No. 13 EIGHT PAGES ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1926 EIGHT PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS BYRD TOLECTURE TONIGHT ON FLIGHT OVER NORTH POLE ADDRESS TO OPEN LECTURE COURSE OF ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION FIRST TO FLY TO f0AL Talk To Be Illustrated With Moving Pictures Taken During Actual Flight to North Opening the 1926-1927 lecture series of the Oratorical association course, Lieutenant-Commander Richard .1 Byrd will speak at 8:15 o'clock tonight In Hill auditorium on the subject: "The First Flight to the North Pole." His lecture will be illustrated with motion pictures. The Pathe company was in charge of the motion picture photography and took views from aboard the ship "Chantier," whichi brought the expedition to King's Bay, the only port in Spitzbergen, where the naval base for the flight was es- eablished. On the flight, where there was no professional photographer, Commander Byrd took pictures from the plane during the actual flying and also while at the Pole. The pictures Commander Byrd will use at his lec- ture will be more complete and con- siderably different from those that have been distributed to the motion picture theaters. Brother Is Governor Commander Byrd is the son of Richard E. Byrd, Sr., a lawyer in Aus- tin, Texas. Byrd has a brother who is governor of the State of Virginia. After graduating from Annapolis Byrd's first prominent appointment was his being placed in charge of the navigation preparations for the trans- Atlantic flight of the NC flying boats, during which the NC-4 was the first craft to cross the Atlantic in air. Byrd is the inventor of two instru- ments which made his flight possible. These two inventions are the drift in- dicat and the bubble sextant. Byrd also used the new invention of Albert Bumstead bf the National Geographic society, that of a sun compass. He had only one summer of Arctic experience before he conquered the North Pole in 15 hours and 51 min- utes, less time than it takes to go from New York to Chicago by the fast- est train. His first trip was with Mac- Millan's Arctic expedition of 1925 in which Byrd flew 6,000 miles in explor- ing and mapping out new territory with Floyd Bennet, who was Byrd's pilot on the Pole trip. Plane Had Three Engines In exploit Conmander Byrd proved the usefulness of heavier-than-air craft for exploratory purposes. The plane used had three engines and wa a product of the United States navy. The ship was christened Josephine Ford -and is at present on an exhibi- tion tour of the United States. Byrd froze his face and one of his hands while on the flight in taking sights and observations with instru- ments from the trapdoor on the plane. STUDENT GUILDS HOLD ASSEMBLY What was considered by the leaders as a distinct step toward creating more intimate relations between the student guilds of the churches in Ann Arbor took place when representa- tives of the various churches met in a conference at the Fresh Air camp on Patterson lake last Friday and Sat- urday. More than 80 students attended the conference, the purpose of which was to afford them an opportunity to get acquainted with each other, exchange ideas 'and formulate plans for the coming year. Discussion groups con- sidering the work of the different com- xnittees occupied most of the time. Howard Y. McClusky, instructor in educational psychology, spoke to the conference Saturday morning, and ferry M. Hayden, '25, spoke Friday 'night and assisted in the discussions. Miss Ruth Campbell, Baptist student secretary at Ypsilanti, and Dr. Howard Chapman, student secretary of the Baptist church in Ann Arbor led dis- cussion groups. This conference was the first of what is planned to be an annual fall event. - LIST RESIDENTIAL ROOMS AT UNION Ann Arbor residents may make ar- rangements for listing rooms avail- able for the Minnesota, Illinois, and Wisconsin football games, by calling thA, Unrion ,fvrmi1 to 5So'clock any LT.

FRATERNITY -GROUP ELECTSODEEGAES Boland, Graham To Go To National Convention at New York As Representatives BURSLEY ASKS FOR HELP John Boland, '27, president of the Interfraternity council, and Frank Graham, '27, treasurer, were elected by the council at its first regular1 meeting of the year yesterday to act as delegates t9 the convention of the National Undrgraduate Interfratern- ity council to be held in New York city Nov. 26 and 27. Principal col- leges and universities throughout the country will be represented at the na- tional meeting as in past years. Waldo Abbot of the rhetoric depart- ment and Charles W. Graham of Ann' Arbor were appointed by President ClarencerCook Little and Dean ofI Students Joseph A. Bursley, respec- tively, as faculty and alumni represen- tatives on the council's judiciary cor- mittee, it was announced yesterday by Dean Bursley. They will serverterms of two years. One other faculty mem- ber and alumni representative, from last year, and five students, elected at the council's special meeting last week, comprise the committee of nine. Dean Bursley gave a short talk on the liquor situation, asking the coun- cil to continue its cooperation of last year which was instigated with the three plans suggested by President Little. Practically all of the frater- nities have elected the student-plan again this year whereby a committee of five or less students are pledged to report to the dean of students any violations, or disturbances arising from the use of liquor which occur within their respective houses. Dean Bursley emplained that this was the most desirable plan inasmuch as stu- dent government is afforded in this way. The cooperation of the council, and individual fraternities, was also re- quested by Dean Bursley in the matter of helping to enforce the new auto- mobile regulations governing student driven cars. The next meeting of the council will be held the first Monday in No- vember. Students Are Urged To Get Union Cards Freshmen and all other students who have not yet completed registra- I tion at the Union are urged to finish this matter by reporting at the Union student offices on the third floor, from 3 to 5:30 o'clock up- to Friday of this week, and all next week.

Froni time to time they wil also be required for presentation, be fore entrance into the building is pos 'sible, according to an announcemen made 'yesterday by Walter Kuenzel '27E, recording seci'etary. DIRIGIBLE MAY '"FRONT PAGE STUFF" WILL BE TITLE OF 1927 MIMES PROmiUT [ON PETERSON IS AUTHOR Dorothy Stone And William M. Leis Also Assist in Composing Musical Numbers Michigan's 1927 Union Opera has been' named. "Front Page Stuff" is the, selected title of the 21st annual Opera of Mimes and the Union, E-. Mo'rtimer Shuter, director, announced f yesterday. Milton A. Peterson, grad. is the an- thor of the manuscript, and the com- poser of most of the music and lyrics. Additional musical numbers and lyrics were written by Dorothy Stone, who was made an honorary member of Mimes last spring, and by William Al. Lewis, '29, who will play the feminine lead in the 1927 production. Dances By Hoyer Dance numbers were arranged, as in former years, by Roy Hoyer, danc- ing partner of Dorothy Stone in "Criss Cross," the new Fred Stone show which opens tonight in New York. The costumes are again the creations of Lester of Chicago. Mr. Shuter is convinced that "Front Page Stuff" will equal in every re- spect the successes of former Union Operas, though through a slightly dif- ferent form of popularity. ''With an extremely well-written j plot," Mr. Shuter declared yester- day, "excellent singing possibilities, a number of exceptional musical num- hers-the Opera is to have 23-and as talented a dancing group as I have ever worked with, the Opera this year will be an undoubted success from every standpoint." Sets Are Elaborate Neither are the settings and cos- tuming effects to be disregarded in the least, for, according to Mr. Shut- er, the sets are equally elaborate as those in last year's Opera, and there are to be even more costumes than there were in "Tambourine." "Front Page Stuff" is a two-act production of the musical comedy type, differing noticeably in its efforts. from the spectacular, loosely-woven, revue show, and yet more compact and lighter than the romantic, cos- ; tume-show it is said. It has a decided collegiate atmosphere, as compared to- recent Operas, particulhrly in severalI of the song numbers. Scene in College Town The first act is laid in a modern college town, and the plot centers around the financial desperation ex- perienced by a noted scientific pro- fessor, because of his family's social climbing proclivities. Shortly before his condition becomes hopeless the professor through a reluctant and questionable stroke of luck, is forced into carrying out a program of lavish money-spending and swift living in order to secretly effect a permanent cure for his ambitious wife, daughter, and.son. With the second act opening in St. Mauritz, Switzerland, at the height of the winter social season, the resultant action becomes a succession of rapid, ingenious, plot unfoldings. Interwoven with the main action is the "love interest," complicated by various stealthy seekers for the hand of the professor's daughter, and a riotous comedy vein provided by the self-at- tached member of the touring party, a Swedish countess. The selected name is peculiarly ap- propriate through the suggested journ- alistic association it bears to th plot proper. I Prussian _Believes Ex-Kaiser Desires To Recover Throne (By Associated ;Press) BERLIN, Oct. 11.-"The former Kraiser is the only nian in the, world who repeatedly cherishes the hope that some day lie will triumphantly re-en- ter Germany and re-establish himself on the throne from which he ruled for 30 years," a high official of the Prus- sian government remarked to a cor- respond'ent of the Associated Press. The official was speaking of a Hohen- zollern indemnty and property settle- ment agreement signed by the estate of the former emperor now before the Diet. The reading of the compromise bill relating to this settlement raised a gret uproar in the Prussian Diet to- day, the Communists assuming a threatening 'attitudesand denouncing the terms of the settlement which provide for a payment to the Hohen- zollern family of $3,600,000, the allot- ment of 67 acres of the former estate and the castle at Homburg for the ex- Kaiser and his wife Hermine.

Oct. 11.-An "hung jury" today ended the five weeks' con- spiracy trial of Harry M. Daugherty and Thomas W. Miller, government officials under President Warren G. I-larding. The jurors had been out more than 65 hours, longer than any other jury in the history of the fed- eral building. Former Attorney-General Daugher- ty was the first man to be brought to trial on a charge of conspiracy to de- fraud the government, who served while a member of a president's cabinet. Daugherty and Miller, former alien property custodian, were indicted for conspiring to defraud the government of their best services in permitting the leak in 1921 of $7,000,000 war im- pounded assets of the American Metal company. The case was given to the jury at 9:43 o'clock Friday night. Saturday failure to agree was reported, but Judge Julian Mack insisted on further deliberation. Again yesterday the jury was told that not yet could any- thing but a verdict be acceptable to the court. At 3 o'clock today, however, the talesmen were called into the court room for the last time and again re- ported inability to agree, whereupon Judge Mack said: "I shall not hold you longer, gen- tlemen. You have deliberated long and earnestly, and I thank you for all that you have done."

F-HPIRE STATE PERM~ITTED) TO All) GREAT LAKES FIGHT (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-New York was permitted by the Su- preme court today to join Mich- igan in its complaint against Illi- nois and the Chicago sanitary district, growing out of the di- vesion of waters from Lake Michigan. By inclusion of the Empire state questions will be injected into the case of the proprietary rights over the wa- ters of the Niagara and St. Law- rence rivers and the develop- ment of hydro-electric powers. Michigan, by order of the court, must stand upon its orig- inal complaint challenging the validity of diversion from one water shed to another under any circurgstances. It broadened the Wisconsin complaint which at- tacked such diversion without the permission of Congress, and 'at the same time denied Michi- gan permission to amend its complaint to embody features of the complaints New York will file. Illinois and the sanitary dis- trict opposed injection into the controversy ' at this time of questions which they asserted related to the powers of the Fed- eral ,water power commission and might involve the constitu- tionality of the Federal Water Power act. They pointed out that Michigan already had given notice of its intention to parti- cipate in the hearing of the Wis- consin side of the case before Judge Charles E. Hughes, and that New York should be per- mitted to bring the hydro-elec- tric matter into the controversy. ,. - t :, Choruses Practicngu Both men's and women's chorases are now engaged in daily practice and final chorus selections are to be an- nounced this week, according to Mr. Shuter.

FITCH TALKS AT FIRST CONVOCATIONa~ Professor Of Philosophy At Carletonu College Asks For Justl Moral Code t SPEAKS ON "TWO LIVES"' Advocating a new philosophy of re- ligion, Dr. Albert Parker Fitch, ofF Carleton college, who opened the sec-v ond series of student convocationsc Sunday morning in Hill auditorium,d declared that a more just and exact-t ing moral code must be worked out. "Two Lives" was the title of the Carle-t ton professor's address.r "I am anxious to see the young men. and women of today tackle the funda- mental problems of the world," saide Dr. Fitch, implying that there was none more fitted for this work than t university students. "Men-under- neath-today are just as religious asj they ever were, you know. And the world is dying for constructive criti- cism." The speaker cited the life of the rich, young ruler in Biblical history who sought eternal life, but who wast unwilling to make some great decision, or sacrifice, as a means for that which, he was seeking. Taking this illus- tration as "the success which failed," he compared it to the life of Jesus,1 "the failure which succeeded." "The rich, young ruler had an op- portunity to ally himself with the, greatest creative movement in history when he appealed to Jesus for -help, but he cast it aside," continued Dr. Fitch. The speaker stated that both types of men are indispensable to the com- munity. "We have no right to say which life you should choose. The life of the ruler was an illustration of social sophistication, that of Jesus was intellectual sophistication. "What we need is a new philosophy of religion," concluded Dr. Fitch. "A great deal today is unconscious con- formity. It must be remembered that inherited religious thinking gives us the mile posts-but no goal posts." Shirley Smith, secretary of the Uni- versity, presided at Sunday's convoca- tion. Registrar Smith Addresses Group Registrar Ira M. Smith, returned early yesterday from the three day meeting of, the Seventh District Edu- cation association of Michigan which was held In Marquette Oct. 7, 8, 9. Registrar Smith addressed a divi sional group of the association com- posed of High school principals and teachers onm the subject "New Col- lege Entrance Requirements." Mr. Smith explained the University poli- cies in detail and discussed general BISHOP ASKS TAT STUDENTS 1FOLLOW0 CHRISTIA9NMAXIMS RT. REV. ARTHUR WINNINGTON- INGRAM ADDRESSES MIXER AT MICHIGAN UNION TO HOLD INTERVIEWS Speaker Says There Is No Danger In Co-education If Students Are Christians Admitting that most people are christians because they are born and brought up as Christians, the Rt. Rev. Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram, Lord Bishop of London, in his address on "Why I Am A Christian" at the faculty-student mixer last night at the Union, admonished students, especial- ly, to learn more of and follow chris- tian principles. "Christianity is the only thing that enables us to carry on our work, and gives us the hope and strength to go on in this life," the Lord Bishop said. He then declared that unless one is a Christian he does not really know what life is. Christian Principles Important + In emphasizing the importance of students following christian princi- ples the London prelate said, "There is no danger in co-education if the stu- dents are christian men and women and live iin accordance with Chris- tian principles. Where there is a mix- ture of men and women in a student body of 10,000 as there is in this Uni- versity, there is danger in co-educa- ion if christian conduct is not the standard. Christ set the standard of conduct for men and women, and all should try to conform to this stand- ard." In enumerating the reasons why he s a christian the Bishop stated them as follows: 1. Because I was born and brought up a christian. 2. Because I wouldn't know what ife really was unless I was a chris- ian. 3. I am a christian because I couldn't live without being one. roman Indebted Stopping the general trend of his speech for a moment he reminded the women in the audience how much they owe to christianity. "You women don't know what you owe to chris- tianity" said the Lord Bishop. "You are free and respected according to the highest standards while the wo- men in those countries where chris- tian principles are not in vogue are slaves. The best friend that woman ever had was Jesus Christ." Stating that he belived in evolution, the Bishop call man "the crown of the world." Touching further on the sub- ject of evolution he remarked, "No sane person will say there is a con- flict between science and religion, be- cause they are in different planes." Church Has Stood Test To point out the strength of chris- tianity the visiting churchman stated, "While states and kingdoms are crumbling in the world today the church goes on successfully as it has for centuries. But we must get back to the united church. Christ establish- ed his church while on earth as a liv- ing society to carry on and propogate christian truths, and he stated plain- ly that the gates of hell shall not pre- vail against it." Bishop Ingram arrived in Ann Ar- bor this morning, after visiting sev- eral of the other conference schools. At noon, he lunched with a group of faculty members at the Union, at which time he was formally welcomed to the campus by President Clarence Cook Little. Plays Golf Following the faculty luncheon, the Bishop was taken to the Barton Hills Country club where he played golf until after 3 o'clock. He then return- ed to the Union to meet the student committee which accorded him a wel- come from the student body. Instead of lunching with a selected group of students at the Union this noon, Bishop Ingram and his party will be the guests of the Lawyers' club. After luncheon, the Bishop will be taken on a tour of the club. Will Visit Fraternities During the afternoon, he will visit several fraternity houses on the campus in an attempt to get into close contact with the students. At 4:15 !o'clock, the Bishop will give an ad- dress before the School of Religion in Natural Science auditorium. The informal supper with the Epis- copal Students' club which was to be held at the Union, will be held tonight at 6:15 o'clock in Harris hall. Fol- lowing this supper, the Bishop will be taken to Hill auditorium where he Will Get Uniforms! I I i
