Davis Denies All State's Charges in Bribery Case
Ex-Governor Did Not Know of Peterson's Offer to A. L. Oswald,
He Says
Topkie, May 18—Jonathan M. Davis, former governor of Kansas, this morning completed his sweeping denial of the charge that he solicited a bribe for the parole of Walter Grundy, Hutchinson banker.

"I told Peterson that Oswald was a "I young attorney of Hutchinson and interested in the Grundy matter and asked Peterson to inform me about the Grundy bank case," Davis said. "Did Peterson ever tell you that he owned Grundy's parable for Oswald in consideration of $4,000?" Davis was asked.
"No, he did not," replied Davis. Davis denied that he said anything about removing Chancellor E. H. Lindley of the University of Kansas from office in his conversation with Oswald, as the latter testified. The two disagreed over the office no encouragement to Oswald in regard to paroling Grundy.
Davis was questioned closely on cross examination as to the business activities of his son, Russell. The latter is alleged to have sold a pardon to Fred Pollman, ex-convikt, for $1250.
Apparently Attorney-general Griffith, who examined Davis, was attempting to show that the former governor and his son were closely associated in a business way. Davis also claimed that complete charge of the Davis farm.
The former governor testified that he told his son early in January he thought he would pardon Pollnman. This was before Russell went to Kansas City to talk to Pollman about the pardon.

Farewell Parties Will
Be Two Nights Only,
Savs Dean Husband
Whole University Will Dance at Affair of Governing Associations
With the school year nearing a
close much thought which is not
given to finals dwells upon "Farewalls."
According to Dean Agnes
Husband, it is very probable that
plans considered earlier in the year
for an all-University farewell party
will go through. The party which
will be given by the combined Wo-
ren's Men's Student Council
will be held at the gymnasium,
Wednesday, June 3. It will be a 2 o'clock party.
The farewell parties for fraternities will also be authorized until 2 o'clock said Dean Husband, but they must be held on the nights of June third and fourth. None can be held afterwards.
The University railings and the date rule will still be in effect on the above mentioned nights allowing the regular maximum limit of 45 minutes to reach their respective houses. The university's meal for breakfast will be allowed by the authorities. This may be contrary to the err-neous opinion held by many to the effect that school is out with the closing of the finals. According to Dean Husband school is not out until after the commencement exercise, but for only the shortest pf time until the summer session begins.
All confidence is expressed in the student body by the University authorities and it is believed the students will respond by doing the right thing. The teachers that men assume the responsibility of getting the women in on time.
There has been much complaint made by the citizens of the town beforefire because of the noise made by students during the course of farewell evenings. It is strongly urged that the University students be as considerate as possible of their neighbors.
