TO HOLD SECOND SESSION AS TRIAL BECOMES A MAZE
Conflicting Testimony Given; Recess Decided in Effort To Straighten Out Affair
DENIES BOMB CHARGE
The trial, before the newly organized student court, of August Annueberg, accused of setting off a tear gas bomb at the recent Peace Mobilization, was reopened.
Yesterday afternoon was spent in questioning and cross-examining witnesses, leaving the court in a maze or conflicting evidence. As a result, the court decided to continue the trial in endeavor to straighten out the evidence
John Perry, witness for the investigating committee of the Men's Student Council, positively identified Anne Bergerson as the person who held his hand on the bomb, just before the gas began to enrage. On cross-examination, he said that he did not recall the kind of clothing that the defendant had put that his identification was positive.
Leland Quanties, defense attorney, in his opening plea, set forth the statement that an attacker had concealed on his person and that his client (Aumelm) arrived at the scene of the bomb throwing, after the incident occurred. He brought several witness statements.
Logan Lane, 136, acted as attorney for the Men's Student Council.
Anneberg Wore Sweater
Howard Moore, a peace officer, testified that he saw Albuquerque three or four minutes before the incident occurred an atheist was wearing a sweater which would be incapable of concealing it. bomb. Eward Hale, on the stand, teased the accused toward the bombing scene, seconds before the incident occurred. The defense pointed out that if such were the cas it would have been impossible for th defendant to commit the act. Richard Cook, who was walking behind Anne berg at the time, gave evidence corrections to that of Hale, and the peace of officers.
Jane Bake, second witness for the investigating committee, testified that she had talked to the defendant before the incident occurred and that he had made a claim of having been abused, stayed around and if anything will happen." She testified that upon asking Annebeg why he was at the mobilization he answered. "If it were last year, I would have been here to throw firecrackers." Upon this evidence, Lane, the prosecutor, attempted to prove that Annebeg set off the firecrackers at last year's peace strike. However, the defense brought a witness who claimed that he was the perpetrator of last year's firecrackers. On the stand, Annebeg denied that he had put off the bomb and that he knew anything about it beforehand.

"We will face the situation with the usual ingrudience," stated Joseph Pryor, c36, editor of the Sour Owl, yesterday in response to the wing-clipping handed out to the astute old bird in the form of a threatened bond forfeiture by University officials, unless the future is better.

possely sophisticated publications, it is rather mild. After all, it isn't supposed to appeal to the subcribers of the 'Farm and Home Magazine'."
Charles Police, c38: "I do not believe that it as risque as humor publication on other campuses."
Khel Sene, c.37. "The Sour Owl is not obscure. However, some of the comments printed could be made to upstate New York, the reader of the reader. It really is a matter of the attitude of the reader. I am not able to comment on the jokes as I never did."
Fred Pralle, c.39: "Practically every university in the country has a publication similar to the Owl."
Not Obscene
Kathryn Goldsmith, c38: "I only read it occasionally. I've seen better and worse."
Bill Downs, 'cune!': "I think there is definitely a place for the less restrained type of humor. We laugh at it all through our lives; in our literary class and in our modern novels. Why didn't we laugh at it in the Sour Owl?"
Prentice M. Quiring: "I do not believe that the Owl is any more rique than the Chipmunk, and an ample one might refer to some of the jokes in the Engineer's magazine. As
I see it, the Owl is punished to provide the students with light, entertaining reading, and with this as its goal I think it serves its purpose."
Dyche Museum Will Open Thursday To Show Dioramas
Building Opened Temporarily To Show Work of Frazier; Exhibits Are Deteriorating
Six dioramans, made by "Poco" Fracarier, will be on display in Dyche Museum of Natural History, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m., according to Dr. H. H. Lane, curator c the Museum. The public is invited.
A gift from an anonymous friend of the University made the construction of this sculpture scenes made by the combination of sculpturing and painting and vividly portray pre-historic life on the plains of Tibet, ago before man inhabited the continent.
LOOKING IN MOV. 1922
Dyche School was closed to the public Nov. 30, 1922, open orders from the Board of Regents after an investigation showed the floors of the building were unsafe. Specimens valued at a half-a-million dollars were moved into available storage space and rooms on the Hill.
Closed in Nov.. 1932
With the funds appropriated by the state legislature and a grant under the PWA, the old floors were torn out and new ones, en-reforcements with a steel frame.
Displays Are Damaged
Although the present storage conditions are the best obtainable, the displays are deteriorating rapidly. It has been impossible to get the dust-proof moisture-proof storage which the delicate specimens demand. The exact value of the damage cannot be determined, but it will have been moved and unpacked.
An appropriation of approximately $47,000 is necessary to finish the building and move and remount the exhibits.
Before the building was condemned, the first panorama—that is, a display of specimens in their natural habitat—was the first of its kind in the world. Other museums have adopted the idea, and it is now a common display artifact. It also housed many rare and unusual specimens of scientific value.
When an additional appropriation makes it financially possible, the specimens will be moved back into the building and the displays will be set up. The community will respond to the public as a completely modern museum of natural history.

ALLEN RESIGNS
HIS OLYMPIC POST
IN SUDDEN MOVE
Sudden Action Is Based on Political Bartering and Unsportsmanlike Attitude in A.A.U.
LETTER TO MEANWELL
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director of athletics at the University of Kansas, today announced he had resigned as director of the American basketball team which is to compete in the Olympic games at Berlin, in August.
Resignation to Meanwell
The action was taken, Dr. Allen said, because he was "firmly convinced of the umpstammallike attitude of the AAU members of the Olympic bas-relief group, because he was "sickened by the deceitful political bartering of the group."
His resignation was sent to Dr. W.E. Meanwell, University of Wisconsin, chairman of the "Committee of 33" which has charge of American participation in the Olympic basketball competition.
This committee is made up of representatives of the A.A.U. and of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association. It selected Dr. Allen as director at a meeting some months ago, and after that he was named Olympic team in New York a month ago, named coaches and a manager. Dr. Allen was chosen because of his work in gaining recognition for basketball as an Olympic sport, and for his outstanding record as a coach—18 championships in 25 years of coaching.
Director Riding Free
In his formal statement, Dr. Allen points out that the Seventh District games, and the inter-district games, in both of which Kansas participated, netted the Olympic travel fund nearly $8,000, while the $6,000 revenue from the National A.U.T. tournament in Denver went to pay annual administrative fees for New York and Chicago. "The A.U.T. organization is filled with a group of northeastern directors who enjoy riding free," declared Dr. Allen.
Continuing, he said: "The disgraceful post-Olympic tournament game at Topena, between the Universal Piccadilly and the Olympic pavilion, phasized how precarious is the position of the Olympic basketball when left in the hands of technical amateurs but actual专业-sophomores. In justice to the Oilers' squad and their coach, the players were in New York and elsewhere, they conducted themselves as gentlemen."
A.A.U. Ground Own Axe
Dr. Allen began his statement as follows: "In explanation of this action I desire to make the following comment: While working with Romeyney and James, I am in Ohio State, on the Olympic Committee of the National Association of Basketball coaches in order to place basketball on the Olympic calendar, I found satisfaction enough in the achievement of this task. However, the collegiate group serving on the Joint Committee with the A.A. U. members saw fit to honor me with the appointment as Director of Olympic Management at A.A.U. group ground their own ase."
Fifty Italian Soldiers Aid Stranded Americans
Washington, D. C., May 5—(UP)—Fifty Italian soldiers and two officers tonight came to the rescue of Americans, stranded again in their compound at Addis Ababa, the State Department was informed by wireless.
The Italia raced across the conquered but still riotious city, after request from the French william William M. Cramp at the American legation. His summons followed a new attack on the legation which, however, he and his men were able to repulse them.
Cramp's message to the State Department was that he put the captain, lieutenant, and private who answered him on the night before he landed for the remainder of the night.
The Italians informed him that the nearest group of Marshall Pietro Badogho's occupational force in the Ehiogho was aix and a quarter mile away.
Cramp's latest message concluded, "Trip that by morning the situation will be completely under control. The patient will calm with only an occasional shot."
