safe with the aid of his 16-year-old
brother, Melvin.
The money, which had been hidden
by the boys in a brick yard at Kern
Junction, was recovered with the ex-
ception of $500 which was found in
Melvin's room. Both brothers are in

his hands over his head and sobbed
out:
'fOh, I did it myself
Then he told where the money was
buried, how he had conceived the plan
of the robbery and how he had car
ried it out. In his confession Marvin
shouldered the entire responsibility
for the theft, declaring that although
Melvin had taken the bags of gold
when he had thrown them from the
train and buried them, the young lad
had done everything under instruc-
tiOns.
Il knew my car was to carry
heavy shipment of gold to the First
National bank of Taft about the tenth
of the month";" said Handy. so I
posted Melvin at Kern junction with
instructions to have a lantern and
shovel. AS we passed Kern Junction,

before the train pulled into Taft

men and a constable came into my car
at Taft"
The two boys agreed that they
would let the money lie buried until
excitement had abated and the man

been an express messenger on the

K. U. NOT MODEST
University Wants Only Two
Millions for Next Year.
OF This Amount $411,OOO Is
Asked for New Buildings.

In their budget sent to State Auditor
w. E. Davis, regents of Kansas Uni
Versity ask nearly two million dollars in
appropriations from the 1913 legislature.
Their exact figures total 81 ,917, 023.17, OF
which amount SAL, 900 is for new build
1ngS- In view of the 1912 Democratic
platform pledging- reduction of state
taxes, it may be interesting to watch
the progress of this budget through the
coming legislature.
K. U. was the first school to make
public her budget She points to the
celVe smaller appropriations than those
given the Kansas college; and that re-
CARELESS of this condition, K. U. ranks
second among the schools of her class
The regents ask $549, 81 a year for
general maintenance. For broadening
the present work, $43, 225 asked for the
first year and SAP 1875 for the second
year. For this work S55, 600 was this
year taken from the teachers fund. The
extension department asks $24, $50 the
first year and s29, $50 the second year
For the school of medicine and the
state hospital at Rosedale, SAG, 65SS8 is
asked for the first year and $41, 56S.SS is
asked for the second year. To erect a
laboratory and complete the main sec
ton of the hospital building, $50, 900 is
asked.
1t is claimed that in 1911 the appro-
pIldIlOn Tor upKeep or Oull01ngS was
insufficient and an increase is asked
So $119, 1896 is needed. And the regents
mention that the legislature will confer
favor by making this money available
at once.
The central section of the college
building is to be completed. The
foundation is already laid. But for this
work, 1856. 600 is needed the first year
and $4,000 the second year. A bio
logical laboratory and the first section
of a school of education building, are
included in the new structures asked
for in the budget.
This budget will be submitted to the
educational committee of the 1913 legis-
lature. Already a dozen retrenchment
plans have been suggested by members
of the legislature in their desire to re-
duce state taxes. Whether the 1884
taxes can be reduced without applying
the knife to the appropriations for edu-
cational Institutions is a matter that
has been seriously considered. And so
you can probably draw good line on
the action of the next legislature by
watching the progress of K. us two
million dollar budget.
