that the $4,000 appropriated by the
last legislature for repairs and upkeep
of the buildings will not permit you to
make all improvements that are abso-
rob the maintenance fund for the
purpose of making repairs and up
keep of grounds? Will departments
that need extension be crippled be-
cause the appropriation for upkeep of
grounds was reduced from $4,000 to
$4,000? If dissatisfaction with these
conditions will result in the loss of
able teachers, please advise me of the
fact, and furnish me the names of
these teachers.
eff the medical school has been or
dered to stand still, what will the
board of regents do with the $4,000
appropriated for its maintenance dur
ing the next two years, and the $780,
600 new hospital building for which
contracts have been closed within the
past few days?
while the appropriation for build
ings in 1911 was not as large as in
1909, the appropriation for main
tenance was approximately $4,000
gents of the university have had at
their disposal during the two years
which will end June 80, next, $4,000
with which to repair buildings and up
keep grounds. If human life has been
in danger and the foundations of the
buildings have been sinking to the eX-
tent indicated by the Graduate Maya
zine, why was not a part of this $780,
900 used to repair foundations and I'M
prove the system of wiring?
1.-THE startling statements which are
quoted above from the Graduate Maya
zine have been given general and wide
publicity throughout the state Ii
these statements are true 1 shall be
that effect. If they are untrue they
should be repudiated. 1t is well to
keep in mind that the university be
longs to the people of Kansas; that
state officials and university officers
alike the servants of the people and
that the public has right to an ac-
curate official statement of facts from
you concerning this matter. My pur-
pose in sending you this letter IS TO
secure accurate information in regard
work in the university, and to furnish
this information to the people of Kan
sas. who own the university, and have
paid millions and millions of dollars
to educate the boys and girls who now
compose it's alumni.
'sThe information in my possession in
regard to the university, leads me to
believe that the physical condition OF
the property is first-class; that the
university is doing excellent work;
that the appropriations are ample 70
provide for the present needs of the
student body and the normal increase
of students during the next two years.
Before I vetoed the $4,000 appropri-
alton for up-keep of grounds and re-
pairs to buildings, 1 carefully 1nvesti-
gated the needs of the institution in
this respect, and I have no doubt that
every actual necessity of the institu-
ton can be taken care of with the
900 which is at your disposal for
the next two years.
IAN early, straightforward reply to
this letter will be appreciated"

boards Organize in Chicago.

Chicago, April 5.-Chicago is to
have a new "trust'-a combination of
the theater ticket scalpers, who have
stations in all the hotels.
Articles of incorporation were taken
out.
only the proprietors of hotel ticket
stands will be members of the COM
bination, which promises war against
the scalpers who send their agents out
in the streets. The customary COM
mission of so cents a ticket will be
maintained.
This business corporation might be
called a theater ticket scalpers' trust -
said H. NJ. Waterfall, one of the incor-
porators. ''The men who maintain
ticket stands in the hotel concluded to
get together and the incorporation of
a company followed.
But it is not the purpose of the
company to try to raise the price of
theater tickets

Chicago, April president Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor is expected to arrive in Chi
cago on Friday to take a hand in a
series of turisdictional fights which are
threatening to disrupt organized labor
and paralyze the Chicago building in
dustry.
AS a result of internal warfare in
the unions over jurisdiction, more than
100000 worth of building opera
tions are tied up and unless the labor
officials take steps to remedy condi-
lions, contractors predict that the
building industry will remain at a
standstill throughout the spring and
summer.

FOR BRANCH Y. NJ. C. A?

one of the subjects which will be dis
cussed at the mems supper which will
pc given by Rev. w. /. Cole, pastor of
the North Side Baptist church. Monday
evening, April 10, is a gymnasium
position. The form it wall take will
be a discussion of the church athletic
system.
Rev. Mr. Cole for some time has
Favored the idea as practiced by the
cities in the east of establishing a
gymna 'ium and boys club with head
quarters in the church basement. The
various phases of this matter will be
taken up by the pastor and the men.
1t is not the plan to interfere with
the Central Y. NJ. c. A. or Railroad Y.
M. 6. A. on the South side, but to fl
UP a place for the boys of the church
which will be nearer to their homes
than either of these two headquarters.
It Is thought that such a place could be
equipped with little expense either in
the church basement or other suitable
rooms.
This arrangement has been brought
to the minds of several of the church
people since an agitation was suggested
that instead of any one church estaD-
fishing a gymnasium or club of it's own,
that all of the churches go together in
a movement for equipping and main
taining branch of the Central Y. M.
G. A. on he North side.
Such a plan would also give an OPP
portunity for North side boys to have
easy access to gymnasium and reading
room privileges, and in no way be IN
Imposition to the Central association.
Recently David Bowie, president Of
the Y M c. A. said that the tendency
in all cities was toward branch Y. M.
G. AS rather than the charging of a
central headquarters and it was only
aquestion of time when the Topeka
central headquarters would not be
able to care for its patrons.
IT is not improbable that these mat
tiers will be given serious consideration
at 1.-The mems meeting at the Baptist
church next Monday night and some
thing definite be done toward estab-
fishing such an institution.
