Afternoon Convocation For
All Students-
Increased authority for the student
government of the University and
complete power to decide all cases of
student discipline which are now con-
sidered by the Administrative board
of the University was requested by
the Student council last night, in two']
petitions addressed to the Senate
Committee on Student Affairs. The
committee will pass on the council's
requests at its meeting either tomor-
row or Monday.
T e hfirst petition, which was unani-
mou ly adopted by the council, asks
that the three students who are now i
invited to attend meetings of the Sen-w
ate Committee on Student Affairs be1
allowed to vote and exercise authorityo
equal to that of the faculty members
of the committee. The petition also e
requests that the three students who c
are at present merely invited to listen w
to meetings of the Discipline commit-
tee of the University be granted au-
thority equal to that of the facultym
members of that group.!t
Seek Disciplinary Power w
The second petition, also addressed
to the Senate Committee on Student
Affairs, asks that the Student council!
be given complete contrdl of all dis- 
ciplinary cases coming before the Ad-C
ministrative board .of the University, 1
except those now handled by the honor(
councils of the engineering and Medi- "
cal schools. Favorable action on thisr
petition will place action in all cases
of cheating on examinations and simi-
lar infractions of University rules Ij
completely in the hands of the council.'

extent which it is capable of reaching,s
and which it will reach if the powerst
requested in the petitions are grantedc
by the University officials.f
Request Monthly Convocation n
At its meeting last night, the coun-e
cil also addressed a request, to be
considered at the next meeting of theC
deans of the University, asking that a
monthly convocation of all students
be held at Hill auditorium, at 11
o'clock, on a different day of the week
each month. By rotating the days of
the week, these convocations would
not conflict with classroom work
enough to warrant objection on thats
score. The effect of these meetings,n
open to all students of the University,
would be, in the opinion of the coun-i
cil, the strengthening of a group spiritr
at Michigan that is being lost with
the increased size of the University.
Prominent men, both on the campus t
and visitors, will be asked to address1
these meetings, according to the plans'
of the council.x
The comnmittee of the council that
is working on the plans for a Burton
memorial, which was started by the
Student council of last year, is at-
tempting to secure three speakers oft
national prominence to address the
student body at Hill auditorium. A
small admission price would be1

charged, and the proceeds devoted to
the memorial fund, which will be used
for the purchase of the $17,000 chimes
to be placed in the campanile, br
whatever building is-selected to house
the University's memorial to its lateI
President. The money collected by1
the various classes, which is also to I
be placed in this fund, will not reach
the desired quota for a number of
years without aid.
Charles Oakman, '26, William Col-
man, '26, and Charles Grube, '26, were
selected to consider the reorganiza-
tion of Michigan's football cheering
section for the 1926 season, and also.
to study the system of ticket distribu-
tion. It is probable that if the cheer-
ing section composed of "M" men,
which will be tried during the bas-
ketball season, is successful, a simi-
lar arrangement may be used as thie
nucleus of the football cheering or-
ganization.

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Proceed-
ngs of the Mitchell court martial
were enlivened today by suggestions
f impeachment and perjury and a
motion that one of the prosecution
counsel be placed in contempt of
court. Added to these irregularities
were questions of courage, renewed
demand by the court for order, and
mixed manifestations of commenda-
ion and displeasure by spectators
who crowded the room.
Maj. Allen Gullion, assistant trial
judge advocate, stood out as the prin-
ipal figure in the turbulent forenoon
session. It was he who introduced

witness brought from duty with the

'deliberately cribbed" without "per-
mission or authority" substantial
parts of the book "Winged Defense."
Before the court ruled out the ma-
jor's plea and other references to the
book's authorship, he argued that the
evidence he sought to offer was "ad-
missible to impeach the accused as a
witness." To this Rep. Frank R. Reid,
chief defense counsel, replied with
heat, advising the court that there
was nothing in the records to suggest
Colonel Mitchell had perjuredl .him-
self, and asserting that the book con-
tained passages showing it had been
compiled from information taken
from "existing records," public jour-
nals, congressional data, and personal
experiences of the writer.

GENEVA, Dec. 9.-England and
France today reached an accord con-
cerning study of the problem of mu-
tual assistance in wartime, in connec-
tion with the preparations for the in-
ternational disarmament conference.
After a secret meeting of the
League of Nations council, M. Paul-
Boncour of France announced that
Foreign Minister Benes of Czecho-
Slovakia had been appointed to draft
{ a formula covering the question
which divided the British and French.
Reveals Advantages
He explained that the study of
mutual assistance would be more
flexible than originally proposed by
the French, thus intimating that a
compromise had been reached.
The impression is growing that
England favors separation of the
study of land naval armaments, keep-
ing the road open for a possible sec-
ond naval conference in Washington,
while France continues to regard the
disarmament problem as one and in-
separable.
Urge Action on Syria
Immediate action by the League of
Nations council to check alleged
French misuse of the mandate over
Syria is urged by Isham Djabir Bey,
representing the Arab-Palestine con-
gress. lie appealed to Signor Scialo-
la, president of the council, today for
the right to appear before the league
body and present the Syrian demands.
He also asks French abandonment
of the mandate and extension of the
right of autonomy to the Syrian peo-
ple, who are willing, however, to
grant concessions, notably for the
continuance of French control in
financial and other matters.
A further demand is that the French
cease their military operations in the
Druseterritory and retire to the
Lebanon. A

GENEVA, Dec. 9.-President Cool-

the proposed disarmament conference,
as reported here, was the outstanding
topic of the discussion in League of
I Nations circles today. It was even
I discussed at a sceret session of the
fleague council.
It is understood that the members
introduced the subject because of
President Coolidge's utterance that
the United States would not care to
attend a conference, which from its
location or constituency would in all
probability prove futile.
A general exchange of views en-
- sued, but officials of the league an-
l nounced tonight that President Cool-

ed at Geneva as an allusion to the
e undesirability of Geneva as the seat

e ment to join the proposed commission

PARIS, Dec. 9.-Henry Berenger,E
the French ambassador-designate toI
the United States, expects to sail for
New York at the end of December orr
early in January,
"I am going to Washington to rep-r
resent the French republic and not
merely to deal with a particular ques-E
tion," said M. Berenger today. "My
desire is to serve the interest of my.
country and in doing so, always to
be inspired by the policies of its gov-
ernment-those- same Pacific policies
of which Locarno is a symbol and thef
Quai D'Orsay the champion.
"I shall strive in all ways to con-
form to the French policy of peace,
which moreover is a world policy, and{
also is the very policy which Presi-
dent Coolidge, with lofty views and
nobility of soul, has just expressed in
his message.-

PARIS, Dec. 9.-French taxpayers
are called upon in the two financial'
bills Louis Loucheur, minister of fin-
ance, has placed before parliament to
produce seven billion francs more next
year to balance the budget and in-
stitute a public debt sinking fund.
In his preamble M. Loucheur af-
firms that taxation is the only way
to obtain the necessary money. Loans
he declares, long have been fore-
doomed to failure, and to continue the
policy of inflation pursued during the
current year might lead the country
to ruin.
The first bill provides for funds to
balance the budget and exceptional
revenues with which to found the sink-
ing fund created by the second bill;

ported finding a ten-gallon still and
large quantities of molasses mash for
rum in Horton's home.
Governor Donahey not only ordered'
the board of trustees to dismiss Mr.
Horton as an instructor, but also to
investigate reports that other faculty
members made a practice of drinking
at Horton's home.
Reports of "drinking parties at fra-,
ternity houses, university dances and]
student social gatherings", also were
included in the governor's orders for
investigation as well as possibility of
communist principles being adhered
to by any faculty members. The re-
port of assistant prohibition commis-
sioner, S. A. Propst, which the gov-
ernor transmitted to the board of di-
rectors stated that Mr. Horton is in
sympathy with the principles of com-
munism.

Is Noted Psychiatrist
Regarded as one of the foremost
psychiatrists in the country, Dr. White
has held the superintendency of St.
Elizabeth'sthospital for eleven years
following a comparatively short stay
on the medical staff of the State Hos-
pital at Binghamton, New York.
He has taught at both Georgetown
and George Washington universities'
as a professor of nervous and mental
diseases for more than 20 years.
Dr. White has made a great number
of contributions to medical journals
and at the present time is the co-edi-
tor of the Psychoanalytic Review. He
was made an honorary member of
Alpha Omega Alpha at the initiation
of the society held last night at the

worked until dark. Before resuming
debate on the revenue measure, it re-
ceived the budget message of Presi-
dent Coolidge recommending an in-
crease in next fiscal year's appropria.,
tion of $160,000,000 over the year.
While bills continued to pour into
the hopper, many proposing to carry
out proposals urged by the President
in his message read to Congress yes'
terday, some of the House committees
were already at work whipping the
measures into shape. Chairman Mad-
den of the appropriations committee
promised to supply bills by next week,
which leaders said would be taken up
immediately upon passage of the tax
bill.
Hear Debate On Taxes
A large representation of members
listened attentively today to four
hours of debate on taxes in the House,
which included the first assaults on
the non-partisan bill drafted by the
ways and means committee to slash
the federal tax burden by $325,000,000
next year.
Representative Rainey, of Illinois, a
Democratic member of the committee,
declared he would not support the
meaure "unless materially changed,"
and, with Representative Hull, of Ten-
nessee, another Democratic member
of the committee, urged a lesser re-
duction in the surtax rates and
elimination of the provision to in-
crease the personal exemptions from
$2,500 to $3,500 for married persons
and $1,000 to $1,500 for single persons.
Instead, they would repeal all of the
war excise taxes and special levies
on various aforms ofdbusiness which
they declared were "purely war
taxes."
Committeemen Lend Support
Other members of the committee,
including Representatives Hawley,
Oregon, and Mills, New York, Repub-
licans, and Dickinson, Democrat, Mis-
souri, came to the defense of the
measure. Each admitted he was not
in accord with every provision of the
bill, but that they endorsed it "in its
entire."
With passage of the measure, al-
most without change, particularly as-
sured by the end of next week because
of the bi-partisan support, Chairman
Smoot announced today he would call
the Senate finance committee together
Jan. 2 to begin work on it. A report
of the measure to the Senate by 'Jan.
15 was set as the goal for his commit-
tee by Mr. Smoot, who said this would
give every opportunity to the Senate
to act on it and permit it to become
law by March 1, in accordance with
the desire of President Coolidge.
Enactment of the bill by that time
will permit income tax payers to take
advantage of the proposed cuts in
these schedules when first install-
ments fall due March 15.
Honorary Medical
Society Initiates
Initiation of new members was
held last night at the Union by Al-
pha Omega Alpha, national honorary
medical fraternity. Philip D. Ama-
don, Meyer S. Berman, Robert R.

Besides the six students who be-
came members, Dr. James D. Bruce,

partment in the Medical school, and
Prof. Howard B. Lewis of the physio-
