MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1925 EIGHT PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS MICHIGAN BREAKS MID-EST DEBTE AFFIRMATIVE TEAM DEFEATED HERE; NEGATIVE WINS AT URBANA E. E. DAY PRESIDES Professors I. L. EwbankJ ludges Here And W. M. Paull At Illinois BULLETIN Urbana, Ill., March 20 (By Special Wire).-The University of Michigan debating team tonight defeated Illinois in the annual Mid-West triangular de- bate. Prof. W. R. Paull, of the Uni- Versity of Illinois, served as the sole judge of the encounter, and decided the win for Michigan. Representatives from Wisconsin, up- hlding the negative side of the ques- tion, "Resolved that the Proposed Child Labor Amendment to the Na- tional Constitution should be adopted by the United States," received the judge's decision in the tenth annual Mid-West debate, held last night .in Hill auditorium. Prof. H. L. Ewbank, of Albion college, was official judge. Members of the winning team in- cluded Miss Virginia North, Robert Sher, and George Fiedler. Michigan was represented by 1. F. Wahren- brock, '2L, F. P. Weaver, '26, and R. B. Fulton, '26. Dean Edmund E. Day, of the school of business admn- istration, was presiding officer of the debate, substituting for Luman W. Goodenough, of Detroit, who was un- able to attend the contest. The affirmative team set forth the fundamental arguments that the his- tory of child labor demonstrates that the problem is not being solved, that the states have proven incapable of dealing with the child labor situation, an thirdly, that the question of child laor is a national problem and should be settled by national legislation, as opposed to arguments that child labor should be controlled by the individ- ual states Opposed to these arguments, mem- bers of the negative 4eam claimed that there is no serious child labor pro- blem, that the states ave handled the problem successfully, and further- more an amendment to the national constitution is inherently undesirable. In defense of the latter statement the negative maintained that a federal minimum child labor regulation would tend to become a maximum for the states, that it would strike a blow -at self-government, and would be either unnecessary or unenforceable. The affirmative contended that there still exists a problem of child labor demanding solution as evinced by fig- ures quoted from the 1920 census, which record 480,000 children between i the ages of 10 and 15 employed in gainful occupations. Furthering their contention that state laws are inadequate, members of the affirmative maintained that sev- eral states have refused to protect children under their jurisdiction and the problem therefore becomes one of national scope; they are citizens of the United States. It was also affrm- ed that without the incentive of a minimum national regulation there existed a danger that states, wherein child labor laws had been enacted, would tend to repeal or reduce these regulations. The negative presented statistics whereby it was stated that child labor has decreased to the extent that, were a federal law enforced to the maxi- mum, only 65,000 children could pos- sibly beaffected. And this was sup- ple mented with additional arguments to the effect that there has been no substantial increase in child labor since the repeal of the original child labor laws. Granting that there exists a certain irreducible minimum of child labor that can not be removed, as proven by those states in which there are strin- gent child labor regulations, the neg- ative asked the question: "How can1 the federal government alleviate the situation in 1925 when, under similar eircumstances, it failed in 1920?" It was further contended that it would be impossible to construct a national law that would be applicable to all cases. In previous forensic meetings under the rulings of the Mid-West league, Michigan has received decisions over Wisconsin debating teams on all but three occasions.

Just what the lineup for the de- cisive balloting schedules for April 26 will be is wholly conjectural, they are awaiting the outcome of the pre- liminary voting before discussing a possible merger of the selection of a common standard bearer for the final tests. Theaappearance of General Luden- i dori'f as an eleventh hour contender had visibly distressed the campaign managers, and his party organ today refrained from mentioning the quar- termaster-general. FINISH TESTIMONY INOTED OIL[CASE Documents Sent By Admiral (leaes to Denby Withheld in Teapot Dome Trial TO DECIDE POSSESSION Cheyenne, Wyo., March 20.-(By A. P.)-Taking of testimony upon which Federal Judge T. Blake Kennedy will decide who is entitled to the posses- sion of Teapot Dome was ended in fed- eral court here late today. Only clos- ing arguments remain to be delivered and these will begin Monday. Tension was added to the case this afternoon when Rear Admiral Julian L. Latimer, judge-advocate-general of the Navy, appeared for former secre- tary of the navy Edwin Denby in re- sponse to a subpoena by the defense. He produced certificates from Secre- taries Wilbur and Kellogg to keep from the court record certain docu- ments of the Navy department, said to deal with the Navy's war plans and the international situation. Judge Kennedy granted the request after consel for the defense from Rear Admiral Latimer had argued the mat-.. ter briefly. The navy's legal counsel-. er was excused without giving testi. mony. When Rear Admiral Latimer ap- peared he was asked by defense coun- sel if he had -produced certain records of the Navy department as ordered by sub poena, and he replied that he had produced only a part of them. Questioned as to the reason, he pro- duced and read the statement of Sec- retaries Kellogg and Wilbur. The certificate of Secretary Wilbur said that of the documents requested, 45 dispatches, 51 letters, 50 reports, and 5 memoranda had been withheld because they contained matter of a confidential nature sent from Rear Admiarl Albert Gleaves to the secre- tary of the navy between Sept. 15, 1920, and March 1, 121. At that time, Ad- miral Gleaves was commander of the Pacific fleet. COOLIDGE CONSIDERS MILLERRESIGNATION Washington, Mar. 20.-President Coolidge is considering the resignation of Thomas W. Miller as alien property PlaI n sulssuAUeo sl pue 'iueposno o men proposed for the post but thus far has made no selection. Mr. Miller first admitted his resig- nation several months ago when elect- ed president of the Fidac, and, Inter- national World War veterans' organi- zation and renewed it several days ago when he announced he was leaving for Europe to take active charge of the organization affairs. Instead of accepting the resignation at the time it was first submitted, the president asked him to take a leave of absence. Now, however, he is considering a list of names for the appointment includ- ing W. W. Wilson, general counsel to the custodian, and Sewell W. Ab- bott, managing director of the custo- dian's office. COOLIDGE FAORS UNION oF PROHIBITION FORCES Washington, March 20.-The federal government, in the opinion of Presi- dent Coolidge, must depend on the co- operation of state and local authorities if the prohibition law is to be enforced3 adequately.

"If the Regents can see me for the vacancy, I will make of Michigan the leading University of the world," says Dr. Lovell. "I believe that practical knowledge should be stressed, rather than the more theoretical subjects" he continued, asserting that the pres- ent program would be continued under his regime with a stronger emphasis placed upon the more material sides of life. The communication, addressed to the Regents of the University, follows: I "Honorable gentlemen: "No doubt you remember in Eng-1 land's history that there was a Sir Thomas Lovell and a Lord Lovell and both of them were very powerful in their day.

Stoneman 1More than 200 high school track athletes, representing 22 schools, will gather in Yost field house this after- noon and tonight for the first annual Michigan interscholastic indoor track and field meet under the auspices of the Athletic association. The prelim- inaries of the meet, which is the first of its kind ever to be held in the state, will begin at 2:30 o'clock this after- noon, while the finals will begin at 7:30 o'clock tonight. The class of prep track stars in three states will be present at today's meet, and a number of high schools In Michigan, Illinois, and Ohiochave entered powerful squads. Detroit Northwestern, Saginaw Eastern, and Detroit Eastern promise to be the best of the Michigan schools, while Toledo Waite, Toledo Scott, and Austin high of Chicago are the most likely of the outside schools entered. Kalamazoo Central also has a team which may come through with enough points' to take the title. Other state schools en- tered in the meet are Ann Arbor, Wy- andotte, Flint, Kalamazoo Normal, U. of D. high, Highland Park, Detroit Southwestern, Northern, Northeastern, Central and Cass Tech, Niles, Battle Creek, and Fairgrove. Chicago Brings Stars Austin high of Chicago will bring a nine man team to the meet In an attempt to beat the Michigan squads. Frank Palumbo, Cook county mile champion, who has been caught. in 4:49, and Antone Brown, quarter miler who has run the distance in 55 on a 13 lap track, will be two of the surest point getters on the team, while Chap- man, city champion in the 50 yard dash with a mark of 5 2-5 seconds, is as good as anyone In Michigan inter- scholastic circles. Wilkin, half miler, and Holden, pole vaulter, are also good bets for points. The other outside schools are not likely to make very selrious advances at the tilte. Toledo Scott, with only one former letter man at- the meet, will be weaker than usual, although the coach has entered 19 men. Scott will be a little stronger than the other Toledo school, and may be able to land one of the first places. Detroit Northwestern, with the city title already gained this year, will be the favored team in today's affair. Captain James Tait, city dash cham- pion, and Glen Carlson, a shot putter with a mark of 45 feet 11 inches to his credit, will make the going hard for their competitors, while Seeger is almost certain to take the half mile. Widman, the best hurdler in the city of Detroit, and Ross, a great sprinter, should also be able to take some points. The other Detroit schools will enter large squads in the -hope of tak- ing the meet, Eastern having one of the strongest combinations. Myers will be the best bet for the Indians with his all around ability. Ise is a steady performer in the high jump and the shot put. Other Entries Other schools which are expected to make strong showings in tonight's meet are Saginaw, with Crego as its individual star, Ann Arbor with' a half dozen promising young athletes, and Flint with Harrell as its star. Several other schools which will not enter enough men to take the title are al- most certain to take points. Cold- water will be one of these, Leroy Potter of that school being- the best miler in the state high school circles. He has a record of 4:37 as his best time in the event and will endeavor to set a lower mark tonight as the mneet record. All winning times made in the meet tonight will be recorded by the author- ities, and will stand as meet records until the next carnival is held. A competent group of officials have been secured 'as judges and timers, and the prep athletes will perform under all the atmosphere which generally attends a' large college meet. Ted Canty of Chicago, famous as the an- nouncer at all Big Ten track meets, will be on hand to keep the crowd in spirits. The events in today's meet will be as follows: 50 yard dash, 440 yard 3 dash, 880 yard run, mile run, 60 yard high hurdles, 60 yard low hurdles, f h vurles a4,--, ma I is original, your teaching is simple, University.
