United States Army Authorities Play
Large Part in Discovering
Villistas' Plans
(By Associated Press).
El Paso, Tex., April 7-A widespread
revolutionary plot fostered by Villa
agents in the United States to over-
throw the' government in Mexico is
being igvestigated by the grand jury
here, it became known today.
Three persons are in jail in this
country, and a fourth was arrested by,
Mexican federal authorities at Mexi-
cali, Lower California, while attempt-
ing to smiuggle ammunition to the
revolutionists, it was stated.,
Neutrality Laws Violated
the three arrested in this country,
it was said, are accused of violating
the neutrality laws by conspiring to
foster a revolution against' a govern-
ment recognized by the United States.
According to the information ob-
tained here, the plot became known
after United States army authorities
in the bigdend district had arrested
Andrew H. Dillegas, a Mexican boy,
Concetition Tereg, and Francisco Gil-
li when they attempted to cross into
Mexico. Military authorities seized
from the pair much correspondence
from Villa agents in this country, ad-
dressed to Villa.
Claim Plot Revealed1
Federal authorities say te corre-
spondence revealed a plot of Villistas
and other revolutionists to cross into
*Lower California, seize that state and
the arms and ammunitions available
there, and then attack the state of
Sonora and Sinaloa, Mexico, while
Villa was to open a revolutionary cam-
paign in Chihualhuan.
Political Leaders Connected
Several political leaders in Sonora
also were linked with the movement,,
according to the correspondent.
Lamberto Chadez, a colonel in Vil-
la's army, was arrested at Los Angeles
through information contained in the
correspondence, and he is said to have
confessed.
(By M. K. E.)
When Shakespeare (it was he,
wasn't it,) made the remark that "the
play's the thing, he must have been
on his way home from a musical
comedy, -or its 17th century equiva-
lent. At any rate, "George Did It" in
its third night might well have serv-
ed as the occasion for hi words.
Here, however, we'll leave William
and hitch up with George.
Michigan's 1920 opera is, indeed, "a
bit of the all right." In acting, music,
scenic effects, and construction it is
every bit the equal of any one of its
three predecessors.

WESTERN RESERVE
RAISES SALARIES
(By Associated Press)
Cleveland, April 7. - Trustees of
Western Reserve university today vot-
ed to increase the salary of the fac-
ulty 40 per cent effective with the be-
,inning of the new term.
This is in addition of an increase of
25 per cent granted last June. A slight
increase of the tuition fee i certain
departments was- voted to meet in-
creased expenditures.
FACULTY MEMBERS TO ATTEND
CONVENTION IN ST. LOUIS
Prof. S. L. Bigelow, Prof. H. H. Wil-
lard and possibly Prof. F. E. Martell,
of the faculty in the chemistry depart-
ment, expect to be in St. Louis next
week at the spring convention of the
tmerican Chemical society.
Professor Willard, who is chair-
'man of the University of Michigan
Section of the American Chemical so-
iety, will give two papers discuss-
ing work done by candidates for Ph.D.
-legrees in collaboration with him;
'ne on "The Separation and Determ-
nation of Cobalt,"-from the doctor's
thesis of Dorothy Hall, '18, Ch.E., the
ther on "A. Revision of the Atomic
Weight of Antimony," from the doc-
tor's thesis of Mr. R. K. McAlpine.
Hart, Al Schirmer, and Tom Under-
wood, constitute a se-.tet trom which
it is hard to choose the foremost, Kemp
Keena and Tom Underwood have ex-
cellent voices as well as that ease of
manner so seldom to be found in ama-.
teurs. Knight Mirrielees "puts across"
his number by force of the Mirrielees'
personality which has come to stamp
him as a sort of campus Al Jolson.
Tom Hart leaves nothing to be desired
in his interpretation of the two char-
acter roles..
The leading feminine parts are well
handled by Paul Wilson and Harold
Lauver, and the very unusual dancing
of the latter in "The Girl Who Regis-
ters Love" number stamping him as a
female impersonator par excellence.
Al Schirmer's good acting made up for
a rather deficient display of bis vocal
qualities.
Ringer and Lamport Star
By far the most graceful bit of
dancing in the opera was the harle-
quin number by Phil Ringer and
"Brute" Lamport-a bit of entertain-
ment almost professional in character.
The Oriental number won deserving
applause through the well directed ef-
forts of "Sandy" Sanborn and his
three cohorts.
Paul Eaton, Ted Larsen and George
Duffield are a trio meriting praise for
able handling of minor parts.
In music "George Did It" ranks
with the most tuneful of Michigan's
operas. "The Light in Your Eyes,"
sung by Kemp Keena and Paul Wilson
carried the motif which was introduc-
ed throughout the score.

Graduate Dean Urges Students to
Wage Campaign for Candidate
"We are depending on evety Hoover
advocate to go home and in some way
bring the Hoover movement before
their own people." This statement
made by Dean Alfred H. Lloyd, of the
Graduate school, president of the
Make-Hoover-President club, sound-
ed the keynote of the meeting of that
club held Wednesday night in the.
Union.
. "The ground swell all over the
country in favor of Hoover is caused
by the conviction that he is a true
American," stated Prof. M. P. Tilley,
of the English department. "The qual-
ities of absolute independence and
unassuming personality have brought
him to the fore." -
It was further poinlted out that this
is the only Hoover club in the state,
although mbvements have been start-
ed in several other cities. Publicity
has been prepared by the committee.
and this along with the other material
can be secured at Foster's Art store
,today from 4 to 6 o'clock.
Expensive to Be Unmarried in France
Bachelors and spinsters in France
are now compelled to pay a 10 per
cent tax to the French government.
Dr. A. J. Barnouw of the Univer-
sity of Leyden, addressed a large au-
dience yesterday in the Natural Sci-
ence auditorium. His subject was
changed from that of "Social Condi-
tions in Holland," which had been
announced, to "The Political Situation
in Holland."
The lecture included a summary
of the political conditions and parties,
the customs of the people, and educa-
tion in Holland. In speaking 'of the
political parties Dr. Barnouw said, "In
Holland there are three parties, name-
ly the Catholic, the Liberal, and the
Socialistic. The parties are divided
religiously, the Catholics believing
that the others are Pagans."'
"The children of Holland are over-
educated," said Dr. Barnouw. "They
are compelled to take English, French
and German, besides their own lang-
uage in the public schools. This in-
terferes with the home life, since
much of the children's time is spent
in studying."
Dr. Barnouw also spoke of the press
in his country as being very conserva-
tive.. Some of the newspapers do not
even have headlines. All such news
as divorces and marriages, which is
given so much publicity in American
periodicals, is completely avoided in
the Dutch newspapers.
COMMERCE CLUB
HOLDS INITIATION
An initiation smoker was given last
night in the Michigan Union by mem-
bers of the Commerce club. Music
was furnished by a "jazz" orchestra.
Prof. I. Leo Sharfman of the Eco-
nomics department spoke to those in
the club who will enter business at
the end of the. present school year,
saying, "Do not let yourselves be
sucked in that whirlpool of money-
making which is so often found at the
present time, but," he continued, "re-
tain some of the vision and' outlook
which you obtained here in college."
Those initiated into the organization
were: Ralph A. Hammer, '21, Seward
L. Horner, '21, Harold A. Jones, '21,
Edward S. Kingsford, '21, Frank H.

no way effect the light in the base-
ment of the Library," was the state-
ment of Mr. H. 0. Whittemore of the

amount of light will be the same as at
