The tentative budget was informally
submitted to the Board Of Estimate

board has to adopt it, tentatively, by

Der 20, the date of the final public
hearing. Decreases can be made even
after the Board of Estimate adopte the
final budget on October 81, when it
goes to the Board of Aldermen for it's
approval. The latter board usually
makes a few small reductions, but
cannot add anything to the budget
items.
During the last week the finance and
budget committee has held daily meet
ings. The result Of their labors is
seen in part when the figures of the
requests are consdered Every effort
to increase either the personnel or

ordinate city official, or other en-
ployee, has been resisted.
Per Diem Employees Hit
The summary shows that the al
lowances for salaries and per diem
employees, of all classes, for 1921,
amounted to s112,2S9, $50. This sum
was increased during the first half of

account for 1922 at siO9 $50, $40.

ScHUMARh-AEIHk

Topeka has been singularly fortu-
nate in her concerts this winter. In
deed the concert season has shown
much of the aspect of a metropolitan
season with orchestra concerts. cham
Der music ensemble, concert organ
lists, great pianfsts, violinists and sing
ers in abundance. 1t is am evidence
of Topeka's growing musical culture
that the attendance at these has
grown rather than diminished as the
year has passed and concerts have
come more frequently.
The concert last night was no eX-
ception to the rule. Altho the audi
torium was notscrowded it was COM
fortably filled and what~the audience
lacked in size it more than made up
in enthusiasm. But this enthusiasm
was all justified and more. for the
great and only Schumann-H eink was
at her best vocally and artfstically. 1t
is little short of a miracle when wo-
man who frankly admits sixty years,
can sing with the freshness and beauty
of voice, the enthusiasm and artistic
authority displayed, last night. There
is no praise to bring to her that has
not been brought many times in the
past, but never was praise more justly
earned, whether it be for the clarity
of her diction. the beauty and opu-
ience of tone the shade of intonation.

ANOTHER SCANDAL SHEET"

1t is very evident, following the pub
LEGATION of another scandal sheet"
distributed among Washburn students
today that the authorities of the col
lege should appeal to federal officers
for the arrest and conviction of the
editors of this outrageous sheet. Lack
ing cleverness. originality and literary
merit, it is merely a printed page of
filth and immoral suggestiveness.
Similar publications have made
their appearance in college circles
over the country in the last few years.
At Kansas university a pamphlet was
distributed last week. Today under
the heading. 1.-The Masked Disturber,''
the rottenness appeared on the steps
of fraternity, sorority and boarding
houses at Washburn.
For the last two years masked pub
LEGATIONS have been evident at Wash
burn and the college authorities have
been unable to discover the identity
of the editor or editors.
The Masked Disturberp issued to-
day has overstepped all bounds of
decency and thru the use of names of
men and women students. it has be-
come criminally libelous. It is a pub
Hcation that should be turned over to
federal officials-at least to city or
county police-with the demand from
the faculty and student body of the
college for a thoro investigation. Per-
sons distributing such printed material
deserve rigid prosecution.

ALL ENJOYED IT
Rotary Actors Had as Good a
Time as Audience.
Another s. r. o. Sign Out for
the House Tonight.

1t would be only guesswork to con-
lecture who had the best time at the
Grand last night, the audience or the
Rotarians who put on the Uncle
Toms Follies of 1921" show. OF
course the audience laughed the hard
est and made the most noise, but the
members of the cast were at times so
convulSed over the antics of their EEL
low Rotarians that they almost missed
their cues. The house was sold out
and the house for the second produc-
ton tonight is also sold out, so there
can be no doubt to the financial
success of the venture.
The show was cleverly conceived
and ably staged. showing remarkable
originality in treatment for an anna
teur production. Much of the credit
for the success of the venture can be
given to Don Grindell. who the
program declares was responsible for
the clever lines. What lyrics there are
are credited to G. L. Hooper and
Bib Eden. The music is attributed
to Henry Dotterweich and Paul Law

the occasion of the most bilarity in the
audience were unreserSedly credited
by the ROtarianS to the wives of the
members.
1t was not an Uncle Tom Show pri-
marily. by any means, tho the plot,
what there was of it, was based on the
famous Civil War novel. 1t was pre-
scented in a prologue of two scenes
and four acts, with an epilogue-the
why the epilogue only Charles Elliott
can explain and he didn't. We, the
audience, are grateful to him, how
ever, for the glimpse of the Santa Fe
Beauties he gave us.
The first scene of the prologue
shows the gang trying to decide what
they are going to do and the second,
showed Ernest Hogueland reading the
story of Uncle Tom to his son. Robert

FEAR BLACK RACE

Negroes Reused Over "Murder
Farm" Confession.

Covington. Ca, March 29.-Prepa-
rations for starting an immediate in
yestigation were being made today by
the Newton county grand jury Of an
alleged plot to arraign negroes against
white residents as climax to the I'M
earthing of a death farm on John
S. Williams's plantation near here.
Decision to present the matter to
the grand jury followed receipt of
threatening notes b. white people,
warning them to beware of a negro
uprising, officials stated,
Persistent reports in circulation here
tell of an alleged confession, said to
have been made by a white man, re-
vealing a plot thru which public opin-
ion would be turned against the ne
groeS in an effort to aid the cause of
Williams, who is expected to be placed
on trial here for the alleged murder
of negro farm hands on his plantation.
While no official announcement has
been made of the confession said to
have been given officers, it was
charged today that the notes inform
ing white citizens that the negroes
