Norton, Manual, High Man
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 17, 1920.
K. C. Field Star Scores 19 of Team's 22 Points in
Some day Dobson, Fisher, Stevensa and Hudson, will finish high school and enter the University, and then some other high school than Winfield will have a chance at winning high school track meets. But then there will probably be little Dobsons and Fishers, etc.
TIES RECORD IN F
The field was scattered and every race hotly contested. Norton won individual scoring honors and a big cup with his nineteen points, derived from firsts in the shot put, high jump, discus and fourth in the pole vault.
Stewart of Valley Falls and Kearney of Westport, ran a dead heat in the fifty-yard dash in 5-3.5 seconds tieing the intercollegiate record. The cloudiness of the day, with occasional afternoon, prevented any of the distance records from being touched, although the time generally, was fast.
BESSON AND KEANNEY TAKE HURDLE
The century dash went to Fisher without a great deal of argument who took the distance in 10 and 3-4 seconds. Fisher won his preliminary faster time, and Keaney had a longer faster time. The 120-vard high jump was Dohson of Winfield in a pretty race in 17 and 2-5 seconds, while Kearney of Westport, dashed over the 220 stick in 26 and 4-5 seconds.
The quarter mile race was divided into two races, each scoring for points. Lott of Central, took the first race from a fast field in 52 and 4-5 seconds, while the second race slower, Griffin of Burlington, winning in 53 and 1-5 seconds. Simms of the city is on a surprise on the city boys in the half mile when he broke the tape at the finish in 2 minutes 7 seconds.
ARGENTINA MAN WINS MILE
The mile was run as an exhibition event only, not counting in the scoring. Axtell of Argentina, played the under through the race, and跟进 well ahead, time 4 minutes, seconds.
McKnown of Pratt and Dobson of Winfield, had a merry time in the role vault. McKnown defacted the 12 inches at a district meet the day before, but could not go better than 1 feet 6 inches, and Dobson tied him this mark. Stewart of Valley Falls 4 place and Norton took out.
NORTON NEARS RECORD IN SHOT
Norton took both the broad and the
igh jump with ease, the distance
eight being 20 feet 4 inches and b ect 10 inches respectively, and tossed her 12-pound shot 46 feet 7 inches. this is the closest that anyone has probed Bonnie Rieber's record of 7 feet 10 inches in 1912 for some me. The discus went to wen tuck Winfield with a throw of 12 feet 10 inches, and Norton placed once.

TO GRANT WAGE RAISE
Standard Should Raise and Fal With Cost of Living Says Whitter
Chicago, May 17—Railway owners through L. T. H. Chairman, chairman of the conference of railway managers, will announce that the road lorad board here that the railroads are ready to grant wage increases to employees. The extent of the increase was not specified. It may be left to the action of the board.
Whittar urged a system whereby wages should be automatically increased or cut as the cost of living rises or falls.
Wage increases, according to Whittar, were to be passed on to the public in the shape of increased rates for passenger and freight service.
"Some parts of the demands by employees the board will probably find justified by the rise in the cost of living," said Whitaker in his state statement. Whitaker declared the railroad owners would stand by the board's decision.
Wage increases to employees in the last four years have totaled $1,300,000,000 or $3 per cup, he said. "The peak of the cost of living has increased," he said, and be added that the board should take this into consideration.
Insignia for the R. O. T. C. cadet officers appeared on the hill today for the first time. One, two, and three silver discs worn on the shoulder, where a regular wears his bars, designates the rank of second lieutenant, first lieutenant, and captain, respectively. Majors, lieutenant colonels, and colonels, wear one or two leather belts, respectively. The unit however, has no lieutenant colonel or colonel and so only one diamond appears.

CECIL HOWES SPEAKS
Topeka Correspondent of Start Tells Journalism Classes Of His Experiences
"Politicians always want publicity; and one of the main things the Topake correspondents have to do is to decide how much of the stories given out by politicians is news. Some public officers even go so far as to mention them about themselves and what they have done. In such cases, we see how soon we can lose the story, and then we write it", said Cicel Howes Topake correspondent of the Kansas City Star, this morning. Mr. Howes told me three journalism classes, telling his experience as a political correspondent.
"a governor of Kansas some years ago repeatedly gave out stories and, then if he saw the sentiments excerpts from his own stories having issued the story. This got the correspondents in 'hot water', and finally we had to refuse to use anything from him except stories given us in writing so that we could read them. That is one of the few cases where he comedown has written stories for us."
"The general attitude of newspapers is against printing any of it, since the government so flooded the newspapers during the war."
"One difficulty correspondents sometimes have," said Mr. Hewes, "is with politicians who give cut statements, and later deny them."
"In such cases, I think partial blacklisting is advisable from the reporters viewpoint. There are few newspapers that present the present time, however, just as there are few reporters who do not have their pet blackbirds, of those men whose names they will not al-
"Publicity is a big thing with all politicians, but the campaign publicity, usually put out by publicity bureau, is so often distorted that few papers will print it. As a whole canned publicity" is *pur* bunk*
Sphinx will meet at the Delta Upsilon House at 7:45 Tuesday night. Very important to discuss Spring Shuffle. Deacon Wynn, Pres.
Daniels Accuses Admiral of Ef fort to Make "Rubber Stamps" of civilian Head
ASSERTS SIMS TRIED TO PRUSSIANIZE NAVY
"Opposes American System"
and Secretary "Has no Quarrel With Officials Who Favor Military Authority
Washington, May 17—An efforts to Prussianize the American navy and make a "rubber stamp" of its civilian head was the move headed by Admiral Sims, Secretary Daniels declared today.
Resuming his testimony before the Senate naval affairs investigating committee Secretary Daniels turned up at a news conference in Sims and those who support him.
"If you have not already seen the cloven hoof, you will find it in a deep-seated determination to reorganize the navy department on approved Prussian plans by taking all authority away from the civilian forces." The evidence here has disclosed a desire to misrepresent the secretary of the navy because he was not a 'rubber stamp secretary.'
"I have no quarrel with any officer who believes the Prussian system is better than the American, or whether the German army other centralized and military rather than civilian authority in the navy department. But most of the theories advanced have but served to camouflage their desire to make a civilian secretary a 'rubber stamp' by writing on him; draw his salary and to 'sign them.'
"They want a Germanized navy, before the war, some of the officers openly avowed that the German plan of organization was their model. One of Admiral Sim's chief objections in his letter of January 7 was to bring about this investigation, the power of the secretary and the power of the secretary as far as possible from civilian control.
"I if congress believes that civilian control is a great evil, let it follow Sim's lead, create a general staff on the German model and let some German generals have no camouflage. Let it provide a general staff or provide that some admiral shall fill the position of the navy and sit in the President's cabinet. That would be the only way, rather than to put some Sima behind it, the secretary of the navy as a clerk, messenger boy, and rubber stamp.
"If this committee desires to raise that issue, I am perfectly willing to go to congress and to the country on it."
