Albany, Jan. 22.---There were tense
moments today at the trial of the five
suspended Socialist assemblymen when
it seemed that defendants and coun-
sel would "walk out"s on the assem-
bly judiciary committee.
Twice counsel for the defendants
threatened to quit the,,hearing during
the course of arguments on the admiss-
ability of evidence marked by person-
al exchanges between Morris Hill-
quit, chief defense counsel, and mem-
bers of the committee.
Despite objection of the Socialist
forces, committee counsel finally ob-
tained adjournment until next Tues-
day Ito-review evidence introduced to-
day. Seven witnesses were called,
includifng one agent of the department
of justice working for the joint leg-
islative committee investigating rad-
ical activities in this state, and com-
mittee counsel succeeded in introduc-

records in the case of Scott Nearing

Prof. David Friday of the economics
department, when cjuestioned as to
his attitude on the expulsion of the
five socialists from the New York leg-
islature, one of whom was Charles
Evans Hughes, former governor of
New York and justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, stated that
their actions are absolutely: assinine
and that he has no sympathy with
them. Professor Friday goes on to
say:
"I have been., opposed to that sort
of autocracy exercised by the mem-
bers of the New York legislature ever
since I arrived at the years of discre-
tion. .
"The very fact' that they are refus-
ing admittance to a delegation head-
ed by a former governor of the state
and a former justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, shows
that the majority realize the weakness
of their position."

Customs and. music of Pekin, South
American dances, prohibition laws of
the Sahara, and campus bolshevism
formed a few of the many unique sub-
jects offered at the All-Nation Jam-
boree given last night in Hill auditor-
ium. Music from many lands made up
a large part of the program, while
dancing and comic sketches completed
the bill.-
Portray Chinese Life
The entertainment was opened byl
"La Sorella" and "Hindu Rose" played
by the Girls' Glee club. "On the Road
to Pekin," an interesting little sketch
presented by the Chinese women of the
Univorsity, provided Chinese music
and a glimpse into the quaint street
life of Pekin. ^ ,
"The Desert Moon,",an oriental song
composed by K. Horillchi, '21E, was
sung by Rita Ireman, '21, who also
offered 'a dane number, "Sahara," to-
gether with J. M. Powers. The Amer-
icanized Chinaman's view of the Unit-
ed States was humorously set forth in
"Westernizing the East," a skit pre-
sented by S. Katsuizumi, Grad., and
S. Yonemoto, '21P.
Does Philippine Dance
"La Carinosa," a graceful Philippine
dance was given by R. Capishome,
'20L, and Yuki Asowa, 120. Jazz was
offered in plenty by Phil Diamond's
nine-piece orchestra and a novelty was
furnished by the 16 striking students
who, behind bushy beards, 'paraded
across the stage bearing signs of the
14 points for which they were striking.
The latter half of the program con-
sisted of "bos Gauchos," a song nuM-
ber, "The Joys of Love," danced by;
MIle. Kean'ette IXruszka, mandolin se-
lections by A. E. Elkind, 19, and a
travesty on prohibition entitled "His

Mischa Levitski, the 22 year old
pianist who'plays at 8 o'clock thh
evening in Hill auditorium in the extra
concert series, is an American, al-
though he did happen to be born in a
town near Kieff in southern Russia.
His father had previously resided in
America and had become fully natural'
ized before returning to Russia.
His musical education began at six
when he was given a small violin,
for there was no piano in the home. A
friend of the family uAdertook to give
him piano lessons when he was seven
years old in secret. Soon afterward
the family again moved to America
where Levitski began his real study of
the piano under Sigismund Stojowski;
Later he studied with Ernest Dohnanyi
in Berlin and when still a boy in his
teens he came back to America where
he was hailed not as a prodigy but
,as a genius. His successes since then
have but deepened that impression.
The program will consist of 12 num-,
hers including the difficult Beethoven
sonata appassionata.

"Without the inevitable 'third party,'
the modern drama is as naught!" de-
clared Stephen Leacock a few nights
ago in Hill auditorium.
And ready to back his statement to

inehtal young lady who will appear at
the Whitney theater Wednesday night

ly this "third party"-made to order-

If Amy had not crammed her head

was possible for her mother to have
friends without becoming unconven-

The dispatch reported that the rev-
olutionary government at Nankipg,
South China, had iWdicahed readiness
to establish peaceful relations with
North China and is about to declare
cancellation of its independence and
unite with the Peking government.
The division between North and,
So.ith China, while an outgrowth of
the political difference sogn after thel
creation of the . republic by the reyo,
lution of 1911, assumed a mgost defi-
nite form in May, 1918, Wheq the

Throughout 1918 desultory parti.g
occurred between the Nortb and

In reporting the clash to the war de-

commanding the American eipedition
in Siberia, said the Russians in an
armoured car made an unprovoked
attack -on the Americans who were' in
a similar car.
Americans Capture Car
The Russian attack was repulsed
and the Americans then captured the
car and its occupants. General Graves
said he believes the incident could be;

Tegarding admission to basketball
games, Athletic Director P. G. Bar-
telnie naltes the following state-
ment
"After it was announced that a or-
tame number would be admitted to
basketball games on tickets which
wed e received in exchange for cou-
pons, it seems -that some who held
tickets were turned away, and that
many experienced difliculty in secur-
ing admission to the Indiana game of
last $aturday,

' "The Athletic association regrets
this and assures holders of tickets for
the balance of the Conference games
that this will not re-occur. Janitors of
the Uniyersity, in entire good faith
but contrary to any understanding
which has previously existed, took
charge of the door and rigidly en-
forced a plan of their own of admit-
ting only in single file.
1in the games which follow, not only
will those holding tickets be admit-
te4 at the regular entrance at the
southwest end of the gymnasium but
the entrance at the northwest end will
be open for admission as well as exit.
The remaining five games will com-
mence at 7:30 and the two doors will
be open at 7.
"The Michigan Union has d
more than any other one influ
to put the University of Michiga

Hutchins, the first speaker at
membership dinner held last nigh
the assembly hall of the Union. "0
'universities are now following M

Ican University Union in Pa
France, .took as its ideals many
those of Michigan and is now e
paigning for a huge endowment f
to perpetuate its work among A
ican students in Europe."
Says Union Is Students' Hom
President Hutchins went on to
that the Union is the home of the
dents and that it should be tre
as such by the members. The ,
dents, he said, need more than
classroom work and the Union fu
