Raymond Robins, Social Economist, to Speak Tonight
Man of Wide Experience Is Also a Lecturer of Magnetic Character
"Col. Raymond Robins is one of the most brilliant and inspiring speakers that has come to the University campus recently," was the comment of Chancellor E. H. Lidley this morning; conversation spank at the Auditorium tonight on "I Believe in the People."
Col. Raymond Robine of Chicago social economist, industrial arbitrator, and student of public affairs, will speak in the University auditorium tonight at 8 p.m. on the topic, "I Believe in the People."
Colonel Robins' address tonight is one of a series being given while on a three month tour under the nurses of the Citizens Committee of One Thousand for Law Observation and Enforcement, Carlton M. Sherwood, of New York, executive secretary of the Citizens' Committee of One Thousand for Law Observation, and extension secretary of the International Society of Christian Endeavor is accompanying Mr. Robins on this tour but will not speak here.
Interesting background Raymond Robins has an interesting background in the world of practical affairs and daily toll. He was born in Florida in humble circumstances, and moved to West Virginia, journeyed on the boise beams to Colorado to become a silver miner, and after studying law at night became a practitioner in San Francisco.
Adventure called again and he left his law work to become a gold prospector in Alaska. The circumstances of his successful prospects made Colonel Robinson determined to devote time and wealth to social service. This determination has shown in his present work which he is putting down law enforcement and particularly the prohibition amendment.
In his address tonight Colonel Robinson is expected to present the question of prohibition and its enforcement, which he calculated to interest the students.
"I believe there are three tests of such validity. First, validity in public opinion. Second, the crystallization of that opinion - into specific statute Third, that in principle and method of enactment such statute be affirmed."
"Law Obligation Necessary"
"Obedience to a constitutional law is the foundation of democratic liberty," said Colonel Robins in a recent address. "In the prohibition amendment to the federal constitution and the Voluntary Act providing for its enforcement a valid duty, the law requires that the law be obeyed in a democratic society." What is a valid law in a democratic society?

Novel Banquet Plans Are Nearly Completed for A. I. E. E. Event
Electrical Engineers Construct Radio Studio in Cafeteria Dining Room
Final arrangements for the annual electrical engineers' banquet which will be held in the cafeteria of the Kansas State University, near clearing completion, says R. M. Alspaugh, chairman of the Kansas branch of the American Institute of Architects.
A part of the cafeteria will be transformed into a radio studio. In all probability the music and the after dinner speeches will be broadcast from KFKU. The A. I. E. E, bauun is now considered one of the outstanding social events of the year for the engineering students.
It has been the custom in the past to perform several electrical "stunt" and demonstrations of electrical phenomena, and to acquaint them with some phases of electrical engineering. Each year the desinations, programs, and entertainment for the banquet has been extended to the major phase of the electrical industry.
At the banquet in 1922, when radio broadcasting was in its infancy, oparture was arranged to receive radio stations from other stations during the banquet. One year telephones were placed on each table to enable those present to communicate with their friends at the opposite end of the room. The room was decorated as the interior of a Towerville Trolley car, and the walls were covered with gaddy advertisements. The fire box, bell and cone were located at the head of the boat-meters table.
The executive committee, together with Paul Johnson, c28, has been working on the plans for the banquet for several weeks. The date list is up in Mr. Johnson's office and is being filled up rapidly.
Oswald Bundy, e 28, will serve as tastemaster to the affair, and Dean George C. Shaud will respond in behalf of the faculty.

Rumor Says Small Will Place Chicago Under State Rule
Bombings of Last Night Throw City in Turmoil Unknown in Past Elections
(United Press)
Chicago, March 27—Two bonds wrecked the homes of United States Senator Charles Dennis and Circuit Judge John J. Swenson last night and today Chicago was thrown into such turmoil as the heat of election campaign and gang wars never produced before.
The city was wide open for the duration of the primary campaign. It required more than 10,000 bullets for ward leaders, and omits for major political figures had seen the rule of the campaign. It was just a question of who would win.
No Arrests Made
Threats of state action to superseize the power of Chicago and Cook county law authorities were met by counter rumors of a prospective declaration of murial law by Gov. Len Small to prevent seizure of the law enforcements. The district attorney, Robert E. Crowe, and Mayor William Thompson, Police and district attorney's offices appeared to be entirely inactive in the bombings. At 1 o'clock no arrests had been made; no special squads so far as could be learned had been deployed. Inter-police station telephone wires had not even carried an announcement of the bombings.
Comment Is Withheld
Attorney General Oscar F. Carstrom arrived in Chicago this morning from Springfield. He appears not to comment on the bombing. Emerson head, center of the activity of the forces in Chicago, also reported no comments would be made until more information was obtained.
Hospital injuries by frankly skeptical district attorney agents were crossed by thoroughly determined investigators. Crowe offered a reward of $10,000 for the apprehension of the bombers and at the same time charged in a formal statement that the bombs were set on fire by criminals who discredit Crowe and Thompson.
Chicago, III., March 27. —Two weeks of political warfare with bombs and bullets was forecast for Chicago as a result of bomb blasts which last week killed five United States Senator Deneen and Credit Judge John J. Swanson.
Future Trouble Expected
From now until the primary, April 10, the city is prepared for outbreaks of violence. Armed guards were posted about the homes of political leaders and federal, state and city officials.
Not an arrest had been made shortly before noon in connection with last night's bombing and there was no indication there would be any. Commissioner of Police Hughes announced that a reward of $5,000 would be given for arrests of the attacker. Attorney Robert E. Crowe previously had offered $10,000. Hughes said he had ordered "trivial police investigation."
Mayor Disturbed
Mayor William Hale Thompson refused to make any statement in connection with the bombing, but he appeared to be quite disturbed. Assis said he was "shocked" by E. Johnson said he had learned he had no power to continue the investigation he started last night. Robert E. Crowe announced he would have no statement to make. Other political leaders also unflinching on fan fiction similarly were silent.
No one seemed anxious to discuss the political situation growing out of what were generally admitted to have been two political bombings.
Unusual lack of activity was reported from police headquarters today. The series of more or less indiscriminate arrests which usually follows bombing was conspicuously absent.
