Christian Impresses Hearers
At First Organ. Recital Here
Palmer ,Christian,. playing the first
of the twilight organ recitals yester-
day afternoon in Hill auditorium, made
a profound impression upon his hear-
ers at ;this, his initial appearance as,
University organist. Though not yetl
entirely familiar with the instrument,1
he pays with a consistent ease andl
composed deliberation.
A remarkably flexible finger tech-
nique is his, and a touch that is pre-
eise yet independent, while in all hil'
playing there is always a dominating
intelligence. His intepretations ex-
hibit an inspiring rhythmic sense, and
a conception of tone values with an
ability to keep his themes obvious and
yet maintain a balance of volume.
His program was of varied style
and calibre, and of rather general in-
terest. Hollins' Concert Overture
which led the program, was alive with
a variety of color, and seldom muddyl
in spite of rigid technical demands.-
A choral of religious mood by
Fauchnet was performed with majestic
bearing and considerable feeling
while a charming old French Toccata
trilled along on the piccolo with a de-
lightful presto. Mr. Christian's own
attractive.earrangement of Greig's
Nocturne was played with gentle feel:-
ing, and employed a variety of organ
effects. Wagner's pompous and spirit-
ed March from Tannhauser concluded
the recital.
The audience at first seemed hesi-
tant in its praise, but at the end re-
called Mr. Christian to. the platform
several times. It will douftless fol-
low with the success of this first re-
cital, that Mr. Christian's appearances
in the future will be received with in.
creasing interest by an increasing
number of people. The late arrival of
a considerable part of the audience'
resulted in some confusion during
the concert, which began on time.

Washington, Jan. 9.-A Democrat,
Allison D. Smith, of South Carolina,
was elected today by the senate as
chairman of its interstate commerce
committee, one of the ranking com-
mittees of the new Republican con-
gress. Four insurgent Republicans
and the two farmer labor senators
threw their support to Smith, thus not
only breaking a dead-lock which has
existed since December. 10, but also
giving the country convincing, mani-
festations that their control of the
balance of power in the senate is as
complete as that of the Republican
insurgents in the house.
On the 32nd and final ballot of the
deadlock Albert D. Cummins, of Iowa,
who had the endorsement of the Re-
publican organization for reelection,
received only 29 votes as against 39
for Smith and 6 for Senator Couzens,
Republican, Michigan,twho had been
the third choice of the insurgents..
Smith received only one 'vote, more
than the necessary majority of the 74
senators voting.
With the deadlock broken, organ-.
ization of the 68th congress is com-
plete, except for an expected fight
over the office of senate president'
pro-tem.
The situation as to this matter was
somewhat obscure tonight. Senator
Cummins is without the endorsement
of the Republican party conference
for this place, as party leaders have
held an election to be unnecessary-
With the Iowa senator deposed from

insurgents have indicated that they
would support him for reelection as
president pro-tem, but there have
been rumbhlings of some opposition
from, the Republican organization.
Whether Senator Cummins remains
as a member of the inter-state com-
merce committee, which handles rail-
road legislation, was questioned to-
day in the senate by some of the in-
surgents. Republican organization
leaders hold, however, that he is a
member despite his defeat for the
chairmanship.
DRI.NK AND YOU ON'T
DANCE-IF AT CORWtLL
Ithaca, N. Y., Jan. 9.-Co-eds at
Cornell university refuse to danceT
with men who have even a faint smell
of liquor.
Ilieut. Theo. H. Tweston, Univer-
sity proctor, in a statement today
said:
"I believe there is less drinking at
Cornell than in any other large uni-
versity in the country. This, I think
is due largely to the activities of the
girls, who have refused to dance with
a man who has even a faint smell of
at Cornell and be in good standing
liquor about him. No man can drink
socially.
"The girls have banded together, re-
fusing to permit drinking at any so-
cial function, and have boycotted men
from their parties who have infringed
on this rule."

Washington, Jan. 9.-A major of-

"Simultaneously an offensive willr
be launched on the East front (the
Vera Cruz rebels under General
Fanchez). Here, too, elaborate prep-

been made by the Vera Cruz rebels to

IMAKE 'SHOALS OFFER
Washington, Jan. 9.-An entirely
new offer to the government for the
electric power to be developed at
Muscvle Shoals tendered today by
nine of the principal asociated power
companies of the southern states as-!
sured a reopening of that much con-
troverted subject before Congress. At
the same time it assures a re-examin-
ation of the pending offer by Henry I
Ford.
SBriefly, the new offer proposed to
pay the government $100,000,000 rent-
al over a period of 50 years, and still
leave the government in possession
of the property.'
It contemplates taking only the
hydro-electric energy to be develop-
ed by the Wilson dam in 1925 and
leaving the nitrate plant free to the
government for production of mun-f
itions in war, and for the productioni
of fertilizer in time of peace. Be-
side that the offer proposes to re-
serve for production of fertilizer a
block of the electric power to be!
developed on the dam.

Paris, Jan. 9.-A tidal wave and
storms today wrought havoc along
the French Atlantic coast from 'Fin-
isterre to the Basque country. A
number of lives were lost and im-
mense material damage resulted.
Reports from Biarritz, Quinter,
Saint Malo, Parane, La Rochelle, and
Les Sables d'Olonne on the Bay of
Biscay, indicate that all these places
were hard hit by the elements. Dis-
patches from St. Nazaire say that du r-
ing the height of the storm which
was between 2 o'clock this morning
and 5 o'clock, numerous small boats
were thrown against the walls of the
embankment and destroyed. At Les
Sables d'Ollone a number of vessels
were torn from their anchorages.
One, a fishing boat, was sunk and its
crew of six men perished.I
The storm raged throughout. today.
Several wireless appeals from the sea
were received at Brest, One of these
came from the , steamer Tasmania,
which was in trouble in Lat. 47 min,
18 sec. and 7 min. 13 sec. longitude.
The message failed to make known
which of the several steamers of that
name needed aid.
Ensign Dodd explained that all men
who enlisted without previous experi-
ence would be classed either as sea-
men second class in the deck division,
or firemen, third class in the engin-
eer division. Those men who enlist-
ed will be required to attend an hour
and a half drill period each week at
which time the fundamentals of navi-
gation and some of the more elemen-
tary facts of seamanship will be
taught to the new men. Later in the
year they will have an opportunity
to practice rifle marksmanship on
the government range at Ypsilanti.
During the summer the men will be
given, an oportunity Hof taking a cruise
on the Great Lakes at which time they
will receive the full stipend of their
rank.
Those men who have signed appli-
cationi for enlistment; and who did
not take the physical examination may
take it at 1 o'clock Saturday at the
Union. Further enrollments will be
taken at the Wednesday night drill
periods which begin next week.
These periods will begin at 7:30
o'clock.
