PRICE IVE C] ITF DEATH ENDS LORD MAYORM'S WINEY'S LONG FOOD STRIKEI RECEIVED TWO YEAR SENTENCE FOR FEDERAL CHARGES UNEXPECTED END NOT UNEXPECTED; UNCONSCIOUS FOR DAYS Cork Executive Terribly Emaciated as Result of Long Hunger Strike (y Associated Press) London, Oct. 25.-Clarence Mac- Swiney, lord mayor of Cork, and the most prominent of the Irish hunger strikers, and said to be the brains of the republican army in Ireland, died early today in Brixton prison. The end was not unexpected, for the lord mayor has been unconscious for several days. He was entering up- on the 74th day of his hunger strike, as a protest against a two year sen- tence for federal charges, including one of having seditious documents in his possession. Lord Mayor Emaciated The lord mayor, who was terribly emaciated as a result of his long ab- stinence from food, had been deliri- ous for many hours, and was uncon- scious when death came. It was several hours after the lord mayor died before the news was tak- en to Mrs. MacSwiney. She immedi- ately went to the prison accompan- ied by her parents, MacSwiney's sis- ter and the family group, stoical and dry-eyed, she prayed over the body as it lay on a cot. No Unwarranted Excitement There was no unwarranted excite- ment outside the prison when the news of MacSwiney's death became generally known. A large force of police had been concentrated to put down any disorder that might occur. It is well within the possibilities that the body will be taken to Cork secretly, in order to avoid unpleas- ant results, from whatver demonstra- tion might be arranged in England and Ireland along the route traveled by the train. There is no intimation that any official advocates refusal to send it to Cork. It is, however, in the powers of the home office to give up the body of a prisoner in what- ever way it is deemed most expe- dient. CARELESSNESS FIRE CIUSE Blazes of Last Few Days Due to Cigar- ette Butts, Pardon Thinks That the fires of the past few days have been the result of carelessness on part of Instructors, is the opinion of E. C. Pardon, superintendent of the buildings and grounds department. "Fires have been started In the past by cigarette butts carelessly thrown into wastepaper baskets," said Su- perintendent. Pardon. "In my opin- ion, it is not altogether unlikely that some of the fires of the past few days were caused by the same source." This statement is borne out by the fact that two fires in the main build- ing were in the desks of instructors. A thorough investigation is to be made by the building and grounds department and steps will be taken immediately to prevent any further fires. Soccer Game Called Off On account of the failure of the South African soccer team to appear, the game scheduled Monday with the South American team was necessarily' called off. 'ENSIAN NOTICE All organization heads should call at the Michiganensian office in Press building, between 2 and 4 o'clock any day this week and sign contracts. To insure space this should be done at once. Fraternities and sororities are are requested to sign and re- turn contracts immediately.

MONDAY CONDITION PRONOUNCED HOPE. LESS AT NOON YESTER- DAY DEATH DUE TO SEVERE MONKEY BITE IN OCT. Succeeds to Throne When Father Ad- dicates at Demand of Three Great Powers (By Associated Press) Athens, Oct. 25.-- King Alexander >f Greece died at 5:20 o'clock Mon- lay. His death was due to wounds received when a, pet monkey attack- ed him early in October, the bite be- ng badly mutilated. Throughout last night the heart ac- tion grew weaker, his general debility became more pronounced and pulmon- ary symptoms were intense. Breath- ing at times was most difficult and alarming. At noon today it was an- nounced that the king's condition was hopeless. Took Throne in June, 1917 Alexander succeeded to the throne of Greece in June, 1917, when his fa- ther, King Constantine, abdicated in response to the demand of France, Great Britain and Russia, the three powers which had guaranteed the constitutional liberties of the Greek people. Alexander was the second son of Constantine and at the time of his accession was not quite 24 years old. His elder brother, Crown Prince George, was considered ineligible for the throne because of alleged pro- German sympathies. In any event, King Constantine nominated Alexander to succeed him. The fall of Constantine had been brought about through the agency of the French senator, M. Jonnart, who went to Athens in June, 1917, as a representative of the three great pow- ers, on the ground that this step would establish unity of feeling among the Greeks and greater securi-' LOCAL CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS PLAN BIG SIX DAY DRIVE FOR $40,000 Setting its aim at acquiring a fund of approximately $40,000, a commit- tee composed of representatives of the various charitable associations of Ann Arbor will conduct a six-day drive, beginning Wednesday, Nov. 3, for subscriptions from students as well as the residents. The purpose of the campaign is to supplement with the money donated the present inade- quate facilities of the buildings now housing the organizations. Societies Number 10 the association known as the Visiting Nurses are the more prominent, due to the fact that they have on dif- ferent occasions administered to the needs of the student body. The bene- ficial work of the Visiting Nurses was felt in Ann Arbor during the winter of 1918, when many cases of illness caused by an epidemic of influenza, among students in the S. A. T. C., were diligently attended by these nurses. The childrens' day nursery, a char- itable institution which has been ac- tive in Ann Arbor for 13 years, is an- other of the organizations for whose benefit the campaign will be held. An increasing influx of cases of infants who require the aid of the nursery and demands of employes for higher wages has caused the board of gov- ernors to ask for larger appropria- tions. Among there are Y. W. C. these societies, of which 10 in all, the Y. M. C.

Local JMusicianst Please In First Sunday Concert (By D. F. M.) Music lovers who wandered into Hill auditorium Sunday afternoon were given a real treat by three mem-E bers of the University School of Mus- ic faculty at the first complimentaryI recital of the year.1 Mr. William Wheeler, head of the voice department, appeared first with four of Liszt's song gems given in the smooth sympathetic manner charact- eristic of the singer. He delighted thej audience later in the afternoon with, several Irish songs and a selection de- picting in music, scenes from the years 1914 and 1915.1 Miss Marian Struble's three violin selections and two encores received a well earned ovation. Among them1 the low strains of Sinding's "Romance, E minor," showed Miss Struble's in- terpretative ability, while the young artist's quick delicacy of touch was demonstrated in the "Hungarian Dance, No. 7, A major by Brahams- Joachim." Mr. Albert Lockwood, another local favorite, closed the program with dif- ficult piano selections from Beethov- en, Liszt, and Tschaikovsky which he handled with easy mastery. Both Miss Struble and Mr. Wheel- er were given admirable support by Mrs. George Rhead, accompanist. Cercle Francals to Meet Tonight The first meeting of - the Cercle Francais will be held at 7:30 o'clock tonight in the Cercle Francais rooms. The French facul-ty are cordially in- vited to this meeting and the active members are requested to be present. Addressing a crowd of approximate- ly 3,500 people Sunday night in Hill auditorium, President Marion L. Bur- ton gave what many claimed to be the finest address of its kind ever heard in Ann Arbor, on the subject, "The Function of Religion in College Life." Taking as his keynote the state- ment that, "The function of religion in university life is to establish its sov- ereignity over the life of the indiv- idual student," President Burton de- livered an address only 30 minutes in length, stating definitely the real pur- pose and necessity of religion in the life of all college students. President Defines Religion Beginning with a few instances and cases of the need of students for relig- ion from the standpoint of its strength- ening influence in meeting the crises which occur more frequently in col- loge than in any other period of life, the President defined religion as "Life in all its relationships." Proceeding to showthow men in their relation- ships with their fellow men, with themselves, with their business, their studies and with their God, are liv- ing religion, the speaker made it clear that such things as escaping it or go- ing without it indefinitely is utterly impossible. "True religion and true science do not and never will conflict," was the contention of the President in speak- ing of the varied influences which af- fect students when they begin to study a little science. "Supposing that here isgan orchid, and here is a book telling about the orchid," he said, "merely because in that book there are some Inconsistencies, some facts that are incorrect, as there al- ways will be, should I say that I can- not believe any of it, that the orchid does not exist. "Interpret as You Please" 'y for the Entente forces then operat- ing in the East. Alexander Not Pro-German Constantine had been accused of pro-German sympathies partly on ac- count of his marriage to the Princess Sophie, sister of the then Emperor William of Germany, and it also was charged that he had not acted honor- ably toward the Allies. Alexander, on the other hand, was reported to be free from pro-German proclivities. Constantine left Athens ahd took up his residence in Switzerland. CLASSES OF JOURNALISM IN EXTENSION DEPT. POPULAR Interest in classes in journalism given in Detroit under the University extension division has resulted in the formation of a class of 60 students Other Organizations Included The other societies which will have representatives on the campaign com- mittee are the Old Ladies' Home, .the clinic of St. Joseph's hospital, the Community federation, the Humane society, and the Ann Arbor branch of the children's aid societies of Michi- gan. HON. FORONLY, MRS. YAN YLIET, BIYK ADDRESSES PRESENT ADMINISTRATION AR- RAIGNED; DISCUSS LEAGUE OF NATIONS Approximately 100 students formed in line behind the Varsity band and marched to the Whitney theater last night carrying sparklers to hear Hon. Joseph Fordney, chairman of , the ways and means committee, arraign the present administration. Statistics Given After being introduced by James Pollock, grad., Fordney proceeded to give statistics showing, as he claim- ed, the waste, extravagance and inef- ficiency of the Wilson administration. He said that during the war about $51,000,000,000 was spent, which is nearly one and one-half times more money than was expended from the time when Alexander Hamilton was secretary of the treasury up to the present. He also stated that if this amount of money was placed in dol- lar bills and stretched out in a car- pet, it would cover a piece of ground 65 feet wide and 25,000 miles long. He then attacked the present rev- enue laws and the league of na- tions, laying most stress on the un- desirability of article 10. Appeal Made to Women Mrs. Van Vliet, candidate-for the electoral college, spoke for a few min- utes on the subject, "A Woman's View Point on the League of Na- tions." Starting with article one she hurriedly made comments on various articles throughout the league. She finished her talk by appealing to the women of Michigan to go to the polls and vote for Harding.

P. G. Bartelme, athletic direct and Harry Tillotson of the athlei office, were the prosecuting witness At first, Bowen stated that he did n~ know how much the tickets we worth, as he did not look at the pri mark stamped upon them. When M Bartelme asked him how much he p for the four tickets he admitted h ing, he declined to answer.

Further Arrests Expected "We are going to do everything can to stamp out this illegal deali in tickets," said Mr. Bartelme in co menting on Saturday's events. "'I athletic association charges what considers a fair price, and anyc caught in an attempt to make a. p fit on an event given under the a spices of the University will be pr ecuted.
