Interested
Tomorrow's chapel will be given over to the Y. M.-Y. W. associations for a grand rally to start the new membership campaign schedule this spring. Schweiger will speak for the faculty.

Any student contributing to the support of the work is entitled to a membership card and documents from the office of the secretary. The campaign will end next Sunday, with a men's meeting at 4 p.m. At this time "Dad" Elliot, a prominent figure in the Y. M. A. will speak.
In explaining the object of the membership campaign Con Hoffman, Y. M. C. A. secretary, said to a reporter for the Daily Kansas this morning, "The Y. M. C. A. membership campaign which is to impress on some newswire is to be scheme of 'troping in' 500 or 600 men who agree to pay $1 or more and then feel that they have met all obligations involved. That does not and will not constitute membership in the local Association. It is expected that members will back up their members will 'back up' their money by participation in one form or another of the Y. M. C. A. activities.
"I am thoroughly convinced that most University men honestly reject the caliscorcats for which the Association stands, and will so declare themselves upon occasion. If put to the test, I should say they are 1000 such men here in school.
"This year's membership campaign will, in reality, be a census of the attitude of University men towards religious matters."

NEGROES ATTACK THE HOYT FAMILY
Mother and Son Victims of Assault—Case Dismissed In Court
MRS. HOYT STABBED ON ARM
Former Student Leaves For Chicago Today to Take Up Work on University Scholarship
Another chapter was added Friday to the story of Homer Hoyt's troubles, when some negroes, trespassing in an orchard belonging to the Hoyts, were ordered away. Negroes live in a round of land which Homer Hoyt and his mother own near Argentine.
Friday morning Hoyt saw three negroes in his orchard and told them to leave. They resented his orders to attack the blackmen with the assistance of her son. Negroes, men and women, armed with clubs, scissors and shotguns, came running and helped assault mother beaten and kicked. the knocked down, beaten and kicked.
A negro woman with a pair of scissors stabbed Mrs. Hoyt on the arms and face. By chewing Hoyt's finger, a negro held him so that other negroes could beat him; the assassins then drove away. He assisted the two injured persons to their home and summoned a doctor.
Warrants for the arrest of twenty-five negroes were issued by the Wyandotte county prosecutor, charging them with taking part in a riot.
Trial was held Saturday morning in the "jack-rabbit" court at Turner. Most of the negroes were in court, with the exception of the escorted the scorpions who was from out-town and had returned home.
Joseph Brady, police judge of Kansas City, Kansas, appeared as attorney for the negroes. He pleaded that there had been no premeditation among the negroes who took part in the riot and the forcure of some white men; not to be held. A negro attorney made an impassioned plea for fair play for the colored man, and pointed out that there was only the word of two or three whites as against that of more than twenty blacks. Washington ruled that there was no evidence to show premediation to the riot.
When seen by a reporter for the Daily Kansan Saturday, Homer Hoyt showed the effects of his rough treatment to the child. His hand was so badly chewed that it may have to be taken off if infection sets in.
"Tell my friends in Lawrence," he said, "that I regret to be mixed up in an affair of this kind. What I did was in self-defense and to protect our property. I am sorry that, that ended as it did, I seem to be unaware any justice here. I am leaving tonight for Chicago. My mother will join me in a few weeks, if it would not be safe for her to remain here alone."
