DECISION IN
SALOON CASE
Lawrence J. Damm Discharged When
Jury Returns Verdict After
Being Out For Two
Hours.
LEAVES LIQUOR SITUATION
MUCH THE SAME AS BEFORE
J. H. Miuzey, '16, and Ward Hopkins,
'16, kre Chief Witnesses
For State.
Lawrence J. Damm, the Washington
street saloonist charged with selling
liquor to students last May, was found
"not guilty" by the jury in the circuit
court yesterday afternoon. The trial
ocupied the entire day and the jury
was out for two hours before arriving
at a verdict.
The case was called for trial at nine
o'clock and the task of impnelling the
jury took nearly the entire morning.
J. H. Minzey, '16, the complainant, was
the first witness called. Minzey testi-
fied that he had bought two glasses of
beer for himself in Damm's place, on
the evening of May 20, 1913, and had
also purchased one for Ward Hopkins,
'16. Upon cross-examination by Col.
J. P. Kirk, counsel for the defense,
Minzey refused to admit that he had
made the complaint against Damm un-
der compulsion, although Kirk tried
to establish such a motive.
Ward Hopkins, '16, next took the
.stand and his story of the drinking in
DAmm's saloon on the evening of May
20, 1913 was substanti4lly the same
as that told by Iinzey
The defendant was the lest witness
called and he admitted selling the
liquor to Minzey and Igpkins but
stated that he did not know they were
students, No other witnesses were
called and the arguments by the oppos-
ing counsel followed.
Prosecutor Burke stated that the
verdict in this case leaves the liquor
situation in much the same state as it
was before Damm was arrested. The
case will not be appealed.

pared with 2,700 horse power furnish-
ed by the present plant. Bricking in

while the generators and auxiliary
machinery are expected to be in place

LEADS ITS CLASS,

Than Those of Any Other
State College.
MORE THAN'328,000 BOOKS HERE. NOVICE RACE BEING PLANNED.
CROSS COUNTRY IS
SHOWING RESULTS
Grauman, Young, Shapiro, and Fox
Are Doing Good Work According
to Captain Brown.'
According to the latest available fig-
ures, Michigan has the largest state
university library in the country. The
statistics for the year 1912 show the
Michigan library to contain 305,684 vol-
umes, while Illinois and California
come a close second. Several of the
endowed universities of the east have
larger libraries than the state insti-
tutions. A partial list for the year
1912 is found elsewhere on this page.
The Illinois library has a much
larger annual appropriation than
Michigan and is growing far more
rapidly. At present Michigan's num-
ber of volumes has been increased to
over 328,000. A staff of 20 assistants
is required for their ,care whose sala-
ries amount to $29,980.00.
The library staff has been busy all
summer repairing and replacing books
damaged in the south wing fire last
spring. Librarian Koch estimates that
about 3,000 volumes and periodicals
were damaged or destroyed.
Comedy Club to Hold Tryouts Friday.
Owing to the fact that many students
who wished to try out for member-
ship in the Comedy club were unable
to answer the recent call for tryouts,
the club at a meeting yesterday decid-
ed to hold additional tryouts Friday
afternoon from 4:00 till 5:00 o'clock.
Gordon C. Eldredge, '14, was elected
secretary-treasurer of the club irb
place of Joseph Turpin, '14, who has
withdrawn from the university.
"The work of Grauman, Young,
Shapiro and Fox has been especially
pleasing," announced Captain Brown
of the cross country squad last night,
preparatory to starting on a seven
mile grind with his squad of distance
runners.
"The ability of Grauman, a fresh-
man is particularly commendable,"
continued the captain, "when it is tak-
en into consideration that he is a
youngster."
The four mile novice race which
will probably be staged the first Sat-
urday in November offers unusual in-
ducements as both cups and numer-
als will be awarded to the winners.
This jaunt is planned to be a four mile
affair open to anyone in school at pres-l
ent, regardless of class or department.
Captain Brown has expressed a de-
sire for more candidates and stated
that he believed a larger turnout
would result if the men understood the
conditions which govern the coming
novice race. Wearers' of the C.C.C.
are barred which leaves an open field
to those who as yet are new in the
branch of work here in the University.
Tryouts For Michiganensian Wanted.
Contracts for space in the 113-14
Michiganensian have been sent out to
sororities and fraternities. Opportun-
ities for work on the Michiganensian
are stated to he abundant as the num-
ber of tryouts is unusually small this
year.
VARSITY BAND ASSURED BY
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
Michigan will surely have a regular
Varsity band and probably before the
end of the week, according to Director
P. G. Bartelme. No definite details of
control have yet been decided upon,
although it is practically decided that
the athletic association will have en-
tire control of the organization. The
reorganization committee will agree
on further details within the next few
days.

Michigan Union members, faculty
and students, gathered at the Michi-

200 at the big 'Welcome Dinner.' Good-
fellowship and honest relations pre-
valled when professors met students
on common ground, as Michigan Unionl
members.
"I believe in the Michigan Union,"l
said Pres. Harry B. Hutchins, "be-
cause it stands for the solidity of
Michigan. Its influence is to bring
faculty and students together. TheI
members of the faculty wish to get'
close to the student body.
"I do not look out on thet student#
body from the summt,' he said, "I
feel that we are en the same level.'
When we get the magnificent building
of which we are dreaming, and which
I do not believe to be so far distant,
I hope to see an even closer relation.
"Every student makes a ndstake,"I
he said, "when he does not come into4

he smashed over for scores, but was
called back once because the Varsity
held.
Bastian was used at left half against
the scrubs in the second half, and con-
tinued his excellent showing. Catlet,
Mead and Quinn were the rear trio
in the first half.
Hughitt ran the team during the en-
tire scrimmage, and starred . a
forward pass to Torbet for C,,enity
yards over the fresh goal line for the
first score.
A few minutes later Quinn made- a
fair catch on the forty-two yard line,
and Capt. Paterson booted a perfect
goal from placement. Bastian smash-
ed over for the last score against the
freshmen, after Hughitt got away for
a long run to the one yard mark.
The new bacfield men went in
against the scrubs in the second half,
and Pontius made his score before the
scrubs upset proceedings with their
fluke score.
Bentley then intercepted the scrub
toss and placed the ball within the
scoring distance. Pontius went over,
but the Varsity was penalized fifteen
yards. Bastian then took the ball over
on three plunges through the line, and
the game was over.
The teams lined up as follows:
Varsity-Torbet, Watson, LE; Mus-
ser, LT; Lichtner, McHale, LG; Pat-
erson, C; Cochran, Allmendinger, RG;

2. He favors the granting of a suit-

3. He favors reorganiging the band,
and placing it on a sound financial and
business basis, of making its member-
ship competitive and that it should be
given at least one big trip a year.
4. He favors some arrangement

He believes that the restrictions in
regard to Varsity baseball men playing
summer ball should be more lenient.
He advocates the granting of "Rs"
or similar insignia to members of the
Varsity baseball squad who fail to win

A University band which shall play

have one trip a year.
