Dean Butler to Make Cash Re fund to All Season Ticket Holders
Margaret Romaine, soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, has been engaged to give the sixth number of the University Concert Course based on Dean H.-L. Butler of the School of Fine Arts.
NUMBER 128
Theo Karle had been engaged to give a recital here in April, but he could not fulfill his engagement Therefore, a contract with Miss Romaine was secured and the Theo Karle tickets admit.
It has been absolutely impossible to engage a symphony orchestra for spring concerts. The Minnesota orchestra will not make a tour, and the St. Louis Symphony found it impossible to accept any other engagement with their Kansas City city. The Philharmonic Orchestra of New York lost so heavily on its western tour last year, that it had to forego any idea of making another trip into this part of the country.
"I have heard Miss Romie sing. She has a beautiful soprano voice and is an artist in every sense of the word. She will be paid a larger fee than Mr. Karle would have received bad be a song." Dean Butler said.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MARCH 24. 1922
Any substitution for the orchestral concerts is bound to be unsatisfactory. Therefore a cash refund will be made to all season ticket holders. Those holding $5.00 season tickets are entitled to a cash refund of $1.25 upon the return to Dean Butler's office of the two orchestra companies contracted to a refund of $1.00. In mailing the tickets to Dean Butler a self-addressed envelope should be enclosed and a check will be mailed to the patron immediately.
These tickets cannot be accepted as payment for Schumann-Heink tickets as it is necessary that all refunds on the concert course be paid by check from the Business Office. Between five and six hundred seats for the Schumann-Heink concert have already been ordered. With the exception of a few seats in the last two rows, there are no $1.00 seats left.

FORGER PASSES AS STUDENT
Intervention of Friend Causes Release of Salina Man
Pretending to be a University student does not pay when dealing with Lawrence merchants, at least that is the experience of Samuel Mayes, of Salma. Mayes purchased shirts and socks valued at $7.29 from Sm Galtikey, proprietor of the Ideal Clothing Company, giving in payment a check for eight dollars. He returned a letter and later asked to be allowed to predate the check a few days after he gave his joint account with his brethren and that there was not enough money in the bank to cover the amount held by Galtikey.
The clothier agreed, but when Mayes took great pains to explain that he was a student on the hill, he grew suspicious. Finding that no one else had taken notice at the University, Galtikky called the police and Mayes was arrested.
News of the arrest reached R. E. Locke, a waiter at the Select Cafe, and an old friend of Mayes. He hurried to Galitzky's store and offered to cover the amount of the check if Galitzky would drop the case. Galitzky finally agreed, but only after an earnest plea by Locke. Mayes was released, with his friend holding the check.

KANSAS FLOOD DEALS DEATH AND RUINATION
Four Persons Killed, Others Missing When Cloudburst Inundates Burlington
TWO MILLION DOLLAR LOSS
Rescue Work Proceeds as Wate Rises—Wire Communication Cut Off
Burlington, Kan., March 24 (by radio). Four persons are known dead, one girl is missing and believed buried under debris, and property damage will probably total as high as $2,000,000 as theault as the principal sec of Burlington during the night, it was estimated today.
Water is still standing several feet deep in the streets today and a heavy rain is falling. Rivers and creeks are rising rapidly to flood stage.
s shortly after the body of Miss Oletha Fairing was found in debris on Main Street, rescue parties found the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Wheeler, who were held in Mrs. Jaceh Sheetz is reported missing and is believed under the wreckage.
Rescue parties were also worked amid wreckage of thirty or more dwellings where a five foot wall of water lay on the ground. If more people are dead or injured.
Brunt of the damage was born by the three blocks in the business section where stocks of merchandise were drowned, caved in and basements flooded.
Water that remained in the streets today ranged from a foot to waist deep. The chill rain and food waters hampered relief work. All wire communication from Burlington to the airport is not yet off.
By couriers coming in on hand cars, it was learned that relief trains are due shortly after noon from Emporia and other points.
Rain that literally fell in sheets and totalled more than twelve inches early today inundated practically all of the business section. It was still raining today and the Neosho River was rising.
The wall of water came into town from Rock Creek, a so-called dry stream. It swept away twenty-five or more dwellings at the end of Neosho and nearby streets and carried wreckage, automobiles, small buildings, and live stock on its crest as it smashed into the main part of town.
A score of business houses were inundated. Merchandise stocks were washed into the street, the buildings 'ell into basements and walls caved in.'
The light plant was put out of com- mission with the first rush of water. Survivors huddled in buildings all night.
Two telephone girls were heroes of the flood. As the water caved in buildings they stuck to their posts and warmed those in the path of flood of their dang r. The fact that the prince was on top of a steep slope is on high ground and out of reach of the crest kept the death toll from being higher.
Railroads reported considerable damage to trackage and bridges. One Suzie, Fea train is reported stalled for two hours between Ottawa and Goodley.

Robertson Secures Release on $5,000 Bond—Returns to Oklahoma City
OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR SUBMITS TO ARREST
ACCUSED OF TAKING BRIBE
Has Asked for a Change of Venue From Okmulgee County
Oklahoma City, March 24. —Governor James B. A. Robertson, indicted chief executive of Oklahoma, returned to the capitol today submitting to arrest in Okwulgee late yesterday and securing his release on $5,000 bond.
The governor who is accused of accepting a $25,000 bribe to permit an unbound bank to operate, slipped into the city this morning as unsuspiciously as he left yesterday noon by motor from Kilmulgur. He returned on an early morning train, carefully avoided reports, and hurried to his
Shortly afterward the governor went direct from his home to the state capitol. He declined flatly to see newspaper men and his secretary said the governor would make no statement in connection with the case. This policy of maintained silence is said to have been adopted at the specific request of Judge Carl F. Stewart, the governor's chief counsel.
It was understood at the capitol that one of the first moves of the governor's counsel following his arraignment was to ask for a change of venue.
Okmulgee, where the indictments against the governor were returned is known as a republican community. County Attorney Hepburn, who submitted the evidence based on the exam, is the governor is a Democrat.
The plea for change of venue wont, be based on the contention that the governor cannot receive a fair and courteous trial in an Okhmekwe County court.
Judge Stewart, senior counsel for the governor, has gained a reputation as a defender of public officials of note. He successfully defended former governor Carl N. Haskell who was indicted by a federal grand jury for alleged fraud in connection with the sale of Indian lands; and former United States Senator Thomas are in the famous mini-bond" scandal case.
LINDLEY TALKS TO LAWS
Says Two Years College Training for Laws is Essential
"The student's social consciousness will be stimulated to thoughtful reflection by his contact with school life and problems which arise on the campus. Lawyers of the present day and of all times are the embodiment of law itself. In their hands is the fortune of the country. The only contribution to the law profession goes very deep. And for that reason the student needs the big backgrounds of the sciences, histories of people, a knowledge of our great institutions, and the conference was based on the necessity for this background —two years of college training before a student be allowed to enter the law schools of any of the country's institutions.
"However, the advocates of the pre-
paratory measure carried it through,
and Elllu Root dominated the situation
with his super leadership. The public says for poor lawyers and ex-
perienced lawyers to be to the ultimate benefit of society to require the two years preparatory course for prospective lawyers."
Miss Barnes Talks to Pen and Scroll Club
That Masterlirck falls far short of being a model of propriety, and that his plays give evidence of his lax ideals, was the belief of Miss Nellie Barnes, of the department of English, in a talk to members of Pen and Scroll last night. Miss Barnes gave a comprehensive discussion of the Belgian dramatist's abilities and works, closing with the statement that this popping incident decided on the decline. James Sinden read some original poems and sketches, and Betty Tenney read a short story, "The Fateful Spell."
Keith Kennedy, e'25, will spend this wck end in Manhattan visiting friends.

SOUVENIR HUNTERS DO DAMAGE AT MUSEUM
Museum Authorities Say Identity of Culprits is Known
The identity of the souvenir hunters who married and defaced and even roke to pieces Tuesday invaluable ones and skeletons of prehistoric animals on display on the third floor lyche Museum is pretty definitely
The big horned skull of the trickerops, one of the most numerous of the old herbivorous dinosaurs, was broken and cracked and several pieces
The miscreants were thoughtless
nought to write their initials and even
their names on the damaged
materials in fresh shiny paint marks
which still showed the powdered lead
from their pencils when the curator
discovered the damage. Addresses
has been secured and the owners
taken from it. The skull of the big beast is a prominent feature of the museum and weighs nearly a thousand pounds. The damage will make it necessary to take the entire mass off its pedestals, and work it over by reinforceing with steel rods. The skull is so strong that the culprits must have broken it in trying to lift it.
Fart of the vertebra of a reptile was pried from its matrix and carried off also.
"We are always glad to have people visit the Museum and look over the material," said M. T. Martin, curator, this morning. "But when thoughtless persons break up and carry off museum property and do damage that will take days of time and a great deal of money to repair, we will have t₂ take action that may prove disagreeable to them."
