Blackmar Will Speak Over Radio On History Of Prohibition Laws
Liquor Consumption in Kansa Less than in Any Other State, is Claim
Prof. F, W. Blackmar will talk this evening over the Star's radio on the subject "Is Prohibition a Failure?" In discussing the general line of development of the subject, Professor Blackmar this morning referred to the long struggle Kansas had in gaining prohibition.
Difficulties within the state as well as outside opposition were the conditions faced by the state legislature at the time the Kansas law prohibiting the use of alcoholic liquors was passed. The forced sustained the liquor traffic brought immense influence to bear on the Kansas government, and brought up the subject the legislature only made the law more forceful.
Until 1914 there was less than three gallons per capita of alcohol, wine and beer used yearly in the United States. The law and the action of the attorney-general, Kansas became dry. The same years there were twenty-two and one-half gallons per capita consumed yearly in the other states of the United States.
By constitutional amendment the state of Kansas was forced to suffer with other states at the hand of the liquor rings of large cities, including Dallas, Milwaukee, Delphia, and Milwaukee. Kansas has suffered more since than before the passage of the Volostle Act. The federal government is in for a long fight for prohibition, but judging by the number of deaths in Kansas, it will eventually win.
"Prohibition is not a failure. If the Volunteer Act is repealed a more dramatic act takes on the businessmanses the opinion expires by Professor Blackmar today.
Rowlands Use Bloodhounds
Dogs Pick up Scent which Leads to Santa Fe Station
The bloodhounds' which were brought from Kansas City to tice the robbers who broke into Rowland's Book Store Friday night, picked up a box of cigarettes and trailed to the Santa Fe station. Believing the thieves to have caught a train out of town, the police here notified officials in Topeka and Kansas City. R. C. Rowland went to Kansas City to investigate a potential clue.
The lock on the front door had been "jimmed," evidently with a heavy bar. An unofficial estimate of the loss is between $2,000 and $3,000, including twenty-three dozen fountain pens, a number of silver "K" rings, gold knives, watch chains, pearls, and other accessories. A large set of a small open, and some stamps and a small amount of change taken.
Frank J. Ryan, secretary of state and secretary of the adjusted compensation board, states that it will be June 1, or later, before any of the Kansas soldiers of the late war receive their bonus payment.
At police headquarters, it was said that the loss was not covered by insurance.
Soldiers' Bonus Will Not be Given Before June 1s
The secretary of state and Governor Davis are in favor of the bonds being issued in denominations as low as $10,000. They also *receive their payment in bids if they* * desire it. Mr. Ryan believes the bonds to be good an investment as can found and is a good man to form a former servant men to start saving and investing.
Council Decisions On Deficits May Stop Jur Prom
Juniors Musi fore San Given)
e $240 Be- Will be
For the first time in the history of the University of Kansas there may be no junior Prom. Whether or not it happens depends upon the results of the junior class meeting, scheduled to occur some time during the coming week. The date of the meeting will be announced at the university's headquarters, president of the junior class.
Party
The present difficulties of the class of '24 arose from the refict resulting from the Sophomore Hop of last year. The total amount, $240, is charged up to the present Junior class. Under a recent ruling of the Men's Club, the class will be given by any class while a deficit remained charged up to it.
Ruling for Raising Money
A second rulning of the Council, according to Dean Kent, prohibits any class from holding any kind of an instrument to raise money by the other students of the University.
Ruling for Raising Money
A personal assessment for every member in the junior class is the probable solution to the problem as it stands now, according to "Cheet"
Added to the present difficulties of the class of 24 is the possibility that they may not be graduated from the
May Graduate Class
University, until the deficit be removed from the books. Such a measure was adopted last year at a class meeting, but failure to enforce it during the time of enrollment resulted in the absence of the existing state of affairs.
The date for the party has been set for April 27, but unless the deficit is removed, the prom can not be given. "Ched" Janicke, assistant manager of the prom, has withdrawn from school this semester. His successor will probably be appointed at the next meeting of the Junior class.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
birth as well as the son of trio, reared in penury and squalor, with no gloom of light nor fair surroundings, it was reserved for this strange being, late in life, for the purpose of preparing, to be snatched from obscurity, raised to supreme command at a supreme moment, and intrusted with the destiny of a nation. Where did Shakespearege his genius? Where did he spend his time hand smudge the lyrce of the Scottish plowman and stayed the German priest? God alone, and as surely were raised by God, inspired of God was Abraham Lincoln, the story, no tragedy, no epic poem will be filled with greater wonder than that which tells of his life and death. If Lincoln were not inspired of God, then there is no such thing on Earth to do. The interposition of divine power in the affairs of men.

Acomas Tq Commence Repairs Immediately On Fire-Ruined House
Flames Starting in Basemen Sweep Two Floors; Origin is Unknown
is Unknown
Repairs on the Acomas fraternity house was damaged by fire early Saturday, will be started at once. The house is uninhabitable for the present and the men are living in various houses until the repairs are completed.
The Lawrence fire department responded quickly, and had the blaze under control within thirty minutes after the alarm was turned in. No one was seriously hurt, but Mrs. Clara B. Leonard, Acomas house mother, was slightly overcome by fumes and smoke.
The fire started in the basement, and was discovered when the smoke waaked two of the men on the third floor. Although the flames were still confined to the basement when discovered, they rapidly spread, and a few minutes after the fire was given, fire had hit the second story.
The flames did not reach the third floor, and one room on the second floor was left intact due to the fact that the door into the hallway had been closed, leaving the furniture in the other second floor rooms and on the first floor were practically a total loss. The damage to the house, which is not the property of the fraternity, is covered by insurance, and the damage to the fragrance of the room and the personal belongings of the men is partly covered by insurance.

(United Press)
The killing of two French soldiers and a German civilian in a clash at Görlkirchen, Westphalia, was reinstalled. The French completed plans to prevent export of Ruhr products to Germany and to take over all railroads in the country.
Simultaneously, Europe was electrified by a report that Mustapha Kemal, Turkish warlord, was at Smyra, where allied warships in the harbor await militant action by the Turks. The Allied governments are not certain when the Ottoman ultimatum begins; Smyra expires. A battalion of troops has been ordered from Gibraltar to the Near East.

Hermes pointed out that French achievements since the occupation of the Ruhr began have been negligible, and reconstruction of France is now impossible, as French expulsions and confiscations have so disrupted the economy. It is important that it is impossible to say when "finance apparatus" can be restored.

Overloading Of Circuit Is Cause Of Hill Fires Chief Reinisch States
Extra Electrical Appliances Make 600-Volt Line Carry from 10,000 to 11,000 Volts
"Fires will continue on the bill as long as ignorant students continue to overload the electrical circuit," said William Reinisch, fire chief this morning. "Every student seems to have fire safety training in engineering, and nineteen of them do not know a thing about it. According to their notion any way to get a light where they want it is all right. They attach extension cords, plugs into a power outlet, double sockets all over the house and make a 600 volt line carry from 10,000 to 11,000 volts. Then when the fuse blows out some bright bellow put a penny in between the fuses increases the liability of fire even more.
"We have this trouble only on the hill," Mr. Reinich said. "Overloading the circuit is also a violation of City Ordinances.
"Iif an inspector should be sent to investigate houses for defensive wiring and overloaded circuits it would take him about four hours and by that time it would be necessary for him to start all over again."
When asked if the city was going to put a substation on the hill he replied, "Not that I know of. I do not advocate it because the city cannot afford it. A substation on the bill would mean that a station house be built. It is not bought, and at least five additional firemen at $6,000 a year employed.
"Lawrence is not the only city that is suffering from fire," he added. "Topeka has had a number of $25,000 fires recently. These fires as in a fire truck are caused by defective flues and a spark has set the dry roof on fire.
"The danger of overloading the electrical circuits can not be too strongly emphasized, but the students refuse to pay any attention to it. They want it and want it and take almost any means to get it to the desired place."

Engineers Revive Question Of Annual Debate With Laws
Custom Discontinued After Last Spring's Disorders Finds Champions in Engineers
The annual engineer-law debate has been a University event for many years, and has been discontinued as a result of the battle which occurred last spring between the rival schools in front of Green Hall.
Another engineer-law debate is being agitated by the members of the School of Engineering, according to a statement received from Burnett F. Treat, president of the School of Engineering.
The statement of President Treat follows:
Delta Sigma Rho, debating fraternity, offered a cup three years ago to the winner of three consecutive annual debates. The engineers won two of the debates, but the laws won the last one before the break between the two schools. The cup, therefore, remains in the possession of law students. It is that fact which has raised the engineers to action.
"Because of the diplomatic break between the Schools of Law and of Engineering last spring, a much-neered tradition was killed in its embrace. The college already takes its place among University traditions and bade fair to promote a friendly inter-school rival which gave individuality to the various schools and at the same time provided a unique undercurrent of university spirit.
Showed Debating Talent
"Aside from these benefits, this annual contest brought to the surface debating talent heretofore unknown. This fact was recognized by Delta Sigma Rho, honoring debating fraternity, and prompted the offer of a cup by this society to the winner of the debate for three consecutive weeks. The engineers and once by the laws, and remains, whether rightfully or not, in possession of the latter fter the outbreak of last year.
"That the engineers favor a c-ntinance of the debate was evidenced by a formal statement to the effect that they desired forfeiture of the cup by the laws to Delta Sigma Rho for further inter-school contests. it is intimidated by a formal challenge and if the challenge ever be issued in the near future by the School of Engineering."
