Lawrence, Jan. 13.-It developed
that thare is strong possibility
that the recent row over the tango
and other late dances may be re-
opened at the University Of Kansas.
In Saturdays mail a large number
of the students of the university
received invitations to series Of
three tango receptions to be held at
one OF the leading dance halls, where
most of the college parties are held.
Then Prof. e. w. Murray, chair
man OF the students interests COM
mittee of the university, issued
statement to the effect that any
student who would attend the SER
les of dances would do SO in direct
violation of the ruling of the uni

fore be subject to discipline. A num-
Der of the students have signified

"The Progressives of Oklahoma

Homer McCord to prison for taking
Mary Armstrong Dean, bride of a

vey Dean, while the bridal couple
we're in lola last summer on their

upon whose reluctance to testify the
prisoner evidently depended much,
and confronted by half dozen rep
utable business men of Neodesha,
whose testimony he knew would have
convincing weight with the jury,
McCord's hope for acquittal fled and
he came into court and entered
plea of guilty, throwing himself
upon the mercy of the court.
The penalty for violation of the
Kansas white slave law to which
pleaded guilty is from one
to five years in prison.

Washington. Jan. 13.-All Of the

patrol forces at Preside, Tex, will
be transferred to Fort Bliss and
held there indefinitely. Secretary
Garrison ordered the transfer with
permission for the refugee women

There are about 1000 Of the Mex
lean officers and men who fled
across the Rio Grande, when the
victorious constitutionalists entered
Ojinaga, and with them, including
many women and children, are some
1900 civilian refugees. The latter
are not prisoners and will be al

military authorities, though those
desiring to remain in American ter

there put them aboard trains for

ind or more horses brought over by

There are several hundred volcanoes

would shock the world by the loss
of life which would be inevitable.

DEAN BLACKMAR TELLS
OF STATE PRISON NEEDS
kansas Would Save Money by Re-
building Plant

Kansas Would Save Money by Re
building Plant
/ Topeka, Jan. 24.-At request of
Governor Hodges a report on the
condition of the state penitentiary
las been made by Dean F. w. Black
mar of the state university. A sum-
mary is:
I. The physical plant of the
Lansing penitentiary is in bad con-
dition, preventing economy and eff
ficiency and promoting waste.
2. Sooner or later, the prison
must be rebuilt. Plans for the flu
ture should be commenced now.
3. No expenditures except emer-
gency expenditures should be made
until definite plan be formed for
rebuilding or building SO that each
substantial improvement should be
part of genuine plan. The rebuild
ing of the Irvine plant was an emer-
gency expenditure and undoubtedly
receives the approval of the people
of Kansas.
4. Such general plan should con-
slider the probable decline in the
number of the prison population.
Hutchinson reformatory has now
400 cells and $50 prisoners.
5. That a board OF discriminat-
ing men we'll versed in the science
of prison management and who have
had practical experience in prison
affairs be appointed to plan for the
future and to present its proposal
to the next session of the legisla-
ture; an extra session would be
folly.
1T appears there is nothing mod
ern in the penitentiary except the
new Irvine plant which has been re- ),
Gently erected" says the summary
Of the physical plant. 1t is then
urged that the governor at once APP I
point a board Of experts to design
plans for new prison buildings to
be erected as needed.
The brick plant and farm are all
light Blackmar found, although
here is great opportunity for fur
Ter agricultural development of the
joil. Many improvements have been {
made on the farm in the last few
months and the efforts to increase |
took raising and breeding are COM I
nended.
Reconstruction of the peniteBt:ary
would mean the following saving to
he state. according to the report: !
BY putting in modern equipment,
aving the labor of 100 men at an I
nnual value of s57, 900; by new orr
cell houses. saving in
