ing to the plan decided upon at a ioint
meeting of Ann Arbor city otlicials, rep-
resentatives from the Student Coun-
cil, and the Eastern Michigan Edison
company, held yesterday afternoon at
the office of the city engineer.
Immediate action will be taker to-

kept. 0
In addition, these signs will bear
warnings and give the location of four
life boats, each \ equipped with life
preservers, oars, rope anl grapples,;
Which will be placed along the same
stretch.
A movement is under way to have
an inspection of all canoes to be rent-
ed. Those unfit for use will be done
away with, and replaced by canoes
equipped with.air tight compartments.
Life preservers are to be placed in
each boat. The river bed itself will
be attended to, stumps and posts being
removed, while at the narrow place
in the Huron near the old Argo dam
the bed of the stream is to be widened
in order to stop the rush of the cur-
rent.
Motorcycle policemen will be put
on a beat from the Argo to the 13ar-
ton dam as summer approaches, to
keep watch of the river and see that
the life preserving facilities are in
proper + condition, according to the
present plan of the combined commit-
tee.
The policemen and boats are to be
furnished by the Ann Arbor city gov-
ernment, while the students of the uni-
versity will provide the life preserv-
ers. The other material is to be don-
ated by the Eastern Michigan Edison
conpany.
Pamphlets from the health service
describing the proper way to handle
a canoe, and the method of resuscita-
tion are to be printed and distributed
among the students. A large number
will be left at the boat house.
A special nieeting ofdthe Student
Council has' been called for 7:15

Youngstown, Ohio, Mar. 8.-Judge?
E. H. Gary, chairman of the board oft
directors of the United States Steel
corporation and the officers and di-
rectors of six large steel companies
with plants at East Youngstown, were
indicted today by a Mahoning county
grand jury which charged them with
having conspired to keep down the
wages of common laborers.
More than 114 persons were indicted'
in all. There are 62 counts in which
Judge "ary and the steel corporation
are included. The whole matter re-
volves around the big riot in East
Youngstown on January 7, in which
four lives were lost, 37 persons were
injured, and property was damaged
by fire to the amount of $1,000,000.
The grand jury says that no for-

inciting the irioting or the strike of

ORCIESTRA REhiEARSES TODAY
The first costume parade of the cast
and chorus of the Union opera "Tres
Rouge' will be held tomorrow night,
according to the present plans of the
committees in charge. Both costumes
and scenery are scheduled to arrive
some time tomorrow. No definite place
for the dress rehearsal has been de-
eided upon as yet. but it is likely that
it will be held at Hill auditorium.
According to Director Morgan the
sshow would be in readiness to be given
Saturday night, thus indicating the
rapidity with which this year's opera
has been whipped into shape. Wh le
previous productions have taken
long as five or six weeks, the ope
this year has had but four weeks
prepare for the first performance.
Ten students attended the meeting
held for the opera writers yesterday,
and considerable enthusiasm was
shown as regards the new plan adopt-
ed by ie book committee. The men
who attended were given suggestions
by Director Morgan, and in about three
weeks the plots for next year's show
will be handed in."
An orchestra rehearsal will be held
at Hill auditorium at 8:00 o'clock to-
night.
