K. U. Honors Bailey for Forty Years' Constant Service
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. 1099
Old Students and Friend Come Great Distances for Banquet and Assembly
Dr. E, H. I., S. Bailey's service to the University of Kansas for forty years was celebrated Friday by a banquet in the evening and an address to an assembly in the Chemistry lecture room in the afternoon. Dr. Bailey, who was severely ill on Sept. 17, can be told the University when the school was so small as to require only nineteen men in its faculty.
Of this group of scholars, only six are living: E. Miller, in California, retired from her job at The Ihaca, New York; retired, A. G. Canfield, Arbors, Mich., teaching in the University, W. A. McDonald, who is doing literary work, and M. W. Storrs, an assistant department in the University of Kansas.
In due honor to the birthday and anniversary of this remarkable man, I will send him a message of great distinctions to attend the banquet given in his honor Friday night.
Chancellor Lindley said: "Dr. Bailey is a citizen, a much loved and honored man, and one of the youngest spirited men on this campus. He is
In his talk at the banquet, Chancellor Lindley pointed out that science is a comparatively new thing in the world. He pointed out that United States wanted to learn something about it they had to import Louis Agrassi from Switzerland to teach them. He also pointed out his own achievement as the greatest scientist that the world has ever known, was able to get a position as a scientist, which would make he living on a few years' salary carrying on his work here in Kansas.
"Frontiers are bought as sacrifices to civilization," said Doctor Lindley, "and the children of the frontier may pay the price. The American schools have come to the rescue of such children." In 1974, Bayle, the children of the Kansas pioneers have been able to make a success."
In closing, Chancellor Lindley said: "If anyone tells you that science and religion do not agree, look at Doctor Balloy."
H. P. Cady, professor of chemistry, told of Doctor Bailey's early days in K. U. He said that in 1883 he had $256 with which to buy equipment for the department of chemistry, and with $125 of this amount he paid. "And which is what this day will weich accurately one third of a grain of sugar.
Brings Greetings from Governor
D. O. McCray, a member of the
Board of Education, brought greetings from Gov. Jonathan M. Davis, who was unable to attend last week. B. A. M. '98, chemical engineer and director of Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, Pa., missed a train connection and E. V. McColum, B.A. '03, A. M. '04, physiological chemist of Johns Hopkins Medical School, at Baltimore, MD, that has sent the greetings from the alumni to Doctor Bailey.
Ex-Chancellor Strong acted as toast master.

Snow Hall and Old Journalism Building to Stand Until Money is Given for Wings of Library
"Youth must advance," and the coming of the new library means the passing of Snow Hall, most venues in the city, of the Journalism building, which first housed the department of medicine and zoology, and for years served as a bone of contention between two sides, "wilders and "neneil pushers."
At present only the central wing of the library is being erected. It is to be 146 feet long by 120 feet wide, with a basement and a subbasement and a hammering startled and distracted the students.
The building will be fireproof in every way. The floors will be cement and in the reading and study room.
At night the illumination will be by indirect lighting placed in the top o book-cases along each side of the room. The light will be thrown against the ceiling by "X-ray" reflectors.
The main delivery desk will be on the second floor in the hall next to the book stack room. The book stack room will occupy the greater part of the rear wing and will be high enough to allow for six stories of books.
they will be covered with battleship linoleum. The roof will be high pitch covered with red tile. The windows, including the large Gorish one inside the rear door, will contain a packing and work rooms. The base墻 proper will comprise one large study hall, 40-180 feet. The first floor will have a fire alarm, a reserve rack room. The second floor will e caintain a large main reading room 28x149 feet, with a 32-foot ceiling.
When a sufficient appropriation is made, the left wing of the library will be added, and Snow Hall, long ago condemned, will have to be terminated. The right wing of the action. When the east wing is added, the Journalism building must go.

Members of Klan Corralea by Executive's Agents; Grand Dragon Is Aggreed
(United Press)
Arrested
Oklahoma City, Sept. 23—Two additional military courts to examine witnesses in the investigation of alleged lawlessness and KluKu Klux Klan rule in Oklahoma were established in 1985. Series of Klansmen, rounded up by special agents of the governor were examined by the military inquisitors and plans were speeded up to complete the proceedings before the date set by the legislators for the special session to impeach Wal
Testimony already uncovered by the governor's military aides has placed the entire responsibility for whippings by night-riders and other lawlessness at the door of the Ko Kluux Klam. On the strength of this evidence, Governor Walton cause the arrest of N. C. Jecowitz. Grand Marshal the bishopric room of Klam, and made the sensational declaration:
Sensational Declaration
The governor is still determined but the meeting of the Oklahoma quisiture called for next Winter could prevent attacks against him will never assemble.
"The Klan is whipped. Rule of the Invisible Empire in Oklahoma is done for."

"sixty-eight of the assembly members are Ku Klux Klanmen, and a little more than fifty per cent of the senate belong to that organization. The men who assemble plead meet them as legislators, but as Klanmen."
Meanwhile, the lef'tature, pushed with renewed vigor its plans for the session soon next week to consider a new proceeding against the governor.
W. D. McGee, "Patrick Henry" of the movement to call the law-makers into extraordinary session, replied to the governor's accusation that he and the majority of the legislature were members of the Klan.

Youth Just the Same Today. Says Dr. Franklin, in Telling of K. U. Life Forty Years Ago
Imagine Mount Ouread when there were no fraternity houses, when students boarded for $1.65 a week; when hacks shipped down the unprepared Lawrence hills; when the faculty numbered 280, and you have a picture of K. U. back in 1884 when Dr. E. C. Franklin, president of the American Chemical Society, and now connected with Leland Stanford University, was a student on the Hill. Dr. Franklin Lawrence for the Bailey coke celebration.
He was a member of that class whose members have since distinguished themselves in the world of business, of war, of journalism, and of science. He was a classmate of Allen Wheeler, who sparked Kicketon, Vernon Kellogg, his own brother, W. S. Franklin, now professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, E. C. Case, famous paleontologist, and J. Hugh deem, dean of the School of Engineering at the University of Michigan.
"And $1.65 a week for board mean blackberry pie and beefteen." continued Doctor Franklin, with almost a sigh. General Funston, later famous in the annals of American history, was born in New York and in Mexico, worked as steward in the Kentucky street boarding house, to pay for his board.
"I have one diploma hanging in my study," said Doctor Franklin proudly. "It is signed by Eddie McCourt, a world-famous fictionalist, and Harry Launder, famous Scotchman. It certifies that I have duly crossed the equator." Doctor Franklin returned from London to warfare of the war where he was one of a few.

There will be many things in each issue of the DAILY KANSAN that you will want to put away and save—News stories and statistics that you will clip and refer to often. Or possibly you will want to send your Kansan to friends, so that they may know just what is happening at K. U. All this will be impossible unless you have your own copy. Don't be the borrower when you can have the six neway issues delivered to your address for less than 2 cents a day. (A lower rate than for many college dailies.) The KANSAN is the barometer of student activity—a necessity in your University life.

The W. S. G. A. retains ten percent of the selling price as a fee for handling the books. Last year the book exchange handled thousands of books and made a profit of $400. Holmes' "Biology of the Frog" Olmstead's "Biology of Man in Spanish," Butler's "Biology" Cady's "General Chemistry," and all the English classics are the books which are most needed now, according to Miss Bright. No books on readline have been turned in so far.
group engaged on a scientific expedition. It was on the return trip that the unique diploma was signed and presented.
"We as young men were quite as apt to treat serious things lightly. I remember that Fred Funston was prone to nickname everyone. He called Dr. E. H. S. Bailey 'Old Purple Whistle,' Mr. Evelyn Miller, 'Sinker's old pastor of the Congregational Church, 'One-eyed Dick.' The church itself he called 'One-eyed Dick' Josh House.'
Asked about his opinion of the youth of today, Doctor Franklin replied: "I do not see that they are any worse than they were when I was young. The principal reason for the fraternity today's interest is that it forgeson the things they did when they were young.
"The book exchange provides a market for second-hand books, and any student may buy or sell through the exchange," Margaret Bright, manager of the stand, said this morning. "The exchange is also for the benefit of the new students who are just entering the University."
Doctor Franklin was reaired in Doniphan County on the Missouri river where his father operated a sawmill. Since that time both railroads and the Missouri river have abandoned them, and only a postoffice remains.
A rushing business has developed on the first floor of Fraser Hall with the opening of the W. S. G. A. bookstore, where $20 million dollars was taken in Thursday alone.
"You can't always tell about the destiny of some people," he continued. "Now there's Fred Funton, for instance. He was one of class of 'initiates, along with a dapper little man, a favorite of the women, of the downtown hall. The little man was first to undergo the ordeal of being called the length of the hall in an iron cylinder while playful initiators pounded on the outside of it. He came out smiling. General Funton, next to go, came in a dotted fault. He looked into Mexican and Mexican expeditions."

Exploration Party May Be Lost; Boat Discovered Adrift
K. U. Professor in Group of Geologists Charting Lower Colorado
River
A boat belonging to the exploration party of which R. C. Moore, professor of geology, is a member, was discovered floating updown in the water, then lower where the party is supposed to be, according to word received from Kingman, Ariz., last night. The expedition was sent to chart the Colorado river, and has been floating gorges and muds since Aug. 12.
Professor Moore was heard from about Sept. 16, according to C. J. Posey, professor of geology. At that time he was in the Havasu canyon, and wrote that he would not be able to get mail again until Sept. 17. Mr. Moore said he would be home until the middle of October. Mrs. Moore is now in Chicago.
All Provisions Lost
One of the boats was lost near the first of the trip in a treacherous waterfall. All the provisions were lost but none of the men were injured. In spite of the damage of the side were all that was found after the accident. The river has been running high lately and has been quite rough. "We have been getting sphashed quite a good deal this time," Professor Moore in a recent letter.
Doctor Moore as geologist, Col. C. H. Birdseye, topographical engineer, and E. C. La Rue, chief of the hydrographical bureau, with two rodens, a cook, and boatmen made up the party. They were traveling in ships on the lake and back cocktails are covered with canvas and padlocked for storing of supplies and personal belongings. Progress down the river in the boats is the only method of transportation possible. Camp can be made only when a bar or lodge is found in the outcrop of the sheer walls of the lake. Campers write letters. In the 600 miles of the river which is bound by the canon, there are more than 100 rapids, making the trip very hazardous.
The trip started from Lees's Ferry, Ariz. Aug. 12, on the Colorado river just south of the Utah line. Lees's boat was the only place to places to take horses and warriors across the river between Green River, Utah, and the Needles. Ariz. One of the three places has been made a national park, the river, just below the EI Tovar hotel.
Get Supplies by Indian Back
The party of men arrived at the last 150 miles of their journey. During most of the way left, however, it is impossible to get supplies except by Indian back. Not even mules are supposed to be boats to deliver mail and supplies.
"The next stopping point will be at the Havasa trail where the Sunni Indians will bring food and milk." Doctor Moore wrote. "Equipment is extremely limited, and often it is two weeks before $n$ fresh supply of necessities can be obtained. Nevertheless the past year still presents a civilized life with the possession of a radio receiving set from which we are able to get market reports, weather reports, and concerts."
The rock formations are bare and clean from vegetation so that they have afforded an almost unmanalienable place for fossils at the formations with the new interpretations and ideas in mind, has given many formations a new scientific and economic bearing. Correlations are made using between them that has been discovered in the easily accessible portions of the Grand Canyon, and it has been discovered that they are equivalent. Doctor Moore has taken this opportunity to collect fossil specimens which are entirely new to geologists.
Students Pav Fines
Park police record show the following fines were paid in police court Saturday morning, as results of the ignoring of city ordinances the night before: L. J. Stauh, Thayer Saylor, C. E. Crawford and T. F. Brown, fifteen dollars each for speeding; Philip Pinnant, the dollar for reckless driving; John Schoen for driving with only one light. All are students in the University.
