$4,000 went out for coach hire; several
hundred for training table and with all
the expenses paid the amount was cut
down to $4,000. But this is the best
showing ever made in the history of
athletics at the University of Kansas
and undoubtedly will rank we'll with
many of the eastern universities.

remainder of the year can be run on a
paying basis Kansas Will be able to
start the football season next year with
the $500 in the treasury. Last year
track athletics paid expenses but basket
bali put the association back. Baseball
never makes any money for the asso-
citation though it usually manages to
pay out about even.

NEWS FORECAST OF
THE INCOMING WEEK.
>***=**%*=**" 3 :.
(Herald Specially

Washington, D. c., June 19.-The
week holds forth small promise in the
way of big news events, and unless
something unexpected should occur
either at home or abroad, college
commandments, June weddings and
assemblies of various sorts will en-
joy monopoly of the news columns.
Washington seems to have succumed
prematurely to the dullness of sum-
mer, and no news of Importance is
promised from the capital excepting
that ground out by the congressional
mill, which is still engaged in ham,
mering the tariff measure into shape
A fight that probably will attract
wide attention is promised in the
state of Washington, where the leg
islature has been called to assemble
next Wednesday in extraordinary
session. The recent arrest of the ad-
jutant general of the state militia on
charge of embezllement and reports
that public funds have been misappro-
priated in other departments of the
state government have aroused the
people to a keen pitch and a legisla-
tive investigation is demanded Two
factions of the republican party are
engaged in the controversy and bit
ter fight is in prospect. The opposi-
ton has even gone so far as to pre-
pare a resolution asking for the i'm
parchment of Governor Hay for mis-
conduct in office, and it is expected
the resolution will be introduced as
soon as the Legislature meets
a skirmish over the prohibition law
