Supreme Court Justice, Topeka, Lauds Obedience at Luncheon
CAMPAIGN IS OUTLINED
Lawson Introduces Jurist and Presents Plans for Eddy's Visit
Justice John Marshall, of the Kansas State Supreme Court, speaking at the Y. M. C. A. luncheon this noon, admonished the 150 men present that they must live up to the laws of God in order to get the most out of their lives. In a 15 minute talk, he pointed out his proofs that the universe is regulated by the laws of God and that men must di cover and utilize these laws in order to make their greatest success. He expressed the opinion that those who have been taught today through their consciences and that those who obey such advice are doing the big things for mankind. He urged church connection as a means of showing that men were walking under the guidance of God.
There were approximately 150 men who attended the luncheon and heard Mr. Marshall speak. The judge showed that there must be earnest application and attention to the things he wrote, and that he would wish to write his name the highest that is possible. He said that on the farm, in the field of art, and in the scientific laboratory the formula for achievement is the same. In no case did Mr. Marshall work only as a collaborator and the materials are the gift of Providence.

Dempsey-Willard Bout Calleu off—Jess at Home
The Jack Dempaesy-Jess Willard fifteen-round bout for the championship of the world, scheduled and announced for March 17, in Madison Square Garden, New York City, has been called off on account of the $15 limit admission charge fixed recently by the New York boxing commission, according to reports received in Lawrence today.
U. S. WILL HAVE NAVY EQUAL TO STRONGEST
Willard returned to Lawrence from New York, where he was to begin training this week, and is now on his way to opkaha. He has no trainers with him.
Secretary Daniels Shows Folly of Depending on Submarines and Aircraft
Washington, Feb. 3.—"The United States must continue the building of battle ships until it has a navy equal to the strongest," the general board of the navy declared today in a report to Secretary Daniels.
It would be the "height of wniwdom" for this country to "pin its fate on air craft or submarines" as having replaced the battle ship as the most powerful engine of naval warfare.
No "rest period or limitations of armament" should be agreed to until the U. S. has a navy of the largest type, according to the report.
Suspension of six months or any other period of the battle ship building program was classed as "neither necessary or advisable" for making a re-study of what will constitute the most powerful navy, as the important naval developments of the war are known.
FIRST COAST TO COAST TOUR
New York Philharmonic Orchestra Here May 9
A coast, to coast tour, the first in its seventy-eight years of uninterrupted music making in America, is now being planned for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, the oldest symphonic organization in this country, and the third oldest in the world.

The orchestra will carry eighty men and no solistis. It will give a program made up of some of the greatest orchestral works.
COCHRANE PRAISES BRADLEY
Sport Editor Lauds K. U Athlete's Ability
Edward W. Cochrane, sport editor of the Kansas City Journal, has the following to say concerning the selection of Everett L. Bradley and other Missouri Valley athletes on the All-American field and team field;
The three men deserve the places. Scholz of the Tigers was one of the greatest sprinters ever developed in the West. He lands the place as 60-yard dash man. Bradley of Kanaa is without question one of the best athletes ever developed in this country. The same can be said of Hamilton of the Northwest, who won the Olympic games and won in the events in which they are placed on the mythical team. Bradley gets the pentathlon place and Hamilton the decathlon.
The selection of three men from Missouri and Kansas universities on the all-American track and field team in 1920 gives these two Missouri Valley institutions a prominent place in American athletics.
These are not the last of the great athletes to be developed at the two institutions. Each has a track coach who will help them again this season. Each has considerable good material to work with. The teams will be on exhibition here in the K. C. A. C. meet and the annual Miss America dual clash in Convention Hall.

JAYHAWKERS TO MEET VETERAN AGGIE FIVE
Coach Allen Working Overtime Preparing for Fast
BUNGER INDIVIDUAL STAR
Game
Two battles for the Jayhawk basket ball team are scheduled for tomorrow and Saturday nights when the Kansas Aggie five comes to Lawrence. The Aggies have won four out of five Valley games so far this season and are repaid to have one of the fastest teams in the conference.
A veteran five graces the Agrigia school this season. Captain Bunger all-Valley forward last year, is a terror on baskets; his running mate, Knostman, is a hard playing floor forward. Jennings, at center, made the second all-Valley team last season and was considered to be nearly as good as Williams, the great Tiger pivot man. In the Cowell brothers, the Aggries have a great defensive pair. k
Season
Farmer Quintet Has Lost Only One Conference Game This
At the beginning of the season the Aggies were over-confident. They easily defended the Sooner five in their first games, but the Ames quintet proved to be too good for the Farmers in the first game. However, the Aggies ended up winning the finish in the second game and defeated the Cyclones. The third game of their Iowa invasion proved disastrous also, but the opponent was Des Moines College, a non-conference school. Drake fell in one other game. Now, that they have tasted defeat they have lost that over-confidence and Dr. Allen is working his Jayhawks overtime this week in prep games. The Aggies practice yesterday afternoon was a hard one and the men showed up better than at any time during the season, according to Coach Allen. The Kansas five has been slumping slightly since the Missouri series, but a return to the form that won from the Ames team should defeat the Aggies
At least, one of the hottest contests of the season will be witnessed in Robinson Gymnasium Fiday and Sat. Both games will be called at 7:30.

Railroads Urge Federal Labor Board to Disregard Esch-Cummins Law
RAILROADS DEMAND WAGE REDUCTIONS
Thirty six railroads failed to earn operating expenses in January.
Twenty eight railroads did not earn their taxes and fixed charges.
Chicago, Feb. 3—Two hundred thousand railroad employees have been laid off by sixty four roads of the country since September 1.
These statements were made today by W. W. Atterry, chairman of the Labor Board of the Railroad Executive Association, in a public statement supporting demands of the roads for a reduction in wages.
E. F. Grab, head of the union of unskilled laborers and shop workers went before the board to answer the petition filed by the railroad last week, asking abrogation of the national agreement and reduction of wages of
Railroads of the country in their efforts to drive down wages are trying to coerce the Federal Railroad Labor Board to disregard the Esch-Cummis laws, union leaders charged today in statements to the board.
Grable charged that the roads are attempting to "trample under feet and disregard the right of laborers who submitted their interests **to** the bears.
H said that if the railroad faced a financial crisis as claimed, it was due to the "careless and inefficient management," the maintenance of "large unnecessary and expensive official figures" and "fabulous figures for cast work."
Grable recited figures in an effort to substantiate his claims that the men were not over paid. He said 286,300 maintenance of wage employees, a annual wage in 1910 of $113.00, while 55,000 others received only $698.88.
Atturbury declared these lines rowented 40 per cent of the railroad mileage of the country.

LINDLEY TO DISBAND SOPHOMORE SOCIETY?
Jack Helmets Receive Penalty For Selling Invitations to "Exclusive"
ERE DISFRANCHISED. TOO
Self-Government Body Recommendations that Chancellor Disband Body for Year
As a result of having charged admission to a dance authorized as a private organization affair, action taken by the Men's Student Council last night disfriended all members of the Black Helmet, honor sophomore team in the disbanding of the organization for the present school year.
A recommendation to the Chancellor, urging that the society be disbanded was passed by the council, after action was taken stopping all student activities of the members for the remainder of the school year Ray Theis, who managed the party, given in F. A. U. early last month, and Phil Darby, another Black Helmert, represented the society in hearings before Chancellor Lindley and the Council yesterday.
The party, first announced as an all-University function, was refused authorization by the authorities, and, according to a council member, the managers were specifically notified that the council disapproved of their intentions, and forbade the party. Accordingly, the party was made an "exclusive," with members of this Black Helmets, and the Black Helmets of the United Nations addition to these, according to council members, some sixty invited guests were present, part at least of whom paid $2.00 for an invitation.
Other business tracted at the meeting included the election of Arthur Lonborg, 'c21, second vice-president, and Richard Howell, to fill the vacancy left by the withdrawal of Claude Voorhees from the University. John Porter, 'c21, representative from the College, was elected second vice-president, and Warren Cookey, 'c21, was elected from the College to fill the vacancy left by Porter.
Bob Mason, e21, was elected an Engineering School representative to fill the vacancy left by John Wahlstedt, removed because of failure to attend meetings. John McNally, removed because of failure from the School of Medicine to fill the place of Clark Goss, who has gone to Rosedale this semester.
Other business brought up included the question of music prices, and a request for permission to stage a benefit performance for the starring Chinese, by the Kansas and K.S.A.C. students.
The dance was given as an exclusive affair by the Black Helmets, after the authorization as all-University affair was refused, according to a member of the society today. An assessment of $4.00 per person was conducted in the form of the society, this charge being intended to cover the expenses.
Invitations were provided for by the dance management, and two allowed each member for distribution, besides the one allowed the member. These, it was brought out, had been sold by some members of the organization, and this was the basis of the charge against the Black Helmets.
Original expenses were to amount o not more than $125, according to the manager, but when the party was made exclusive, other elaborations ran the expenses up to $160, according to evidence brought out at the Council meeting last night. The 14 assessment has been collected from each of the thirty members, bringing an overall total of $128. An additional 2 assessment was decided upon at a recent meeting of the society, but has not yet been collected. This is expected to cover the deficit on thearty.
