Auditorium Meeting
Judge Frank Murphy, '13L, of De-
troit, and Prof. William Frayer of the
European history department, will
represent the alumni and faculty, re-
spectively, on the speakers' program
at the first pep meeting of the year to-
morrow night in Hill auditorium, ac-
cording to announcement made yester-
day. The student and athletic associa-
tion representatives, who will also
give brief talks at the Illinois rally,
will be announced tomorrow.
Judge Murphy, as one of the most
enthusiastic alumni of the University,
' well known to Michigan students.
It was he who gave the famous
"Heroes of Athens" 'speech at the
memorable pep meeting in 1920 pre-
ceding the Chicago game. Despite de-
feat the previous weel, the speaker
fired 'the team to tremendous efforts
and Michigan won the next day 20-0.
Judge Murphy also spoke at the Cap
Night ceremonies in 1921 and at the
Ohio State pep meeting here three
years ago. An orator of much elo-
quence, he is expected to make an
unusual appeal to the student body
for its support at Saturday's crucial
game.
Professor Frayer needs no intro-
duction to University students. A,
member of the Board in Control of,
Athletics, he has always taken a keen
interest in campus activities, partic-
ularly in athletics. His ability as a
speaker is well known.
The Varsity band will be present at
the assembly, and cheers and songs
will be led by William Warrick, '27,
Varsity cheerleader. Thomas Cava-
nagh, '27L, president of the Student
council, will preside.
The doors of the auditorium will be
opened at 7 o'clock, the program be-
ing scheduled to start promptly at
7:30 o'clock. The meeting will last
approximately an hour.
Following the pep meeting at Hill
auditorium, there will be a gathering
of the same nature in the Union tap-'

it is being arranged by the Union
house committee, will be entertain-
ment features, and two or three cheer-

cathode ray tube, which has renewed

hair of a different color on -the same
spot, which has made cold stone lum-
inous as it heated, and produced sur-
prising results on gas, was officially
announced here tonight by Dr. W. D.
Coolidge, its inventor. He is assistant
director of the research labratory of
the General Electric Co. His an-
nouncement was made before the
Franklin institute which presented
him with the Howard N. Pott's medal.
Dr. Coolidge said he has not tried
the tube ray on humans, nor yet found
practical application for them. The'

CHICAGO, Oct. 20-Eugene V.
ebs, outstanding apostle of socialism
the United States, died in a subur-
n sanitarium at 7:44 o'clock tonight.
Mr. Debs would have been 71 years
d had he lived until next November
He suffered a nervous breakdown
month ago and retired to the sani-
rium in which he died.
Because of his advanced years and
art disease, which had persisted vir-
ally throughout his life, he offered
t slight physical resistance when a
rn for the worse occurred.
He lapsed into a profound Boma last
.turday and failed to recover con-
iousness. It was his will to live
hich stayed death, said the attend-
g physician, who also remarked
ion the period of coma as very un-
,ual.
With the aged socialist leader at the

ieodore, and two sisters. At his
dside during his last moments also
ere socialist party leaders, including
illiam H. Henry, the national execu-
e secretary.
Eugene V.yDebs, leader of the So-
glist party in America and five
nes its nominee for the Presidency,
as born in Terre Haute, Ind., on No-
mber 5, 1855. Upon leaving school
obtained a job as a fireman on the
rre Haute & Indianapolis railroad
here he worked from 1871 to,1874.
he next five years he waA employed
a wholesale groceryrhouse and in
80 returned to railroading. Mean-
hile hehad become city clerk of
rre H-aute, serving from 1879 to
83, and in 1885 he was elected to the
,diana legislature.
He was grand secretary and treas-
er of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
re Firemen from 1880 to 1893. As
esident of the American Railway
nion early in 1894 he directed and
on a strike on the Great Northern
,ailway. While managing the still
trger strike of Western roads that
aime year, Debs was charged with
nspiracy but was acquitted. Later
e was held for violation of an injunc-
ion and sent to jail at Woodstock,
u., for six months for contempt of
ourt.
The American Railway Union strike,
rhich paralyzed traffic in the West,
ad been broken however, by the in-
ervention of President Cleveland who
rdered federal troops to guard the
rains. Released from jail, Debs urged
he workers to "sell your shovel and
uy a gun" and announced he would
onsecrate his life to their emancipa-
ion. He became a Socialist lecturer,
vriter and organizer and travelled all
ver the United States. In 1897 and
898 he was chairman of the National
ouncil of the Social Democracy and
nd in 1900, as the candidate of that
>arty for the Presidency he polled 87,-
14 votes. In 1912 his vote had grown
o 901,872 and in 1920 to nearly 1,-
00,000. He was nominated by the
ocialist party as its standard bearer
he last time while he was a prisoner
n the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta;
a., serving a ten-year sentence for
ioation of the Espionage Act during
,he war.
Debs' conviction came as the result
f a speech he made at Canton, O., in
.918, in which he attacked the gov-
rnment's part in the war and assailed
he terms of the Selective Service Act,
under which the American army was
being raised. He was found guilty in
september, .1918, of trying to obstruct
the draft and was sentexced by Fed-
eral Judge David C. Westenhaver to
ten years in the. Moundsville, W. Va.,
penitentiary. Debs made no effort to
prevent the imposition of the penalty.
John Brown of Ossawatomie was his
favorite examplar. He offered no evi-
dence in his own defense and made
his own address to the jury.
Debs finally was released from the
penitentiary Christmas day, 1921, his
sentence having been/ commuted by
President Harding along with those
of 23 others convicted on various
charges of having hindered the gov-
ernment during the war.

In spite of all the propoganda dis-

world in this respect, according to E.

This, he explained, is due to the fact
that all persons in Europe owning1

"Little Brown Jug" Displayed At Union
Dance Saturday Night Was Not Original
One As Supposed By Many But Imitation
First Fall Issue Of-Gargoyle To Appear
On Campus Today; Humorous Impressions;
And Glimpses Of Freshmen Are Features'
a number of cities, including City '
Temple, London, during the World
war. Dr. Newton spent some time in
the Church of the Divine Paternity,
New York city, but is an Episcopal
clergyman in Philadelphia at the
present time.
Dr. Newton is the author of many
books on various topics, religion in-
cluded. Seventeen of his most promi-
nent works are listed in Who's Who.
The Philadelphia minister is also
an associate editor of Christian Cent-
ury and a Mason of considerable
prominence.
Confusion as to the identity of the
"little brown jug" which figured as i
a feature of the football decorations
at the Union dance last Saturday night
has led the Union dance committee tof
correct the asumption that this wasc
the real "little brown jug." The jug,
prepared as a realistic imitation of the'
prized trophy at the Field house, was
secured from an Ann Arbor resident,
of many years standing, after a long 1
search by the dance committee. It is
older than the original it represents,
and was decorated by the same man
who has added the score of the Min-
nesota-Michigan game to the genuine
trophy every year.
It is intended to niace this dunlicate,
and Minnesota.
"In 1903 Michigan and Minnesota
played to a tie," Coach Yost said "As
a result of this tie game, there has
grown up one of the most interesting
traditions of football history, the tra-
dition of the "little brown jug."
"The "little brown jug" was used
by the Michigan in 1903 to carry drink-
ing water. After the game, it was dis-
covered by one of the Minnesota care-
takers, who concealed it until after
the Michigan team had departed.
Whenever Michigan and Minnesota
have played since 1903, the "little
brown jug" has been displayed at the
game and has gone as the trophy or
prize to the winning team."
Minnesota has succeeded in carrying
