No attempt was made, to even partially restore the figures to the original request of more than $3,000,000. The 'amount designated would expend $900,000 for a museum and equipment and $400,000 for land. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it is rumored some endeavor to secure increases will be made. The House, speeding along for an early adjorunment so the members might attend a counter attraction in the shape of a boxing match passed half a dozen other appropriation bills, by attaching the affirmative roll call. They included the Michigan Agricul- tural college building and improve- ment bill calling for $1,041,000, the maintainance and operation bill for the same institution with a total of $520,-, 00'0, the department of public safety bill providing $90,000 for the construe- tion of barracks of the state police and the Newberry State hospital main-, Ann Arbor's Mayor' Photo by Rentschler * Robert Campbell.

Broad aspects of the instruction to be given the American delegates al- ready have been considered by Secre- tary Kellogg in conference with Sec-j retaries Weeks, Wilbur, and Hoover,I and the continued study is expected to produce detailed proposals for such modifications in the tentative conven- tions to be considerated at Geneva asI are deemed necessary to bring it into closer harmony with American policy. The delegates, who are yet to be' named by President Coolidge, will be assisted in Geneva by expert advisors including army and navy officers of' rank, representatives of the commerce department and authorities on inter- national law and practice. The tentative convention was draft- ed to make effective projects of arms traffic control originally proposed in the St. Germain agreement which proved unacceptable to several powers, including the United States. The new proposal is confined strictly to con- trol of the arms traffic and the invita- tion to the Geneva meeting was ac- cepted by the Washington government on that basis.
