Baldwin, director of the American Civil Liberties union, New York, who spoke yesterday after- noon in Natural Science auditorium, under the auspices of the Round Table club. John Elliott, '26, presi- dent of the club introduced the speaker.f "From small beginnings in locking up pacifists and reds, the United States has progressed now to making crimes of the teaching of evolution, and of the failure to teach the Bible. One state recently punished the ad- vopacy of social equality between whites and blacks. Another has just dug up and used an ancient blasphemy law in the first case of its sort to be tried in almost a century." Mr. Baldwin gave as the reason that fewer people are going to jail today for expressing their opinions, the fact that intolerance is so entrenched, that people do not have to be locked up to control their heresies. He said that fear and hate of all minorities are the settled habit of mind of the coun- try; reds, Negroes, aliens, Catholics and Jews all feel the majority taboo upon them. Intolerance Is Recent "Within the last 10 years this wid-- spread intolerance has been built up," continued Mr. Baldwin. "The war did not cause it; it's cause is the Russian revolution with its challenge to the existing property system. Bolshevism Is the issue which has aroused the propertied classes to the defense of things as they are all over the world. Our controlling classes distrust our democracy, belittle Congress, and glor- ify the executive and the Supreme court. This central fact in the eco- nomic conflict is reflected in the ef- fort of all groups in power to hold on to their privileges, and to write these privileges into law. It accounts for the Klan's attempt to compel all children to go to public schools, and in the Fundamentalist attack on sci- entific teaching." Mr. Baldwin said that the United States Supreme court has approved every repressive law that has come before it since the war, andthat there is only one issue still to be decided, and that is whether a state can make it a crime to belong to an organization which teaches doctrines prohibited by law, and that this case will be decided by the court within the next few weeks. "The evolution case in Tennessee will be argued this month in the Su- preme court of that state," said Mr. Baldwin, "and the American Civil Lib- erties union, which handled the case last summer at Dayton, will carry it, if necessary, to the United States Su- preme court. Since Texas and Miss- issippi both have similar laws, it is essential that we get the issue square- ly before the highest court. Similarly, the compulsory Bible reading laws oill get before the Court in cases brought by Catholic, Jewish, and Quaker parents who object to this new union of church and state."I California Strong The prosecution of radicals is His Senatorial Seat Threatened Sen. Smith W. 'Brooklart BROHATCLAIM' States That under No Interpretation Of Law Or Voters Intent Has He Right To Membership STEPHENS WILL SPEAK (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 5. - Opening debate , in the Iowa election contest,{ Senator Caraway, Democrat, Arkan- sas, today challenged the claim of Sen- ator Brookhart, a Republican, to a seat in the Senate.1 Under no interpretation of the law or the voters intent or in any other way, he contended, has Mr. Brookhart a right to membership. Daniel F. t Steck, Democrat, was elected in 1924, he added, and should be seated. Senator Caraway said the commit- tee majority in recommending the un- seating of Brookhart had decided the case on the basis of the "intent of the1 voter" and that if legal technicalities were to be used, the majority of the voters in their state would be dis- franchised. le added that Senator Brookhart had approached nearly every Senator to personally argue the case, while. Mr. Steck had not been introduced to a single Senator. Senator Stephens, Democrat, Mississippi, who drew up the report favoring Mr. Brookhart, will open debate for the committee minority tomorrow. SAMUEL DICKE Y WILL SPEAK TO RELIGION GROUP Samuel Dickey, professor of the new testament at the University of Chi- cago, and formerly professor at Mc- Cormick Theological seminary, of' Chicago, will give an open lectureE on "Jesus' Program and Why It Was Rejected" at 4:15 o'clock tomorrow in the- Natural Science auditorium. His appearance here is under the aus- pices of the School of Religion. Professor Dickey is the author of "The Constructive Revolution of Jesus," and is a contributor to va- rious theological reviews. He is a graduate of Princeton, and of the Princeton Theological seminary. In, LA W SHOOL GIVEN' GIFT oF $35OOO BY DETROIT LAWYERS 1 ONEY IS CIVEN IN MEMfORY OF HENRY M. 'CAPBELL, 'TL LATE PARTNER BATES COM MENTS Income Will Gve Cash Prize Awards To Finalists In Moot Court Competition Contests Surviving partners of the lab firm of Campbell, Bulkley, and Ledyard, of Detroit, have made a gift of $3,000 to the Law school in memory of their late partner, Henry M. Campbell, '78L, who died. March 17, Dean Henry M. Bates of the Law school, announced late yesterday. The money will be held in trust and the income will be used for the payment of cash prizes amounting to $150, which are paid each year to the finalists in the moot court competition of the Law school. "The gift will be most useful in stimulating one of the most interest- ing activities of school," said Dean Bates, "and it is especially gratifying in view of the persona associations with this Law school of not only Mr. Campbell, but of several of his part- ners. Henry M. Campbell was the son of former Justice Campbell of the Michigan Supreme court, who was the first dean of the Law school, taking office in 1859." "Mr. Campbell himself, his brother Charles H. Campbell, Henry C. Bulk- ley, Charles H, L'Hommedieu, Wilson W. Mills, and Selden S. Dickinson, partners of the firm, are graduates of this Law school. Mr. Bulkley was a members of the Board of Regents for several years andl in that capacity was chairman of the committee in re- lation to the Law school." "Mr. Campbell ," concluded Dean Bates, "was a brother of the late Ed- ward D. Campbell, for many years di- rector of the chemistry department. le was graduated from the litrary~ college in 1876, from the Law school in 1878, and in 1916 received the hon- orary degree of doctor of laws." Final arguments in the moot court competition for 1926, the prizes for which will be paid by the Campbell fund, will be held tomrrow in the lounge room of the Lawyers' club. The argument will be judged by Dean Bates and possibly two justices of the state Supreme court. Prizes of $50 will be awarded to each mem r of the winning team and $25 to each man on the runners-up. Of the four clubs in the annual contest, Holmes, Kent, Marshall, and Story, the Story and Kent clubs will take part in the finals. Jerome Mikesell, '27L, and Robert Conder, '27L, will represent the Story club while Elmer Salzman, '27L, and Phillip O'Hanlon, '27L, will argue for the Kent club in tomorrow's contest. The subject of the argument is al contract problem-whether a person i I who cancels a contract can recover money which he has already advanc- fed under the terms of the contract. The four case clubs have a member- ship of more than 100 and carry on arguments during the year. April Inlander Contains Prize Winning Article "Adrift on a Bed," by Everett Part- ridge, Grad., is the leading article in the April Inlander which will be placed on sale today at the bookstores and in the lobby of Angell hall. This is the prize winning essay in the con- test conducted by The Inlander which has been judged by John Farrar, edi- { tor of the Bookman to be the best of those submitted. BYRD ARCTIC EXPEDITION STARTS TRIP INTO NORTI -E.(By Asociatd Press) I NEI' YORK, April 5.-The j Byrd Arctic expedition started {from Brooklyn navy yard today for the frozen North and the land of the midnight sun. IThe steamship Cantier sailed after Commander Richard E. Byrd and the 54 members of the expedition, aided by blue-jackets from the navy yard had labored at high speed to stow below the the decks the two airplanes with which the explorers plan to fly over the north pole. A huge throng cheered the I expedition on its way. The navy yard band rendered the Star { Spangled Banner, and Auld I Lang tSyne and, vessels in the harbor with whistles and sirensj paid parting respect to the way-{ farers. j A humble, but memory stirring{ witness to the Chantier's de- parture was the former steam-3 ship Roosevelt which carried Ad- miral Peary into the Arctic when he discovered the north pole. I The Roosevelt now is a lowly I tug boat, stationed at Staten{ island. The Chantier's destination was Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, whence the first flight will be made, to Peary land, 440 miles to the northwest. There, a flying base will be established from which the explorers hope to make an 850 mile flight around the pole and back. BORAB NWEST BISHOPS' PROTEST Senator Says Those Having Interest In Turkey Facr Ratification And Speedy Action OPPOSES RELIGION ISSUE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 5.--There are good and wholly sufficient reasons why the treaty of Lausanne should be ratiied, Chairman Borah, of the Senate foreign relations committee declared in a reply sent today to the protest of 110 bishops of the Episco- pal church against ratification of that pact with Turkey. "Americans living and having in- terests in Turkey are, so far as T know, all in favor of ratification and urge slpeedly action," wrote Senator Borah. "Our, religious, educational and business interests combine in asking that the treaty be ratified. It does not seem to be either wise or in any sense justice upon the part of the. government to leave this interest and these people without treaty protec- tion. t "In your protest you say that we should not resume friendly relations with an avowedly unrepentant and anti-Christian government. To refuse friendly relations with all peoples who reject Christianity is not only unthink- able for a practical course for the government to secure, but I had al- ways supposed that the great object of Christianity in international affairs was to establish friendly relations not only with other Christian nations, but with the anti-Christians, that they might be brought in touch with the teachings of Christianity and there- fore be brought to accept its benign precepts. "Can we be of any possible service to our own people in Turkey or can we hope to have any influence in shaping policy along humanitarian or religious lines in that particular re- gion of the world if we break off all relationships and sustain no method or manner 'of ordinary communica- tions?" COMMITTEE BEGINS~ REAL INQUIRY OF PROHIBITION LAWS ORATORY FLOODS SENATE AS WETS PRESENT CASE TO JUDICIAl, BODY ANDREWS ON STAND Dry Field 31ars'hal Makes Clear His Policy To Attack Supply Sources; Will Stop Smuggling (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 5.-Argu- ments against the 18th amendment and the Volstead act rolled in today upon the Senate judiciary sub-com- mittee at the opening of the first real Congressional inquiry into the work- ings of statutory prohibition. A flood of oratory was furnished largely by such wet leaders as Senators Bruce, Democrat, Maryland, and Edge, Re- publican, New Jersey. It preceded testimony which will be offered dur- ing the next five days in the effort to convince the committee that modifica- tion of the law is essential to the pub- lie welfare. After Senators Bruce and Edge, and Julian Codman, of Boston, who has charge of the wet case, had made' statements to the sub-committee, As- sistant Secretary Andrews of the Treasury, upon whose shoulders rest the responsibility for dry law enforce- ment, was called ,as the first witness. As the committeemen filed into the hearing room they found it turned temporarily into a moving picture studio with Kleig lights flanking the long committee table, a group of camera men waiting to take close tps of the committee and witnesses before the hearing got under way. After sitting through two hours of wet oratory, Assistant Secretary An- drews took the oath and submitted to questioning by Mr. Codman. The pro- hibition field marshal made clear his policy to dry up the sources of supply, but conceded that he would nave to have a largely increased force to do The federal forces are not concern- ing themselves much with distribu- tors, Mr. Andrews said, leaving that task to the local police. He said it was useless to arrest a bootlegger "because his brother or his uncle" would take up the traffic where the arrested man left off. Disclosing a lplan for a patrol of 1,500 to 1,600 men on the Canadian and Mexican borders, General Andrews said he believed this force would break up any organized smuggling traffic. STRA USS GIVEN BAIL RELEASE PENDING TRIAL Alexander P. Strauss, arrested on a charge of larceny in connection with the fake holdup of the Majestic the- ater March 8, was released on a $4,000 bond yesterday afternoon pending trial in the Circuit court. No bail has as yet been produced for Mrs. Strauss arrested on a similar charge, or Robert L. McHenry, Jr., on an embezzlement charge. The bond for Strauss was furnished by his parents. When arraigned before Justice John D. Thomas Saturday, the trio waived examination and their case was held over for the Circuit court. Although they expressed their desire to go be- fore Judge George W. Sample and have their case settled as soon as pos- sible, Prosecutor William M. Laird late yesterday afternoon said he had { no information that they would be brought into court today. If they do not plead guilty they cannot be tried G until April 13, ten days from the date their case is filed. Prosecutor Laird has been ill for several days and was not back at his office until yesterday. It is possible, however, lie said, for them to have their hearing today if they wishto plead guilty. ,DR HENDERSON BEGINS tEXTENSION TAL SERIES Dr. W. D.

MORHOCCO REPORTS PEACE PROGRESS Proposed Meeting At Rabat May Brhig Negotiations Between French And Abd-El-Krim SPANISH REJECT TERMS (By Associated Press) PARIS, April 5.-The French gov- ernment is ready for either peace or war in Morocco and while its leaders have made known their preference for peace, they are counting about equally on the chances of peace and war. However, reports of progress toward cessation of war came from Morocco. The persistent effort of Abd-El-Krim, leader of the insurgent Rifilans, to get into negotiations with the French finally have come to a point where it is likely that his emissaries soon will meet representatives of the Sultan and the French protectorate at Rabat. In official circles here, however, it is pointed out that it is in the Spanish 1 zone that peace must be made and, that the Riffians continue to insist on terms which the Spaniards reject. The representative of Abd-El-Krim, at Rabat, the Riffian chief, seems to want to talk with the French alone and this is a complication which must be met before negotiations are possi- ble. The French are willing to under- take pourparlers for both themselves and the Spaniards, but it must determ- ined before hand on what conditions the Spaniards and Riffians are willing to negotiate. The French resident general in Mo- I -rocco, J. Steeg, earnestly desires peace. War Minister Painleve 'also is known to be strongly in favor of straining a point to satisfy the Rif- fians, because the Moroccan opera- tions are weighing heavily upon theJ scanty war budget and tieing up war material that may be needed in Syria. France, however, is the representative of the sultan and its own protectorate area alone, and cannot speak for the area of the Riff. Thus far Krim insists on absolute autonomy for the Riff under the re- ligious authority of the sultan--alone, while the Spaniards declare they can give autonomy only under Spanish control. Principal Feature To Be Presentation Of Traditional Oil Can By Prof. 0. J. Campbell Dignity will be left at home tonight when some 250 faculty members, newspapermen, students, and other guests of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalistic fraternity, gather in the assembly hall of the Union to write in Michigans history another chapter of the annual Grid- iron Knight's banquet. It will be the fourth function of Its kind in Ann Arbor, the only banquet where pro- fessor and student mingle on the same intellectual plane. Although the dress tonight is for- mal, the affair is the most informal of any banquet giyen on the campus. Razzing will be plentiful, and the more prominent the individual, the greater will be the fusillade made against him. The feature of the banquet will con- clude the program, It will be the presentation of the traditional Oil Can, now recognized as a distinctive sym- bol of honor. Prof. 0. J. Campbell of the English department will be the donor, having now had the award in his possession for a year. Guesses and rumors as to the new recipient have been prevalent about the cam- pus during the past few days, his idea-. tity being known only to Professor Campbell. Doors Open At 6:30 O'Clock The doors of the assembly hall will -be opened at 6:30 o'clock tonight, the banquet starting promptly at 7 o'clock. Herman Boxer's orchestra will play at intervals throughout the meal be- ginning shortly before 7 o'clock. Before the inuvoation of the radio program, all of the guests present will be required to pledge themselves to secrecy as to any remarks made during the evening, and newspaper correspondents will be restrained from using any personal slander in their respective news columns. The radio broadcasting will then begin, and will largely concern those in at- tendance. Prof. Arthur L. Cross, of the history department, as toastmaster of the ban- quet, will make a few preliminary re- marks before introducing President Clarence Cook Little. The topic se- lected by President Little is "Cigar Ash on the Vest." He will be followed by a short discourse from Mayor John Smith of Detroit. Cabot To Start Discussion The discussion session, a new fea- ture of the Gridiron banquet during -which impromptu remarks will be in order from any of those present, will then get underway with Dean Hugh Cabot, of the Medical school, discuss- ing the question "Abolish' the Pro- fessor." Ray Alexander, '27L, as a representative of the student body, will reply with qrguments for "Abol-' ish the Student. "Retain the Examination System" will be the plea of Prof. Preston Slos- son, of the history department, as the next discussion. Dr. Frederick Coller, associate professor of surgery, will then give a brief discourse on the sub- ject, "Abolish the Examination Sys- tem." Will Discuss C-Education As the third topic for debate, How- ard Mayberry of the psychology de- partment, will urge that "Co-educa- tion Be Abolished." He will be answered by W. A.. P. John, '16, of Detroit, as a representative of the alumni. "Retain Co-education" will be Mr. John's subject. Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, of the En- gineering college will make the final abolition plea when he speaks on.. "Abolish the Press of Michigan." Newspapers of the state will be de- fended by James Schermerhort of De- troit, former editor of the Detroit Times. The Gridiron specialty, the one favorable epitaph given each year, will then be presented by William L. Diener, '26, president of the Michigan chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, to one of those in attendance. Professor Campbell will bring the program to a close with the presenta- tion of the Oil Can, although a few remarks will undoubtedly be wel- comed from the recipient. Joseph Kruger, '26, chairman of the banquet, said yesterday that there will GAL CRO*WD WILL ATTEND GRIDIRON BANQUET TONISHT ANNUAL AFFAIR TO BE DEVOID OF DIGNITY; PLENTY OF RAZZING PROMISED CROSS TO PRESIDE stronger 'in the state of California I addition to his work there, he studied than in any other*state, Mr. Baldwin abroad at the universities of Berlin, claimed.
