Representatives Vote To Consider Mortgage Bill
Final Action Is Possible by Middle of the Week;
Passage Unlikely; Begin Debate Tomorrow
Washington, May 11.—UP) The House of Representatives, in 40 minutes, voted to override the administration today, and voted to 229 to 135 to consider the 2-billion-dollar Frazer-Lemke farm mortgage attacked by opponents as inflationary.
A moment later, by voice vote, it adopted a rule for a six-hour debate starting tomorrow. A final vote is possible late Wednesday or Thursday.
The shock of their sudden and clear-cut preliminary victory left the leader of the Frater-Lemke blue gasp. They had predicted failure for the measure.
But even if the House finally approves the bill, it has to pass the Squire where leaders, anxious for adjournment and with administration tax and relief appropriation bills still on the calendar, must be persuaded by sideralization. Beyond the Senate lies President Roosevelt's veto power if he should decide to use it.
The bill proposes to offer every farmer the change to refinance any mortgages he may have on his land at 1½ per cent interest and 1½ per cent amortization. This means that a farmer with a $1000 mortgage may have it re-finned for $30 a year by the government, taking 74 years to pay it off.

About time last week for the KuKu initiation instructions were given the incoming members concerning what they were to bring for the ceremonies. Chuck Lyon, one of the men to be honored, carefully prepared himself for the ceremony, and he brought very large cylindrical objects to the scene. Arrived there, it was found that Lyon had misread or misheard the orders and had appeared with four empty bottles rather than four paddles as he did when the ceremony began, thought that the KuKu's were getting very magnanimous if they were going to fill that many bottles for him.
The weekend came to a close with vocal chords, tired feet and swelled heads, to say nothing of cotton stuffing. We were told that the visitors of last week had gone. The inter-fraternity sing was very impressive, the winners singing every bit of applause they received. Some training must have gone in on these num-

Suzanne Sawyer, that myfitting coed, who had many people fooled, made her appearance in actuality in the 1970s. Her husband, Karen City Star. Mrs. Sawyer is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Neal Suarez of Kansas City. The Suzanne that the University knew was a petite girl, whose life was marred by the fettitious character was carried in these columns before some enthralling soul found that she did not exist. It was pleasant, therefore, to see Ms. Suarez's life, more old than she isn't over a few months old.
Marrice Cook, the boy who told his professor that he could not take a quiz because his wife was going to have a baby, must have found fatherhood too much for him while at the Gamma Phi house the other night. Cook put in his chair, and she got up to get a date. No sooner had he crossed the threshold than he fainted. The girls, with their motherly instincts, promptly took carr of the situation in an orderly fashion. All those present heaved and groomed, but gave the limp walk they took. They were rounded by pillows and glasses of lemonade and he finally came to.

SUPREME COURT ACQUITS ANNEBERG IN BOMB CASE
Student Judicial Body Reaches Decision After Discounting Statement of Piercey
LYONSWRITESOPINION
In the first case to come under its jurisdiction, the newly organized Men's Student Council Supreme Court arbitrated against him in setting off the tear gas bomb at the Peace Mobilization meeting April 22. John Pierce's statement that he saw unburned stooping over the tear gas bomb on September 16, arriving at its decision of not guilty
Notarized Statement Introduced
The Student Council, after its effort to connect Anneberg with setting off the bomb, attempted to show Anneberg how to disperse the mobilization attempt to disperse the mobilization.
Notarized Statement Introduced
The council attempted to show that Amanda was the primary affair at last year's Peace Mobilization meeting, however the defendant offered a notarized statement to the court and then down set off the firecrackers last year.
The supreme court's decision, written by Chief Justice Charles R. Lyon and concurred in by the four associates, recognized that Anneberg may have had knowledge of the incident in advance, but in view of the uncorroborated evidence of the one witness whose testimony directly connected the defendant with the setting off of the fire, it was unfair to put the reality. The decision of the court.
"In this case, the Men's Student Council of the University of Kansas, has charged one August Anneberg, a student, with having set off a tear gas canister, and held 'in front of Fowler Shops, on the campus, on the morning of April 22, 1038. The side question to be debated did not appear to the defendant did set off the candle.
First of all, let us summarize the testimony.
On the part of the Men's Student Council, one John Piercey testified to having seen the defendant stopped over the candle with his hand on it. He was unable to describe the clothing worm by the defendant, his appearance, or the candle itself. The witness seemed certain in his own mind that it was the defendant whom he saw.
One Jane Baker testified that the defendant told her, shortly before the incident occurred that she had better knowledge of what happened, or words to that effect.
Baker Testifies
B. R. Hayes later testified that the defendant was connected with a similar incident a year ago when some students were set off at a similar meeting.
Bob Robinson, a Kansan reporter, testified to having called the defendant on the evening of the 22nd, and asking for a statement about defendant's having thrown an object off the candle. The defendant at that time refused to make a statement.
This comprised the whole of the evidence submitted by the Men's Student Council.
On West Side of Crowd
On the part of the defendant, he testified as to his own actions on the morning in question. According to his

For his volume of vera, titled "Strange Hollowes," Robert P. Tristram wrote in 1854: "A Dream for the Soul of a Man," wood (gight), author of "dick's Delight" was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1920.
Anneberg Commends Student Court Decision
August W. Anneberg, defendant in the recent tear gas bomb case tried before the student court recently, made the follo-
"The function of the Student Supreme Court is the determination of guilt from the evidence presented to that court, a case never heard in doubt could never have been in doubt.
"While the impression indicated by the court during the trial was unfavorable, the verdict has justified my confidence in the integrity of the men composing the court, and has set at rest the question of personal prejudice.
August W. Anneberg
Corroborating the testimony of the defendant, the two police officers each testified that they saw the defendant at the time and place the defendant was standing. They testified a black swister as the one he was wearing and each stated that he did not see anything about his person that could have been a tear gas gas bottle. Neither believed he could have had been in prison without it being seen by them.
"That the court maintained in their decision an impartial, impersonal, judicial attitude in the face of all rumors propaganda, and other radical forces, is a new handmark in the administration at the University of Kansas.

Talked to Defendant
testimony, he was on the west side of the crowd talking to one Dick Cook another student. While there he saw and was seen by two officers of the Lawrence Police Department. This was from 3 to 5 minutes before the setting of the police chase along the north side of the crowd where he waved to one Edward Habe and then walked on east toward the sidewalk. Before reaching the sidewalk he noticed the gas from the candle about 10 feet south and a little west. He rushed over but before he got there the candle was kicked across the street.
One Browne, who is not a student,
offered in testimony a statement sworn
to before a notary public that he set off
the firecrackers last year.
asked to Defendah.
Dik Gok next testified that he had been talked into defending at the place and time defendant told of being with Cook, and then when the defendant walked east, Cook followed him at a distance of about 6 or 1 feet, and could see him most of the time until after the cake was set off.
Next, Habel testified that he passed the defendant at the place and time mentioned by the defendant, and waved to Habel. Habel testified that took about three or four steps after waving to the defendant when he heard the commotion of the crowd as they left the scene of the escaping gas from the cake.
Discussion on Testimony This pretty well sums up the material testimony offered by the party involved.
This court must have its decision on the above testimony alone and in order to find the defendant guilty the court must be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that he did the act complained of before charging him with guilt.
First, we will discard that testimony which does not have a direct bearing on the incident. Miss Baker infers that the defendant knew of the incident in advance. Because we infer that he knew of the incident in advance does not however lead us to
(Continued on page 4)
The defendant's testimony placed run at some distance from the candle, waving to a friend at about the time it was set off. His testimony standing alone, might of course be questioned. However his testimony is corroborated very well, by the testimony given by four other witnesses.
Testimony Corroborated
The candle was offered as evidence, and was of a circular shape, about 6 inches in diameter, and about 3 inches high; about the size and half the height of the candle. The logical that an instrument of such shape and size, and bright green in color, could have been carried by the defendant without having been observed is impossible. Even in it had been wrapped it
believe that he committed the act. In regard to the testimony that he was connected with last year's incident we feel that this again only raises the possibility of a retaliation with this year's episode and in rebutted by contrary evidence.
We have then, the testimony of five people, placing the defendant in such

Farm Problems To Be Topic Tonight At Last Forum
William Jardine, Former Agricultural Secretary, May Disclose Republican Platform Plank
Dr. William M. Jardine, former United States secretary of agriculture, and for the past two years president of the University of Chicago, he developed the farm situation at the ninth and last of the series of student forums in the ballroom at 8:15.

Dr. Jardine has traveled extensively, and has written numerous papers on the subject of agriculture. In 1818 after a visit to France, he attended college at Kansas State College, he was appointed president of that institution. Having served as secretary of agriculture under Coolidge from 1925 to 1929, he was later appointed minister to Egypt.
