AGGIES NOT DOWNCAsT.
Bender's Team Expects to Give Okla
homa a Good Battle.

Ben0erS Ieam Expects 10 Give Oi<Ia-
homa "a Good Battle.
Manhattan, Nov. 17.-'In spite of
the fact that all the dope is with the
Sooners, we expect to give them one
of their hardest games when they
come here Friday says Coach John
Bender.
1.-The Aggies seem to have come nut
of the slump they went into after the
K. U. game and then, too, we will be
playing on our own grounds, a fact
that always IS a big consideration
with the Wildcats"
The team is in fairly good shape
with the exception of Bert Barns, the
star half back, who has a badly torn
side muscle and probably will not go
into the game. Ptacek has a badly
sprained thumb, but that is not ex-
pected to keep him out of all the
game.
There is every indication that the
attendance at the game Friday will
be a record. All the stores and bust
ness houses in Manhattan will be
closed for the day and it is expected
that excursions will be run here from
nearby towns. The game will start
at 3:15 and the admission is 81.

wards immediate preparation for the
game with Yale to be played in the
stadium next Saturday, began Tues
day. The fact that the practice ses-
sion lasted two hours and a half and
was the longest of the season was re-
garded as an indication of the i'm
portance attached by the Crimson
coaches to the recent development of
the Blue team.
The offensive powers of the eleven
were tested in an eight-minute con-
test with a team of coaches. The
varsity made one touchdown.

NEW TREATY AID TO BRITAIN
Plenty of Time Finally to Adjust Ship

London, Dec. 31.-WhiIe most OBJ
servers feel the present situation re-
garding the treatment of American
ships and cargoes will not bring a cri-
sis or even strained relations, officials,
nevertheless, take into consideration
that the recently signed peace treaty
gives a chance for delay, although the
British government intends to do
everything possible to reach a mutual
ly satisfactory settlement, it is quite
within the range of possibility that
such settlement will be impossible.
If things reach a deadlock, then
England may fall back on the new
treaty, which requires a years inves-
tigation of mooted points.
There is no doubt that the British
statesmen realize that in the treaty
they have a trump card, for under its
terms England could carry out the
policy, which it maintains is right, for
the year of investigation or cooling
off period which the treaty provides.
In the meantime it would be England's

CASE PUZZLES OFFICIALS
Staying of Convict at State PeniteIl-
tiary in Lansing Brings Up Fine
Point of Law.

Can the state of Kansas do anything
about furnishing the three convicts
held responsible by a coroner's jury
IL Leavenworth county for the murder
of Frank Miller No. 5, an inmate Of
the insane ward at the state peniten-
tiary, and if so, what?
David y. Flynn, county attorney of
LeaVeaworth county, wants to know.
John s. Dawson, attorney general, is
looking up the problem in answer to
letter received from Flynn asking
what steps should be taken.
The case presents a bewildering Ie-
gal tangle. Frank Miller No 3, ac-
cording to the coroner's jury, was
killed by three other convicts. Frank
Miller No. 4, no relative, serving five
to ten-year sentence for burglary from
Washington county; William La
TTasse, ten to twenty-one years for
train robbery, Wyandotte county, and
T. C. C'Home RUM Campbell, one
to five years for robbery, Barton
county.
The beating of Frank Miller No. 5,
which resulted in his death on De-
cembeT 20, was witnessed only by con-
Ficts. Their testimony is not adnis-
si0le IN court 1t was suggested that
the witnesses might be pardoned and
then Used as witnesses.
This presented a fresh complication
The witnesses not only were convicts,
they were insane convicts, confined in
tie ward for the criminal insane az
Lansing. If court could accept the
testimony of pardoneG cn0Vici,
could it admit that of an insa"c man?
sSone of the three sane convicts who
participated in the killing could be
forced to testify. III his letter lynn
admits he is stur1PVd. Dawson hasn't
as yet been able tC solve the problem.
From the present outlook the state
has no way to punish the conyictS for
Iru1Gering an insane prisoner Whec
there were no witnesses except in
mates of the big house" ward.

ENGLAND is NOT RESENTFUL
American Note of Protest Received in
Friendly Spirit, Says Walter
Hines PAGE

Washington, Jan 2-Ambassador
Walter Hines Page, in a long report
from London, received here today, fol-
lowing his conferences with high Off
Gals there, described the general atti-
tude of the British government and
the people toward the American note
of protest concerning shipping as en-
tirely friendly. He said a reply has
been promised within very few days.
The ambassador detailed the British
press criticism, the tone of which he
regarded as on the whole reasonable
and amicabIe In some quarters, not
among officials, he has found dispo-
sition to search for a motive behind
the American note, some Englishmen
suggesting that the Washington ad-
ministration was compelled to yield to
pressure from members of congress
representing constituencies vitality af-
fected by the Interruptions in trade.
This portion Of the English public
seems to think the American note was
intended to some extent for home con-
sumption.

TWO DEAD IN HOTEL CRASH

Kansas City, Dec. "a wooden
canopy over the walk for the protec-
ton of pedestrians on the east side
Of the new MuehIebach hotel crashed
to the ground at noon yesterday, bury
ing nine men beneath the ruins. Two
men were killed. Walter s. (Rube)
Dickinson, a monologist, appearing at
the new Orpehum theater, and Sand
ers Kenner, a negro. Six Of the seven
injured are reported in a dangerous
condition.
The accident was caused by an cleo
trical supply wagon backing into the
supports of the walk canopy. The
structure was Jared loose at the
Twelfth street end where the wagon
had struck it. Then with gathering
momentum it took only a second to
rip loose and crash to the ground.
