Sen. Curtis Seeks to Avoid Necessity for Extra Session
Kansan Hopes Motions Bar Smith and Vare Will Not Be
Washington, Dec. 10—Arrested by the possibility that the election issues may usurp attention from this congress and force an extra session. Republican senators lead out to tell them why they are against political aritization of Democrats.
Passed
(United Press)
In this connection Republican leaders, the United Press learned, have counseled Allen S. Moore, Illinois campaign manager for Smith, to have Smith辞职 to fill out the unexecuted late Senator McKinley of Illinois.
---
Senator Curtis, Republican *Iloan leader*, made known that he will move to sidetrack the two Dill resolutions designed to bar senator-selective Vote A, in order to prevent the Republicans, Illinois, from presenting their credentials. Curtis will seek to have the resolutions sent to the judiciary committees for an indefinite vote.
Moore Advised to Wait
If Colonel Smith accepted the seat "if this session it would only cause premature discussion of the case, to the detriment of legislative business, probably forcing an extra session," Senator Watson, Republican, Indiana, influential leader declared. "I believe it would be a mistake."
Dill rehearsed he did not intend to press his resolution on Vare and Smith now but would hold them to halt the motion, would they be presented at this session.
Resolutions in Reserve
The resolution cannot pass, because southern Democrats will vote with Republicans against them believing they are going to legal requirements at this session.
The special -subcommittee investigation is being planned to open Monday into bribery charges against Senator Gould, Republican, Malini.
The Reed election investigating committee will meet soon to plan its future course as to the Pemigamixian districts and assets' expenditures and elections.

Mexican Intervention in Nicaraguan Revolt Causes Political Stir
Central American Government Appeals to United States for Blockade
With Mexico recognizing the rebels, who are trying to overthrow the Diaz government supported by the United States, the American government is being pressed by Diaz to establish a national blockade, against Mexican ships.
Washington, Dec. 10. -Official concern over Mexico-United States relations increased today on receipt of reports that Mexican ships with arms for Nicaraguan revolutionaries are headed for Puerto Caezas, Nicaragua, where the U. S. gunbatter Tulsa is stationed.
Meanwhile, the Mexican situation cramped up in the other state department quarters. "Representative Galicano," Democrat, Nassau-chichet, talked to the house yesterday on his hard-hearted "hard one"—apparently at Mexico. In the upper house, opponents of the poison gas treaty began using the bim of possible holdities with Mexico as a weapon to kill the treaty. Senator Feel, Republican, Penny Hill, said the war would be against a nation of the south "much weaker than ourselves."
Pollen gas, he suggested, would be a far more军需 weapon of war against "the poor, ignorant terrorists" and "many gun bulties and high explosive shells."
Simultaneously, the conference on the cure of war was upset by the dispute over Mexico when charges were filed against Mexico for complicity in dealing with Mexico.
P. E. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering, left last Tuesday for Salina and Winfield where he will address the chambers of commerce of these two towns on subjects bearing on industrial survey work in which he is interested. He will return Monday morning.

Professor Crafton Convert Robinson Gymnasium Into Theater for Play
Because of the difficulty in obtaining a theater in which to stage "The Dover Road," to be produced Monday and Tuesday by the K. U. Dramatic Club, the University authorities have given permission to use Rebehn's gymnasium. He has taken over the job of converting the gymnasium into a theater. More than one-third of the main auditorium has been cut off by screening and a stage has been constructed with complete equipment. Lighting effects are also being studied out and arranged for the production for complete electrical equipment. George Callahan is assisting Professor Crafton in this work.
"One set which is extremely intermittent," said Callahan, "is the set for Mr. Latimer's home on Dover Road. It is one which has required much work and effort to get the effects necessary." According to John Robertson, a professor of cricket soars Craton doubles, much credit for his work in the gymnasium.
"The Dover Road." by A. A. Milne is the club's second production of the year. It was first produced in New York in 1921 and enipped a long and successful run. It was next taken to London.
Milne's Work Hard to Produce
Milne's Work Hard to Produce
According to Professor Calderwood it is a very hard play to produce as Milne's work is always whimsical and light, which in reality is harder to produce than a beaver type of work. The 'play tells the story of couples running away to get married, who always take the "dover Road." The difficulties which they have to surmount are often grueling, gentlemanly, gentlemanic, Mr. Latimer, make the play humorous and interesting.

The cards printed from the xim,
etchings are afterwards hand-colored
by the students, while the remainder
are printed in colored ink directly
from the limeleum blocks cut by the
students.
The cards are being displayed in the show window of the Carter stationery store, and may be purchased there. They may also be purchased at the departmental office in west Administration building Friday, or Monday and Wednesday of next week, Professor Ketchan said.

The subject is "Resolved that we should the subject":
This courtroom system has never been tried here before, although it has met with approval at other colleges and universities that have given it a trial. According to Professor Bazing, it is creating a more interesting discussion and a clearer conception of the question at issue. "The speakers must be much better prepared for a debate of this type than for the more formal style which has always been presented to him, the much rapid adjustment of the much slower debate the debaters must be able to think quickly and clearly while on the platform. It will give much more life to the debate than the old style which is usually cut and dried before the speakers ever reach the platform." Evening, Jan. 16, at 7:30 in the Little Theoretical Green in Bay. It is open to any students who care to see this new method given a trial.
