The inference was that the gentleman from Detroit would step out of the presidential race pro- vided he was allowed to step into Muscle Shoals. The President denied all responsibility for the statement. Senator Norris, who opposes Ford's ownership of the big power project and who advocates a bill proposing government operation, said: "If Ford really seeks Muscle Shoals just to spend the rest of his life helping the poor, regardless of the thickness of his own pocketbook, let his menj here support my bill and we'll make Ford governor of the plant as a $1 a year man." '- President Coolidge publicly en- dorsed the proposal that immigrants ineligible to citizenship (Japanese) be excluded from the United States. He held conference all week with various legislators because, although he want- ed (1) to exclude them, he also wanted (2) to be polite about it.j Franklin D. Roosevelt, former as- sistant secretary of the Navy, was chosen manager of Governor Al, Smith's presidential campaign. He, like Governor Smith, favors modifica- tion of the Federal Prohibition En- forcement law. Governor Smith's increasing popu- larity as Democratic nominee has made prohibition once more the most important issue in the Democratic platform. If McAdoo gets the nomin- ation the platform will be dry; if Al gets it the platform will be wet.

Galli-Curci, opera singer, en route from California to Phoenix for a conlert 'engagemerit, hummed a song of praise for Arizona's strict pre- cautionary regulations as she sub- jected herself to the disinfection and inspection process imposed on all rail passengers coming into the state from California.. "Everything must be done to pre- I vent the spread of the foot and mouth disease," the singer declared.

Everyone in the crowded tap room aided the song fest, and two song birds, R. Winfield Adams, '24, and Philip I'. La Rowe, '25, gave entertainment on the spur' of the moment. For some tima the Union man- agement has been attempting to encourage the old tap room gatherings of yore, and in this ex- temporaneous program are seen the first fruits of the policy. From appearances, those pres- ent at the singing last night en- joyed the program, applauding in the customary fashion of pounding on the tables and bandclapping.

Igon to --1-.- 4 TAP ROOM LIVENED BY IMPROMPT U SONGFEST Wasington, May 3.-(By AP)-Its .program for checking rum running al- ong the Atlantic seaboard under way, the treasury today turned its atten- tion to the Canadian border. Coast guard crews will attempt to check rum running by boats In the deep waters of the Great Lakes, and custom service agents will be respon- sible for all ports of entry and with prohibition agents will direct their at- tention to rum running by land and on small streams. The Canadian distilleries and brew- ers unhampered by their government are aiding in the smuggling according to reports received here and Judge Moss said the treasury's task was to build a wall of agents that would per- mit as little as posisble of the liquor to leak through. - Prohibition agents at all cros ings and those scattered between customs have been equipped with motorcycles with which they can guard the bor- der more closely It is the cities how- ever where the treasuries greatest problem lies. Detroit was said to present th worst of the situations, as was indicated by an unofficial report that one brewer across the river from that city last year paid the Canadian government an export tax of approxi- mately $300.000 on the basis of 50 cents a case of beer. Most of it is said to have conie to the U. S One phase of the situation at De- troiti the treasury is powerless to deal with. Excursion boat owners of the U.. S. side are daily becoming more aroused, it is said because Can- adian owned steamers can pick up loads of excurionists on the Detroit side go back to their own landing stock their bar rooms and go ino wat- ers on the Canadian side of the lake for a flourishing business. The treas- ury however is determined that the passengers shall not become pocket flask smugglers. BONUS BILL SUBMITTED Wasngton, May 3.-(By AP)-The soldier bonus bill was sent to Presi- dent Coolidge late today from the capital where legislative action was completed with the signing of the measure by President Cumming of the senate. The measure reached the wihite house within a few hours after the president had sent a message to the senate announcing that he had vetoed the Bursum pension bill, because it would add many millions of dollars annually to the cost of government. A reading of that message streng- thened the belief long entertained by a number of senators that President Coolidge would veto the bonus bill. The executive will not take immediate action as the measure first will be sent to the treasury for a nestimate of costs and the views of Secretary .Mellon. Later it will probably go to the veteran's bureau in which its ad- ministration would be lodged. Should th'e president return the bill to congress without his approval an effort will be made to pass it over his veto and proponents in both the sen- ate and house assert that they can muster the required two thirds.

With the announcement that Sena-; tor Johnson will probably not carry his own state in the republican prim- aries, that worthy aspirant's presi- dential boom dies down to a feeble echo. California republicans are con- fident that Coolidge will win. - Hearngs were opened before the sub-committee on foreign affairs for' the entrance of the United States in the World Court. One of the most enthusiastic supporters was President L4owell, of Harvard, "I am in favor of joining the League of Nations too,"' he said.
