UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXII NUMBER 53 Fallen Utility Czar Acquited by Jury On Fraud Charges Samuel Insull, Son, and 15 Others Freed From Alleged Misuse of Mails 2 HOURS FOR VERDICT One chapter in the long fight between Samuel Inault and the United States government ended yesterday afternoon when the former utilities magnate, his son, and 15 co-defendants, were accused of charges of using the mafs to defraud The jury's verdict was announced by John B. Lent, jury foreman after only a little more than two hours deliberation. It fulfilled Iain's altruity prophecy as the jurors filed out "I'll give them two hours to bring in a verdict." The federal government charged Insul and his co-partners with cheating thousands of investors out of $160,000,000 in the proceeds from its investments and prospects through the mail concerning the condition of Corporation Securities Company, an Insul holding company. Two indictments still menace the legal safety of Samuel Insul. The one charging embezzlement, comes up for trial in a state court in January. The other is a federal charge of concealing assets in a bankruptcy. This second federal charge was mainly intended to extradite Insula from Europe, as an indictment under mail fraud charges is not extraditable. Government officials expressed doubt as to whether this charge will be prosecuted. Insult and his co-defender, if they had been found guilty, would have been liable to a term of five years and a time of $5,000. There were 23 counts carrying a maximum of 125 years and fines of $125,000. Samuel Insull wept when the verdic was returned. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1934 "This is just what I expected," he remarked as he shook hands with all the jurors. Organize Discussion Club Student Organizations to Argue Socia and Political Affairs Some of the women who have been following the 54-day trial became almost hysterian after the acuittal. Mrs Insull, who had attended practically all of the court sessions, was not present yesterday afternoon, however.

A fire in the Memorial Union building yesterday afternoon, caused by a motor vehicle collision, the building just as the Kansas-Michigan State game was drawing to an end. The motor which caused the fire is located in a storeroom near the north entrance of the Union fountain. As no one had a key to the storeroom, the fire broke out on the door. Considerable smoke penetrated the building, but the broken panel was the only damage done. During the last few minutes of the game, football fans tried to watch both the game and the Memorial Union building attaching the most attention. Conference Grid Champions to Be Decided Thursday Aggies Favored to Defeat Nebraska; Jayhawk Victory Will Place Kansas Fourth SOONERS CINCH THIRD BIG SIX STATISTICS Standings of the Team Nehraku W L T O Kansas State 4 4 0 Oklahoma 2 1 0 Iowa State 1 5 1 Kansas 0 2 0 Kansas State's claims on the Big Six football championship for the 1934 season will be settled at Lincoln Thursday when the Wildcats and Cornhuskers, both undefeated in conference play, may host a game that may dethrone the Nebraskans who have held the first place trophy since 1930. At the same time, the pair of teams on the lower end of the conference standings will be fighting it out at Columbia, with both Kansas and New York yet to get their first Big Six victory. Kansas 6, Michigan State 6 Nebraska 13, Missouri 6 Oklahoma 9, Arkansas 4 Oklahoma 0, Oklahoma A&M 0 Kansas vs. Missouri at Columbia Kansas vs. Oklahoma at Columbia Authors or critics of national repute will act as judges. Every two years the Quill Club offers prizes for the out-undergraduate short story of the year. Further information may be obtained by writing the High Chancellor, Dr. John D. Cooke, University of Southern California, Los Angeles. The Aggies from Manhattan will all-mask rule as favorites on the strength of comparative scores at least. The Waldorf team run all over the Iowa State team at Manhattan yesterday to trounce them 20 to 0, while the Cornhakers were only able to eke out a 7 to 6 win over the Cyclone at Lincoln earlier in the season. On comparative scores, the Aggies hold a substantial margin with a 13 to 0 victory against Nebraska's 3 to 0 score. Winning manuscripts will be printed in the Parchment, the Quill magazine of the University, on 15, 1935, and winners will be announced as soon as possible after May 1, 1935. Manuscripts will not be considered unauthorized. Copies can be sent to the High Chronicle of Quill, Mrs. Ethelyn M. Hartwick, 511 Broadway, Tacoma, Washington. Missouri's cellar eleven threw a scarf into the overconfident Husker ranks at Lincoln by holding the Nebraskas tight, and the touchdown themselves in the third period. The champions came back with an aerial attack in the last quarter to overcome the Tiger threat 13 to 7 but the opponent still had suffered some bad moments. Kansas has a chance to rise to fourth place in the conference standings with a victory in the Turkey Day game at Columbia. With a record of two games lost and two tied, the Joukhovans are now in the percentage column and a victory would send them above the Cycles. The Liaodesman can expect plenty of competition from a scrapy Tiger eleven however, since the Missourians can raise themselves to a tie with the Jacksonville they should some through with a win. The Quill club was originally organized at the University by Prof. E. M. Hopkins. The third Edwin M. Hopkins Quil prize of $50 will be awarded to the undergraduate of any American college that submits the best short story during the year 1843-45. This contest is by the American College Guil Club. Members of the club wished to honor Edwin M. Hopkins, professor of English, thus they named the award the Edwin M. Hopkins Quill prize. Oklahoma and Iowa State have finished their Big Six season's, the Sooners a week ago. While Iowa State's final position is yet in doubt, the Sooners have a grip on third place that cannot be challenged and will finish in that position regardless of the outcome of other games. Edwin M. Hopkins Award to Be Given for Third Time Offer Short Story Prize Coeds Puff and Pant In Stiff Collars And Tails Don't be alarmed. The recipient of this unmaidenly call was no doubt one Puff Pant From Friday night, unoccupied to stiff collars, recalcitrant ties, and unmanageable collar buttons, coats, struggled to master in one evening. "Hello—aren't you ready yet? Just about? Well, step on it. I've been ready half an hour." Despite the collars and ties, however, the dance started off in good style, with a long skirt. Strange to relate, there was room enough on the floor to dance. It must have been the absence of the star-line, that spread out over the ballroom on regular vignette nights. Another noticeable phenomenon was the absence of complaints about trampled dancing harriers, or the ladies who will steal The coeds danced undisturbed by masculine interruptions. It was a cool night, and the men of the hill seemed to elicit the礼s of a dip in Potter's lake. Besides the best-dressed couple, who were very attractive indeed, others deserve mention. Maniquet (Degg) was a well-known military officer. Tux Ruth Harris in a uniform military was very dashing, and Elved Wall in a similar suit was one of the more menacing gentlemen.

Harvard officials Friday declined a proffered scholarship from Matthew T. Mellon, nephew of Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury. HARVARD OFFICIALS DECLINE GERMAN SCHOLARSHIP OFEI Last spring the Harvard corporation declined a $1000 scholarship offered by Dr. Hanafstanz, a Harvard alumni, for a year's study in Germany. Mellon's offer for a similar period of study, carried $500. The reason in both cases for the decline was that the students fear that the men who offered the scholarships were Naui or Nasl agents. "The fact is that I was merely trying to replace this scholarship so that some deserving Harvard student could study in Germany. The real loser seems to be the student," said Mellon in regard to the matter. - Col. Adna G. Clarke, 197, is a profes sor in service administration; at the Uni versity of Hawaii.

On the last play of the first hall, Ole Ncornan intercepted a State pass on the Kansas 2-yard line and to a pass station started by a pass interception run down to the Kansas by Boundarytaker.
