Sailors Had No Faith in the John

Philadelphia, April 22.-To take
away the hoodoo from the battleship
Kansas, the largest ship in the Amer

put in commission at League Island
navy yard, Captain Vreeland invested
in a bottle of champagne, and, with
due ceremony. smashed it on the

Imm ediately there was a noticeable
change in the attitude Of the jackies
toward the big fighting machine. So
long as 1t had been baptized with wa

do with It. They maintained that

BROKE RECORDS AT X. U.
Some Good Marks Made in the Ath-
letio Meet at Lawrence.


Lawrence, Kan, April 22.-Five
records were broken in the home meet
between the schools of the University
of Kansas Saturday on McCook field.
Cooley began the iconoclastic work in
the mile, setting the pace in the high
wind, bringing the record formerly
held by Bill Bailey from ADJ to 4:42.
Commons wiped all trace of Bailey
from the Kansas records by running
the two mile in 10:34 and setting the
pace all the way. But the feature of
the meet was the half mile. Priest
who broke the Convention hall record,
was pitted against Miller, who broke
the record last year. Priest led Ne
way and succeeded in holding Miller
neck and neck for the last 220 yards of
the race, both men breasting the tape
together in 2:06, establishing a new
record. In the broad jump, Butler
jumped once, making 81 " feet, which
beat the former K. U. mark three
inches.
Drake, the giant freshman, was in
poor form and made only 10 feet A
inches in the discus 1t broke the rec
ord five feet but did not satisfy the
newcomer. The saddest feature of the
meet was the Gripping of Lapham, the
crack K. U. hurdler. In going for
record in the high ones he caught
spike on the top of a hurdle ana fell,
spraining his ankle so badly that it is
doubtful if he can get in shape to meet
the Tigers May IL on McCook field.

Engineering school So, and the Law

GOOD SHOW AT THE NOVELTY.
Each of Three Acts an Entertainment
by Itself.

1t is difficult to say which act on the
bill at the Novelty theater for this week
is the most entertaining. It is not diff
ficult to judge of the show taken as a
whole for ii is without doubt the best
vaudeville show that has been seen at
the Novelty theater, or any other house
which has the same admission charges,
There are three acts, each of the high
est class, on the bill and each of them
was received more than cordially by the
large audiences which attended the per-
formances yesterday afternoon and
last night.
The opening act is cleverly written
little comedy, THE Thoroughbred"
which is presented by the Harold KEEL
ly's company and in the presentation OF
which Mrs. Kelly does some acting
that is really worthy of the highest
commentator. Not the least interest
live bulldog of ponderous proportions.
Nello, the 5uggler, assisted by his
wife, does some excellent feats of Jug
Cling, many of which are performed
while balancing himself on a slack
wire. Nello tuggles everything imagi-
nable with the possible exception of
freight cars and the chances are he
could handle them just as dextrously
as he does other things If he could find
a stage large enough to work out with
them.
The Byrne-Kenyon Comedy -Four in
a rural sketch, called Uncle Seth's
Visit" is the third good act on the
bill. There is not much to the sketch
itself but it gives the members of the
company chance for some singing and
comedy work. and the efforts of one Of
the girls in taking off a female rube
are excruciating1y funny. For an IL
lustrated song, Mr.. F. N. Irwin sings
I'm the wildwood Where the BiuebeiIs
Crow" And the villain still pii~s1Ied

which depicts some laughable inci-
dents.

Rogers wired his reply last night,
and said he was undecided as to wheth-

Officers of the colored companies dis

HOW TO SAVE YOUR DOG.

Collar.

Valuable dogs whose tax has been
paid are in danger of being taken to
the dog pound and killed because the
owners fail to put the dog tax tag on
the dogs collar
w. NJ. Core, dog officer, stated today
that he had considerable trouble FROM
people who owned dogs and failed to
put the dog tax on the collars. The in
structions to the dog officer are to pick
up all dogs that have no tag on the
collar and mistakes can only be avoid
ed by placing the tag where it belongs.
One man last night discovered that
the dog tag on his dog was considered
more val liable than the dog. Some one
