Hint Given Regarding Definite
Proposals Which Were

(By Associated Press)
Washington, April 2. - The advis-
ability of a congressional declaration
of peace with Germany, along with
various other questions involved in
the national problem of a peace set-
tlement came to the front of official
discussion here again today as a re-
sult of the notable succession of
White House conferences.
Future Diplomats Confer
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, for-
mer secretary of state and author of
the Republican peace resolution of the
last session of congress; Col. George
Harvey, of New Yo, selected as am-
bassador to Great Britain; Myron T.
xIerrick, of Ohio, understood to be un-
der consideration for ambassador to
France; and Stephane Luazanle, not-
ed 1trench journalist who came to ths
country with former Premier Viviani,
g Ire among those with whom the
President was closeted during the'
day. All .of those who participated
in the conferences declined to say
what definite proposals wer discussed
or to indicate what decision might be
expected.
By inference, the day's developments
were coupled with the visit of Mr. Vi-
viani, who has brought to American
officials a first hand report as to the
present attitude of the European gov-
ernments toward the League of Na-
tions and related subjects.
Might Urge Versailles Treaty
Gossip about the mission of the for-
mer premier persistently has sug-
gested that he proposes to persuade
the administration not to push its,
peace declaration, but rather to con-
sider on what basis it might accept
the treaty of Versailles.
Track Team Plore
Than Determined

(By Staff Correspondent)
Marion, Ia., April 2.-The enthus-
iastic send-off accorded the Michigan
team before leaving for California last'
night was the principle topic of con-
versation for the Wolverines as they
speeded through Illinois and Iowa on
the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul.
"No one except members of the team'
will ever realize the pep the send-off
put into us, and we are more determ-
ined than ever to bring home the bac-
on," said Captain Butler. "Each man
on the squad will have the memory
of that wonderful occasion when com-
peting at Berkeley, and we will all
do our best not to disappoint our
backers at Ann Arbor." ,
Arriving in Chicago at 7 o'clock, the
Lear was met in busses by a railroad
official and taken to the Union de-
pot. After a few hours spent in the
loop, they left *at 10:42 o'clock for
Omaha. There is a special Pullman
car for the men, for whom special
drinking wter has been taken. To-
day's journey took the team throgh
the farming country of Illingis and

For its Irish atmosphere, varied song

will "Top o' th' Mornin' " be remem-

Blue Goose Inn through the unbeliev-
ably graceful fairy dance at the end

ADDRESS WILL BE ON SOCIAL
SERVICE AND DELINQUENCY
With an address, "Social Problems
Illustrated from Courtroom Experi-
ences", by Miss Mary M. Bartelme, as-
sistant to the judge of the juvenile
court of Cook county, Ill., and mu-
sic by the Girls' Glee club and Mr.
William Wheeler, tenor, the next to
the last Union service's program at
7:15 o'clock tonight in Hill auditor-
ium promises to be one of the most
interesting yet presented.
Speaker Well-Informed
Miss Bartelme is said to be a well-
informed and interesting speaker., er
preset position has enabled he to
study more than 4,000 cases of de-
linquent girls, since this was her es-
pecial work in the juvenile court. As
public guardian she took care of the
estates of many minors, and was often
given charge of the persons . of her
charges as well. She is a graduate
of Northwestern Law school, and
spent several years in the practice of
her profession.
Rev. Dr. Henry Tatlock, rector of
St. Andrew's Episcopal church, will,
offer the invocation and read the scrip-
tures and Mr. Leonard Brooks will be
at the organ. The complete program

drew laugh after laugh, encore after
encore out of the applauding crowd.
With just enough plot to hang. the
songs and dances on, and to lend in-
terest, "Top o' th' Mornin' " never lags
for a minute, showing an organization
far superior to previous operas.
Turner and Ringer Star -in Dance
As Irish boy and girl, Wiliam Turn-
er, '21, and Philip Ringer, '22, star in
a duet dance in the second act, show-
ing professional skill in the vivacity
and finish with which they execute the
intricate steps. One is reminded of
Pierrot and Pierette of "George Did
It" when Ringer flirts capriciously
with his partner in the second dance.
Perhaps equally clever are Powers
and Ringer in the "Hot Dog' hit.
Kemp Kenna, Sch. of M., and Mar-
lowe Stevens, '21E, by their vocal
superiority lift the opera far above
the usual musical comedy. Thomas
Dewey, '23, another vocal star, is as-1
sisted by a group of unusually accom-
plished clog dancers when he sings
"Satan Put a Devil in the Irish," easi-
ly one of the most popular of the
songs.
Comedians Share Honors
Hilliard Rosenthal, '21, as Miltiades
Fitzgerald, the "little faireh,' is again
at his best in "Hot Dog" and "Paris
Green Blues." Sharing honors with
Rosenthal as comedians, are George
Duffield, '21, tyrranical husband beat-1
er, and the victom, Howard Ramsey,
'21E. Equally well received*are the
ingenuous sisters from "Brodie's
Boarding School for Gurruls."

interest not to exceed six per cent

election of 11 councilmen, one from
each 8 wards and 3 at large, all of

WOMEN'S BUILDING
PLANS DISCUSSED
Luncheon Attended by 6,0 Who Are7
Anxious to See Edifice Con-
structedE
DEAN BATES AND ARCHITECT
POND OUTLINE PROSPECTS
"The first thing to be done in your
campaign for a women's building is to
form the vision of the goal toward
which you are working, and for which
you encounter and surmount the many
obstacles and barriers that will beset
your ,way," was the advice of Dean 
Henry M. Bates, of the Law school, in
his address at the women's annual
luncheon held yesterday in Barbour
gymnasium.1
He outlined some of the barriers the
women might expect to find in theirt
campaign, drawing upon his experi-
ence as chairman of the Union cam-t
paign committee, and advised a well<
conducted campaign of education be-
fore the actual taking of subscriptions
should be begun.
Marguerite Clark, '21, president of
the Women's league, talked upon the
spirit of the Michigan woman in con-
negtion with . this building. She said
that though the spirit was now very<
young, its birth cqming with the an-
nouncement by the Regents fallow-
ing the-luncheon of last year, that they
had a plot in mind for such an edifice,
with work and sacrifice, it would in al

few years be fully- reared and in keep-
ing with the hopes of its supporters.
Irving K. Pond, '79, architect of the,
Union, had as his subject, "The Vis-
ion." He portrayed the building as the
expression of the ideals, the thoughts,.
the very selves of the Michigan wom-
en. In this connection, Mr. Pond, who
was in the University when it first
opened its doors to women, mentioned
some of) the alumnae whom he had
known, characterising them as women
of vision who blazed tlhe way for the
greater development, which the pro-
posed building combining refinement,
and charm with strength and charact-
er will express.
More than 650 women were enter-
tained at the luncheon, which was
prepared by the women of the Con-
gregational church,' freshman women
serving. Girls' Glee club and Fresh-
man Girls' Glee club rendered appro-
priate songs,- and the various classes,
seated by tables, sang class parodies.)

Syracuse Professor Thought to Have
Been Temporarily Insane Due
to Dismissal
DISMISS THEORY THAT DEAN
WAS KILLED ACCIDENTALLY
(By Associated Press)
"Syracuse, April 2. - Dr. Holmes
Backwith, educator, former U. S.
army lieutenant and California bank
examiner, who shot and killed his
superior, Dean John H. Wharton, at
Syracuse university this morning be-
fore committing suicide himself, was
probably insane from brooding over
losing his position here, according to
statements . made by the authorities
and'-Chancellor James R. Gay, of the
university, late tonight..
That Beckwith had premeditated
suicide has been nearly established,
having left several letters showing his
intentio# in that respect. At frst it
was thought that Dr. Wharton had
been killed in an unsuccessful at-
tempt to prevent Beckwith's suicide,
this theory has been cast aside
- Coroner S. Ellis Crane, District At-
torney Malpaff and Chancellor Gay are
all agreed in the belief that Dr. Whar-
ton was shot following an argument
when Beckwith presented a letter in
answer to Wharton's notification that
the "university would have no needt
of Beckwith's services after the closet
of college in June".
