THREE CONVICTS SOUGHT IN HILLS NEAR LAWRENCE
Men Thought to Be Fleeing Bandits Seen Between Twin Mound and Richland by Farmers
C. P. A. AIDS SEARCH
Three Counties Co-operate in Sending Patrols on Man Hunt
The sheriff's force of Douglas county and several Lawrence city policemen, assisted by the members of the Central Protective association were searching the country around Twin Mound and Richland, about 20 miles southwest of here, late last night following a report that three men in prison garb were shot in the courtyard at 7 o'clock, it was learned from the office of the Douglas county sheriff.
The sheriff's force from Shawne county had also been engaged in the search for the bandits late yesterday afternoon. Two city police of Lawrence also were engaged in the search.
The report was turned in by farmers halfway between Richmond and Twin Mound that the bandits were on foot near them. They also found that they were observed.
The country out in this section which is near the edge of the line is extremely rough and would afford excellent places for hunted persons to hide. It lies about 18 miles west of highway 73W and about six miles north of highway 50N. This is along the ridge between the Mariais des Cygne and the Kaw rivers. There are few highways immediately close to it, and these are mostly rough roads. Osage, Shawnee, and Douglas counties join in this vicinity.
The three men entered a small restaurant at Richland for a lunch late in the afternoon. The proprietor grew suspicious of the blue denim garb of the men and informed the sheriff of Shawnee county after they had left.
J. C. Michaels, a farmer just over the Douglas line, saw the men and called Sheriff Dunkley, later the sheriff of Shawne county called. Sheriff Dunkley sent several deputy sheriffs, police officers and members of the Central Protective Association to that vicinity.
Sheriff Dunkley said that the only thing they could do tonight is to throw a cordon around that country and try to prevent their getting out of the country. If they appear to be still here this morning, the Sheriff will ask the adjutant general for militiamen, and make a thorough search.
Mr. Dunkley thought it probable that the men had cut across country after their escape from Leavenworth and into Oklahoma, where they came into country south of Topeka.
Other bandits were supposedly seen in various parts of the country yesterday. A car was seen near Pleasanton early yesterday afternoon, bearing the same description as the Pontiac carrying the four men, believed to be some of the escaped convicts.
Four heavily armed men were seen at Paola, who were identified as convicts. At Onega five stores were looted of clothing and other wearing apparel by five men in two motor cars early yesterday morning. Omega is about 40 miles northeast of Topeka.
DRESSER IS FORMER STUDENT
Man Kidnaped by Two Convicts Friday Was Student Heir 1929-30
Lewis Dresser, who was kidnapped Friday morning by two of the seven escaping convicts from the state penitentiary at Lansing, and who was released yesterday morning at Pershing Okla, is a former student of the University, enrolled with advanced credits during the school term of 1929-30.
Dresser has been teaching at the Mission rural school in Leavenworth county with the intention of entering the University again in the fall. According to reports, the two convicts, believed to be Bob Brady and Jim Clark, entered Dresser School after having escaped Piper; to go to school, and held him captive for twenty-one hours while they drove his car to Oklahoma.
Before turning Dreser loose, the bandits took most of his money, and he asked his sister to wire him $10 to enable him to return home. He was too tired to reveal much of what had happened on the trip.
Clark and Brady are believed to be hiding in the bad lands of Oklahoma.
Nathan Milstein Might Be a Matinee Idol if He Weren't a Famous Violinist
Nathan Milstein, violinist, who will appear in concert at the University auditorium Wednesday evening as a part of the University Concert series, offers interest to students not only as a violinist but as a personality.
The young Russian artist displays some qualities which one would expect from a person in his profession, yet he also shows other traits which seem rather unusual for a concert violinist to possess.
Again, if Milstein weren't a great violinist, he might also be a bridge champion. One of the young man's little jokes is that it was bridge that drew him first to New York—contract bridge. When Milstein was at the beginning of his career, his manager remarked that he might make more money by playing bridge than by playing the violin. But that was many years ago!
If Milstein weren't a great violinist he might be a matinee idle. He is handsome, has stage personality, and an instinct for the theater. Meeting him, one notices the sensitive, mobile face, and the quick, engaging smile. A passport description would include: "Medium height, dark hair, dark eyes."
His most treasured possession is his violin, the valuable "Unico" Joseph Guarrierus, dated 1742, so-called because of its unique tone and appearance. The instrument was originally owned by a noble Hungarian family which was forced, after the war be-ware of financial reverses, to dispose of it.
Like many other artists, Nathan Milstein has his own pet superstitions. He always carries with him a watch which was given him in Russia instead of a fee during the Revolution. He wears on his finger a turquoise ring, his birtstone, presented him by a dear friend on an important date in his career, the night of his sensational Viennese debut.
When walking, he circles lamp posts on the right side; on crossing the street he makes a detour around a car to be sure he does not pass it on his left. Before going to a concert he considers it a bad omen if his room is not left in absolute order, with everything in its proper place in his bags and trunks, and all his luggage locked. It is particularly unlucky if his "carte d'identite" (identification card) from Paris, which he always keeps stuck in the back of the mirror of his dressing case, is at a crooked angle before he plays.

MEMORIAL UNION RECEIVES
PART PAYMENT ON PLEDGES
The last of the letters went out yesterday and collections are expected to come in faster hereafter. As soon as enough money is received, the new dance floor will be provided with ballet shoes. A new appropriated for the remodeling of the ballroom will not suffice for the purchase of these articles.
Student's Condition Still Critical LeRoy Weathered, m'36, of Arkansas City, who has been ill with pneumonia and kidney complications at the Watkins Memorial hospital, was still in a critical condition last night. Weathered has been in the hospital for 14 days.
Mechanically gifted, when he first came to America and was told that his tour opened as soloist under Stokwski with the Philadelphia orchestra, he brushed this information aside to ask if he would play in Schenectady. He wanted to see the General Electric plant.
Each time he goes to the Pacific Coast he spends much time in the Hollywood studios. He is enormously interested in the production of motion pictures, although the "talkies" are still a little hard for him to understand.

Scoring five field goals and a pair of free throws, Harrington, veteran guard, tied with Palph Graham, Kansas State forward, for high scoring honors with twelve points. It was the Jayhawker's timely shots that were responsible for the Kansas's early lead.
Final Argument on Question of Government Radio Control
Radio Debate Series Ended
The K.U.-Kansas State debate Friday afternoon brought to a close a series of seven debates on the question of radio control which has been broadcast over KFKU this week. Lyman Field, c'36, and Brill Hamwell, c'36, represented the University in Friday's debate, and James H. Rexroad and Charles Moore debated for Kansas State
The question debated Friday was: "Resolved, that the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control." Bramwell opened the argument for the affirmative by sketching a history of the development of radio in America and in England. "In America, capital pounced on radio when it was young," he said, "But in England, parliament saw the cultural possibilities of radio, and put it into government hands. Above all, America needs organization in radio," he said.
"Movies bring more objectionable material to the public than does the radio," speaker Mr. Rexroad, first negative speaker stated. "Does this mean that the government should control the movie industry?" he asked the Uni-team public opinion will weed out the objectionable programs," he added.
Mr. Field elaborated on the lack of organization in American radio. "We need a system based on a plan, not on commercial competition." "Capital has forced all the smaller stations with educational programs to the wall," he asserted.
Mr. Moore in his main speech pointed out that a change to the English system would necessitate a $12 tax on each receiving set. He maintained that freedom of speech by excluding members of the minority parties from the air.
Leslie Rutledge, regular announcer of KFKU, served as chairman of the dept.

Weather Fools Robins Into Believing That It's Spring
Mr. Boottman, paint up the canes. Mr. Groeceryman, lay in a supply of "wovenies" and steaks. Fellows, get out the blankets; for picnic season is just around the proverbial corner.
Although it is only the middle of January and finals are not even over, spring is nevertheless here. Six robins were digging for worms in the front yard of the Acacia house yesterday afternoon.

Students May Attend Dance
Benefit Affair Is Sanctioned By Two Student Councils
The Joint Committee of Student Affairs has authorized the party to be given for the Warm Springs Foundation in Georgia in view of the fact that it is for a nation-wide cause.
The dance will be held at the Eldridge hotel Jan. 30. The receipts from the tickets will all go to the foundation. Three rules of the committee have been set aside for the party; no benefit parties for other than school projects; no university parties open to the public; and parties are to only be held on Friday and Saturday.
The foundation was recognized largely because of the interest of President Roosevelt. He credits his recovery to his treatment there and because of these benefits the organization was founded and built. It was gradually built up through donations.
Harold Denton, president of the Men's Student Council last year, was down there last summer receiving treatment. He sent a telegram to Raymond Nichols praising the worth of the foundation.

In a game that was packed with the thrills of three scoring sprees and two rousing laughs, the University of Kansas cager defeated Kansas State College here last night 32 to 24 to take third place in the Big Six standings. It was the first time the Wildcats faced season, and the second victory in three starts for the Jayhawkers. They had defeated the Wildcats in two non-conference games earlier in the season.
Although Kansas took an early lead, Kansas State led at the half 16 to 15 almost entirely because of the efforts of Graham, forward, who ripped the net with shot after shot on his favorite three. Graham had made 12 of his team's 16 points, at the mid-period. He failed to score during the last half.
Vanek's Shots Sensational
Vanek's Shots Sensational
The teams played on even terms throughout a part of the last period, but one team scored at 20 all the Kansans pulled away with two quick goals by Wells and a pair of sensational shots by Vanek.
It was the play of Paul Harrington and Ray Ebling, a veteran guard and a sophomore forward, however, that kept the Kansans ahead in the scoring race until the closing minutes of the first half.
With both teams handling the ball uncertainly and missing scoring attempts, the game at first appeared to be an exhibition of slow basketball, but four minutes after the opening gun Ebbing dropped in a free throw when he was fouled by Hutchinson, Shaffer. In another play, he throws by Harrington, Kaplan captain. Harrington scored a goal on a sleeper play after taking a long pass from Ebbing to run the Kansas score to seven points before the Wildcats scored.
Weller Starts Aggie Scoring
Weller made the first Kansas State goal when the game was eight minutes old, but Ebling added two more goals. It was at this point that Graham opened the scoring spree that gave the Kansans no little worry. He dropped in two goals in rapid succession. Harrington stopped the forward's assault temporarily by himself scoring a long goal from the side of the court. Graham scored again, and Harrington it even with a field goal. The score was 15 to 8 for Kansas at that point.
Two goals by Graham, a long shot by Boyd and another goal by Graham almost as the half ended gave the Aggies their lead.
Score Often Tied
Ebling was fouled shortly after the last half opened and made good the free throw, but Stoner followed suit and the Wildcats took another 1-point lead. Wells scored a free throw to tie the score again, but Freeland broke loose with his only basket of the game on a follow shot. Harrington's long goal tied the score, but again the Agières took a lead on Hutchinson's free throw.
A charity toss by Ebling tied the score, and from there on out it was Kansas' game. Ebling scored a goal at the game in after the Kansas had sent it to the game. The Kansas tate got the last goal when less than two minutes remained to play.
Many "United" losses.
Play was a mixture of rough rushes and defense handling of the ball. Both teams missed numerous chances to score under the goal, and the shooting of free throws was especially poor. Kansas made but 6 of 6
