TOPEKA KAN. UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NUMBER 162. VOLUME X. HARRY BURNHAM DROWNS IN KAW Senior Engineer And 'K Man Falls From Canoe To Surface Once HE COULD NOT BE RESCUED Lone Companion Sees Him Pitch From Boat in Swift Stream—Recover Body This Morning "The sad death of Harry E. Burnham has greatly shocked the whole University. He had made a large place for himself in our University community and gave fine promise for the future. There have been few students of the university whose boss would be so sincerely mourned. The University sympathizes deeply with his parents and family. "Frank Strong, "Chancellor." Harry E. Burnham, of Wakeeye, a senior engineer, was drowned yesterday afternoon about five o'clock in the Kaw river about 2 miles north of Lawrence near the west end of the island, where the south channel breaks away from the main HARRY BURNHAM stream. The body was recovered at fifteen minutes of six this morning. Burnham and Amos Johnson, also a senior engineer, were returning from Cameron's Bluff in a canoe. At the west end of the island Johnson went in swimming, while Burnham remained in the canoe. Johnson was swimming about 200 feet downstream below the canoe. Happening to glance back toward it he saw Burnham pitch into the water. Burnham came to the surface once, made one or two ineffectual strokes and then sank. He did not rise again. As soon as Johnson saw Burnham fall into the water he swam toward the bank. The current at that place is strong, and his progress was difficult. When he reached the bank he ran upstream and swam to the spot where Burnham sank. He attempted to find him, but failed. A couple passing in a canoe were hailed by Johnson. At first they paid no attention to him, so he ran downstream after them. When they heard of the accident they went to town after help while Johnson returned and continued the search. About 15 minutes had elapsed between the time Burnham sank and the time when the canoe passed. All during this time Johnson searched for Burnham. Help arrived in a short time from town. Efforts to locate the body were made. Early this morning a party composed of Johnson, Dr. Naismith, and several others went upstream and found the body with a grab hook five minutes after they had reached the end of the island. A sister of Burnham's came to Lawrence this morning, and his father arrived this afternoon. The body, now at Smith's undertaking rooms, will be returned to Wakeeney for burial. On the way upstream that day Burnham told Johnson that he could swim. Dr. Naismith and his intimate friends say he is a fair swimmer. Why he could not remain on the surface Johnson does not know, but believes that his lungs were filled with water at once, causing strangulation. The current at this place is strong, and the surface of water was covered with choppy waves. Unfortunately, the canoe did not overturn. The force of Burnham's fall caused it to shoot over the water for a considerable distance, precluding any possibility of Burnham's using it to keep himself up. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 5, 1913. Johnson does not know how Burnham happened to fall into the water. He had a paddle in his hand, which he loosened upon falling. Burnham was not very familiar with a canoe, and probably, for some reason or other, tipped it by learning too far. The water is eight feet deep at the place where the accident occurred. Burnham worked his way through the University and still managed to "make good" in *student activities*. Besides making his "K" in football last year as an All-Valley guard he make a track "K" this spring. To make his way he washed dishes and waited for dinner, then ran a laundry route. He ranked well in his studies in the Engineering school. Burnham was known among his fellows as a big, good-natured giant, a representative student in every representation remarkably well developed physically. Short funeral services will be held this afternoon at 4:30 from Lescher and Power's undertaking rooms, Dr. Powell in charge. Burnham's father and sister will arrive this afternoon at 3:05.

THEY HOPE Senior Memorial-Jayhawke Plan Failing-Allison and Hobson Still Work $350 is the probable deficit of the 1913 annual, according to figures given out by Allison and Hobson today. "The seniors did not take hold of the combined memorial and annual proposition very well," said Allison this morning, "and because we didn't get the necessary 300 signers that plan failed . "However, we're going to make an active campaign during commencement and hope to cut down the deficit considerably." Further work on the senior me morial has been suspended. HOSPITALITY THE WORD COMMENCEMENT WEEK Seniors And Faculty To Wel come Alumni Back To Mount Oread In order to enable old "grads" to meet former professors Chancellor Strong has requested the faculty to be on the hill both Tuesday and Wednesday of next week to welcome former students. Hospitality will be the key-note of this year's commencement, if present plans go through. ON THE KAW In addition, the entire senior class will act as a committee on reception and entertainment for welcome. Secretary Flint expects fully 500 Secretary Flint expects fully 500 alumni back. Because Potter Lake isn't, the annual commencement regatta will be held on the Kaw Monday afternoon of next week. K. U. BING ZIP ROCK CHALK 1912 QUIZ.

Murray, of the athletic board, says: "If the protest against Bishop holds it is all my fault, and no other's. I handled the case and decided. after reading the somewhat ambiguous ruling regarding to the case, that Bishop was eligible. The athletic board will probably take the matter up later on." Missouri has protested Bishop, claiming he is a freshman. Coach Brewer predicts that the Conference Board will award three of the four games won by Kansas to the Tigers on this account. Kansas may lose the Missouri Valley baseball championship to Missouri, through a technicality. Bishop came here from Fairmount. He was in the University two years ago, however, and with his new credentials offered, he claimed eligible for Varsity baseball. In the second round of the free-for-all tennis tournament, so far as reported, the championship of the university now lies between six men. For the third round Teachenor opposes H. Richardson, Hopper opposes Nees, and E. Richardson probably opposes Smith.

STUDENT UNION WILL BE READY NEXT FALL Men's Council Leases Second Story Of Lee Bryant's New Building On Adams Street FOUR HUNDRED WILL JOIN Petitions Circulated Last Week Were Popular Many Other Signers Will Come In Next Fall The Men's Student Council has made arrangements for a Student Union in the second story of a new building to be erected on Adams street by Lee Bryant this summer, to be rented three years. Over four hundred men signed the petitions circulated by the Council members last week. These men agreed to become members of the Student Union next year, provided the council could obtain proper quarters. Two smaller rooms 25x20, available for student organization meet- The rooms are to be ready for occupancy when school opens next fall. The second story will be 50x75 feet, divided into three rooms. The largest will be in front, opening on a balcony, to be used as a lounging and reading room. A piano will be placed in this hall. The Council is planning to buy about $500 worth of furniture for the Union, although it does not intend that those men who become members next year shall pay for all the furniture. If present plans are carried through two large reading tables, two smaller tables, six dwarfports, eight rocking chairs and several dozen straight back chairs will be purchased. The piano will probably KANSAN BOARD PICKS MISSOURI NOT CRAZY NEXT FALL'S OFFICERS ABOUT K. C. GAME New officers for the Daily Kansan fall were elected last night in four.

A POST CARD WILL BRING YOU YOUR FLUNKS Do you want to know the worst? Write your classes and the name of your school on an addressed post card, ease up to the registrar's office and slip it through the window. Then, after a week or so, the horrible news of your flunks will be forwarded to you by Geo O. Foster. "In order to get this permanent building, the men must show that they really want it. The way those petitions were signed last week certainly looked promising. A great number of men were not asked to sign because school was so nearby out; few refused to sign. In our year's plan as they seem to be doing, there is no question that a permanent Union will be erected in the next few years." "In my opinion this is the biggest thing that has ever been started for the men of the University," said President Dodd this morning. "Only one result can come out of this movement and that is in time a permanent Student Union building on the campus. When asked about the plans for next year President Dodd said that they were working out very well. "The chief object of a Student Union is to provide a place for the men to get acquainted with each other and these rooms will serve ideally both as to location and arrangement. I hardly believe we could have done better on the start." It's sad to contemplate but murder will out, so you might as well make arrangements to find out about those grades during the summer. They will not get any better by next fall. be rented. Newspapers and magazines will be subscribed for and other plans for amusement will be combined and added if deemed plausible. Miss Willa Schmidt of Kansas City, Mo., a freshman in the College, has pledged Achtho. The Summer Session Kansan will issue twice next week, Tuesday and Thursday. Lucile Brown has pledged Alpha Delta Phi. Moral Objection Strongest In Tiger School, Says Missourian The petitions for taking the Missouri-knai's football game back to Kansas City next fall have not yet reached the Chancellor's office, accusing McKinley of making the cellerer's secretary. Nothing further about the game has developed. In response to the Daily Kansan's request for a statement of sentiment among Missouri students, the Daily Missourian today sent a mark-ing Missourian expressing the feeling at Missouria. In substance the editorial says: Both Kansas City and Kansas rooters would profit by the K. C game, but it is not fair to deprive a team of the chance of the benefits of a big game. Again, the alternating games give opportunity to prospective students to see both schools and size them up. If you have a different selection, however, is the moral one. Finally, Missouri says the only reason Kansas wants the game is a financial one, but that the game has never failed financially wherever it has been. "Since it is purely a matter of amount of profit to be made, argument becomes less significant because the moral and educational objections which involve the welfare of the students themselves." ... Seniors had better call on me. Quite a number are falling by the wayside and if they want to try to get fixed up, they had better hurry." George O. Foster, Registrar --- Glenn Porter, of Wichita, is visiting at the Phi Delt house.
