I pon Graduating From Ann Arbor
High Went To St. Johns To
Enter Post Office Service
Volney A. Chapin, '69, for 19 years
assistant in the Law school library,
died Sunday afternoon at a local hos-
pital, following a three weeks illness.
The doctors believebthat death was due 
to intestinal trouble.
Mr. Chapin was born in 1857 in
Ann Arbor and received his primary
education from the public schools,
school in 1866. His parents were
among the earliest settlers of Anil Ar-
bor, coming here in 1833.
Entered Postal Service
Upon graduating from the local high
school, he went to St. Johns where
hie soon entered the service of the
United States post office. In relatively
short periods of time he was advanced
to deputy postmaster andwthen to post-
master. This latter position he held
until 1895, when he returned to this
city.
After a brief stay in Ann Arbor, he
journeyed to Cripple Creek, Colo.,
where he joined in the gold rush. He
spent several years in prospecting be-
fore returning to Ann Arbor.
In 1907 he became connected with
the law library and held the position
of assistant there from that time un-
til his death. At the Law school he
was known for faithfulness and cour-
tesy, and is reported to have held re-
spect of the faculty and students. In
his years at the library he developed
an unusual knowledge of law books
which made him, according to Judge
Victor H. Lane, of the Law school, who
was librarian during a part of Chapin's
service, one of the most helpful men
in the department
Interment At Forest Hill
He is survived by his sister, Miss
Lucy E. Chapin, of Ann Arbor, and
five out-of-town cousins. Funeral serv-
ices will be held at 2:30 o'clock today
at St. Andrew's Episcopal church.
Rev. Henry Lewis and Rev. Henry
Tatlock will officiate. Interment will
be a Forest Hill cemetery.
All afternoon classes at the Law
school will be dismissed today in re-
spect to the memory of Mr. Chapin.
Anspacher To Talk
On Motion Pictures
Louis K. Anspacher, dramatist and
orator, will speak on "The Mob tand
the Movies" Thursday night in Hill
auditorium, as the sixth number of the
Oratorical association lecture series.
The lecturer was here two years ago
on the same course and officers of the
association consider him one of the
finest orators who appeare on their
lecture course.
Mr. Anspacher is an American, born
in Cincinnati, Ohio. He graduated
from the College of the City of New
York in 1897 and received his masters'
degree from Columbia two years
later. He continued in Columbia,
studying law, and in 1902 received his
LL. B. degree and accepted a position
as secular lecturer at the Temple
Emanuel of New York city where he
stayed for three years. In 1906 he
accepted a position as a member of
the lecture staff of the League for Po-
litical Education and has remained
identified with that organization ever
since.
ins1904 he attempted his first play,
"Tristain and Isolde," a poetical
drama, and continued writing until
his most successful play "The Un-
chastened Woman," was producel in
1915. Since then he has written
se'emmore, his last, "Dagmar," hav-
Ig appeared in 1923.
,r, Anspacher is a member of the
staff of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts
a:.I Sciences and is also one of the
founders of the Drama league. Dur-
ing the war he wrote a number of
poems, among them "The Clarion" and
'he Pledge," and he has also had
cunsiderable experience as an actor
on the legitimate stage.

Fielding H. Yost, in yesterday's in-
terview on the qeustion of the values
in competitive sport, said that "itere
is a great field of education values
that are richly served by competitive
sport."
Coach Yost took the case of they
development of the individual boy for
an example and continued by saying.
"Nothing is more important than that
a boy should learn, during the forma-
tive years of his life, to control and
command his own powers, to focusI
them upon a single end, to mobilize
them quickly and completely,sand yet
to do so with the chivalrous regard
for the rights of the others and the
rules of the game." Such a training,
believes Coach Yost. is the funda-
mental developing power of an in-
dividual toward good and useful
citizenship. In expressing this point
further, lie continued by saying, "Itj
is possible to preach to this boy in
the class room or in the church, to
show him the need and the importance
of it, but it is vital and imperativeI
that he should have something like a
laboratory training in carrying out tha
precepts we' give him. Competitive

MAKE APPOINTMENTS'i
IN RECORDER'S 9OFFICE
Underclassmen, Upperclassmen With I
Irregularities Of Curriculum,
Must Consult Committee
PLAN AVOIDSCONFUSION
More than 400 appointments were
made in the Recorder's office yester-
day for literary students consulting
the upperclass advisory committee or
firs year students who must have their
schedules approved by the freshman
advisory committee on second semes-
ter elections. The appointments were
made to take place during the first
two weeks following the Christmas
vacation, beginning Jan. 4, 1927. The
remainder of the appointment cardsl
will be distributed during the bal- I
ance of this week.
Upperclassmen with any irregular-
ities of curriculum and sophomores
must consult with the upperclass ad-
visory committee while all freshmen
must consult with the classification
committee, during the two weeks fol-
lowing vacation. Upperclassmen with
no irregularities will make their sec-,
ond semester election themselves dur-
ing the period.
Unavoidable changes in the sched-
ules made during the appointment per-
iod may be made, if absolutely neces-
sary, at the opening the second sem-
ester, according to officials.
The appointment plan was inaugur-
ated this year to avoid the confusion
of the former system in having the
election period during the week of ex-
aminations.

DISCUSS IMPEACHMENT
House Considers Alen Property Bill
Which Provides For Payment
!Of War Beath ClaIms
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Deck 13.-Boulder
canyon dam legislation was given a
preferential status on the Senate pro-
gram today by Republican leaders.
They decided it should be taken up
after the rivers and harbors bill which
comes up tomorrow, the Gooding rail-
road fund measure and the Capper
truth-in-fabric bill are considered.
The program was outlined by the
Republican steering committee which
decided that after the Bouldertcanyon
dlam bill, tie Senate should take up
the proposal to settle French spoila-
tion claims, which have been pending
50 years.
After that two bills affecting the
prohibition service would come up
one to reat bureaus of prohibitionj
andl custoims separated from the
internal revenue, and another to place
prohibition agents under civil service.
Last on the list of the steering com-
mittee was the bill to re-organize the
bureau of domestic .nd foreign com-
m erce.
The Gooding bill provides that cer-
tain railroads, indebted to the govern-
ment and unable to meet their obiga-
tions, shall be given a lower interest
rate and a longer time in which to
settle.
The proper proposal would require
the labeling of goods to show the
exact content * of the fabric. The
Boulder canyon project is provided for
in the Swing-Johnson bill, which calls
for construction of a dam across the
Colorado river for power and ir
rigation purposes.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.--A shadow
 of further impeachment proceedings
fell over the Senate as it voted 70 to 9
to dismiss the charges of Federal
Judge English of the Eastern Illinois
district, who resigned November 4.
Senator Reed, Democrat, Mississippi,
surprised the Senate by suggesting
that it devise means of obtaining
testimony in impeachment proceed-
ings without the necessity of sitting
as a court, because, he explained,
"there are other impeachment pro-
ceedings necessary if I have been cor-
rectly informed."
He did not amplify this statement
on the Senate floor, and when ques-
tioned later, he declined to discuss it.
The English proceedings came to a
quick but fiery ending after the Senate
took up the recommendation of the
House manager for dismisal of the
case.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Immediate
payment in full of claims of Ameri-
can nationals for death or personal in-
jury growing out of the war with
Germany, and payment out of the
American treasury up to $100,000,000
for seized German ships, radio sta-
tions and patents, are provided for in
the Alien Property adjustment bill re-
ported today to the House.
Chairman Green of the Ways and
Means Committee, which drew up the
measure, said it was estimated that
ab out $180,000,000 including interest
to January 1, 1927, would be awarded
American citizens, and about $60,000,-
000 would go to the United States
government.
The measure makes no provision for
the return of Austrian and Hungarian
I property, as the commission created
to adjust claims of Americans against
those governments has not yet begun.
Ito function.
Payment in full will be made on
American claims of $100,000 or less.
On claims above that amount, an.
initial $100,000 will be paid, and these
claims given priority "for future
payments from Germany until an
amount equal to 80 per cent of -all
awards has been distributed to Ameri-
can nationals."
