Arc Best Dancers

South Americans are the best ball
room dancers in London, in the
opinion Of an impartial jury made
up of Italian, French, Spanish and
English dancing masters.
The South Americans are seen In
the west end ball rooms nearly
every night and are eagerly sought
in society as we'll as for private at
fairs when hostesses vie with one
another TO have plenty Of good dane
ers on their lists.
The South Americans have the
rhythm of the North Americans and
the style and department of the Eng
fish dancers, the judges decided. The
English are TOO stiff, the jury agreed
and dancers from the United States,
while doing spIendidly, are inclined
to put a little TOO much vigor into
their movements.

With New Governor.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kan, January 10-The
University of Kansas tonight was
without a chancellor. With but one
dissenting vote, the State Supreme
Court today rejected the appeal of
Chancellor Ernest H. Lindley for a
writ Of injunction, and upheld the
arbitrary power of the State board
of administration to employ and dis
miss the university head at will. DR..
William L. Burdick, vice president
now occupies the chair as acting
chancellor.
Court inquiry into the motive of
governor and State board in dis
charging DIR. Lindley is not possible.
according to the majority opinion
written by Justice Henry F. Mason,
and concurred in by, all justices ex-
cept Justice John s. Dawson, who
dissented.
one more hope was held out for the
Lindley administration Of the uni
versity. t was the hope that Gov.-
elect Ben S. Paulen, who succeeds to
the executive chair Monday noon,
will accede to the demands of faculty,
alumni, and students that he rein
state the evicted chancellor.
Il shall have nothing to say regard =
ing the chancellorship until l am gov
ernor," Mr.. Paulen declared today.
Petitions asking his reinstate ment
and appealing for the university di
vorced from politics, were brought to
Mr.. Paulen today by a delegation of
80 students and faculty members
from Lawrence, said to have repre-
sented every student organization on
the campus. They bore the sigma
lures of more than 5000 students and
Mr.. Paulen said only IA of the 260
faculty members refused to sign.

College Park Youth Gets Lift-Po.

Driver Gives Bail.

The custom Of Maryland State Uni
versity students at College Park of
soliciting and obtaining transportation
snto Washington from passing automo-
bilists, brought disaster to young War
rem Sanders. 22-year-old student yester-
day.
A machine came by and Warren
hailed it. 1t slowed down and he hoped
In. AS he sat back to enjoy the ride
beside Brutus Lane, the driver, he
smiled
Another youngster also came out
successful in hailing the same ma
chine. He got in, got ride, but
got out before the District line was
reached. 1t was well for him that
he did so.
For who were waiting for this par
ticular machine at the District line
but Policemen Helm and Potts of
the twelfth precinct? They stop
ped the car, alleged they discovered
liquor therein and brought Warren
and Brutus into the twelfth precinct
station.
Brutus got out on $500 bond,
= after being charged with transpor-
fation and illegal possession of liquor.
Warren was charged also. He was
still waiting late last night for his
release under S1,500 bond, which had
not been provided.
There was a second smile. That
svolved when Warren finished re-
counting the details of his meeting
and association with Brutus to the
policemen. Police are a bit cynical
at times.

by Charles III. Burke, commissioner
of Indian affairs
Declines TO State His Fee.
Harold McGuigan, attorney for
Mrs. Barnett, testified concerning the
$4,000, but refused to state how
much he himself received. The wit
ness asserted that the committee was
Investigating charges of dissipation of
the Indians fortune and the alleged
maladministration of Indian affairs,
and therefore the amount paid him
was without its jurisdiction as he was
in the employ of d white" woman
Although Representative Hastings,
Democrat, Oklahoma, insisted that
McGuigan's fee should be made a part
of the committees record, Chairman
Snyder sustained the witness, and the
matter was dropped after Representa-
tive Howard, also a Democrat from
that State, asserted that McGuigan
had been paid from the 'dissipated'
fortune that the committee was in
curing into.

SEE COMPROMISE
ON PEACE PLANS
Republican Leaders Reveal Views
on War and Disarma-
ment.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 10.--A COM
promise is possible between the
Geneva protocol for outlawing war
and the American plan of disarma-
ment, it was asserted today by Prof.
James T. Shotwell of Columbia one
of the authors of the American plan,
at the Saturday discussion of the
National Republican Club.
Prof. Shotwell said in his address
that the three means by which Amer
lea might cooperate in an interna-
tiional movement to outlaw war Were
the permanent court of international
justice, participation in recurring in
ternational conference and associa-
tion with the League of Nations.
Prof. Herbert Adams Gibbons of
Princeton took issue with Prof Shot
we'll on several important points. He
said he resented the insinuation that
isolationists were narrow Americans
Americas first interest in the pro-
tocol, the league and other interna-
tional arrangements, he said was to
insure its own security.
In turn Representative Theodore
F.. Burton attacked the views of Prof
Gibbons that Americas first thought
must be of it's own security.
I'VE are interested in what happens
in the remotest part of the world
said Representative Burton.

from one continent to another, | can

that our own security and our bound
aries set up sthe horizon to which our
interests are confined"
United States Senator Medill McCor-
mick maintained that detachment
from European complexities and at
taehment to American independence
makes alike for American security
at home and influence abroad. He
asserted that the United States SEN
ate on numerous occasions had stood
staunch for the traditional American
policy of nom -entanglement when
Presidents and statesmen had fallen

vents the game for her own amuse-
tiles to her great satisfaction, places
them all in a giant box, where they
lie, awaiting the completion of CEN

in that two games of mah-jong will
actually be played on the stage, the
first being the original Chinese game
in its classic form, which is TO be
staged by four secretaries of the

modern American game, with its
