KANSAS PHPSICIA LEGISLATURE MAY CHANGE GRAM LAW WILL HOW WORK OtlBUIIIG SENATE APPROVES APPif AIK Report of the Ways and Means Com mittee Accepted by the Senate Expect Largest Attendance of Any Meeting This Year While the- customary inclement weather which usually characterizes a meeting of the Douglas County Institute has already commenced Superintendent Hawley has not given up hoping that the meeting which will be held tomorrow at 10 o'clock will be the best one of the year. An orchestra from the college will furnish instrumental music and the college Y. M. C. A.

While the teachers may decide to hold another meetintr it is probable that on account of the rush of spring work that this will be the concluding i meeting of the year. I COIICT THE WEST WITH IHTERURBAN Salina, Junction City, Manhattan, and Topeka, To Be On the Line COMPANIES WORKING HARD 1 Electric Line Companies Pushing To i Make Vhe Line Go Through Traffic Will Go Over the Line Through Lawrence For Kansas City Begin Work Here Soon "From Kansas City to Salina by way of the Interurban," is the cry now, and it is probable that it will be put through as the officials of the lines are working on the proposition at the present time and plans are being formulated to extend the line from Kansas City to Topeka on to Manhattan and connect with the line to Junction City and then extend to Salina. Everything is in readiness to start the work of building the roadbed of the line from Bonner Springs to Lawrence and this part of the road will be finished by the first of next year. It is the intention of the officials to extend the line to Topeka almost immediately.

The Topeka street car company of Topeka are interested in the proposition and are pushing to get the officials of the other electric lines interested. It is probable that the power from the line will be furnished by the Junction City and the Rocky Ford power plants. They are very anxious to have the lines put through. The probable routing as suggested will be through Maple Hill, Wamego. Manhattan, Junction City, Abilene and Salina.

All of these towns arc pulling to get the line through their towns and with the electric line officials interested it is probable they will work to make the line a reality as soon as possible. This line will mean the eventual connection with the Arkansas Val-lev Interurban at Hutchinson and will connect the entire state with the interurban lines. All of the traffic will come through Lawrence on the fl'ay to Kansas City as the Kansas City line will be the most used. NO TRASH IN THE PARKS! City Officials Are in Arms Over the Violation of the Trash Ordinance Complaint was again made to the city officials this morning that people are dumping trash in the city parks. Complaint has been made several times of people dumping trash in the parks and the city officials have issued warnings several times and they are going to arrest the first person on whom they have evidence.

The officers have instructions to keep their eyes open for the violators of this ordinance and they will work hardship on the first violator. People lving along tne are especially anxious to have this ordinance enforced and they will assist the officers in catching the violators. ARREST "CHING" WRIGHT Charged With Sellin? Wh skey in Baldwin Last June After being wanted by the county officials for nearly a year, in connection with a cutting scrape and alleged sale of whiskey, which occurred at Baldwin last June, Roy Wright was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Sclmeck at the Lome of "Ching's" uncle in -Baldwin. The officers have been on the lookout for Wright for some time but not until he returned to Baldwin about Christmas time did they know his probable whereabouts. lie will be held on the charge selling whiskey.

Marriage License A marriage license was issued yesterday bv Probate Judge Lindlev to Millard Wiley and Anna Galley, both of Lawrence. i Pedler Says he Cannot Make the License Fee in a Day's Work Abie Einstein called at the office of the city clerk this morning and asked what the license for peddling dry goods was. On the reply of the city clerk that it was $10 a day lie heaved a sigh and said that that was more than a man could make in a day. lie then asked the price of the license for a year and was told that it was all the same, $10 a day. He turned away to leave, but a happy thought struck him and he returned and asked about taking orders and delivering the next day.

"I know nothing of that," said City Clerk Brooks, "you will have to go to the city attorney in regard t) that matter." With the happy thought that he would get by on the order taking proposition, he called on 'Attorney Harley. Abie got little satisfaction here, for the ordinances of Lawrence do not especially favor the pedler. NO CATALOGUE FORJHEXT YEAR University Will Issue Separate Booklets For Each School MEANS CONSIDERABLE SAVING A Smaller Number Need To Be Published Than Was Necessary Under Old Plan Dean Olin Templin Hopes To Make New Booklets Easier To Understand There will be no general catalogue issued this spring by the University for next year as has been the custom heretofore. At a general meeting of the deans of the various schools held yesterday afternoon, it was decided to abandon the old plan of issuing a catalogue each year 4ind publish a small pamphlet containing the announcements of the school in which the prospective student is interested, instead. This plan is in vogue in many other stale institutions and has proved highly satisfactory.

The plan is to publish one small booklet covering the general announcements of the University as a whole, similar to the first section of the present catalogue, but instead of issuing the announcements of all the various school in one catalogue, they will be published in separate booklets, one for each school in the University. This means there will be nine distinct pamphlets, one for each of the eight schools, and the one containing the general University announcements. This will mean a large saving in publication because the number of individual pamphlets printed will be comparatively small in proportion to the number of general catalogues published in previous years. Last year, there were 12,000 catalogues issued by the University. "We hope to simplify the catalogue as much as possible," said Dean Olin Templin of the college this morning, the average high school student intending to enter the University generally has considerable trouble in understanding the present book Avbich is very complicated and full of unnecessary details.

By dividing the book up into separate pamphlets, we hope to be able to explain the courses in which the student is interested more satisfac- ily." Funeral of Mrs. Sarah Hamer The funeral of the late Mrs. Sarah Hamer, who died Wednesday at the home four miles north of Lawrence, occurred today at two o'clock from the Lawrence Methodist Church. Rev. Volfe conducted the services.

Interment was made in Oak Hill Cem-fetery. Choose Debaters At the debate tryout last niht in the high school auditorium Walter Keeler, George Minor, and Edward Mason were chosen to uphold the affirmative of the question of government ownership of railwoys. while Robert Albach, Ewart Plank, and Jack Tucker were picked to defend be negative. The affirmative will debate here with Ottawa and the negative will go to Topeka to meet their opponents. RECORDS EARTH DISTURBANCE Earth Disturbance Recorded by the University Seismograph The seismograph at the University recorded a disturbance yesterday afternoon.

The preliminary disturbance began at o'clock and the main disturbance began at and lasted for several minutes. The distance was estimated at 2.400 or 2,500 millimeters. It was recorded mainly on the east and west components. The probable location was in California. The phases were fairly distinct, al- i though it is not thought the shock was severe.

City Attorney Harley said the sale would be termed a transient and the license for such sale is $250. The price sounded too high for the man and he decided that Lawrence was not the town he wanted to work in at any rate.

Hats, caps, shoes, shirt and all manner of wearing apparel constituted the wares which he had to offer. Sunk Torpedo Destroyer Paris, Feb. 20.

MlflUND STORE BOBBED Burglars Make Away With Thirteen Pairs of Shoes ua Entrance Through Window No Clew to Burglars' Identity By breaking a window the store of Henry Corder, at Midland, was entered and thirteens pairs of shoes stolen. The robbery occurred sometime durftig-ther night and was discovered this mormug when Mr. Corder opened the building. While nothing but the shoes were found to be missing this morning when the robbery was reported to Sheriff Cxunmings, the extent of loss will not be known until the goods are checked over. Mr.

Corder-has offered a reward of dollars for the arrest and con- viction of the parties concerned in the burglary. Officers have been notified to be on the lookiut for persons attempting to dispose of the goods and the Kansas City officials have been asked to be on the lookiut for the men.

G. W. JONES, PRESIDENT Many New Phases of the Medical World Were Discussed in Papers Medical Questions of Interest to the Physicians for the Program for the Meeting Subjects of especial scientific interest were considered in the meeting of the Northeast District. Medical society of Kansas which met in Lawrence yesterday. There were about 50 of the physicians from the district present who took part in the discussions of the papers which were read before the meeting.

The business meeting was held in Snow hall at the University in the afternoon and the elections of officers for the coming year was taken up. Dr. G. W. Jones was elected president of the society; Dr.

J. J. Brady, of Frankfort, vice president, and Dr. Everhardy, of Leavenworth, was reelected secretary. It was decided that the next meeting would be held in Topeka.

Alter the business meeting the reading of the scientific papers and the discussion of scientific subjects, which were scheduled on the program, were taken up. The members of the Douglas county society banqueted the visiting physicians at the Eldrige hotel. Following the banquet the remainder of the program was taken up in the parlors of the hotel. One paper on the care of the typhoid case, was read. In the paper it was pointed out Ilia; tiie cases should be watched very closely as sudden severe pain might come to the patient.

Such pains are indicative of the most serious of trouble in the 'ease. It was shown that in such cases surgical operation was necessary to save the life of the patient. A paper setting out the latest developments in the treatment of the cancer was read. It stated that early recognition of the ease and an early operation are necessary in order to stop the cancer. A new method of treatment has been instituted in some of the eastern schools and it is reported that it is meeting with considerable success.

This treatment is by means of applying a low heat for about an hour. The heat, it is said, will kill the cancer cell. This treatment is being used in the Jones hos- vlt.ll nf ,1 Other papers showed the effect of the internal secretions on the mind and body and their general welfare to the body and also the benefits to be derived from the use of vaccine as many of the diseases of the body have been brought unaer control by its use. The meeting was very interesting and the physicians showed the greatest interest in the papers that were read and also taking part in the discussions. Many helpful ideas were brought out for the information of the physicians.

2G. One of the stiffest fights of the session always barring the appropriations, whirl) threaten at this time to mark an epoch in legislative historj' is expected tomorrow when the proposed changes in the state grain inspection law comes up before the house. The bill introduced provides for optional inspection of grain, reduces the fees for inspection, and gives the state grain inspector more latitude in handling the inspection. It also abolishes the state grain grading commission, since the state now is using the federal grading rules, and must continue to do so. But the big fight in the bill is over the provision that no inspection shall be allowed in the state except by the state grain inspector and his deputies.

This paragraph is aimed at the Kansas City, board of trade, which for years has been inspecting grain on the Kansas side of the line. George B. Ross, the present state grain inspector, and understood to be slated for reappointment to the position, is backing the proposed law. The grain dealers' association, it is asserted, will light the measure to the last ditch. And flip hoard of trade is expected to have some men at work to defeat the new law.

There is another measure due for hard sledding, probably with far less hope of passage than the grain bill, which is favored at the present time by a majority of the house. The other measure that will be bard fought, and which some assert is dead already, is the senate bill amending the Public Utilities act. In its present shape the bill would do away with the home rule provision of the 1011 act; put the stock yards under the jurisdiction of the commission; put 05 per cent of the mutual telephone companies under its jurisdiction, and give the commission power to deny municipal ownership of utilities. The Kansas League of Municipalities, which was swatted unmercifully on its proposition to extend the power of the Kansas towns to manage their own affairs, its now devoting its entire attention to the proposed" revision of the Utilities Act. Petitions remonstrating against any rbnnoe in the present laws are corn- in by the dozen.

Every city in the state, it is said, will have filed a protest before the bill comes before the legislature for action. The Mutual Telephone men, and probably the State Orange, also are the bill. The Mutuals assent that if the bill was not drawn for the benefit of the Bell, it will work out that ay. COURT BUSINESS SLOW Law Violations Are Few and Far Between, Say the urty umcers Durino- the past week the police eourt has had little to do. There has not been a case in court for about week and no arrests have been made.

The officers say that the people are pvceptionally peaceable and not inclined to breaking the laws. They account for the situation by the fact that the weather has been s. bad for several days that the people do not have an opportunity to gel out and move around as they do when the weather is good. Wording to their belief things Ailf loosen up a little as soon as the weather gets a little warmer.

20. (By special corresjwndent of The Journal-' World The Senate passed today the appropriation bills for the state schools and some minor appropriation bills Iflor the different departments anil boards. The appropriation bill for the schools is the same as the one lost a week ago because of the absence of several members. It appropriates $1,350,360.00 for the state educational institutions, including $900,000 for new buildings at the different schools. The university is given $350,000 for the central portion of the administration building, and $90,000 for an addition to the hospital at Rosedale and a new dispensary building- at the medical school.

In less than thirty minutes today the Kansas House of Representatives passed a bill appropriating $300,000 tor nghting the loot and mouth disease among the cattle of the state, but the same house fights for hours directed to push important legisla-and then wii lallow but a few dollars for the sick babies of the state. The bill passed today appropriates $50,000.00 available at once for fighting the foot and mouth disease and paying the losses of the Kansas farmers whose cattle are killed and whose feed is destroyed to keep the disease from spreading. The bill also authorizes the state to issuo a quarter of a million dollars in twenty year bonds so that the money may be used after the legislature adjourns. The bill passed today with the one passed ivo weeks ago makes $310,000 available to the state for fighting the cattle plague. But the same houso and the same committees in the house still refuses to grant any extra funds the Rosedale Ilospitnl where the state takes Care of sick and crippled children and has refused to grant any appropriation for the child's Hygiene bill to enable the state to help mothers save their children.

The House and. Senate decided today that it was time to revise the calendars in both branches and get ready for closing the session. Each branch named a committee to revise the calendar and the committees were tion up to the head of the list. The session is supposed to end next Tuesday, as that will be the last day allowed the members. The House today passed a Senate bill providing at least a beginning for rural credit in Kansas.

The bill is intended to help the man who is industrious and has saved a little money to own his own farm. The bill will become a law upon the signature of the Governor. The bill enables building and kan associations of the state to sell rural credit shares upon the same terms and conditions as the ordinary home building shares are now sold in the cities of the state. A man who is trying to make a home for himself on a farm can now obtain a loan from the building and loan association and repay the money in monthly, quarterly or annual installments. The only difference in rural credit shares and ordinary home building shares is that for the farm loans the payment periods must be made suitable to crop conditions and seasons instead of the regular monthly payments for the salaried man.

The House of Representatives is in a tangle today over the non-partisan judiciary election bill. The bill abolishes the present non-partisan election of the justices of the supreme court and the judges of the district court. It puts the candidates back on the tickets of each political party. The bill provides, however, that the candidates for the different judicial jobs shall run against the men who now hold those positions so that the voters can tell who is running aerainst any of the present judges. There were not enough votes in tho house to pass the bill and a call was made for the absent members.

T'ip house passed the non-partisan i judiciaray bill this afternoon. Judge Smart Declares Recess I Recess was declared in District T'ourt today and will meet again at L'he call of Judare Smart. During the 'ast two days sessions the time has -t-en given to the hearing of minor vases and to the hearing of motions, and appeal cases. Snodsrass, age 0. son of William Snodsrass.

ATTEMPT TO CUT IT DOWN Some of the Senators Try to Get Ad ministraticn Item Cut Off Argue That it Would Add But Five Class Rooms For the Use of the State University Not a nickel was whittled off the senate ways and means committee's record-breaking appropriation bills by the senate yesterday, when all appro priation bills in the possession of the senate were a special order. Even a duplicate of the $4,350,350 education al institutions appropriation bill 'which was defeated in the senate a week ago, was recommended out ol the committee of the whole senate yesterday without having a cent cut from the total of $961,000 for new buildings, in addition to $188,000 fot repairs and improvements and a per cent increase for salaries nnc maintenance of the state's educational institutions. .1 hree appropriation bills already T'1 'y llu' hoxT wm If'1 h-v 1 10 lnng Hv.

1 wo ol these were appropriations foi the partial support of the two negro schools in the state, Topeka Indus ria nsiiMUe am the Western urn- versity, the latter at Quindaro. The other cut in a bouse bill was a reduction of $2,000 in the appropriation for maintenance and repairs for the state tubercular sanitarium at Norton. Senator Jouelt Shonse, chairman of the ways and means committee, denied that his committee had considered the color question in fixing its figures for the two negro schools. Almost a straight party division of the senate occurred in the vote upon Senator Price's motion to increase the senate committee's appropriations for maintenance in the Quindaro appropriation bill by $2,500 a year. Price's amendment carried by a vote of 20 to 15, six Democratic senators joing-ing with the Republicans in voting for the increase, which left the total amount of the senate bill $2,000 below the house's figures; The big senate educational appropriations bill, a duplicate Of ho one which was killed during the absence of some of its friends last week, was approved without the loss of a cent from the total of or about million dollars more than the house has decided is necessary for the main tenance and improvement of the; state's educational institutions for the next two years.

Senator W. P. Lamhertson led a forlorn hope in an effort to reduce the figures of the bis: educational appro- i priation bill. He tried to have the $250,000 alministration building item cut out of the hill, asserting that it would add only five class rooms to the university's accommodations, according to the plans in the state architect's office. Senator Jonott Shouse said the members of the board of ad- i ministration had assured him the new building would provide thirty-five ad-! ditional class rooms.

Lamberson's motion lost, and he tried in turn to have either the $100,000 physics building at the State Agricultural college or the $125,000 domestic arts building at the Pittsburg Normal eliminated, but without success. Senator Harry McMillan endeavored to cut out of the $75,000 provided for a lew hospital at Rosedale, asserting that the location of the medical school at Iiosedale was a mistake, while he even was inclined to doubt the advisability of the state endeavoring to conduct a medical school. The institution cost the state thousands of dollars for every physician it graduated, he asserted. His economy effort likewise failed. On the question of recommending the $4,350,350 educational bill for passage Senator Lamberston forced he senate to a roll call, with the fol- lowing result Votes against recommending the bill Bowman, King, Kinkel, Lam-herston, Logan, McMillan, Meek, Nighswonger, Paulen.
