BIC LOSS TO STATE
Teachers Will Not Work I'm
less They Get Salaries.
Legislature Made 1t Impossible
to Pay Them All.
HOLD A CONFERENCE HERE
Heads of Schools Try to Devise
Workable Plans.
Brewster Called to Conference
in Governors Office.
HOLD A CONFERENCE HERE

Heads of state institutions and de-
partments were in conference in Gov
ernor Capper's office this afternoon in
an effort to learn just what the re-
cent legislature did to them. Inves-
tigation of appropriation bills shows
that in many instances management
of state titutions-especially the
big schools-are due to suffer many
Inconvenience and hardships unless
the attorney generals office can pro-
vide a loopho1e for the expenditure
of funds.
Saddened college heads came to To-
peka today with their little trouble
songs. They found that the legisla-
ture gave them thousands of dollars
more than is absolutely necessary for
maintenance. On the other hand
they denied them thousands of dollars
absolutely necessary for the payment
of salaries. And unless state en-
ployes are paid their salaries, they
refuse to work.
Old Order Was Best.
During former legislative sessions
the law makers provided a combina-
ton salary and maintenance appro-
pr1ation item Under the bill a $780,
oOo fund might be used for both
purposes. Sometimes the schools
and state departments didn't receive
as much as they wanted or felt they
needed. But the matter was always
worked out and the schools suffered
out little. Now the legislature has
provided appropriations in separate
detailed items. No one knows Just
what can be done
$ M Brewster. attorney general.
was today called into the conference.
Members of the state board of admin
istration, heads of the big state
schools. various state officials and de-
partment heads attended the meeting
in the governors office. The question
OF solving the situation was checked
squarely up to the attorney general.
Professors Must Eat.
generally interpreted, salary funds
cannot be spent for maintenance
Neither can the maintenance fund be
used for the payment of salaries. OF
course, the college men could go be-
fore the next legislature with def
cheney items and would probably re-
ceive their money But the college
men are human. They must eat They
must keep together the members of
their families and they must pay their
bills when due. Very few of the in
structors could afford to carry a two
year salary item in their vest pock-
cts. Rather they prefer to go to
schools in other states where salaries
have been provided.
One school man explained TODAY
that the legislature simply bungled
the appropriations for the big state
schools. 1t is asserted that they mere
ly struck lump sum which would be
allowed each school. Then the items
were separated with little regard for
actual needs and necessities. AS a re-
suit much legal authority-possibly an
opinion from the supreme court-will
be necessary before the matter can be
Strengthened out

ALL over TODAY
Dentists Go Home After This
Afternoons Program.
Topeka Will Get Big COnven-
ton Again Next Year.

Filling teeth was the chief occupa-
ton of the Kansas State Dental asso-
citation members this afternoon. A
free clinic was conducted under the
supervision of Dr. w. E. Harper.
Earlier in the session DIR. Harper gave
three lectures on "Amalgam filling"
and the clinic this afternoon put to
practice the theories and technique
which he emphasized in these.
This morning the convention held a
business session to install the new Off
GERS, elected Wednesday evening. The
officers installed are: DIR. George A.
Crise. OF Manhattan, president; DR..
Monte Giants, Cawker, first vice presi-
dent; DR.. Fred Rooster, Topeka, sec
ond vice president; DR.. c. K. Weaver,
Clay Center, secretary, and DR.. E. c.
Glass. of Independence, treasurer.
A meeting of the executive council
was held this morning and plans were
laid for next years convention. The
meeting will again be held in Topeka
and the general plan OF the meeting
was not changed Each speaker is
to give a series of lectures, demonstra-
lions and then a clinic will be given
on each subject discussed. General
discussions will also be part of the
program.
Entertained by Akc-Pots.
Wednesday night clinic" was
held by the Ake-Pot Sterboos in
honor of the visiting dentists. The
actual happenings seem to be of a
secret nature nature but any dentist
will tell you that the Ake-PotS forgot
only one thing in their royal enter
tainment and that is that the dentists
will have their way with the members
some day.
The official adjournment is sched-
uled for this evening after the clinic
and a general discussion, but nearly
half of the members left Topeka this
morning after the new officers were
installed.
According to the dentists this has
been one of the most successful con-
ventions ever held by their organiza-
ton. The plan of having only men
from outside the organization conduct
the lectures was entirely new this
year and it proved very successful.

THROW OFF YOUR YOKE
Russians Appeal to Central Powers to
Gust Crowned Heads.

Petrograd, March 28.-An appeal
to the workmen of the German and
Austrian coalition to rise against the
imperial authority and to esta blish
their freedom says the Petrograd
Telegraph agency, was launched at a
mass meeting of workmen, soldiers
and deputies, held today at the duma.
The appeal was directed to the prole-
tariat of the whole world, but it
specifically deSignateS the central
powers, urging the workmen of these
countries to throw off the yoke of
autocratic rule as the Russian people
have overthrown the imperial auto
crat, and refuse to serve longer as an
instrument in the hands of kings
capitalists and bankers
By united effort, the appeal de-
clares. I'VE can stop this awful muir

Chamberlain of the senate military
committee with a White House en-
gagement for late today, said he
would ask President Wilson in his ad-
dress to congress next week to indorse

Nervous Period.
fCaI Headaches

This trouble commonly called Sick
headache" Is said to be due to the retention
of urea In the system. Often it is stated that
n poor condition of the blood is a cause of
these headaches, or that 1t is q nervous con-
dttions and in certain cases. no doubt this
is true.
Where treatment is demanded, it is more
for the pain than anything else, and DR..
A F. Schellschmidt of Louisville, has found
anti-kamnia tablets to give prompt and
satisfactory relief Rest should be insisted
upon" he says. and the patient should go
to bed, darken the room, and all the atten-
dants and family should be as quiet as pos
sible- An emetic will sometimes shorten
the attack. The bowels should be kept open
and a hot bath and thorough rundown
win coarse towel, often give grateful
relief. Two anti-kamnia tablets when the
nrst signs appear, will usually prevent the
attack During an attack, one tablet every
hour or two will shorten the attack and
relieve the usual nausea and vomiting. I"
These tablets may be obtained at all drug
gfsts. Ask for AK Tablets. They are also
unexcehed for nervous headaches, neuralgia
and all pains.

HARvARD-yALE
RACE May NOT
Be ON THAMES

New Haven, March 3-Closing of
the port of New. London, necessitating
that the Harvard boat race be
held on some other course than the
Thames river, in the event that war
is declared or preparations for enner-
bilities now being discussed in uni
versity athletic circles.
New London as a naval and torpe-
do boat base is an important port,
and for any exigency it would be i'm
perative that admission of vessels to
the harbor be restricted, if not, in
deed prohibited In that case pri-
vate yachts would be barred, and in
all probability the race would be for
hidden
The report that closing of New
London is likely to take place at any
time has been made public, but is not
officially confirmed, and neither
United States naval, customs or re-
venue authorities here, nor officials
at the Yale ticket office know any
thing of it.
Should the race at New London be
barred rather than be postponed it
is thought that it would be- held on
the Housatonic river, at Derby, or on
the Hudson, at Poughkeepsie. How
ever, crew officials continue with
whatever plans are made thus early
in the season, for the regatta on the
Thames.

won his last bout by a knockout in Jig

YANkS START
MILITARY drill
NEXT. MONDAY

Macon, Ca, March 3-Military
training for the members Of the Yam
KEGS and the New York baseball
writer's with the team will begin at 3
o'clock on Monday morning. This
announcement was made late yester-
day afternoon by Capt. T. l.. Hus-
ton, part owner of the club, after he
had received the following telegram
from Major Doreys General Woods
aide at Governors Island, in New
York. -
''I shall look out for arrangements
for your players in Macon. Have
wired Kenney. How about National
Lacquer
This message was a reply to the
one Capt. Huston sent to Major Dorey
on Tuesday, asking permission for
Sergt.l Smith P. Gibson, the recruiting
officer in charge here, to drill the
athletes and scribes for an hour or so
each morning before the regular prac-
tice began. All of the thirty-four
players Of the New York team will
probably report for drill on Monday,
as the regular members of the team
are due at the Hotel Dempsey either
late tonight or Sunday.
Practically every club in the Ameri-
Cdu League Will SOOu nave UT1lI n1HS-
ter at it's camp, and there is no Dues
ton that the preparedness campaign
will share the limelight with the ac-
complishments of the bushers who
are trying to win a place under the
big tent.
AS Gov. Tener, President of the Ma
tional League, is in favor of the move
ment, and believes that it is an es-
sential one for this country, it is like
ly that the old organization eventu-
ally will develop into a military pre-
paredness league as well as one of
baseball.

CARL MORRIS is
ACCUSED Of FOUL
IN BONDS BATTLE

II New York. March 3-Carl Morris,
the Sapulpa giant, and Joe Bonds
only fought little over four and a
quarter rounds last night at the Har-
lem Sporting club. In the early part
of the fifth round Morris drove a
hard left to Bonds body. oBnds went
down on his launches and claimed
the blow was foul. This was dis
puted by Morris, who claimed the
blow was fair.
Tex O'Rourke, the referee. imme-
diately stopped the bout and Bonds
went to his corner. When asked
whether the blow was foul or not.
the referee declined to answer, which
was rather amazing. To the majority
OF spectators the blow appeared fair
and also the hardest of the encounter.
UP to the sudden ending there was
nothing exciting happening. Morris,
who weighed 235 pounds, spent most
of his time hanging onto Bonds. On
the sother hand, Bonds, who tipped
the beam at $50 pounds, endeavored
to dance about and snap over a few
lefts. Morris got in a few blows to
the midriff, but they didn't appear
to carry much steam.

WHITE S0X PAID
$4,000 FOR GANOIL

New York, March 3.-Owner Com
iskey, OF the Chicago White sox, Is said
to have paid $1,000 to the Cleveland
club for the release of First Baseman
Chick Gandil. The White Sox have
vainly tried to develop Fourier. and
Ness to cover. that position properly,
but both have failed to~come up to the
required standard. GaHin led the
American league first basenaaA in field
ing last season with d percentage of
.995. His batting average was .259
in 146t games, whereas Fournier, in
105 contests, batted .240. Ness played
rs games>and had a percentage of .267,
but he could not supplant Fournier.
-Comiskey believes that Gandil will
improve in batting and that his recog-
nized skill as first baseman will
greatly strengthen the infield of the
White Sox. Gandil was purchased
from the Montreal club by the Wash
fngtons several years ago for 1000.
He played some great ball for Clark
Griffith in 1915 and finally disposed
OF him to the Cleve1ands. Griff wanted
to make room for Joe Judge of the
Buffalo club, but the latter couldn't
hit HEX last year which made it ap-
pear that the sale Of Gandil and Lee
Foil was a serious b1under.
Tha C1evelands intend to play Guis-
to-. the Coast league star, in GandiPs
place this year. Guisto is said to be
Gandips equal as fielder, but his bat
ting skill against American league
pitchers is an unsolved problem.

CAN RED MURRAY
DO COMEBACK IN
GIANTS 0UTFIELD

RED" Murray, who starred in right
garden for the Giants for several sea-
sons and who played with Toronto
last Year, will try to come back with
his old club this season. RED" has
been engaged by McGraw for the role
Of utility outfielder. The red-topped
diamond warrior will be 81 years old
on Sunday, as he was born March 4,
1886, at Arnot, Pa. Murray induced
the Toronto management to declare
him a free agent with the intention
of becoming minor league pilot, but
he jumped at the chance to get back
into a, Giant uniform. He will get a
feStivet welcome from the Gotham
fans, with whom Red was always a
faVorite.
AT 81 Red Jack isn't so old but
what he ought to have several good
games left in his system. He started
playing as a sen1i-pro in Corning and
Elmira. N. Y, and at Notre Dame
University. In 1906 he was engaged
as a backstop by the st. Louis Car
dinals, but was soon sent to the out
field. He stuck with the Cards until
the close of the 1908. season, when he
was sold to the Giants.
heu mao many ClaSfeS With M c.
GraW over his apparent unw;u;agness
to work at the training camp In
1915 Murray was given his release.
and caught on with the Cubs, but at
the close of the season he was releas-
ed to Kansas City. Red" refused to
go, and President Tener decided that
he was a free agent, after which he
landed q job with Toronto. Murray
has never been a 800 hitter, although
he is there in a pinch, but his greatest
claim to fame was his hard and ac-
curate throwing.

The governor emphasized the fact
that he believed in these times a mis-
