More Than $500.
Workers Guaranteed $3,4OO
More in Two Weeks.
CAMPAIGN TO Be CONTINUED
No Hesitation Until Entire
Amount Is Raised.
Grand Total Now Is Little Less
Than 40 Thousand.

More than seven thousand dollars
was made certain for the Washburn
endowment fund when the workers
met at the Y. NJ. C. A at noon today.
After reporting actual pledges exceed
ing $3,5 and pledging themselves to
collect as much more in the next ten
days or two weeks the workers decid-
ed to call it a day and knock off for
the afternoon. The workers were in
vited to attend the football game in
a body as the guests of the Washburn
Athletic association.
The first section of the endowment
campaign was completed at the noon
rally today when the results of the
two weeks of work showed more han
$4,000 of the 100000 sought had
been pledged or underwritten. Then
the workers agreed to work alone
during the next week, ear worker
underwriting from S25 to 500 as the
amount of pledges he would secure
during this period. This total of
pledges underwritten was $3,475 which
made the actual total pledged to the
fund over $4,000, thus leaving $14,-
900 to be secured directly by Presi-
dent Womer and the board of trustees.
All the cards of the business men of
the city were turned in by the work
ers and these business men will be Wis
tied by President Womer and some OF
the trustees of the college. The indi-
vidual cards of the citizens of Topeka
who had not been seen by the workers
were left with them to complete as
part of the underwriting pledge.
Noon Day Rallies.
There will be monday rallies of the
workers Wednesday and Saturday of
next week at the Commercial club
when further plans for completing the
campaign will be discussed. There is
now no doubt of the success of the
campaign. There are many men and
women in Topeka who have not had
chance to make pledge. Several
thousand dollars of the total already
reported came unsolicited and by peo-
pie who called workers by telephone
and asked for pledge cards During
the next two weeks the workers, as
they can find the time, will visit. the
hundreds who have not been solicited
for the endowment fund and the sub
scriptions thus received will make the
underwriting pledge made today.

UNCERTAIN DESTINY
 OF \ MEXICAN TOT

Ramona Garcia, one time wife If Marto Martin, who was murdered in Tempe last week. came into the lime light of her own accord yesterday, when she appeared in the justice court charged with Kidnapping her tiny daughter, Annette Garcia.
 The juvenile authorities placed the two-year- old in the home of Clara Morago, eight miles west on the Yuma road, after a hearing in which the mother was declared not the proper person to have the care and custody of the child. A month ago the Garcia woman gained possession of her daughter and left for Superior where she remained in hiding until the night of the death of Martin. She was ar rested at the lime and Annette placed in the Detention Home.
 I did what any mother would have done had she had the chance" said Ramona Garcia, when she was bound over to the superior court in the sum of $500 bail. The tiny mite over whom proceedings concerned Justice De Souzas court yesterday, has fig ured in the courts before. Not long ago the manager of the Sta~ Lodging house contemplated adopting her but the matter was delayed owing to the fact that he had not taken steps to- ward providing a housekeener or plac- ing the voWgster in a suitable home. In the meantime she has passed from hand tO hand, being at one time with | family named .Tosefa and later with 1 the MOragos with occasi0oal weeks at 1 the Detention Home
