No. 89
Sorority Officials Given Information on Taxation Case
Questions Which May Be Asked at Hearing Presented by Max Hamilton
COVER MANY TOPICS
The house president and treasurer of the 13 national sororities on the Hill held a meeting last night to discuss her plans. Ms. Vance will be coming hearing before C. E. Vance, who was appointed master by the Supreme Court in 2009, for evidence in the fraternity tax case.
The hearing, according to Gorrill and Asher, Lawrence attorneys, who are representing Douces college students, held in Lawrence, but as yet no date for the hearing has been set. The hearing will probably continue sometime the next two weeks.
Max Hamilton, a student in the School of Law, here last year, and a law student now working at Maritime Stone, McClure, Webb, Johnson, and Ohm, attorneys for the Greek organizations, asked to interview questions which will probably be asked if they are called as witnesses at court. The students answered the questions given to each woman.
No Men's Meeting Planned
Chandler Jarvis, c23, president of the men's fraternity house presidents association, said today that he knew of no such meeting being planned for the fall.
the questionnaire given to the sorority women last night was concerned principally with queries concerning the financial status of the organizations their rules concerning study period and graduate and literary requirements of the organizations.
Finance Also Considered
Some of the questions were: "Is your fraternity organized for financial aid?" How was the money raised with what you gave? What is the contribution of your chapter house, and the furnishings thereof? What is the total mortgage indebtedness on your property?
Finance Also Considered
The several queries pertained to the process of managing the fraternity, whether by house notes monthly house bills, dues or donations. Four of the questions concerned the employees of the organizations whether there were house members table waiters or other company employees.
Several queries requested information concerning the requirement or environment for university members in literary and scientific pursuits, athletics, and other University activities, whether there was a need to meet the needs of the organizations living at the house to enforce a high standard of attainment in scholarship, university activities, and academic programs; generally, whether the house was always open for the use of the University in entertaining and housing visiting speakers, instructors, debating teams.
Eight questions aim at information concerning the housing capacity of the fraternity house, and the number and classification of persons living there. One question asks "Should you not an attempt to teach through the fraternity house to teach table manners and other forms of social etiquet not covered by the university curriculum?"
Concerns Study Halls
Answers to several questions about scholastic rules of the organizations whether they maintained regular study periods, by whom the study period were supervised, and whether they were compulsory or not, were re-tested.
Two questions concerned fireside forums. Asking if "what is known a Fireside Forums are held at your fruity territory" demands the pair of accomplishments.
The issue in the case is whether the Greek organizations can qualify themselves as dormitories or literary societies sufficiently well prepared from taxation. Both dormitories and literary societies are not on state tax rolls by state law.

Jensen Writes on Taxation
New Book Slows Property Tax Development and Adjustments
The enormous volume of periodical literature upon the question of property taxation has been compiled and organized by Professor Jensen P. Jensen, of the department of economics. The book entitled, "Property Taxation in the United States" was published last month by Professor Jensen, of the department of economics, but this copy has just been received by Professor Jensen.
Professor Jencks' work shows the development of this tax and the administrative costs associated with tax and its progressive disintegration into its component parts. Professor Jenks also presents the adjustment necessary to achieve a sound tax system.
The administrative process of local assessment, central control of the assessments, local and state equalization of costs and deliquency we all treat in detail.
Another book, "Problems of Public Affairs," is a memoir of the Crowth Forest Social Services Professor Jensen in 1924. This book was edited by Prod. Selma Eidridge of Fordham University.
Police Obtain Confession in Midland Theater Blas
O. Dals of Sound Projectionists' Association Are Arrested
Jayne Lake, City, Jan. 13. —UPR) Emerald Bay, Jr., 34, president of the Sound Projectionists Association today condensed, according to the police, that he planned the bombing of the Midland University one man was killed Monday night.
Bitterness toward the International Alliance of Stage and Theatrical Employees, a rival union caused him to call himself his purported start-up statement.
In his confession he implicated E. M Evans, 40, business agent for the association. Confronted with this confession Evans was willing to break his silence and tell all he knew. He advised police and prepared the expensive, police said.
The International organization had prevented him from getting a job and he resolved on the bombing as a way to be an operator at the Madrid theater.
Evans, Lame, and R. H. Dean, 29, former secretary of the union, were arrested after John Edward Gilbert (1843-1930), who had he taken the bomb to the theater, thinking it was a bottle of whisky. The man also took him, to him, one of the others.
Lime confirmed Gillespie's story and said Gillepie did not know he was there. He said the crowd had a few minutes after the crowd had left the theater Monday night. A negro named Dionisio was there.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1932
Historians have agreed that delayed censorship usually defends its own purpose and invariably fails to prevent it. They have also ignored even the Chinese telegraph authorities sensed the disadvantage of a secret censorship. They promised to inform me of any changes made by censors in my press messages before they were released.

Terrific Storms and Heavy Snow Damage in West

The telephone operator worked 30 minutes attempting to set up a connection to call for aid. Finally she found a wire and notified Wellington officers, who were unable to help the riders who passed on to Wichita and three others went to Belle Plaine.
The rigors of possible airplane attacks, cold sleeping quarters and bandits were tangible dangers. The wife of the membership, conducted by officials, took them on a journey wood to their own home, a more elusive adversary.
AIR TRAFFIC HALTED

Turning methodically to the fire station, the trio obtained a ladder and a hose. They used a woodstock guard the third mounted the ladder and tried to burn out the electric alarm on the front of the bank with a hammer. The bank was apparently short circuited and sent up a clamor. As residents responded the bandits entered their car and fed west
Attempted Robbery Fails
The hands, two of whom were roughly dressed in unionals and the third shrouded in an overcoat, drove back to the door. The man slept. They seized Marshal Robert Bennet, then exchange and cut the wires their intention to isolate the town went awry when he locked a single wire in Wellington.
Belle_Plime, Jan. 13—(UP) Three bandits seized this village early today, bound and gagged the night marshal cut all-outgoing telephone wire to break into the Valley State Bank. Their efforts to disable the bank's automatic alarm was bungled, however, and the bandits were surrounded citizenly to congregate.

A report of false tales, constantly poured forth from the lie-factories in Manchuria, during the Sino-Japanese war, told Mr. Deng that hundreds of a daily newspaper, had the correspondents believed the rumor-dealers. Conscientious correspondents limited themselves to reporting what they saw and heard, the few unimpeachable sources.
Murchurian cities, particularly Harbin, were hotbeds of rumor. Russian emigrants, Chinese and Japanese of origin, contributed to correspondents sensual news tips.
The chief scanners carefully attempts, any defense. They invited me to lunch, apologized profusely and promised to come back later. I did. Later I learned that dispatches were being matted and distorted even after they left the censors' hands. From then on I transmitted my muses to the attic, but less rapid and direct route.
Another outstanding instance was when I got an interview with General Tumon, the Japanese commander. He told me that he was sending a Japanese infantry regiment and a cavalry brigade back to Mukden at once. This was the last of three military forces of the Japanese. The Harbin censor crossed out that part of General Tumon's interview and said if the Japanese were sending in fresh troops at Tsaitkai. By a stroke of good luck this change was detected before 18th February.
But all of a correspondent's worries in Mancheburie were not with censorship. The police did not order it. It required hours of work with a fine-tooth comb to separate fact from fiction.
In addition to all of their other troubles and more amusing, was the espionage to which newspaper correspondents were submitted.

"As an experiment we are planning not to enroll students before the College Law program." Paul B. Lawson, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences,
In order to enable seniors to enroll in the courses of their choice before they are closed, the administration will allow all who were enrolled as seniors to enroll Tuesday morning. Those whose enrollment letters come on Tuesday will be allowed to enroll Tuesday morning; those whose enrollment letters come on Wednesday will be allowed to enroll Tuesday; and all other seniors will enroll according to the regular letter scheme.
"We would like to make advancing and enrolling two different things," said Dean McClure, the chief counsel to see their advisers before the time for enrollment in order that they can complete the course programs. The enrollment floor, with its noise and confusion is no place to sit.
He said that only the mechanical ac-

Americans May Escape Death Penalty in Hawaii
Evidence
Holbrook, Jan. 13 — (UP) Four Americans charged with the murder of a Hawaiian may escape the death penalty if they plead constitutional evidence, police admitted today as a special session of the legislature to investigate the so-called reign killers.
Police Admit Lack of Other Than Circumstantial Evidence
The accused Americans will be tried by a jury of mixed blood, it appeared certain, for Secretary Adams' approval of a civilian trial removed the possibility of a naval court marital. If the death penalty cannot be demanded, the death penalty cannot be demanded.
Police admitted the Hawaiian might have been kidnapped to frighten him and killed. She is on a boarding trip on Mrs. Thalia Masse, wife of Lieut. Thomas H. Masse, one of the officers.
Authorities admitted they also lack eye witnesses to the killing. They claimed identification of Lieutenant Massie as one of two men who rented a house in which Kukahawai was kidnapped. Other evidence is circumstantial.
