ONE CASE DEVELOPS
Walter White Supposed to Have Light Case of Typhoid Fever
WATER_ANALYSIS MADE
Typhoid Germs Not Found in First Tests
The only development in the typhoid situation is in the case of Walter White, c20, of Deerfield, who treated a patient yesterday. The typhoid gern has not been isolated in his case, but physicians state that it is precisely certain that he has typhoid. It is expected that the case will be a mild one as he had before.
A report on the water analysis was made this morning by a member of the hospital staff. It shows that the men at the club where the cases originated were using water from two wells. An analysis of the water of the Stout well, 1329 Kentucky street, showed the presence of B. Coli in large numbers, but no type of germs was present. The water from the Hargestellt well, 1325 Kentucky street is not yet completed. "The presence of the bacillus coli is, of course, an indication of contamination," said Dr. John Sundwall this morning, "and this is a general condition of Lawrence wells. It is believed by many that this bacillus will cause gastro-intestinal disturbances," he added. Dr. Sundwall stated again that all well water for these schools should be at least thirty minutes, and if possible, filtered also. Students should insist on this procedure," he said.
The students at the hospital, Burness Sharpe, and Howard McKibbin are doing as well as could be expected. Mr. Sharpe spent a good night, but Mr. McKibbin did not get along quite so well.
A report is expected at any time from the four students who went home with symptoms of typhoid. Dr. Sundwall has written asking for a copy of the case and cases but to this time none has been received. The students are:zel Fletcher, c'19, Hutchinson; J. B. Bennett, c'18, Crampton; Kansas; Versa Bramwell, c'20, Pretty Prairie, Kauai and P. H. Huxman, c'20, Hutchinson.
"Over two hundred students have been vaccinated but we want them to keep coming," said a member of the staff this morning, and we prefer to have them in the afternoon, because we need to take care of them at that time.
Another nurse has been added to the staff and is expected to arrive in June. Nobile, of Tonganoxie, and a graduate of the Rosedale Training School.
CHEMICAL CLUB MEETS
Professor Whitaker Tells of National Convention
At the first meeting of the Chemical Club yesterday afternoon in the Chemistry Building, Prof. W. A Whitaker spoke of the national chemical exposition which he attended recently in New York.
"Some of the most interesting features," said Professor Whitaker "were concerned with the large exhibition in the Grand Central Palace one acre square, consisting of displays of parts of a motor car made in an electric furnace; artificial inert gas furnaces for the company; carboic acid; manufactured by Edison; and coal tar products of the United Gas Company.
"Plans were made by the convention, to consider having a chemical magazine issued similar to the Popular Mechanics. A council is investigating the feasibility of such a project."
The next meeting of the Chemical
Room will be on 8th at 4:30 in
Room C Chemistry
PROF. W. P. HAYNEES TELLS
OF HIS SUMMER WORK
Prof. W. P. Haynes of the department of geology, in a lecture at Haworth Hall yesterday, told of the work done by the class of Harvard men under his supervision in the San Juan mountains of Colorado this summer. The young turkey had eight men and had two camps about ten miles from each other.
They took what is known as the "Circular Route" from Denver, including Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Canyon City. At Pagosa Springs they secured saddle horses and pack mules for the last part of the trip. The journey was difficult, for the trail was very steep. They were the principal work done by the class was to map the rock formations found there. Many interesting specimens were secured and brought back for geological study.

LAWS LIKE COLUMBUS
Declare Holiday and Walk Out— Breakers Ahead Say Profs.
Columbus Day like Christmas comes but once a year. Today is the day, according to the Laws. Consequently no classes were held in Green Hall except one or two Oral Interpretation classes.
It all started several years ago with the statement by Doctor Burdick that Columbus Day was a legal holiday and the laws were coming to school on a holiday. He has told this to his son, Billy, that he told him nothing ever came of it. This week a few of the seniors happened to recall the words of Mr. Burdick.
The senator law president, Baldwin Mitchell, called a meeting and it was voted to take a holiday today. The senator's brother, Armin, their upperclassman, and they declared a holiday through their president, Armin Barteldes. Not to be outdone the junior laws forced their president to leave the town, to follow the lead of the others.
"I had an intimation of the holiday Tuesday," said Prof. Raymond F. Rice this morning, "when my Tuesday and Thursday classes informed me about the holiday. I hoped for the best and went to class this morning, but no one was there. We will just mark them absent and it will be inexcusable. Uncle Jimmy Day is the only holiday which I can celebrate this holiday today is uncalled for."
Two law students were seen in the building this morning but one had lost a book and had come to hunt for it and the other had been absent for the last week and knew nothing of the holiday. Neither stayed very long.
FOR SATURDAY CLASSES
Forced to do Something Because of Record Attendance
Saturday classes may become a regular feature at the University.
The proposition is now under consideration by the faculty. A committee will be appointed in the near future to investigate the success of Saturday recitals in other institutes. The next step of making the change at K. U.
These were announcements made his morning by a prominent member of the club.
We are forced to do something because of the record attendance," he said. "We do not have enough room and even though we run an all day schedule five days in the weel, we are till crowded."
"The encroachment on the week-end holiday is not favored by faculty members any more than by the students, the faculty member continued. The student must be done. The utilizing of Saturday seems to be the only outlet."
If the Saturday class plan is adopted, it may result in a complete skupack of the present schedule of events. The weekend exitxia away from Lawrences.
"Landscape and Garden Design" will be the subject of the address to be delivered tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in Room 104, Snow Hall, by Herbett Hare of Kansas City.

AKERS FIRES VOLLEY
Charges Democrats With Unfai Use of Caucus Privilege
ASKS FOR STATE ROADS
State Treasurer Says Highway Bonds a Wise Measure
Earl Akers, state treasurer, talked "straight out from the shoulder" at the meeting in Green Hall under the auspices of the Hughes Club last
He charged the Democrats in Congress with putting measures through that would eliminate free action on the floor of the House of Representatives and Senate, and said they were acting constructively in the purposes of the federal constitution.
At the close of his talk, Mr. Akers outlined his pet hobby of issuing $25,-000,000 of bonds for the building of a university in Kansas. As an economic proposition, Mr. Akers insists such a measure would be a wise one. Mr. Akers invited University students to visit the treasury department when in Topeka.
He emphasized the importance of the Republican tariff principles and compared the individual records of Hughes and Wilson.
He asserted that the Democratic administration had been intimidated into passing the Adamson eight hour bill.
Ames Rogers, president of the Hughes Club announced that another meeting would be held within two weeks.
Consulting Engineers to Recommend Improvements for
WILL IMPROVE PLANT
With the legality of the bond issue for the purchase of the water system assured by a recent decision of the supreme court of Kansas, the city of Lawrence took a definite step toward the improvement of the water plant yesterday afternoon. Black and Veatch, consulting engineers of Kane City, designed the contract for the general supervision of the improvement work in Lawrence.
Under the terms of the contract the firm of Black and Veatch agrees to prepare all survey maps and other data with estimates of cost necessary for planning and works problem in comprehensive form to the city commission. Prior to the time bids are advertised for, plans will be submitted to the state board of health, the state utilities department, the police inspection and prevention bureau.
It is expected that considerable time will be necessary for the engineers to make a detailed study of the system and determine the improvements necessary. The work of drawing the plans of the system and the improvements will prevent the letting of contracts before the first of the year. After the work is started, an engineer will pervise the working engineer on the job to see that every improvement is made properly.
C. D. Bunker, curator of Dyche Museum, has just received two new specimens from the Director of the Greenland Museum at Brisbane, Australia.
The engineers will be paid a certain per cent of the cost of the improvements, half of which will be paid when the plans are completed and the other half when the work is approved and accepted by the city.
DYCHE MUSEUM RECEIVES
AUSTRALIAN SPECIMENS
A duckbill and a porcupine ant-eater, both native to no country but Australia, were sent to Mr. Bunken in exchange for small animals and skeletons of animals native to Kansas.
The duckbill is similar to a beaver in appearance and habits. It has a brown fur coat and a flat tail. It resembles a bird in several structural characteristics and in the shape of horns, which terminate on horns like that of a duck. From this comes its common name, duckbill.
The new specimens will help to complete the list of animals used for study purposes by students of the University.
The porcupine ant-eater has a structure similar to the duckhill, and is covered with sharp white quill interspersed with smaller dark prickles. It is far long, narrow bill adapted to catching the ants upon which it feeds.
Forecast: Partly cloudy and cooler tonight, possibly unsettled in eastern portion. Friday generally fair and cooler.

EXAMS AFFECT PRACTICE
Varsity Candidates Take Few Scholastic Chances
Another kind of enemy has appeared in the Jayhawker camp this week and is interfering seriously with practice in preparation for the Ames game. Many of the players are not reporting for practice because of approaching examinations. Numerous Jayhawker candidates prefer to study instead of taking chances on being eliminated by school officials, as is that Connolly Olecct and Clark are directing a short handed crew this week.
Foster, quarterback, was limping with a sprained ankle. To fill the hole, Captain Lindsey was shifted to quarterback. The play of the Oklahoma wonder proved a sensation. In seriumpractice against the freshmen, Lindsay played every game. Those who have watched Lindsay's work for several seasons say that he has never displayed speed like he did yesterday. Lindsay is credited through the Missouri Valley as being the possessor of a sound football head. His ability to heave the forward pass makes him an ideal player; may cause the Kansas mentors to call on Lindsay to pilot the eleven in important games.

TAX FIGHT GROWS
County Club Support Gives Impetus to School Fund Wrangle
The mill tax proposes a special tax of 66-100ths of a mill. It will bring the general tax levy down and only makes a special tax levy for state institutions. This levy is to be apportioned among the state schools according to the enrollment. In this way each school will know how much money it will have each year. As it becomes a proportionate extremely low, while the next legislature may give a large amount. Some schools have been shown more partiality than others in this matter of appropriations.
The fight for the mill tax will be started next week by the County Clubs of K. U. Instead of the present special tax assessed every year by the state legislature, the mill tax, if imposed, would be a regular running fund for the maintenance of state institutions of higher learning in Kansas.
The mill tax will not provide for any money to be spent on buildings the institutions having to go to the legislature for appropriations. Every session of the legislature finds much time wasted in discussing the amount each school should have in its annual appropriation. The only thing the schools are sure of, under the system of maintenance is their existence. The proposed tax means a better managed University and will be in this manner a direct benefit to all students in the state schools.
If the mill tax is passed by the coming legislature, which meets in January, it will then be voted upon by the people of the state before it becomes law. If it is not passed of the state will have to be amended. Every state institution realizes the importance of the law and all are working for the passage of the act. In other words, in K. U. is co-operating with the other organizations to secure the mill tax.

MARSHALL HITS HUGHES
Declares G. O. P. Nominee is Wall Street's Tool and Party Capital's Football
"OLD ISSUES ARE DEAD"
Fight of Today Between Aristocracy and Democracy, Marshall
The Democratic party is in at
patriotism. The Republicans are out
and want to win.
"I would gladly discuss the issues of the campaign," he said, "if my observation were sufficiently keen to find them. But it is not."
Thomas R. Marshall, vice-president of the United States, yesterday told a large audience in Ecke's Hall that the Republican party has thus far resisted any campaign paign issue and that the old questions that have spelled the difference between Republicanism and Democracy since the days of Jefferson are no more. The only live issue, he said, is aristocracy versus democracy.
Mr. Marshall accused G. O. P. of being under the dominance of capital. He characterized Hughes as Wall Street's tool.
He appealed to the "common people" to flock to the fold of Democracy where, he said, they would protect against the aristocracy.
He made a strong bid for the Progressive vote, declaring that the Democratic party has carried out the Bull Moosers in 1912.
"Abraham Lincoln, if alive today, would be a Democrat," Mr. Marshall said. "Because the Democraticocracy is an instructive organization in the field."
Vice-president Marshall defended the administration's foreign policy on the ground that it has preserved our rights and upheld the nation's honor has been upheld.
Bitterly criticising the Republican attacks upon Wilson, which he described as more attempts to find a way that what G. O. P. wants is war.
Mr. Marshall took several pot shots to bowevow whom he had a fake nose before him.
He urged an attitude of absolute neutrality toward the European nations, exhorting his hearers to "take off their English goggles and German spectacles and look at the Union with genuine American eyes."
Ask Permission to Translate Work of K. U. Men
ITALY AFTER MATH TEXT
Permission has been asked by the Italian government to translate a mathematics text-book written by U. G. Mitchell, of the department of mathematics at the University, formerly an instructor in mathematics at the University but now at Dartmouth.
"It is not unusual for Americans to translate foreign text-books," said Prof. J. N. Van der Vries, this morning, "but it is rare for foreigners to ask to translate a book which originated as far west as Kansas."
The book called, "Lectures on the Fundamental Concepts of Algebra and Geometry," is used as a text in teachers' courses. The first part was written by Professor Young, and the second part, the "Growth of Algebraic Symbolism," was the work of Professor Mitchell.
