GERMAN PLAYS COME THURSDAY
TWO ONE-ACT COMEDIES WILL BE PRESENTED.
"Mueller as Scapegoat" and "An American Duel" Are the Plays—Special Costmues.
The German plays, postponed because of Ambassador Bryce's lecture, will be given in Fraternal Aid hall, Thursday evening May 5, at 8:15 o'clock, under the direction of Prof. E. F. Engel.
Two one-act comedies will be presented, "Mueller as Scapegoat," and "An American Duel." Both are typical German comedies. The first deals with the adventures of a German on his way from Berlin to the annual fair at Leipsiic. The leading role is taken by Allen Wilber and Miss Dalton plays the part of Salome "An American Duel," is a take off on American valor. No blood shed occurs in the duel, which consists of drawing lots and Alfeld, who wins is not successful in marrying the widow.
Prof. J. A. Campbell is the business manager and he has been successful in securing the costumes from Theodore Lieben & Sons, of Kansas City, which house supplies costumes for all the University plays. The program will be printed in German and the tickets will also be exact duplicates of the German theater tickets brought from Germany by Prof. Campbell on his visit to the Fatherland.
A detailed English synopsis of both plays, translated by Prof Kruse, was posted on the German Bulletin board, on the third floor of Fraser, Monday morning. This will enable those who may have difficulty in understanding the German to get a good idea o the play and enjoy the comedie as much as the advanced student and the natural-born German themselves.
OLYMPIC GAMES
Y. M. C. A. to Give Entertain ment Friday.
Arrangements are being made by the Y. M. C. A. committees for an interesting team Friday evening at the "Olympic games," similar to the entertainment given last year. The program will begin promptly at 8 o'clock and each event will be presented in the part of the gym mose suitable for it. Genuine athletics will probably be supplemented by some burlesque activities such as proved so entertaining to the crowd last year.
B. C. Root has developed the wrestling work so thoroughly this year that this part of the entertainment should prove especially entertaining. The tumbling gymnasts will be given an opportunity to perform and the boys who handle the gloves will occupy some attention. The relay race has always been a successful feature and promises to be wel worth while this year.
The affair is planned for all the ment of the University who enjoy an evening of athletic stunts Anyone who saw the games last year needs no special invitation to attend

LOST TO MISSOURI
Junior Prom Was Too Much for Ebright's Men—Score 11 to 3.
The terrible slaughter of the American youth that took place on McCook field Saturday afternoon is another proof that the game of baseball should be abolished by our Humanitarians. The brutal assassins were the gentlemen from the University of Missouri and the tune of the fatal transaction was 11 to 3. It claimed that there had been some kind of a party called a Prom the evening before which the local boys had attended and that this had detracted in a large measure from the ambition of the home lads.
Be that as it may, when the game started the K. U. players waltzed out on the field just as though they hadn't danced all night. Heizer began the pill passing for the local lads, but gave up in the third after the Tigers had gathered in three tallies. Seven then took the stand, but at the end of the sad third spasse was retired and Doyle went in to stop the slaughter. This husk, gentleman pitched exceeding good ball and until the ninth the team worked well behind him. In that sad, sad session the Tigers plucked four more plums.
The scores that the home had managed to negotiate came in the eighth and ninth. One run scored in the eighth when Smith hit for two bases and was pushed over the plate by sacrifices. In the ninth Young Mr. Harper, who threw for the visitors let down and a base on balls coupled with a wild pitch and three errors, let in two more of the red and blue runners.

As Result Charge of Murder Has Been Made.
SUBMIT REPORT.
Dr. E. H. Schorer of the department of bacteriology and pathology and L. D. Havenhill state chemist, submitted their reports Thursday on the analyses of the vital organs of Mrs. Potterton of Arkansas City, who I thought to have met her death by poisoning on January 14. As a result Louis W. Potterton and his foster mother, Mrs. Emma Allen have been accused of the murder of Mrs. Potterton and arrested.
The report shows that the five organs of the body which underwent the different kinds of analysis at the University, contained fourteen and a fraction grains of arsenic. This, the report says, might have been administered at long drawn-out intervals and in small doses or in larger doses The former method, it says, is the most probable, as the analyses showed that the virus had done considerable damage to the vital cells of the different organs. The ease is creating considerable interest throughout the state.

KANSAS LOST DEBATE
The Debaters From Missouri Won the Income Tax Question.
Kansas met the second defeat in one day at the hands of Missouri Saturday night when the decision of the judges of the dewent in favor of the Tigers by a bate on the Income ax Tqesution, vote or 2 to 1.
While the decision went to the opponents, the Missouri representatives failed to meet several of the arguments presented by the Kansas men and did not prove several of their contentions to the satisfaction of the audience. A point in dispute which was no decided was regarding the principle of taxation. Missouri contended that a man should be taxed according to his ability to pay. Kansas contended that a bman should pay taxes according to the protection received.
A strong point illustrated by Kansas was the number of states who had tried the income tax and resulted in failure. Missouri was represented by C. S. Byers and D E. Priestly. The Kansas representatives were R. M. Perkin and H. C. Marks.
LOST DATE CALENDAR.
And Now the Freshman Girl Wonders.
One freshman girl in the University has lost her date calendar.
For the month of April eighteen dates were scheduled and these have all been filled. But the trouble arises with the dates in May Ten dates were made for this month, but the co-ed does not remember with whom they were made.
Some of the girls of the upper classes are objecting to the number of dates these freshmen girls are having. One senior girl were so far as to appropriate the calendar on which a freshman girl keeps a record of her coming dates. Even the girls of the junior class are up in arms. It is reported that a petition will be sent to the Women's Student Council protesting against the practice of freshmen girls making dates as far ahead as September next year The freshman desires to request however that all men remembering the dates they have made will notify her of the time and place.
