Consideration
MRS. JOHN GORMAN AND
JAKE RAMON TO GET CALL
Washington, March 7.-Leonard
Wood was subpoened by the senate
oil committee tonight after public
hearing of a statement in which. he
declared that certain oil interests had
offered for a consideration to support
his father, Major General Leonard
Wood, for the Republican presidential
nomination in 1920.
According to the story told by Wood
the offer was made at the tiite of the
deadlock in the Chicago convention,
and was conditioned upon the ap-
pointment of the late Jake Hamon
then Republican national committee-
man from Oklahoma to the post of1
secretary of the interior.
Senator Walsh of Montana, stated
tonight that subpoenas also would be
issued for Mrs. John W. Gorman

Washington, D. C., March 7.-(By
A. P.)-Endorsement by President
Coolidge of the proposal to remove
the provision for a 25 per cent reduc-
tion in personal income taxes payable
this year from the revenue bill and
enact it in a joint resolution before
March 15, when first installments are
due, stirred up a new tax fight in the
house.
Republican organization leaders in-
dicated they would force action on the
proposal, while opposition developed
in the ranks of both parties.
Democrats characterized the move
as preliminary to a presidential veto
of the revenue bill itself, and many
Republicans expressed the 'fear that.
with this provision out of the bill, it
would be subject to delay in enact-
ment.

President Coolidge supported the
argument of the treasury in asking
the action on the ground that it would
eliniinate confusion resulting from re-
funds which would be necessary if the
reduction were approved after the first
installments have been paid. Mean-

OF COURT F
Michigan's revived Union Fair was
ushered upon the campus yesterday
afternoon when the parade made its
appearance. Starting from the Yost
field house the procession travelled
the main streets of Ann Arbor ending
.its line of march at the field house
again Three blocks were covered by
the strange line of freaks and fantas-
tic floats contributed by the fraternit-
ies and organizations. Floats of
every description, animals of grotes-
que proportions and strange actions,
six bands and uncountable dilapidat-
ed Fords formed together to make up
the procession.
The prize that will be awarded to
the best float- in the parade will be
givenafter a meeting of the judges
can be held. They will probably de-
cide on the winner today.
Heading the line of marchers came
the members of the Fair committee on
horseback. They were followed by the
Varsity band in regular uniform and
with their hats turned backward ac-
cording to the ancient custom estab-
lished after winning a football game.
After the band the floats and other
features of the parade followed.
A cow that crossed its legs and
performed strange antics before those
watching it was one of the prominent
things in the march. A horse who
carried out the same acts was another
feature, going under the name of
"Spark Plug".
A'police patrol that broke into fra-
ternity houses and dragged forth mem-
bers to be carried away in the wagon
was another one of the strange sights
that made the parade what it was.

Washington, March 7.-TestimonyI
directly linking Attorney-general Dau-
gherty with the effort to prevent the
recalling of Edward B. McLean toI
the witness stand was given today be-
fr . nilcenmittee.
Yost field house, scene of athletic
activities for the past few months, was
transformed into a colorful circus last
night. Clowns and bands and criers
blended their efforts to produce a
bedlem of noise and an atmosphere
that was typical of a Union Fair.
More than 3,500 people crowed them-
selves into the field house for the
Fair. They wandered from booth to
booth, listened to the grotesquely
outfitted criers that bellowed the mer-
its of the freaks within the sideshows,
paused at one that attracted them, and
entered. It was a drifting crowd,
transformed into a circus following by
the atmosphere that made the field
house the bedlem that it was.
Sideshows Draw Attention
It was the sideshows that were the
most attractive things of the Fairto
the crowd, who flocked about the
criers. They went from one to anoth-
er, some in a systematic process of
taking them all in, and others just
drifting. And it was a crowd in a
circus mood, that cnuld take a fake
show in the atmosphere in which it
was meant and laugh about it 'all.
The decorations did much to change
the giant field house into the circus
that it was. Red and white canvass
hung in alternate strips about the
sides, forming the booths beneath the
balcony that surrounds the building.
The booths themselves were separated
by wooden posts on which the clown's
heads were placed.
'Posters Add Effect
The advertising that was carried,
out by the organizations with side-
shows added to the effect of the dec-
orations. Great signs and posters
decorated the fronts of the booths.
Circus pictures of freaks and wild
animals hung from the tops of the
fronts of the shows. Platforms built
about the fronts of the booths held
criers and freaks from within the
show.
At one end a motorcycle would ap-
pear on the booth in front of'the side
show. It would roar and spit smoke.
A crier would tell of the race that was
to be started within. It would vanish
into the tent. In another place a girl
would appear and do slow dancing
movements to the strains of wierd
musical instruments, while her powers
were described in vivid tones by the
announcer. Then the police patrol
would sweep by with its bell clang-
ing and carrying a few vicitms to the
"Court of Injustic."
- Roman Circus Presented
The circus was held on the dance
floor in the center of the building. A
procession entered, with the emperor
of Rome and his slaves and animals.
They went upon the floor, the emper-
or seated himself, and his slaves dis.
played their powers before him.
Boxing, a tight rope walker that thrill-
ed, jui-jitsu, saber fencing, all were
carried out, and the victims tossed to
the lions who roared in cages at one
end of the floor or saved as the em-
peror willed.
Dancing was another one of the
many attractions carried on. The
regular Union orchestra furnished
music, which was only interrupted as
the circus was in progress.
The Fair this year has been under
the upervision of John Briscoe, '24E,
as general chairman of the pommittee
in charge. It will be repeated begin-
ning at 7 o'clock tomorrow night in
