STATE COMMISSION WILL MEET MAY 22
PRESIDENTS OF STATE IN
STITUTIONS, MEMBERS
Committees on Efficiency, Finance and Coordinations of State Schools to Report
A call for another meeting of the state commission on higher education was recently issued by Governor Stubbs for May 22. The coming meeting will be the most important held by the commission for the three sub-committees appointed at the first meeting will be ready to report.
At the first meeting a committee on efficiency, a committee on finance, and a committee on coordination of work were appointed. At the meeting held last week the work of the committees was talked over but no reports were made. The committees had not completed their work.
The finance committee is at work this week arranging for a uniform system of bookkeeping for the different state educational institutions. The committee is being assisted by the State Auditor and the state accountant. The committee will also have the services of an expert from the outside as soon as he can be located. The system of bookkeeping planned will cover every department of each institution so it will be possible to show just where every cent appropriated goes.
The committee on higher education is made up of the regents of the three state educational institutions—the state University, the state Agricultural college, and the state Normal school. In this work the regents have laid aside their allegiance to their respective schools and are working for the best interests of all the schools.
The presidents of the various state institutions are also members of the committee of higher education, and will be present at the meeting. Chancellor Strong will attend the meeting on May 22.

BACK FROM TRIAL
Professors Testify For State in Murder Case.

Buck is accused of poisoning his wife by means of evanide.
They testified in behalf of the state prosecution but their testimony in itself was not sufficient to convict. Professor Bushong reports, as his tests indicated only a mere trace of cyanide.
The ease was argued by the attorneys Wednesday afternoon and sent to the jury in the evening. A verdict of murder in the first degree was promptly returned by the jury.

The graduating expression recital of Miss Constance McCommon in Fraser hall Tuesday evening was exceptionally good and was well attended. Miss McCommon is a reader of well known ability on the hill and although the evening was warm and some of the selections long and difficult, still she held the entire attention of her audience. One of her big numbers was a dramatic sketch "Nance Oldfield" by Chas. Reade. In this piece the reader of the evening displayed great dramatic possibilities in portraying "Nance Oldfield" an actress of 1706.
Miss Marvel DeVoe who assisted in the program of the evening is a young violinist of Kansas City. She showed rare talent in her playing and was well received. Miss Josephine McCammon, the accompanist, played exceedingly well and showed perfect sympathy with the spirit of the readings and the solos which she accompanied. The ushers for the evening were Licile Barrett, Hazel Browning, Grace O'Neil, and Cornelia Hardeastle.
