Reinstated Premier Names Ministers (By Associated Press) GENEVA, March 9-A sudden con- Rultation between Sir Austen Cham- berlain, British foreign secretary and Chancellor Luther and b)r. Strese- mann, of the German delegation, im- mediately after receipt of the news from Paris that M. Briand had agreed to form a new cabinet, was the most striking development tonight in the League of Nations council meeting. From German sources emanated the renort that in order to remove the council from the hands of the signa- tories of the Rhine pact and eliminate possible discontent of other members of the league on the grounds that the Rhine signatories were assuming too much responsibility, the British for- eign secretary was anxious to arrange an unofficial meeting between the members of the council and the Ger- mans. Chamberlain Forsalls Crisis In the meantime the assembly lead-, ers headed by Sir Austen Chamberlain succeeded in staving off embarrassing complications by obtaining immediate adjournment of the sub-committee which had been appointed to investi- gate Germany's application for league membership. The rules require the presence of the German delegations to respond to any questions to whether Germany has been fulfilling her in- ternational obligations. "In view of the fact that the Ger- mans have expressed their determi- nation not to enter the league until assured they can enter the council with permanent membership unac- companied by others, the leaders did riot wish to put Germany n the posi- tion of having to refuse to appear be- fore the investigating committee." Interest in the unsettled council crisis wandered momentarily tonight to the question as to whether Geneva will be definitely selected as the home of the League of Nations. The as- sembly must vote credits for the erec- tion of the proposed assembly hall but the still unsolved conflict between Switzerland and Russia over the Vo- rovsky affair had caused some of the delegates to consider whether the league should not be established in a communty which would enjoy clearly defned extra-territorial rights.- The problem came up at a confer-1 ence between Lord Cecil and repre- sentatives of the British dominions. A delegate of one of the dominions suggested the desirability of the cre- ation of a definite territory similar to the District of Columbia which would render impossible the interferences of conflicts between the country which was the seat of the league and other nations.} PARIS, March O.-Aristide Briand who went to Geneva, Saturday a beaten man will in all probability re- turn to the League of Nations dis- cussions at that place Thursday as premier of France again, for the ninth time. M. Briand has accepted President Domergue's invitation to form a ca- binet and he has alreday advanced so far as to choose all his ministers except that man who is to take charge of the delicate financial situation. President Consults Ilerriot The cabinet crisis resolved rapidly1 today. President Domergue ex- hausted all sources of information by noon and immediately summoned Edouard Herriot, former socialist premier to offer him the premiership. The leader of the radical party be- lieved that this was merely courtesy to the head of that party and he promptly declined. He recommended that M. Briand be asked once more to form a new government. M. Herriot told M. Domergue that it was neces- sary to send Briand back to the coun- cil and the League of Nations with all the authority he had when the Locarno pact was negotiated, and the president of the republic passed this idea on to M. Briand when he called at Elysees Palace soon afterward. Furthermore the president informed him that it was his duty to stick by the ship until all financial questions were solved and the franc was saved. The outgoing premier who had en- joyed one good night's rest in four dlays and had already recovered his spirits abandoned hope of being abl Hoover Outlines Possibilities Of Inland Waterways System SUNDAY SERVICES WITH PROMINENT i 4 Vote By HouseI Body Taken On Federal Judge New Dirctor Of 1o0SanCoIAesLIST ---------_-------__"'l",1 6 LAB LE DER TO TALK HERE TODAY CHICAGO, March 9. - Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce to- night outlined a complete inland wat- erways system, pointed out its eon- omic necessity for the Middle West and said he believed a nine foot chan- nel from Chicago to the Gulf was in sight. .He appealed for settlement of the lake level disputes by spending money "on concrete and steel rather than at the lawyers." He addressed the 32nd annual ban- quet of the John Ericson Republican League of Illinois. Secretary Hoover's prepared speech did not touch upon politics. He pictures the Middle West as girdl- ed by a row of toll gates composed of increased rail rates, completion of FISH ERTO DISCUSS FAR-AS Q SUESTION Conprises Second Lecture In School Of Relig'ion Series On Moral Issues Of Modern Life IS NOTED ORIENTALIST Dr. Galen M. Fisher of New York city, noted authority on Japan, will discuss "The Far-Eastern Question in its Relation to Japan", at 4:15 o'clock Thursday, March 11 in Room C, Law building. Dr. Fishers lecture wll comprise the second number of the current series, offered by the Michi- gan School of Religion in connection with Prof. Charles T. Paul's seminar in the moral issues of modern life. The coming lecture is designed as a sequel to the recent address of Dr. Paul Hutchinson, on China. Professor Paul in commenting on the speaker said, "Dr. Fisher is an ex- perienced and eminent authority on Japan, and is particularly competent to discuss the moral problems arising from the modern development of Jap- anese nationalism, and from the im- portant place the Empire holds in in- ternational relations, especially with America. A keen student of the im- migration question, he will doubtless deal with the effects of the Exclusion Act." The Orientalist went to Japan as secretary of the Young Men's Chris- tian Association in 1897 following graduation from the University of California, and Harvard.I He has spent 20 years in the Empire, en- gaged in religious and educational work, with headquarters at Tokyo. Under his direction the Association established branches in 13 cities, and at 25 student centers, including the leading Japanese universities. He de-- veloped a Student's summer assembly at the base of the Sacred Mount Fuji, comparable to the American Lake Geneva. In 1918 Dr. Fisher was one of the organizers of the National Christian Council of Japan, a cooperative union of all Christian agencies, Japanese and foreign, at work in the Empire. He was a director of the Christian Literature society and is famous in Japan as a linguist, translator of works into Japanese, and contributor to Japanese magazines. "Dr. Fisher," Professor Paul said, "through his acquaintance with Japan- ese leaders, is among the foremost promoters of amicable relations be- tween Japan and the United States." ,GONE WILL LECTURE ON PARK USE NDOAUSES Prof. George C. Cone of the land- scape design department will speak at 8 o'clock tonight in the landscape department lecture room, south wing of University hall, on "Park Uses and Abuses." Professor Cone was until recently connected with the O. C. Simonds Landscape company of Chi- cago. Professor Cone's lecture is the first of a series of discussions on land- scape design, that will meet every two weeks. According to Prof. Au- brey Tealdi, head of the landscape design department, these meetings are of vital importance to students enrolled in the professional landscape ' design curriculum.

Railways have reached their highest! efficiency in their history, he said, and further rate reductions cannot be achieved. He visualized two great inland wat- erway systems, the Mississippi system of modern barge lines and the Great Lakes system of ocean steamers, the latter of first importance despite the great economic value of the lakes to the Gulf route, completion of which is in sight.

On the other hand, Gilbert Play Revival Will Open Tonight W. S. Gilbert's "Engaged," present- ed tonight, tomorrow night and Fri- S lay in the Mimes theater, will, ac- cording to its producers, present its audience with the amusing situation, of a triple burlesque. Parody settings, a barnyard for a parlor; costumes in keeping with the settings; and gruff bass voices to represent the sopranos f of the ladies. The cast of ten per- sons, embracing four women char- acters, is entirely composed of men, not with the intention of imitation, but rather comedy-satire. The music, staging and mode of presentation areI all done in the mid-Victorian style that the play represents. The cast that played "Engaged" i last fall as a Mimes production is not in entirety the one to appear in the revived engagement. The changes, four in number, are: Warren Parker, '26, for Earl Sawyer, '26A, in the role of Angus MacAllister, William Mac- 1 Vay, '26M, as Mrs. MacFarlane for Donald Johnson, '26, William Bishop for Barre Hill,' 26, as Major McGilli- cuddy, and Phillip Brooks, '28, for; Valentine Davies,' 27, in the role of the servant. The first mentioned,, Parker, has done much work in De-k troit in the services of Jesse Bon- stelle and is by no means new to the stage. The University women are suport- ing the production and one-half of the proceeds derived from it are to be do-j nated to the fund for the Women's League building. This represents thej contribution of the men's dramaticj organization to the proposed struc- ture. The tickets, advertised on sale at Graham's and Slater's bookstores will be removed to the box office of the Mimes theater at 1 o'clock this afternoon Band will remain on sale there for the entire three perform- ances.

SHEFFIELD SENDS NOTE TO MEXICO i Ambassador Insists That Religiousc Policy Not Interfere Witht American ChurchmenI THREATEN ONE ARREST (By Associated Press)f WASHINGTON, March 9.-Mexico's new policy governing religious teach- ings has brought forth a note fromE Ambassador Sheffield to the Mexican war office insisting that American churchmen should not be made to suffer unduly from its operations. c The note was prepared by the am- bassador after he had received in-I structions from the state department as to the American attitude and ad-a vices that it had been delivered, came coincident with efforts in the Senate to force government departments to furnish information to that body on questions affecting American relations with the southern republic. Threatened arrest in Vera Cruz state of the Rev. F. J. Krill, an Amer- ican Catholic priest was the immedi- ate case taken up by Ambassador Sheffield and he reported that it had been "satisfactorily settled," although the nature of the settlement was not' disclosed. It. was indicated that au- thorities of Jalata were inclined to allow the priest to remain in Mexico. The ambassador's purpose in pre- senting a note to the Mexican govern- ment was largely to put the Wash- ington government on record. The document is believed to concede Mex- ico's right to expel churchmen, but at the same time to make clear the be- lief that American citizens in Mexico whether churchmen or not have the right to expect full consideration and to be given ample time to prepare to leave. MUSCLE SHOALS MEASUREj IN HNDS OF CONFERINCE] (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 9.-Congress today approved appointment of a joint committee to negotiate sides for a private leasing of Muscle Shoals. A resolution drafted to carry out a recommendation of President Coolidge and already adopted by the House was accepted by the Senate, 51 to 26, and sent to conference. The Senate added two amendments. One, by Senator Caraway, Democrat, Ark., would require that surplus power developed at the big war-time project be distributed equally to states adjoining Alabama. The other, by Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis., would give the proposed joint com- mittee until April 26 to submit a pro- posal to Congress for lease of the project, instead of April 1, as voted by the House. Proponents of the resolution, led by Senator Heflin, Democrat, Ala., fought vigorously for its adoption without amendment to avoid the necessity of conference adjustment with the House James Hudson Maurer Is Oniy Mem- ber of His Party Ever Elected To Pentsylvania Legislature James Hudson Maurer, president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor, will speak at 4:15 o'clock today in Natural Science auditorium on the subject, "What Is Wrong with the Coal Industry?" Mr. Maurer, who is a So- cialist, and the first and only member of his. party ever elected to the Penn- sylvania legislature, is coming to Ann Arbor under the auspices of the Round Table club For the past 24 years, Mr. Maurer has been a member of the Socialist party, though he first joined the So- cialist labor party 28 years ago. With but two exceptions he has been a dele- gate to every national convention that the Socialist party have held. In 1906, he was the Socialist party's candidate for governor of Pennsylvania. In 1910, 1914, and 1916, he was elected to the General Assembly of Pennsylvania. As a legislator, he was associated with the introduction of bills such as the Workman's Compensation Act, old age assistance, mothers' pensions, pen- sions for the blind, home rule for cities, factory inspection, and other labor measures. In 1917, Gornor Brumbaugh appointed Mr. Maurer to the chairmanship of the State old age assistance committee, to which posi- tion he was reappointed by Governor Sproul in 1920 and by Governor Pin- chot In 1923 and 1925. studied Under Sherwood Eddy Mr. Maurer was a member of the American commission on conditions in Ireland in 1920, and three years later made a tour of Europe with the American seminar under the direction of Sherwood Eddy. Duringhis 45 years of activity in the labor movements, Mr. Maurer has lectured in many of the states in the Union, and has contributed articles to newspapers and magazines, such as Hearsts', Atlantic Monthly, The Na- tion, and the New York American. In addition to his talk at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Maurer will speak at a luncheon and three class- es in the University today. He will speak at 10 o'clock this morning in room 104 Economics building to the class in Social Insurance which' is taught by Miss Margaret Elliott.

At 3 o'clock this after- noon, Mr. Maurer will meet with the class in 'trade Unionism taught by Prof. Carter Goodrich of the eco- nomics department, in room 408 of the Library. BAES, GOODRICH SPEAK AT SECOND LAW SMOKER Members of the Lawyer's club held their second smoker of the year last night in the lounge room of the club. The club members and their guests, the Law school faculty, were address- ed by Prof. Herbert F. Goodrich and Dean Henry M. Bates of the. Law school, who treated upon some of the recent trends in legal education and the rise in importance of the Law schools of the country. Judge Frank Murphy of Detroit, who was to have addressed the club, was unable to be present due to the critical illness of his father. He stat- ed in a telegram that he would be very willing to speak before the Lawyer's club at a future date. In his absence Prof. Goodrich spoke, tracing some of the more recent developments in legal education. He called attention to the change in the study of law from the old "rule and regulation" method to the more modern study by case. Pro Goodrich emphasized the importance of the Law schools in interpreting and formulating opinion upon legal prob- lems existing today. Dean Bates touched upon the value of adequate and selective preparation in the study of case law and showed how its value increased with business legal problems. He spoke especially of the worth of scientific research to the lawyer. As part of the program Russel A. l Gohring, '27, sang several numbers, 1 ,f f Ll i i, .f r r "Campus confessions" will furnish the theme of the March issue of Gar- goyle, campus humor publication, which will be placed on sale to- day. The edition, called the "Cam- pus Confessions" number, will be an exact replica, from cover to cover, of the type of magazine that has been especially prominent on the news- stands in recent years. The staff has attempted to make this edition the most unique Gargoyle of the year, by imitating make-up, ma- terial, and illustrations of the mod- ern sensational monthly.
