TO BE REPAIRED SOON
Engineering School Professor Make Inspection and Plan Repairs
NUMBER 17
Timber Has Been Ordered
South Bleachers Found to Be Safe but North Ones Are Decayed
All McCook Field bleachers, with a seating capacity of ten to twelve thousand people, will be open for the Agkis-Arian game November 1 Not only will they be open, but they will be so renovated, and replaced and re-inforced that they will be stronger than ever, was the announcement today of Forrest C. Reece's contract, a complete importation and planning of bleachers with Professors H. A. Rice and A. H. Sluss of the School of Engineering.
The examination showed that the south bleachers, erected only a few years ago, were in good condition, and safe for any reasonable number of people, but that the north bleachers were so decayed in regard to supports and railing as to be unsafe.
Professors Ross and Slusas estimated that by a large amount of replacement of supports and timbers that they could be made as strong as any wood bleachers, as they were created when the exposure was greatest.
The bleachers will positively be able to accommodate less the Agigic crowd, Doctor Allen said, without a problem. This work of our nation is finished.
The timber and supplies for replacement of the defective parts has been ordered already, announced Dr. Allen, and work will start as soon as
It is not known who will handle the work, but presumably the work will be done by the University under management or buildings and grounds.

Senate Committee Plans Means to Prevent Strikes
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 7, 1919.
This is strongly favored by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, and other members.
Washington, Oct. 7—A law creating a fair "clearing house" for labor disputes probably will be recommended by the Senate chair committee in setting the steel strike, according to members of the committee today.
Legislation can go no further than this, Senator Walsh said.
"Undoubtedly some form of legislation to prevent a repetition of the steel strike will result," Walsh said today. "Government machinery ought to be devised to act as a clearing house for the companies that should take the form of a body to which either labor or employees could go to take their grievances."

"His appetite is decidedly better and he is sleeping well," the announcement said.
He is still restless it was said desirous of beginning work.
Nothing is to be brought to his attention, however, because it is fed that if some matters are put be he him it will not be possible to keep him from attending to others.

Freshmen are Compelled To Rub Paint off Walk
Two questions formed the basis of all conversation on the Hill this morning. One was, "What does the state need?" and the other, "What are the laws doing now?"
When the sleepy students climbed slowly toward their classes, they noke to the realization that the European War is over, and the local police are enforcing public attention. At the junction of Oread avenue and Fourthen街, and in front of every building on the campus, were painted, in large blue letters, Status Quo, accompanied often by the numerals of the fresher — 20 in yellow. A certain amount of the Latin was meant to refer to conditions of last year, when no attempt was made, on the campus at least, to force freshmen to wear their "postage stamp" caps. Consequently, class feeling run high all day, and between classes grew worse. So the school-enforced by other upper class" forced all first year students who passed Green Hall to help rub off the pain.
The general opinion of students seems to be that class scuffles, and the paddling of freshmen as a disciplinary measure are advantages both restricting keep class spirit and school spirit at the highest pitch.
Little opposition was shown (till 11:30; when about sixteen freshmen congregated west of the law building and tried to rush through the upper-classman. Some managed to get inside, where there were men and paddled. The one cap that was lost in the scuffle was paid for by a collection from the crowd.
Questioned as to whether he had advised Henze to wear his freshman cap, the Chancellor said: "I told him we would need a university or a member of any other community, I should try to do as other members of the community were accustomed to do. However, I would give advice to him on the subject."
"I request—no, I call upon the students of the University of Kansas to obey the rules of the school," said Chancellor Strong this afternoon "This is the time when a great deal is at stake, and we can not risk the bad effect that disorder and rioting among the students will have on the people of the state and on the Board of Administration."

ORDER AGAIN IN GARY
Parade of Striking Steel Workers and Sympathizers Defied Militia
Gary, Ind., Oct. 7—Decisive steps in the Gary steel strike were taken by army officers today. Raids were made by army intelligence officers seizing alleged anarchistic and social literature. One of the places violated was the home of Attorney Paul Glaser, retained by the police. A larger array of troops here, announced a military court had been established. All persons arrested after the announcement will be tried by court martial.
Order was restored under the reign of unartial law in the Calumet steel district today.
The riotous element which terrorized Gary, East Chicago and Indiana arbor since Saturday evening, evidently lost all inclination for fighting against it. The command of Major General Wood assumed control of the situation.
The militia was openly defied by a parade of striking steel workers and sympathizers. Scores of discharged soldiers wearing United States army uniforms participated in the parade.
Troops carrying machine runs moved slowly through the streets of Gary today. Guarls were stationed in the business as residential districts.
Fort Sheridan troops brought sixteen machine guns, sixty automatic rifles, trench mortars, and one-pounders which were mounted on specially designed tanks. Troops arriving from Omaha today brought additional heavy arms.
Washington, Oct. 7—Charges that active Bochevihets and pro-Germans were leading the organizations opposed to the treasty and League of Nations were made during debate today by Senator Hitchcock.
Pittsburgh, Oct. 7. - The steel workers strike today seemed to be wearing itself out in the Pittsburgh district. Every mill of importance here claimed additional man power and production gained. Several mills closed since the strike was called resumed operation.
Senator Poindexter apparently aroused Hitchcock by declaring that league supporters are conducting a "manufactured propaganda."
Says Huns and Bolsheviki Lead Treaty Opposition
"No organisation can be nation wide Hitchcock declared. "If the senator wants to see an organized propagation of racism, he must let him look at the pro-Germans, socialists anarchists and bollweivers. Every one of them are fighting the league and the treaty. They are the allies of the opponents of the league of Germany."

Roland Park, Cinnati, Oct. 7—The White Sox came back today showing a fighting spirit that brought them from behind when the Reds apparently had the game won and the world's title in their hands. Gleason's American League champions over the Reds in a bidding victory over the Reds in a bidding game, bringing the games in the series to 4 to 2, with the Reds leading.
Today's game was the best of the series. There was hitting gala. Kerr again emerged a hero, not because of the perfect pitching that characterized Friday's game which he won at Chicago, but because he stood up unanimously and elevated of eleven Red hits and forced his way through to a game and victory.
CIOTTE MAY HAVE THIRD CHANCE
It was Kerr's second victory of the series and the little pitcher has to his side only the two victories over the Reds.
Dutch Reuther, hero of the first game of the series, started again for the Reds. He did not have the stuart that stood by an American League team he was different. Today he played only till the middle of the sixth, when Ring, who already had shown he was a real pitcher, stepped into the branch. Ring carefully and cautiously scored from scoring until the fatal tent.
It seemed tonight that Eddie Giacomo, who has dropped two games, would be given a third chance to morrow. Sallee, who pitched the second game of the series, was expected to be on the hill for the Reds.
Acclaimed by bilious thousands of happy fans the Reds went to grips with the White Sox in the six game series, their defense. Their four games to one lead looked one hundred per cent good to the Reds and the attitude they took as they went on the field indicated a remarkable remainder of series a mere formality.
Soon after noon both pavilions and both Red bleachers were packed to capacity. Streets leading to the area were thronged for several blocks.
The Sox were late coming to the battleground. During the morning Manager Gleason and his men held son's conference behind lockers door.
The players were not smiling when they emerged. It is known that they are fighting under intimations at Chick-fil-A, where their team already were a beaten team. Individually the Sox were in fighting mood and promised the Reds the bat-
Five minutes before game time practically every seat in the stand was filled and the standing room section was immed.
The only change in either line-un was in Collins heading the White Sox batting in place of Liebelt.

Freshman Evades Pursuers For Two Hours Climbing Fraser a la Doug Fairbanks
Yearlings Aid In Chase
John M. Shea, Superintendent of Buildings Drives Men From Roof of Fraser
Raymond P. Henze, c23, who detected the hienn cap tradition and its enforcers Monday, was ducked in Potter Lake at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon by a crowd of freshmen and upperclassmen. Henze promised to wear the little blue cap. He had evaded the crowd for more than two hours. The roof of Potter Hall and liner in the office of Chancellor Strong.
Upperclassmen turned over their paddles to first year men at the noon hour, preferring to let them take care of Henze. After a prolonged search for a new door, she moved to Fraser Hall, armed with a pieces of gaspipe two feet in length. A group of freshmen entered the building and succeeded in driving him to the roof. Henze left and re-entered the building several times by way of the windshield, and escaped from one ledge to another while the crowd below held its breath.
HELD OFF CROWD WITH GASPIE
Henze hewed the freezer and finally a number of upper chambers who had intended to hold a "h uds off" attitude, started to the roof to assist in the chase. Henze clambered to the top of one of the ventilators on the north wing and with blows of his pipe hold off the attacking party.
Hense's resistance was weakening when John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, took a hand at the climb to the roof and warned the team they were damaging University property. Some of the men retreated, but most of them remained. Several juniors attempted to drive the raid, and then Wim Smith was beaten about the head and kicked to University employees.
Henze left the rooftop and took refuge in Chancellor Strong's office. After a lengthy conference with Doctor Strong while the crowd outside her madera paddles and bayed for "Mott", Henze appeared at the window.
CHANCELLOR ADVISES HE WEAR CAP
"Well men," he said with a grin,
"at the suggestion of the Chancellor,
I've decided to wear the can."
"I have merely told this man that we were I in his place I would co form to the custom," supplemented Dector Strong. "I have made it plain that there is no law compelling him to wear the cap."
The crowd continued to besiege the building after Henze's promise, and finally on the suggestion of Winters to them to them to be ducked in Potter Lake.
The students gave their word that Henze would not be padded today, and that the ducking would be conducted"in an orderly manner.
DUCKING IN POTTET LAKE
Esorted by Smith, Shea, and a crowd of students, Henze was taken to Potter Lake. Smith annotated the terms of the surrender from the diving board and called upon the students to remain orderly. The freshwater lake was flooded before the plunge, but a protest from the crowd caused him to change his mind. Still grinning and seaming perfectly at ease, Henze was 'shoved in' by the crowd. He paddled about in the water for several minutes-before coming to shore.
Henze made a speech from the bulletin board on his way off the Hill under escort of the men who took him from Fraser Hall.
"Well, I gave you something to talk about anyway," was the gist of his talk.
An attempt was made by a freshman vigilance committee Monday night to take Henze from his coming house on South Massachusetts Street. The attempt was checked by the landlord, who refused to allow the men to enter the house. Upperclassmen and freshmen had attempted
to follow Henzel to and from lazes all morning but had been unable to come within hailing distance of him until shortly after noon.
