Appropriation and expenditures
made by the Stubbs administra-
ton during the four years, the
more one is convinced that the
Hodges administration is giving
the people strictly business ad-
ministratioD of 90 per cent busi-
ness and 2 per cent politics.
When you take the reappro-
priations of the 1909 legislature,
together with the funds used by
Stubbs that belonged to the
Hodges administration, the Me-
mortal Hall Fund and the de-
fcits made up by the 1913 leg
islature, you will find that the
Hodges administration has real
ly spent a million dollars less
than was spent by the Stubbs
administration.
The reappropriations in 1909
totaled several hundred thous-
ands of dollars. Stubbs used
1886, 600 of the 1913 taxes that
should have been left to the Gov
ernor Hodges. In addition to
this, $1l5,00O was appropriated
by the 1913 legislature to make
up deficiencies left by the Stubbs
administration for money spent
in excess Of what was approprl-
ated. This inclined deficiency
appropriation of $9,464.00 for
Tom McNeal, who was then the
State Printer.
In addition to this, Stubbs used
1886, 900 of the Memorial Hall
fund, which amount was given
Kansas by the Federal govern
ment, and $780, 600 raised by di-
Freet taxation for this Hall. The
total Of these for the deficiency
appropriations, the 1913 taxes
used by Stubs and the Memoir
ial Hall fund is $687, 900.
If you take the reappropria-
Ftions of 1909, and the $250, 900
appropriated for Memorial Hall
by the 1917 legislature, which
appears to have, been raised di-
rectly by taxation, you will find
that the expenses of the Stubbs
ad ministration will be over half
a million dollars more than the
Hodges administration. Had
the Republicans left this $780,
600, the Sis, 600 for the defcien-
cy appropriations and the $l7s,.
600, which the Democrats bad to
appropriate to complete Mem
oral Hall, this would baYe re-
duced the Democratic appro-
priations $626, 10000.
The people of Kansas are con-
vinced that Hodges has exerted
his best offered to give them
good business administration
and at the same time spend their
money in a way that will accom-
plish results.
In all the explanations made
by the so-called Republican State
Central Com mittee, they have
never in their explanation, touch
ed upon the fact of the defcien-
cies they left, the depleted treas
ury, and the use of the Memorial
Hall funds. The people would
be pleased to know what the Re-
publicans did with the money.
One of the real amusing fea-
lures of the campaign is the at
tempt of few of the Republican
State officials to sign statements
claiming that they have the of
fetal vouchers and records of all
the expenses of the state insti-
tutlons and state departments.
This would be interestingly
true. But the fact remains that
every department OF the state
has copy of every voucher that
passes through their department
and the members of these boards
and the heads of these depart
ments have just as accurate rec

4PRU" ATHLETES
TO TEST ABILITY
Local Runners viii Compete in
Second Battalion
Games.

As a means OF testing their ability,
six athletes of the Prudential Insur-
ance Athletic Association will COM
pete in the Second Battalion athletic
games in Brooklyn Saturday night.
The Prudential athletes have been
practicing at the First Regiment Ar
rnory during the last two weeks under
the direction of Harry Coates. Coates
Will be able to get a real line on his
charges Saturday and will probably
select those who win run in the relay
for the Prudential in the dual ath-
letic meet with the Metropolitan In
surance Athletic Association. Novem-
Der Is, at the First Regiment Armory.
Four of the Prudential athletes are
entered in the sprint races at the Sec
ond Battalion games-Thomas Brady,
Richard Hudson, William Van Orne
and Clifford Frazee. The latter run
ner has been going good In the To-
yard dash. With a reasonable handi-
cap he will likely figure. Brady, Van
Orne and Hudson are all In good
shape and expect to make q good
showing. Two of the "Pru" boys will
be seen in the mile run for novices.
Frank Lott and Herbert Kruttschnitt
are the distance runners from whom
Coach Coates expects much In the
dual meet between the Prudential and
Metropolitan teams. Kruttschnitt has
had q little experience in the running
line at the University of Pennsyl-
vania. He has a good style and has
made marked improvement in recent
practice. 1t is possible that both

Commission Suspends License
of Manhattan Sporting Club

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-That the
promoters of the Gunboat Smith-Bat-
Ting Levinsky bout at the Manhattan
Sporting Club recently had no legal
right to conduct the match was the
surprising evidence presented at
meeting of the Boxing Commission
yesterday. John Frank, of Brooklyn,
head of the allied Promoting Com
pany, testified and showed documen-
tary proof that he had bought all IN
terests in the club from Gil Boag last
April, but that Boag without any au-
thority from the new owners had dis
regarded the sale and conducted the
bout illegally.
The case has now become one for
the Supreme Court to decide, and
pending the decision the license of
the Manhattan Club has been sus-
pended AS Boag testified before the
Boxing Commission recently that he
was still the owner of the club, he
Is now open TO a perjury charge.
Willie Beecher sent In q complaint
against the New Polo A. A, asserting
that q check for $3.50 he had accepted

TWO BOWLERS CAPTURE FOBS
IN STAR HEADPIN TOURNAMENT
Otto Hafner and Charles Vester
Successful Primers on
! lroquois Alleys.

Members of the Emil Weston Asso-
citation showed up seventy strong for
the Star headpin tournament on the
Iroquois alleys last night. They were
led by William kull. and the whole
affair was conducted in excellent
style. The boys simply made things
hum from 1880 O'Clock, when the
plnning was started, until midnight,
when the last OF the pins fell. Every
body who tried to take matters Sc
riously, and who made real effort
to get after the watchfobs which
The Star offers for scores of 100 or
better, had to take a lot of "kid-
ding" If he kept right at his knit
ting, however, and hit the headpin
regularly, the boys would all shit
right around and root their heads
off for the slkillful bowler's success.
Two out of the seventy bowlers were
able to account for tallies better than
100, and to each was handed one OF
the silver watchfobs. Otto Hafner
was there for a count of 108, and
Charles Vester rolled log. Hafner
was after one of the gold fobs which
The Star hands out for scores of 11O
or better, but the pins did not fall
good for him in every frame and he
had to be satisfied with silver
trophy.
There were a number of comedians
In the bunch last night. Some OF
them were dressed up to represent
various characters, and the fun was
fast and furious throughout the eve-
ming. Despite all the sport Team No
/ was able to account for a total OF
421, and this is the highest recordeu
in The Star headpin tournament ~
date. Inasmuch as a first prize OF
$50, a second prize of s25, and third
prize of SIS are offered, there Is lot
of interest shown in the team work.
The total of 421 will not stand much
of a chance of taking any of the coin,
for 1t is only total over 500 that can
be regarded as in the running.
The bowling last night started
DR. promptly at 1880 o'clock, and mat
ters were run OFF without hitch
Kull was so busy seeing to 1t thai
the teams went on the alleys prompt
ly that, when it came his turn to
bowl. he was not IN the pest OF shape
and failed to account for fob.
The fob winners were both mem
bers of Team No. 1. Hafner started
off mildly enough with pair of rs
and an g. Then he knocked down
9 pins and followed with a strike
Another 8 was in order and then Q
strike and 9. Two strikes were
next in line and a brought the
total UP to 9S in the eleventh frame
Hafner wound up with a strike, ano
he received a big round OF applause
as a reward for his excellent work
Vester had three 9's and then
knocked down 5 pins. Another
followed and then pair of strikes
Another was in order and then
strike and an 8. A strike gave Vestei
SO in the eleventh, and his twelfth
ball knocked down s pins. Here are

MICHIGAN STAR IS
FIND" OF SEASON
Maulbetsch Described as the
Greatest Plunger of a Dec
ade by Experts.
HARD MAN TO BRING DOWN

THE greatest line plunger OF q
decade is the title given to Maui
betsch, the wonderful Michigan half
back. Too much cannot be said about
him after his great work in the Har-
ward and the u. Of p. games. The
following article by a Western foot
ball expert gives an inkling of the
marvellous football speed and ability
of the Western star:
"Germany's seventeen-inch siege
guns are the distinct surprise of the
European war, and Johnny Maui
betsch, of Ann Arbor, Mich, is the
sensation Of the 1914 gridiron season.
So Michigan students have been in
the habit this week of referring to
'Maully' as 'Yost's seventeen-inch
she'll
"Maulbetsch bears the same relation
to football that the seventeen-ineh
guns bear to the war Until the
Michigan Harvard battle Maulbetsch
had the reputation in Michigan as the
greatest back since the days of Willie
Heston, but in the games up to the
Harvard game Maulbetsch's work
fell short of the reputation. Against
Harvard, though, 'Maully' not only
lived up to every prediction, but
worked beyond any standard set for
him.
He is said to be the greatest line
plunger in a decade. Some are not
quite as strong as that in their COM
mendation of his work, but one thing
| is Observation-Disclosures did greater
| havoc to the Harvard line than any
man has done in recent history, and
! individually he gained more ground
| on the Crimson than any set of backs
I Harvard has met in years.
"Maulbetsch has an opportunity TO

remains at Michigan and escapes in

line is the supreme test for any back.
and to gain the way Maulbetsch did

impossibility, an accomplishment be-

at is next to impossible to tackle

ress the tackler has to be in front,
'Maully' runs at a peculiar angle and
shoots lower than probably any man

space he can show plenty of speed;
in close quarters he wriggles and
slides, often using his free hand be-

Katzenjammer Kids and Harry
Lauder Try to Break
Records.

A side line feature of Emil Yester
Association night In the Star headpin
tournament was the appearance last
night of the Katzenjammer family.
William Sanders and Otto Keil, were
dressed as the Katzenjammer kids,
while Al Wagner was the captain.

like Harry Lauder. All four, dressed
in appropriate costume. came in for
good share of attention. When it came
to bowling Harry Lauder took the

and Keil, rolled az and 80 respectively
while Al Wagner accounted for 30. The
comic sheet favorites had the crowd
in an uproar during the night.
Emil Vester was responsible for the
large turnout last night.
William Kull looked after the de-
tails, and managed the affair in a
creditable manner.
The Star headpin tournament is
now being headed by Team l of the
Emil Vester Association. The first
team of the delegation last night
handed in a score of 421.
Roofing played big part in the
affair last night, every prospective
fob-winner coming in for encourage
ment.
Seventy Primers tried for the head
pin, but only two succeeded in getting
a prize.
Otto Hafner. of Team l. collared
the first fob of the night. He bowied
a good game, for score of 1OS.
Charles yester, of the same team,
scored 100, bowling consistently
through his ten frames.
Billy Kuil found his duties as man
ager so distracting that it seriously
interfered with his ability as a
bowler. The best he could do was ia
turn in score of 81, missing the
head pin in four frames.
Pin knights of the paint, Oil and
varnish trade are scheduled to be on
hand at the Iroquois alleys tonight.

BALM AND CLICK RESTING

Realizing the necessity of drastic

Head Coach Penfleld, of the Princeton
varsity squad, assumed absolute con-
troll of the team in its rehearsal yes
terday. The many coaches who have
assisted in various ways were BAN
ished to the side lines. 1t is believed
that the variety Of individual instruc-

havoc with the chances of the Tigers
and broken up team work completely
on the defensive.
Captain BALM and Click were ex-
cused for the day. Click, the best
line breaker on the team, is not in the
best of condition, but will be ready
