THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WILL SETTLE DAMAGE BY JOINT COMMITTEE
No Action Has Been Taken by Victims of Street Car Saturday Night
NUMBER 22.
Says It Was Justified
Pulling of Trolleys Might Cause Them to Break Endangering Students
No action was taken at a meeting of the committee today. No criminal action has yet been instituted against the moderator when he violated University student, and Reid Logan, Lawrence High School boy Saturday night. It is not known whether civil action will be instituted by either of the injured officers or the Electric Utilities Company which operates the street railway system.
Settlement of damages caused by University students in the night shirt parade Saturday night will be arranged by a sub-committee of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, which is affiliated with the University of Kansas. Members of the committee are: Mayor George L. Kreeck, Superintendent of Schools R. A. Kent, and T. J. Sweeney, for the city; and Joe Schwarz, cheer leader; John Monteith, president of the University; and Dean Butler for the University.
"The motormen were told to return to the barn if they were bothered by students," said J. T. Skinner, an officer of the Kansas Electric Utilities Company this morning. "They did not ask us there would be no jerking of trolleys, and the men started out with less unanimity than is usual during a rally. In view of the unusual conditions involved, we have taken no action against the car which injured the two men." He is still running his regular route.
When asked what excuse could be given for the motorman driving his car on the east track, he said, "Why shouldn't he?" The track is there isn't it? The car was unmade and the driver was kicked out. It was stopped by the crowd. Hence, it retraced its route to the barn. But the point at issue is not the fact that two men were injured; the important point is that if students do not stop pulling troops off the wires, a wire will endanger the students.
Eyewitnesses of the accident say that the car had gone completely past the students and had an unobstructed path north, before the motorman started back through the crowd.
"It was thought unnecessary to sit the cars on Massachusetts street en tirely for the parade, as orders were given that cars should not turn. This order was obeyed during the real parade, cars following the students from Eleventh to Eighth Streets. It was only after the parade had broken up and become a mere crowd that I tried, justially, to break through."
A. E. F. Club will Conduct Red Cross Drive on Hill
This is also denied by participants in the parade, who say cars tried continually to break the line, a dumb back back by intervening motor cars.
"We are doing our best to strengthen the interest and enthusiasm for the regular activities of the school and are ready to boost any new movement that may start on the hill if we consider it good," said Wlj! Studer, president of the A. E. F. organization of the University, "We attend all games, athletics contest and rallies, etc., showing them in a body and contributing to the spirit of the Prof. W. W. Davis, the A. E. F. organization will conduct the Red Cross drive to be staged on the Hill soon. We want more spirit to be shown in student athletics."
Those members of the A. E. F. organization who were in recreation work in France and others who desire to take part are planning to give semi-monthly entertainments. The plans for these entertainments are not complete, but it is believed they will be given Wednesday evenings and if any admission price is asked it will be small.
All members of the Black Friars urged to attend short business meeting to be held in Fraser Hall Wednesday night, Room 218, at 12:30 'o'clob
Bachelor Rector Wanted For Church in Nevada
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 14, 1919.
New York, Oct. 14—The Episcopal Church is in quest of a bachelor rector to occupy the smallest rectory in America.
He must be a bacchiner, for the smallest rectory is far too small for a rector with a wife, and quite often with a rector with a wife and children.
The smallest rectory is at St Mark's Episcopal church in Tonopah, Nev. The need of a bachelor to fill it has been brought to the attention of the heads of the Church's nationwide campaign in New York by the Right Rev. George Coolidge Hunting, D. D. missionary bishop of the state. The rectory has stood vacant. Bishop Crawford can now single man could get into it, "and there do not seem to be any more dale in the ministry."
But Bishop Hunting has found a way out of the difficulty. In his statement of the project for Nevada to be embraced in the campaign, he recommends a new rectory for St Mark's. "There is not a bed to be had in the town," he reports, "to say nothing of a house."

SELF GOVERNMENT ASKED FOR STUDENTS
Letter to Faculty Recommends Power be Taken by Student Interest Committee
More Power To Students
Senate Will Consider The Trans fer of Powers at Meeting Thursday
The Senate Disciplinary Committee wants to quit. In a letter to the faculty members it recommends that its owes be taken over by the Student interests Committee, giving the following reasons:
"There is a growing sentiment to the effect that the student body should have a greater participation and that, eventually, it should be in a position to handle all matters of discipline. The time does not appear to be right to turn to the whole of student discipline over to the student body. To do so, it is important of the Student Interests Committee, if disciplinary matters are turned over to it, the students will have a participation in discipline and the step will be a move in the direction of an appropriatement so much desired by all of us.
"The reason for the existence of the present Disciplinary Committee has been removed by the action of the University Senate in restoring to the Chancellor disciplinary powers in the matter of recent disturbances." The University Senate will consider the transfer of powers in their meeting in Room 110, Fraser Hall, Thursday at 4:30 o'clock.
Senate Seeks to Avert Strike by Coal Miners
Washington, Oct. 14 — Steps to avert the threatened bituminous coal miners' strike, set for November 1 were taken here today. Several suggested courses were before the Senate Commerce Committee for consideration.
In spite of President Wilson's illness, it was believed at the capital that he would be asked to outline a government policy to ensure that all the unmarried strike. President Lewis of the miners it was forciled will be summoned to Washington within a few days and the gravity of the situation put before him. Senator Robertson has agreed to work under the present scale until next April or until the war is officially ended. The issue now is whether they will stand by that contract or decline by reason of the war of the war.
Favors Public Ownership of Boston Street Railways
Washington, Oct. 14. —Unauthorized strikes are creating the places for the argument that it is not meant to recognize labor organizations or try to deal with them because the organizations will not obey their own rules and therefore make the orderly handling of business impossible. B. M. Jewell, acting president of the railway employees' department of the American Federation of Labor Hines' letter was in reference to the shopper's strike in Altoona, Pa. The letter was given out after word reached here that the strike had ended.
Boston, Oct. 14. —Ralph S. Bauer, for many years an advocate of public ownership of street railway systems and free rides for the public, has suggested to the special state commission on street railways that the Boston Elevated Railway Company's system should be run on this plan.
Bauer says that high street car fares are discouraging business expansion, and pointed out that the old custom of charging tolls on the country's highways had the same effect while that system was in operation.
In advocating purchase by the public of Boston's street railway system, Bauer argued that the street car rider is a "money and amenity device." He claimed that the street cars are used by those who give something of permanent value to the city, and that instead of paying for the privilege of using the street railway system, they should have paid for doing so without paying any fare.

COUNCILS MAY ENLARGE
All Students will be Given More Power in Governing Body
K. U. DAMES CLUB MET
To make student government through both the W. S. G. A. and the Men's Student Council, more really government by all students, was the plan suggested by the sub-committee of the Student Interest Committee at its meeting yesterday, according to Alberta Corbin, adviser of women.
The committee has suggested that membership, both councils be extended so that all groups of students will be more fairly represented in the government than any organization somewhat like the present house president's council of the W. S. G. A might be effective. This council is truly representative of all University girls because a representative from every rooming house should be elected and who regulates matters pertaining to house government.
The sub-committee further suggested that the two councils undertake some piece of committee work to support university students and the faculty m. co-operate.

Army Officers at Gary, Ind., are Rounding Up Entire Red Band
HOLD BOMB MAKERS OF MAY DAY PLOTS
Refuse to Discuss Arrests
Maker of Infernal Machines
Mailed in June Reported
To Be Held
United Praesent
Gary, Ind, Oct. 14—Army officers here said they today were now rounding up the entire band of bombers thought to have made Gary their headquarters in the Mines and June Lake areas. The civilians were grilled further to discover the entire plots. Officers suspected that a powder factory here now dismantled, may have unwittingly supplied the plotters with their explosives.
Army officers refuse to go further than saying they believed some of the plotters were under arrest. Details of the plot are not known, the motives back of it were withheld.
The bomb which wrecked one entrance of the Federal Building in Chicago last spring was laid to Anton Dorski, taken by the soldiers and later released to assist in the capture of the master bomb-maker, Ivanoff. To help with the reconstruction of bombs used May 1 and those distributed a month later.
Col. W. S. Mapes refused to discuss the arrests. The man who made the bombs mailed under "Gimpel Brothers" label is now reported to be undirest but a large number of his confederates are still at liberty. The man is said to have been identified by the peculiar construction of bombs found inside the building, fragmenting the internal machine which exploded on the doorstep of Attorney General Palmer's house in Washington.
The bomb makers, according to reports, was regularly employed in the steel mills at Gry until the strike was called and was one of the most violent agitators before arrival of federal troops.
Astronomical Almanac Shows Queer Calendars
One of the biggest books that can be bought for a dollar is the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac, which is published each year. The planet has 800 pages, and is full of interesting data collected from observatories all over the world. Semi-diameters of the planets are to be found in this book, as well as informational charts. A deli­clation of various heavenly bodies, which aid the astronomer in making his time computations. There is also data on the eclipse of the sun and moon, and accurate tables regard­
It also shows that a portion of the world is using a different calendar from the one which this country is using. In 1650, 280 of the Japanese era will begin January 1, while the Mohammedan year 1339 begins September 14.
Horse Racing In Canada May Benefit Good Roads
sintering a plan to make horse which is conducted on a high plaine there, work to the benefit of the general public.
New York, Oct. 14—Canada is issuing a plan to make horse
The plan advanced is to limit the returns of promoters to a fair percentage of profit on their investment and devote the remainder of the receipts of the meetings to a good roads fund.
Among the owners favoring the plan is commander J. K. L. Ross, owner of Sir Barton and Billy Kelly and one of the most prominent figures in Canadian and United States racing circles.
Discussing the project here recently Commander Ross not only expressed his approval of it but went farther by recommending a plan to make the public share even greater benefits from the sport. He wanted a part of the surplus devoted toward the breeding of better horses.
One day last week a young reporter was told by his superior that if he needed certain information he should "butt into one of those hard-boled lawns." That is asking a good deal of a beginner!

International Blockade Proposed Against Russia
Berlin, Oct. 14.—The Allies have proposed an international blockade against Russia. The suggestion was made to Germany today in a note which also was addressed to Austria, and neutral countries. The note received here follows the Allies' most recent note to Germany defining their role in the Baltic Sea and the presence of General Von der Goltz's troops.
The communication proposing the blockade on Bolshevist Russia asked what measure Germany was prepared to take in assisting the movement. At first it was stated officially here that Germany was willing to co-operate but the government did not. The feeling later however as expressed by responsible authorities was that Germany ought to decline as a matter of principle.

Plain Tales From The Hill
"This hill is a jink for the clocks," said Dean Tempin this morning. "The library clock is always irregular, the clock in Fraser made me late this morning, the clock on Blake Hall has never kept going, and even the sun dial south of the museum is out of order."
The Chi Omega have hardly gotten over the thrill of it yet. Late Saturday night, after they were all in, someone discovered that no one seemed to know what happened. After much excited talking it was decided that she had eloped with a young gentleman who has been taking more or less of her time later. Then they went to bed to bed thrilled with the excitement upon awakening that she had come home early and had been hidden away in bed.
Professor Boynton had just finished telling his economics class how women used to go out and pick their mates. At this moment a rap sounded on the door. A freshman answerer turned to Professor Boynton and said:
"A lady wants you, sir."
It is hard luck to be a Gamma Pi pledge. They haven't enough pledge pins to go around. One girl had to borrow one to Sunday to wear to church, but the owner was invited out to dinner so they had to designate a meeting place to exchange the pin immediately after church.
RAYMOND P. HENZE LEAVES UNIVERSITY
Appealed
Would Not Remain Unless Students Abandon All Hazing
To Authorities
Henze Had Skyrocket Career At University Of
R. P. Henze, whose rebellion against the freshman cap and its tradition caused a fight on the roof of Fraser Hall, brought about a special meeting of the Senate with the probable disbanding of the Disciplinary Committee and a complete change in student government, and possibly leading to an investigation by the Board of Administration is to quit the University. Henze said this rebellion was a reflection of belongings and would return at once to his home at 4208 Harrison Boulevard, Kansas City, Mo.
"The only condition on which I would remain at the University," said Henze, "is that the students agree to abandon all hashings and traditions so they am concerned. I don't suppose they would do that that "m leaving."
Asked as to whether he would attend school elsewhere, Henze said: "I may study law somewhere." "But you were specializing in chemistry here?" his questioner persisted.
"Yes, but if I can't get the chemistry I want some where else, I may take up law."
Henze said he was interested chiefly in chemistry as applied to photography.
Henze was the traditional "cloud no larger than a man's hand" when he first blew into K. U. Nor did he apparently increase in size for several years after his marriage, but it seemed to exist in that dimensions had not some process of reasoning compelled him to write a highly rhetorical and defiant letter to The Lord Jesus Christ, calling him cap tradition. From that moment Henze ceased to maintain his figurative dimension as a "cloud no larger than a man's hand," but grew and grew in the eyes of certain air spirits until they could see little else.
The storm broke last Tuesday at noon, when Henzel was seen wailing over the roof of Fraser with a gag of paddle-armed students in the fire escape after his Henzel bleached the instructor and pluckily fought off his assailants. The chancellor and John M. Shea, plus a few janitors, finally caused a precipitation from the roof and Henzel was taken into the chancellor's office for protection. On a proposal from his assistant, the Fraser Hall, Henzel agreed to dive into Potter Lake if the paddling would be eliminated. Chancellor Strong advised Henzel that he did not have to accept such a proposal and that he would protect him. But he did not receive the fair and humiliated pungg the gang to Potter Lake. According to a statement by the chancellor Henzel seemed rather to enjoy the experience he was having and was not a bit excited. At Potter Lake Henzel made a beautiful dive. He swam ashore, where he was playing with squirrels in the moll, yelled, "Keep him in. Keep him in." The crowd of students, however, realized that Henzel had filled his part of the bargain and that it would be dangerous to keep a man in the cold water, so the urge of the idiot
STORM EROKE LAST THURSDAY
APPEAL TO GOVERNOR
Henze's next move was to appeal to the authorities in the Capitol at Topkaka, a move which is rumored to have started an investigation of the Henze hazing by the Board of Administration. This morning Henze blew into the office of The Daily Kansan, calmly read two plainly-pressed signs that warned against removing papers from his desk and removed them, and removed them. Having disregarded the request that private property be not disturbed, Henze then sought some one in authority to whom to pay the price of the papers.
