Madison street, and holding off the occupants at the threat of shooting. 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. Th results of the vote conducted by Toased Rolls recently will be counted in the total for the University unless The Da ly receives word that any voter feels that the new wording ofI the propositions affects his previous a'nswer. The three questions, to be found ready for use in the ballot on page four today, cover, first, the re- peal or retention of the present stat-r utes, and second, the alteration to permit the sale of light wines anid beers. It is requested that readers vote on. one of these propositions on- ly.e etIts wiIIbe announced pobf ably daily and the final total for thee University given within 15 days. it isc expected. Ballots should be address-. ed to the Editorial Department of The1 Michigan Daily.I 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. 1 83 ARE NOTIFIED OF DELINQUENCYI HUGHES DEFENDS JAPAN IN LETTERi Calls Immigration Exclusion Against Japanese Inconsistent With Obligations newspaper.

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.

InI addition, 40 students who were tool low for possible continuation in their courses are not to return this semest-k er. Of the 189 wavering on dismissal, only S are women students, it was said. This fact is considered signifi- cant. inas11puch as more, than a thirdj of the student body are women. Whose who succeed in convincing the offici- alp that they should be allowed to stay in school will be placed on pro-! bation and debarred from further par- ticipation in campus activities.' So that those who are going to- leave school may know of it at the earliest moment, notifications of ser-1 ious delinquency have been rushed out early and will probably have all been received by this morning. a OHIO' PROFESSOR COMES TO REPLCEPHILLIPS' Homer C Hockett professor of his- tory at Ohio State university, is in Ann: Arbor taking over the courses which 1 ordinarily were conducted by Prof. U.

"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. that his and other oil companies frained from bidding on the Fall leases because they considered leasing policy to be without autho in law.
