day, Adolpho Diaz, president of Nica-

posal to the liberals, seeking tounseat

Through the Nicaraguan legation
here, President Diaz suggested com-
pletion of his term with the liberals
represented in executive and judicial
posts; a new election Yin 1928 under
and he himself was barely ale to
reach safety after perhaps the greatest
peril out of which any explorer es-
caped alive.
Sir Douglas will supplement his lec-
ture with six reels of moving pictures
taken by Frank Hurley, photographer
of the expedition, showing animal,
bird, and deep-sea life as well as
views of the mountainous seas and
towering icebergs which they en-
countered. A perfect picture was se-
cured of a violent blizzard in Adelie
land, where the wind is recorded as
having attained a velocity of 216 miles
per hour, and where the average ve-
vocity for 27 months was 50 miles an
hour.
Describes Journey
In describing the 1,000 mile sledge
journey across King George VLand
on which lie was accompanied by Dr.
X. Mertz and Lieut. B. F. Ninnis, Sir
b~ouglas shows a picture of the cre-
vasses down which Ninnis plunged to
his death. For days he occupied the
sledge' with Dr. Mertz on scanty ra-
tions, suffering intensely from the
cold. After a few days Dr. Mertz suc-
ccumbed from cold and hunger and
Sir Douglas resumed his journey
alone. Three weeks later he fortun-
ately discovered a cache of provisions
which enabled him to reach his win-
ter quarters on the coast. On his
arrival at the base camp he saw the
Aurora, the ship of the expedition, on
the horizon homeward bound, and he
was compelled to remain in the An-
tarctic another year.
"My escape," says Sir Douglas, "was
almost mifaculous. I was in the last
stages of starvatoin when I discover-
ed a food cache left by a searching
party. It was 30 days after the death
of my last companion before I reached
the hut of the expedition on the coast,
and traveling was for the most part
in falling and drifting snow.
Expedition Was Successful j
"The expedition, however, was most
successful, having completed our
knowledge of the Antarctic regions
and it operated in the great unknown
expanse to the west of the much-fre-
quented Ross-Sea area."
As a lecturer he is well worth hear-
ing and his fascinating story is un-
forgettably impressive, in the opinions
of Dean Alfred H. Lloyd and Prof.
Jesse S. Reeves. "His story of the
expedition as related in his two vol-
umes, "The Home of the Blizzard,"
and as told in his lecture is thehmost
thrilling story of adventure that I
know," Professor Hobbs stated.
Sir Douglas was born in Bradford,
Yorks, and received his education at
Sydney university. He is now Pro-
fessor of Geology at the University of
Southern Australia, Adelaide. He fol-
lowed his first experience in explora-
tion among the cannibals of the New
Hebrides islands by accompanying Sir
Ernest Shackelton on his expedition
in 1909 in the capacity of phisicist and
minerologist. le was one of the few
who succeeded in reaching the sum-
mit of Mount Erebus and in re-locat-
ing the South Magnetic Pole.

VERDICT W~ASbWRONG
Higher Body Quashes Case By Rever.
sal Of Judgment, But Supports
Evolution Law
BARS FURTHER APPEAL
(By Associated Press)
NASHVILLE, Jan. 15.-Tennessee
supreme court today proclaimed the
'fundamental soundness of the state's
famous law against teaching the the-
ory of evolution in state supported
{ schools. At the same time, it reversed
the verdict of "guilty" against Prof.
John T. Scopes, whose case was on
appeal, and then barred the course to
the United States supreme court by
recommending that the case be nolle
prosse instead of retrial.
Without a dissenting vote the court
recommended to L. D. Smith, state at-
torney-general, that the "peace and
dignity" of the state would best be
served by a nolle prosse, thus ending
I what the court termed "this bizarre
case" once and for all.
Mr. Smith announced he would fol-
low the recommendation and not seek
1 a retrial.
The opinion declaring the law con-
stitutional was delivered by Chief
Justice Green and concurred in by two
other justices, but Justice McKinney
dissented on the ground that the act's
I "uncertainty of meaning" rendered it
invalid.
The conviction of Professor Scopes,
who was a science teacher, was re-
versed because Judge John T. Rauls-
ton, presiding, fined him $100, when
the jury failed to fix a fine. The high
court held that only a jury may fix
a fine of more than $50 under Ten-
nessee law.
While obviously disappointed over
the action of the court, counsel for the
'Scopes defense pointed to certain fea-
tures as indicating a partial victory
for the opponents of the law.
Two Week Period Of
Early Classification
Proves Satisfactory
Classifications for the second term
in the literary college were virtually
complete yesterday when the Record-
er's office closed following the two
I week period. More than 90 per cent
of the literary students have classified
l during the two weeks, those remain-
ing who have not done so will have
to wait until the second week of the
final examinations. Any changes in
the schedules of those who have al-
ready classified can be made only on
Friday and Saturday, Feb. 17 and 18,
the first week of the second semester.
Students transferring from other
universities and colleges or entering
the University from secondary schools
will register and classify at the Re-
corder's office during the second week
of the final examinations. Officials
were well satisfied yesterday at the
close of the classificatio period upon I
the general success of the present
plan whereby the procedure, with the
exception of unavoidable changes, is
taken care of previous to and does
not interfere with the first term final
examinations. The present plan will
I probably be retained next year with
certain minor changes.

WORK IS ON SCHEDULE
Despite the recent cold wave and
severe snow storms the work on
Michigan's new million dollar stadium
is on schedule. The progress of ex-
cavation has not been slowed up in
any degree by weather conditions,
declared Coach Fielding H. Yost yes-
terday afternoon. "In fact," he con-
tinued, "80 per cent of the excavat-
ing is completed and all the work is
going along better than what has been
expected."
The huge shovels are digging the
dirt from the bowl at the rate of
1 handreds of cubic yards a day. The
snow has been cleared away from the
various sections so as not to inter-
fere with the work of the steam
shovels. The crews of workers have
concentrated all their efforts on the
excavating, as the drains and other
work have been completed. All the
digging will be finished in consider-
able advance of the time set for the
cement work of laying the seats and
outer structures. When the last frost
leaves the ground, which will prob-
ably be' around the first of April, the
cementing will be started.
Preparations For
'The Last Warning'
Near Completion
Preparations for "The Last Warn-
ing," a play by Thomas Fallon which
will be given next Tuesday, Wednes-
day, and Thursday nights in the Mimes
theater by the Comedy club are near-
ing completion, according to officiers
of the club. The scenery, whi h has
been specially constructed fo the
play, and the special effects, upon
which several weeks of preparation
have been spent, are ready for the
opening performance, and costumes
have been specially ordered from the
New York Costume company in Chi-
cago.
The play is taken from a novel by
Wadsworth Camp, "The House of
Fear," and is of a mysterious nature.
Charles Livingstone, '27L, will take
.the leading part. Tickets for any of
the three performances may be secur-

UNiSrAIN IuiTALfA 22
(By Associated Press)
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 15.-While re-
ports of bandits or revolutionary dis-1
turbances in different parts of the re-j
public continue, the leading Mexican
newspapers comment on the possible
seriousness of the relations between
Mexico and the United States. They
make little for the moment of the
disturbances.1
The Mexican government announces
that it has taken over 14 more pieces +
of Catholic property, alleged to have!
been abandoned by priests. Bishop
Pascual Diaz is reported to have i
reached Guatemala city safely, but
there is no official confirmation of1
this.
The oil situation is uncertain, as
the government's future policy has l
not been announced.E
The arrest of Catholics as well as1
others suspected of being implicated
in revolutionary movements was on,r
but the government officially denies
that any Catholic priests have beent
executed in Mexico City, and indicate'
that those not concerned in rebellion
need have no fear.c
The 14 pieces of church property
referred to in today's announcement i
are in villages most of which are dis- i
tant from railroads. The majority are
described as "annexes" of churches,
but several are listed as houses of
priests oil religious orders. These
will be converted into government,
schools, hospitals and municipal
offices.1

the Secretary of State that the com-
mittee could make public a "corrected"
copy of the transcript of his state-
ment to it last Wednesday.
Asserting that the transcript had
been "rewritten," with parts of the
original eliminated, Senator Borah
said he was not so certain that his
committee would want to stand spon-
sor for it going to the public.
"The secretary can make the tran-
script public if he desires," the sena-
'tor said. "It is his statement, not
ours. It is not the statement he made
to the committee. He has rewritten
it;' eliminated parts of it and cut it
up."
State department officials said they
had assumed that Secretary Kellogg
would be expected to make such re-
vision as would permit him to incor-
porate additional information and to
eliminate such things as it would not
be in the public interest to publish.
The foreign relations committee
chairman took the position that the
veil of secrecy on the ,committee pro-
ceedings was called for by Mr. Rel-
logg andthat only he could lift it.
Announcing that he always had fav-
ored public hearings by his committee,
Senator Borah said the public ought
to have the full statement on the Mex-
ican-Nicaraguan situation.
Griffin Hits French
Policy Of Excluding
American-Made Cars
France is planning to exclude
American automobiles in an endeavor
to aid , French manufacturers, their
policy will be unwise but not unna-
tural, is the opinion of Prof. Clare E.
Griffin of the School of Business Ad-
ministration, commenting yesterday
on a recent news article concerning
French fear of the invasion of Amer-
ican cars. "The United States has no
right to criticize the French attitude
for it.is comparable to the American
policy of a high protective tariff to
exclude foreign products."
The American automobile industry
has invested more than $5,000 per
workman which is more than any
other country has invested. The ad-
vantages of larger capital, better
equipment, quantity production, and
possibly, more effective management
