Hy- att, whirlwind forward of the Union- town prep school squad which an- vaded the West two years ago to climb to the semifinals in the national tournament at Chicago; and Cohen, center of the same team, are the Pitt aces who will face lichigan for the first time. Hyatt's play was so sensational thatthe was rewarded k ,with a place on the frst all-American team. Hoban, MeCandless, and McClean are the other Pittsburgh first string players. , Undaunted by the highly touted at- tack of the invaders, "Skipper" with veiled confidence announced the Michigan lineup nominated to oppose the Panthers. Raber and Oosterbaan pre paired at the forwards; McCoy and .ptain H larrigan are paired at the guards; an Chapman is slated for the pivot positios. A glance at the Wolverine start- ers reveals the fact that Coach ia- ther has new plans in mind for the invaders, different entirely from those employed to baffle the State quintet which opened the season on Saturday. Raber, offensive star and leading point scorer of the contest with the Spartans, and Chapman, whose work in practice has impressed onlookers, are the only Michigan players who have not played against Pitt.

Outstanding among the literature received was a handsome lithograph- ed picture of the American flag, meas- uring some 30 by 20 inches, with the first -verse of the "Star 'Spangled Banner inscribed beneath. This artis- tic work is suitable for framing, aind would blend well with the surround- ings of the best blind pigs in Chi;;a- go, which will doubtless have the picture framed and hung above the bar for the Americanization of their customers.

MEXICO CIT1, Dec. 14.-Without stop Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh, piloting the Spirit of St. Louis, which earlier in the year carried him to Paris, flew from W\ashington to Mexico City. For more than 27 hours he was at the controls. Perhaps there never has been witnessed such a delirious demonstra- tion of joy by a Mexican multitude as that at 2:39 o'clock this afternoon, xwhen after some three hours of apprehension that misfortune had be- fallen the flyer, the Spirit of St. Louis settled on the Valbuena aviation field, two an(d a half miles from Mexico City. Lindy and his plane were safe and sound ; nothing was wrong except that a miscalculation of direc- tions carried the plane in a great circle from Tampico into the interior, instead of in a direct line to Mexico City. The LoneEagle not only flew over Mexico's mountains and deserts ill this first non-stop flight between the two capitals, but he flew straight into the hearts of the Mexican people -hearts already long attuned in de- otion to him by the exploits of which iiuiir ruLIbonl 1 IIDIV I I M 11 Decision not to suspend the accus- ed officials was made in aneffort to avoid the possibility of a dual gov- ernment, if Governor Johnston ignor- ed the suspension -and the senate rec- ognized the automatic succession ;0' Lieut.=Gov. J. W. Holloway to the executive chair. Under the rule adopted, the gov- ernor and those accused with hIm, Chief Justicet Fred P. Branson, of the state supreme court, and Harry B. Cordrell, president of the state board of agriculture will be automatically suspended when their trials begin. Disregarding the warning of the governor that it had permission to meet only as a group of citizens and 1 not as an impeachment body, the sen- ate met in its chamber at the capital in a peaceful atmosphere. National guardsmen who last Monday prevent- ed the house from meeting in the capital had been withdrawn, and no effort was made to disperse the sen- ate meeting. Upon convening this afternoon, the senate by a vote of 23 to 12 reaffirm- ed its power to meet as an impeach- ment court and charges were p;4ent- ed by the house board of managers. Adoption of an order to receive the charges came after a fiery speech by Sen. Tom Anglin, of Hoganville, a Democrat, author of the motion, and an address of approval by Sen. W. J, Ottjen, of Enid, Republican. Motions to accept the charge against Chief Justice Branson and Mr. Cordell also were adoptedl by a virtually unani- Imous viva voce vote.

The vote to repeal the automobile ax was 166 to 142. It was taken y members passing down the aisle and between tellers. On a previous standing vote the chair had counted an even 120 on each side of the ques- ton. Ti'e motion to eliminate the auto- mobile sales tax over protest of -. majority of the ways and means com- mittee, which in drafting the bill pro- vided for a reduction in the levy from three to one and one-half per cent was made by Representative Mc- Laughlin, of Michigan, a Republican on the committee. It was supported by a number of Repubicans and prac- tically the solid Democratic mem- bership. It is estimated complete repeal of the tax would result in the loss of $33,000,000 in revenue. Under House rules a roll call on elimination of the tax can be demanded just before the bill comes up for passage. The House in voting, 191 to 55, to retain the inheritance tax sustained its action of two years ago. The motion to repeal the levy was made by Representative Merritt, Republi- can, Connecticut, and the proposal drew support from both Democratic and Republican ranks. It was argued that Secretary Mel- Ion had recommended repeal of the tax and that a number of state leg- islatures had petitioned Congress to abandon the field of inheritance taxes in favor of the states. Members from Florida, which has no estate tax, were particularly anx- ious in seeking repeal of the federal levy which was defended by Chair- man Green, of the ways and means committee. Green charged that a con- certed effort had been made by a number of persons, prompted by sel- fish motives to eliminate the levy and that $500 bills had been "floated"' around in the cause of its repeal.
