EIGHT PAGES TO BR ACAST IRST RWJTO T PRESIDENT LITTLE ANNOUNCES TOPIC OF 111S ADDRESS: WILL BE "REMARKS" PLAN FIFTEEN PROGRAMS Band Arranges Program To Introduce University Of 3lchigan Before Large radio Audience The first of the series of 15 radio programs to be broadcast by the Uni- versity of Michigan during the year 1927-28, will be broadcast tonight from station WWJ, the Detroit News, between 7 and 8 o'clo. J Waldo Ab- bot, of the rhetoric department, who. Is program manager, will again offi- ciate as announcer. Tonight's inaugural program will mark the second year in which "Mich- igaln Night" has been a feature on the air, programs having been broadcast every other Friday night during the 1926-27 college year. The same plan has been adopted this year, with Mr. Abbot again chosen to have charge of the programs. Five well-known University offi- bais will deliver addresses on the opening program tonight. These are President Clarence Cook Little, Field- ing H. Yost, director of intercollegiate athletics; Charles A. Fisher, assistant director of the University Extension division; T. Hawley Tapping, secretary of the Alumni association; and Dr. Carl Badgley, specialist in children's surgery, of the University' hospital and Medical school. Little To Speak Briefly President Little, owing to the fact that his speech will be limited in time as he has to attend a meeting of the Board of Regents tonight, has selected as the topic of his address, "Remarks." "Making Athletics for All a Reality" will be the subject of the talk of Coach Yost. It is also probable that1 the retired coach will have somethingi of interest to say in regard to the first, game in the new stadium to be played Saturday against Ohio Wesleyan. It y at *1 in lAtituton tha;Coab i Yost began his coaching career 30 years ago. The speech to be given tonight by Dr. Badgley will be on "Infantile Para- lysis."' With the epidemic now rag- ing in some sections o the country and one student stricken by the dis- ease, an authoritative discussion on this subject will be of timely interest. Tapping To Talk Mr. Tapping in his address will touch upon on a variety of subjects of interest to Michigan alumni through- out the country. Mr. Fisher will take a few moments to outline the work that is included in the University's extension program to be carried out within the state this year. The time and place of extension courses to be given by University professors this year will also be made known at this time. Featured on the musical side of the program will be the Varsity band, un- der the direction of Nicholas Falcone. They will open this part of the pro- gram with "The Victors," to be fol- lowed by "Varsity" and the newly ar- ranged "Stadium March," "I Want to Go Back to Michigan," Overture, "Radiant," and "Yellow and Blue." Numbers have been so arranged for the first 'broadcast as to introduce the University of Michigan to the radio audience. On a later program more enphasis will be placed on -con- cert music. Adelhil Room Used Tonights program will be broadcast from the old Adelphi room on the fourth floor of University hall. At special wire will relay it to WWJ from where it will be broadcast to the radio world. A canvas room within the room itself has been constructed' by the buildings and grounds depart-I ment, and will serve to break the echo, according to Mr. Abbot. Allf expenses of radio transmission itself1 are paid by the Detroit News. 1 Pamphlets containing all speeches1 by faculty members on the 15 pro- grams to be broadcast this year will be published again this year, Mr. Ab- I bot declared. These will be mailed free of charge, on request of those-. writing te WWJ. Last year's demand far exceeded the supply, but the num- ber of pamphlets will be increased this year. Listeners are also requested to s e ii d, communications suggesting speakers or subjects they would like to have included on the programs this year.

OFFICIALSCOMMUNICATE Presidents Coolidge And Calles Open' Service But Fail To Understand Each Other's Language . (By Associatcd Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-With ex- pressions of hope that the closer con-j tact will result in better understand- ing, President Coolidge and President! Calles inaugurated telephone service today between Washington and Mexico City with a personal conversation. "It is to be hoped that the Interfra- ternity council will make the most of its great opportunities this coming year." said Dean Joseph Bursley yes- terday in commenting on the first meeting of the council, which will be held next Tuesday afternoon. Dean Bursley further criticized the inaction which the organization has shown in previous years and briefly mentioned a few of the problems with which it may cope. Foremost among these is the problem of late pledging. There is little doubt that later pledg- ing would be beneficial not only to the entering students who are being rushed, but also to the fraternities themselves, who would thus have a better opportunity of becoming ac- quainted with the men. Yet nearly all the fraternities are opposed to de- lay pledging and since the Interfra- ternity council is the only body that unites all the houses, the solution of the problem must fall upon it. Late pledging was under consideration nearly all last year but nothing was done about it. Dean Bursley suggested that the council study the methods used by the interfraternity associa- tions in other schools and adopt as many of them as are feasible. In many colleges these bodies are among the strongest on the campus and exert a SACCO-VANZETTI CASE permanent. Speaking into an instrument in the i'hall of the Pan-American building, Mr. Coolidge assured the Mexican execu-1 tive that he was deeply impressedj with the engineering skill that had linked the two capitals and Mr. Calles replied that he hoped the eventI marked a new era of goodwill and' less differences would be set aside.

The problem of scholarship is an- other that will come before the coun- cil this year. Whatever is being done about scholarship in the fraternities is accomplished at the instigation of the national body, at present. Dean Bursley is attempting to make this a campus problem, and by means of the Interfraternity council to have the fraternities themselves take a broader interest in their scholarship standings. In years previous the choice of de- gates from the various houses has been a haphazard one. Dean Bursley advocates that the president of the house and one junior aittend the coun- cil meetings thus making the organi- zation a really intelligent and repre- sentative body. The meeting Tuesday will be for the election of this year's officers. Dean Bursley intends to be present for the first few meetings. SUNDERLAND IS APPOINTED TO NEW LAW BODY Law Professor Chosen for Committee Which Will Recommend Legal Reforms to Courts" Prof. E. R. Sunderland, of the law department, has been appointed a member of a commission of five law- yers to revise rules of legal procedure in the state and submit them to the Michigan Supreme court. An act pro- viding for this commission was passed at the last Michigan legislature. Other members of the commission are: Alva M. Cummings, of Lansing; Alexis C. Angell, of Detroit; John M. Dunham, of Grand Rapids; and Kelly Searl of St. Johns. The Supreme court of Michigan under the state constitution, has full power to make rules of practice for all the courts of records in the state, and this commission was created as a means for making that power effec- tive," said Professor Sunderland. "The Supreme court has always c.- operated with the Michigan State Bar association in revising and improving the practice whenever committees of that. association have presented new rctles fr the Court's considertions But the present commission is the first official body ever constituted in the state for the definite purpose of in- vestigating the practice and devising measures for improving it by means of court rules." Professor Sunderland and his re- search assistant, Mr. W. W. Blume, are engaged at present in a study :,f the methods of appeal in use in.the various states, for the determination of their comparitive advantages and disadvantages. "The present practice is too tech- nical, slow, and expensive, and it is hoped that 'a much more efficient sys- tem of appeals in this state ma .e sult from the study now being mad " said Professor Sunderland. YELL LEADER MAY ACCOMPANY TEAM Hawley Tapping, field secretary of the Michigan Alumni association, has announced that the Alumni association is now working out a system whereby the Varsity cheerleader may accom- pany the team to all out of town games. The work is in charge of Henry B. Killilea, '85, of Milwaukee, who is the director of the fifth district of the Alumni association, which includes Wisconsin and Illinois. According to the plan, which is being worked out, the various clubs would share in the expenses of the Varsity cheerleader while on his out of town trips. PROFESSOR EDITS MEDICAL JOURNAL Publication of the first issue of "An- nals of Internal Medicine," the monthly medical journal of the Ameri- can College. of Physicians, was an- nounced yesterday by its editor, Dr. Alfred S. Warthin, professor of path- ology and director of the pathological laboratories at the University. Dr. Warthin said that though the number just published was the July edition; by October it was hoped to have the journal appearing' on the scheduled' time. The editorial office of the paper is located in the pathological laboratory, in the west medical building. WOMAN TO SEEK CONGRESS SEAT (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. - Mrs. Ruth, Hanna McCormick announced More Than 30,000 Are Expected Athletic Association Guests At Tomorrow's Contest. Asp Wilbur Price, assistant secretary of state has, in a letter to the UniversityI authorities, announced the intention of the State. department to uphold the action of the officials in Glasgow in refusing a visa to Prof.. P. M. Jack, who was to have headed the rhetoric department here., Professor Jack was engaged by President Little this summer to till the vacancy left by the registration of Prof. Fred Scott. The refusal of the immigration authorities to pertfdt' him to enter this country is due to the fact, although he was formerly an instructor in the University of Edin- burgh, he has been engaged in graid.- oate study for the past two years. 1 Under the present regulations he must have been engaged in the work whieh he will take up in this country within the previous two years. Dr. Frank Robbins, secretary to the president, has written to the State de- partment, attempting to convince them that a teacher may engage in study or1 research without undergoing a change in profession, but as yet the decisionI to bar Professor Jack from this coun- try remains unchanged. ready has contributed much to inter- national communication. Following the translation of Presi- dent Coolidge's remarks by Mr. Rowe personally to President Calles, the, Mexican executive began to speak, his words being translated from the Span- ish. ,t no time during the conversation of the two presidents was the connec-1 tion interrupted. The voice of Mr. Cal- les was particularly distinct. Presi- dent Coolidge could be heard plainly in Mexico City, it was said, but his voice-at this end did not seem to carry quite so well as that of the Mexican executive. PAUL A. HERBERT TO SPEAK TODAY Pau'l A. Herbert, employee of the federal forest reserve and member of a comminttee for an inquiry into fed- eral forest taxaton will speak on problems met with in making the forest taxation inquiry in a lecture to- day at 9 o'clock in room 2039 Natural Science building. The investigation in which Mr. Herbert is concerned has been going on for some months, most- ly in the lake states. A system of cooperative research in1 Michigan will probably be under- taken by senior forestry students in an effort to aid Mr. Herbert, Dean Samuel T. D al of the School of Forestry and Conservation said. The raw materials will be provided the students had a chance given them to make research into forestry tax prob- lems. The economic survey of the state of Michigan has saved the members of the inquiry much work. This survey was made by the Department of Cou.- servation under Leigh J. Young, stak~e forestry commissioner. He was aid- ed in organizing the survey by P. S. Lovejoy and H. J. Andrews. TWISTER SW P WEST ST. 'LOUIS KILLING NIHELY 80 AND INJURING MORE THAN300: TREES UPROOTED AND BUILDINGS WRECKED, Estimate 75 Millions As Storm's Toll; Relief Workers Toil On Through Night To Recover Bodies ST. LUIS, Sept. -g.--Striking the beautiful west end of the city, a tornado conmilig out of the southwestern skies left in its wake 6o known dead, hundreds of injured and the remnant of block after block of de- stroyed homes shortly after noon todayq. Six square miles were wrecked andtorn by the storm, with a property damage estimated by the Globe- Dem crat at $75,000,000. Tlie twister reached a velocity of 9o miles an hour in a few seconds aid subsided as many minutes later to be followed shortly by, a brilliant Iun sliining throughi wind-torn clouds. \\ith rescuers working through the night, it is probable that the - ------death list will run well over 50 while the estimate of the injured ran 300 or The west side, a section of boule- vards, trees and houses of moderately wealthy St. Louisans, is nearly cov- -Ied with a blanket of uprooted trees, torn timbers and brick out of which Deesion intfuenced They were convicted, but even had they been acquitted, the people will always believe that it was the avowed radicalism of Sacco and Vanzetti that influenced the decision. And the peo- ple are right; for the state must pre- serve the status quo, or else perish itself." "Courts were instituted to prevent private wars, and keep peace, and not to dispense justice," Professor Knight asserted. "For any proof of that, just try to think if you really want justice. Of course you don't; you want more than justice. And, under the present state-church made-and-pre- served system of social order, injus- tice is inevitable. The combined forces of the church and the state are pledged to the con- tinuance of an crder of society which exists only because of the dominance of certain powers and interests over other powers and interests." Ste Is Immoral. Professor Knight continued, "The state is positively immoral, besides be- ing unmoral. Neither the ends, or1 -ile 'means, of a state are ever. justifiable. The means were force and fraud, .aid the ends are to see that the major forces continue to dominate in so- ciety, and that it all happens peace- fully. Peace and unity become imure important than liberty and truth. The church and the state work together on this mutual perpetuation process; the church becomesathe fraud depart- ment of the state, and the state, the violence department of the church." "Perhaps the biggest reason for the decline of the church in modern times, is due to the fact that the state has found a more efficient fraud de- partment in the public press and schools," he said. SIR PHILIP KERR TO TALK TUESDAY Sir Philip Henry Kerr, secretary of DETROIT BOYS TO COME More than thirty thousand high- school students from all parts of the state will attend the Michigan-Ohio Wesleyan football game tomorrow as guestis of the University, according to Harry Tillotson, business manager of the Athletic association. At 2 o'clock, before the game, President Clarence Cook Little will ad- dress the gathering in the Yost Field house. His remarks will probably con- sist of a brief welcome and a short talk on the University, since many of these boys are prospective University students. The Varsity band will also be at the Field house to lend an added air of college spirit to the occasion. Frank Cody, superintendent of De- troit schools, will speak tomorrow in various Detroit high-schools, urging that all who are abl'ill take advant- age of the opportunity to attend this game. The Detroit Boys club, an or- ganization of under-privileged boys, is planning to send 1,700 boys to the fes- tivities, also. The University is send- ing telegrams to all nearby high- schools, announcing the opportunity and requesting that as many students as possible come to Ann Arbor for the game. SCHLEE CRITICIZES U. S. COOPERATION (By Assoiated Pres) SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-The United States Navy department by re- fusing to cooperate, "threw a monkey- wrench into the plans of William F. Brock and Edward S. Schlee for cross- ing the Pacific ocean in their round- the-world flight, which terminated in Japan, Schlee asserted here today. "You can tell the world we got bet- ter cooperation from the foreign gov- t ernments than we did from the home government," Schlee declared em- phatically. "We at least got maps fromthe for- eign governments, and all we got in Washington we had to buy. The first American gifts of maps arrived today showing the way across the conti- nent." JUSTICE STEERE TO LEAVE BENCH (By Associated Press) LANSING, Sept. 29.-The resigna- tion of Justice Joseph H. Steere, dean of the state supreme bench, and the appointment of Circuit Judge Richard C. Flannigan of Norway as his succes- sor, were announced by Gov. Fred W. Green today. The reason given for Justice Steere's resignation was a desire to I be relieved of the arduous duties of the supreme court. Judge Flannigan is a senior judge of the Michigan cir- cuit.

An estimated total of 2,500 homes were either wrecked or damaged, while the streets and boulevards were clogged with fallen telephone poes, and hundreds of the city's most beau- tiful trees. Trolley wires torn from their supports flashed blue flame as they met the car track, nd the showis of policemen kept the terrified people from injury or death from the live wires. With telephone service demoralized, it took the city several minutes to learn what had happened,. The news of the tornado was flashed over the city by 4,dio, and mothers ip parts of the city unvisited by the storm were in terror as they awaited word from the schools in the tornado district. The twister was accompanied by a terrific rain which added to the deso- lation. Houses and factories were crumpled in many paces like toys. The first flashes that reached fire and police policeman and fireman. The storm area was quickly blocked against the curious by a hastly formed cordon. Behind the cordon ,4pre hastily organ- ized units of relief and men began digging into heaps'of stone and brick to locf fc\ persons they believed were buried. Along state traffic way in the prIde of ,the city's hame -section, there were gaping holes in walls, a fallen forest of trees, while along the curb were automobiles, some turned turtle, oth- ers with the tops torn off and deut- ished by falling bricks. Beside the wrecked structures stood groups . of individuals, some jdazed, others crying for help. Willing work- ers responded and 'elderly womeii and men were helped from their homes. The pupils had fled from the lately remodeled Central, high school, when parts of the exterior structure fell and there was fear that the rof would cave in. A theater received thefran- tic pupils as they sought refu-ge in the rain. The childen left the bilding in good order, however, as they hat been well trained in fire drills. 6 Sixteen children were injured but ,none were known to have died. Then came the wailing of fire and police sirens as they sped to the scene where three unidentified wom- en were killed, two of whom were burned to death in one of the many fires that followed the catastrophe. Policemen Killed, 1etective Sgt. Edward Schaff and an unidentified patrolman hastily rushing into the storm district were killed by a falling wall. At the Mu1- lanthy hospital there were pathetc scenes as 63 patients werechrred out. None were injured seriusW- lthough the wind sideswiped the building r p- ped the entire west wing to ah ds and swept the roof and upper floor to the ground. A score of expectant mothers or mothers with babes in their arms, were carried to safety, many of them r becoming hysterical. Every avalable policeman was brought to the rea, and Police Chief Clark immediately 0- r sued an order to "shoot all looters" ending with the grim admonition to "make coroner's cases of them As .the agencies of rescue and suc- cor were getting into action, the city was again enveloped by a weird g'een light which sent terror to the hearts of the storm sufferers. This shortly turned to a pinkish hue and torrents of rain gushed in the darkness by tiw - thousands of street lamps which were broken and useless. v A V 7a A rv nTvtI £'1UaxrTU "BAD MAN" SEATS PLACED ON SALE All tickets for "The Bad Man," first! of the Mimes' productions for the cur- rent season will go on sale this morn- ing at the box office in Mimes theater.
