That Dr. Hiram W. Evahs, imperial
wizard of the Klan, was deeply inter-
ested in Watson's campaign and made
a number of visits to Indiana for poli-
tical conferences with Klan leaders.
That William S. Zumbrunn is the
legislative agent of the hooded order
at Washington, looking after such
matters as immigration restrictions
legislation and the seating of senators.
That $400 of Indiana Klan money

diana Klan officials to Washington

OR0ATORY TESTIMONIAL'I
Detroit Attorney Provides F ndowment
For Prizes For Contest On
New Testament
IS MICHIGAN GRADUATE
Announcement of a new testimonial
oratorical contest, to be known as the
"Black New Testament Contest" wasi
made yesterday by Prof. Richard D. T.l
Hollister of the public speaking de-
partment. The contest wil be endowed
permanently to furnish prizes of $100
to the first place winner and $50 to
the second place winner in addition to
gold and silver medals. Thomas E.
H. Black, '14L' Detroit attorney, has{
furnished the testimonial in apprecia-
tion of the work which the public
speaking department did for him while
he was in school.I
The contest will be conducted along4
Hines similar to those of the Atkin-
son memorial contest. E. E. Fleisch-
man .of the public speaking depart-
ment will have charge of the New
Testament contest this year and has
announced that preliminary trials,
open to any undergraduate student in
good scholastic standing, will be held
soon after the opening of the second'
semester, while the final contest will
be held about the middle of March.
The speeches may be given on any.
theme for which the substance is
drawn from the New Testament;
whether it be a discussion of char-
eters, incidents, teachings, or religious
ideails found there, or even a discus-
sion of modern problems in the light
of these teachings. Originality andj
I sincerity, rather than fidelity to tradi-
tional orthodoxy or religion, should
govern the students' choices of sub-
jects, in the opinion of Mr. Fleisch-
man.
The aim of the contest and of its
founder is to stimulate interest in the
New Testament scriptures on the part
of college students.
Speeches must not be over 1800
words in length and any students de-
siring further information should see
Mr. Fleischman at once.

American Girl Is
Hero When Quake
Strikes Armenia,
LEN INAKANT, Armenia, Oct. 2.-1
An American girl's heroism saved1
many lives in the great earthquake
which devastated Armenia last Fri-I
day night. Miss Edna Steiger, a,
slender nurse from Williamsport, Pa.,
was sitting at a fire place talking with
another American when a terrifying
rumbling, like a stormy sea, was
heard. She saw chimneys topple and
the earth open, followed by the crash
of collapsing walls and shill cries.
The nurse thought only of her hos-
pital at Kara Kilissa, four miles dis-
tant, where she had left scores of
crippled patients. She jumped into
an automobile and speeded across the
broken road. She reached the hospital,
to find it partly in ruins. Against the
entreating of her companion, she ran
into the trembling buildings, and with
the help of natives dragged out the
terrified patients until all were re-
moved.
Then, learning that an Armenian
nurse still remained within the totter-
ing walls, she returned and carried
her stricken Armenian associate to
the threshold of the hospital and fell,
fainting,*as the third quake leveled
the structure to the ground.
Miraculously she escaped the fall-
ing debris, but her sister nurse was
seriously injured.

next day he will give "Systematic Pro-

in Technical Practice."!
Dr. Guertler is one of the Iest
krawn metalurgists in the world. Af-
ter his high school education, he stu-
died at the Institute for Technology
in Hanover and Munich, and at ther
Universities of Munich and Gottingen.
While at these latter institutions, he
came under the influence of Profes-
sor Tammann, the famous chemist.
Upon receiving his doctor's degree in
1904, he became Tammann's assistant.
In this capacity, he worked out,
in cooperation with Tammann, the
first constitution diagrams of binajy
