CONSTITUTION MOVED BY WIL-
SON; BRITON NAMED AS FIRST I

TAX EQUALITY CLAUSE;
NOT INCLUDED IN TEXT1
French and Nipponese Amendments
Left for Consideration by
League Itself
(By Associated Press) '
Paris, April 28. - The revised cov-
enant of the League of Nations was
adopted at 5:17 o'clock this afternoon
by the plenary session of the peace
conference without division and with-
out amendment. The covenant had
been moved by President Wilson.
The President said it was not neces-
sary to emphasize the significance of
the great covenant and the hopes en-;
teftained that the conference of the
nations of the world would maintain
justice in their international rela-
tions.]
Representatives to Committee
The President moved that the pow-
a name representatives to form a
c mmittee of nine to prepare plans
for the league and to establish the '
sept of it. Sir Eric Drummond of
Gveat Britain has been named as the7
first secretary-general of the league,'
the President announced. Regarding]
the composition of the pxecutive coun-_
cil he said Belgium, Brazil, Greece and]
Spain, in addition to the five great]
powers, would be represented on the
council until a permanent choice had'
been made.]
Japanese Amendment
Baron lakino, head of the Japanese]
delegation, who spoke after Presidenta
Wilson, moyed the Japanese amend-
ment on racial equality. Hesaid it'
was a race question with the possi-
bility of becoming acute. The equali-
ty of nations, he asserted, should be a]
fundamental principle of the league.'
Regret of Nipponese'
The Japanese statesman added that]
he felt it his duty to voice the regret]
of the Japanese delegation over the
failure of the League of Nations com-
mittee to do justice to the Japanese]
demand, which was based on a deep-'
rooted national conviction. Baron
Makino announced that the effort
would be continued to have the racial]
equality principle adopted as a part
of the covenant.
TLatiAmerian View
Chairman Acevedo of the Uruagalan
delegation said he saw in the league
a great aid to the realization of Latin-
American industrial and commercialj
prosperity..
Leon Bourgeois, former premier,
spoke for France. He said that the]
French amendments to the league, in-
cluding a demand for an international"
army and police force and the limita-
tion and verification of armaments of
all nations, had not been adopted.]
France, however, would sign the pact,
he declared.
Amendments Withdrawn'
The Japanese and French amend-
ments were withdrawn and it is un-
derstood that they have been left for
decision by the League of Nations it-
self. The text of the labor principles
for insertion in the treaty was adopted
and the conference adjoined without
considering responsibilities.
M. Clemenceau announced the with-
drawal of the amendments and Presi-
dent Wilson's proposal that the cov-
enant be adopted was carried. There
was, not more than a moment's pause,
in the honor of the league of nations
creation. When the decision was tak-
en President Wilson was surrounded
by delegates and friends who congrat-
ulated him on the constitution of the
league which he had steered past many
quicksands.

"LITTLE GRANDMOTHER"
RUSSIAN REGIME VICTIM
MME. BRESHKOVSRY SPENT HER
LIFE FIGHTING CGAR'S
TYRANNY
Mme. Catherine Breshkovsky, who
speaks tonight at 8 o'clock in Hill
auditorium upon the subject, "Rhe-
claiming Russia," is 75 years old. She
was born in 1844 on an estate in the
district of Vitebsk in Little Russia.
Her father was the son of a Polish
aristocrat, her mother came of a no-
ble family of Great Russia.
Impressed by Injustice
From her earliest years, Catherine
Breshkovsky had been impressed by
the contrast of living conditions ex-
isting between her father's serfs and
that of her own family. -
Throughout her girlhood she was
constantly thinking of ways in which
the evils about her might be remedied.
At the age of 25 years she married a
young nobleman of Liberal tendencies.
Her husband was in sympathy with the
revolutionary movement in Russia but
was not prepared, as was she, to make
great personal sacrifices in the way of
.the cause.,
Hated Autocracy
The longer Mme. Breshkovsky
studied the problem, the more she be-
came convinced that autocracy must
be overthrown if the suffering peas-
antry weret to be relieved. §e did not
quail in the knowledge of the inev-
itable results which would follow an
open profession of her beliefs. She con-
sequently became an active agitator
against the Russian political system.
After a few years of campaign work
Mme. Breshkovsky was apprehended
and imprisoned. She served two years
of solitary confinement under the most
revolting conditions before her trial
was heard.
Sentenced to Mines
She was the first woman to be sen-
tenced to the mines as a hard labor,
convict. She was given a five year,
term, the same punishment as that
meted out to a murderer.
After serving her term, she return-
ed from Siberia and immediately set
about organizing once more disguised

DETROIT PAPER GIVES FALSE
IMPRESSION OF DR. ANGELL'S
ATTITUDE
HOLDS ATHLETIC COACH
MAY PERFORM MISSION
Would Have Head of Athletics Prove
Real Element for Good Among
Students
(Herbert R. Slusser)
"The Michigan Daily: -
"No truth whatever in the report
concerning Mr. Yost, nor in my alleg-
ed intention to attempt to prevent in-
tercollegiate athletics. My views on
athletics are in part contained in pa-
per read before New York meeting of
National Intercollegiate Athletic asso-
ciation.
"J. R. ANGELL."
The preceding telegram was receiv-
ed by The Daily Monday afternoon
from Dr. James Rowland Angell, f
the University of Chicago. The mess-
age is a direct denial of a report pub-
lished in a Detroit paper to the effect
that, if Dr. Angell should accept the
presidency of the University of Michi-
gan, he would demand Michigan's
withdrawal from intercollegiate ath-
letics. The report, the falsity of
which is established by Dr. Angell's
telegram, caused much excitement on
the campus and in educational and
athletic circles throughout the coun-
try.
Follows Regents' Session
Following the all day session of the
regents Friday, during which they fail-
ed to come to a final decision regard-
ing the conditions to Dr. Angell's ac-
ceptance of the presidency of the Uni-
versity, a Detroit paper presented as
the bone of contention Dr. Angell's
"alleged intention to attempt to pre-
vent intercollegiate athletics. The
Sunday edition of the paper went
farther, raising the questions, "How
far would he go? Would he dismiss
Coach Yost?"
In {his own words, Dr. Angell de-
nes any intent either to dismiss Mr.
Yost or to abolish intercollegiate ath-
letics. He refers to his views on ath-
letics as expressed in a paper read be-
fore the annual convention of the
National Collegiate Athletic associa-
tion held Dec. 27, 1918, in New York.
In that speech Dr. Angell pleads for a
different and higher conceptio of the
duties of the athletic coach, and for
a less w'arped conception of the rela-
tion of sports to the college. Dr. An-
gell's conception of the head of the
athletic department is given in the
following extract from his paper:
Gives Opinion of Duties
"If, then, physical education in the
largest sense is an intrinsic part pf
the work of the college, why should
there longer be hesitation in recogn'iz-
ing that fact and accepting the full
responsibility which goes with it? Why
should there not be professorships of
physical education, presided over, as is
already the case in certain highly rep-
utable institutions, by men of profes-
sional rank especially trained for the
work? It is an ignorant observer who
does not know that the successful
coach or athletic director exercises a
far greater moral influence over the
average college men than any but the
most exceptional preacher can do.
Moreover, it is an influence which the
