P.)- An appropriation bill, requesting $3,-' 192,700 for building an improvement at the University of Michigan in the next two years, was introduced in the House tonight by Rep. Loomis Pres- ton, of Berrien county. The bill calls for $1,700,000 in 1925- 26 and $1,492,700, in 1926-27. The items speciified are $300,00 each year for an administration building, $450,000 each year for a museum and equip- m4ent, $250,000 each year for an obser- vatory and equipment, $200,000 eacha year for an architectural building, $500,000 the first year and $327,700 the' second year for land. Two years ago the legislature ap- propriated $3,800,000 for a hospital, medical building, tunnels, sewers and power. Another University of Michigan bill is to be introduced shortly suggesting th4a the mill tax appropriation be in- creased. The last legislature limited this fund to $3,000,000 a yer. The Uni-] versity seeks a return to the old 3-8 mill system whereby it would get an increase with each increased state valuation. AUTO SHOW RECEIPTS LESS THAN EXPECTED Receipts from the auto show, whicht was given last week for the benefit of the University band, amounted to $1,500 it was announced yesterday by c Robert-A. Campbell, treasurer of thee University. Although this amount isa considerably less than it was hopeda would be realized from the exhbit,c it will serve as a substantial sumt with which to begin the new year inI the fall. The inclement weather, togetherc with several campus events takingt place at the same time, caused a de-c cided slump in the attendane on Friday and Saturday, only a portion of the number of visitors that were expected, attending the show. How-a ever, the entire $1,500 taken in at the door of Yost field house, will be di- rected towards the support of thef band for the current year. This willt partly relieve the musical organization c of the responsibility of raising suf- ficient funds to meet the expenses of trips, during the football season.- Two of the motors which were ona display at the field house as a part of the show, were presented to thet automotive school of the University as a gift to be used for testing andf experimental work.

DOCTOR SAYS SiCKNESS KEPT NURMIFROM MEETi New York, March 16.-A physician's certificate stating that Paavo Nurmi was ill last Saturday night and there- fore unable to appear at a track meet in Hartford, Conn., was handed today to Frederick W. Rubien, secretary of the National Amateur Athletic union, to whom the Connecticut Amateur Athletic union protested after Nurmi had failed to go to Hartford. Mr. Rubien said the certificate giv- en him by Hugo Quist, Nurmi's man- ager was "satisfactory to him" but that before action could be taken he must await the report of the Metro- politan A. A. U. which has jurisdiction over the runner. This report, itwas, said, will not be ready before Wednes dl v_ WITNEIS SREFUSES TO TALK IN LEASE ANNULMENT SUIT! SON-IN-LAW OF FALL DECLINES T[ TESTIFY RE ( ARI)iN( BOND DEPOSIT BRINGS CASE TO HEAD Sustainment of Action By Judge May Keep Former Secretary From Witness Stand Cheyenne, Wyo., March 16.-(By A. P.)-Jumping speedily from onei critical point to another the Teapot Dome lease annulment suit came to a head late today in a legal haze over the question whether M. P. Eeverhart, Pueblo, Colorado, banker and rancher, would be sustained in his refusal to testify regarding a deposit of Liberty Bonds he handled for Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior, on the ground that he was within his constitutional rights. Everhart, a son-in-law of the for-t mer secretary of the interior, refused to ansewer questions put by Owen J. Roberts of government counsel, re- garding whether or not he took $90,- 000 in Liberty Bonds to the First Na- tional Bank of Pueblo, of which he is a director, and deposited them there with instructions that they belonged to Fall. He declined to answer on the ground that to do so might incrim- inate him. Counsel on both sides took opposite views as to whether a witness in such a position was the sole judge as to whether or not his answer might in- criminate him. A long argument fol- lowed, after which federal judge T. Blake Kennedy took' the question un- der advisement. Questioned as to what would be done if Everhart were sustained by Judge Kennedy in his refusal Mr. Roberts said: "If Everhart is not compelled to testify further, I don't think we will take the trouble to call Mr. Fall to the stand." Fall is here under subpoena but doubt has been expressed as to wheth- er he would testify. SECURITY OF FRONTIERS IS PROBLEM TO ALLI1ESI! Paris, March 16.-(By A.

Ion C. Hom at the regular c dinner of the Exchange club held lastt night at the Union.e Capt. Holm traced the influence ex-8 erted by the Army in the development of the country, beginning with the Lewis and Clark expedition which spent two years in exploring and sur- veying unsettled regions as far west as the Pacific, after the Louisiana Purchase. Some of the services ren- dered by the Army in times of peace were enumerated by Capt. Hom as follows: protection of pioneers, en- couraging and building of 'railroads, surveying, construction of canals andI light-houses, prevention of disease, and various kinds of relief work. A large part of the Army's present peace-time activity is taken up with different kinds of training schools, according to Capt. Holm, this branch including technical and mechanical as well as military training, as shown In schools for skilled workers and various types of specialties, garrison schools, and the like, besides the reg- ular R. O. T. C. work and citizens training camps. Other branches of constructive mil- itary work includes: -experiment, in- vention, civil government of island possessions, improvement of water- ways, and the issuing of permits for bridge building. JDGE REFUSES HEQUEST 'OF PAKING__COMPANIESi Washington, March 16.-Application of the Armour and Swift packing com- panies for an order vacating the con- sent decree entered into five years ago, with the department of justice was refused today by Justice Bailey in the supreme court of the District of Co- lumbia. The court announced, how- aun fhn _,xrimat wmld a hsrl CASTLES IN SPAIN HAS PREMIER AT WHITNEY TONIGHT JUNIOR GIRLS OPEN PLAY WITH 2fERFORMANCE FOR SENIOR WOMEN 150 IN CAST Twelty-first Annual Production Will Be Given All Week; Matinee Saturday "Castles in Spain," the twenty-first annual Junior Girls' play, will have its premier at 8:15 o'clock tonight at the Whitney theatre. The firt perfor- mance will be for the Senior women only, who will attend en masse, wear- ing their caps and gowns for the first time.. This custom marks the origin of the annual production which was begun more than a decade ago as an impromptu entertainment for the graduating women. This year's play will give six per- formances, playing every night this week and matinee Saturday. More than 150 members of the Junior class are in the production, which has been in rehearsal since Christmas vaca- tion. "Castles in Spain" is the work of a committee composed of Ruth Carson. chairman, Helen Ramsay and Lucy Wilson; it has been directed by Amy Loomis, '22 who is the first woman to be in charge of the presen- tation. Miss Loomis is replacing Prof. John R. Brumm of the journalism de- partment, who has been the director for many years in the past. The music and lyrics are all the work of junior women. There are 14 musical numbers in the play, which will appear in the scene and will be on sale at the theatre during each performance. The dancing has been worked out by a committee with the aid of Miss Loomis and is said to be much more modern and fast than that of previous years. "The first act of "Castles in Spain" is set in a dormitory on the Michigan campus and the second act takes place in a village of northern Spain. The Spanish atmosphere has given many opportunities for striking costumes and unusual music and dancing, ac- cording to those who have been pres- ent at the dress reheasals. The cos- tumes which were made expressly for this production by Christy & Co. of New York are said to be as beautiful as any that have ever been used in past performances. The seat sale for the six perfor- mances has been remarkably good, according to Eunice Rose, the busi- ness manager, but there are a few good seats left for all the perfdr- mances. No men will be admitted to the performance tonight, but the gen- eral public may attend any of the other presentations during the week. The tickets may be procured starting at 1 o'clock today at the box office of the Whitney theatre. The price of seats is as follows: entire orchestra, $2.50; first 4 rows of the balcony, $2.00; the next 4 rows, $1.50 and the remaining seats of the balcony, $1.00. The gallery will not be open during any of the performances. All senior women will meet at 6 o'clock tonight at the Union. Students Refute Claim That Bible Is Out Of Style Fears which have been prevalent among educators, religious fanatics, parents, and grand parents, that the Bible is becoming unpopular as read- ing material among the younger gen- eration have been proved to be un- founded by an enterprising reporter of The Daily. After carefully pre- paring a questionsire and computing averages with great exactness, he has reached the conclusion that 96 per cent of the students have read the Bible at one time or another. Add to the strength of this argu- ment the fact that out of this 96 per cent who have read the entire book, it may be said that the youth of our universities are not on a decline in spiritual matters. Little preference was indicated for either the New or the Old Testament, most of the students having read por- I tions of both books. Church affilia- tions seemed to have no effect upon what book they have read nor upon the. amount of reading which they had done. In spite of this indication of reli- gion, it was found that 98 percent of those who have read the Bible think that it should be interpretated liber- ally, and with "a grain of salt." ,Qt Pan44rbe 1)1, Slovakian foreign minister opened a new phase of Europe's search for tranquility which probably will take ! the form of lengthy negotiations through regular diplomatic channels.- Only when there is some definite basis for either a partial or general accord on means for securing security along the frontiers will a conference be called to settle details. The outstanding facts of today's ex- changes of views are that France con- siders the League of Nations protocol may yet serve as the means for pro- viding an eventual solution of the se- curity problem, while Mr. Chamber- lain regards it as dead; that any agreement made with a view to guar- anteeing peace will be made with the allies. Both Secretary Chamberlain and Premier Herriot said after their talks there was no question of considering any proposal that would sacrifice the interests of any ally.
