Great Falls, Montana, April 8.-(By
A. P.)--U. S. Senator B. K. Wheeler,

Freakish as present day styles .may
p seem, Gargoyle in its April "Old;
Timer's Number" has cast waidelight
upon the idiosyncrasies of the old'
boys on the campus that is distinctly
I encouraging. Life on the campus isn't
what it used to be, says Gargoyle, and
with its representations of high wheel-
ed likes and flounce shirts proves its
point.
Here we have an accurate history
of campus traditioh, starting with the
"First Campus Pet," which is a com-
placent dinosaur grazing placidly nearj
University hall. Then other insti-I
tutions are brought into play, with
Jack Clarke, '25, showing on a wood
cut the Hobbs-Slosson debate to a silk-
batted audience, Professor Wenley and
President Burton in varied discourse,
and Chief of Police O'Brien curbing
speeders with his high wheeled bicy-
doe.r

Nandolin, swing hammock, a girl
with an old time coiffure, and the 1898
beau brummel typify the issue on the
cover design by Walker Everett, '26.1
This attractive cover is followed by aj
frontpiece, which contrasts styles of
the different period in pleasing fash-
ion.

Every, '24, fall into the old time at-
mosphere and are praiseworthy work.
Garg has fallen down a trifile in its
written material for this issue, but thej
art work balances it easily.
Gargoyle's smaller jokes are not
generally as clever as in previous is-
sues this year, but in the main they1
are catching. This issue, which
eclipses most of its month's contem-
poraries for size and quality, is in the
whole a worthy effort.

With Senator Wheeler were indict-
ed Gordon Campbell, oil geologist and
operator, and L. C. Stevenson, oil
promoter and principalowner of an
oil refinery. Campbell and Stevenson
were the discoverers of the Sun-

Other oil men of lesser prominence
also were indicted on charges of us-
ing the mails to defraud.

three occasions Senator Wheeler ac-

Washingtoh, April 8 - By AP)-
senator Wheeler in a statement to-
night declared that the indictment -re-
turned against him in Great Falls,
Mont., was brought "solely for the'
purpose" of Interfering with senate
investigation of the departmeit of
justice.
It was convincing evidence, he' as-
serted, that investigation of the de-
partment should go on, and ie declar-
ed that it would go on because the
action in Montana ".shds' that'even
with Daugherty out of office his mal-
ign influence still moves his old
paw."
The indictmet, the statement add-
ed, was "evidently brought out at the
instigation of the republican national

es that it will be tried before a judge
who was a recent selection of Daugh-
erty.

at the same time authorized the
statement that the evidence presented
to the grand jury at Great Falls, was
uncovered by the postoffice depart-
ment and that the department of jus-
tice "had nothing whatever to do with

Conditions surrounding the enforce-
ment of prohibition in the Illinois de-
partment of justice action in relation
to war contracts of the Old Hickory,
Powder company of Tenn'essee, and a
mail fraud case in Boston were dis-
cussed by witnesses who appeared to-
day before the senate Daugherty in-
vestigating committee.
As a result of testimony concerning
"protection" declared to have been ac-
quired by Chicago breweries and boot-
leggers, which Brice F. Armstrong, a
prohibition agent at Chicago contin-
ued from his first appearance yester-
day, E. iC. Yellowley, chief of federal
general prohibition enforcement
agents, was called before the commit-
tee and submitted official records ask-
ed for by committee members.
Details of the Old Hickory case and
mention of the mail frauds were giv-
en the committee by Geo. W. Storck
now an accountant for the department
of justice, who told of recommend-1
ations that the return of $5,000,000,
being sought from the Dupont inter-
ests, as owners of the Old Hickory
plant, on war contracts for powder,{
and that an investigation of the
"green case" at Boston had disclos-
ed expensive mail frauds,hbut had re-
sulted in no federal prosecutions.,
Armstrong added many details to
the charges that he made yesterday
that breweries were permitted to op-;
erate in Chicago largely through theE
assistance of "local politicians." He<
gave the names of plants and assert-c
ed that the department of justice and
prohibition units had failed to bring 1

tor, Charles Evans Hughes, secre-

EXPERT DOES NOT SEE REAL
ADVANTAGES IN WORLD TOURS
Major Carl Spatz, commandant of
1Selfridge Field, Mt. Clemens, in his
address last night in the Natural
Science auditorium, advised all men
who had any intentions of entering,
the flying game to. enter through' the
army service. He stated that commer-
eial' air service has not as yet reach-I
ed the point' where it 'offers induce-
ments. tothe amateur afiator, while'
on the other hand the army keeps
abreast of -they times, maintaining a
full and complete equipment and of-
fering unlimited scope for research'
and experimentation.
"Growth of aviation depends upon
two things," stated Major Spatz.
"In the first place, a machine must
be designed which will carry from
four to six times the freight as the
present machine. Secondly, laws must
be enacted protecting enterprisers 'in
the flying game." -
Official army - movies, 'depictingj
some of the phases of airplane dev-
elopment and 'usage were shown.'
Great battleships were sunk with
single 'bombs; a perfect .smoke cur-

entire fleet for twenty, minutes on a,
still day; bombers with a capacity ofj
28,000 pounds and little pursuit planes
with a speed ranging up to 250 miles
an hour, were shown in various pos-
itions.
In an interview following his lec-
ture. Major Spatz stated that the use
of the dirigible as a war machine
would be confined to night flying and
transport duty, its weight and clum-
siness rendering it useless for ex-
tensive w'ork on' battle lines.
Asked for his opinion on the effect
of the present world tour, he respond-
ed that he failed-to foresee any prime
effects. 'He also stated that he
thought the proposed trip of the
Shenandoah to the North Pole would
have been a good thing.
