HIGHER TARIFF
Kansas Senator Says American Market
Should Not Be Destroyed
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.--"Tariff
schedules need revision in the inter-
ests of agriculture, but to accept the
"siren song of the Democratic low
tariff advocates would be to deliver
a body blow to American economic
life from which we likely would suffer
for many years," Senator Capier, Re-
publican, Kansas, said in a statement
issued here tonight by the Republican
senatorical campaign committee.
The American market is the best one
in the world for American farmers,
Senator Capper said, and nothing
should be hastily done which will de-j
stroy or greatly weaken it."
"Business must be active, and keep
S its stability to pay high wages to thei
city merhants if our home markets
are to absorb the largest quantity of
farm products," he said.
"Industrial life is prosperous today
and has the buying power to absorb
good quantities of farm produ'cts. I
feel that our aim in working out na-
tional economic policies should be
maintain this status. It is true that
agriculture has been in a sub-normal
economic condition, and it would be a
mistake to minimize this in any of our
thinking. But it seems to me that it
would be far better to work out
miethods which will bring agriculture
to the high level of the rest of the
country, rather than to throw a mon-
key wrench into business and bring
the whole economic structure of the
country down in a grand mess."

'CULTURE OF INDIANS
DISCUSSED 0BY MORLEY
Carnegie Institute Lecturer Talks On
Facts Relating To Work Of
Modern Scientists.
INSTITUTION'SPLAN TOLD
Telling the story of the astron-
omical learning and the wonderful
architectural technique developed by
the Indians in Central America 1400
years ago, and showing the slides of
the remains as they have been built
up by the parties sent out from the
United States, Dr. S. G. Morley, as-
sistant in Middle American Archae-
ology in the Carnegie Institution at
Washington, delivered his lecture on
"The Results of the 1926 Field Sea-
son" yesterday afternoon in Natural
Science auditorium.
The lecture was mainly composed
of facts pertinent to the excavation
of many temples and statues that have
been tied up with things in the sciehi-
tific and artistic fields. The evidences
of the civilization that existed at that
time is mainly carried on these statues
and on the facades of the remains of
temples and buildings. With the aid
of lantern slides in color Dr. Morley
attempted to give his hearers some
idea of the size of the project and of
the importance of the things that were
being done by the institution.
Among the examples of the art that
were uncovered in the excavations
there were many large figures, bril-
liantly colored and depicting scenes
in life and animals that are supposed
to have been common at that time.
There was also one large mural paint-
ing that is being reconstructed with
the hope that it may throw more light
upon the actual lives of the people.

Federal Amendment
(By Associated Press)
SALT LAKE CITY,, Oct. 26.-Char-
acterizing as "imperialistic" the power
vested in the President of the United
States to remove appointed executives,
without consent of the Senate, Senator
William H. King, Democrat, Utah, an-
nounced today that upon his return
to Washington in December he will
offer in the Senate an amendment to
the constitution to curtail this power.
The United States Supreme court
yesterday handed down a decision in
the case of Frank S.,Myers, postmas-
ter at Portland, Oregon, who was re-
moved by-President Wilson, upholding
the removal as within the constitu-
tional rights of the nation's chief
executive.
"This centralization of power in the
President," said Senator King, "ex-
ceces the power of any king or other
ruler in the' civilized world, and is
dangerous to our democratic form of
government.

ture of the death and destruction
caused by the earthquake in Armenia,
was given in an undated cablegram
received today by Near East relief
I headquarters from Dr. Joseph Beach,
director-general of the organization
relief work in Armenia. The cable
was sent from Leninakan.
"Earthquake shocks continuing but I
with diminished intensity," said the
cablegram. "Martial law has been
proclaimed throughout the earthquake
district. Morale of our American per-
sonnel and our 9,000 orphans excellent.
Loss O Life Increases
"The rural districts of Armenia
were terribly shaken and delayed re-
ports indicate an increasing' loss of
life and an enormous number of home-
less, who face the arrival of winter
with the inevitable prospect of
severest suffering.
"American workers yesterday visit-
ed six villages in which not a single
house remained habitable. In four of
these villages there were 152 dead and
185 seriously injured.
"The dead and injured in the
villages include many Near Dast re-

Craig Will Inspect
Forestry Exhibition i
Prof. Robert Craig, Jr., of the for-
estry department has gone to attend
a portable saw-mill demonstration at
Pennsylvania State college, -Penn
State, Pennsylvania. He will repre-
sent the University there.
The meeting consist of demonstra-
tions of various types of portable mills
and the best means and ways of run-
ning them. It is considered especially
pertinent to Michigan's interests be-
cause of the fact that there are in this
state many small tracts that could be
cut and made into serviceable timber
by means of the small mill but which'
are too small to warrant the erection
of a large permanent mill. Professor
Craig will return at the end of this
week.'
Commons To Retain
Emergency Powers,
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Oct. 26.-The government
emergency powers in connection with
the coal strike have been continued
by the House of Commons. The vote
for continuance was 185 to 68.
A new movement outside of Parli
ment dated today may possibly lead to
negotiations, but Parliament itself has
thus far been able to make no pro-
gress towards a settlement.
A deputation from the general coun-
cil of the trades union congress sought
and had a private meeting with Pre-
mier Baldwin, in which the coal sit-
uation was discussed and the deputa-
tion will see the miners' leader and
ascertain whether any new approach I
is possible. In the meantime, there is
a steady drift of miners back to work.

FRESHEN NHOLD GROUP
ASSEMLIEST UNION.
Meeting Is First Of Year To Be Held
Department Heads
JEFFRIES OUTLINES AIMS
Meeting last night for the first time1
this year under the auspices of the
Union Underclass department, three
freshman groups pledged themselves
to the "best freshman class of the Uni-
versity." The three groups met in
separate rooms on the third floor of,
the Union where a program of musical1
numbers, talks, and yells entertained1
them while they introduced themselves
and were made acquainted with the
activities of the Union through thef
Underclass department.
William V. Jeffries, '27, chairman of
the department outlined the purpose
of the groups. "We want you to knowf
your class mates," he said, "and we
hope that through these informal
group meetings every three weeks, I
that you will be enabled to do so. At
each meeting prominent men on the
campus will speak. The Union is
planning to conduct a program of in-
tergroup sports to encourage a united
class spirit and an interest in class'
activitites."
John Molenda, '28, spoke briefly to
the groups. He urged each one ofI
them to take an active interest in athle-
tics, to keep eligible for sports and
other activities, and to use the op-
portunities offered by the Union to
make permanent friendships among
the members of their own class.
Cards have been sent out to the
members of the class informing them
of the purpose of the groups, telling
them of the time and room number of
the meetings of the groups to which
they belong. Further announcements
will be made of the various activities
after organization is more nearly com-
pleted. The meetings will all be in-
formal, and smokes and occasional re-
freshments prepared.

Controversy Develops Over Reported
Statements In Regard To
Democratic Opponent f
(By Associated Press)
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 26.-Efforts
to secure from Senator Wesley L.
Jones, Republican, information con-
cerning campaign expenditures in his
behalf, failed in the final day's ses-
sion of the senatorial investigation
today.
Denial of all knowledge of cam-'
paign expenditures other than his own,
which he said would not exceed $200,
and some additional by Millard Hart-
son, collector of customs here, and E.
B. Benn, United States marshal, for
printed matter, marked the testimony
of the senior Washington senator.
Correspondent Mentioned
A difference of opinion between
Senator Jones and Leo Sullivan, staff
correspondent of the Seattle Times,
who had been travelling with Jones in
his campaign over what the Senator
had actually said about his Democratic
opponent, A. Scott Bullitt, developedj
in the day's testimony. t
After Senator Jones had denied
utterancesnattributedto him inthe
Times articles, Mr. Sullivan was called
by Mr. Bullitt and declared that he
had quoted the Senator's speeches ac-
curately and faithfully. He excepted I
from the classification of direct quota-
tions some articles which he said were
founded on interviews and statements
of the Senator in the course of their
travels.
Charges that Mr. Bullitt had spent<
In excess of $100,000 in his campaign,I
and that he had been given the back- -
ing of the "brewers, distillers, and -
saloon interests," attributed to Sena-1
tor Jones, were disclaimed by him, as
was responsibility for the demand,
made by Sam R. Sumner, Republican1
state chairman for the investigation
into the campaign expenditures of Mr.i
Bullitt.
Had Returned Contributions I
A $2,000 contribution to Senator1
Jones' campaign from the national Re-
publican senatorial committee was
spent at his direction, the witness de-1
clared, to the state central committee.
He told also of a check for $200 which
had been sent in by a "Mr. Axtell" of
New York, whom he identified as at-i
torney for the Seamens' union. Be-
cause of his desire to be unhampered
in his consideration of seamen's legis-1
lation as chairman of the Senate com-
merce committee, the senator said heI
returned his check to the donor. I
Of the Anti-Saloon league report of
his campaign and that of the W. C. T.
U., Senator Jones declared he had
never solicited the aid of any organ-
ization, adding "of' course, I am glad
to have it."
M~anagers Announce
Seats At Grid-Graph
Cannot Be Reserved
Contrary to previous announcement
there will be no reserved seats for the
grid-graph of the Navy game. The
management has decided that inas-
much as the income from the higher
pricing would not offset the added ex-
pense, prices of tickets will remain
the same as in the past, 50 cents for
main floor seats, and 35 cents for all
balcony seats.j
The Reserve band will play beforeI
the game and between halves.
Kenneth C. Midgley, '28L will give
I several xylophone numbers. This pro-
gram will mark the first attempt at
entertainment at the grid-graph.
The operators of the board have
worked together for the last -threey
years and is expected that this ex-{
perience has developed in them co-
ordination that will enable them to
render an accurate account of the
,game. The management has con-
tracted for morecomplete messages
from the field and intends to have theI
story of the game as portrayed by the
board in more detail.
The doors of Hill auditorium will be
opened at 1 o'clock. Tickets have been
placed on sale at Graham's, Slater's,
Hueston's, Wahr's, Geo. Moe's sport
shop, the Union, and Calkins Fletcher's

as the subpect of his address beforee
the Student's Press club tonight att

the journalism department on thee
third floor of the Old Medical build-s
ing.
Distinguished as a journalist for the

or four leading critics on foreign re-
lations.,

Rehearsals To Begin
Tonight For Opera
Orchestra Tryouts1
Rehearsals for all eligible men
wishing to try out for the orchestrat
which is to accompany "Front Page
Stuff," this year's Union Opera on its
tour this winter, will begin at 8 o'-1
clock tonight in room 308, Union, it
l was announced last night by E. Mor-
timer Shuter, director of the Opera.
The Opera orchestra for Mimes' an-
nual production will contain 22 mu-
sicians this year, this being slightly
less than that in "Tambourine," which
made the Christmas vacation tour of
cities with a group of 26 men. The
reduction is partly due to the nature I
I of this year's production, a modern
!musical comedy in contrast to "Tam-
bourine's" fantastic and imaginarys
setting, in which less variety in in-
struments is needed.
All men, playing instruments, who
are eligible for campus activities may
try out for the orchestra. It is espe-
cially urged by Ward Tollzien, '27,
general Opera chairman, that men,
playing the piano try out at the Union
tonight.

Speaker By University
Dr. Alex Dow, president of the Dow
Chemical company, has been secured
to give the principal address at the
engineering and architecture smoker
which will be held at 8 o'clock tonight
in the main assembly hall of the
Union. Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, of
the Colleges of Engineering and Arch-
itecture, will introduce the speaker.
The smoker is open to all students on
the campus.
Dr. Dow has had a varied and ex-
tensive career in connection with his
chosen work. He first came into pub-
lic notice in. 1893 when he built the
city lighting plant for Detroit. At
that time, it was considered one of
the most modern projects in the world.
A short time later he became manager
of the Detroit Edison company, and is
now the president of that organiza-
tion.

trative engineering world, Dr. Dow
has not only had to pass judgment on
extentions and machinery, but raise
the money for these projects as well.
It is expected that in his talk tonight,
he will introduce many of his personal
experiences which will offer many
suggestions to students entering this
field.
In recognition of his success in en-
gineering, the University conferred the
honorary degree of Master of En-
gineering upon him in 1911. Several
years ago the University again hon-
ored him by conferring upon him the
degree of Doctor of Engineering, the
highest honor in engineering.
Is Interested in University
Dr. Dow has been interested in the
University and its future for many
years, giving numerous pieces of ma-
chinery to the laboratories, establish-
ing fellowships in research, and giving
financial aid in other ways. He has
also placed many graduates of the
University on his engineering staffs.
Although born in Scotland, Dr. Dow
is an American citizen, coming to the
United States in 1882 and receiving
his naturalization papers 13 years
later at the age of 33. His various
positions held in the public utilities
department of Detroit include that of
city electrical engineer and also that
of water commissioner. He is a direc-
tor of the Detroit United railway, and
a member of the American Society of
Civil Engineers, American Societ'y of
Mechanical Engineers, American In-
stitute of Electrical Engineers, and the
Institute of Electrical Engineers o
Great Britain.
