"CAP" WATERS' WEEPS "BILLY" IS DIRECTED REQUIRE OVERSHOES BY STUDENTS ALONE
Civil War Orator of Topeka Will Talk on Lincoln in Chapel
Captain J. G. Waters of Topeka, a veteran of the Civil war and prominent Kansas attorney, will speak in chapel tomorrow on "Lincoln." Captain Waters will be remembered at the University by his address on "Education" last year which was one of the most popular chapel talks of the year.
During the sixties, Mr. Waters served with great credit as captain of an Illinois company. His personal knowledge of the events during the last part of Lincoln's life will make his address particularly interesting and appropriate.
Captain Waters came to Kansas just after the close of the war and began practicing law. He has been eminently successful in his business, particularly in criminal cases, although his practice has been as varied as that of any other lawyer in the state. He has written poems, and is well known for his oratorical ability
Waters was commencing his plea when one of his associates was observed putting on rubber overshoes. When asked why he was wearing overshoes in the court room, the lawyer replied, "You'll soon see how necessary the shoes are, when 'Cap' commences to turn on the weeps."
Waters' method of pleading to a jury is well illustrated by a story which was printed in the Saturday Evening Post last week.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERS
LEARN TO BLOW 'EM UP
Doctors Redman and Dains and J. L.
Bennett Talked on "High Ex-
pression"
At the meeting of the Chemical Engineers' Society last evening the subject: "High Explosives." J. L. Bennett, a sophomore who has spent some time in the Independence, Mo. Powder Mill, talked on the early manufacture of gunpowder. The address was illustrated by stereopanic slides. Dr. L. V. Redman discussed the methods of manufacturing Nitro-Glycerin, Dynamite and Rifle powder. He described and gave the composition of numerous powders, Samsonite, Forcite, Tonite, and others, and he told an interesting explosive used by the Russian Government in Siberia. "This explosion," said Dr. Redmond, "is the invention of Dr. H. Sprengel. Cartridges are made of pure Chlorate of Potash and may be transported clear across Siberia without danger. To make them explosive, they are dipped in a solution of Mono-Nitro Benzene and Chlorate of Potash. When used with a strong detonator, they explode with great violence." Dr. F. B. Dains also lectured on the same subject.
PERMANENT COMMONS WILL MOSSE HELP HAS REGENTS'SUPPORT COACH JAYHAWKERS?
Chicago has a chess club that plays inter-collegiate games.
Chancellor and Alumni Association to Report Plans for Dining Facilities.
FOWLER SHOPS MAY BE USED SIXTEEN YEARS ON GRIDIRON.
Temporary Arrangement Under Home Economics Department Will Give Idea of Patronage Expected
The temporary arrangement, by which the domestic science department is to furnish lunches will give some idea of the amount of patronage to be expected. The alumni will then be able to perfect the plans. The maternal committee shall meet at the annual meeting of the Alumni Association at Commencement.
If the alumni undertake the venture they will conduct the commons on a cost basis and solely for the convenience of the University.
The Alumni Association has had several plans under consideration. One involved putting up, on the most convenient site on the campus, a building that would be adequate for the needs of the eating establishment until the Fowler Shops should be vacated by the engineers. Then the shops would be moved to the home for the home of the University common, and was to start a lunch counter in a small way in order to find out how great the demand would be.
That the Board of Regents is very much in earnest as to providing a suitable eating place on the campus for the convenience of students and faculty is evident from action taken yesterday in the form of a resolution, "that the Board favor the plan of the Alumni Association for the establishment of a University Commons and directs the Board to establish an institution and report to the Board a feasible plan to be agreed to by him and the officers of the association."
Chancellor Strong, at Word of Regents, Will Open Negotiations

Arthur St. Leger Mosse Product of Eastern and Western Methods —Will Assist Sherwin.
On the recommendation of Chancellor Strong the Board of Regents authorized the Chancellor to enter into negotiations with Arthur St. Leger Mosse looking to his appointment as assistant football coach.
Hold Kansas Punting Record
The Chancellor gave the student body an intimation that he would do this when speaking at the football smoker last December. The student cheered this sentiment for fully five minutes.
Mosse played a guard position on the K. U. team from 1895 to 1898. In his last year of service he was captain of the squad. His strength
ARTHUR ST. LEGER MOSSE
as a player lay in his offensive work, and in his booting ability. No Kansas punter has been able to equal his record in the kicking department. The year after his graduation Mosse coached the Warrensburg Normal team. He resigned this position after one year and wen' west.
Once Played as Professional.
Mosse's reputation as a player and a coach had spread to the east by this time and the following year he played on the famous Homestead team, a professional organization, in Pittsburgh, Penn. His services or this team attracted the attention of the athletic authorities of the Western University of Pennsylvania and he was chosen football coach of that college. This position he held for three years and was assigned and returned to its home in Kansas. In 1906 Dr. A. R. Kennedy persuaded Mosse to be his assistant in tutoring the Kansas players. The following year business kept Mosse at home but in 1908, '09, and '10 he was Kennedy's advisor and assistant. Last year, he was not on the regular coaching staff but volunteered his services to his Alma Mater on several occasions. He spent the entire week preceding the Missouri game with the Kansas team at Moberly.
