The third event, that of the heavyweight teams, went to the yearlings after a hard tussle lasting the full' 20 minutes. At the end of that time the fresh had the rope 24 feet nearer their bank. At 9:30 o'clock this morning the other two spring contests will be held on South Ferry field, the obstacle re- lay races being the first event on the program. Three different races will be run and 96 men will be used by the underclasses in these contests. Immediately following the relays, the pushball contest will start. The new rules, among which is one providing for the big spherical bag to start and remain off the ground during the four quarters of the contest, will be in force. Other provisions for safety have also been made. The freshmen will have to "come back" today as they lost two tug-of- (Continued on Page Six) MAY GARGOYLE OUT YESTERDAY Leading Editorial of "Pirate Number" Terms Secret Society Farcical Replete with wit and humor, the "Pirate Number" of the Gargoyle ap- peared at noon upon the campus yes- terday. Primarily the shafts of wit were directed at the secret societies of Michigan, but other institutions as well come in for their share of the barbed thrusts. "The farcical feature of Michigan's life," says the leading editorial, en- titled "Michigan's Bogey," "is the se- cret society bogey. Freshmen whisper about them, sophomores pine for them, juniors work for them, and smlors sneer at them. The changing view- point comes from being behind the scenes. If the campus as a whole knew the character of these 'honor societies', men would be condoled in- stead of being congratulated on being elected to them. "Primarily, there are too many se- cret societies at Michigan. A pin is no longer an honor but a decoration. Capable men belong to three, four, and five, with the result that .no single so- ciety benefits by their membership; they have forgotten their fundamen- tal purpose--and the present system of election is wholly and absolutely wrong." Postponed Band Concert Next Week The band concert which was to have been held last night was postponed, due to the fact that several members wished to hear McCormack. A con- cert will most probably be given next week.' MWCOMACK SCORES BIG S9UCSS AT FESTITAL All Siace in Auditorium filled; Last Two Concerts =n series to Be Given Today Every available place in Hill au- ditcrium was taken last evening when John McCormack, the most popular singer in this country, appeared as so- loist with the Chicago Symphony Or- chestra. This gifted singer presented two well known arias and a group of songs, and received the greatest dva- tion which has been given any festi- val artist thus far. He possesses a beautiful clear, tenor voice, unique in its fullness and pleasing quality. Mr. McCormacks enunciation was pr-- feet, and all but one of his renditions were in English. During the program Mr. McCormack responded to four encores, which in- cluded "Mother Machree," "I Hear You Calling Me" and "Oh Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms." All of the songs were sung with great depth of reeling and in an artistic manner. The orchestral numbers were also pleasing. The opening number was Beethoven's Ovrture, "Fidelio," and was bright and brilliant in character. The Suite. Op. 10, by Dohmanyi, was beautifvily played, the scherzo move- ment being especially impressive. The closing number was the love sen from "F'eursnot," by Strauss. At the afternoon concert yesterday, about 400 school children, assisted by several soloists and the Chicago Sym- phony orchestra, presented Pierne's "Children at Bethlehem." This work was preceded by "Silent Night," which was very effectively sung by the chil- dren. The principle solo part was taken by Miss Mabel Garrison, who made such a favorable impression at the Thursday evening concert. The (Continued on Page Six) ATTEMPT TO HAZE COUNCILMAN Sophs Take W. 1. Shafer for Yearling WhenI le Wears Fresh Cap By means of a clever, though not very well applauded ruse, Wilson M. Shafer, '16, a member of the student4 council, was enabled to "put one over" on a gathering of sophomores last night. Shortly after 11:00 o'clock the sophomores were passing Huston's when the councilman appeared wear- ing a fresh cap. He was immediately seized by the laughing mob who called for a dance, a song and a high school yell. Shafer suddenly turned upon his captors, informing them that he was, a senior and demanded that they dis- perse at once, threatening to divulge their names if he was not obeyed. He was greeted with laughter, and the second year men, who evidently disgusted at the trick put upon them, proceeded to draw him into a lengthyr and rather heated argument. Hazing, said the councilman, had been super- ceded by the various contests, and was moreover forbidden by academic law. After some rather pertinent ques- tions put to him by the sophomores, they allowed him to depart and shortly after dispersed. Some of the alleged hazing had been indulged in during the early part of the evening, but no mishaps occurred, both hazers and their captives being in high good hu- mor, and all evidently enjoying the sport. LAST UNION DANCE COMES TONIGHT IN BARBOUR GYM The last Union dance to be held in Barbour gymnasium takes place to- night. This will also be the last Union dance until the banquet hall has been moved. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Butler will be the chaperons for tonight's oc- casion. Dancing will last from 8:20 o'clock to 11:30 o'clock. Because of the unsettled conditions at the clubhouse, the Cotton Ball, which was advertised for May 29, has been indefinitely postponed. TO' GIVE CREDIT FOR ATTENDANCE ATMILITARY CAMP REGENTS GRANT ENGINEERING FACULTY'S PETITION FOR THIS SUMMER ADOPT $1,900,000 BUDGET Name June 2S Date of Angelllemori- al Service; Accept $15,000 in Gifts National preparedness was fitfully recognized at the regents' meeting held here yesterday, when the board, by a unanimous vote, agreed to give two and three hours' credit to those stu- dents enrolled in the engineering col- lege who attended any of the govern- ment military camps for a period of five weeks this summer and present- ed a certificate to that effect to the fac- ulty of the engineering college. Michigan 'is the second university in the country to have taken this1 step, Dartmouth having decided to give her students three hours' credit for summer military work several months ago. A resolution making the books and pamphlets of the university library available for use throughout the state by high school students and other civic organizations interested in de- bating and kindred subjects, was re- ferred to the library committee for action, and it is considered likely that favorable action in the matter will be taken in the near future. The annualsbudget, approximating $1,900,000, was apportioned by the board, this sum being an increase of1 approximately $100,000 over the bud-l get of the university last year. The board ratified the action of the; university senate in naming June 281 as the date forthe Angell memorial services, at the same time extending a vote of thanks to the heir of the late president-emeritus for a gift ofE 500 books on international law andI kindred subjects which were present-1 ed. to the university.t A resolution was passed by the board1 to the effect that the president's house1 on the campus "shall be maintained for the purpose for which it was built." It is not considered likely that Pres.I Harry B. Hutchins will move into the' building and it is expected that it will remain vacant until a successor tot President Hutchins shall have beenf appointed at some time in the future.e A gift of $10,000. from the late Mrs. Elia Walker, of Chicago, was accept- ed by the regents for the purpose of founding two scholarships in memory1 of John Pitt Marsh and Fannie Ran-E som Marsh. An anonymous gift of $5,006 was also accepted for the pur- pose of establishing a loan fund to be1 administered under the direction of' the president of the university. . By a special resolution, C. A. Lud- wig was appointed to the Emma J. Cole fellowship in botany for the year 1916-1917. The board voted to accept the of- fer of the Liberty Motor Car company, of Detroit, for the maintenance of two University 6f Michigan students at the Plattsburg military camp this summer, and the president was ap- pointed to fill the two positions from the student body. A request for the use of Hill audi-+ torium for a lecture on prohibition by ex Governor Sulzer, of New York, was denied by the board because of the policy of the university that no lec- (Continued on Page Six) ENI, FUNSTON SAYS HE CAN HANDLE SITUATION RAIDS BY NEW BANDIT LEADERS COMPLICATEIEXICgN SITUATION; AMERICAN EXPEOITION HALTED ExprI0ee ifigtt Apprehension That Clash Result, But Has Ade- quate Forlce Washington, May 19.-Declaring that he was able to handle the situa- tion should it grow serious, General Frederick Funston mrormed the war department today that ill feeling has developed between the Americans and Mexicans at Douglas, Arizona, result- ing from the action local authorities have taken regarding cattle illegally imported across the line from the Mexican side.- General Funston expressed appre- hension that a clash might result but said that the force of regulars was adjusted to cope with any further trouble. No confirmation had been received at the war department at a late hour tonight of press reports from El Paso that the special board which has been investigating the death of Sergeant Harry Furman of the machine gun company of the 23rd Infantry has found that the soldier had been killed on the American side and his body dragged across the border. (Continued on Page Six) EXHIBIT ENDSFTER DRAWING 20000 PEOPLE Engineering Dsplay Closes After a Successful Final . Day -W [ With a total estimated attendance oft more than 20000 visitors, the third Engineering Exhibit came to a closet last night after scoring a complete success in every department. The at-t tendtance exceeds that of year before' last by about 3,000. From all the visitors, from lits, laws, medics and pharmics, faculty and visitors at large the engineers receiv- ed enthusiastic expressions of com- mendation. The student exhibitors have well succeeded in accomplishing the purpose of the exhibit, which is best stated by quoting from the first page of the souvenir program, a copy of which was given to each visitor. Many requests were received by the men in charge of the exhibit to have1 it open on Saturday. This request could not be granted, however, since the exhibitors will have to put thet exhibit rooms into condition for class- es on Monday morning., The feature of the exhibit yesterday was the personally conducted tour1 which Dean Cooley took about the ex- hibit. A freshman guide was detailed1 especially for the purpose. He found upon questioning that the dean was willing to be informed upon most of the points of the exhibit, and that he was an eager seeker after information upon technical matters. With such an opportunity the guide grew so elated that he needed but the slightest suggestion to explain the most mysterious exhibit. For instance, it needed but the slightest questioning attitude on the dean's part as to why a water-turbine wheel goes around to have the enthusiastic guide enter upon an explanation of the phenomena. Juniors Elect Student Councilmen Verne E. Burnett was elected stu- dent councilman at a meeting of the junior lit class yesterday. Ralph M. Carson will continue to serve until next February. Junior medics chose H. L. Keim as their representative to I the council. I * ** ** * * * * * * * * * * * Nei icRules in Pusiball Contest * * ___ _* * Rule 4.

PLACIDE VILLENEZA, EX-VILIA OUTLAW, AN) JOSE CLAVEZ JOIN FORCES STEAL HORSES AND PROVISIONS Rosalio Hernandez, Another Leader, Now 165 Miles Below Border 'With 300 Armed Followers El Paso, May 19.-Another raid over the boundary line into Texas and the possibility of sudden trouble of a simi- lar nature in the future have halted the expeditions of American forces in- to Mexico south of the Big Bend coun- try of Texas. Placide Villeneza, a Villa bandit re- ported killed in a fight with troops of Dominguez near Ojinaga several weeks ago, has joined forces with Jose Clavez, another bandit leader; and they are stealing the horses on both sides of the river. The first theft was made from the ranch of Buck Poole, where they took ten head of horses near Praesidio, Texas. News reached here today that they also raided the ranch of Felipe Caldez, 60 miles from Praesidio, tak- ing a number of horses and supplies. It is generallythought they are get- ting new mounts for the purpose of committing raids into Texas towns. This same band came from the vicin- ity of Lajitas, and it is said some of the members were in the band which raided Glenn Springs. The total force is about 300 to 500 men. As a result of these new raids pur- suit of Mexican bandits who raided Glenn Springs two weeks ago -to- night is to be given up and the Ameri- can government for the present will content itself with a thorough polic- ing of the American country in the Big Bend' In additioi to the cavalry now pur- suing the bandits in Mexico, whose mission was declared ended when it overtook the bandits and rescued Jesse Deemer sand his two employees, another regiment is to be sent there from General Pershing's command now in western Chihuahua. The Sixth Cavalry came out of Mex- ico today, arriving at Columbus and going into camp there. As soon as they rest up from their long march from the vicinity of Namiquipa, the troopers will be sent to Marathon for distribution in the Big Bend. = In the event that General Pershing needs any more men with him in Mexico, the regiments of the New Mexico nation- al guard will be sent in. It became known today that the American forces in Mexico south of the Big Bend country have been turn- ed about and started on their way back to Texas. They penetrated over 100 miles into Mexico and encountered but one force of bandits, and these es- caped after abandoning Deemer and his men. The fact that additional cavalry is not available to extend the line of communication and that motor trucks are not, available in sufficient num- bers to keep supplies going to the troops is considered responsible for the abandonment of the expedition. Rosalio Hernandez with 300 armed followers is at Rancho de Eucimillas, near Laguna de Joco, 165 miles south of the border and 40 miles south of where the American expedition artil- lery camped Thursday. According to reports, Hernandez had 500 men al- together under his command with him. Hernandez is said to be a political freeman, not subjecting himself or his followers to the dictums of either Carranza or Villa.
