inet as secretary of labor "a recog-
nized representative of organized la-
bor," and "a real spokesman of the
working people of all the country, who
understands the toilers."
All the 215 tickets for the Soph
Prom to be given March 11 at the'
Union were disposed of at yesterday
afternoon's sale, and it is estimated
that 250 were unable to secure tick-
ets. The first comer in the waiting
line is -aid to have arrived at 8
o'clock, and by 10 o'clock there were1
about 10 men waiting for the sale,I

Upperclassmen and freshmen dis-
covered trying to purchase tickets

Oyet Invaded Region
(By Associated Press)
Washington, Feb. 24.-The United
States government was asked by Pan-
aam today to use its good offices to
avoid any bloodshed in Central Amer-
ica growing out of the alleged inva-1
sion of Panama soil by Costa RicanI
troops.
Acting on instructions from Pres-
ident Porras, charge d'affaires Le-
sevre of the Panama legation, inform-
ed the state department that what
first advices describe as an influx of
political refugees from Costa Rica to
Panama was actually an armed inva-
sion. Mr. Lesevre requested that the
United States intercede with the Cos-
ta Rican minister here.
A message received by Mr. Lesevre.
from his government and communicat-
ed to Under-secretary of State Davis
was to the effect that troops, acting
from instruction from the Costa Rican
capital at San Juan, had occupide ter-
ritory bordering on the Cota Golfido
and Colorado.
An armed force headed by Gen.
Manuel Quintero, a member of Pres-
ident Porras' cabinet, was said to have
been dispatched from Panama to the
threatened section. The purpose of
this expedition, the cable stated, was
to "regain sovereignty over the invad-
ed territory."
WORKMAN IS BURIED ALIVE IN
NEW HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION!
William Braatz, age 55, was bur-
ied alive Wednesday when the roof of1
a tunnel in which he was digging at i
the new University hospital caved
in. He was covered by 12 feet of
earth, and other workers were only
able to recover his body after an hour
and a half of frantic digging.
Braatz was a foreman in charge of
the construction work on the tun-
nel. He had lived in Ann Arbor for
the past 18 years and had been em-
ployed by the University for three
years.
Two other men, working near the
mouth of the tunnel, were caught
when the roof fell in, but they were
able to liberate themselves from the
dirt.

AT GAME TOMORROW NIGHT
With the final games of the basket-1
ball season only a short distance
away, arrangements are being made
by The Daily to. establish communica-
tion by wireless with the student pa-
pers of Purdue and Illinois universi-
ties for the purpose of reporting the
progress of the game more rapidlyI
than has been possible by using land
lines
Prof. Joseph H. Cannon, of the engi-
neering college, who has charge of
the University radio station, has shown
a considerable interest in the project.
and has made arrangements whereby
the station may be used for the pur-
pose of handling the game reports on
these occasions. The Daily has alsol
communicated with the Purdue Ex-
ponent and the Daily Illini in an ef-
fort to interest them in the possibil-
ity of handling these reports by air.
ThePurdue Well Equipped
The boilermakers at Lafayette have
a powerful radio equipment with
which they are able to work through
to considerable distances, and the Ex-
ponent has expressed an enthusiastic
willingness to co-operate with The
Daily in this connection, it being the
intention of the northern Indiana pa-
per not only to announce the reports
to the assembled fans as they are re-
ceived by wireless, but also to use the
service for the Tuesday morning edi-
tion.
Illinois' radio capabilities, on the
other hand, form an unknown quan-
tity.
To Conduct Tests
It is probable that tests will be con-
ducted with the station at Purdue this
evening for the purpose of firmly es-
tablishing communication, preparatory
to the handling of the reports Monday
night.
