MAD SQUIRREL IS FOUNDINLAWRENCE
COUNCIL ORDERS A MORE THOROUGH EXAMINATION.
University Authorities Will Search for Traces of Rabies Today- Victims to Rosedale.
Yesterday afternoon three boys in Lawrence were bitten by a squirrel, whose actions caused observers to suspect rabies, and as a result the city council at its meeting last night, ordered a number of the squirrels in different parts of the town to be killed and inspected by the University authorities. Dr. M. A. Barber and C. W. Hooper examined the squirrel that bit the boys for traces of rabies. Dr. Barber said this morning: "Mr. Hooper and I made a thorough examination of the animal and found it have all the symptoms of rabies."
The boys who were bitten by the squirrel were Elden Waller, Arthur Anderson and Willis Sayles. The Sayles boy found the squirrel injured a week ago, and nursed it back to life. It was supposed to have completely recovered from the injury when it attacked the boy. Eldon Waller was so badly bitten that he will be sent to the University hospital at Rosedale for treatment.
Dr. S. T. Gillispie, a city physician, called up the State Board of Health, which sanctioned the killing of any of the squirrels for examination. Dr. A. P. Hults, one of the councilmen, killed six or eight of the animals in different parts of Lawrence this morning. The squirrels are now at the University for examination.

ON ELECTRICAL POWER.
Professor Shaad Discusses Practical Side in Chapel.
George C. Shaad, professor of electrical engineering, spoke in chapel this morning in regard to the development of electrical power transmission in the United States in recent years. After referring briefly to the machinery necessary for changing mechanical to electrical energy, he spoke of the great increase in the last two decades in voltage powers of electrical plants.
California containing 150 cities and towns is now served by one system. The water power from Niagara falls is used to supply electrical power to New York cities as far east as Syracuse. Plants at Boston and Chicago also serve many people outside the local territory. Professor Shaad said that transmission of electrical power was only in its beginning in Kansas and that the time would come when every town of importance and many rural districts might secure a uniform supply from a central system at a minimum cost.
This development in the systems secured several advantages as explained by Professor Shaad. An area of 12,000 square miles in

As soon as the Gordon-Koppel
"Larry" Doyle, the star pitcher of the 1910 Jayhawker team, who was declared ineligible for the varsity this year on account of having played professional baseball, received a letter from Geo. C. Lowe, the manager of the Gordon-Koppel's team for the city league of Kansas City, Saturday morning, inclosing a contract for the coming season. Doyle has received letters from different teams, but the one from Manager Lowe is the most satisfactory.
manager receives a reply he will send transportation. Larry will probably leave in a few days for Kansas City, where he will try out for the team. A player in the Kansas City league has a very good chance to get in the big leagues, as the Kansas City American association team draws heavily upon the city league for new material.
