mas to Seniors on June 20.
Many to Be Absent.

Madison-On June 20 President
Charles r. Van Hise will present S72
diplomas to seniors at the commence
ment exercises of the University of

The feature of this years COM
mencement will be the great number
of seniors who will be graduated in
absentia. 1t is estimated that sheep
skins will have to be mailed to over
800 men graduates. Over this number
have already left for some sort of war
service, more than 200 being at Fort
Sheridan. President Van Hise Is ne
gotiating with the commandant at the
fort to see if ii will be possible to get
the seniors who are in training there
to come back for graduation. 1t is
quite doubtful, however. if the men
will be given leave and in that case
their diplomas will be sent to them at
the camp.
The commencement exercises will
begin with the baccalaureate sermon
by the Rev. Hugh Black of the Union
Theological seminary on Sunday, June
II. Monday will be class reunion day,
when all classes represented at the
commencement, including the alumni
back for their annual reunion will hold
meetings, picnics and exercises.
Tuesday will be alumni dav. with a
parade through the streets of Madison,
a banquet and the annual alumni ball.
The commencement exercises will
take place on Wednesday.

possible many school teachers of the
state receiving an increase in salary
during the coming year. The legisla-

$40 a month School men claim that
the minimum salary law has brought
better teachers into the profession.
In order to enforce the provision for
this minimum salary the law as just
signed by the governor provides that
mo apportionment of school funds
shall be made to any city, village or
town" unless the common school
shall have been taught by qualified
teacher paid salary of not less than

JUDGE so DECIDES IN CIRCUIT
COURT AT KANSAS CRY.
Petitioners for Injunction Advised to
Go to the Nearest Place
of Registry.

Kansas City. Mo-, June Judge
Daniel Bird In the circuit court here
on Thursday denied an injunction to
prevent state officials from enforcing
the draft registration.
Judge Bird held that the draft law
was valid and that his court had no
jurisdiction to prevent Its being car
ried out.
From the bench he recommended
that Thomas Sullivan and Raymond l..
Moore. the petitioners, both of whom
are eligible for registration, seek out
the first enlistment place without at
tempting to evade the registration law.
J. ID. Showalter, attorney for the pc
titloners, announced Immediately after
the decision was rendered that he
would go to Jefferson City at once for
the double purpose Of endeavoring TO
obtain an appeal hearing before the
supreme court and of i'-3tituting man
damus proceedings against the govern
or and other state officials. These, he
hoped, If granted, would prevent the
enforcement of the registration law
throughout Missouri.
Judge Bird in his decision, referred
to the selective draft army as the
'most equitable and efficient this
country has ever had
He said he had studied all the sim
liar laws since the formation of the
republic and that none was compare
Bile to the new law. He also ruled that
in times OF war state, county and city
officials could be used by congress To
further any war measures.
The petition had sought to invoke
the thirteenth and fourteenth amend
ments of the federal Constitution and
also certain provisions of the Missouri
constitution. Judge Bird ruled against
all the points brought up.

BUILDING CAN BE DELAYED
Executive Declares Expenditures of
$4,000 Annually Should Be De-
layed Until After War to
Meet Present Calls.

Madison Gov. Philip has sent a
message to the senate. vetoing the
Wilcox bill, appropriating s52,500 an.
nually for the construction of armor-
les for the Wisconsin National guard.
The reasons of the governor for We.
toing the bill were that the measure
would add to the burden Of the tax
payer a sum for military purposes not
absolutely necessary at this time when
he will be called upon to contribute
for war purposes to the limit of his
ability to pay, that it would take men
from the field of active production
where they are sorely needed at the
present time. and that it would com
pei the state to purchase materials
for the construction of buildings at a
time when the cost thereof is far
above normal prices. The senate
postponed action on the veto. 1t is
not believed that the bill will be
passed over the governors veto.
