceeds to the rebels.
The Spanish embassy's statement said, in part:
"This manner of proceeding on the part of the German war navy stationed in Spanish waters is likely to lead to the gravest complications should the Spanish air or sail firmen upon the scene of such intrusion on the spot. Locate shiplays,) iterate to prevent the intrusion of the German army."

Merrill Day, formerly of Wentworth and now first yearing at KU., sets his own zero hour for leaving class when a professor is not on time. Day is of the opinion that the time allotted to professors to meet classes is three minutes after noon and five minutes for a five - hour class. We wonder how often he is present in his classes.
While sauntering in the corridors on the second floor of the Administration building yesterday we heard a chant which seemed to be eminating from an economics class. The words were: Happy New Year to you! We had been told to you! Several monotonies were more than doing their part.

John Paul, varsity dance manager and Sig Alph, is leading a double life. It seems that Paul desires to move out of the Sig Alph house but he isn't sure whether he is snorkked out and moved into an apartment with two Delta Chi's, and maintains a residence at both places. His intentions were to gradually vanish from the Sig Alph realm, but the mention here will undoubtedly put an end to a lengthy ordeal, and have to pay rent at only place.
It is reported that George Bowls, Beta, and Jane Heffner, Pi Phi, were married around December 16, but didn't announce it because they didn't want their folks to know. However, during vacation they received parental permission to look right before looking looking right they were married again or December 26. Twice married in the same month is a record to shoot at

Frank Merriam Wires Roosevelt For Intervention
Governor of California Sends Plea In Effort to Stop Strike
Sacramento, Calif., Jan. 5. (UP) Gov. Frank F. Merrigan telephoned Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt today, asking his personal intervention in the waterfront controversy that has paralyzed shipping on the western coast.
"This appeal is not made primarily in behalf of either side directly involved in the strike, but is presented in the interests of the general citi-zenhip of California and other states so vitally affected."
"It is my firm belief that your accomplishment and demonstrated ability in dealing with problems such as the one with which we are confronted can be brought to bear most happily in this instance.
Merrigan early today issued a statement criticizing leaders of both sides of the controversy for a situation that could lead to decay and millions to be lost.
"Prompted by the rapid spread of business and industrial dislocation caused by the continued deadlock between ship owners and striking maritime unions," Merriam said, "I urgently recommend your personal intervention in behalf of a speedy and efficient reconfiguration of shipping operations."
Family Awaits Next Move
Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 5. (UP)—The family of Charles (Chuck) Mattson, kidnapped Tacoma school boy, is convinced the boy still is alive, although he has been in the hands of a man many authorities believe to be asamanite for eight days, it was discloosed tonight.
Dr. Mattson Is Convinced His Boy I Still Alive
So certain are Dr. William W. Mattison and his wife that the boy will be returned to them safely that they have gathered together the 10-year-old boy's winter clothing and have added it to the bundle of $28,000 in old money in small amounts which they have ready for the kidnapper.
A friend of the family said that they fear Charles will be turned loose at dawn on a lonely country road, as was Charles Hunt Weyerhaefer, a playmate who was ransom for $290,000 a little more than a year ago.
When a gruff, manored man stole Charles a week ago Sunday night, the boy was wearing only a sweater and a pair of skin-skin shipper.

Practice Court
Ponders; Befuddles
Court Reporter
The concluding session of the student court trial which was begun recently opened with a bung jury. Eleven juju hung around for 15 minutes while the court clerk rounded on the twelfth.
When a fellow asks he is eternally grateful for a loan - look out! He ma, be right. At any rate, the defendant will take his law students' practice court was.
The counsels, following the hard session of the preceding day, opened the session by resting.
Judge Instructs
The judge announced he was about to instruct the jury. Then followed a 20-minute pause while the counsels went into a huddle and instructed the judge how to instruct the jury.
Order was restored by court order, the judge instructed the jury, and the trial was continued.
Through the haze of verbose perspifage and legal technicalities, there emergent presently, an idea of what the trial was all about. It seems that a certain the pin had been loaned and had thereafter been lost by the boor's hand. The case of determining on these three considerations, to-wait: Did the act of transferring the pin constitute a gift or a loan? If a loan, the theft of said pin did need negligence or not? If said act did constitute a loan, as alleged, and if said it was the result of negligence, what was the value of said pin?
Huge Pipes
During the intermission your reporter, having nothing better to do, gazed around. Presently his eyes it on huge pipes encircling the ceiling on three sides of the court room, and he was reminded about Madame Tussaud's museum. Auditorium stage, exclaimed, "No robes! Not even one pipe! Terrible!"
Reflection set in. Possibly the indicated statement that law is a pipe and then someone dreams, a report can mention that the jury was two to one for the plaintiff.
Then came the jury! The verdic was, "Not guilty."
was the star of the game and tied for high scoring honors with Prale of Kansas with 12 points.
The Wildcats built up a 14-3 margin before Durand, who was inserted into the line-up for Bosilev, made the second goal for Karaas. Twelve minutes elapsed as Durand scored the second goals made by the Jayhawkers.
Goals by Praille and Nobre brought the total for Kansas to 9 at the half. Schrey made a long shot from the side of the court to finish the scoring for the Basket quarter and out of the half with Baker leading 16-9.
Kansas started Durand, Dugal, Noble, Prall, and Rogers at the beginning of the second half. Bakers' defense intact throughout the entire game.
at the beginning of the second half the Kansas cagers started the scoring again to cut down the Baker lead. The Jayhawk scoring spree was short-lived as Beiser sank another long shot and Rudolph converted two charity scores on a foul by Noble to run the count up to 20-13. After six minutes Pralle ran out from the free kick in the court to boost the Kansas total to 15. Goals by Schrey and Beiser ran the score up again for a 10-point lead after ten minutes in the second half had been played.
Kansas started to find the range again and two goals by Praille and free throws by Golay and Praille put Kansas within striking distance of victory. At that time, both teams missed to get ragged and both teams missed many close shots.
With two minutes to play the Mt. Oder cagars put on a final spurt, but the lead of the Bakersfield man was 10-6. But the game was one by Rogers and one by Schmidt, along with free throws by the same men ran the final score for Kansas to 27. Beiser finished the scoring for Oklahoma with a free throw on Holiday's foul.
The Baker team continued their previous practice of using only five men and this time after three tries the Wildcats emerged on top of the league. They were joined by star of the game, but the entire Baker team performed in great style. For Kansas, Praille led the scoring with 12 points. Noble was the best the Jayhawkers could offer in the way of a defense against the Wild-
