took what has been estimated at more
than $100 from the cash drawer. The
robbers then fled.
It was just before darkness set in
and shortly before 6 o'clock yesterdayI
that an Essex coach drew up a short
distance from the headquarters of the
coal company. Four men left the auto
and three of them entered the office
with revolvers drawn. The fourth re-
mained on guard outside. After they
had taken all the money in the drawer
the four jumped into the car and afterI
a few seconds diqappeared' in tri
direction of Detroit. The Ann Arborl
police were immediately notified and
officers sent out succeeded in trailing
the bandits as far as Wayne, it is be-.
lieved. Here all trace was lost. Police,
in all nearby cities, including Detroltu
have been notified to be on the watch
for the marauders.
Local police officials state that four
armed men, believed to be the same
ones, committed a daring hold-up at
noon yesterday in Flint and clues are
being traced down from that source as
well.I
What is characterized as a nation-
wide student referendum on prohi-'
bition, to solicit the vote of every uni-
versity man and women and faculty
member in America, has virtually been
decided upon by college papers of the
country. The Michigan Daily will
act for the colleges of this state; ap-
pointments have been made to other,
large papers to handle the work in
other states.
The Yale News is originator of the
idea, which hastalready been triedt
Iwith success in the east, and will act
as national teller. It is planned to
announce the result In all the dailies
in. the country simultaneously on
March 25. The colleges which will be
asked to conduct votes in the state of
Michigan are: Adrian, Hillsdale,
Hope, Kalamazoo, M. A. C., Michigan'
ICollege of Mines, Albion and Alma..
The supporters of 'the plan back
their assertions of the importance of
such a vote by po:nting out that the
college students of today are the vot-
'ers and leaders of tomorrow. The
Idea alreadydhas the support of many I
prominent politicians at Washington. I
For these reasons it is felt that the
small efforts made so far should be
supplemented by a more inclusive
scheme to ascertain just how the stu-
dents and faculty of the United States
feel on the eighteenth amendment andj
the Volstead Act.

Toased Rolls recently will be counted

Selection of next year's Varsity
cheerleader by an all campus ballot
to be taken at the time of the regular
spring election was passed upon by
the Student council at their regular
meeting last night at the Union. The
motion stated that candidates will be
chosen by the council this spring from
a group of tryouts and will be placed
upon the regular campus ballot for the
vote of the entire student body.
According to John W. Kelly, '24L I
president of the Student council, this
action was taken by the council for
the following reasons: "While realiz-.
ing the selection of men for office by
a campus vote is not always the most!
satisfactory way, the council still feels
that in the case of electing a cheer-
leader, the chief objection to a selec-
tion by a campus vote- unfamiliarity;1
by the campus with the candidate and
his qualifications-would be elimin-
ated.

ENGLISH MAGISTRATESI

London, Feb. 13.-(By A. P.)-In or-

London magistrates ; will attend lec-,
tures on lunacy four days a week,.
commencing in March. The course'
has been organized by the central as-
sociation of mental welfare and, after
their lessons in the morning, the mag-
istrates will visit certified institutions
for defectives, prisons and remand
homes.
Sir I4eslie Scott, chairman of the
welfare association, says it has been
felt thatsoei such practical course
might be of interest and help to magis-
tratbs in a part of their work, to which
so much attention has recently been
drawn. At present a magistrate can
override an expert opinion which de-
cides that a person is a mental defec-
tive. "We have arranged to bring the
two together, in order that they will

Washington, Feb. 13.--(By AP)-,
Sections of the immigration restriction1
measure pending in the house would
operate to exclude Japanese from the'
country and such exclusion would be
"inconsistent" with treaty obligations
with Japan, Secretary Hughes con-'
tended in letter to Chairman Johnson'
of the House immigration committee
made public today at the state depart-
ment.
"I am unable to perceive that the
exclusion provision is necessary and
I must strongly urge upon you the!
advisablity in he interests of our in-!
ternational relations of it," Secretary
Hughes said.
"The Japanese government has al-1
ready brought the matter to the at-,
tention of the department and there,
is the deepest interest in the attitude I
of Congress with respect to this sub-7
ject," the letter added.
Secretary Hughes called attention
to the existing understanding between
the two governments, under which'
Japan undertakes to prevent immigra-
tion of laborers to the United States
adding that the Japanese government 1
in this connection now regulates im-
migration to territory ,contiguous to
the United States with the object of'
preventing the departure from Japan#
of persons who are likely to obtainI
surreptious entry into thistcountry.
If a provision making certificates
necessary for immigrants coming intoI
the United States were made appli-
cable to Japanese, secretary Hughes
said, it would be possible to obtainI
active cooperation of the Japanese I
government and arrangement could,
be perfected "envolving a doublecon-
trol over the Japanese quota of less 'I
than 250 a year" which could enter
the country.
