EIGHT MEN INVADE HUMDINGLING SHOW
Boisterous Joy and Intrusion of "Roughnecks" Features of W. A. A. Circus
MADE KNIGHTS OF BATP
Mere Man Disguised as Woman —Some Hid in Gym
The W. A. A. "Hundling Circus" in Robinson Gymnastium last night was all that it promised to be, and more—but that comes later.
At 7:30 o'clock a large crowd gathered on the first floor where the side shows were going full tilt. Lusty-lunged, fierce mounted circles spielers invited the crowd to take in the charm of the wild wonders of the planet by resplitting spectacle of the shimmying lion and the cheek-to-check-dancing bears.
1 treening in and out among the sightens of cisterns flashed, now and then, a ballet girl on the arm of some dark-looking villian, or a tough young man wearing a flaming keemcheer, with a tin of Prince Albert in one hip pocket and a bottle that defied the eighteenth amendment in the other.
The crowd surged back and forth from one attraction to the other, pressing against the ropes until some hardbound card guardsrommage pipe long enough to warn the ladies about getting too near the wild animals.
The elephants teeter-tetter and did some nice dancing but when a dog got into the ring and began barking at them, they fell off the collar and like a punctured balloon.
The trapse performance and dance was introduced by the Cactus Bronco's Cowboy's band which played "The Old Gray Marce Ain't What She Used To Be." The acrobats proceeded to entertain the audience by a series of graceful and daring feats on the pyramid ladders,
But in the midst of their performance a startled cry brought the crowd to its feet. "What is it?" was on everyone's lips and then came the answer: "I can." Fifty two men seized a meek-looking old lady with white hair—the hair came off—and they dragged a young man out of the room, down the stairway and plug him out of the door. Then they back and the action continued; but the performance was interrupted by the cry of vigil outposts "Three More Men!" But there were more than three. Investigation showed that several male students were hiding in the rainy third floor. Two boys lapsed up during a rainfall within reach, so rough that one intruder feigned unconsciousness, and refused to recover although doused with much water. The other men were marched down to the swimming pool and ducked by strong afterfall. After this the back and the talented efforts of the Darktown, Mintrel, which was the closing number of a very successful circus.

STEAMER RUNS AMUCK UPON BLOCK ISLAND
Coast Guard to the Rescue; 400
Portuguese Immigrants
Abandoned
Aboard
Boston, April 29—Four hundred passengers were imperiled today when the steward Mormugno, bound from the Azores to New Bedford, ran ashore on the southwest tip of Block Island according to a wireless message.
A heavy sea was running and position of the steamer was obscured by fog. The coast guard cuthers Achnadus and Androscoggan, were sent to the rescue. According to the message, the steamers foraging on reef and not in immediate danger, according to wireless reports.
Reports said high tide may float the vessel on which are more than 400 Portuguese immigrants. Wrecking of vessels in the South Coast Guard are now standing by.
The forward hold is said to be filled with water and some of the seams are leaking. Although the passengers are safe, they will be removed this afternoon.
TO START AIRPLANE ROUTE
There was danger of a panic when the vessel rocked while going through the fog. The first warning the coast guards had to protect the pilots was put by hearing when they heard the frantic wall of their siren. The sea was heavy and the dense ford hit the vessel. The guard put out the lifeboats and guided by signals from the aircraft's wireless was sending out calls for help along the coast.
WILL Carry Mail Between Chicago and New York
Milwaukee, Wis., April 29. (United Press.)—America's largest air "Pullman," also the largest in the world since the recent rewrecking of a great Italian plane which was to have been used in traffic between Italy and the United States, will to take to the air early in May.
Alfred Lawson, South Milwaukee airplane builder, whose giant liner two years ago sailed over a greater part of the eastern half of the country, is only waiting for favorable weather to test out his liners that will carry mail under government control tract between New York and California in August. It will also carry passengers between the two cities. The test will be made early in May.
Lawson's liners will begin a new era in air transportation, and his fastest planes will cut twelve hours from the present fastest railroad time be between New York and Chicago. But his government wants to make stops at Harvard and Pittsburgh, Penn., and Fort Wayne, Ind., three stops between New York and Chicago. Day planes will leave each terminal at 6:30 a.m. and are scheduled to arrive at their destination at 5:00 p.m. Night planes leave the terminal at 7:00 p.m. clock and are scheduled to arrive at their destination at 6:00 the following morning, making New York and Chicago eight hours apart.
The giant liners are capable of carrying 6,000 pounds of dead weight. The government contract calls for 1,500 pounds of mail and the planes will carry 4,500 pounds of human weight, if the twenty passengers the plane can accommodate weigh that much. The planes are combined with all the comforts one expects on America's best train services, diner, wash station. Nothing is being spared for the comfort of the passengers. If this type of plane proves successful many more will be in the air before fall.

The undersigned have been designated by the Executive Committee of the Kansas Stadium-Union Memorial as trustees to receive and receipt for initia) installments of pledges made to the Memorial and due May 1. Payments may be received by the Registrar's office in Fraser Hall commencing Monday, May 2.
There is now in process of organization a permanent corporation to be known as the University of Kansas Memorial Corporation, which will contribut and direct all matters concerning collection of pledges, furtherance of the campaign, and Memorial construction.
Pledges due May 1 are those from faculty and students—and these only. The collections will be made at the Registrar's office on May 2 and the days following will constitute the real test of the Stadium-Union campaign; the actual giving of the money will determine the success of the undertaking.
The University of Kansas Memorial Corporation is composed of eight board members who were selected by the Board of Directors in last night. They are: Chancellor E. H. Lindley; Professors W. J. Baumgartner and C. C. Williams; Thornton Cooke and Michael Scholes of U.S. Law School and Hill M. Oler and Judge Smart of Lawrence.
Plans for outlining the corporation and securing a charter were left in the hands of Judge Smart, who will have the necessary details completed as soon as possible so that the organization can function with absolute authority. The executive committee, which was composed of six faculty members, six students, and six alumni, lacked the legal authority to deal with the collection and dispersing of funds and dealing with contractors, both of which were necessary for the speedy procedure of the Stadium plans.
It was pointed out that the executive committee was not a permanent organization, that it lacked a permanent policy, and that it was composed of a few people who were a legalized body with fewer numbers would have precedence.
The plan of securing a general manager for conducting the future campaigns to be held in other large cities was considered. It has not been met by the local government Baumgartner and severa] other executive members were favorably impressed. All of the members sigmified their willingness to continue their work and to help as much as possible, but added that the plans would progress much more rapidly and with skill and expertise organized and under the leadership of a capable man who could spend all his time on the work.
