The Senate, which is to try the case, promptly adopted a resolution direct- ing its secretary to notify the Hous& that it is ready to receive the mana- gers. They are not expected to ap- pear for several days, as they first will hold session to map out procedure. Besides naming the prosecutors, five Republicans and four Democrats, of the judiciary committee, the Housej adopted a resolution instructing its clerk to notify the Senate and de- mand the conviction of Judge English in the name of the House and "the people of the United States." The House authorized its managers to sub-poena witnesses and documents and to bring in witnesses in addition to those heard by the judiciary com- mittee. After the managers formally pre- sent the indictment against Judge English, the Senate will fix a time at which the judge must appear in per- son before the Senate bar. Upon his appearance he will be given a week or more in which to make written re- ply to the charges against him. Secretary Submitted To Two Cross Examination By Senator Reed Hour (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON , April 6.-Crooked- ness among prohibition officers, the "splitting" of whiskey for the bootleg and druggist trade and the misnomer of "non-refiillable" as applied to whiskey bottles were a few of the sub- jects touched upon today as the wets pressed their case at the Senate pro- hibition hearing.f Others included the "unpleasant duty" of enforcement agents to drink part of the evidence which they gath- er, the "reclaiming" of anti-freeze and even embalming fluid for the bootleg trade, alcohol diversion, and proposed legislation to tighten up enforcement. Assistant Secretary Andrews, the field marshal of prohibition enforce- ment, again was the witness, buttress- ed at times by James E. Jones, di- rector of prohibition who sat across the table from his chief and who was sworn in the midst of the hearings after General Andrews had called up- on him several times to furnish in- formation which he did not have at his finger tips. Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, the one avowed wet of the committee of five, conducted the cross examina- tion during most of the two hours of the hearing and the crowd appeared to get plenty of kicks out of his ques- tions and observations and the replies of the two witnesses. Again and again laughter swept the room and there was no admonition for the sena- tors themselves could not refrain from joining in the demonstration. But the hearing was not all hilarity, Senator Reed bore down seriously as Secretary Andrews suggested a law which would give the prohibition unit the right to refuse to reissue permits without appeal to the courts by the permittee. The senator declared this would give "arbitrary" power to of- ficials to destroy a "legitimate busi- ness' depending for its life on indus- trial alcohol. General Andrews finally conceded that an appeal to the court should be allowed in case of the refusal of pe- mits, just as it is provided for now when permits are revoked. Before this subject was disposed of, Senator Reed called attention that 875 employees of the enforcement unit had been dismissed for law violations and he suggested that certainly this au- thority should not be vested in men who might turn out to be dishonest. This led to the field of who recom-I mended enforcement officers. General Andrews said the W. C. T. U. and the Anti-saloon league had done so in the past. "But I will say Wayne D. Wheeler never has made any recommendation," he added, referring to the general counsel of the Anti-saloon league. "You stopped him, didn't you?" queried Senator Reed. "He never started," returned Mr. Andrews. Senator larreld, Republican, Okla- homa, suggestedl that administrators charged with employing their own forces should look to the friends of prohibition for recommendation. "Then you would have just as many crooks in the future as you have had in the past" said Senator Reed. Director Jones, as the "expert wit- ness" on non-refillable whiskey bot- tles testified that there was no such thing. "You're right," returned Senator Reed. "You can refill a non-refillable bottle. Its a little longer operation and so trying of the 'nerves of the man who is waiting for a drink." A reference to "split" whiskey aroused the curiosity of Senator Waslsh, Democrat, Montana, an avowed dry, who asked what it was. "Alcohol colored with whiskey" ex- plained General Andrews. "Sice Senator Walsh doesn't know anything about this I will say that it has been stated to me-I have never performed the operation myself-that you take a gallon of whiskey and then alcohol and water and make several gallons." 0OurWeat er an WORLEY' DISCUSSES' RAILROAD0 SYSTEMS PRHOFESSOR ICE TO LECTURE TODAY1 Subject Of Address Will Be "Jesus' Program And Why It Wais Rejected" Lecturer Describes Development Great Lines In West Before Large Audien'ce Of PRAISES JUDGE DENTON I IS NOTED THEOLOGIAN Tracing the development of the large railroad systems, Prof. John S. Worley, who is a part time lecturer in the civil engineering department, gave the second lecture of a group on American railways yesterday morn- ing before a large audience of engi- neering students and faculty members. In discussing the great lines of the [West, Professor Worley revealed the fact that Judge Denton, a former resi- dent of Ann Arbor, was the first man to conceive the idea of a transconti- nental railroad. After inspecting the roads in the East, Judge Denton ad- vocated a line fromi the Great Lakes to the west coast in 1832, fully 37 years before the Central Pacific from the West and the Union Pacific from the East were united at Promontory Point, Utah, he said. In regard to the eastern systems, 'Professor Worley described the early growth of the Baltimore and Ohio, the New York Central, and Pennsylvania railroads. Slides were shown of the construction equipment, and the loco- motives and cars which were operated on these lines in their early stages. Professor Worley also spoke yester- day at the Chamber of Commerce lun- cheon giving his forecast of the busi- ness conditions for the coming year. "I do not see anything in the horizon to forecast a poor season," he said. He cited statistics from the electri- cal manufacturing industry to show that since its beginning in the nine- teenth century there have been steady increases in both the output of elec- trical supplies and the consumption of electrical current. "The momen tum that such an increase carries with it will insure that there will be no permanent reversal of business in the industry," Professor Worley asserted. "But I do not see any great revolu- tionary changes in the field, and so where is this increase in business coming from for the next five year period?" he continued. It will be due to the increased uses to which elec- tricity will be put in the fields in which it is now being utilized, he ex- ' oaed. More will be used for lights in the homes, farms, and household appliances.

In this sermon, which was regarding Jesus Christ, Rabbi Wise made three statements for which he was attacked by orthodox Jews as unsound and un- representative of Jewish thought. Rabbi Wise declared that Jesus really did exist, that he was a great teacher and that the Jews should accept him as such and as one of their own. Be- cause of this sermon, the rabbi was denounced as an heretic, was tried for that charge, but was not convicted. Rabbi Wise was born in Budapest, Hungary, March 17, 1872.

Elliott, '26, president of the Round 'fable club, a charge of 25 cents will be collected at the door of the Natural Science audi- torium for the speech by Rabbi Wise. GRAND RAPIDS, April 6.-Declar- ing his opposition to compulsory mil- itary training at the Michigan State college, the Rev. W. E. Beckett, pastor of Alto M. E. church, called upon the Grand Rapids Ministers' association at the April meeting at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday to pass a resolution urging the training at least be made elective. Mr. Beckett gave a report for a com- mittee investigating military training in schools and colleges, the committee having been appointed by the Method- ist Association of Ministers.E "There is a question in my mind whether we are not becoming too mili- taristic, whether there is not a danger of being swamped with the same spirit that has swamped Europe," Mr. Beck- I ett declared. "Compulsory military training is a handicap to those specializing in rural education. The nian who is to work in the country has no need of it, it is of no value to him. Why should he be made to take this three hours of training a week? Students of medi- clue,law, etc., do not have to go under this handicap. "From letters sent out I feel that the spirit is unanimous in this regard on the part of the rural leaders of Michigan. Let us eliminate the com-1 pulsory feature of military training." Court Asks BfanI On Night Music As Health Move' BERLIN, April 6.-That music is undermining the health of Berliners is the verdict handed down by the municipal court in its recommenda- tion that orchestras and other forms of music, even the radio, be discon- tinued at an early hour in all public houses. The court reviewed the situation as follows: Under the exhiliaration of music, the guests in cafes, restaurants and1 theaters imbibe alcoholic drinks ex- cessively. At the police closing hour, i 'which is 1 a. i., the guests are in] quarrelsome moods and either dis- pute with their friends or with other groups on the street. These boisterous quarrels wake up peaceful citizens, whose health con- sequently suffers from lack of suffi- cient rest.

Riff Peace Terms Refused By Spain' PARIS, April 6.-A semi-official an- nouncement from Madrid to the effect that the Spanish government could not cofpsider peace in Morocco on the terms offered by the tribal leader Abd el-Krim, and the belligerent dis- position being shown by the tribes- men around Paza has sent the pros- I pects of peace with the Riff to the background. Negotiations on the basis of autonomy for the Riffians are now regarded in official circles as use- less, in view of the attitude of the Spanish government. ternity, at the Union. Th donor was Prof. 0. J. Campbell of the English de- partment who had had the symbol of honor in his possession for a year. Inwan atmosphere of ridicule, satire, and irony, dignified members of the faculty, emotionless journalists, ambi- tious students, and sedate townsfolk forgot all petty pride and reveled in an evening of wit and humor. Start- ing with the radio program, which em- phasized the idiosyncraies of well- known professors on the campus, until the last address, the largest assem- blage in the history of the Gridiron banquet responded in vociferous man- ner to remarks, speeches, and debates. Prof. Athur L. Cross of the history department, acting in the capacity of toastmaster, opened the program after dinner with a few introductory re- marks. He then signalled-for an oath from all those present, particularly newspapermen, not to divulge any per- Sonal remarks which might be made during the evening,In an effort to give all speakers the greatest latitude and freedonm. "Cigar Ash on the Vest' was the topic of President Little. In his ad-- dress he contrasted the subject of his speech with the problems of daily life. The discussion session opened with Dean Hugh Cbot of. the Medical school debating in a novel manner the question: "The Abolition of the Pro- fessor." He was answered by Ray Alexander, '27L, who gave his argu- ments foi the "Abolition of the Stu- dent." Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the his- tory department next showed why the examination should be retained, cit- ing numerous examples of students' replies made on bluebooks. "The State Press" and the "Audi- torial We" were the topics touched upon by James Schermerhorn of Dc- troit, former editor of the Detroit Times. In his discussion he men- tioned, many incidents of interest which occurred during his years in the newspaper business. In presenting the Oil Can, Profes-. sor Campbell remarked, "It gives me great pleasure indeed to present this token of esteem to 14'esident Little, a Harvard man, inasnmuch as it was given to me by a graduate of that university, Prof. Thomas Reed." President Little replied by declar- ing that, to be the recipient of the Oil Can, was the greatest surprise and recognition be has had since com- 1 ing to the University, and a "certain Imark of true friendship." Mayor John Smith of Detroit out- lined 'the qualities of the successful journalist, and told of his experiences with newspapers. "Abolish the Examination" was the talk given by Dr. Frederick Coller, associate professor of surgery, in re- ply to the arguments, presented by Professor Slosson. Dean Mortimer E. Cooley of the engi- neering college brought the discussion session to a close with attacks on the .newspapers of the state. The fourth discussion was neces- sarily abandoned when Howard May- berry of the psychology department was unable to be present due to sud- den illness and W. A. P. John of De- troit wired that ho would be unable 1to attend. The annual favorable epitaph was presented to Prof. Thomas C. True- blood, public speaking director by WU- liam L. Diener, '26, president of Micli- gan chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, in recognition of his long service with the University.
