Senate
(By Associated Press)
Washington, May 20-President Wil-
son's cabled message outlining legis-
lation for the extra session of the new
Congress was red separately in the
Senate and House today by clerks,
and arrangements were made by con-
gressional leaders for immediate con-
sideration of the vast legislative pro-
gram with the equal suffrage regula-
tion to come up tomorrow in the
House.
keeommends Return of Utilities
Major recommendations of the Pres-
ident were for early return to private
ownership of railroads, telegraph and
telephone systems, for repeal of war
time prohibition in so far as it ap-
plies to beer and wines, for women
suffrage, retaliatory tariffs, protection
of the dyestuff industry, and labor and
employment measures. The President
announced his intention to turn back
the railroads at the end of the calen-
dar year.
Repeal of Dry Law Opposed
Republican leaders met the Presi-
dent's proposals for early return of
piblic utilities by statements that such
legislation already was planned. As
to the prohibition recommendation
hepublican 'and Democratic
dr" leaders joined in vigiorous state-
ments dissenting from the President's:
suggestions and predicting that no
beer and wine repeal would be passed.'
inion° in both Senate and House as
acrtained by .leaders was general
that the ban on beer and wine would
not be lifted;
Y Presentation of the President's mes-
sage was the principle business of too
day's session. Neither the Senate nor
house were in session much more than
hu hour, the former adjourning until
ne4t Friday and the house until to-
uorrow. Before the President's mes-
sage was read the house arranged to
alke up the woman suffrage resolu-
ton tomorrow. Its adoption before
adjourliment is planned. Senate lead-.
era have promised prompt action in

ED1IOR TO TALK
4ON~ OURNLISM
Malcolm W. Bingay to Lecture
"The Noblesse Oblige of
Journalism"
01
PROF. FRED NEWTON SCOTT
WILL INTRODUCE SPEAKER
"The Noblesse Oblige, of Journal-
ism" will be the subject of the lec-
ture which Malcolm W. Biugay, edi-
tor of the Detroit News, will deliver
at 4 o'clock this afternoon in room 208
Tappan hall.
The speaker will touch upon the ac-
tivities of college men and women in
professional journalism. On this sub-
ject Mr. Bingay is considered unusu-
ally well fitted to talk, inasmuch as
he isI the employer of a number of
graduates of the University.
Pi Delta Epsilon and Sigma Delta
Chi, the two fraternities under whose
auspices the lecture is to be given,
consider themselves fortunate in be-
lug able to bring Mr. Bingay to Ann
Arbor. As managing editor of the'
Detroit News he holds an important
position in middle western journalism,
and his talk promises to hold much
of interest to all interested in any
phase of journalism.
Prof. Fred Newton Scott of the
rhetorio department will introduce the
speaker. The lecture is open to the
public and it is hoped that a large
audience will hear Mr. Bingay.
Lantern Night
Again Revived
Lantern Night, an old Michigan
tradition among women, is to be re-
vived on Field day, May 26. On that
evening women of the campus and
city will gather on Palmer field, ta4-
ing with them picnic lunches. There
will be bonfires to roast "wienies"
and marshmallows, and coffee will be
served by the Women's league.
Later in the evening there will be
May pole dancing, the Martha Cook
orchestra furnishing music. Class
songs, new and old, are to be sung
by the classes individually and Mich-
igan songs by everyone.
Japanese lanterns will be carried
by the senior women, who will form
the "M" and then march in formation
to meet the junior women, each of
whom will carry a flower-bound hoop.
Seniors will give their lanterns to the
juniors and the juniors will, in turn,
give their hoops to the sophomores.
The cermeony is even more beauti-
ful than would be imagined and the
whole event is one of the most whole-*
some of Michigan traditions. Sic
years ago the Cottillion was insti-
tuted to replace Lantern Night, but
inasmuch as that is now given in the
fall or winter, it has been decided to
revive this old custom.

Smootness of action marked the
first dress rehearsal for "Green Stock-
ings," the three act play to be pre
sented at 8:15 o'clock Thursday night
at the Whitney theater by the Com-
edy club.
With the cast letter perfect in its
lines, only a few rough spots remain
to be removed in the action of the
play, and these will be subjected to
the smoothing process at the final re-
hearsal today under the direction of
Prof. R. D. T. Hollister of the orator-
ical department.
A "Polite" Comedy
Members of the Girls' Glee club,
which will give a concert in Jackson
Thursday night, attended the perform-
ance last night. If the club be a rep-
resentative public, the play, which has
been characterized by Life as a "pol-
ite" comedy, is destined to be popular
with the audience at the final produc-
tion.
Humorous possibilities in "Green
Stockings" were amply demonstrated
in the unpolished lines of the play,
and the show promises to keep the au-
dience in an uproar of laughter on
Thursday. Gilbert R. Byrne, '19, car-
rying the only distinct comedy role in
the production, has a character por-
trayal particularly appealing to the

Successful
ANNUAL EVENT OF VARSITY
BAND TO BE HELD MAY 97
Another big act has been added to
the six already announced for the
Band Bounce May 27. The Varsity band
will introduce the program which will
consist of the following:
"Michigan in 1931," a skit written
by H. P. Bennett, '21L. A company of
eight people will render this laughable
farce.
"Six Clown Boys," a musical skit in
which the best talent on the campus
has been enlisted.
Impersonations on Program
Archie MacDonald of Spotlight
Vaudeville fame will entertain with a
new selection of his inimitable im-
personations. It will be remembered
that his "take-offs" on a number of
campus celebrities, professors and
otherwise, were one of the features
that made the Spotlight such a suc-
cess.
A whistler entirely new to the ears
of the campus will come next and the
Bounce promoters promise something
from him that "will make everyone sit
up and take notice."
The banjo ukelele will be strummed
by Vernon Foote, '22E, while he re-
calls memories with heart rending dit-
ties.
Gest to Perform Again
A new and better than ever series
of tricks is on schedule from Leslie
P., Gest, '20, magician. His mass of
paraphernalia is now being gathered:
together so that he may startle his
quick-disappearing rabbits and those
in the front row.
A black-face quartette as yet anony-
mous but well-known in campus jazz
circles will close the program with the
latest melodies in every conceivable
key except the wrong one.
Tickets for the affair are now on
sale on the campus and at the book
stores,
HUNS MUST STAND
WORLD WAR DEBT
Paris, May 20.-The answer of the
council of four to the German note re-
garding reparations which will be
handed to the Germans tonight points
out in reply to the German refusal to
accept responsibility for the war that
it is impossible to disassociate re-
sponsibility from reparation.
The reply recalls that the Germans
raised no objection to Secretary Lan-
sing's note of last Nov. 5, in which he
spoke of German aggression.
The council of four also refused
to admit that the German people may
disclaim responsibility of the actions
of the ofrmer German government.
Former Daily Man Back from War
Conrad N. Church, '17, formerly news
,editor of The Michigan Daily, arriv-
ed in Ann Arbor yesterday having re-
ceived his discharge from the ordi-
,ance corps. Church saw six months'
service overseas, being taken prisoner
,shortly before the armistice was
signed.

pathic students will vote at the latter.
All men students are eligible to
vote on the ballots bf their respective
departments. All women are to vote
only on candidates for the Oratorical
association and the Student council
candidates from their own class.
Before receiving a ballot each voter
will be required to sign his name on
a tablet provided for that purpose.
Student councilmen will be in charge
of the booths and at 5 o'clock the
boxes will be taken to the Union
where members of the council not
running for office will count the votes.

"
HILL AUDITORIUM OBTAINED;
BEST FEATURES PROMISED
A complete moving picture show in
Hill auditorium will be given by the
managers of the Ann Arbor theaters
for the benefit of the Cap night par-
ticipants and spectators.
The Student councl accepted this
plan at its meeting Tuesday night be-
lieving that it will be better than
having the different classes demand
admittance at various theaters. In
past years the classes separated im-
mediately after the last of the speech-
es to parade to the theaters. Under
this new arrangement the band will
lead the assemblage to the auditorium,
where the show will begin as soon as
the classes are seated.
Orders for the films have already
been sent in. An up-to-date feature
and a snappy comedy are promised.
Wood for the fire is being secured
with difficulty since most of the local
merchants either sell their boxes or
have donated them to various organi-
zations that use them for sending
supplies and comforts to soldiers and
sufferers.
