Defense Attempts to Show Michga
Corrupt Practice Act Is
Unconstitutional
(By Associated Press)
Washington, Jan. 7.-Conviction of
Senator Truman H. Newberry, of
Michigan, and 16 others of trying to
violate the corrupt practices act was
denounced as a "gross perversion of
justice" by the counsel for the sena-
tor and was upheld by the government
as a lesson to those who would pur-
chase an election "by paid propagan-
da" before the Supreme cout, when
arguments in the appeal were heard.
Grotesque Construction
Charles E. Hughes, former asso-
ciate justice of the court, who headed
counsel for the defense, asserted that
only through a "grotesque" construc-
tion of- the law had the government
been able to present any case to the
jury. He quoted the government's
brief as showing that it was admit-
ted that no restriction was placed by
the law on the expenditure of a po-
litical committee on behalf of any
candidate, nor on the amount which
the committee might raise for a cam-
paign and further, that no attempt
was made by the government to show
that Senator. Newberry had himself
contributed in excess of the legal lim-'
itations of $3,750.
The entire basis of the govern-
ment's case, Mr. Hughes told the
court, was that "this legal commit-
tee, having legally raised a legal sum
of money for a legal purpose, became
an illegal conspiracy because its can-
didate was aware that more than
$3,750 was being expended."
"Act Unconstitutional"
The defense attempted to show the
court that the corrupt practices act
itself, so far as it tended to limit cam-
paign expenditures for legal objects,
was unconstitutional.
Solicitor General Frierson, present-
ing the government's case, took issue
with the theory presented by Mr.
Hughes as to what constituted a vio-
lation of the corrupt practices act.
genator Newberry, according to Mr.
Frierson, being desirous of entering
the United States senate in 1918, call-
ed a conference in New York with
Paul H. King, of Detroit, afterwards
his campaign manager, and Freder-
ick Cody, of New York, superinten-
dent of Detroit schools.
$50,000 Required
At this conference, the question of
the campaign cost arose and Sena-
tor Newberry was told that it would
require the expenditure of $50,000 or

BOOKS COMMEMORATE
PILGRIMANNIVERSARY'
LIBRARY DISPLAYS VALUABLE
EDITIONS FROM CLEMENTS'
COLLECTION
Rare and valuable books in com-
memoration of the 300th anniversary
of the landing of the Pilgrims were
placed on exhibit in the main corridor
of the Library yesterday. Although
the date of the anniversary was Dec.
20, 1920, it was decided to wait until
after Christmas vacation before dis-
playing the books. The collection is
from Regent W. L. Clements' library.
Exhibit Almost Unsurpassed
"The exhibit is indicative of the
richness of the Clements library in its
original source of American history,"
said Librarian W. W. Bishop. "The
books shown here surpass in interest
and rarity practically every exhibit in
American libraries of the Pilgrim
Tercentenary. The only other exhib
its equal to this were in Boston and
Cambridge, where the original man-
uscripts were shown. This collection
is confined to 'ooks."
The exhibit opens with maps which
include the second and third maps
showing America as a continent. The
Molyneux ap of the world from the
1595 edition of Hakluy's "Principle of
Navigation" is also shown. It was
issued only 25 years before the land-
ing of the pilgrims and was undoubt-
edly used in navigating the North At-
lantic.
A map of New England by Capt
John Smith which has the author's
portrait in the upper left hand cor-
ner is among the set. The portrait is
the original from which nearly all of
the reproductions are taken.
Rarest Books Describe Voyages
Perhaps the three rarest books in
the exhibit, are the ones by Debry,
Rosier, and Brereton describing the
early voyages to the eastern coast of
North America. The first is a Latin
edition of Hariot's account of Vir-
ginia published in 1595. The relations
of Rosier and Brereton were printed
in 1602 and 1605, respectively.
It was on the information of these
three books that the earliest efforts
of colonization in New England and
Virginia were carried out. The books
are excessively rare, there being only
our known copies in America of the
two relations.
The remainder of the books in the
exhibit give early accounts of the
Massachusetts and Plymouth colo-
nies. Some of the original books de-
scribing the congregations' form of
church government are shown.
Volumes Treat of Persecution
A number of books tell of the
Quakers' persecution in New Eng-
land. Two of the interesting books
deal with the natural history of New
England, while the "Life of John
Eliot," by Cotton Mather, is notable.
"The Bloody Tenent of Persecution,"
by Roger Williams, was produced in1
1644 during the author's visit to Eng-
land while he was engaged in obtain-
ing the charter of Rhode Island. It
gives a furious protest against eccle-
siastical interference with liberty of
conscience.
FATHER OF 0. W. RUSH, JUNIOR
LIT CLASS PRESIDENT, DIES
J. W. Rush, whose son is 0. W.
Rush, president of the juiior lit class,
passed away Thursday at his home in
Red Oak, Ia., after an illness. of six
weeks duration following a stroke of
paralysis. President Rush was sum-
moned home shortly after the first ap-
pearance of his father's illness. Due
to his long absence from college it is
possible that he will not return until
next semester.

have just been received here. Both
50 and 75 foot ranges will be used,
with the usual X target as a mark.
As no rifle team represents the R.

the highest score will form the team.t
Former Army Team Men Return
For several years before the war
Michigan marksmen held a high place
in Class B of the National Rifle as-
sociation, shooting against the lead-
ing college teams of the country and

BOOK BY LOCALt
MAN LEADS FIELD
Prof. E. 1). Dickinson's Work Declared
Most Comprehensive of Day 1
Treating a subject brought forward
by the war and a discussion of the
League of Nations and the Teaty of<
Versailles, Prof. Edwin D. D ,kinson
of the Law school has written a new
book entitled "The Equality of States1
in International Law," which hast
just been issued by the Harvard Uni-e
versity Press. It contains 424 pagesz
and handles the subject in detail and
with attention to facts which have
never before been touched upon au-t
thoritatively.
Importance of Work Recognized
The importance of this work was
recognized before it was printed to
such an extent that the House Com-
mission to the Peace conference prior
to President Wilson's departure for
Paris secured a copy of the manu-
script for use in its work here and t
during the Peace conference.
Dean Henry M. Bates of the Law
school said of the book, "It is a most
important contribution to a subject
which has long been the object of
much discussion and dissension be-
tween nations. The subject has been
debated with much vehemence at the
meetings of the Assembly and Coun-
cil of the League of Nations, particu-
larly by the smaller nations.
"Book Complete and Excellent"
"Professor Dickinson's book is the
most comprehensive and authoritative
treatment of the matter of the rights
of nations in print today. The work
is complete and excellent in every de-
tail. There is an important supple-
mentary chapter to the book on the
Treaty of Versailles and the League
as affecting the subject."
RICHARDS' TALK
"ABSURD"---WILCE
Indianapolis, Jan. 7.-Regret that
a controversy should arise between
members of the Western Conference
was expressed today by Coach John
Wilce, of the Ohio State university
football team, after reading the state-
ment of Coach John R. Richards, of
Wisconsin, intimating that he would
resign if Ohio State is again placed on
the Wisconsin athletic schedule.
"I am sorry that such a thing as
this had to come up in the Big Ten
Conference from a Conference coach,"
said Wilce, "not only because it is an
attempted slam at Ohio State but also
because it tends to throw a bad light
on a great organization and misin-
form the general public in regard to
high, clean spirit of sportmanship that
exists among universities."
Statements attributed to Richards
that visiting coaches received poor
treatment at Ohio State were brand-
ed by Wilce as "absurd."

Deeply (concerned in Reduction of
Burden by Decreasing Force
to 150,000 Men
DOES NOT EXPECT TROUBLE IN
NEAR FUTURE,. DECLARES KAHN
(By Associated Press)
Marion, Jan. 7.-The plan of the Re-
publican leaders in congress to limit
the peace time strength of the army
to 150,000 men was given approval to-
day by President-elect Harding in a
conference with Representative Kahn,
of California, chairman of the house
military committee.
Senator in Accord with Policy
"Senator Harding is in complete ac-
cord with our policy," said Represent-
ative Kahn after a long talk with the
President-elect. "He is deeply con-
cerned about the reduction of the bur-
den now resting on the shoulders of
taxpayers and he believes much can
be saved by reducing the army strength
to 175,000, as soon as possible, and
then working it down to 150,000 as a
continuing minim um.
"I am sure Senator Harding does
not believe that the millenium has
come, but I do not think he is ex-
pecting trouble in the near future."
Conference One of Series
The con herence at which Mr. Hard-
ing also expressed his desire for a
well organized reserve force was one
of a series he is holding with con-
gressional leaders in charge of mili-
tary and naval legislation. Soon he
is too see Chairman Butler, of the
house naval committee, to urge re-
trenchment in that arm of the service
and to seek a continuing policy for
naval armament.

STATE SOCIAL WORKERS
HOLD CONFERENCE HERE
STATEMENT PRESENTED AS TO
NEED OF NEW TRAINING,
COURSE HERE
Requesting that a more definitely
organized course for the training of
workers in social and recreational
fields be installed in the University,
social workers of Detroit, Grand Rap-
ids, and Bay City met with President
Marion L. Burton, the committee on
educational policy of the Board of Re-
geps, and members of the University
faculty in an informal conference
Thursday afternoon.
The social workers presented on
their part a clear statement as to the
need of the University for such a
course, stating"that a far more general
one was necessary. The matter was
discussed, and the proposition for a
four or five year course and the use of
the city af Detroit as a laboratory for
the working out of social problems
talked over., In the opinion of many
of the visitors, Detroit is the logical
place for such a laboratory, it being
necessary to visit the slums of a large
city and to inspect the law courts.
The matter of a more extensive
course for the training of social and
recreational workers has been brought
to the attention of the University by
the workers of the state several times
within the last '20 years. Several
courses of the above nature are now
being given in the University, but it
is believed by many that a more sys-
tematic and general system of courses
should be developed.
The results of Thursday's meeting
wiere highly satisfactory and it is
probable that a more specific plan
will be presented to the University in
the near future. Among the men at
the conference were Charles Cody,
superintendent of the Detroit public
school system; Fred Butzel, prominent
Detroit philanthropist, and the secre-
tary of the Detroit civil service board.
