Scott will be held in El Paso as soon as the two generals can get to this city. This was stated defi- nitely by General Obregon to whom it is understood the matter of a place for the conference had been left. It is understood that General Scott, accompanied by General Frederick Funston, will meet General Obregon, who probably will be acocmpanied by General Sabriel Gavira, Juarez com- m'nder, and General Luis Sutierrez, commander in Chihuahua, on the in- ternational bridge, and that the con- ference will be held either at Fort Bliss or at some place in El Paso, to be decided upon by General Scott. Mexican officials intimated tonight that a preliminary conference prob- ably would be held in Juarez. According to what can be learned here it is believed that the conference here will result in a declaration for Americans to cease active hunting of Villa bandits in Mexico, but to remain in Mexico in concentration camps with their activities confined to restricted areas, for the moral effect it will have on the bandits. The Americans are to remain inac- tive as long as the Carranzistas are able to control the bandit situa- tion, and when it is shown to the satia- faction of the United States that the bandits have been run down, the American forces are then to draw out. 1eantime the American troops hold themselves in readiness to co-olerate with the Carranza troops if they are asked to do so. It is intimated that such plans have been discussed and that it is only together on the minor points that the meeting of Obregon and Scott is to be held here. General Gavira and Consul Garcia discussed the coming of General Obre- gon and Scott today with considerable enthusiasm. "In the first place," Garcia said, "it will bring together the chief military representatives of each country so that a definite compaign may be dis- cussed and outlined against banditry in Mexico. Secondly it will do much toward crystallizing a situation in Mexico which will make for closer co- operation among the military leaders." "While the sending of additional troops into Mexico, following the re- quest of General Carranza for with- drawal of all American forces, does not look like a friendly act, I feel con- fident that the good judgment of Presi- dent Wilson will prevail and that' the punitive expedition will not be turned into an expedition of intervention." CHIHUAHUAI PLOT VNEARTIED EL Paso, April 25.-A plot was un- earthed in the city of Chihuahua on April 18 to kill all Americans and overthrow the Carranza government, according to letters rcei d t Ui af- ternoon. The letters came from Amer- icans and say that the plot was dis- covered in time to prevent any of the details being put into execution. The leaders of the plot were former supporters of Pancho Villa, it is stated, and they used anti-American slogans to inci'te the natives against the Car- ranza officials, holding out that, if the Americans were all killed and the Carranza government overthrown, the American invaders of Mexico would become frightened and leave the coun- try. Several of the leaders of the plot have been executed, the letters assert. This is the second plot discovered there in a brief space of time. A num- ber of arrests having been made in the city on April 16 and five executions have followed, according to messages received in Juarez by General Gavira._ CereE ra ncais, Rehersal Success lress Rhllearsal Staged Last Evening Assures Finished Per. formance "Miquette et Sa Mere," the comedy which the Cercle Francais will pro- auce tomorrow night at the Whitney theater, was given its first dress re- hearsal last night in the auditorium of University hall. Each of the parts was excellently handled. The company as a whole shows remarkable finish and assur- ance, in spite of the fact that the play- ers are dealing with a foreign lan- guage. Miss Adele Crandall, '17, as Miquette, shows herself to be thoroughly ac- quainted with the spirit of the French and their language. Miss Marie Corn- well, '17, as Madame Grandier, mother of Miquette, succeeds in giving a clear- cut and very amusing interpretation of the role, bringing out all of the characteristics of the bourgeois class' which it represents. Manuel del Valle,' '16E, who has the role of Urbain, Mi- quette's scatterbrained lover, and Lloyd Curby, '17L, as the Marquis' de la Tour Mirande, Urbain's uncle, give two very funny parts their full value. Dean John R, Effinger of the liter- ary college, delivered the last of this year's series of Cercle Francai's lec- tures yesterday afternoon in Tappan hall. The lecture, which was given in English, dealt with "Miquette et Sa Mere" and with the work of the men who collaborated in writing it. The seat sale for the play began yesterday at Wahr's at 2:00 o'clock and continued till 5:00 o'clock. The sale wild continue today and tomorrowt during the same hours in the after- noon. Students holding associate mem-l bership tickets in the Cercle Francais may exchange them for 50-cent seats.2 The final dress rehearsal of the play; will be held this afternoon at 2:00 o'cloch at the Whitney theater. t PASS51000 MARK INt BUSRAH CAMPAIGN c NotedLecturer Talks On West L. 1). Kitchell to Present an Illustrat- ed Lecture on Glacier Na- tional Park Laurence D. Kitchell, well known lecturer, will give an illustrated trav elogue on the "Glacier National Park," in Hill auditorium, Thursday evening, April 27, at 8:15 o'clock. Mr. Kitchell spent the summer of 1915 in the Glacier National Park with a band of Blackfoot Indians gather- ing material for this lecture. The moving pictures and hand painted ste- reopticon slides which will be thrown on the screen during his talk were made under his own personal super- vision. His lecture is conceded to be the finest travelogue of the Glacier park ever delivered. Mr. Kitchell will be remembered by many for the excellent talk that he gave last year in Hill auditorium. During the last season, he has deliv- ered over 150 lectures throughout the country. His travelogue, which is to be given under the auspices of the Forestry club, will be free to the public. EXPECT Xi3OOOO Employees of 39 Industrial Corpora- tions in Pittsburg on Strike; Troops Mobilizing Pittsburg, April 25.-More than 100,- 000 persons employed by 39 industrial corporations in the Pittsburg district are now on strike, and barring com- plete surrender on the part of many other large employers of labor, the number of strikers is expected to reach 130,000 within a week. So critical has become the situa- tion, and so fearful are the county au- thorities that they will not be able to cope with the struggle if it should arise, that Adjutant-General Stuart tjlay directed the commanding officer of the 10th and 18th Infantry regi- ments, and a cavalry troop of the na- tional guard to prepare for mobiliza- tion, in the event of their being needed for strike duty. Whether these troops will be called out depends entirely upon Governor Martin Brumbaugh. The order issued by General Stuart today was only for the commanding of- ficers of the troops to prepare for a call for strike duty. At the headuar- ters of the various companies of the 10th Infantry, which are scattered over Washington, Westmoreland and Beaver counties, it was stated today that the order to prepare to mobilize issued by General Stuart was being carried out. The most important development in the big strike today was the announce- ment that 4,000 street car employees were to walk out on May 1, unless their demands made some time ago from the Pittsburg railway, and which have been under consideration for some time, are granted. The men are asking increased wages from 30 to 38 cents an hour. They have not had an increase of pay dur- ing the last nine years. NINE ENTRIES IN AD CONTEST Prizes Amounting to $500 Will Ie Awarded to Winners Nine entries for the third annual Advertising Competition were handed to Prof. F. N. Scott yesterday. A first prize of $300 and a second of $200 will be awarded for the best original exam- ple of advertising copy, drawings for an advertisement, plan of an advertis- ing campaign, or a discussion in essay form of some problem in advertising. The work of the contestants will be judged by some expert advertising man of Detroit, and awards made one month after date of submission. The essays or drawings then become the property of the university and are open to public inspection and use. The donor of the prizes is a prominent business man of the state, who has re- quested that. his name be withheld. Seniors Propose Angell Mtemorial Plan Fund to Commemorate Pres.-E- eritus Angell; Deans Cooley and Bates Approve Idea Coming as a distinct surprise to the campus, the proposed James Burrill Angell Senior Memorial fund yester- day formed the chief topic of discus- sion for the student body. The ques- tion did not contine its interests to the members of the classes graduating in June, however, as many of the ju- niors and underclassmen were among the participants in a discussion of a plan which, if passed, will affect not only they themselves, but all classes graduating in the future. A canvass of campus opinion, both faculty and student, will probably re- sult, and this was foreseen yester- day when statements were made by Dean M. E. Cooley, of the en- gineering college, Dean H. M. Bates, of the Law School, and J. S. Leonard, '16L. "The idea of a combined senior me- morial fund offers many possibilities, it seems to me," said Dean Cooley. "I believe that the idea at graduation should be Alma Mater instead of de- partment. What is needed now is concrete expression of the idea. Per- haps a good way to get it would be to offer prizes, some portion of this year's fund to be used for that pur- pose." Dean Bates seemed much interested in the proposition, although he ad- mitted that he had not given it full consideration. fle said that the idea appealed to him. John S. Leonard, '16L, said that the plan would place at the service of the university an elastic fund of no mean proportions which could be used to retain professors in the university, to make certain improvements, and to benefit its interests in many ways. RECEIVE ANNOUNCEMENT OF GOENMENT EAMS T'ry-ots for South American Special Agens to Be Held in May Annoncement has just been re- ceived by Professor David Friday of the economics department, from the department of commerce at Washing- ton, D. C., that examinations will be held some time in May for those stud- ents who wish to qualify for special agents to South American countries. The exact date upon which the ex- aminations are to be given has not been decided but will be announced later. There are to be four special agents appointed by. the government, the first of which is to investigate the markets of South America for furni- ture, the second to investigate the markets for stationery and office sup- plies, the third for fancy groceries, and the fourth to look over the situa- tion in regard to jewelry and silver- ware. Each of the agents appointed will receive $10 a day salary and all trans- portation expenses. A sum not to exceed $5 per day will be paid for ac- tual subsistence. Application for these examinations should be made direct to the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce at Washington, D. C., and should state the applicant's education and his experi- ence in the subject for which he wishes to qualify. ThEOLOGIAN TO 'SPEAK NEXT SUNDAY AT "Y" MEETING * , * * :t * * * * * Women Workers Have Collected About 40 Per Cent of Total so Far TWO 1} AVS LEFT FOR WORKERS $1079.21 was the total sum contrib- uted to the Busrah fund up to a late hour last night. This amount is $4.21 more than the total subscribed at the corresponding time during last year's campaign and $1069.04 less than that collected during a similar time two years ago. Two days of the four of the duration of the campaign have passed and the sum collected is about 30 per cent of $3650, the total amount which must be raised among the stu- dents of Michigan in order to keep Michigan's alumni medical mission- aries at Busrah, Arabia. Women workers in the campaign have collected about 40 per cent of the total so far secured. The women of the Y. W. C. A. this year promised to collect $1000 out of the total $3650 and they have already secured $409.14. At a dlinner held last night at the Methodist churchefor all the 300cam- paign workers, Dr. Paul W. Harrison, a returned Arabian medical mission- ary, gave a short talk, vividly pic- turing the terrible conditions of hu- man life in Arabia. Ethel Vail, '17, and George McMahon, '16, also gave short talks. Practically the entire committee of 300 were present at the dinner. All campaign committee chairmen will meet this noon at 12:30 o'clock in Newberry hall to receive important information concerning their cam- paign duties. Another dinner will be given this evening at 5:30 at the Methodist church to all workers in the cam- paign.

Five of- fenses were noted yesterday, and al- though no arrests were made, it was deemed wise to give one last notice that this is a punishable offense. All similar offenses of the law prohibiting the playing of ball on the streets will be strictly punished in the future.

Candidates for the soph lit baseball ZEPPELINS BOMBARD Aircraft Drop Six Bombs; Several Persons Injured as Result of Attack London, April 25.-The official com- munication issued tonight concerning the situation in Dublin follows: "At noon yesterday serious disturb- ance broke out in Dublin. A large party of men identified with the Sinn Fein party, mostly armed, occupied Stephen's Green and took possession forcibly of the post office where they cut the telegraph and telephone wires. Houses also were occupied in Ste- phen's Green, Sackeville Abbe Street, and along the quays. Soldiers Control Situation "In the course of the day, soldiers arrived from Curragh, and the situa- tion is now well in hand. So far as is known here, three military officers, four or five soldiers, two loyal volun- teers, and two policemen have been killed and four or five military officers, seven or eight soldiers, and six volunteers wounded. No exact in- formation has been received of< the casualties on the side of the Sinn Fein- ers. "Reports received from Cork, i m- erick, Ennis Tralee, and both ridings of Tipperary show that no disturbance of any kind have occurred in these lo- calities." Augustine Birrell, chief, Secretary for Ireland, announced in the house of Commons today the disturbance in Dublin. He added that troops had been sent to the Irish capital and that the situation was now well in hand. He declared that the rebels were in possession of four or five parts of- the city. Second Riot Rioting broke out aresh after sol- diers from Curragh put down the first rebellion, he said, but these also had been quelled. Hle said at first he un-''F derstood the soldiers had recaptured the Dublin postoffice, which was taken by the rebels in the first outburst, but the interruption of telegraphic com- munication prevented his giving de- tails. He gave assurances that the situation was well in hand. Several arrests had been made in Dublin but he could not give names, he said. Think Germans Are Instigators This morning, a raid by German warships, the first since the bom- bardment of Scarborough and Hartle- pool, on December 16, 1914, was at once connected in the public mind with the outbreak in Dublin. Sir Rod- ger Casement attempted landing on the Irish coast, and last night Zeppel- ins raided. The general opinion was that the Germans planned a triangle campaign of terrorism counting upon first start- ing an uprising in Ireland and then descending upon the coast with eris- ers and Zeppelins. War Planes Raid Dunkirk Following within a few hours a Zep- pelin raid on England, German war planes this morning raided the coast town of Dunkirk dropping six bombs. One woman was killed, and three men. were wounded according to a state- ment from the Paris war office only slight damage was done. EXPECT 150 MEN TO REPORT FOR OFFICERS' DRILL TONIGHT At least 150 men are expected to report at 7:30 o'clock this evening for the drill of the Officers' Corps, to be held on Ferry Field.
