Honor System Won't Work Even in Penitentiary
E. J. Murphy, ward at the炉丘 federal penitentiary, Joliet, Ill., has found the honor system is a failure and cannot be carried out effectively. Twenty-seven men have walked away from our farm since the first of the year.
The merrit rule will be enforced altogether now, he intimated yesterday. This means that in choosing men for the farm attention is given to the conduct of various candidates. A man who has a good record of cord, and no demogems will be chosen.
"There are always violations in any trust imposed on convicts," said Murphy, "and I suppose there always will be."

Chicago, May 28—Outlawed by the regular labor unions, and denied recognition by the U. S. railroad labor board, insurgent railroad strikers have amassified their forces to "fight to the death," according to H. E. Reading, organizer and leader of the recent "outlaw strike."
The amalgamated organization, which has not been given a title has a membership of 250,000 railroad employees. Reading said. He will all are on strike. The amalgamation was made, he said, at a secret meeting here at which leaders left work, before Yarirun's "Association," he said, "should be the spokesman for all others.
"The object is to gain return of our senority rights"
POOR SNAKE SPRING
Cold Weather Keeps Reptiles From Coming Out of Winter Orunters
The snake cage in the museum is beginning to be occupied again, Charles D. Bunker, Assistant Curator of Mammals, assisted by Mark Crawford. The snake can time ago by catching a large rattlesnake along the rocks of the Oread limestone of Wakrua Creek. They have since added two more rattlers and a copper-head to the collection several of the non-polonious kinds.
"This has been a very poor spring for good snake catching because of so much cold weather," said Mr. Hanna. "Now the leaves are too cold and they have not warm days in the spring after a long cold spell will bring the snakes out of their winter quarters in the rocks so they can be found sunning themselves along the outcropting lineament, to reach the rocks where snakes have been found in one day by the Museum snake hunters in the vicinity of Lawrence."

demnation
Washington, May 27—President Wilson today vetoed the Knox peace resolution declaring an end to the war between the United States and Austria Hungary and Germany. His grounds were that the resolution is illegal on the rights of the United States as far as the administration is concerned.
The resolution, President Wilson declared, is in effect a complete surrender of the rights of the United States to the German government is concerned.
The house today voted to postpone until tomorrow any effort to override the President's veto.
Immediately after the President's message was ready, chairman Porter moved to postpone. It was carried over objection by Democrats.
Democrats several times interrupted the reading of the message to applaud.

PICKING STADIUM SITE HAS MANY FACTORS
Prof. C. C. Williams and Dr. C.
F. Allen Studied Stadia in East
Harmonize Campus Plan
McCook Best Location on Account of Cost and Contour of Land
By Prof. Clement C. Williams, Consulting Engineer for the Athletic Board
The selection of a location for an important structure on the University campus is a complex matter and one about which opinions are likely to differ widely. It is a matter, therefore, which should be determined by a careful study of the existing circumstances, and all factors entering the question should be given proper weight in making the decision.
Dr. F, C Allen, Director of Athletics and Professor C, C. Williams, head of the civil engineering department and athletic representative of the university, spent the two weeks of vacation at Christmas visiting all the important athletic stadia of the eastern institutions. In this way nearly every student was involved and the conditions surrounding them observed and the Board of Administration had the benefit of this advice in making the selection of the general site as MeCook Field and adjacent land for the new K. U. Stadium.
The most potent factors entering into the selection of a site for the stadium were:
1. The cost, covering the earthwork and leveling the field, the cost of the structure itself, of approaches, whether new land must be purchased or not and finally the face that the title overlays with the Athletic Association and that the title is contingent on their being used for athletics.
2. Structural considerations, including the character of the foundations, the amount and character of excavation, facility in drainage of the field, obstructions to drying after a rain, etc.
3. Harmony with the campus plan, a very important factor. It would be a blinder indeed to locate so permanent and conspicuous a structure in such a manner as to preclude its fitting into a harmonious campus plan, when such is developed in detail.
4. Traffic considerations, including convenience of access, from Lawrence by trolley, automobile, and foot, and from improved highways and the railroad stations, whether or not on public roads, or parking spaces for automobiles, etc.
5. Lighting of the field. It is desirable to have the rays of the sun as nearly at right angles to the field as possible and the orientation of the structure should take this factor into consideration.
6. Availability of the stadium for municipal and other uses.
7. Utilization of space under seats for indoor track practice and other purposes.
When all these factors are taken into account the evidence seems to be overwhelming that the general location adopted in the most desirable
Thus far, only the general site has been selected. Careful study will be required to fix the exact position of the structure on this site, in order to make it fit into a campus development plan Fortunately, the chosen axis of development for the campus is at such an angle that can be satisfactorily adjusted to avoid objectional facing of the sum on the gridron and on the baseball diamond and yet not be awry with other structures on the campus.
