Last Friday evening a we'll attended
meeting of cur citiz ms was he'd in
the Court room to listen to adiresse
by President Hill of the State Normal,
Prof Webster and TenEgck of the Ag

in the dl Jcussions and it. was very in
terestinR. Prof Webster also held
another meeting Saturday evening at
which general discussion took place.
A letter from Topeka from a sup-
porter of the administration Says:
'Iu is noticed down here that there ID
much discussion in your city on the
subject of the appropri atoms for the
State Institutions near Vour city
All Gov. Stubbs and the Admin
istration ask is to be treated fair
and that Western Kansas look at

Remember that every dollar more
appropriated means more taxes In

people voted emphatically against the
Legislators increased pay-aGainst the
higher taxes. All through the canvas
the Governor and his administration
were charged with extravigance.
Now note the present published al
lowance of over seven million dollars,
many thousands more than before eau
ed by increased cost of maintenance.
Last year the Hays State Normal
got, outside of buildings $6s, 900 and
this year $74 600. 1t provides liberally
for your excellent corps of teachers
but the small increase of attendance
the past year does not call for more
maintenance. Let the school increase
and the State will pay the bill.
The Hays Experiment station the last
time got $34 900. this time $37 500, anC
both get all the income from their lanC
as before.
Again, remember, it is no fight or

ria Normal was reduced $356 900; Man

ward persuading them from talking
about the accident. These same per-
sons also threw obstacles in the way
of the patrolmen who were attempting
to get data to make a report of the
accident.
AS soon as the occupants Of the
wrecked car were out of the coach the
police station was notified and two
ambulances were hurried to the scene.
The Jordans were taken to the receiv-
ing hospital, where the police sur
geons dressed their injuries; Olres,
Cramer and Smith were sent to the
Crocker Street hospital for treatment,
and the others went to their homes.
Later most of the injured resumed their
journey to Pasadena.
The blame for the accident, it seems,
lays between the fagmen and the en-
CINE crew. Flagman Marsh insists that
the engineer did not sound his whistle
or ring the bell, while Engineer Crosby
declares that he sounded the usual
warnings for crossings.
IS a result of the wreck the Pasa-
dena line was tied up for some time,
and after a dozen or more cars were
lined up near the bridge the passengers
were given transfers to cars on both
sides of the blockade. Within three
hours after the collision the tracks
were cleared and the cars were
operated on a regular schedule.
