BUDGET COMMITTEES IN JOINT SESSION
Senate and House Trying to Agree Upon School Appropriations
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH. 3, 1913.
SENATE OPPOSES ANY CUTTING
Difference May Lead to Final Discuss ion on Floor and Indefinite Delay in Adjournment.
Special to the Daily Kansan.
Topeka, March 3.—The conference between the ways and means committees of the house over the appropriations for the state educational institutions, which is scheduled for today is being carefully watched by the legislators in both branches because of the bearing it may have on fixing the time for the final adjournment of the legislature.
Under the division of the work agreed upon early in the session, the house committee was to prepare the executive and judicial and charitable appropriation bills, and the senate committee to prepare the bills making appropriations for the state educational institutions.
All went well until the senate committee had completed the educational bills and referred them to the house committee. The latter committee went through the bills and decided to cut out a quarter of a million dollars of the allowances to the University, Agricultural College and State Normal College. The highest financial College was the heaviest loser in these reductions, but a cut of nearly $100,000 in the allowances to the University was proposed.
The senate committee, according to Chairman Shouse, is not disposed to back up an inch on its action in the preparation of the bills and the conference today is being held with a view to getting the house to accede to the wishes of the senate committee.
Edwards to Philippines in May.
Unless such an agreement is reached it is very likely that the whole question of the appropriations for the educational institutions will be fought out on the floor and the final adjournment may be indefinitely postponed.
Wayne Edwards, senior in the College, will sail for the Philippines in May. He took the civil service examination recently and was notified to be ready to sail this week. How would he respond, good or bad, he received a telegram stating that his appointment would not take effect until May.
The Gamma Omnicron chapter of Kappa Sigma will entertain its alumni and the Washburn chapter with a dancing party at Ecke's on March 14.
Scoop club will meet at the Beta house Thursday evening at 8 o'clock Old and new members all please attend.

Every time a move is made the new position is sent on a post card to the other team. At present each side has made eight moves and it is "our" time to move.
The club here now comprises twenty men among them H. E. Steele, J. M. Orton, Paul Raymond, Harry Siefgried and Prof. J. J. Ware are recognized as possessing heads especially adapted to chess.
Meetings of the club are held every Saturday evening. This week's meeting will be held at the home of Paul Raymond, 1338 Ohio Street.
TEMPLIN TELLS OF MADERO AND MEXICO
Often Saw the Late Madero, Who Helped Friends Too Much
Dean Olin Templin of the College spent five weeks last winter in the City of Mexico. He is therefore foll-owed by a number of other interest in that city with much interest.
"Many of the places mentioned in the dispatches as those being destroyed are familiar to me," said the Dean this morning. "I used to visit the American club which was destroyed, and once sat under the picture of the later President Madaro."
"I often saw Madero, who was rather small and not at all the man one would pick out in a crowd for the ruler of the country. His face was keen-looking, but he appeared more like a teacher than a president. The Madero family is numerous and very rich, owning millions of acres of land. The late president is a graduate of an American college and a younger brother has just graduated from Cornell."
"Madero was popular in Mexico City and all admitted that he was endeavoring to give the country a good government. He lacked iron enough to kill his enemies, many of whom he held in prison, but when they released they held no such scruples, as recent events have shown."
"His elder brother, Gustavo, who was executed before the president, was a thorough rascal, and after he was appointed minister of the treasury many felt that he was the real power behind the throne. Madero was also appointed to appoint many of his relatives to government positions."
"He was a thorough gentleman, and was simple in his habits of life. Each morning he walked in from his home, four miles from the city, and was met at the edge of the city by the presidential automobile, which carried him through the city to the palace."
Ward Hatcher spent Friday and Saturday in Kansas City.

SKULL AND K WANTS A MEMORIAL 'WALL
At Louisiana street strange actions to mark the train's dess
Fence
Would Let Only Seniors Sit On Sacred Stone
He took his place in the coach, the conductor released the block of wood that served for a brake, jumped aboard the engine behind the driver and the train started, gaining momentum each foot.
The suggestion is to construct a memorial which will be distinctly for the benefit of seniors in the form of a wall on which only seniors may sit.
Following the recent agitation in favor of having class memorials, the senior society of Skull ank K. k has been announced in man which is now under consideration.
"I think this is a mighty good proposition for memorials," said "Doc. Coats, a member of Skull and K, this morning, "and I believe all seniors should get behind it. We need more traditions here, and something like this will make a good start, in my opinion."
Plans for financing the wall will be given out later.
The water in the drinking fountains has a milky and unpleasant appearance today since the uncertain pressure and lack of water yesterday stirred up the water. However the tests show it fairly safe for drinking.
Ralph Winger, editor of this year's annual at Baker is visiting at the Kappa Sig house and will attend "Julius Caesar" tonight.
ADAMS STREET LIMITED CARRIES FIRST PASSENGER
Skull and K is open to further suggestions.
Baker Editor Here.
At 5 o'clock Friday afternoon an express train reposed in expectancy at the top of the Adams street in London consisted of an engine and one coach.
The tall man reached in his pocket Yes, he would try it.
"Only a nickel for the ride down
the hill, and I won't out the con-
ductor as he humped
A tall man with a mass of brick-hued hair appeared at the turn in the walk. "Ride down the hill miser? It only costs a nickel," shouted the conductor, a note of hope in his voice.
Water O. K. if Muddy
Professor Jordan of the mathematics department is making some curious studies or observations in regard to the accuracy of students' work. He expects this study to increase the efficiency of his class work.
"Only five cents to ride down the hill," shouted the pigmy conductor, "No stops this side of Tennessee. No stay a nickel—who's going down."
The stream of students starting on the downward path hesitated, wondering who would be the sport or the play as as the developments might prove.
Send the Daily Kansan home.

cent. The velocity of the rear coach began to exceed that of the engine due to the difference of weight. It ceased to follow directly in the trail and veered from side to side with increasing rapidity. The deviations became so great that they affected the steering of the engine.
"I want off at Tennessee," he shouted ahead to the engineer. The engineer nodded, and swung the train toward the door of the suit preparatory to making the turn.
They sped past Ohio.
The snow from the steering apparatus (which consisted of the conductor's foot) flew into the passenger's face and he made heroic efforts to dodge it. The turn was made successfully, though DePalka taking a turn at ninety miles would have been faster than a coach swung wide with a swiftness that made it seem a miracle that the engine escaped overturning.
The tall man stepped from the coach and brushed the snow from his clothes. He handed the conductor a coin and walked away with the joyous air of one who has escaped certain death.
His name—well, we never intend to take pharmacy anyway—it was Professor Emerson.

US A COMBINED TIGHTWAD
A Graduate, Senior, Instructor Saves $3 by Crafty Scheming
It's great to be a member of the faculty, a senior, and a graduate all the same time.
One such person on the hill saved himself $& by judicious use of his firearm.
He is, we repeat, a graduate student, a senior, and an instructor. So when he went to get his annual and also his somewhat handsome face in the annual, here is the way he figured it:
Annual price at present, $3.00.
But to graduates the annual will be sold for $2.50. So he signs a graduate blank for his annual. Saved 50.
Regular rate on pictures, $9 a day; to seniors $7. So he gives his girls the same rate.
He eats at Lee's College Inn.
Rate to get your picture in the annual, $1.50. But to professors, $1.00. His picture goes in as a professor. Saved .50.
Such is the depravity of human nature.
The entire annual board will meet Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7:15 in room 8, Green hall.
ET TU, HUNGRY STUDE,

For Four Bits 50 Kansans Sell Their Souls And Voices
FAVERSHAM TROUPE ASSISTS
Fat Painted Senators Are Your Friends—Notorious Students Appear in Togas.
Assisted by William Faversham and company, fresh from New York and other places of doubtful interest, fifty Kansas University students will put on a show at Bowersock theater tonight, starting promptly at 8:15, "Julius Caesar," or "Why the Glory That Was Rome."
Come one, come all! They get a nominal fee of four-bits for their appearance, the rest of the proceeds going for the support of the Faversham company, which is reported to probably be in a maybe state of rumored financial they say decrepiude.
"Salve. Salve." the Password.
Noise is what the hungry mob is paid for, and absence of mustaches. That's why "Chuck" Dolde back out of a job at the last moment; he refused to shave his cute little mustachio.
What-ho, varies, noise! And they deliver the goods.
They out-root any thundering thousand that ever appeared on McCook, but "Rock Chalk" is not much in evidence; "Salve, salve" seems to much more popular. They will give a growler when Anthony tries to break, and a modified "Kangaroo" when shear comes into the senate chamber.
Studes Good Shake-Spearians
Studes Good Shake-Spearians The students were rehearsed last night by Mr. Lionel Belmore, stage director of the company, who was very much pleased with his college actors and remarked:
"College students make very much better Shakespearean actors than any others we can get. They are familiar with Shakespeare and get into the spirit of the play easily. I am sure they would be alege mob than one which we pick up in a big city. They're softer picking."
When the curtain goes up you will find that your friends have discarded machinaids and English shoes in favor of Roman togas and sandles, and are "idle creatures" at "The Feast of Lupercal."
In act two they have become Roman senators, and you will find your classmates in flowing senatorial robes, sitting in the senate chamber. They'll be talking to each other, but not of Caesar, and Brutus and Casca, as you might suppose. Banish such thoughts.
Notice Harland Hutchings, the fat little senator in the second row; he is discussing the relative merits of the man Burdungy with the man at his right.
Number three in the second row is Allen Wilbur, the debater, who is talking football to earn his fifty cents. The first grave senator in the game was John Gruden, gassing baseball with one Glendon Allvine. (This is confidential; you are not supposed to know that their thoughts are in Lawrence and not in
