Decision Came Yesterday Afternoon
—Student Not Yet Sentenced
—Laws Attend Trial
Justin B. Hinsaw of Winfield, a member of the middle class of the School of Law was found guilty yesterday afternoon in the district court of having aided James Henderson, alias Roy Adams, in passing bogus checks in Lawrence and Hinsaway with $62.50 according to a verdict returned by the jury, and wrote the checks from which the money was obtained.
The case has attracted an unusua amount of interest and the court room was filled to its capacity during the trial, by University students and classmates. The defense has ten days in which to appeal. It is not known when Himshaw will be sentenced. Henderson, who implicated Himshaw in theurrent state's eviwment was sentenced to an indefinite term in the state reformatory at Hutchison, by Judge Smart yesterday morning.

Rilling warred on the stand and the testimony of Henderson was what convicted him.

Kansas City Man Invent Apparatus in Department of Physics to Locate Texas Treasure in Sabine Pass.
SEEKS BURIED GOLD WITH K. U. MAGNETS
LOOKS O. K. SAYS PROFESSOR
E. F. Stimpson Thinks Mr. Halter man's Principle Correct—Can't judge Perfected Machine
B. C. Halderman, superintendent of the Kansas City fire alarms has been working on an instrument to locate buried treasure, with a new tus from the former member of physics, who believes he has discovered something worth while.
His instrument is a delicate magnetic affair which is supposed to locate any considerable amount of metal buried close to the earth's surface. Mr. Halderman believes he has charts in his possession that show the location of an Ottoman Santa held a treasure of $200,000 in the Sabine Pass in Texas and with his "treasure finder" he hopes to locate the cash.
"Yes, I believe Bert Halderman has found something," declared Prof. Edwin F. Stimpson, of the Physics department, when asked concerning B. C. Halderman's invention of a treasure locator. "Mr. Halderman's principle is undoubtedly correct," continued Professor Stimpson, "but I haven't seen enough of his apparatus to know how far along he is in the perfection of the machine. There is no reason why the machine cannot be perfected and made to work."
"Hallderman was in Lawrence this fall and we loaned him instruments with which to make his tests. While here he did not make tests as to the main idea of his invention but only as to the inventor. The inventor has been with the Kansas City fire department for fourteen years and I know him well."

TO REALLY START A CLASS MEMORIAL?
Junior Plan Tangible Result From Much Talk and Sentiment Which Flooded Mount Oread Last Year.
MEETING COMES NEXT WEEK
Class Considers Selection of Chimes as Memorial to Replace Hourly Whistle or Clock
The movement started last year for class memorials has been taken up by the junior class and a definite plan of assessment was adopted at a meeting of the committee this week. A large clock in the tower of the Museum building or a system of chimes to replace the hourly class whistle are the two gifts considered. The clock has been under consideration for a long time and attention to Harold Matton's chairman of the memorial committee, "the class is in favor of a large four-furred timepiece for the Museum tower." The committee is in touch with a number of clock companies and the cost of a clock will be about $400.
The suggestions of the clock and chimes will be brought before the meeting of the juniors next week. If the chimes plans is adopted the chimes will be installed at some central place on the campus and will perform the duties of the class whistle.
The assessment plan adopted by the committee calls for two payments, one of fifty cents and the other of seventy-five cents. One assessment will be paid this year and the second next year. As soon as the money is collected it will be deposited with Registrar George O.Foster. Each junior will receive a receipt for his money and the receipt books will be checked in for a balance.
"This system will eliminate all graft and I think it will meet with the approval of the class," Chairman Mattoon said this afternoon.
The junior memorial committee consists of Harold Mattoon, chairman, Agnes Moses, Clara McDowell, Allert Ross, Sam Degen, Austin bailey, Elmer Rosewurm, and William A. McKinney.
A meeting will be held by the class
week end, probably in the afternoon,
after chap 6 to answer the question.
